The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 860 - 409: Betrayal! (Part 2)

He hoarsely said, "None of us anticipated this twist, but I think we should continue to cooperate. Killing that Qilin will be a unique and enormous reward for you and me."

Wan Rentu had no reason to refuse; his towering body exuded blood-red steam, resembling a lava monster.

Even when two Holy Land-level individuals join forces, they must exercise extreme caution when facing a noble from the Ancient God Clan.

Because in the howling sandstorm, the devil-like youth was already charging back with his girl in his arms.

One thousand meters, five hundred meters, two hundred meters.

Getting closer!

Jiang Chuge gripped the Iron Sword, its forested blade becoming scorching hot, and the faint sound of sword resonance echoed like rolling thunder, even slicing the desolate land, with the fierce sword marks being terrifyingly visible.

He raised the Iron Sword high, gathering sword momentum.

Wan Rentu took a deep breath, and the surging blood Qi condensed into a blood-colored battle axe.

Gu Jianlin leaped onto the ridge, the spirituality within him almost depleted, and his domain of the Ancient Divine Language had only ten seconds left to sustain. Before him stood two Holy Land-level powerhouses, their rank far surpassing his own.

He didn’t know how he could win.

But he believed in his teammates.

He also trusted that elder who always cared about him.

He just needed to do his part, and the rest was up to fate.

"Throw me!"

Tang Ling’s red hair fluttered as she shouted loudly.

Gu Jianlin forcefully tossed her, and she shot through the sky like a flying bird, her sword vibrating and buzzing!

At the moment when Jiang Chuge was about to strike, he suddenly turned around, the sword blade veering off course as it descended!

Clang!

The huge axe swung by Wan Rentu was forcibly stopped by the sword’s edge, just a hair’s breadth away from chopping off his head!

The strength contrast between the two sides became immediately apparent.

Wan Rentu’s blood-colored battle axe suddenly showed cracks.

Jiang Chuge’s Iron Sword, however, kept booming with sound.

"Indeed, the people of the Ether Association can’t be trusted."

Jiang Chuge said indifferently, "Unfortunately, you are not my match."

Wan Rentu grinned, "Sorry, this is a task entrusted to me by Old Chen."

With a bang, the towering giant was knocked back, a fierce sword mark appeared on his chest, and the gushing blood was like a flood breaking its dam, instantly staining the barren ground red.

Even among the Seventh Rank, there are differences.

He was neither a Heavenly Person nor an Evolver.

In a sense, the Order World led by the President indeed had some issues.

That is, the high-level combat power was exceptionally powerful to an outrageous degree, for the strength of Heavenly Persons was nearly invincible, but unfortunately, there were too few geniuses suitable for the Candle Light Law, unable to spread comprehensively to the mid and low levels.

At the same time, the You Ying Law was forbidden, leading to generally weak combat power in the mid and lower ranks.

Wan Rentu was a typical example.

Just as Jiang Chuge was about to turn around, his face changed slightly, and blood seeped from the corner of his lips.

Intense pain surged into his mind, as if his cranial nerves were breaking.

He realized he had been poisoned.

Yet he didn’t know who could have poisoned him, as his lifestyle was extremely cautious.

Cautious to the point that only a handful of people could get close to him.

Wait!

He suddenly realized, but it was too late.

Because an Ancient Blade had already pierced through his heart.

"Surprised?"

Jiang Ziyue hugged him from behind, slowly twisting the blade handle, as if trying to shred his heart to pieces.

Such an injury was very serious even for a high-level Evolver, and Jiang Chuge’s throat continuously spilled blood, his voice even being intermittent, "How dare you? The Jiang Family will no longer have a place for you, Father will cut you to shreds, and the Ether Association won’t accept a freak like you."

He was shockingly furious, "Your body carries the Jiang Family’s blood, and you dare to betray me..."

Jiang Ziyue was still smiling gently, "First, if you die, who would know I betrayed the Jiang Family? Second, after you die, the one to inherit your position should be me. Lastly, if we do a DNA test, we’d find that the blood we share is nothing special."

This smiling young man locked his brother with both hands, his gentle voice spoken through gritted teeth, "Someone once taught me, what’s important isn’t the blood you carry, but what you put your faith in."

