Chapter 1843: Death to End All Troubles

Chu Chuyan and the others’ expressions changed. They wanted to run away, but the large golden hands seemed to envelop them like an invisible force field, making it hard for them to even breathe, let alone move. They finally understood that before a difference of absolute strength, fancy techniques were meaningless. They really wondered just how Ah Zu was able to fight against beings like this for so long.

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue also wanted to save them, but it was already too late. They could only watch as the pair of hands crashed down on the others. They only felt despair.

Suddenly, however, a trace of frigid light flew over like a fiery comet, smas.h.i.+ng into the great golden hands. The hands that had seemed like heaven’s judgment actually exploded on the spot! Only then did Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen quickly use the chance to bring the other women away.

Zhao Han didn’t chase after them; instead, he looked in the opposite direction in shock. Zu An was standing there with a huge bow in his hands. The bow had all kinds of mysterious and profound runes on it, and it seemed to carry an ancient and bleak aura. He could feel the devastating power contained within that bow even from far away.

“Fiend Emperor’s Sun Slaying Bow!” Zhao Han exclaimed, his eyes narrowing and his expression turning grave.

This guy had actually ended up getting his hands on the Fiend Emperor’s Sun Slaying Bow?! The Sun Slaying Bow was the symbol of the successive Fiend Emperors. The fact that he was able to become the Regent of the Fiend Races had already left people taken aback, and yet now, he even had the Sun Slaying Bow! What else remained of the Fiend Emperor’s possessions that Zu An hadn’t received?

“Your majesty has sharp insight, as expected. Why don’t we talk things over and stop all this?” Zu An asked. While listening to the libationer’s last words, he had also been watching the battle on this side. That was why he had been able to act promptly when Chu Chuyan and the others were in danger.

Zhao Han gave the libationer behind Zu An a look and could tell that he was already completely dead. He couldn't help but sigh and say, “I suppose. Hand over the Baopu Sutra and this emperor can spare your lives.”

Zu An asked, acting stunned, “Didn’t your majesty already take the Baopu Sutra?”

A hint of embarra.s.sment flashed across Zhao Han’s face as he replied, “That book was fake. This emperor was fooled!”

He thought about how carefully he had read it, as if it hid the secrets of the universe, and he had even tried all kinds of methods to decode it. However, once he cooled his head, he gradually realized that it wasn’t the true Baopu Sutra. It was nothing more than a book on ruling a nation. No wonder that woman Jing Teng had been so calm when he took it.

“It isn’t that I don’t want to give it, but rather that the Baopu Sutra is with Miss Jing. She’s already in the great tomb, so your majesty can head to the great tomb for it yourself,” Zu An replied.

The other women had strange expressions. This guy’s lips really are meant for lying.

Zhao Han sneered and retorted, “You want to lie to this emperor? That great tomb has clearly already disappeared.” He had been fighting intensely against the libationer, but the disappearance of the great tomb had just created too great of a disturbance. There was no way he wouldn’t notice it.

Zu An sighed and asked, “Since your majesty knows that the great tomb has already disappeared, where would I go to find a Baopu Sutra?”

Zhao Han stared at him and said, “You and that woman were so close, she definitely has to have given you the Baopu Sutra.”

“She only did that to fool the Ghost King; the Baopu Sutra is precious. Why would she possibly give it to me?” Zu An replied with a sincere expression.

“Heh.” Zhao Han’s gaze swept over Chu Chuyan’s group as he said, “I might have believed that if it were someone else, but your skill in getting women is too brilliant. That Jing Teng is probably already devoted to you. Who else would she give the Baopu Sutra to, if not you?”

When his eyes swept over her, even Yan Xuehen couldn't help but blush. Even though they were enemies, the women couldn't help but feel a kind of mutual sympathy. This d.a.m.n emperor really understands Zu An too well.

Zu An’s face heated up. He had already tried his best to hide it, but he hadn’t expected to be unable to in the end.

When he saw Zu An remain silent, Zhao Han shouted, “What, could it be that you would sacrifice the lives of so many women for the sake of a trifling book?”

If it were him, all of these women added together wouldn’t even be as important as that book. However, this kid Zu An was different from other cultivators. He didn’t think of cultivation as the most important thing, and instead clung to senseless romance. There was no way he would abandon these women.

However, Zu An had a strange expression as he retorted, “Just where did your majesty get so much confidence? Do you believe you can still use their lives to threaten me in this kind of situation?”

“Oh? Do you truly believe that just because this emperor is injured, all of you added together have the qualifications to properly face me?” Zhao Han replied, raising a brow. He spread out his arms, and a jade ruler’s seal appeared in his palm. He tossed it toward the air above the women, calling out, “Go!”

The jade seal grew larger and larger. Eventually, it crashed down on the girls like a meteor.

Divine Weapon: Human Emperor Seal!

Even before the attack arrived, the powerful and boundless intent of the emperor had already spread out in all directions.

If the emperor’s land was beneath the heavens, they were all the ruler’s subjects.

