King Liuli of Wu Dynasty was a trusted subordinate and bosom friend of Emperor Wolf. He would never be what he was today without Emperor Wolf. Their friendship was beyond life and death. Emperor Wolf was his benefactor and his master. Now Emperor Wolf had been beaten to death by Zhou Bao right in front of him. How could he reign in his anger?
Grim-faced, Zhou Bao shot several Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi at King Liuli as the latter headed toward him. The Sword Qi soared. As he watched the Sword Qi, his face suddenly changed. The fatal spirit in Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword scared him into dodging it.
Zhou Bao was an unforgiving person. Now that he had a grudge against King Liuli, he wouldn’t let him walk away easily. Zhou Bao divided his Sword Qi and turned it into a storm of swords. That storm, emitting endless destructive spirit, scattered and flooded King Liuli.
King Liuli paled. He had to admit that Zhou Bao did have something to show off. Though King Liuli possessed the power of Genuine Immortal, he could not defeat the young man in front of him and this made him angry and helpless.
Asshole, go to hell!
King Liuli roared as though he had been driven to desperation by Zhou Bao. A thick cloud of black smoke puffed out of his mouth.
Initially, Zhou Bao didn’t take the black smoke seriously. He manipulated the Sword Qi of Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword and rushed forward to disperse the black smoke. But he didn’t expect that the invincible Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword would have no effect on it. The appearance of the smoke also coincided with a faint scent. Zhou Bao felt sudden dizziness overpowering him.
Poison?
Zhou Bao was startled. He was equipped with the Poison Cold Shield at the Pure Yang Realm. The core of the Poison Cold Shield was Poison-absorbing Green Bead and it was indestructible. He had met those who were skilled at poisoning, but none of them had been able to injure him. When he was attacked by poisonous substances, his Poison Cold Shield would be triggered automatically to absorb and refine the poisons. He had therefore never worried about being poisoned. This time, though Poison Cold Shield had been activated, it had been unable to completely neutralize the strong poison. Fortunately, Zhou Bao’s Mysterious Divine Light had been activated and picked up the slack by transferring the poison into Poison Cold Shield, preventing him from being poisoned.
Bang!
Just as Zhou Bao was surrounded by the poison gas and was busy refining it, a chilling light appeared and stung at Zhou Bao.
After King Liuli spit out the black smoke, he continued to attack. He took out a strange-looking bending saber that emitted a blue light. With the saber, he struck hard at Zhou Bao.
With King Liuli’s cultivation of Genuine Immortal and a bending saber at Pure Yang Celestial Device level, Zhou Bao was knocked into the air. Intense pain and prickling numbness from his wound overwhelmed him.
After King Liuli had injured Zhou Bao with his saber, he stopped his pursuit and attack of Zhou Bao. He dashed toward Yan Yuntian and cut Yan Yuntian with his saber.
Dang!
There was a loud crash. King Liuli’s attempt was foiled by the Flipping Sky Seal in front of Yan Yuntian. King Liuli rebounded off the Flipping Sky Seal.
No!
Seeing his saber cut on the Flipping Sky Seal, King Liuli didn’t feel right. When he was thrown into the air, his bending saber flashed and formed a curtain of blue light around him. This curtain, together with the protective Gang Qi, developed into a thick and solid barrier.
But how could it hinder the furious Zhou Bao?
Now that you are not going to hide, I will send you into oblivion!
Zhou Bao growled and raised his head, only to see that black-red Sword Qi had sliced the sky and cut hard on King Liuli with unparalleled power.
No–!
As the Sword Qi was about to touch his body, King Liuli finally felt that death was impending. He roared, but it was too late.
The Sword Qi broke his defense and cut his body into half, as if it was just cutting a thin piece of paper. Blood was all over the place. Meanwhile, the Sword Qi was scattered into innumerable tiny swords and formed a black-red flood of Sword Qi, which vaporized the remains of King Liuli.
Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast. Damn it. It was the Nine-headed Fierce Beast…
A Genuine Immortal failed to finish his words and his body melted into a puddle of turbid water in a short time, just like a burning candle.
It had taken two seconds when King Liuli had spread the black smoke, dashed to Yan Yuntian and was killed by Zhou Bao. That poisonous smoke had not dissipated yet and its weird scent spread slowly. As King Liuli was killed by Zhou Bao, the scent had reached another person and its reach did not stop there.