"After all, I’m just a lowly illegitimate child."

He paused, "Certainly can’t compare to the noble elder brother!"

With a boom, there came the sound of Flying Swords tearing through the air.

A fierce golden Flying Sword sped forward, and the person wielding it was as sharp and severe as a hunting bird of prey!

Clang!

At the critical moment, Jiang Chuge actually swung his sword to block such a fierce attack.

At the same time, he saw who the newcomer was.

Ying Changsheng gripped the sword with both hands, the trembling blade exuding a magnificent Sword Qi, and he grinned slightly, "What an unexpected alliance, didn’t think I’d team up with someone from the Jiang Family one day."

In the real world, there were three oldest families: the Ji Family, the Jiang Family, and the Ying Family.

The three families looked down on each other.

Especially the newly prominent Ying Family, which never won in terms of historical prestige.

"I also never thought I’d cooperate with someone from the Ying Family."

Jiang Ziyue also bared his teeth, shouting, "You hid so well, I was thinking of ways to deal with you before, almost planted a bomb on your helicopter, maybe next time give a heads up?"

"Cut the nonsense."

Ying Changsheng also shouted, "I was just thinking of solving you by dragging you down for an ultimate self-destruction."

Without a doubt, both were members of the Shadow Department.

Ironically, neither knew the other’s identity.

Almost willing to cost anything to kill the other to complete their mission.

Boom!

Jiang Chuge roared to the sky, actually using terrifying brute force to forcefully push them away, the majestic Ancient God’s Breath surging, demonstrating signs of Primordial Return! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The Ancient Blade shattered, and the golden Flying Sword also snapped in response.

Jiang Ziyue let out a muffled groan, flashing like a ghost again, grabbing his left arm.

Ying Changsheng was no ordinary person either; he braced the ground with his hand to offset his inertia, dashing forward by using the Breathing Technique of the Boundary of No Distance, at the critical moment seizing his right arm, locking it backhandedly!

"Do it!"

Even with Jiang Chuge’s rank, he couldn’t break free for a moment.

Tang Ling descended as a Vermilion bird from the sky, landing lightly on his back, trying to swiftly decapitate him with the Extreme Thunder Great Sword, but fragments of swords on the ground suddenly attacked, trying to slit her throat.

Jiang Chuge was still struggling, even able to exert the Sword Control Technique.

Tang Ling, forced with no choice, had to use the Extreme Thunder Great Sword to deflect the attacking fragments, seizing a fleeting gap, and pierced it through his chest with one strike, the sound of the sword tearing through the body was so delightful.

She forcefully drove the Extreme Thunder into the enemy’s body, the blade jutting out, splashing scorching blood!

"Gu Jianlin!"

Tang Ling shouted.

Gu Jianlin sprinted forward, reaching into the Void to pull out a broken sword resembling a Cross scepter.

Jiang Chuge’s pitch-black eyes revealed a bloody hue, with what seemed like an ancient murderer roaring out from the depths of his pupils, the searing patterns on his body like they were about to tear him apart, the terrifying aura shooting skyward!

At the final moment, Gu Jianlin drove the broken Qilin Wedge into his chest!

The howling that echoed in the void abruptly ended.

Gu Jianlin’s Qilin Wedge vanished silently, replaced by a deep black hole.

At that moment, Jiang Chuge turned to stone like a sculpture, his chest like a massive crater blown open, with torrents of Ancient God’s Breath flooding out, faintly revealing a black jade-like bone being pulled out.

This was Gu Jianlin’s Qilin Authority.

— Devour!

The crystallization of the You Ying Law in Jiang Chuge’s body, the so-called Holy Corpse, was forcibly extracted!

"To help your man acquire the Holy Corpse, I really went all out."

Jiang Ziyue muttered at this hellish scene, "Sis, what kind of person did you fall in love with?"

Ying Changsheng quietly observed this horrifying scene, and softly said, "Unbelievable."

Because Jiang Chuge knelt on the ground like a sinner, with a dark void opened in his chest.

The devil-like youth, as if accepting his confession, casually took away his most important possession.

Tang Ling remained silent because she saw a black Qilin in those blazing golden eyes.
