Chapter 1108: Long Distance Chase

The moment Jikong Wudi appeared in the sky, many people’s eyes opened wide. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

“This, this is too shameless.” Someone quietly spoke.

“Not good…” Li Shuangyan and the others regained their composure and immediately rushed to the place where Li Qiye had fallen.

“Heavenly Imperial Malediction…” Older people began to calm down after slightly quivering and murmured: “It is way too vicious.”

According to legends, this type of powerful and terrifying curse was from the high heavens and would be directed at Immortal Emperors. Even these emperors would have to pay a huge price to survive.

After the endeavor, lightning would descend from the sky to create the Heavenly Imperial Malediction. No opponent would be able to escape this curse. The limit was that it could only be used once.

Zhan s.h.i.+ and Lin were shocked after seeing the curse pierce through Li Qiye’s chest, charring his body. They didn’t expect for this to happen.

In fact, no one thought that Jikong Wudi would resort to such a wretched method.

For millions of years during the struggle to become Immortal Emperor, many people engaged in sneak attacks from the shadows.

However, Li Qiye and the duo were fighting a battle between gentlemen. To ambush someone during this battle would result in them being despised by the crowd. Moreover, Jikong Wudi came from an imperial lineage. He was the descendant of an emperor and had three saint apt.i.tudes. Alas, he still committed such a despicable act.

Although people didn’t directly call him “shameless,” they had nothing but contempt for his action. This made his status in their minds drop all the way to rock bottom.

In their eyes, such an action made a mockery of his fame as a brilliant genius.

The shocked Zhan s.h.i.+ snapped at Jikong Wudi: “Jikong Wudi, what are you doing?!”

Jikong Wudi stood proudly in the sky while keeping an eye out for Mei Suyao. He glanced over at Zhan s.h.i.+ and Lin to slowly utter: “Brother Lin, Brother Zhan, I have eliminated a powerful foe and saved your lives. You two should be thanking me.”

Mei Suyao coldly looked at him and spewed with disdain: “How shameless.”

Lin also had a cold demeanor: “We didn’t need you to interfere with our battle. Such a move is truly contemptible!”

Zhan s.h.i.+ and Lin made it too clear. They were drawing the line between themselves and Jikong Wudi for they did not consider his action a favor.

Jikong Wudi ignored them and flatly said: “Victors shall become kings while losers are treated as bandits. History is written by the victors; from now on, the battle for the Heaven’s Will is between us.”

The duo only snorted dismissively at Jikong Wudi.

Many people here also felt that Jikong Wudi was too despicable and degraded his own prestige.

“Victors shall become kings while losers are treated as bandits. Are you talking about yourself?” A carefree voice came about. Li Qiye was propped up by the girls among the rubble.

Even though his chest was burnt to a crisp, he was still calm and cool. The curse couldn’t kill him.

Mei Suyao heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Li Qiye alive. She knew that he wouldn’t die so easily, but she still felt worried. After seeing him in high spirits, the heaviness in her heart finally disappeared.

“Thank the lord…” Both Lin and Zhan s.h.i.+ were relieved as well. If Li Qiye died in this manner, they would be full of regret for the rest of their lives.

“Impossible…” Jikong Wudi, on the other hand, was aghast to see Li Qiye still alive despite being penetrated by the malediction.

“The Heavenly Imperial Malediction is indeed incredible. Alas, such a thing will only act as a supplement for me.” Li Qiye chuckled dismissively.

An old rune emerged from his forehead. It contained the great power of heavenly lightning. At this time, the power of the curse was hovering around it and was refined into the rune.
