Chapter 855: Fight Fire with Fire

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Thousands of pale-faced heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals drew their weapons and surrounded Wu Qi. A few moments ago, they were frightened by his incredibly powerful palm-thunders, and their legs were trembling, but when they saw Lord Bowang, they seemed to have regained their courage. Auspicious clouds and golden light were being emanated from their bodies, and when coupled with their golden armors, they looked mighty and magnificent, truly worthy to be the imperial guards of the Heaven whose sole task was to protect the Celestial Emperors.

Wu Qi reached out a little finger and picked his ear. But, as a Primordial expert, he had reached the realm of dustless and soil-less, so no matter how he picked, he could not pull out anything. Flicking his finger, he looked at Lord Bowang and said with a smile, “What did the Crown Prince say? Could you say that again?”

Lord Bowang’s face darkened, and when it was clouded over by the purple glow of his garb, it made him looked even more like a big, shiny, purple eggplant. With hands clasped behind his back, he stared fixedly at Wu Qi and said with a cold grin, “Give me that beauty and kowtow to me three hundred times, and I’ll forget what happened today.”

He did not care about the fact that Wu Qi had killed more than two thousands of his entourage. To him, they were just two thousand imperial guards, and the Heaven did not lack so little soldiers. If truth be told, of all the immortals who ascended into the Heaven, those with either connection, backers, or descent overall strength had all went to serve in various ministries, while the worst of them were able to work in the mansions of those mighty figures or high-ranking officials. Only the hapless immortals with either the weakest cultivation bases, no backer or connection, or too poor to bride high officials, would be absorbed into Heaven’s army.

Over two thousand Heaven Immortals had fallen at the same time. If this were to happen in some outer heavenly realm, it would be a shocking event. But it was nothing to the Heaven. Ignoring others, just in Lord Bowang’s mansion alone, no less than three hundred female immortals vanished silently every year because of various accidents. So, the death of thousands of immortals was nothing to him.

Wu Qi looked at Lord Bowang with a little surprise. He naturally heard the meaning buried in the crown prince’s words. Then, he turned to look at those heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals. Those generals had it a bit better off; since they were able to rise to the rank of general in the imperial army, they had something or someone to rely on. But the faces of those soldiers had turned unsightly, while some even lowered their weapons, no longer pointing at Wu Qi.

Wu Qi could not help but sigh with mixed emotions in his heart. He felt sorry for these soldiers. They had cultivated so hard to become Heaven Immortals, but in the end, they were used as cannon fodder after ascending to the Heaven. If he were them, he would rather become an itinerant immortal and live a carefree, happy life in some unknown outer heavenly realm.

Shaking his head, Wu Qi said coldly, “What did the Crown Prince say? Could you say that again?”

Lord Bowang’s face became even uglier. With a cold snort, he said word by word, “Listen up, King of Dong Hai: bring me that beauty who was standing next to you, I want to fuck her today in your mansion. When I’m fucking her, I want you to kneel and wait outside the bedchamber. Do you understand me?”

Wu Qi’s anger was full to the brim, but contrary to what one might suppose, he was extremely calm. He smiled gently at Lord Bowang, turned and pointed at Huang Liang, who was bound to the stake, and asked, “If I may ask, Crown Prince, how did my men offend you? Why did you order them to be tortured so severely?”

Arching a brow, Lord Bowang said faintly, “Do I need a reason to punish a few ants? King of Dong Hai, stop wasting my time and quickly bring me that beauty, and I’ll spare you from death. If not, don’t blame me for being cruel when all the living beings in your Dong Hai Province are wiped out!”

Wu Qi turned to look at Lord Bowang and burst out laughing. With arms folded over his chest, he gave a cold snort and said, “I think Crown Prince has forgotten one thing: you are now in Dong Hai Province, my territory; the land you are stepping on right now is Pangu Continent, Great Yu’s territory. Who gives you, the crown prince of Heaven, the rights to tell us what to do here? You want me to offer my wife to you? Who do you think you are?”

A great plume of black-and-red flame spouted out of his eyes; the wisp of Nirvana Flame Wu Qi had collected in the chaos turned into a towering flame and swept across all directions. Lord Bowang’s face fell, and he cried out in fury. All of a sudden, dozens of golden lotus flowers flew out from all over him and began to spin rapidly, turning into streaks of light which provided him a tight protection. But the remaining thousand-odd imperial guards he brought had all turned into black ashes as soon as they were licked by the flame. Under the control of Wu Qi’s enormous divine sense, the terrible flame turned into ferocious beasts and ran wildly all over the place, swallowing Lord Bowang’s chariot, the Ying Dragons who pulled the chariot, and the mounts of the soldiers and generals.

Then, he pointed a finger out. Blood Centipede Sword turned into a dozen fine red lines and flew out, cutting the golden stakes behind Huang Liang and others into pieces. The quality of these stakes was surprisingly excellent. With the fierce killing intent of an innate spirit artifact, it actually took Blood Centipede Sword several cuts to break them.

As soon as they were freed, Huang Liang and others fell to their knees before Wu Qi, begging for forgiveness. “Your Highness, we have shamed you this time!”

Wu Qi waved a hand. One after another, Huang Liang and his assistants were lifted to their feet by a gentle force, and their bodies were wrapped in robes and armors. “Earn your honor back next time,” he said faintly. “Aye, how could the crown prince of the Heaven not protect by some experts? You are not their matches, and I won’t blame you because of this!”

