Chapter 81: Mortal Kings Might (1) (1/2)

“His Majesty the Mortal King is truly terrifying…” Seeing the word “Amnesty”, the cultivators from afar changed their expressions; they murmured: “His Majesty the Mortal King is truly unfathomable.”

With just the word “Amnesty”, it was able to suppress Royal n.o.bles. One could only imagine how frightening the Mortal King of the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom would be! As for the other people from the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, they couldn’t help but take in a deep breath.

Zi Shan Hou gravely said: “Gu Tieshou, the Imperial Decree of His Majesty is right here; release them right now!” His hand held the Imperial Decree with its compelling momentum, causing others to run short of breath.

Gu Tieshou looked at the word “Amnesty”, shook his head, and said: “Dong Shenglong and Lie Zhan Hou wanted to destroy my Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Even the Mortal King’s Imperial Decree wouldn’t do! Execute!”

Gu Tieshou’s words changed Zi Shan Hou’s expression greatly as he yelled: “Gu Tieshou, don’t make this mistake! Defying the Immortal Decree, this would bring about a calamity that would drown your Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect!”

Gu Tieshou ignored him and exclaimed: “Execute!”

Meeting Gu Tieshou’s strong resolve, Zi Shan Hou shouted with an ugly expression: “Wait…” At this moment, he couldn’t do anything but make concessions. If he didn’t bring back Dong Shenglong and Lie Zhan Hou, then, not only would he be unsuccessful with his mission, the prestige of the Mortal King would also be provoked.

At this time, Zi Shan Hou made a concession. He spoke in a serious manner: “Gu Tieshou, let me bring Dong Shenglong and Lie Zhan Hou away. The day the Evil Infested Ridge opens, there will be a quota for your Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.”

Hearing Zi Shan Hou’s words, Gu Tieshou couldn’t help but pause for a little bit. The Evil Infested Ridge, to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, was truly too important.

He couldn’t help but look over at Li Qiye. Li Qiye smiled and said: “The Evil Infested Ridge originally was a territory of our sect; why would we need the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom’s reward?! Execute!”

Li Qiye’s words angered Zi Shan Hou till his body started trembling. He raised the Imperial Decree in his hand, and he shouted: “Junior, you should know the severity of this situation. The Imperial Decree is here! If you were to breach this decree, then all of the sects within the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom will encircle and annihilate your sect!”

“It’s just a piece of torn paper, yet you still dare to act powerful and prestigious in front of my presence?!” Li Qiye narrowed his eyes. Finished with his words, his five fingers started to pull on the zither at his chest.

“Zhang…” The moment the zither’s sound came about, from inside the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, a sword energy immediately flew forward. The moment the sword blade swept downward, one could only see the Imperial Decree be crushed and the word “Amnesty” split in half.

Everyone held their breaths at this moment. Cutting the Imperial Decree of the Mortal King, this was provoking his authority.

When the word “Amnesty” was cut in half, a “Dum” sound occurred; just like a golden G.o.dly law, the decree combined together again. The word “Amnesty” suddenly radiated a terrible light. In the blink of an eye, a majestic figure appeared from this light. The moment of his inception, his royal pressure was like a tsunami; it was like a flood of pressure was rus.h.i.+ng and wailing forward directly to the grand earth.

Under the suppression of the royal pressure, even Gu Tieshou had to take several heavy steps back.

“The Mortal King’s will…” Seeing the majestic figure emerging from the light, cultivators in the far distance couldn’t help but burst into cries.

The majestic figure suddenly opened his eyes. It was as if this pair of eyes were real. Soaking in the sun and the moon with a rotating galaxy within them, it caused others to tremblingly prostrate on the ground.

“Provoking the royal honor, behead!” The figure had just opened his mouth, and the thunders rang in the air. When the words have not yet come out, his huge hand had already struck down, and the power of the one slash wanted to directly destroy Li Qiye. This slash was extremely matchless; under this slash, even the moon illuminating the sky would fall and sweep across all Royal n.o.bles.

At this moment, Gu Tieshou’s colors were shaken. Even Li Shuangyan wanting to save Li Qiye was powerless.

“Roll…!” Li Qiye’s gaze became serious as he coldly yelled, without making any other action.

Under this fiery and thunderous slash, a loud “boom” filled the air. At this second, many Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect’s disciples couldn’t bear to look because they all thought that Li Qiye would suffer a horrible death.

However, the moment the slash was about to kill Li Qiye, a gigantic hand from the heavenly sky came about. A huge explosion happened, and this gigantic hand shattered the shadowy figure. The will of the Mortal King bellowed, a strand of universal laws wanted to escape from the gigantic hand. However, this gigantic hand ground it with pressure and immediately crushed it. The figure of the Mortal King became scattered ashes and dispersed like smoke.

Everything happened so fast, so no one clearly saw where this giant hand came from.

During all of these occurrences, in the martial ground of the far Nine Saint Demon Gate, there was a stone statue raising his stone hand. This one hand stretched across the heaven and earth directly to the end of the sky; no one knew where this hand was going!

This stone hand, from the Nine Saint Demon Gate, flying from millions of miles away, easily destroyed the Mortal King’s will. Even if the Mortal King’s will could suppress Royal n.o.bles, under this gigantic hand, it was just a meaningless insect.

Seeing the stone hand appear then suddenly disappear, Li Shuangyan – standing next to Li Qiye – was shocked. Others didn’t know what this gigantic hand was, but she knew!

A stone hand, trespa.s.sing through the world from the Nine Saint Demon Gate, reached out, and it easily destroyed the Mortal King’s will – how frightening was this!

Li Shuangyan had heard her master say that the four stone statues were the Heavenly Protectors of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, but she essentially didn’t know how powerful these stones statues, dubbed as the Heavenly Protectors, were.
