Human Clan Defender-Chapter 603 - s 5 to 8: Blade Path Powerhouse, Myriad Tribulations True Body (Four-in-One, Seeking Monthly Pass)
In the Rule Long River.
As the golden light submerged, the Heavens' Rules seemed to become infuriated, stirring up tremendous waves. Ultimately, the blockades laid out by those entities were completely destroyed. Moreover, tainted by some of the river water, much of the divine light shattered. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
At the same time, the imprisoned Annihilation Rule vanished instantly within the Rule Long River. Capturing it again was no longer possible.
Upon witnessing this, the entity shrouded in golden divine light spoke, its voice somewhat deep, "It's a pity he actually survived. I just saw a flash of blade light. If I'm not mistaken, the being that caused the Annihilation Rule to manifest is a Blade Path Powerhouse. But with the Annihilation Rule's protection, it is now impossible for us to trace and locate this being."
Given my own status, to think I failed to eliminate the other party... it's rather embarrassing. If no other entities had been present, it might have been excusable. But now, with so many watching, it's a loss of face.
When its words faded, another entity spoke, "Among the Heavens, quite a few beings practice the Blade Path. If it is a Blade Path Powerhouse, finding them will not be so easy."
"Hmph, this person follows the Human Clan's system of a bygone era, which is vastly different from our Divine Path. The Heavens may be vast, but if we truly want to find a being, he might not have anywhere to hide."
"That may be true."
The entity surrounded by golden divine light nodded slightly.
Afterward, the Rule Long River fell into silence. A while later, the entities emitting terrifying auras disappeared abruptly, as if they had never been there. Only the ripples on the river water remained, hinting at what had just transpired.
「In the Great Qin Capital.」
The commotion triggered by Shen Changqing's confrontation with that mysterious entity had caught the attention of all the powerhouses in the entire capital.
"What was that thing!"
Gu Xing, dressed in imperial robes, couldn't help but feel startled as he recalled the scene. He was now Emperor Qin, a position considered to be above tens of thousands. However, the golden light that had fallen just moments ago made him feel as insignificant as an ant.
What Emperor Qin? What 'above tens of thousands'? In the face of such power, all of that is meaningless.
If Shen Changqing hadn't intercepted that golden light, I suspect the entire Capital City would have been reduced to ashes.
At this thought, his chest heaved violently. His somewhat inflated ego, developed after becoming Emperor Qin, instantly deflated.
So what if I'm Emperor Qin? This is a world for the strong. If one lacks the strength to match one's position, even ruling the world is useless.
Taking a few deep breaths, Gu Xing looked at the eunuch serving by his side. "Go inquire about the situation at the Demon-Subduing Division. By the way, tell Defender Shen that the Imperial Family has abundant resources. If he needs anything, he should just ask."
"Yes!"
The eunuch bowed deeply and withdrew.
Watching him leave, Gu Xing's heart finally settled a bit. He now realized just how secure Great Qin was with a powerhouse like Shen Changqing present.
Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how I might die.
Of course, the real reason Gu Xing felt reassured about Shen Changqing was that the latter seemed to genuinely lack interest in the throne. So much time had passed, yet he had made no moves and, according to rumors, remained in secluded cultivation within the Demon-Subduing Division.
Such a cultivation fanatic is clearly not likely to be obsessed with power. If that's the case, then he can be trusted.
Moreover, Shen Changqing was the one chosen by Gu Xuanji on his deathbed. Gu Xing knew his father rarely erred in judging people; that decision must have been made after careful consideration.
Hopefully, there won't be any more troubles!
He sighed deeply and put aside the issue for the time being.
「Within the Demon-Subduing Division.」
The experts there were also alarmed. Dongfang Zhao and Zhou Yuanzheng immediately rushed to Hidden Heart Pavilion. When they arrived, they only saw the shattered remnants of the Sky Strike and Shen Changqing already standing there.
"Defender Shen, what has happened?"
"What exactly was that golden light just now?"
Both asked urgently. Even Dongfang Zhao, who usually remained impassive, couldn't maintain his composure this time. He couldn't help it; the power that had appeared earlier was simply too terrifying. He hadn't felt this way even when facing the Ghost Saint.
Ants! In front of that power, I, the Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division, am no different from an ant!
Although Shen Changqing had intercepted that force, Dongfang Zhao knew very well that the one who launched that attack had merely struck from a distance; it could hardly be considered a true, committed strike.
If that entity had truly descended, no one in the Human Clan could have possibly resisted. Not even Shen Changqing. Such a threat... I cannot remain calm at all.
His vital energy and Divine Soul somewhat recovered, Shen Changqing said with a grave expression, "If I'm not mistaken, it might have been a Demon God from the Demon Evil Clan who took action. The Ghost Saint once claimed to be a Half-Step Demon God. Now that he has fallen in Luo'an Prefecture, the Demon Evil Clan might have already received the news. It's not impossible that they acted out of fury to avenge the Ghost Saint."
My reasoning seems sound.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Zhao and Zhou Yuanzheng both nodded slightly. Indeed, if a Demon God had taken action, that was a strong possibility. They had no understanding of how powerful a Demon God truly was.
