734 Imminent Death (1/2)
Liang Canghai trained his gaze at Ling Xiaozui for a brief moment before shifting it to Dugu Chou and finally at Gu Chaliang. A sense of extreme hatred burned in his orbs. He sucked in a deep breath and said, ”We'll have to requite the great favor you three have provided before we can talk about my death.”
”How can it be just the three of us? There's obviously four! Have you forgotten that Feng Xiange was the biggest culprit behind your lethal defeat back then? He was the one who exerted the most force in that battle. If what we did was a huge favor, what about him? How grateful and teary you must be when bowing to him?” Gu Chaliang sneered.
Liang Canghai was unaffected as he replied with a cold smile, ”Brother Gu, we don't speak between the lines when all of us know the truth. What matter is it to me if I can see you trying to provoke my anger in such a juvenile manner? Instead of me, why don't we talk about how it feels like for the three of you to be led around the noses, like dogs being walked, here and there? What do you think about it? I believe that you must have understood, after this time, that one isn't triumphant all the time – the Unrivaled, the Unparalleled, they don't actually mean being unrivaled and unparalleled, do they?”
”So what if it has been turbulent? At the very least, we're still intact up to now. On the other hand, can the Four Seasons Tower say the same? How ludicrously arrogant!” Dugu Chou answered coldly.
With a chortle, Liang Canghai replied, ”So what if we can't? After all, we've actually played out the two Unrivaled Experts Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou, as well as the so-called divine oracle Heaven's Inquisition – not only once, at that. At the very least, we think it's worth it!”
He guffawed, extremely presumptuous, and said, ”It's so very worth it!”
Dugu Chou's hand slowly went to the grip of his sword. The rage within him had come to a boiling point. The sword light flickered in his eyes, his sword intent radiating from him in waves of ice.
Gu Chaliang coughed. ”Liang Canghai, you managed to avoid death and prolong your life despite being held in a fatal grip that day. It says a lot about your luck. However, seeing as to how you've come here in your original appearance today, the itch has thrilled me to see your prophecy. Are you interested to have a listen?”
Liang Canghai replied with a scoff, ”Could Heaven's Inquisition have seen some huge change in the course of destiny? However, why have I also heard that the oracle of Heaven's Inquisition isn't allowed to disclose his knowledge? If it could be announced so easily, what prophecy could come out of it?”
”Heaven's will isn't disclosable – it is a fortune teller's taboo, for sure. Still, there's an exception to this; when the target is already being illuminated by the star of death, when death is imminent and it can't be helped whether the oracle has spoken or not. That will have nothing to do with disclosing heaven's will then. You are in such a threat now. This will be where you will fall; furthermore, today is the day when you, Liang Canghai, will return to the creator!” Gu Chaliang laughed.
Liang Canghai cackled as well. ”A threat? This is where I fall? Return to the creator? A threat, just from the three of you?”
Gu Chaliang was still laughing, shaking his head to answer only after a while, ”All of us intend to take your life, but it's destined that it isn't any one of us who kills you. Don't you worry though, you're sure to die today!”
Liang Canghai sneered. ”Brilliant! Gu Chaliang, I'd love to see how your oracle comes true, and who, other than the three of you, dares to make a move against me.”
Before his words could even echo in the air, he spun around and shot up. A glint flew from his hands and it instantly turned into a shocking bolt laced with a piercing shriek, coming down with formidable force.
Liang Canghai's target was apparently the Residence of Nine Supremes that lay beneath them!
It was visible to Ling Xiaozui and the other two men that what Liang Canghai used was not the ruler he normally wielded, but a titanic steel hammer that looked like it weighed at least several thousand catties!
Truthfully, with the level of their abilities, it was a piece of cake to move things that weighed a few thousand or even several dozen thousand catties of weight. However, famed experts still cared about their reputation and proficient cultivators could infuse mystical Qi into any plant or natural object to turn them into lethal instruments of death. Rare was the one who resorted to using such massive weapons!
