Book 14: Chapter 130

Lord

The legend that would go on to live for ages started from something minor, yet something that had to be mentioned.

In return for stopping him, this one shall forever pray for your blessings and erect your tablets. After he said that, Liaoliao palmed s.h.i.+tou and Gongsun Chu on the shoulders. The monk with a big hole in his shoulder and blood smeared around his mouth then sped off.

Liaoliao knew as well as anyone that he had zero hopes of escaping without s.h.i.+tou and Gongsun Chu holding off Tianhu. As the one with the lightest injuries and being the most advanced martial artist among the three of them, he had the best chance of escaping. While he couldnt use his seventh step to a.s.sa.s.sinate Emperor Yuansheng or kill Tianhu, it was good enough for him to make a clean escape. In the blink of an eye, he had entered the secret pa.s.sage and vanished without a trace in the next blink.

It wasnt difficult for Tianhu to chase down Liaoliao; however, he saw no need to hunt down Liaoliao once the latter had escaped into the secret pa.s.sage leading out of the city. If Tianhu were to just ignore the Fiends Genesis duo and closed the gap Liaoliao created, then itd have taken him no time at all to remove Liaoliaos head from his shoulders. Perhaps Tianhu chose not to give chase as itd take long enough for the Fiends Genesis duo to escape.

Liaoliao had developed his strength to an incredible level, but his fighting techniques werent spectacular, which was the reason he didnt fight Tianhu in close quarters. As s.h.i.+tou blocked the majority of Tianhus attacks in Liaoliaos place, he was hurt the worst. Though s.h.i.+tous blue flames intensified and he gained momentum with the pa.s.sage of time, the combination wasnt enough to get over the wall that was the gap in combat prowess. It wouldve been a painfully tall order for s.h.i.+tou to reach Tianhus level in his lifetime; he wouldve perished if Tianhu hit him with the intent to kill.

Mr. Jiang Chen. Knowing what the outcome of fighting Tianhu alone was, s.h.i.+tou turned to Gongsun Chu and gave a bitter smile. Take care.

Twenty years ago, s.h.i.+tou was a decisive and determined man. Twenty years later, he was still a decisive and determined man. He unwittingly sabotaged his teacher twenty years ago, but he still made up his mind to risk his life for the man he respected most despite having just come to his senses for the first time in twenty years. Gongsun Chu could hear and see, I will never forget what you have done for me in the last twenty years, from s.h.i.+tous smile.

As s.h.i.+tou headed into the scariest battle of his life, Gongsun Chu walked the other way for he couldnt waste the precious time s.h.i.+tou sacrificed his life in exchange for. There was no one around who couldve beaten Tianhu. s.h.i.+tou wouldve only been able to buy a small amount of time once Tianhu was ready to kill.

Even if they went back a hundred years ago, besides Li Wuming, Ming s.h.i.+yue and Gongsun Chu himself from back then, there was unlikely more than a handful of people throughout history who couldve defeated Tianhu. Gongsun Chu himself couldnt believe the imperial court would employ such a monster.

Ming Feizhen knows Tianhus true ident.i.ty. No, perhaps even he doesnt know. G.o.d? Theres only one person arrogant enough to call himself G.o.d. Perhaps him isnt the right definition. Is the imperial court out of their mind? Is Ye Yun crazy?

Gongsun Chu pieced it all together only a short while into his a.n.a.lysis and worked out why Ming Feizhen was unshakably confident. Even if s.h.i.+tou and his deaths were inevitable, he wasnt going to let their deaths be in vain. He had goals he had yet to accomplish.

Upon dragging his bloodied and battered body back to Taishu Hall, nothing had changed, except the twenty-four guards were flabbergasted at Gongsun Chus state.

Youre leading him here?! How sort of scoundrel are you?! exclaimed Ming Feizhen.

Hmph, you two know each other, dont you? Its time for you two to have a catch up.

Hes here!

s.h.i.+tous best efforts barely bought any time. There was no way to outrun Tianhu. That being said, what reason was there to run anymore?

Tianhu gave Gongsun Chu no attention. His gaze was fixed on the man locked in the chair. Although it required some extra help, Gongsun Chu was glad to see his plan had borne fruit. In saying that, he never expected Tianhu and Ming Feizhen to have such deep enmity between them.

Following a long staring contest, Tianhu whipped his hand, freeing Ming Feizhen of his restraints. Ming Feizhen let out a long sigh. What happened next remained incomprehensible to Gongsun Chu for the rest of his life.

The monster who crushed two Divine Realm adepts simultaneously dropped to his knees before the man resting his chin on his freed hand. Your subject, Zero, pays his respect, My Lord.
