Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 681: Success

The Dead Soldiers joined forces, besieging Nangong Zheng.

Any of these Dead Soldiers, taken individually, would absolutely stand out within the Supplementing Divine Temple.

They were originally geniuses who had sacrificed their future potential and even their lifespan, so how could their resulting strength not be formidable?

However, among the strong, there are always those who are stronger. Nangong Zheng, deformingly powerful, fought against eight alone without being overwhelmed, and even seemed to be gaining the upper hand.

However, being restrained by eight such masters, he could not achieve victory for the time being, which infuriated him immensely.

As self-confident as he was, being blocked by what he considered mere ants enraged him beyond measure.

"Die!" he exploded, booming, his Sword Qi weaving through the air, terrifyingly unstoppable.

Whistling sounds ensued, as the eight Dead Soldiers took the blows, the Sword Qi leaving trails of blood on their bodies.

After that massive attack, the faces of several Dead Soldiers were revealed as their masks were shattered, showing twisted visages.

Hiss, it was one thing for a single person to look like this, but something was decidedly wrong when all of them shared such features.

"It’s because they practiced such secret techniques that their entire being has been distorted."

"Thus, their faces turned so ugly, and their statures also became shorter."

Shi Hao thought to himself, frowning slightly.

This was too cruel.

Nangong Zheng, unsuccessful with one move, grew even more furious, his figure seeming to transform into an exceptional Divine Sword, slashing madly at the Dead Soldiers.

If he could maintain such an offensive, victory was merely a matter of time.

"Little Stone, we can’t afford to waste any more time," said the Purple Gold Rat.

Shi Hao nodded.

Once Nangong Zheng achieved victory, he would surely clear out the people here, and with his demonic abilities, who knew if he had some secret technique that could counter the astonishing gravity here?

So, he could hesitate no longer.

He quietly moved back until he was out of everyone’s sight, then he unfolded the Little Star Universe and ascended toward the sky.

Before long, he reached the top of the palace.

He walked across the palace ceiling and quickly returned to the area where they had been fighting.

However, whereas previously he had been on the ground, he was now in the air.

Below, the battle was still intense. Nangong Zheng was overwhelmingly strong and held the advantage, but victory was still some time away.

Everyone’s attention was on the battle; no one looked up to the sky.

Good.

Shi Hao took out a thread, pretending to stick it to the ceiling, then, holding this thread, he descended.

Despite the strong gravity, the thread was unaffected. A bit of stickiness was enough to secure it, while Shi Hao himself, with the Little Star Universe unfolded, was immune to all laws.

It was just for show. Unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want people to know he could fly or even ignore the gravity here.

It was essential to conceal one’s skills; that was how to truly surprise people.

"Little Stone, you truly capture my heart!" praised the Purple Gold Rat.

"Do you also want to grant me a daughter in marriage?" Shi Hao didn’t mind bantering with it.

"If I had a daughter, I definitely... would never let you marry her!" the Purple Gold Rat suddenly changed its tone, "That would be like being sold out by you and still helping you count the money."

"Heh," Shi Hao responded pointedly, "your daughter’s mother must have already been sold by you, right?"

During their conversation, he had reached just above the Mother of Gold, close enough to reach out and grab the treasure.

Just then, Nangong Zheng suddenly looked up sharply.

He was suddenly struck by a whim and felt a surge of thrill, but his instincts as a Martial Artist made him look up anyway.

The result—damn!

How could this be possible?

How did the kid get up there?

Although it was just a glance, Nangong Zheng saw clearly that there was a thread suspending Shi Hao.

Sss, this must be a treasure; otherwise, how could it support Shi Hao’s weight?

You should know, under such gravity, Shi Hao’s weight must exceed that of a mountain.

At that moment, he could no longer care about those eight Dead Soldiers and immediately let out a long howl, leaping towards the Mother of Gold.

However, only halfway through his leap, it was as if an invisible hand brutally dragged him down, his body plunged rapidly, and smack, he slammed heavily onto the ground, forming a large ’X’ shape with his body.

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

Previously so proud, Nangong Zheng was now in such a sorry state, how could it not provoke hearty laughter?

That’s what you get for being so arrogant and proud, happy now?

Yet, they were also looking at Shi Hao suspended in mid-air, all sighing in their hearts, wondering why they hadn’t thought of such a good idea themselves. It would have been smarter to come down from the sky rather than trying to jump up from the ground, wouldn’t it have been effortless?

But they didn’t consider, how would they reach the top of the palace themselves?

Although the gravity became normal once away from the Mother of Gold, the palace was incredibly tall, how could they climb to the top?

Shi Hao reached out, grabbed the Mother of Gold, and casually stowed it into the Immortal Abode, then, he retraced his steps to the roof of the palace and quickly left.

Nangong Zheng struggled to raise his head and caught a glimpse of Shi Hao, his expression immensely complex.

His status was so noble, yet he had been outwitted by an ant, how could he bear such humiliation?

He must find this guy, retrieve the Mother of Gold, and kill Shi Hao.

Daring to humiliate him to his face, he would definitely not let Shi Hao off.

However, he had to leave this place first. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Although the Mother of Gold had been taken, the environmental impact had not disappeared immediately. Nangong Zheng struggled to his feet, like a baby learning to walk, and staggered a few steps before finally exiting the area affected by the heavy gravity.

He immediately regained normalcy, took a deep breath, his entire being exuding a bone-chilling aura.

"No matter who you are, no matter where you’ve escaped to, I will find you and kill you," he clenched his fist, fuming with rage for the first time.

Such "bold words" he could only say to himself, since the others had already chased after Shi Hao.

—They didn’t know what the Mother of Gold was, but it was definitely a super treasure.

Therefore, no one cared about Nangong Zheng; they all ran after Shi Hao below.

Undoubtedly, this made Nangong Zheng even angrier—his status was so noble, yet not a single person cared about him?

These ants, they really deserve to die, to die!

His eyes were frosty, and now, he was truly enraged, no matter which ant he encountered, he was determined to kill them!

...

Shi Hao was crawling on the roof of the palace, and below, everyone was in pursuit, all waiting for Shi Hao to come down.

You can’t always crawl up there, can you?

Bang!

Just at that moment, an animal covered in black aura appeared, not big, like a normal water buffalo, and within the swirling black aura, a pale white skeleton could faintly be seen.

Instantly, everyone felt a strong discomfort.

They looked towards the Bone Beast, their faces showing a look of disgust.
