Chapter 283: Swearing by the God of Martial Arts’ Position

“Fighting God… cannot die?”

A strange flicker appeared in Su Wen’s eyes. The Arrow Realm didn’t dare to let the Fighting God die, even ignoring their own sacrifices in the sub-timelines and the Star God’s ascension.

This meant the Fighting God could act more boldly from now on.

As long as he stayed wary of their schemes, he could completely disregard his own life and death.

But why was the Arrow Realm so concerned about the Fighting God’s safety?

Even the raiders from across the starlit sky were using their own power to help the Fighting God recover from his injuries.

That top student definitely wouldn’t know the truth about this.

Even if he did, it would probably just be a guess.

Thinking this, Su Wen focused his mind, and the Demigod of the Holy Spirit clan, Zi Wu, appeared in the God of Martial Arts’ office.

“Your Holy Spirit clan has done quite the deed!”

Su Wen spoke in a low, furious tone.

Zi Wu: “?”

What’s going on now?

Wasn’t the clan already shut down by the God of Martial Arts?

In just a short time, has something big happened again?

That shouldn’t be possible!

From what he knew of those “friends,” they should be lying low right now.

“You really thought you could scheme against me through the Fighting God, using that so-called Dream Aspect Clan’s divine ability? You’ve got some nerve!”

Seeing Zi Wu remain silent, Su Wen continued, his voice seething with anger.

He wanted to draw out information slowly, saying as little as possible.

When dealing with an old demigod, the less said, the better.

Now, while the other party was still in the dark, if he could extract a couple of key details, it would be a win.

In those sub-timelines, the two of them… their bodies were probably long cold.

So, the more he could uncover, the better.

Zi Wu: “…”

He actually knew a bit about this.

The diviner, after foreseeing that the Fighting God might transcend, had used treasures of fate and fragments of battle rules to stir up trouble.

Coincidentally, the treasures of fate from the past were the ones he now held.

And he’d also noticed that little trick from the Dream Aspect Clan.

Hmm… it seemed the Dream Aspect Clan was in for some serious trouble.

But there was nothing he could do—they’d been careless and caught by the God of Martial Arts.

He currently felt utterly powerless. It wasn’t just about being trapped here; even if he were to recover fully, he’d run as far away as possible.

Earlier, the God of Martial Arts had confined the two of them in a sealed space, and in that space, there was a sleeping dragon.

A Ferocious Dragon!

Over there, it had given the two brothers a brutal beating.

Since becoming a Demigod, he had never experienced such humiliation.

Thankfully, the God of Martial Arts had pulled him out; otherwise, he might still be getting pummeled by that dragon.

“Great God, you didn’t summon me just to vent, did you?”

After a moment of silence, Zi Wu spoke up.

“I called you here to help me with a task.”

Su Wen nodded and said, “Do this well, and I’ll set you free.”

Zi Wu: “?”

What was that?

He couldn’t have misheard, could he?

He was a Demigod!

If he were in the God of Martial Arts’ shoes, having captured two Demigods from the enemy clan, he wouldn’t just let them go.

Thinking about the clan’s interests, he’d have eliminated them on the spot!

“Esteemed Great God, may I ask what you need me to do?”

Zi Wu straightened up, performed a formal bow, and said respectfully, “Whether I can do it or not, I’ll give it my all to try.”

Though he said that, he already had a plan.

As soon as the God of Martial Arts lifted the seal on him and restored his power, he’d make a run for it at the first opportunity.

What about his companion still in the God of Martial Arts’ hands?

Well… better to save himself than risk both their lives. If he could survive while both were doomed, that was already a win.

Rescuing his companion? That seemed nearly impossible.

Besides, he doubted the task the God of Martial Arts had in mind would be anything simple.

If it were simple, why would they need a Demigod like him?

The number of Demigods in their clan was limited; his return would be a huge boost for a clan already struggling.

Perhaps his return could even position their clan to take the lead when the tides of fate turned.

He was sure his companion would understand his decision.

“The task isn’t actually that difficult.”

Su Wen smiled and said, “Help me kill the Fighting God.”

Zi Wu: “???”

He couldn’t have misheard, could he?

Was he going crazy, or was the world going mad?

The God of Martial Arts wanted to kill the Fighting God?

What kind of logic was that?

Most importantly, the Fighting God couldn’t just be killed!

That guy must not die; it would cause a huge mess.

As Zi Wu remained stunned, Su Wen carefully observed his expressions and eyes.

Even the ingots worked at full power, assisting their God of Wealth in recording Zi Wu’s emotional fluctuations.

“Let me explain the basic situation of the Fighting God, to ensure you understand.”

Su Wen looked at Zi Wu and continued, “The current Fighting God is merely at the king level.”

“So we don’t need to make it complicated with strategies and forced killings.”

“The simplest way is that when I chat with the Fighting God later, I will call you out, and you can spend some time talking with him.”

“Then, I’ll lift your seal, and under my suppression, with just your explosive aura or a soul-level confrontation, you’ll be able to slay the king-level Fighting God.”

Zi Wu: “……”

This was all already arranged?

What the heck?

The God of Martial Arts was so ruthless?

He was still a bit dazed.

From his perspective as a Demigod, the God of Martial Arts couldn’t possibly be unaware of the potential for the Fighting God to kill him in the future.

Or perhaps he had glimpsed some fate and discovered he might die at the hands of the Fighting God, which was why he wanted Zi Wu to slay him?

So… the God of Martial Arts wanted to use his hand to kill the Fighting God to avoid the resentment of other divine fate bearers?

Would he still be safe after killing the Fighting God?

Especially since his life and death were in the other’s hands; if he killed the Fighting God, the God of Martial Arts could just eliminate him right after, wouldn’t that make everyone happy?

“What’s wrong? You unwilling?”

Su Wen raised an eyebrow, displeased.

“It’s not that I am unwilling, but from a safety perspective, I find this action rather inappropriate.”

“Oh?”

“What if I slay the Fighting God, and the God of Martial Arts, just in case, decides to kill me?”

Zi Wu didn’t finish his sentence.

But he felt the God of Martial Arts should understand.

Of course, this was just an excuse he found; the key was that the Fighting God really couldn’t die.

If the Fighting God died, especially by his hand, then it would be over!

The Holy Spirit clan would undoubtedly perish!

“I swear by the name of the God of Martial Arts, and I can even swear by the God of Martial Arts’ divine status, that if you help me complete this task, I will never kill you.”

Su Wen declared earnestly, “I, the God of Martial Arts, as everyone knows, am the most trustworthy person!”
