God Emperor - Chapter 1330

Chapter 1330: 1330

“We’re all Sword Keepers of the Pluto Sword Tomb,” Martial Saint Canglan said . “You should know why I took Zhu Qingyi away . I lost the Fentian Sword, so it’s my duty to take it back . ”

“You wanting to take the Fentian Sword is your own matter,” Zhang Ruochen said . “But Zhu Qingyi is my prisoner . Of course, she’s in your hands now, so you have the right not to return her to me . ”

Whoosh!

The Abyss Ancient Sword flew out, hovering before Zhang Ruochen . The densely packed sword-shaped Qi stood in organized rows, pointing at Martial Saint Canglan .

The two had faced enemies together before, so Zhang Ruochen gave her a chance to compromise . However, now they stood against each other . There was no need to be as polite as before .

The six Saintesses grew nervous too . To be honest, they didn’t want Zhang Ruochen to become an enemy, let alone be in a kill or be killed situation .

Martial Saint Canglan’s eyes flashed . Hesitation filled her eyes . “Zhang Ruochen, we’re not enemies . Why are you doing this?”

“You’re the one who attacked first,” Zhang Ruochen said .

“Okay, I can return Zhu Qingyi to you, but you must promise me that you’ll take me with you when going against Situ Fengcheng . ”

Martial Saint Canglan guessed Zhang Ruochen’s true motive, so she decided to negotiate with him early on .

“You should at least show your sincerity if you want to work with me . ”

“I already agreed to return the person,” Martial Saint Canglan said . “Isn’t that sincere enough . ”

“Apologize,” Zhang Ruochen said coldly .

Martial Saint Canglan worked to suppress her anger . “Your request is too much!”

“Is it too much? We’ve fought together against enemies . If you were anyone else, I wouldn’t waste so much time talking . I wouldn’t give them another chance to work together either . ”

Martial Saint Canglan stared at Zhang Ruochen with her almond eyes, acting like she would eat him . She just wouldn’t lower herself and apologize .

Qing Mo had been forced back by Martial Saint Canglan, but she wasn’t hurt . She went back to Zhang Ruochen’s side and sent him a message .

“Lord, she’s the head of the Nine Heavenly Maidens . She has high authority and spirit . Who can make her bow her head, other than the Empress?”

“You think my request is too much as well?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

Qing Mo nodded firmly . “It’s impossible to make her apologize,” she said telepathically . “We have many enemies right now . We shouldn’t create more . ”

In the distance, Martial Saint Canglan took a deep breath . Clenching her white teeth, she said, “Zhang Ruochen, you win . I will give in this time, but I won’t repay you any other favors . Don’t try to ask me for help if you’re arrested by the imperial court . ”

Then Martial Saint Canglan walked to Zhang Ruochen . Eyes burning with fire, she threw Zhu Qingyi onto the ground . Turning her beautiful face, she stared at the wall on the right .

“I’m sorry . I shouldn’t have attacked you secretly and taken your prisoner . ”

Qing Mo and the six Saintesses were all dumbfounded . They never would’ve guessed that Martial Saint Canglan would give in and apologize to Zhang Ruochen .

No one would believe this if news spread .

“I don’t see your sincerity,” Zhang Ruochen said . “I don’t accept your apology . ”

“Don’t push me . We’re so close right now . Do you think I can’t capture you now and turn you into a prisoner too?”

Martial Saint Canglan clenched her fists and bit her teeth . Her body seemed to burn like a furnace .

Right now, she was only three steps away from Zhang Ruochen . This was no distance for a Saint . If she really tried, she was confident in capturing Zhang Ruochen .

“You might not be able to capture me, no matter how close . ”

Zhang Ruochen was even more confident . Showing no fear, he instead took three steps forward .

The two were even closer now . They were only a fist away . The curves on Martial Saint Canglan’s chest were almost pressed against Zhang Ruochen .

Neither of them stepped back . They both had sharp personalities .

Qing Mo and the six Saintesses held their breath, staring closely at the two . They had a feeling that a huge battle was imminent .

The two were at a stalemate for a long while . Martial Saint Canglan’s eyes hardened . She seemed to be considering something .

In the end, she didn’t take the risk . Collecting the flames outside her body, she said, “The human race has problems both inside and out . It’s not the time for more internal conflicts . We should work together and face out . I’m sorry . I indeed acted wrongly this time . After all, we once faced mutual enemies . I shouldn’t have attacked secretly no matter what . Even if we fight, we should do it face-to-face . ”

Zhang Ruochen turned around and walked toward the formation shield . “If this happens again, I won’t forgive you . ”

From childhood to now, Martial Saint Canglan had always crushed everyone around her with her powerful abilities . She never submitted to anyone, including her brother, who was first on the Five Heroes List .

Today, because of various reasons, she was suppressed for the first time . For the first time ever, she was forced to lower herself . She obviously wasn’t happy about this .

