Chapter 1928: King of Kings
However, soon after, a voice exclaimed in surprise, “Why aren’t you affected by my domain?”
Meng Chan looked over in shock and happiness. She saw that the Meng clan’s great ancestor was standing nearby, safe and sound. Meanwhile, the body that had been struck became a paper doll that burned up into nothing.
I’m so glad that the great ancestor is fine!
Meng Chan immediately felt as if the sky had become a bit more colorful. Even so, she was a bit worried. The great ancestor’s voice seemed to be a bit less confident than before.
Weren’t you referring to yourself as ‘this old one’ just now? Why is it just ‘my’ now?
It was a substitution treasure!
Zu An was a bit surprised, but he then felt relieved. Zhao Han had had quite a few of these things when they fought, and that had given him quite a few headaches at the time.
This Meng Jing is one of the eight dukes and even the Meng clan’s great ancestor. It’s not too surprising for him to have similar life-saving treasures.
However, even someone like Zhao Han could only have so many. Other people would only have a single one at most.
“It’s just a shoddy domain. Why didn’t I see you using it to challenge the emperor back then?” Zu An asked nonchalantly.
He could feel that the surrounding air had become a bit more viscous due to the restriction of certain natural laws. However, with his current cultivation, he seemed to be able to easily break free of those laws. To a certain extent, he could sense that these laws were just too trivial. After all, he had witnessed higher and more terrifying ones.
Meng Jing choked. But he reacted quickly as well, retorting, “What an egotistical child! You dare to make a comparison to his majesty?!”
He didn’t dare to show any carelessness now. He reached out his hand, and a streak of dim light tore through the roof of the Meng clan’s ancestral hall. It flew straight into his hand, revealing the form of a blade.
When she saw that, Meng Chan was a bit moved. She exclaimed, “It’s the clan’s legendary blade!”
It was the immortal-grade weapon, the Bonewater Cleaver! It was the weapon of the Meng clan’s founder! When the founder perished, he had left his blade with the Meng clan, and it was subsequently enshrined in the ancestral hall for generation after generation. Over hundreds of years, the blade had only been used three times. In every instance, the Meng clan had used it to bring down a powerful foe. This would only be the fourth instance.
Meng Chan looked at Zu An with a conflicted expression.
If the great ancestor even took out this blade, could this man really be so powerful that not even the great ancestor has the confidence to take him down alone?
Meng Jing received the blade respectfully with both hands. His fingers gently brushed against its surface as he said, “Youngster, the fact that you will die by the Bonewater Cleaver is something to be extremely proud of.”
Zu An clicked his tongue and replied, “You made such a big deal out of it that I almost thought you were bringing out a divine weapon, but is that all? Besides, the name sounds so stupid, as if it's some pig-butchering knife.”
When he saw how excited Meng Chan and the other Meng clan people were getting, he had even started to get a bit worried. And yet now, it was nothing more than an immortal-grade weapon. Was it really worth such a huge deal being made over it?
“Brat, you’re courting death!” Meng Jing snapped furiously. In the hearts of the Meng clan’s people, this blade’s status was extraordinary. Forget about him, even the disciples in the distance were filled with righteous indignation.
You have successfully trolled Meng Jing for +999 +999 +999…
You have successfully trolled Meng…
…
When he saw the Rage points that were pouring in from the Meng clan disciples, Zu An only thought, I finally have a bit of income for Huanzhao’s Marrow Cleansing Pills.
The Bonewater Cleaver in Meng Jing’s hands suddenly shot out and hacked at Zu An’s head. Waves of blade ki swept toward Zu An like a great river. No wonder it was called a ‘water cleaver’!
The river-like stream of blade ki was about to make contact with Zu An’s neck when Zu An suddenly reached out and gave it a light flick. With a brittle cracking sound, the overflowing river disappeared without a trace, and the blade was instantly flicked to the side.
Meng Jing wasn’t alarmed at all. A faintly visible clone emerged from his body, looking nearly identical to his true body. It was his yin spirit.
The yin spirit leaped forward and attached itself to the Bonewater Cleaver. Immediately after, that blade seemed to have come alive. It released an almost ‘joyous’ cry. It didn’t stop moving at all, and rushed at Zu an again. It flew in circles, then disappeared into the void.
Meng Chan had some experience, and suspected that the blade hadn't actually disappeared; rather, it was too fast. It was just that those with lower cultivations like her couldn't see it anymore. She wondered if that guy would be able to react in time.
I hope great ancestor can cut him down here. Otherwise…
However, she soon received her answer. Zu An suddenly raised his hand and flicked at the air.
Clang!
Meng Chan finally saw the blade again. It was flung back, vibrating loudly.
At the same time, however, a white streak of light that seemed to connect heaven and earth cut at Zu An from another direction.
“Hm? This is a bit more interesting,” Zu An remarked to himself, thinking, Could this be a special ability of the blade? He could sense some natural laws of destruction in the streak of white light. Clashing with it head-on was clearly not a good idea.
No wonder the Meng clan attached so much importance to this weapon… It is a bit special.
Still, if it wants to do anything with that speed, that’s nothing more than wishful thinking.
He took a step to the side and easily avoided the white light. However, the Bonewater Cleaver disappeared once again and attacked him from all directions.
Zu An looked at a certain point in the air. The blade that seemed imperceptibly fast flew out again. At the same time, the white light returned; this time, it formed two intersecting lines in the shape of a cross. Zu An had a pensive expression.
Could it be that… he thought to himself while taking a step to the right. He easily avoided the cross-shaped white light.
When she saw that, Meng Chan was a bit disappointed. The Meng clan’s legendary blade seemed to be a bit faster than usual, but it didn’t seem to have any other special abilities. Great ancestor even seeed to have attacked together with it. It only served to make that man appear even more handsome with his leisurely dodges.
Ah, I hate all of this… Why did he have to be an enemy who killed my father?
…
Meng Jing controlled the blade to attack Zu An again. When the blade was knocked flying once more, a grin appeared on the corners of his lips.
The cross-shaped white light returned to hack at Zu An again. However, Zu An took a step to the side and easily avoided the intersecting lights once again.
King Dai, who had raised his head to watch the battle, almost cursed out loud.
What use is there in this shitty blade? It’s so slow that even I can avoid it!
Right at that moment, something strange happened.