That Genuine Immortal had been only the first who was melted into turbid water. Soon, the effect was seen in others. In this moment, the entire Turtle Back Mountain was turned upside down. Many tried to resist this eccentric poison gas, but in vain.
The toxicity of the black smoke was extremely high. Zhou Bao could clearly see that it eroded everything in this place and they became dim and gray. Anything which touched that smoke was fused or simply died. There were many people near him who died.
Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast?
Zhou Bao had never heard this name. But at this point, he had already felt the greed of Poison-absorbing Green Bead.
The willpower was so strong that the Poison Cold Shield had activated itself and formed Green Mist around Zhou Bao. Amid this cyan mist, a pink substance cast an enchanting and overwhelming effect on all present.
This is — the Poison Cold Shield, a weapon of Pure Yang Celestial Device level. And it has even refined the Peach Blossom Miasma!
Most of those present were very experienced and were able to recognize the mist around Zhou Bao. They looked uncomfortable.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha…
At this point, a strange voice rose from the crowd,
Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast. It is the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast. Haha, God blesses me!
Before the voice died away, a black skull suddenly sliced the hollow and appeared in front of the black smoke. It opened its big mouth to devour the smoke.
This is mine!
Zhou Bao sneered and raised his hand. Flipping Sky Seal was activated to repress that black skull.
Kid, how dare you go against me?
The voice from the skull was as harsh as the rustling of sand.
Zhou Bao looked relentless,
It should be me saying that. How dare you make trouble in Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony? Even if I kill you, you deserve it!
While he talked, the gold light on Flipping Sky Seal shone brightly as it smashed on that black skull.
Boom, boom, boom, boom…
When Flipping Sky Seal collided with the skeleton, the crash sounded like a bronze drum being punched. Although the skeleton didn’t break, there were cracks on it. It wailed and then stepped back.
Kid, how dare you…
A roar rose. Chilly wind broke through the space and another black skull materialized.
Zhou Bao’s eyes looked ruthless. He threw a punch at that skull and yelled,
Damn, are you dead? This guy openly spoils the ceremony, and no one cares?
Boom!
The punch hit hard on the skull. Zhou Bao flew to Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast as if a withered leaf, looking grim. The Green Mist around him turned around and withdrew the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast.
Elder Yao, please be quiet!
As Zhou Bao withdrew the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast, Yu Taixu, who was standing aside, gently raised his hands. The two skulls were sent back to the hollow.
If you have any grievances, you can address them after the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony!
Yu Taixu continued to close his eyes after he finished his words. Elder Yao who had attacked just now, uttered no words.
In the field, after Poison Cold Shield had absorbed the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast, something changed inside it. But now it was not the time to practice it. Zhou Bao took a deep breath, withdrew Flipping Sky Seal back to his Dantian and then subdued Poison Cold Shield and Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast.
Meanwhile, in the battlefield, Atu Sage was in peril as he was being attacked by innumerable puppets. He could only defend and was unable to fight back. It would only be a matter of time before he met a gruesome death at their hands.
Seeing this, Zhou Bao chuckled. He didn’t help Atu Sage, instead, he took an ill-disposed look at Ashoka.
Ashoka was chilled by Zhou Bao’s glance. Thinking about Emperor Wolf who had his body smashed to pieces, he rose from the chair.
I quit. I quit the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony and will no longer attend the election campaign of next Human Emperor!
The cultivation of Ashoka was high enough. Even though Zhou Bao had suppressed all people here, Ashoka was able to make everyone hear every word he said.
Senior Grand Tutor Hong and Atu Sage also heard it. Atu Sage bent his body and vanished among the puppets. He then turned into a cloud of dark beam, broke the space and sullenly showed up in front of Ashoka. Atu Sage glanced at Zhou Bao, sighed but said no more, giving tacit acceptance of Ashoka’s choice.
One of the rules of Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony was that candidates who quit the selection would no longer be able to be involved in the ceremony.
Well then, there are only you and me left, Senior Grand Tutor Hong.
Seeing Peacock Dynasty quit the campaign, Zhou Bao gloated and turned to those puppets,
Let’s see who is the stronger one!
