CapĂtulo 1963: Chapter 1962: White Emperor, Request for Aid
The first person Xu Zimei beheaded was Massacre Venerable.
His blood blade was snapped in two by two fingers, and without the blade, his fighting power greatly diminished.
Therefore, when the torrent of blade flow came rolling in, Massacre Venerable wanted to resist, but the Blade Qi directly pierced through his brow, shattering his Divine Soul.
As the saying goes, one who kills will always be killed.
Next was Su Quan of the Qiankun Sect.
He wielded two large hammers, fighting and fleeing at the same time.
No one knew what kind of material the hammers were made of, they not only struck with astonishing power.
The momentum was massive, and the defense was formidable.
Several strands of Blade Qi were annihilated by them.
However, when Tyrant Shadow truly descended, the momentum surpassed normal Blade Qi by far.
Tyrant Shadow cut through iron like mud, directly slicing the large hammers in half, the bladeâs force undiminished, cleaving Su Quan in two as well.
Next was the purple-dressed woman from Blood Crow Valley.
She was the fastest, seeing the situation becoming unstable and her companions unable to rival Xu Zimei, she directly summoned blood crows and flew into the sky.
Xu Zimeiâs blade first cleaved the blood crows.
The blood crows were directly blasted apart by the Blade Qi, and the blood turned into a rain of blood, exploding in all directions.
The Firmament was dyed blood-red.
The purple-dressed woman wanted to escape by stepping into the air, but the Blade Qi was faster.
The Blade Qi annihilated the void, directly decapitating her, her body falling from the void.
Ultimately, only Wenren Xue of All-Heaven Academy was left.
His gaze was filled with horror, his aura already in disarray.
He looked into the distant void and shouted, âTeacher, save me.â
Unfortunately, as his voice fell, there was no response.
Xu Zimeiâs Tyrant Shadow had already descended.
Despite Wenren Xueâs desperate resistance, it was all in vain.
When Tyrant Shadow was lifted, Wenren Xueâs body was entirely gone.
In several streets away, an elder of All-Heaven Academy was walking with a group of students including Song Changâan.
The elder sighed lightly.
âYears of cultivation wasted, truly pitiful!â
He was the teacher mentioned by Wenren Xue.
He could also sense the death of Wenren Xue, yet he did not appear.
Firstly, he understood Xu Zimeiâs strength, even if he showed up, he couldnât save anyone, perhaps even getting himself killed.
Secondly, the reputation of the Nine Great Sovereignsâ powerful forces might mean nothing to Xu Zimei.
Even if you belonged to the Nine Great Sovereignsâ forces, Xu Zimei still wouldnât hesitate to kill.
The most terrifying part is, he wasnât just killing one, but had offended several major forces altogether.
First, he killed those of the Acacia Cult, then others from Three Thousand Islands, All-Heaven Academy, Blood Crow Valley, and Qiankun Sect.
Heâs likely already reached a point of nowhere to run.
Now in Victory City, there arenât many strong individuals of the Nine Great Sovereigns sitting in command, so Xu Zimei can roam freely for a while longer.
Once the Nine Great Sovereigns receive the news and the true experts arrive,
it might well be doomsday for him.
âYoung people really are too impetuous,â the elder sighed.
Beside him, Song Changâan quickly said, âTeacher, whatâs wrong?
Being impetuous is part of being young, isnât it?â
âYou donât understand, when venturing out, you must always maintain a humble attitude. Understood?â the elder admonished.
âGot it,â Song Changâan and the others nodded, but clearly didnât take it seriously.
After all, people like Xu Zimei are few.
Most people still fear the reputation of the Nine Great Sovereignsâ forces.
âOne of your seniors has died, although his strength was inadequate, us members of All-Heaven Academy cannot just die so helplessly,â the elder continued.
âThe treacherous rogue is fierce, we canât let him be alerted.
But if we notify All-Heaven Academy now, itâll take at least three days to arrive, we must act swiftly to prevent his escape.â
âTeacher, are you sure you can defeat him?â Song Changâan couldnât help but ask.
âI canât, but there is an old friend of mine in Victory City, I guess I owe him a favor,â the elder replied.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
It wasnât just Wenren Xueâs death that enraged him, but also the Empressâs legacy; who in the world could remain calm?
If one obtains the legacy, their future would be bright, even if they couldnât achieve what the Empress did, they could still roam with pride.
Thinking of this, the elder couldnât help but quicken his pace to find his old friend.
No one could refuse the Empressâs legacy.
âŠâŠ
Within the battlefield,
Xu Zimei put away Tyrant Shadow.
Itâs no exaggeration to say that killing these people was as easy as reaching into a bag, like slaughtering chickens and dogs.
So he didnât exert much effort at all.
As for the Nine Great Sovereignsâ forces seeking revenge, thatâs to be left to fate.
He came here to obtain the Empressâs legacy, the second of the Three Corpses had already shown promise.
He also quietly spread the news of the Mountains and Rivers Society Diagramâs emergence through the Shadow Sectâs hand.
Other matters werenât his concern.
Xu Zimei planned to inspect a few more relics, then head to the chaotic lands to find the Dark Overlordâs Soul.
While Xu Zimei was battling, Xin Laowu had already found a place to hide.
Now seeing the battle concluded, Xin Laowu hurriedly came forward with a fawning smile.
âMy lord is truly invincible!â
âThese Nine Great Sovereignsâ forces are nothing,â Xu Zimei shook his head.
âThey only fool some weaklings.â
âTo people like us, the Nine Great Sovereignsâ forces are the heavens,â Xin Laowu smiled bitterly.
Inquiring, âWhere does the lord wish to go next?â
âWhy donât you recommend a place,â Xu Zimei said.
Xin Laowu thought long and hard, and finally his eyes lit up.
He smiled, âI do have a good destination in mind, though itâs a bit dangerous, it depends on whether youâre willing.â
âHas the lord heard of the White Emperor?â
âWhoâs that?â Xu Zimei shook his head.
âThe Empressâs foremost unrivaled warrior,â Xin Laowu explained seriously.
âThe world knows, the Empress is unparalleled for eternity.
Not only was she invincible herself.
Her subordinates, the invincible ones, were as numerous as fish crossing the river, countless.
Any one of them could dominate the Nine Domains.
But who among them was stronger was never determined.â
âOnly the White Emperor is recognized as the foremost beneath the Empress, and everyone acknowledged it willingly.â
âSeems you know quite a bit,â Xu Zimei remarked in surprise.
Even Xu Zimei didnât know so much about matters concerning the Empress.
Xin Laowu chuckled.
Said, âIf the lord went elsewhere, perhaps not much would be known.
But this Victory City was built by the Empress, her residence.
The entire city is filled with tales of the Empress.
Even if you didnât want to know, it would be difficult not to!â
âTell me about the White Emperor,â Xu Zimei inquired.
âUnlike the Empress, apart from the Remorse Cliff, the Empress left almost nothing behind.
But the White Emperor truly left evidence of existence.â
