Chapter 1057: Counter It All With Just A Single Dao (1/2)
In front of the fortress, after the deal was made, Zhong Yue laughed, “You’d better not forget the little secret we talked about just now.”
“What little secret?” asked the puzzled Old Man Xuan and Qi.
Zhong Yue opened his mouth again but this time, no words came out. Old Man Xuan and Qi then shouted, “Louder!”
Zhong Yue once again opened his mouth but no words came out. Suddenly, he burst out laughing and left decisively.
Old Man Xuan and Qi turned around and said to Gui Youmin right away, “Left Prime Minister! He didn’t say anything to us!”
Gui Youmin smirked, “Of course I know about this puny trick of his. King Yi is trying to raise conflict among us and make me doubt your loyalty! Anyway, you shouldn’t have bet with King Yi.”
Old Man Xuan and Qi smiled, “King Yi has something we can neither see through nor forge. But if he bets that the weapons we forged cannot kill his men, then he is bound to lose this bet. Left Prime Minister, don’t worry, apart from monarch level existences, there is no one we can’t kill!”
Gui Youmin frowned slightly hearing this and so did Mo Yin too.
Qi Shou smirked, “The weapons we forged have only tasted defeat once, and that was only against King Yi. We did not even lose against Imperial Emperor Xian Tian!”
Whatever they said was not just empty bluster but the truth; Old Man Xuan and Qi once encountered Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and managed to force him into a corner with just an arrow, leaving him no choice but to use the divine eye gifted by his teacher, only to have the eye sealed away by the arrow!
They might have lost in the end, but the arrow they crafted gained the upper hand against Imperial Emperor Xian Tian!
Old Man Xuan and Qi smiled, “Worry not, we will send out generals later and whoever yielding our weapon will behead the enemies with ease!”
Zhong Yue returned to the fortress and asked his men, “Those who are now being threatened by the divine weapons forged, stand out.”
Nearly six hundred Deity Emperors and Creators stood out right away.
Zhong Yue then said, “Now, show me your Daos.”
The Deity Emperors and Creators immediately did as he commanded and after checking and going through with their Daos, Zhong Yue pointed at the Innate War Spirit Body, Bai Sheng and said, “Go out alone, challenge one of their generals and return to me with your opponent’s head.”
Bai Sheng shouted right away, “Mister, they have already forged a weapon that counters me entirely, I will be killed if I go out!”
Zhong Yue then activated the Innate Yi Dao and turned it into a divine bell. He smiled, “When they activate the steel gourd, just ring this bell and you will be back. Once the bell rings, not only will they not be able to harm you, they will be killed!”
Half convinced, Bai Sheng took over the divine bell and with an uneasy heart, he looked towards Long Zhi and stuttered, “Senior Martial Sister Long Zhi, Mister, I have a wife and a kid….”
Long Zhi answered, “Your family will be taken care of if you die. Just go and challenge them without any worry, I will treat them honorably and generously if you lose your life. You have my word.”
Bai Sheng was still afraid to head out, he tried to get away from it, only to have Zhong Yue threatening him, “It’s either you go out and come back with the enemy’s head gloriously or have your head hang at the fortress’ walls later!”
Left with no options, Bai Sheng mustered all he had, headed out and shouted, “I am Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ Bai Sheng, who dares to challenge me!”
On the wall, Long Zhi reached her head to Zhong Yue and asked, “Mister, are you trying to perform a blood ritual to break Old Man Xuan and Qi’s [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation]? I have heard of a powerful skill in the [Evil Tome] called the [Blood Sacrificial] that will heavily weaken a powerful weapon or array after sacrificing a few gods.”
Surprised by her question, Zhong Yue replied, “I want him to return alive gloriously with his trophy. I’m not trying to perform a blood ritual with his life. Why are you saying this, senior martial sister?”
“You are not planning to sacrifice him?”
Jiao Teng who was standing at the side was caught off guard and she giggled, “And here I thought you are trying to sacrifice our War Innate Spirit Body, I even planted a few children in him so his corpse wouldn’t be wasted.”
The gods around felt a cold shivering down their spine right away and they immediately distanced themselves from the female Imperial Emperor.
“My child won’t eat him if he is still alive.”
Jiao Teng blinked her beautiful eyes, included everyone’s expression in her vision and giggled, “Calm yourselves, I won’t eat all of you, but that’s of course when you are still useful, when you are no longer useful… Hehehehe!”
On the opposite, confusement surrounded Gui Youmin and the others while the Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ army readied up as a Deity Emperor stood at the front, shouting for a challenge.
“Does he have a death wish?”
Ting Daoji said, “What are they doing? Could it be the [Blood Sacrificial]?”
Gui Youmin’s expression changed slightly hearing this and he said, “Senior martial brothers, this Deity Emperor is the Innate War Spirit Body, Bai Sheng, did you forge a weapon that could kill him?”
Old Man Xuan and Qi slammed the hammer and after hearing its echo, they took out a steel gourd and smiled, “Here, don’t worry, even if the [Blood Sacrificial] managed to gain the upper hand over our weapon, King Yi will lose if the Innate War Spirit Body died.”
The happy Gui Youmin immediately summoned a Deity Emperor, sent him out with the steel gourd and ordered, “If you lose, you die!”
