The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 193: Courage

"Daring to attempt assassination on His Highness, such a crime is unforgivable!"

Evening Star shook his Evil Expelling Dust Brush and laughed, but his smile was so cold. Don’t be fooled by Evening Star’s usual pleasant demeanor when dealing with affairs; that’s only because he sees value in the other party. If he deems you unworthy, his aloofness certainly isn’t inferior to Erlang Shen’s.

In the face of Evening Star’s threats, although Ximen Ji felt his heart skip a beat, he did not cower. After all, he was a top ten powerhouse of the Nanzhuo Dynasty and the Great Elder of the Divine Sword Hall. If he showed cowardice now, how could he face anyone afterwards?

Would anyone join the Divine Sword Hall out of admiration in the future?

"Save your breath. Let’s see your true skills in action!"

Ximen Ji snorted coldly, and while speaking, he took out a withered wooden staff that looked ordinary and unremarkable, almost as if picked up from the roadside. But it soon emitted a strange grey smoke, and he charged toward Evening Star.

With Evening Star there, did Qin Jun need to run?

You could hear him standing behind Evening Star, mocking, "Old dog, if you can withstand three moves from me, Evening Star, consider it my loss!"

Three moves?

Even the most easy-going person wouldn’t tolerate such contemptuous provocation, let alone Ximen Ji, who considered his opponent as an insignificant bug he could crush at will.

"Die!"

Ximen Ji swung the withered staff toward Evening Star, and the eerie grey smoke instantly formed a sharp long sword that tore through the air, thrusting straight at Evening Star’s face.

The faint smile never left Evening Star’s face, as he gently waved the Evil Expelling Dust Brush in his hand. Without any flamboyant magical manifestation, Ximen Ji felt an unimaginable force hitting him straight in the face.

With a boom!

Ximen Ji’s aged figure flew backward, crashing into the mountain of Imperial Palace Peak like a cannonball. Rocks flew, and dust filled the air, leaving his fate unknown.

Instant kill!

"Tsk tsk, I already said as much, why didn’t you know to retreat in the face of difficulty." Qin Jun said with a mocking smile, which made Evening Star shake his head.

Then Evening Star looked up at the sky, where the thunderous noises above the rolling clouds were nonstop, showing that Sha Wujing and Luo Emperor were fighting fiercely. Just by looking up, one could feel the oppressive might hitting their faces. Even Qin Jun, who had reached the eighth layer of the Golden Elixir Realm, felt a sting on his face, which is why he never dared to look up.

"Your Highness, shall we leave?" Evening Star turned back and asked Qin Jun. Although he and Wujing, together, could sweep through the Imperial Capital, what was the point in doing so?

Destroying the Imperial Capital wouldn’t erase the Nanzhuo Dynasty.

To obliterate an entire Imperial Dynasty, even for a strong warrior in the Immortal Realm, is not something that could be accomplished overnight. The roots of the dynasty remained deep, it wouldn’t take long for the Nanzhuo Dynasty to rebuild another Imperial Capital.

And Evening Star didn’t want to go too far. If the Imperial Capital was destroyed, how many people would end up in jeopardy?

After all, Evening Star is a deity, a true deity, and even in Huaxia legends, he rarely had any blemishes on his record.

"Let’s kill Luo Emperor before we leave!"

Qin Jun said coldly. Luo Emperor had harbored intentions to kill him, even sent assassins after him, and Qin Jun was not one to sit idly by awaiting his doom.

Although I am not the protagonist in a fantasy novel who retaliates by wiping out anyone who offends me and their entire family,

if you try to kill me, I’ll at least take you down!

Evening Star was slightly moved, not expecting Qin Jun to have such audacity, actually contemplating the assassination of Luo Emperor.

With the death of the Luo Emperor, the entire Nanzhuo Dynasty would undoubtedly experience a major earthquake, and it might even shake the entire Southern Domain. Qin Jun would enter the sight of various dynasties. If he could kill the ruler of the Nanzhuo Dynasty, he could kill the rulers of other dynasties too. Perhaps this could even bring out the jealousy of other dynasties, or worse, prompt them to assassinate him.

