King of Assassins

Chapter 1244: Chapter 754: Returning to the Essence_2

The two monks are so troublesome; they should go find Xiong Wuji. Given Xiong Wuji’s domineering nature, the two sides are bound to turn hostile and start fighting. Then he can just enjoy the spectacle, which would be delightful.

However, for the past few hundred years, Xiong Wuji has vanished. Who knows what he’s busy with?

The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor felt a flicker of doubt in his heart, but he didn’t pay it much mind. Regardless, it had nothing to do with him. He refused to believe anyone would dare cause trouble on his turf!

"Xiong Wuji..."

Yuan Xiang thought for a moment and said, "I would appreciate if Your Majesty could indicate the location of Wuji Palace."

"That’s easy."

The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor tossed Yuan Xiang a token with a wave of his hand, "Wuji Order, you can naturally find Wuji Palace with this token."

The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor waved his hand dismissively, "I need to complete the grand task with my consorts, so I won’t keep you two."

Yuan Xiang accepted the Wuji Order, his mind sinking as he sensed a stable spatial link within the token, confirming its true guiding function.

He smiled slightly at the Nine-Colored Deer Emperor, joined his hands in salute, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your assistance."

"No need for formalities, just remember to close the doors when you leave..."

The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor pulled a plump female demon close, already impatient to act.

Yet Yuan Xiang remained motionless, his smile fading from his face, "Your Majesty, I have already thanked you for your help to me, the humble monk. However, we have yet to settle the account of your mocking and insulting of me."

The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor’s expression shifted as he looked deeply at Yuan Xiang, "Old monk, you’re planning to turn hostile after using me?"

He sneered, "I’m not underestimating you, but do you have the skill?"

The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor was truly furious; he had treated them courteously, yet these two monks intended to turn against him after using him. Arrogant and malicious, they were utterly detestable.

Had it not been for concerns over the Ten Suffering Bodhisattva, he would have already turned hostile.

Yuan Xiang said calmly, "Your Majesty is correct, acting here truly makes me no match for you. However, my young junior can easily annihilate Your Majesty."

He then continued earnestly, "I forgot to introduce; my young junior’s Dharma name is Jin Xiang, known as Vajra King."

The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor showed a confused expression, "I have heard of the Ten Dharma Kings from your Ten Sufferings Sect for a long time. How could this young monk be one of the Ten Dharma Kings?"

"Ten Dharma Kings rotate among disciples of our respected masters, not fixed. It’s not surprising that you didn’t know."

Yuan Xiang explained and then joined his hands in salute again, "Your Majesty, farewell."

The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor erupted into anger, the old monk excessively bullied the demon. Today, even at the cost of his entire empire, he would see the old monk dead to vent his anger.

The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor was naturally carefree, doing as he wished. Yuan Xiang’s arrogance had truly infuriated him.

He leapt from the wooden bed and, with a reach of his hand, held a Nine-Colored Deer Horn Halberd.

This Deer Horn Halberd was refined from his own antlers, infused with the Nine Yang Essence Secret Technique; it was his strongest Earth Artifact.

As a Nine-Colored Deer, he naturally possessed Supreme Yang Power. The Nine Yang Essence Secret Technique further elevated his Supreme Yang Power to the pinnacle.

Because of this, he needed to mingle daily with female demons to balance his Supreme Yang Power.

Without the Yin power adjustment from these female demons, he would eventually be burnt to death by his Supreme Yang Power.

Of course, this process of Yin and Yang adjustment was extraordinarily pleasurable. The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor was also lost in it, unable to extricate himself.

Hateful are the two monks who came here, not only rude but also intent on killing him. How could he tolerate it?

Once the Nine-Colored Deer Horn Halberd was raised, myriad techniques of Luding Mountain were naturally invoked, with endless Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth continuously gathering towards the Nine-Colored Deer Horn Halberd.

Feeling the vast and mighty forces between heaven and earth, the Nine-Colored Deer Emperor also felt a surge of heroism, contemplating how to stab these two monks to death with a single halberd.

His gaze swept over Jin Xiang, and he felt the female monk was quite appealing. Unfortunately, he dared not hold back against such a strong adversary.

Using the Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth driven by the Nine-Colored Deer Horn Halberd, he could only guide it but couldn’t truly control it.

Thus, this kind of power could only be used for combat, as destruction required no reservations.

With this realization, the Nine-Colored Deer Emperor felt a surge of murderous intent, thrusting the Nine-Colored Deer Horn Halberd fiercely at Jin Xiang.

This halberd mobilized the Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth across hundreds of millions of miles of Luding Mountain. As it struck, the colors of the heavens changed, and wind and thunder erupted.

Such formidable might made Yuan Xiang, who was watching, change color in shock.

These Demon Emperors who dominated their respective regions, though wielding crude power, were extremely fierce. Their guidance of Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth was also extraordinarily wild and difficult to match.

In the Central Province, Earth Immortals would precisely control every bit of power, though delicate in technique, their grandeur couldn’t compare to these Demon Emperors.

Now, will my junior be able to withstand this strike?

Yuan Xiang had great confidence in Jin Xiang, but having witnessed the earth-shattering might of the Nine-Colored Deer Horn Halberd, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

Facing the Nine-Colored Deer Horn Halberd, Jin Xiang simply punched forward. When the fist edge clashed with the halberd blade, the Nine-Colored Deer Horn Halberd instantly shattered and broke. The endless Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth on the halberd blade was disintegrated and collapsed by this punch.

Such fierce and unparalleled power shook the Nine-Colored Deer Emperor’s entire body, his Divine Soul intimidated by Jin Xiang’s unrivaled fist power, unable to operate.

The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor was terrified to the extreme, yet he couldn’t control a single ounce of power. He could only watch helplessly as Jin Xiang’s fist edge directly impacted his chest.

The Nine-Colored Deer Emperor was instantly blasted into a cloud of blood, spreading with the fist power until the entire Luding Palace silently collapsed.

Even the magnificent Luding Mountain couldn’t withstand the clash of two supreme powers, immediately shattering and exploding.

In what seemed to be an instant, countless dust clouds flew across all directions. The shockwaves triggered by Luding Mountain continuously spread outward along the thick earth.

This level of earthquake was utterly destructive to ordinary life. Even a Celestial Tribulation-level Great Demon, if situated in the center of the power explosion, would be directly crushed into smithereens by the endless power.
