818 Death of a Prince (1/2)
”Killed one of the unchanging constants?” Zhe Huali's pupils constricted, and the demon knife behind him suddenly opened its eye to stare at Prince Qiu Ming.
The tiny human in the lantern told them about the secret of the unchanging constants, which stirred up internal strife between the people on the ship. Zhe Huali had also originally suspected that the unchanging constants could be killed.
He just didn't expect Prince Qiu Ming to actually intercept and kill the other people that had boarded the ship, even killing one of the unchanging constants.
Prince Qiu Ming said leisurely, ”I wanted to see if killing the other unchanging constants would have any effect on us. Maybe one more of us could survive. However, I realized that I've already reached the boundary of starting to fade. In the last reset, a portion of my power vanished. I'm afraid I can't test out this theory before I fade into the void.”
Zhe Huali's heart sank.
He still hadn't felt himself starting to fade, which meant that the ghost ship felt that Prince Qiu Ming's strength was above his. That was why Prince Qiu Ming was weakened by the ghost ship.
”I don't dare sever my own cultivation because I'm afraid I would die at the hands of others. Therefore, I placed all other matters aside and came to find both of you.”
Prince Qiu Ming said with a smile, ”The reason I came down to the lower bound is to get rid of Overlord Body Qin and the rest of the reformers, to eradicate the threat when it is still budding. Zhe Huali, you belong to the Spirit Elite Guards of the celestial heavens, and I'm a prince of the celestial heavens. You are my subordinate, so you know what you should do. After I get rid of Overlord Body Qin, I will sever my own cultivation, and you shall fade into the void. I'll live and solve the ghost ship, and you will still have a chance at survival.”
Zhe Huali was silent, and he suddenly shook his head. ”I don't believe in you, I only believe in my knife.”
He lifted his head and looked at Prince Qiu Ming. ”I walk my own path, I cultivate by myself, and my life was given to me by my parents, not by the prince. Even though I belong to the Spirit Elite Guards, I'm not a lowly life. I need to hold the life my parents gave me in my own grasp, and I can't hand it over to anyone else.”
Prince Qiu Ming frowned slightly and said, ”My method is simple, to get rid of all the other unchanging constants. When only I'm left, I will end my own life.”
Zhe Huali looked at him with an astonished gaze.
Prince Qiu Ming said, ”When this ship no longer has any unchanging constants, the stability of the divine art will drop to the lowest point, and the divine art will crumble. As long as the divine art crumbles, we will be able to return to our years, and none of us will need to die. Don't worry, I'm confident that I can kill the strong practitioners from the rest of the thirty-five years!”
He was rather conceited and said, ”You have learned from Luo Wushuang and Fu Riluo and have entered the Knife Dao. However, what you learned are all unorthodox methods.”
Zhe Huali frowned.
Prince Qiu Ming said, ”I learned the Emperor's Throne techniques of the celestial heavens, and we are personally taught by the heavenly teachers in the celestial heavens. Numerous people underestimate the disciples of the royal family and think that we are hedonistic sons, but this is absurd. There are numerous princes, and if we want to stand out among our peers, we need to work harder than anyone else. Otherwise, a prince would just be a featherless phoenix, and that is inferior to a hen dragon! Furthermore, there is internal strife in the royal family, and they have a lot of methods, so the dangers I've met in my life are no less than you.”
Zhe Huali felt deep veneration and said solemnly, ”Prince is tasked with an important task, so you must have slaughtered your way out from tens of thousands of princes.”
Prince Qiu Ming smiled and asked, ”In that case, Zhe Huali, are you going to follow me?”
”No.”
Zhe Huali said indifferently, ”Even if I admire you, I won't pledge my loyalty to you, and I won't believe you. I only trust my knife, I only pledge my loyalty to my knife.”
”Why do you peasants who rise to power always like to be conceited and contemptuous?”
Prince Qiu Ming sighed. ”I'm most annoyed by people like you, sticking your nose up in the air just because you are a little capable. You think you are so remarkable, but you don't know that I was born into a better family than you, that I'm more hardworking than you, and that my abilities are much higher than yours. However, despite all that, and despite me being here and trying to talk nice to you, you still remain so arrogant and conceited.”
”That's because...”
Zhe Huali pulled out his knife and rushed at him. He raised the demon knife high up, and knife light filled the sky. The knife qi was like a long rainbow as he roared, ”When you were born, you had the position and glory, you had the achievements that we might not be able to get even if we struggle for several hundred years!”
His knife skill was faster and faster. His knife contained his responsibility, his hard work, and his unflinching righteousness!
”You think it's natural to be born into a royal family, but to us, it's something that's out of reach!
”You feel that we are arrogant and conceited, but you don't know how many peasants died and how many bones were stepped on to walk to where we are today!
”You think you are very hardworking, but you don't know the hard work every one of us has put in. We also had to step on the corpses of friends and foes just to reach where we are today!
”To follow you, to help you become one of the unchanging constants?”
Zhe Huali's demon knife became frantic, and knife light poured out like mercury to become his brush and ink. It allowed him to write out his emotions to his heart's content.
”If I give up and follow you, how am I going to face the friends who died beside me, how am I going to answer to those who died under my knife?”
He laughed loudly and executed his Great Knife of Long Dao. ”The descendants of Celestial Emperor naturally have a higher starting point the moment they are born, how is that natural? Why can't they die?”
Prince Qiu Ming's sword light welcomed his knife, and he said with a smile, ”I heard that people who enter the Knife Dao all have unique heroism. It's a pity I was born noble, and this is something I can't avoid. However, even if I was born a peasant like you, I would also be able to rise up and achieve meteoric success! It's not confidence, it's...”
His sword light suddenly burst forth, and it was like countless silver needles weaving rapidly. Every silver needle countered every knife light from Zhe Huali precisely, and they blocked all the knife light.
There was no sword in Prince Qiu Ming's hand, and his body suddenly trembled. Forty-nine Heavenly Dao appeared behind his back, and he pushed forward. A terrifying divine art burst forth, and overwhelming power pushed towards Zhe Huali's demon knife!
The palace halls in the camp broke down into pieces and crumbled under the power of his divine art!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Zhe Huali grunted and coughed up blood. He executed the second form of his demon knife to slash apart the Heavenly Dao.
Chi, chi, chi.
Silver needles pierced through the front of his chest and came out from his back, splattering blood in all directions.
Prince Qiu Ming's body shook, and the apparition of a devil god with a bull's horns, a tiger's face, a human body, and a bull's tail appeared and struck out with a punch. Rolling Youdu devil qi transformed into a divine art of the devil path, and a huge fist with countless silver needles smashed into Zhe Huali's body. It overwhelmed Zhe Huali and smashed him into the palace hall that was in front of Qin Mu.
Half of the palace hall was crushed by his punch.
