Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 537 The Battle Achievements of the Blackhead Duck
Chen Pingping gasped heavily, his face expressionless.
Yue Wuxia returned to his side once again, saying pitifully, "Pingping, do you still have the strength to revive the Divine Weapon?"
"..."
"I forgot to kill the most important person earlier."
"..."
"You wouldn’t blame your big brother, would you?"
"Big brother, you should go!" Chen Pingping said feebly.
Could you please stay away from me?
But how could Yue Wuxia leave?
There were strong enemies before and behind them. To their left, three prodigies were locked in a fierce battle. To their right lay an endless mountain range, shrouded in a bizarre atmosphere.
Where could she go?
Yue Wuxia’s gaze firmed. "No, your big brother won’t abandon you."
I’m begging you, just abandon me!
Chen Pingping was on the verge of tears and desperately wanted to say, "They’re after you! If you leave, I’ll be safe!"
"Big brother will face life and death with you," she said through clenched teeth. As she spoke, her gaze swept around, and she suddenly noticed the Blackhead Duck, which had been observing the battle.
An idea instantly formed in her mind.
Before Chen Pingping could utter a sound, she scooped him up and dashed towards the place where the Great Emperor Dharma was manifesting.
Strangely enough, they entered the area unimpeded.
The crowd looked on in shock.
Even the Blackhead Duck, already inside, paused for a moment, staring intently at Yue Wuxia. "Young lass, His Eminence feels that you look very familiar."
Yue Wuxia rolled her eyes, having no desire to engage with this troublemaker.
The Blackhead Duck strode over. "I remember now! You’re the White Emperor’s daughter!"
Indeed...
Chen Pingping finally learned the truth; his guess had been correct. From the moment Yue Wuxia had produced the Emperor Weapon, he had realized that this girl’s background was extraordinarily complex.
Furthermore, she had previously mentioned coming from Monster Emperor City.
The White Emperor, huh?
Chen Pingping quietly focused on recovering, saying nothing.
"You’re so annoying," Yue Wuxia glared at it.
HEH HEH...
Upon recognizing her, the Blackhead Duck grew quite animated. "Has your mother passed? Where is she buried?"
Yue Wuxia: "???"
"Let me be clear, His Eminence has absolutely no interest in your mother’s Emperor’s Body. His Eminence merely wishes to challenge the arrangements she left behind," it declared, craning its neck proudly.
HA HA!
Yue Wuxia also laughed. "Fine! When I return, I’ll be sure to tell Mother all about this."
At this, it was the Blackhead Duck’s turn to panic.
She’s still alive?
That was careless.
It glanced at Chen Pingping nearby and said shamelessly, "Human child, His Eminence observes that your bone structure is remarkable—excellent material for cultivation. Thus, I wish to take you as my Disciple. Are you willing?"
The more it observed Chen Pingping, the more alarmed it became.
He’s no ordinary kid.
This boy, he’s truly extraordinary.
From the moment Dugu Qingfeng had placed the ancient scroll into Chen Pingping’s hands, it had realized this young man was far from ordinary.
It was well known that members of the Dugu Lineage were exceedingly proud. Emperor Sons, Divine Sons, those with Ancient Divine Bodies—they paid them no heed.
Yet, Dugu Qingfeng clearly valued this young man greatly, not only sending the guiding ancient scroll but also drawing his sword for Chen Pingping’s sake.
Later, when Yue Wuxia, daughter of the White Emperor, revived the Emperor Weapon, it had covertly watched Chen Pingping. The power within him seemed boundless, actually capable of sustaining the Emperor Weapon to such a degree.
Remarkable.
This child would undoubtedly become a dragon among men, a phoenix among women.
Yue Wuxia rolled her eyes. "Pingping, ignore it. This fellow is a con artist. It’s taken countless Disciples, and it scammed every single one of them to their deaths."
The Blackhead Duck huffed indignantly, "You wretched girl, aren’t your words a bit too wicked? Most of my Disciples have practically achieved invincibility! You just haven’t seen them, so don’t you dare slander His Eminence by calling me inept!"
PAH!
Yue Wuxia glared at it. "You dare claim even one has set foot on the path to invincibility? And wasn’t instead scammed to their death by you?"