Having followed Qin Jun for so long, Evening Star believed that he wouldn’t fail to consider this point. If he still dared to kill the Luo Emperor on this basis, Qin Jun’s courage was truly admirable.

From Qin Jun’s perspective, to kill an existence that was more than ten thousand times stronger than him, courage was the most important thing.

Of course, if Qin Jun chose not to kill the Luo Emperor, the trouble that followed would not be small either.

So Evening Star was also willing to support Qin Jun. To kill just one Luo Emperor would not harm the citizens, and naturally, he had no objections.

"Since Your Highness wishes to stir trouble, then I will accompany Your Highness!" Evening Star said with a smile, looking at Qin Jun’s youthful and confident face, his heart filled with relief.

Qin Jun was wise and not lacking in courage. A youth like him, should he grow up, would definitely be able to dominate the scene.

Afterward, the two began flying towards the top of the Imperial Palace Peak.

Meanwhile, Li Bai and Daji arrived as well, with hundreds of thousands of imperial guards of the Northern Palace already dead or injured. With Li Yuanba, transformed into a Giant Bird, restraining them, the remaining guards naturally focused their attention on him.

"Haha, Your Highness, I’ll also join you in this fight to the top!" Li Bai flew next to Evening Star and laughed, his spirit soaring as if he was willing to face any danger alongside Qin Jun.

Daji, who came to Qin Jun’s side, also laughed and said, "I was the first to accompany Your Highness, naturally, I’ll keep on accompanying!"

Qin Jun couldn’t help but become absent-minded, recalling the first day he woke up after traveling through time, when he was locked in a prison cart and Daji appeared like a goddess from the Nine Heavens to rescue him. That scene was still unforgettable, which was why in his heart, Daji was definitely the person in this world he felt closest to, even though the clingy Li couldn’t quite match up to Daji in his heart.

"Good! With you by my side, I’m not afraid of the Luo Emperor, not even the Luo God!"

Qin Jun said, laughing. The group of four soared straight up, and this scene, witnessed by everyone at the Imperial Palace Peak, seemed as if frozen in time. Although there were only four of them, they appeared fearless against thousands.

Even the enemy could not help but feel fear in the face of such momentum.

"Stop him!"

Zhang Leiting shouted angrily. A character who could leave Ximen Ji unsure of his life or death with a wave of his hand must be infinitely close to the Immortal Realm, if not already in it. If Evening Star were to join the fight, the situation would definitely be troublesome for the Luo Emperor.

"Heh heh, you’ll have to get past me first!"

Black Impermanence sneered, and as he spoke, billows of black mist separated from his body, morphing into several split bodies that surrounded Zhang Leiting, infuriating him and causing him to bellow with rage.

On the other side, White Impermanence was essentially slaughtering the members of the Divine Sword Hall, while the other members of the Six Major Sects dodged to the corners to watch the drama unfold.

The expression on Ao Wujian’s face, however, changed from mocking to serious. The power displayed by Qin Jun’s subordinates was becoming increasingly shocking to him.

Of course, none of the Six Major Sects took action. If they all did, it was likely that, apart from Sha Wujing and Evening Star, none of the others would fare well.

But the reason the Six Major Sects did not intervene was obviously that they had their own plans in mind.

One by one, the elders of the Divine Sword Hall pursued Qin Jun and the others. Li Mengjia, the head of the six palaces of Star Lodge, had his eyes fixed on Qin Jun, his fists clenched tightly, yet he did not make a move.

His beloved pet had been smashed to death by Li Yuanba’s hammer, and after being instigated by the Evil Dragon, he had come to hate Qin Jun as well. But he understood that now was not the time to kill Qin Jun.

The first reason was that he couldn’t do it, and the second was that the Six Major Sects were all waiting for an opportunity!

"Damn, they dare to chase after us!"

Qin Jun looked down at the Divine Sword Hall elders who were pursuing him and became furious. He immediately took out the Destruction Gatling and started firing down below.
