Free Web NovelChapter 1953: Chapter 1942: An Awkward Predicament
Trapped within Tiger Hill, Ao Cangsheng knew he couldn’t leave.
At the moment, his mind was level, and the purple and black light poured out.
When the strange light surged into the void, an unprecedented aura of terror and death suddenly enveloped the entire void.
Gu Jianfeng felt fear and squinted his eyes.
He thought Ao Cangsheng was a powerful person.
But now it seemed, Ao Kangsheng’s prowess far exceeded his estimation.
In the blink of an eye, three splendid Life Palaces appeared above Ao Cangsheng’s head.
"Five-star Palace!"
Seeing the stars within Ao’s Life Palace, Gu Jianfeng’s face went slack in surprise once more.
However, Gu Jianfeng’s astonishment was far from over, and he was completely stupefied.
Because the Life Palace, which originally flashed with five stars, suddenly transformed.
In a flash, the splendor of the three Life Palaces reappeared, their prestige resurgent.
In an instant, the Emperor with only five stars became six stars. The remaining two Life Palaces simultaneously became seven-star and eight-star.
"Boom—"
When the three Life Palaces were fully unleashed, the mansion beneath their feet suddenly collapsed into ruins.
"How is it possible? How can you open such a terrifying Life Palace?"
Gu Jianfeng murmured as if in a daze, his face full of shock.
"Kill!"
Seeing Gu Jianfeng confused, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but move.
At this moment, this man was simply too strong. In direct combat, Ao Kangsheng knew he had half a chance.
Gu Jianfeng’s loss of composure gave him the best opportunity to strike.
In an instant, Ao Cangsheng drank a large gulp of wine, and the three Life Palaces collapsed at once.
Simultaneously, eight Dragon Shadow Beasts rushed forth in the most powerful stance, pouncing to kill Gu Jianfeng.
"Boom—"
Suspended in mid-air, Gu Jianfeng was struck down directly by the eight Dragon Shadow Beasts, the noise earth-shaking.
With one strike hitting, Ao Cangsheng dared not give Gu Jianfeng a chance to breathe. As the stance changed, the eight Dragon Shadow Beasts killed him again.
Suddenly attacked by Ao Cangsheng, Gu Jianfeng found himself in an awkward situation.
This strike, though powerful, did no harm to Gu Jianfeng.
Just as Gu Jianfeng steadied himself, Ao Cangsheng’s second attack arrived head-on.
Seeing this, Gu Jianfeng couldn’t help but coldly laughed.
In the next moment, his five fingers spread, and thousands of sword lights erupted in the void.
"Ten thousand swords gather dust, control!"
With Gu Jianfeng’s soft drink, sword lights suddenly raced down, forming a giant cage that trapped Ao Cangsheng and the eight Dragon Shadow Beasts inside.
Gu Jianfeng wasn’t angry about Ao Cangsheng’s impoliteness.
He smiled, touching the bloody Sword Shadow with his right hand, saying: "Honestly, I hesitate to kill you like this."
"But as an enemy, I find no reason not to kill you."
"Then why don’t you do it?"
Ao Cangsheng looked at Gu Jianfeng with disgust and coldly asked.
He knew that with Gu Jianfeng’s power, if he wanted to kill him at this moment, just one thought would suffice.
Gu Jianfeng hung in the void, his face returned. "Youngster, a genius like you, seeking death is not your goal."
"What do you want?"
Ao Cangsheng had become wary. Even though he was trapped, he never abandoned the thought of fighting back.
Gu Jianfeng chuckled, saying: "Since you can perform the Secret of the Beast God, it means you’ve inherited the Water Dragon King."
"My request is not high. As long as you hand over the Secret of the Beast God, I’ll let you leave Sword Soul Mountain safely today. How about it?"
"You’re dreaming!"
Ao Cangsheng didn’t even think. It was crisp.
"Kid, don’t be so quick to reject me. I know you don’t fear death, but don’t you care about your lover’s safety?"
