Chapter 1140: A True King Arrives
Chapter 1140: A True King Arrives
Seeing this sight, everyone felt a chill rise up their feet, spreading along their backs and through their limbs, making them feel as if they had fallen into an icy lake.
Fear, uncontrollable and surging from the depths of their hearts, completely submerged their minds.
When 110 Foot Blood Column vanished, no one felt this. But they knew how strong Almost 200 Foot Blood Column was.
Such a strong person had vanished in the blink of an eye, without any more sounds coming out…the terror this represented was several times greater!
Blue Sea’s eyes darkened. He turned and looked at Seven Wounds Clan Elder. This old thing had no expression and just stood there like a motionless statue.
He cursed inwardly. What useless people. A group of powerhouses had actually been frightened by Cloud Boundless!
If not for that, killing Qin Yu wouldn’t be so troublesome…
The current situation wasn’t good. He looked up at the skies. The vortex was rapidly condensing – there wasn’t much time left.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, we must all kill Qin Yu now. If we fail in this, have you thought about the ramifications?”
Xi Mo glanced at him and spoke up, “If Qin Yu doesn’t die today, then once he returns from the ancestral land, that will be the day when everyone here will perish in both body and soul.”
The air fell silent. Unconstrained fear appeared in everyone’s eyes. There was no need to mull over such a simple matter. Just a warning was enough for them to understand everything.
If Qin Yu didn’t die…they would die!
Blue Sea’s tone deepened even further. “Of course, you won’t necessarily die. For instance, if your background is formidable enough that even the Nightmare King would feel dread, then perhaps you may survive.
“For instance, me. For instance, Xi Mo. We both represent the Ancient King’s Lineage and the New Faction. If we pay a certain price, we might live…but what about the rest of you?”
His complexion turned cold. “So if you don’t want to die, go all-out. Qin Yu’s strength absolutely has not reached the level where he could kill those two in an instant. If he can do this, he must have drawn support from some card that the Old King’s Lineage prepared for him.”
Xi Mo said, “None of us lack things like hidden cards. You should all be aware that such things cannot be used forever. For instance, the first person might have instantly vanished, but the second person had enough time to erupt with his aura.
“Qin Yu’s card might be weakening as we speak…and you don’t have to attack one at a time. If you join together to kill him, our previous pledge remains effective. I guarantee that the benefits, power, and influence of your families will be protected, and the third spot will be left for the rest of you to decide for yourselves!”
The two sang together, cooperating perfectly and causing the expressions of the remaining five other competitors to change again and again. Although they didn’t want to admit it, this was true…perhaps Blue Sea and Xi Mo could live, but they would die.
If they didn’t want to die, they could only risk their lives!
At the edge of the Chosen Platform, the various protectors paled. Anger lit up their eyes.
But since they had made their choice, there was no significance in regretting. They all stared at Cloud Boundless, trying to discern some information from his face.
“Humph! What are you all staring at me for? If you want to kill Qin Yu, those people are far from enough!” Cloud Boundless jeered before smugly laughing. He lightly glanced at everyone, “The new King’s throne is ours!”
Seven Wounds Clan Elder suddenly said, “Cloud Boundless, your current performance seems off.”
Cloud Boundless coldly sneered, looking at him but not speaking. The derision in his expression increased, as if he couldn’t deign to speak with him.
But this time, Seven Wounds Clan Elder wasn’t angry. Instead, he revealed a mysterious smile. “Everyone, with Cloud Boundless’ personality, what sort of performance would he show right now?
“According to what I know, if the Old King’s Lineage was truly confident in Qin Yu, then Cloud Boundless would definitely show a blank face with a trace of apprehension that was just enough to be discovered by us. And this would all be in order to trick the other competitors into continuing so that Qin Yu could gather all the juniors together and wipe them out in one stroke.”
As his voice fell, everyone’s eyes brightened. It was said that when it came to knowing someone, their opponent was definitely amongst those with the best understanding.
In these years, Seven Wounds Clan Elder had eaten innumerable losses from Cloud Boundless, both publicly and in the shadows.
Just now, Seven Wounds had been slammed into the floor in front of everyone and completely lost face.
So saying that there was bitter hatred between the two wasn’t going too far.
If such a Seven Wounds Clan Elder said this, it was worth contemplating. In addition to Cloud Boundless’ sinister performance…everyone suddenly became aware!
This was it, it had to be this!
Qin Yu had a card in hand, he had to have one. But, this card existed under some severe limit. For instance, the duration, or there was a restriction to use, or it weakened each time…
The channel was forming, and no one had an accurate timeline of when it would fully come into existence. So, no one could wait longer.
If Qin Yu entered, everything would lose significance. No one would be able to run away. They would just have to wait for Qin Yu to return from the ancestral land and then clean them up.
They could not wait, they had to fight!
They had to bet that Qin Yu’s card had some extreme limit…Xi Mo was right about one thing. The second person who entered the black fog was able to release his strength before he died…
This was evidence!
“Attack together!”
“Kill Qin Yu!”
“I don’t believe that you can still resist when they all join hands!”
The demon protectors roared out loud.
They had been chosen to ascend the Chosen Platform today. They were protectors but they also represented the will of their families. In critical times, they could make vital choices. For instance, now.