“Zhang Ruochen, you bastard . When I get the Fentian Sword back, I’ll definitely defeat you in front of everyone, so you’ll know how powerful the head of the Nine Heavenly Maidens is . ”

Martial Saint Canglan felt wronged and a bit regretful . She felt that her behavior earlier had been too embarrassing . She should’ve acted decisively and fought thousands of rounds with him, punching his arrogant face into a swollen pulp .

Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel any pride, but Martial Saint Canglan thought he did . She grew angry at the very thought .

The six Saintesses felt the Martial Saint’s anger . Right now, she was like a furious dragon . Everyone stayed away from her, not daring to speak to her .

Zhang Ruochen used spatial power to create a spatial crack and cut down at the formation shield .

Whoosh!

A three-foot-wide hole opened up in the formation . After the spatial crack closed, the formation’s hole was also closing quickly . Everyone hurriedly used their fastest techniques to dart in .

After entering the formation, the Spiritual Qi in the air multiplied . Lightning flashed in the sky . Spiritual Qi condensed into liquid and fell down like light rain .

“Spiritual Qi turning into rain? This is too dramatic!” a Saintess cried out . “Even the Spiritual Qi in the Central Emperor City isn’t so heavy . ”

“I can have a breakthrough quickly if I cultivate here . ”

…

After entering the formation, the Universe Spiritual Map in Zhang Ruochen’s Sea of Qi started getting antsy . There was a string of cracks . A dozen cracks opened up on the scroll .

Boom .

Chaotic Qi poured out with even more menacing force . The Universe Spiritual Map was close to crumbling .

How did these changes occur to the Universe Spiritual Map? Zhang Ruochen was shocked inwardly .

“Be careful underfoot . ”

Martial Saint Canglan grabbed her saintly sword and stabbed down, hitting the side of a Saintess’ right foot .

Boom .

A blue firebug crawled out of the dirt and was gnawing on her foot . After getting hit, it sank back underground .

Martial Saint Canglan collected her sword . Looking at the tip, her expression grew solemn . “It didn’t die . What kind of insect is this?”

Whoosh!

Another blue firebug flew out from another direction and bit a Saintess’ left hand . With a spark, the Saintess’ entire arm was ignited with blue fire . The flames spread toward her shoulder and head .

Crack!

Zhang Ruochen waved his sword and cut off her arm . The Saintess cried out in a low voice as blood flowed out of her shoulder . She stumbled back and hid behind Martial Saint Canglan .

“What are you doing?” Martial Saint Canglan demanded .

Zhang Ruochen didn’t reply . He just stared at the broken arm on the ground . It had already been burned to ashes .

Martial Saint Canglan finally understood what was happening . Gasping, her expression grew more uncomfortable .

The Saintess that Zhang Ruochen had cut the arm off of was extremely pale . She realized that she’d just been saved from death .

“Is it the legendary God-swallowing Bug?” Zhang Ruochen’s facial muscles were pulled taut to the extreme . “This isn’t a place they should stay,” he said . “Send them out immediately . ”

Martial Saint Canglan didn’t know what God-swallowing Bugs were, but she understood that it was too dangerous for the six Saintesses . They could die from a slight misstep .

“Qing Mo, you’re not careful enough,” Zhang Ruochen said seriously . “Go out with them . ”

Qing Mo’s knees were already weak from fear . She felt saved when she heard Zhang Ruochen’s words . “Lord, how about we all go out? It’s too dangerous here . ”

If the Universe Spiritual Map hadn’t changed dramatically, Zhang Ruochen would have retreated as well . But now, he had to find the answer . Perhaps, the Universe World could be born here .

After sending them out, only Zhang Ruochen and Martial Saint Canglan remained to go deeper inside the palace . There was a ball of blue light that covered the entire palace . Not only did it radiate with Spiritual Qi, it seemed that Spiritual Qi poured out of it too .

While being cautious of the ground, Martial Saint Canglan asked, “What exactly are God-swallowing Bugs?”

She couldn’t stab through that blue firebug even with her full power . Martial Saint Canglan felt unconfident and unsure .

“In legends,” Zhang Ruochen said, “the God-swallowing Bugs are from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree . It’s born with the tree and lives inside the trunk . Because it eats the wood of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, it’s known as the God-swallowing Bug . It’s not because it can actually devour gods . ”

“Isn’t the Divine Sky-connecting Tree a god?” Martial Saint Canglan asked . “If the God-swallowing Bug can live inside a divine tree and gnaw on it, then it’s really scary, alright?”

“If you’re afraid, it’s not too late for you to back out . ”

Who wouldn’t be afraid of something like the God-swallowing Bug? Martial Saint Canglan really wanted to back out, but hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, she felt unsatisfied . “You’re not afraid, so why would I be afraid?”

She sped up and actually went ahead of Zhang Ruochen .
