Chapter 858
Above the void, brilliant light danced wildly, and astonishing power surged, making it seem as if heaven and earth were exploding. The power wielded by the three figures was shockingly terrifying. Ye Chu and the others looked up at the brilliant light above, each of them deeply shocked in their hearts. Everyone’s heart pounded with fear, and no one could remain calm. The strange phenomena erupting in the void were far too terrifying.
Three peerless forces collided and exploded in the sky like a massive blast. Brilliant light radiated in all directions, and as it danced, it shredded everything to pieces.
“Rumble…”
The space above the void was shrouded in brilliant radiance, and no one could clearly see the scene within. Everyone held their breath, staring straight up.
Ou Yi and the others had glowing eyes, wanting to pierce through the brilliance to see inside. But the laws wielded by the three were too terrifying. Even if he wielded his own laws, he could not penetrate it.
Amidst this brilliance, three figures shot out, their speed as fast as lightning. As the Son of Heaven’s figure danced, his voice still rumbled like startling thunder, “So what if you two gang up on me? Having reached our level, how could we be easily killed?”
Ye Chu was shocked. He had not expected that even after everyone erupted with such power, they still failed to kill the opponent.
Ou Yi sighed and said, “It is just as expected. Even with two people attacking together, I am afraid we cannot do anything to him.”
Hearing Ou Yi’s words, Ye Chu’s pupils suddenly contracted. If that were the case, the price he paid would hardly be worth it.
Ye Chu’s gaze fell on Bai Qingqing’s hands. He refused to believe that Shui Gu and she, joining forces, would still be helpless against him.
“Do you think my demonic arts end here?” Hearing the Son of Heaven’s roar, Bai Qingqing sneered. The shattered afterimages in the void suddenly reappeared. As they danced, a bewitching charm that bewildered the mind surged forth. As this charm washed over him, the Son of Heaven was pulled by the laws. Even though he resisted with peerless power, there was still a brief instant of bewitchment, and his primal spirit paused for a fraction of a second at that moment.
“Right now!” Shui Gu suddenly shouted. The power in his hand transformed into a long blade, and he fiercely slashed towards the Son of Heaven.
His speed was as fast as lightning. In the next instant, he was beside the Son of Heaven, and the long blade slashed straight down.
The Son of Heaven’s expression changed drastically. He wielded his power and raised his hand to block Shui Gu.
“Sever!”
Seeing this, Shui Gu’s eyes grew even colder. He slashed down, instantly shattering the Son of Heaven’s power. The long blade chopped straight onto his arm, and that arm was instantly severed, blood spurting out.
“Shui Gu, I want your life!”
The Son of Heaven’s furious roar erupted. As drops of blood carrying laws spread throughout the void, his figure shot backwards, his tone filled with intense hatred.
“I will take your life right now!”
As Shui Gu spoke, his figure leapt up violently, and waves of astonishing power surged out. This was an opportunity, and for someone like the Son of Heaven, such an opportunity was extremely rare.
If it were not for Bai Qingqing’s demonic arts bewitching him for that brief instant, he would not have been able to sever his arm at all.
The Son of Heaven originally wanted to snatch back his severed arm, but seeing Shui Gu pressing forward, his expression turned grim. Ultimately, he did not dare to fight the two of them again. He tore through the void and shot away into it.
“Shui Gu, for the hatred of my severed arm today, I will demand your head to repay the debt another day!” The Son of Heaven’s grim words echoed out as his figure disappeared into the rift.
“You want to leave!” Bai Qingqing shouted angrily. Power surged from her hands, intending to shake the opponent out of the void. But the terrifying power shook the void, blasting a massive rift in it, yet the Son of Heaven was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Bai Qingqing’s expression changed greatly. She wanted to rush into the void, but Shui Gu shook his head and said, “Without three people, we cannot seal off all escape routes. Killing him is impossible. Being able to leave behind one of his arms already exceeds our expectations.”
Only then did Bai Qingqing give up. She nodded, looked at the arm burning by itself in the void, and let out a light breath. “What a pity. If we could have blocked his escape route, he would definitely have died here today.”
Shui Gu smiled, then looked at Bai Qingqing and said, “Your demonic arts are truly terrifying. Even a figure at the Son of Heaven’s level was bewitched for an instant. If it were not for your demonic arts, we truly could not have left behind one of his arms.”
Bai Qingqing looked at Shui Gu and said, “You are extraordinary as well, seizing this fleeting opportunity. I originally thought that in this world, only Lin Shixin and Ruoshui could compare to me. I did not expect there to be you as well.”
Shui Gu shook his head and said, “There are so many geniuses in the world, how can you and I claim supremacy? Only an arrogant person like the Son of Heaven would consider himself the number one among the younger generation.”
Bai Qingqing nodded. Thinking of their encounters over these years, who could say who was stronger than whom?
Take Ye Chu, for example. On the surface, his talent and strength could not compare to theirs. Yet he possessed something that even made her lose her composure. This person not only had no fear of evil energy, but he also harboured chaotic green energy within himself, and could condense it around his fists to turn it into attacks.
Given time to grow, would he definitely be weaker than them?
…
Ou Yi and Jin Wawa stared at the burning arm, each of them dazed in place. No one had expected it. The Son of Heaven of the Heavenly Prefecture had actually left an arm behind and fled in panic.
Zhong Wei widened her eyes even more. She was too familiar with the Son of Heaven. She knew how monstrous this person was, and she also knew how confident he was. What she had never imagined was that he, who had never met his match, would leave an arm behind and, moreover, run away.
He was such a proud person, yet this time he had fled. Zhong Wei could not even imagine that this was something he would do.
“He actually didn’t die!” Ye Chu muttered from the side, very dissatisfied with this result.
This sentence made Ou Yi, Jin Wawa, and Zhong Wei all have the urge to slap Ye Chu to death. For a figure like the Son of Heaven, were you still deluding yourself into thinking you could kill him? Being able to leave behind one arm was already a tremendous victory.
Ou Yi looked towards the direction of the Seven Great War Generals, only to find that their figures were already long gone. This made Ou Yi frown. “I will let you live a few more years. In front of this beautiful deity, you are merely some ants. The next time I run into you, I will deal with you slowly.”
Ou Yi also did not take it to heart. She did not care much about such people. Their strength was too poor, only enough to bully Ye Chu.
Bai Qingqing and Shui Gu walked down from the void, paying no attention to the burning arm. Shui Gu once again returned to his sleepy appearance, while Bai Qingqing stood there with a myriad of bewitching postures. She was full of charm and peerlessly enchanting. Just standing there, she could attract everyone’s gaze, making others feel ashamed of their own inferiority.
As a woman, Zhong Wei was unwilling to even look directly at this woman.
“You actually didn’t kill him, that is just pathetic!” Ye Chu looked at Shui Gu and Bai Qingqing and said, “You even called me trash, but you are even more trash!”
Ye Chu’s words made Ou Yi and Jin Wawa turn their faces away, pretending not to hear. But Shui Gu and Bai Qingqing’s gazes suddenly snapped towards Ye Chu. Bai Qingqing’s bewitching, water-like eyes revealed a hint of playful amusement.