It was at this moment that two dignified-looking men in the uniforms of Celestial Official came slowly out of the mansion. One of them was holding a blue jade Ruyi scepter in his hand, which emanated a great sheet of blue light to protect Lord Bowang and himself. A deep sound of waves lapping on rocks could be heard coming out of the blue light. Even with its frightening power of burning off everything in the world, the Nirvana Flame could not penetrate the blue light. Wu Qi rested his eyes on the scepter, and was shocked to find out that it was the condensation of the essence of the ‘Sourceless Spirit Water’, which was an innate water spirit on the same rank as the Nirvana Flame found in the Chaotic World. No wonder it could not withstand the attack of the flame.

Fortunately Wu Qi had attacked with Nirvana Flame, an overbearing chaotic divine flame. If it were other flames, they would have long been quenched by the Sourceless Spirit Water.

Another man was holding a white seal about the size of a fist. As he walked slowly to Lord Bowang, he cried out in a low voice, “Crown Prince, please allow me to kill this wicked man, so that we can show others that the Heaven is not something they can afford to mess with!”

Lord Bowang nodded indifferently. He retracted his golden lotus flowers and said lazily, “Kill him, then. Well, remember to search his soul for the location of that beauty. My Qiong Hua Palace has been emptied for months, and I want that beauty to fill it.”

The man smiled, then raised the seal up and aimed it at Wu Qi.

Grinning coldly, Wu Qi stared at the two Celestial Officials whose cultivation bases were at the ninth-tier of the Primordial ream, and said, “Are you out of your mind? You are now in Great Yu’s territory! If you dare to attack me now, you will provoke a war between the Heaven and Great Yu!”

Upon hearing Wu Qi’s words, Lord Bowang suddenly burst out laughing. “So what if we really provoke a war? In just a couple more years, your Great Yu...”

Just as he was about to say something he should not, the Celestial Official with the scepter cleared his throat. Lord Bowang immediately shut his mouth. He coughed a few times to cover his embarrassment, then turned to smile at the Celestial Official and said, “Just kill everyone in this city, and no one will be able to leak this.”

The two Celestial Officials exchanged a glance. The one with the seal smiled, raised the seal up and cried out lightly, “King of Dong Hai!”

Wu Qi gave him a look. Without saying a word, he produced the Heaven-pacifying Sword he kept for himself and slashed it out toward the Celestial Official. ‘Why should I answer you when you call my name?’ he was laughing in his heart. ‘I’ve seen this many times in those mythological novels, that when you call my name and if I answered, the seal in your hand will have some strange transformation waiting for me. Do you really think I am that stupid? Why should I answer you?’

The Celestial Official had shouted Wu Qi’s name calmly, but instead of answering, Wu Qi turned a deaf ear to that and attacked him with a sword straightaway. His face fell instantly as he hurriedly performed a different incantation gesture with his left hand, throwing the seal down toward Wu Qi’s head.

As soon as the seal left his hand, it turned into a mass of light about the size of a human head. Bringing with it deep, powerful thunderclaps, it went straight toward Wu Qi’s head.

Compared to the seal’s splendid appearance, the Heaven-pacifying Sword Wu Qi had crafted in his previous life looked ordinary and simple. It measured three feet in length, three inches in width, and one-third of an inch in thickness. It was anciently fashioned, without any decoration or carving, and emitted no gleam.

A crisp, almost undetectable noise rang out, sounded as faint as when a divine weapon sliced through an apple. Then, the sword continued to fly toward the Celestial Official’s chest, while the seal’s splendid light vanished as it was sliced in half and fell to the ground, turning into a trace of light and disappeared in just the blink of an eye.

The Celestial Official grunted, opened his mouth and coughed up a stream of blood. The seal was an artifact he cultivated with his life, and was almost giving birth to its sentience and transforming into a Primordial artifact. Over the years, it had crushed countless divine weapons and claimed innumerable lives. He did not dream that a simple sword produced by Wu Qi could so effortlessly destroy his natal artifact.

Lord Bowang was, after all, the son to the Great Celestial Emperor, and that made him a man with discerning eyes. As he looked at the sword slowly flying through the air, he cried out at the top of his lungs, “It’s a Chaotic Spirit Artifact! I can’t believe it’s a Chaotic Spirit Artifact! Damnit, how could a subject of Great Yu like you own a Chaotic Spirit Artifact?”

The sword seemed to fly at a very slow speed, and everyone could clearly see its movement, but it had locked down the Celestial Official and immobilized him. He was coughing up blood as his natal artifact was destroyed, and he saw the sword was coming at him, but all he could do was kept coughing blood; his body did not move, and he did not even have the thought to fight back or dodge it.

In the face of Heaven-pacifying Sword, everything was frozen, including one’s thought.

The sword, flying at a speed that was about the same as a man’s walking, easily pierced into the Celestial Official’s chest, then flew back into Wu Qi’s hand. Life gradually faded away from the Celestial Official’s eyes as he fell back on his back and died completely.

Lord Bowang and the other Celestial Official stared at Wu Qi as if they were looking at a ghost. “How dare you to kill my subordinate? King of Dong Hai, y-yo-you...” the crown prince growled.

Wu Qi walked up to him, sliced open the water barrier the blue Ruyi scepter had unleashed, and slapped Lord Bowang in the face.

With a twisted, ferocious smile, he kicked the crown prince in the stomach, then roared with laughter. “You mean to say I’ll be hunt down by the Heaven and my entire clan will be slaughtered, right? But, before I die, you will die first!”

When the other Celestial Official finally recollected himself and was performing an incantation gesture to attack Wu Qi, a spear and a halberd silently came thrusting at him from the back. The spear pierced his chest, while the halberd went from the back of his head and came out from his forehead. His body trembled. Before he could do anything, he was slain by Ao Buzun and Lord Xiansheng.

Wu Qi clutched Lord Bowang on the neck and lifted him up. “Tie him up and whip him all you like!” he said to Huang Liang with a cold smile.

Huang Liang and all the other military officials of Dong Hai were filled with wild joy as they clasped their fists and answered with a loud cry.
