Chapter 319: So He Just Wants Her Dead, Right? 【vs】
Tian Hong: “…”
Do you have to show off like this?
Do I have to write “envy, jealousy, and hatred” on my face?
Ming Zhaoshuang didn’t have the time to care what Tian Hong was thinking. She stabbed him twice more, and realizing that any sword move that threatened his life couldn’t penetrate his body at all, she knew that with her current strength, she couldn’t kill Tian Hong at all. This person could only be left to others.
However, she hadn’t planned to kill him in the first place.
Even if she left him, she couldn’t let him go out and harm others.
“Tenth Senior Sister, this person cannot be killed. Take him to Lapis Lazuli Azure Sea for interrogation.”
“Alright, alright. I needed to keep someone for interrogation anyway. Let’s see who the shameless one is who participated in this insane transaction.”
Shen Yuyin cheerfully agreed and signaled Xingyun to chop off the head of an Artifact Cultivator. Just as she was about to praise Ming Zhaoshuang’s Primordial Beginning of the Great Void move as incredibly cool, she suddenly heard Sang Biao, who was killing fiercely on the side, let out a howl at Ming Zhaoshuang.
“Master, Master! Quickly take me back!”
Ming Zhaoshuang didn’t understand, but she subconsciously raised her sleeve and took Sang Biao back.
As soon as Sang Biao was gone, Ming Zhaoshuang felt a chill all over her body, or rather, everyone felt a chill.
Before Ming Zhaoshuang could react, she saw a long sword, carrying a chilling Spiritual Energy, insert into Tian Hong’s heart with exceptional dominance.
Caught off guard.
Ming Zhaoshuang was slightly astonished.
Before he died, Tian Hong’s eyes were wide with shock. His eyeballs strained to look forward, his lips trembling slightly, as if he had been startled by something, or as if he suddenly understood.
Finally, he spat out those few words.
“Ming, Ming… Zhu…”
Ming Zhu, the other Immortal Crossing in this era!
Ming Zhaoshuang and the others stiffly raised their heads and saw a sword cultivator in dark robes standing in the direction Tian Hong was staring. His face was majestic and indifferent, and his golden eyes were observing everyone present without any emotion.
Ming Zhaoshuang looked up, her gaze meeting his.
There was some surprise.
Yet, there was also some understanding.
When she had released the Primordial Beginning of the Great Void earlier, Daylight had broken, and the entire Youdu Mountain had lit up. This was not her accomplishment; she wasn’t that powerful.
It turned out that the second Immortal Crossing had arrived.
Mingzhu Immortal Crossing and Ao Tian, the Ascender from over ten thousand years ago, were born on the same day, under the same sky, and at the same time. They were the last two Divine Race beings created by the Creation of Heaven and Earth, and their True Bodies were Candle Dragons.
As for why Ao Tian had ascended tens of thousands of years ago, while Ming Zhu only underwent the Tribulation of Ascension three thousand years ago, it was all because he was too lazy, too irresponsible, and loved to sleep too much.
By the time he opened his eyes, the entire Underworld would probably be illuminated.
Coincidentally, this Immortal Crossing was someone she had met before, in the space that had emerged from Qichun Mountain.
He was playing chess with Qichun Mountain.
No wonder she had felt that this Immortal Crossing resembled Ming Zhaoxue when she saw him back then. After all, they were considered to be twins with Ao Tian, except one was black and the other white, one immortal and one ghost.
He shouldn’t be a bad person. Ming Zhaoshuang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something when she saw Tan Zhu move gracefully and stand in front of them.
“Venerable Ming Zhu.”
Ming Zhu’s gaze shifted from Ming Zhaoshuang to Tan Zhu, his interest greatly diminished.
Tan Zhu was still pondering his thoughts and tried to steady her voice: “Tian Hong nurtured an Immortal Embryo for his personal gain. This is unbearable to heaven and earth, and disgraceful to the Underworld. Now that Your Venerable self has awakened to execute the demon, it truly makes us admire you immensely.”
She was flattering Ming Zhu.
Unfortunately, Ming Zhu didn’t fall for it.
“What kind of ability or influence did Tian Hong have to make This Seat awaken?”
Tan Zhu panicked and quickly said: “This matter was all initiated by my daughter. My two junior sisters were merely misled by my words. I beg Your Venerable self to spare them.”
Tan Zhu knew clearly that if the person before her wanted to kill them, they would have no choice but to die, even with their heavenly powers.
But this person had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, hadn’t he?
Why would he suddenly awaken and suddenly appear?
Ming Zhu asked: “You are Qi Song’s daughter.”
Tan Zhu bowed her head: “Yes, I am my father’s third daughter, but I have never been acknowledged by him.”
Qi Song was the name of the current Emperor Fengdu.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuyin and the others’ pupils trembled. They stared motionlessly at the girl before them, who had shed her seductive charm and was neither subservient nor overbearing, and a thousand storms raged in their hearts.
They hadn’t expected that Tan Zhu, who seemed to have such a background, would be the daughter of Emperor Fengdu.
Only Ming Zhaoshuang, who had forgotten the original plot and didn’t know the name of Emperor Fengdu, was a little confused, not understanding who Qi Song was or what kind of powerful figure he was.
Ming Zhu fell silent again. Tan Zhu, not knowing what he was thinking, was about to speak again when she saw his gaze shift back to Ming Zhaoshuang.
He seemed to particularly like staring at Ming Zhaoshuang.
When Qichun Mountain had appeared last time, he hadn’t focused his attention on Si Yuyan, but rather on Ming Zhaoshuang, as if she held a secret he wanted to uncover.
“Primordial Beginning of the Great Void, was that sword called that?”
Ming Zhaoshuang said: “Yes, but I’ve only comprehended about two tenths of it.”
Ming Zhu nodded, a look of admiration flashing in his eyes: “A good sword.”
A sword technique containing Primordial Qi was enough to surpass all things. That she could create it at the age of fourteen was indeed astonishing, worthy of being someone who would change the world in the future.
Ming Zhaoshuang pointed at the sword that Ming Zhu had sinisterly inserted into Tian Hong’s chest and replied: “A good *jian* (pun on sword/cheap)!”
How could it not be cheap? They could have taken Tian Hong directly. As the leader here, he must have known a lot, but Ming Zhu had just killed him so readily, rendering all their previous struggles and efforts in vain.
Ming Zhu seemed to understand and chuckled softly.
“Since it’s a good sword, then you can have a match with This Seat.”
Saying that, the long sword returned to Ming Zhu’s hand, carrying a hint of casualness and disdain, as well as a touch of probing and curiosity.
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around could only stare at each other.
Is Ming Zhu crazy?
What is he, and what is Ming Zhaoshuang? How could a mere Nascent Soul be worthy of fighting an Immortal Crossing?
This is just asking for trouble. If they wanted Ming Zhaoshuang to die, they should have just said so, no need for roundabout ways.
Ming Zhaoshuang’s lips couldn’t help but twitch: “You might as well just tell me to kill myself.”
Ming Zhu: “Unwilling?”
Ming Zhaoshuang: “Is this a matter of whether I’m willing or not? If you casually flick your sleeve, I could probably try eighteen ways to die, alright.”
Ming Zhu: “It’s not that serious.”
Ming Zhaoshuang: “……”
So he really wanted her dead that badly.
That’s what she thought, but Ming Zhaoshuang knew that the person before her didn’t have much hostility towards her. If Ming Zhu had wanted to kill them, they would be dead already.
So she said: “How about this, you lower your cultivation to Early Nascent Soul, and I’ll fight you.”
This was an excellent sparring partner!
She couldn’t bear to let go of this opportunity.