Gu Jianfeng’s voice fell, and Ao Cangsheng’s face suddenly changed.
Gu Jianfeng’s meaning was clear. If Ao Cangsheng didn’t hand over the Secret of the Beast God, they would start to strike soft and comfortable.
"Beast! If you dare deal with Luo’er, I’ll never let you go!"
In his heart, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but curse.
Gu Jianfeng sneered, directly ignoring Ao Cangsheng’s threats. "Kid, I wasn’t afraid of you when you were alive. Do you think I’m afraid of you now that you’re dead?"
Ao Cangsheng’s chest heaved with aura, momentarily speechless to retort.
Gu Jianfeng continued, "If you don’t want your beloved to suffer unfortunate demise, you should hand over the ’Secret of the Beast God’ obediently."
"Otherwise, I assure you you’ll see your beloved die before you perish!"
"Don’t you dare!"
Ao Cangsheng’s eyes reddened, and suddenly, he roared, nearly losing his mind.
"Do you dare or not!"
Gu Jianfeng sneered, as if watching a monkey show, observing Ao Cangsheng’s manner.
"Bang—"
Ao Cangsheng, who had been standing still, suddenly went berserk.
With the power of the three terrifying palaces, he began using wild tactics to attack Gu Jianfeng’s territory.
In a flash, thunderous booms resounded throughout the entire space and land.
Hearing the earth’s rumbling, many on Jianhun Mountain looked surprised toward the mansion’s direction.
However, Jianhun Mountain Palace had many pavilions, and they couldn’t see what was happening there.
In another mansion, Shui Luzhu was waiting softly for Ao Cangsheng’s return.
But with the rumbling, her calm heart began to pound frantically.
Although she didn’t know what happened to Ao Cangsheng, she seemed to sense the danger Ao Cangsheng faced.
Shui Luzhu got startled, and Zi Moye and Feng Miao suddenly entered her mansion.
Later, Zi Moye and Feng Miaoyu also learned about Ao Cangsheng being summoned by Jianhun Mountain’s master.
"Young lady, I’m confused. I want to find Cangsheng."
As that sense of fear gradually grew, soft Shui suddenly gripped her red lips tightly.
Upon hearing this, Zi Moye frowned. "Miss Shui, don’t worry. Since Brother Ao was summoned by Jianhun Mountain’s master, it shouldn’t be dangerous."
"Think about it. If Jianhun Mountain’s master truly wanted to put Brother Ao in a difficult position, why wait until now? It’s more convenient to start from the Sword Soul Road!"
"Furthermore, we are guests of Jianhun Mountain. Without the master’s summon, it’s disrespectful and impossible to meet Jianhun Mountain’s master."
"I’ll wait at the door. If brother Ao doesn’t return in half an hour, I’ll go to Sword Soul Mountain to find him!"
After hearing Zi Moye’s words, in the soft and comfortable Shui, panic subsided, the water slightly calmed down.
But that sense of fear lingered in her heart, even with Zi Moye’s comfort, it remained undissipated.
"Kid, do you have any good ideas? My requirement is simple. As long as you hand over the Secret of the Beast God, your beloved won’t die, and you can leave Sword Soul Mountain greatly."
"Do you really need to consider such a straightforward choice for this long? If I were you, I’d surely choose to hand over the Secret of the Beast God. After all, it’s just an external thing!"
Seeing Ao Cangsheng quiet for a long time, Gu Jianfeng tried soothing Ao Cangsheng again.
Yet, for Gu Jianfeng’s sweet talk, Ao Cangsheng only regarded him coldly.
If Ao Cangsheng were inferior to other beasts, how could he believe his sweet talk?
If he himself swapped with Gu Jianfeng, if Gu Jianfeng showed such talent, he couldn’t let him return to the mountain.
Otherwise, just as Gu Jianfeng claimed.
At this moment, Ao Cangsheng suddenly envied an eagle.
Though its life might not last as long as his own, its life was so free and unfettered.
Watching the eagle for a long time, Ao Cangsheng suddenly laughed.
