Chapter 1748: Liquid Lime (1/2)

Master Chanlong sighed and said sorrowfully, “I failed to sense that Godking Duanmu had prepared something there. If I hadn’t reacted in time, the sword Qi would have killed me as well. I am deeply sorry for what you’ve suffered.”

“Master Chanlong, it looks like you wants us all to die so that you can enjoy Godking Duanmu’s legacy all by yourself,” Yang Kai from the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian said coldly. He was a late Overgod and did not fear master Chanlong.

Master Chanlong said innocently, “You’re mistaken. I never had such intentions. I did say before that I was only going ahead to check. I never said it would be safe. It was you who charged over.”

The Overgods were speechless with that. Master Chanlong was telling the truth. They could only blame themselves.

However, everyone’s attitude towards master Chanlong changed slightly after this incident. They remained cautious about him, no longer trusting him like before.

Master Chanlong did not care about this at all. The items Godking Duanmu left behind were just far too attractive. Compared to them, fame and prestige were nothing.

“Thank you, brother Jian Chen,” Ling Hougong’s grateful voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head.

All the other Overgods from the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian thanked Jian Chen secretly. If it were not for Jian Chen’s warning, some of them probably would have died to the sword Qi as well.

“Brother Jian Chen, how did you know that there was danger ahead?” Yang Kai also asked secretly.

“Senior Yang Kai, you’re overestimating me. How would I know whether there’s danger or not? I just felt like these three stone huts are a little too simple,” replied Jian Chen. The other Overgods had heard his words as well.

“Sigh, looks like brother Jian Chen is the calm one. We were too reckless earlier. None of us were able to resist Godking Duanmu’s treasures, so our desire clouded our vigilance,” Bing Lou sighed gently.

They clearly understood what Jian Chen was trying to say. They had lost their usual calm due to their attraction to the treasure in the room and the provocation of the people around them.

Jian Chen said nothing more. Instead, he stared at where the sword Qi had swung down from before sternly. He was quite disturbed.

He had just witnessed eight Overgods being reduced to nothingness before a strand of sword Qi that was enough to cause everyone present to pale. They did not even leave behind their Space Rings.

The other Overgods only managed to survive because they were towards the edge of the attack. They had not received the full blow of the sword Qi, or they probably would not be alive either.

“Is this the strength of a Godking? Even Godking Duanmu, who failed to make the rankings of the Godking’s Throne, is so powerful. Just how terrifyingly powerful are Audriana and protector Shui then?” Jian Chen thought. He could not help but think of the two Godkings he had encountered on the Tian Yuan Continent.

The two of them were experts who were ranked on the Godking’s Throne, making them much more powerful than Duanmu. Protector Shui, in particular, was even ranked ninth!

In the past, even though Jian Chen felt that Audriana and protector Shui were unfathomable, even though he knew they were Godkings, he had no concept of a Godking at all. Only after the sword Qi from Godking Duanmu appeared did he gain a deeper understanding towards the terrifying power of Audriana and protector Shui.

In his eyes, Overgods were experts who could reign supreme over an entire region. A divine kingdom only possessed a little over a dozen Overgods, yet they were so weak before Godking Duanmu’s sword Qi.

They were not even as great as ants!

“Everyone, I will continue checking for dangers,” master Chanlong said at this moment. The inscriptions on the disc in his hand flickered rapidly before hovering before him. Master Chanlong stared at the disc. He formed a seal with his hand, advancing towards the stone hut as if he had predicted anything.
