Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 510 - 514: Do You Want to Kill Me?
"Do you want to kill me?"
After a moment of silence, Wang Junze raised his head and looked at Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea, asking calmly.
"Brother Ye, why ask when you already know the answer."
Shaking his head, Yang Hong slowly began to speak, "I said that we are friends, but... I have a blood feud with Qu Lishang for killing my master. Since I’ve run into him, I can’t just turn a blind eye."
As he spoke, Yang Hong slightly lifted his hand, and a large black hand condensed in the void, clearly indicating his identity.
Daluo Demon Hand!
The Daluo Demon Venerable had died at Qu Lishang’s hands years ago, and though many years had passed, Yang Hong was still the heir of the Daluo Demon Venerable.
"Ye Piaoling, you have done your best!"
Looking at Wang Junze, the Maiden of the Sea also spoke up, "You can go, as long as you leave here... no one will make things difficult for you."
"Friends!"
Repeating the word, Wang Junze’s face showed a hint of a sneer as he retorted, "Is this what you call friends?"
"Our friend is the Demon Cultivator Ye Piaoling, not Wang Junze of the Profound Moon Sword Sect."
After a moment of silence, Yang Hong spoke again, "If you are Ye Piaoling, you shouldn’t be blocking our way."
Though his words seemed a bit roundabout, the meaning was unmistakably clear.
Demon cultivators prioritize profit just like before when they fought alongside Wang Junze to seize the Other Shore Flower or when they ventured into the Dragon Palace Ruins together. They were friends, but in the face of great gain, each must rely on their own means.
If Wang Junze is Ye Piaoling, then the thought should be on how to join forces to kill Qu Lishang and seize the treasures on him!
However, if Wang Junze wants to stop them, then he is no longer Ye Piaoling, but Wang Junze of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, and naturally no longer a friend.
Hearing this, Wang Junze fell silent once more.
In a way, their words weren’t exactly wrong since, from the beginning, he never told Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea that he was Wang Junze. He was the one who hid his identity, so now he couldn’t blame them for changing their stance!
But... many things are actually clear to everyone.
Ultimately, it’s just a matter of interests!
Earlier, Qu Lishang had activated the Great Nether Mirror, sealing the Forbidden Path, which let everyone witness the power of the Great Nether Mirror. Such a treasure is enough to tempt anyone.
If Qu Lishang were still at his peak, no one would dare to covet the Great Nether Mirror, but it’s clear to everyone that now Qu Lishang is incapable of protecting himself. If they join forces to break the defense of the Great Nether Mirror, they can kill Qu Lishang and seize it.
"Can you take away the Great Nether Mirror?"
Looking at them, Wang Junze slowly opened his mouth and said, "Even if you kill Master Qu, outside, there’s still the Night Spirit Demon Venerable and Monk Benyin... on what grounds do you think you can take away the Great Nether Mirror in front of them?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
With a sigh, Yang Hong finally answered seriously, "Ye Piaoling, the Nether Sea is not limited to just one Saint Realm Powerhouse, the Night Spirit Demon Venerable!"
These words suddenly made Wang Junze’s heart sink!
Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea have a Saint Realm Powerhouse backing them.
Though they have always seemed like loose cultivators living in the Nether Sea, rarely even going to Netherworld City, it is impossible to survive in a place like the Nether Sea without any support!
Especially when Wang Junze wanted to leave the Nether Sea back then, the two dared to cooperate with him to play tricks on the Night Spirit Demon Venerable.
It sounds reckless, but in reality, it was relying on support.
This is the truth of everything!
Just like Wang Junze didn’t realize the Blood Covenant could be broken, neither did he realize that the two have a Saint Realm Powerhouse behind them. The naive one was him, not others.
From the start, he should have known that this trip to the Nether Sea was much more dangerous than when he defeated Dugu Feng.
Shaking his head, Wang Junze once again showed a hint of determination in his eyes, speaking seriously, "I don’t care if you really have other Saint Realm Powerhouses behind you, but at least... now, here, it’s only you!"
With his Sword Edge slightly raised, Wang Junze said calmly, "I am here, and whoever wants to kill Master Qu must step over my dead body first!"
At this moment, Wang Junze also appeared immensely determined!
For him, saving Qu Lishang is very important, worth risking his life.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Wang Junze is alone, and if you count Situ Haokong, the opposition has four people, even with the Great Nether Mirror sealing the Forbidden Path, it is too difficult to face four alone.
"None of you want to make a move? Then I will!"
With a cold laugh, Situ Haokong spoke again, "Wang Junze, I’ll kill you!"
Situ Haokong knows better than anyone that he is the most dangerous now, and only by forcing Wang Junze and Yang Hong to turn against each other does he have a chance of survival; otherwise, he would face the same fate as Lin Qiushui and Liu Daoyu!
Thus, he must make the first move to break the current deadlock!
In an instant, the Primordial Purple Gold Hammer suddenly transformed into a purple-gold beam of light, viciously striking towards Wang Junze!
During the recent clash, neither Situ Haokong nor Wang Junze had actually gone all out, but now, it immediately became a life-and-death struggle.
Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea still did not intervene, just watching quietly.
To them, Wang Junze and Situ Haokong both being gravely injured is the best outcome.
In this way, they wouldn’t have to directly attack Wang Junze and could still have the opportunity to kill Qu Lishang.
On the other hand, Huang Siyu’s eyes once again showed a hint of struggle.
Currently, she still holds the Elixir to suppress the Blood Covenant, and by consuming it, she can temporarily break free from the Blood Covenant’s constraints. Yet... for some reason, instinctively, she still feels a peculiar fear toward Wang Junze!
Although Wang Junze hasn’t asked her for help, in reality, this battle is also the final test for her!
If she doesn’t act, once Wang Junze wins, he will undoubtedly settle accounts with her!
However, if she helps Wang Junze... she would immediately face the siege of Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea.
Previously on Mirage Island, she had tried once before. Even though she could use the Path Domain, it was still difficult to overpower the opponents, not to mention being restrained by the power of the Great Nether Mirror, truly taking action... she might end up dead herself!
Life or death seems to be just a thought away!
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Huang Siyu’s mind.
Buzz!
The next moment, a brilliant light suddenly exploded, and countless hidden weapons rained down like a storm!
