Chapter 1402 Champion Marquis
“It does look a bit familiar… like I’ve seen it somewhere before,” Baili Pangpang pondered thoughtfully.
Lin Qiye seemed to recall something, took a deep breath, and slowly said:
“The Fourth King Ruin, [Emperor of Dominance].”
“Yes, yes, yes, [Emperor of Dominance]! He can control both ‘mysteries’ and human bodies, that kid Wuquan had exactly the same ability back then!” Baili Pangpang nodded repeatedly.
“Wasn’t this supposed to be an extremely rare King Ruin? Besides Wuquan… it seems only the Champion Marquis Huo Qubing from back then had this King Ruin, right?” Cao Yuan frowned slightly, “Then… where did this [Emperor of Dominance] come from?”
An Qingyu pushed his glasses up, his expression somewhat complicated:
“The successive Commanders-in-Chief can rely on soul techniques to survive within the national fortune until today. Is it possible that the one down there is…”
Hearing An Qingyu’s reminder, everyone seemed to realize something, their eyes gradually widening!
At the same time, Yue Huai, whose body was being controlled and suspended in mid-air, also seemed to realize something and exclaimed:
“[Emperor of Dominance]?! Are you Huo Qubing?!!”
Whoosh—!
Boom—!!
Under the dim sky, that blood-stained ferocious spear fell like a meteor, crashing onto the ground with a thunderous impact, and a fierce wind instantly swept through the entire valley!
A majestic, deep voice slowly echoed throughout the valley:
“What vermin dares to covet my Great Xia’s national fortune?”
The moment he heard this voice, Yue Huai’s heart sank to the bottom.
It really was him?!
Yue Huai had been at the human ceiling level for over a decade and carried the Divine Ruin of that person. He was very confident in his own strength. Even if all the human ceiling experts in today’s world were gathered together, he was confident he would rank in the top three. Even when facing a major god’s pursuit, he was confident he could escape unscathed… but ironically, he now had to face Huo Qubing!
The first Chief of the Demon Suppression Bureau, the first generation [Emperor of Dominance], humanity’s first ceiling expert, the Champion Marquis renowned through countless ages… Huo Qubing!
He was the starting point of humans matching gods with mortal bodies, and also the earliest origin of the Night Watchers of later generations. If not for the congenital defect brought by the [Emperor of Dominance], he would absolutely have been the first person in history to achieve godhood!
With just one move, his opponent had taken control of the entire Mojialuo clan, and even his own body was under the other’s ‘dominance’, yet he hadn’t even seen the other’s shadow.
No matter how confident Yue Huai was in his own strength, he absolutely did not believe he could be a match for this person.
Escape!
He could only escape!
Huo Qubing’s appearance extinguished all of Yue Huai’s fighting spirit. He gritted his teeth, and several black lotus flowers floated out from his sleeve, attaching themselves to his limbs and the center of his forehead.
These black lotus petals were some unknown items. With a flash of dark light, Yue Huai’s form actually forcibly broke free from the [Emperor of Dominance]’s effect and sped like lightning toward the outside of the valley.
“Did this Marquis say you could leave?”
The majestic voice sounded again.
Clang—!
The moment the words fell, the spear embedded in the ruins transformed into a streak of light, closely pursuing Yue Huai’s figure.
The spear tore through the sky, emitting a deafening roar, catching up to Yue Huai in an instant. Precise spear rays shot out one after another, shattering the five black lotus petals attached to Yue Huai’s body!
Yue Huai’s pupils contracted sharply!
These black lotuses were items given to him by that person years ago, and could be considered divine artifacts in a sense, yet they were so easily shattered?
Without the protection of the black lotuses, that familiar sense of dominance surged through Yue Huai’s body again. He felt his body becoming heavier bit by bit, but at this critical moment, he had no choice but to fight desperately.
Yue Huai roared in anger, unleashing all his mental power, his speed reaching the extreme.
Since all these souls could only exist by relying on national fortune, as long as he left this island, without the support of national fortune, they would not be able to pursue him. Without using national fortune to wage a battle of fate, this island was a prison for all of them!
Yue Huai believed that for the sake of a mere fleeing human ceiling expert like himself, they would not expend such an enormous amount of national fortune to initiate a battle of fate.
In other words, as long as he left this island before his body was completely dominated, he still had hope of escape!
As the coastline gradually enlarged in his sight, the light in Yue Huai’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
His figure swept past the edge of the island, shooting straight into the sea!
The smile at the corner of Yue Huai’s mouth suddenly froze.
Even after leaving the island, the power of the [Emperor of Dominance] continued to control his body…
He had overlooked one thing.
The fact that Huo Qubing could not leave this island did not mean that his Divine Ruin could only cover this island.
Without leaving this island, Tang Yusheng’s ability could extend to the sea dozens of miles away to catch fish for Lin Qiye and the others, so how vast must the coverage of Huo Qubing’s [Emperor of Dominance] be?
“Damn it…” Yue Huai felt his body gradually becoming heavier, his expression extremely ugly.
At the same time, the churning seawater below suddenly surged skyward, thick columns of water rushing toward the sky!
Yue Huai felt his vision blur, the starry sky and ocean inverting in his perspective. Endless seawater poured down from above, and a white-robed figure holding a halberd slowly walked through the air.
“Yue Huai.” Tang Yusheng narrowed his eyes, fierce killing intent sweeping out wildly,
“It’s time to settle our score…”
More than forty years ago, Yue Huai had schemed to ambush Baize. Although Tang Yusheng was just a child who understood nothing at the time, it didn’t mean the matter was over.
From Li Kengqiang’s account, he had long known the truth of that year. During his years as the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watchers, he had constantly sent people to search for Yue Huai’s whereabouts, wanting to take revenge, but by then the Ancient God Church had already grown powerful, and this behind-the-scenes mastermind had disappeared from public view, becoming the deepest shadow of the Ancient God Church.
The vengeance for his mother’s murder remained unfulfilled in life, but now as a heroic spirit, he encountered Yue Huai again.
This time, he would kill Yue Huai no matter what!
…
Deep within the island.
In the surging flow of Great Xia’s national fortune, Huo Qubing, sitting cross-legged in the center, made a slight sound of surprise, opened his eyes, his expression somewhat puzzled.
“Tang Yusheng and him, they have a grudge?”
Gongyangwan, who was waiting at the side, promptly spoke up: “Tang Yusheng’s mother, who was the only Baize in Great Xia at that time, was killed by him.”
Huo Qubing’s brow slightly relaxed as he casually waved his hand and said indifferently, “If that’s the case, let him end this karmic connection with his own hands…”