The entire place seemed to have been sealed and impossible to escape. The women could only watch as the Human Emperor Seal crashed down, awaiting the emperor’s ruling. Yan Xuehen’s Snowflake Sword, Yun Jianyue’s Crescent Ring… Their weapons were all shaking and trembling. It was clear that they couldn't hold on against the might of a divine weapon.

Suddenly, a streak of sword radiance flashed past. A dignified ki field suddenly descended from midair, weakening the emperor’s intent. When the women looked up, they saw that it was Zu An’s Tai’e Sword.

The Tai’e Sword quickly clashed with the Human Emperor Seal. The two weapons struck each other back and forth in midair. It was hard to tell which one would come out on top.

Zhao Han exclaimed in surprise, “Hm? You haven't even reached the grandmaster rank, so why are you able to control a sword with your soul?”

Zu An thought, Why would I tell you that there’s a living person inside of my sword?

Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen exchanged a look. They ordered their disciples to stay a bit farther away while starting to attack Zhao Han again. They said, “Ah Zu, we’ll stall him. Use the Sun Slaying Bow and strike when there’s an opportunity!”

At the moment, Zhao Han was held up by a divine weapon. The two of them had experienced the Xia Dynasty’s secret dungeon and gained a lot of insights from that experience. They were already at the very peak of grandmaster rank and only a single step from the earth immortal rank. If they worked together, holding up a seriously wounded Zhao Han wasn’t too difficult.

Zu An could thus prepare the bow and wait for an opportunity to deliver a lethal blow to Zhao Han. Even if he never fired it, just the fact that the threat was there would keep Zhao Han in check.

When he saw two powerful lights flicker near him, as if they weren’t going to hold anything back anymore, Zhao Han remarked with a mocking expression, “You’re going to hold me down?” As soon as he said that, he vanished. A second later, he appeared behind Zu An. His fingers formed a claw and struck at the middle of Zu An’s back.

The Sun Slaying Bow was indeed a divine weapon, but it was still a bow, so it was stronger the farther away its user was. It didn’t excel at close combat. Zhao Han knew that Zu An’s true expertise lay in the sword, and that he had a divine sword; that was why he had deliberately used the Human Emperor Seal to draw away that weapon.

Sure enough, in order to save those women, Zu An had used the Tai’e Sword to stop the Human Emperor Seal. Meanwhile, now he only had a bow that wasn’t good at close combat. He was but a swordsman without his sword.

When he saw Zu An fall into his plot step by step, Zhao Han grinned. He hadn’t been the strongest in the world from the start and had to grow to this level. His fighting experience and strategy were also first-rate.

However, a second later, his smile froze, because Zu An vanished from before his eyes and appeared a hundred meters away.

“A spatial-type instant movement skill? Unfortunately, it’s meaningless before me,” Zhao Han said with a snort. He took a step, and appeared in front of Zu An again.

Zu An used Grandgale again, and Zhao Han also crossed over s.p.a.ce. The two chased after each other, both turning out to be surprisingly evenly matched.

Chu Chuyan and the other women had worried expressions. They knew that Zu An had the Grandgale skill, but they also knew that there was a cooldown with each use, and that it couldn't be used continuously forever. If this continued, he would eventually be on the losing end.

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue were more decisive. They rushed over to help Zu An. Zhao Han was injured, after all. Crossing through s.p.a.ce wouldn’t be as easy for him as it was normally. The two women soon found a chance to stop him for an instant. As soon as they were struck flying, Zu An already made a bowstring-drawing motion and condensed a formless arrow. As soon as he released the bow, the arrow instantly appeared in front of Zhao Han a moment later. It even locked down the s.p.a.ce around him, preventing him from escaping.

This was the power of the divine weapon, the Sun Slaying Bow!

Helpless to do anything else, Zhao Han could only face it directly. A fist smashed down on that arrow. A burst of light flashed, and the arrow condensed from nothingness vanished; however, Zhao Han’s figure also staggered, his complexion pale.

He sneered and remarked, “You have a Sun Slaying Bow but no Sun Slaying Arrows. How could you hope to injure this emperor?”

Despite what he said, he knew that even though he wouldn’t fear such an attack at his peak, in his current state, this Sun Slaying Bow still posed a certain degree of threat. If he allowed Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue to hold him back from the front while this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d Zu An continued to fire vicious arrows from behind, things would become really troublesome for him in the long run.

When he realized that, he thought of something. He took a step and moved over to Chu Chuyan’s group. A pair of large hands grabbed at them.

Brat, you might have your instant movement skill to dodge, but I refuse to believe that these women have one too!

As long as he could use them as hostages, he would have Zu An, Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen completely in check.

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue’s expressions instantly changed. Zhao Han could completely disregard s.p.a.ce, so they couldn't save their disciples at all. They knew that Zu An couldn't make it in time either!

Zhao Han was about to succeed when someone suddenly shouted.

“Your wife is so f*cking great!”
