Free Web NovelChapter 740: Chapter 299: Lack of Guardians? (Part 2)
A muffled boom sounded as the Blood Pill exploded, scattering the soul.
"Too late!"
Jiang Shi’s voice rang out, his gaze lifting to lock onto Emperor Great Heng, his entire figure had vanished once again.
The face of Emperor Great Heng was etched with terror, fleeing for his life as fast as he could.
He could hardly imagine that Jiang Shi had grown to such an extent.
Even though he had repeatedly overestimated Jiang Shi, he hadn’t expected him to be capable of killing a Half-Saint!
A Half-Saint is also a Saint!
Anything related to the word Saint is beyond ordinary imagination.
How could Jiang Shi accomplish this?
"Emperor Great Heng, originally, the Celestial Demon Sect and your kind have always minded their own business, but you insisted on extending your claws to the Celestial Demon Sect. I only intended to teach you a lesson, yet you took it seriously and secretly sought experts to kill me. Now, even if I wanted to let you go, it’s impossible, accept your fate!"
Jiang Shi’s voice suddenly echoed in Emperor Great Heng’s mind.
"No, Jiang Shi, everything is negotiable. I’m a member of the [Thousand Tribulations Sect], spare me, and I can ensure the [Thousand Tribulations Sect] won’t bother you anymore. I know of a major secret the [Thousand Tribulations Sect] needs your blood for. Let me go, and I’ll tell you this major secret..."
Emperor Great Heng shouted in panic.
He was terribly afraid of dying.
Having lived for thousands of years, he had become accustomed to the bustling world of mortals, having finally waited for a chance at revival, how could he die now?
However, Jiang Shi was not willing to listen to him. A large hand, carrying an extremely terrifying power, swiftly approached Emperor Great Heng’s body.
"No!"
Emperor Great Heng screamed, doing his utmost to resist, but it was of no use.
With a bang, he was slapped to death by Jiang Shi, his body shattered, and a mist of blood appeared. Then, his severed body parts were all burnt to ashes by the Purple Demon Evil Fire.
Jiang Shi grasped Emperor Great Heng’s soul, his eyes turning cold, and said, "The [Thousand Tribulations Sect] needs my blood?"
"Yes, spare me, spare me!"
Emperor Great Heng spoke in panic, "Let me go, and I’ll tell you that major secret right away!"
"No need, I’ll see for myself!"
Jiang Shi’s [Soul Devouring Talent] was instantly activated, and a powerful and terrifying attraction emerged from his palm, causing Emperor Great Heng to emit a shrill scream as he was rapidly devoured.
In an instant, various recent memories of Emperor Great Heng emerged in Jiang Shi’s mind.
Jiang Shi remained motionless, pondering, as if watching a slideshow.
After a long time.
His brows furrowed.
"Thousand Demon Cave? The [Thousand Tribulations Sect] actually needs my blood to open the Thousand Demon Cave?"
This Thousand Demon Cave seals a thousand demons, and all the beings within are extremely terrifying demons from ancient times. Over time, some have died, but others remain stubbornly alive.
They howl wretchedly within the Thousand Demon Cave, assaulting the seal day and night, constantly wishing to emerge in this world.
To open the Thousand Demon Cave, besides needing various rare natural treasures, there is an even more important key.
It’s the blood of the Innate Vajra!
Meng Fang of the Meng Family, they dared not target him, so they turned their attention to me instead.
"This is trouble, if targeted by the [Thousand Tribulations Sect] for this matter, there will be no peace in the future."
Jiang Shi’s heart surged.
Currently, the Ancient Saints are constrained by covenants and cannot easily appear, but if he continues to resist, perhaps some Ancient Saints might no longer be able to preside.
More importantly.
He’s not an Innate Vajra at all.
Even if they used his blood, it would be of no use.
But even if he spoke out this truth, nobody would believe him.
For all this time, everyone’s impression of him has been that of an Innate Vajra.
Even Meng Fang thinks he’s the second Innate Vajra.
"Emperor Great Heng, you’ve truly brought me a colossal trouble!"
Jiang Shi’s face turned gloomy as he turned to leave.
Inside and outside the city, uproar had already erupted.
Countless discussions buzzed like swarms of bees.
No matter whether they were of the Alien Race or the Human Race, their hearts were filled with shock.
Undoubtedly, Jiang Shi’s reputation had soared once again.
Fighting a Half-Step Saint, such an achievement was destined to shake all of Great Heng.
"Everyone, at the East Sea Shore, the Gate of the Fallen Emperor has appeared!!"
Suddenly, a panicked voice came from a member of the Alien Race, saying, "Hurry to the East Sea?"
A roar!
The sound echoed, and everyone first paused, then instantly erupted in a clamor.
"What did you say? The Gate of the Fallen Emperor has appeared?"
"Is it true or false? How can this be possible?"
"How can the Gate of the Fallen Emperor appear so suddenly?"
"Since when is this news?"
...
Figures rushed into excitement.
A lot of people immediately took action, dashing into the distance.
Even Lian Aotian, Jiao Yuan, and Ao Yan were astonished, incredulous, then they exchanged glances and quickly pursued Jiang Shi’s direction.
Before long.
Jiang Shi heard the news from them, and his brows furrowed.
"The Gate of the Fallen Emperor has appeared?"
"Yes, it was recently passed on. Does the lord wish to take a look?"
Lian Aotian hurriedly said.
Today, they had completely submitted to Jiang Shi, no longer daring any schemes.
"Have you confirmed the news?"
Jiang Shi asked.
"This... not yet, but since someone dared to spread such information, it is likely true."
Lian Aotian’s expression changed.
"Legend has it that inside the Gate of the Fallen Emperor, there are heaven-defying opportunities, and an Ancient Emperor once perished within, leaving behind the Emperor’s Dao Inheritance. It’s something even Divine Spirits would go crazy for, but Great Heng today can no longer contain Divine Spirits, so there’s no need to regard them. Before any Ancient Saints arrive, moving now is the most opportune time."