The Blackhead Duck’s face flushed. "Of course, I dare!"
「Outside the Dharma.」
The prodigies who had arrived with murderous intent were all dumbfounded.
Those two had fled into that place, and they couldn’t make a move. What now?
The Emperor Mausoleum was beneath their feet, the ancient scroll was on Chen Pingping, and beside him was a young girl wielding an Emperor Weapon. She was merely weakened for now; what if she recovered later?
The mere thought made their scalps tingle.
Over there was Dugu Qingfeng, Sound, and another enigmatic prodigy from an Ancient City.
Those three were formidable, their cultivation at the Saint Realm. If they unleashed their full power, along with their numerous powerful trump cards, they could contend with cultivators even at the fifth layer of the Saint Realm.
In contrast, their group’s average cultivation was, at best, the eighth layer of the Lord Realm. The disparity was immense.
The Great Prince of the Ancient Country could barely contend with Saint Realm cultivators. Qin Meng’s combat prowess was comparable to the second layer of the Saint Realm, as was that of the Demon cultivator Zhu Menting. Several other top-tier prodigies were similarly matched.
If they joined forces, they might have a slim chance to compete.
But would they form an alliance? It would be difficult.
Qin Meng stared at Yue Wuxia for a long time before shifting his gaze to Chen Pingping, recalling the scene of Dugu Qingfeng delivering the ancient scroll.
This person is definitely not simple.
But he was fearless.
He wanted that ancient scroll; he had traveled a great distance for this very purpose.
Of course, nearly all the top prodigies desired it...
However, the place where the Great Emperor Dharma manifested was too bizarre. No one dared to act rashly and could only watch the battle from the sidelines.
HEH HEH!
Chen Pingping sized up Blackhead Duck, a grin spreading across his face. "How about you stick with me?" he asked.
Although it hasn’t been registered by my System, this Blackhead Duck isn’t bad. It has at least one useful skill, making it worth recruiting.
Beside him, Yue Wuxia heard this and froze for a moment, then stared at Chen Pingping in utter disbelief.
What is he doing?
He actually wants to subdue Blackhead Duck?
Has he gone mad?
This duck might be unscrupulous and unreliable, but its power was undeniable. It was proficient in various strange Secret Techniques, and even a true Great Emperor would find it a handful.
History was not without Great Emperors who had attempted to tame this duck, but in the end, most were scammed to their deaths by it.
Yue Wuxia recalled a powerful Demon Emperor who had fallen because of the Blackhead Duck. He had babbled incessantly about cultivating some Taigu art, evolving Supreme Skills, transcending the Heavenly Dao, and reaching the legendary other shore.
The Blackhead Duck’s famous quote was on the Demon Emperor’s lips even as he died: "My fate is mine to command, not the heavens’."
Ultimately, the Demon Emperor was struck down and killed by the great catastrophe.
When the news spread, it shocked the entire Demon Race.
Every member of the Demon Race was utterly horrified.
When they later entered the site of the Demon Emperor’s catastrophe, only ruins remained—and the Blackhead Duck, standing with its hands clasped behind its back.
At that time, it stood there for a long while before saying, "Among all my Disciples, you are the weakest."
If the Demon Emperor were still alive, he’d probably have sobered up, had a sudden realization, and then slapped it to death. He had achieved Tao Verification, yet he supposedly couldn’t compare to your worthless Disciples! You really know how to blow your own trumpet!
The descendants of the Demon Emperor were filled with rage. Reviving an Emperor Weapon, they charged at it.
While the Demon Emperor was alive, he had been completely taken in by Blackhead Duck’s schemes. If anyone so much as uttered a word against the duck, the Demon Emperor would show his displeasure, so no one dared to speak out.
Now, with the Demon Emperor scammed to death by the Blackhead Duck, the fury in their hearts blazed. They were determined to eliminate this detestable duck, no matter the cost.
Unfortunately, Blackhead Duck’s cultivation methods were bizarre, and it wasn’t so easily killed!
Even with a revived Emperor Weapon, it could depart with ease...
Yue Wuxia cautioned, "Pingping, don’t bother with it."