If someone from their families could capture the qualifications to enter the ancestral land, that meant they had the qualifications to succeed the throne.
Their statuses were different now and the protectors didn’t dare to casually give orders…but in this situation, they couldn’t care about such things.
If Qin Yu didn’t die, no one would have a chance!
The five competitors all revealed bitter expressions. If they had a choice, none of them would be willing to rush into the black fog and risk their lives.
But they clearly had no choice.
They could only risk it all!
“It’s not me! It’s not me! The one to die won’t be me!”
“Peh peh peh, bad luck be gone, good luck come to me!”
“I can survive, I will definitely survive!”
These were the thoughts wildly fluctuating in their hearts.
That’s right, in the eyes of these five competitors, what they had to bet on was their luck. They also believed Seven Wounds Clan Elder’s judgment. Qin Yu had a trump card, but this card wasn’t strong enough to kill all of them.
Otherwise, why was Qin Yu hiding in the black fog and pretending to be so mysterious? He could have just come out and killed them all.
Since his card wasn’t able to kill all of them, whether they lived or died would depend on their luck!
As for the likelihood that Qin Yu had no hidden card and was relying entirely on his own strength to kill others…hoho, that was simply impossible.
There was not even the tiniest bit of possibility!
All of them were Demon Commanders. Unless he had thoroughly stepped onto the path of the Nameless True King and had strength comparable to that of a true King, he could give up any idea of accomplishing that.
This was a paradox…if Qin Yu already had strength comparable to a true King, why would he need to go through so much trouble?
That’s right, this was simple reasoning. So what they needed the most right now was to have good luck.
Blue Sea said without expression, “Everyone, do not delay any further.” In the next moment, many eyes glared at him, threatening and sharp.
Bastard, the one risking his life isn’t you so stop spouting so much crap!
But just like Cloud Boundless realized before, if there was a time to go all out, there was no way to avoid it.
“Everyone, let’s attack together!”
“Qin Yu’s card might be strong, but it cannot deal with our combined attack!”
“Kill him and everything will return to normal!”
“Go!”
“Die!”
The five competitors might have known that there would be innumerable dangers after entering the Chosen Platform, but they never expected it would be so tragic and frigid to the point where they all had to risk their lives.
With loud roars, tyrannical fluctuations of strength erupted. Five figures blasted into the black fog from different directions.
It wasn’t that no one thought to play tricks. For instance, stepping into the black fog a little bit later.
But the key was that they weren’t the only ones on the Chosen Platform today.
The protectors saw everything happening from the edge of the battlefield. It was impossible for anyone here to fish in troubled waters. If anyone dared to play tricks and stay out, they would immediately be eliminated.
Rumble rumble –
The black fog instantly roiled, turning wild as the five competitors erupted with their complete strength without hesitation.
In the next moment, the black fog popped like a giant bubble.
Qin Yu sighed inwardly. Plans were only ever plans. Even if he didn’t want to expose himself, there was no other way.
He looked up. His eyes were pitch black like the endless night, capable of swallowing all!
“Abyssal Gaze!”
Seven Wounds Clan Elder screamed out loud. Because his emotions were fluctuating too fiercely, his voice came out sharp and high. His eyes widened as he stared at Qin Yu in abject disbelief.
At this moment, everyone on the Chosen Platform finally realized what Qin Yu’s card was.
Cloud Boundless felt as if he had taken a carriage to a mountain summit. After reaching the top, he plummeted all the way down. Although this description wasn’t too appropriate, it was still barely usable. He mumbled to himself, “That brat Cloud Mist was still concealing things from me…”
Outside the Chosen Platform, two figures flew high in the skies.
The Ancient King Patriarch took a deep breath, “Old King’s Lineage, what amazing methods!” Awakening the royal blood and awakening a royal bloodline that obtained the power of the King boundary were two entirely different levels.
Even he never imagined that Qin Yu could use the Abyssal Gaze.
He wasn’t a true King, but he had a portion of a true King’s might ahead of time…a variable was indeed a variable. It could never be anticipated with common sense.
The Old King Patriarch coughed several times, a ruddy look coming across his withered face. “The feeling is mutual. I’m also curious. Why did you choose Blue Sea?”
If he hadn’t interfered, it would have been impossible for Cloud Mist to completely conceal everything about Qin Yu. Even someone like Cloud Boundless had been kept in the dark.
“Humph!” The Ancient King Patriarch looked into the distance, “It seems that someone cannot wait any longer.”
The Old King Patriarch had a light expression, “The changing of the throne is a matter for my clan alone…it seems that someone has reached too far.”
Neither of them spoke again. These two old demons that had lived for an unknown number of years both had light shining in the depths of their eyes.
The ancestral land was the Nightmare Clan’s ancestral land. It was the foundation of their tribe. At the same time, it was a shadow that covered the entire Nightmare Clan.
Even they, who had spent numerous years bitterly trying, had never been able to unlock its secrets.
If someone wanted to demonstrate their existence, they might as well give them a chance…maybe there would be a harvest.
Bang –
A terrifying aura instantly arrived, galvanizing vast and powerful amounts of demonic energy to surge and howl. At that moment, this entire level of the abyss fiercely shook.
A true King had arrived!
