Chapter 579: Killed with One Slap
The army bore down upon us, this time on a much larger scale than before, after all, a War Emperor was present to oversee.
Even on an Eighth-class Star, War Gods weren't as common as dogs, so a War Emperor was quite valuable.
In order to suppress the Human Race's War Emperor, of course, it was necessary to dispatch a War Emperor. This was the most secured measure.
Guangyuan Continent was already crowded enough with three major clans, there was no need for a fourth to rise and snatch away the cultivation resources.
"Humans, come out!" At the entrance to the village, a large number of the Red Camel Clan had surrounded it once again.
It took a while before the gate finally opened, and an old man with a hunched back walked out. If you didn't look closely, you might think he was one of the Red Camel Clan, just shrunk several times over. He coughed and said, "Everyone has gone to the new city. I'm just an old wreck left here to deliver a message to you lords."
Damn it!
The Human Race was too bold, actually believing that land was theirs now? For any clan, land was the most precious resource; how could they simply concede it to others.
"Charge and take back our territory!"
"Kill!"
"What about this old man?"
"Don't bother with him yet. He's just an old wreck. If we want to kill him, we can do it anytime."
"Yes!"
The Red Camel Clan set off with great zeal towards the new city of the Human Race.
Just a few days had passed, and construction here was already in full swing. Villagers from hundreds of villages in the surrounding thousand-mile radius had been brought over, and at the moment, they were eagerly building their new home.
When the Red Camel Clan's army bore down on them, it immediately triggered panic, for under the weight of accumulated might, the Human Race was full of dread towards the three big clans.
"Hahaha!" The Red Camel Clan laughed heartily. This was the Human Race they knew: weak and terrified at the sight of them.
Just then, a Skyship suddenly appeared in the sky, with a flag bearing a blue crystal affixed to the bow.
"Blue Crystal Clan?"
"Eh, what are they doing here?"
"This is the Red Camel Clan's territory!"
"Are they trying to start a war?"
The members of the Red Camel Clan roared furiously. This clan was warlike and ravenous, having together with the Earth Snake Clan claimed eighty percent of Guangyuan Continent's land. Although the Blue Crystal Clan was also a large clan, they only occupied twenty percent of the land.
One reason was their lack of aggressiveness, another being that the Blue Crystal Clan didn't have a Star Master in their ranks, naturally rendering them less imposing.
But now the Blue Crystal Clan dared to enter the Red Camel Clan's territory with their Skyship, which was a clear provocation.
Clang, clang, clang, members of the Red Camel Clan unsheathed their weapons, ready for battle, refusing to allow any invasion of their territory.
A hum, a terrifying aura surged, instantly suppressing all of the Red Camel Clan, including the War Emperor, who shivered uncontrollably.
"War God!"
"The Blue Crystal Clan actually sent out a War God, do they want to start an all-out war?"
"Let's fight, we're not afraid!"
"Not only do we have more War Gods, but we also have a Star Master!"
The Red Camel Clan, true to their warring nature, only became more defiant after the brief suppression of their spirits.
"No need to be tense, we're just here to visit a friend," a soft voice came from the Skyship, so androgynous it was difficult to tell whether it belonged to a man or a woman, sounding very mysterious.
"Visit whom?" asked the War Emperor of the Red Camel Clan.
"Do I need to inform you whom I visit?" said the soft voice, yet it was full of command, "Out of consideration that you arrived first, I'll let you go ahead. After all, someone will make a move on my behalf."
The War Emperor of the Red Camel Clan laughed, saying, "Esteemed member of the Blue Crystal Clan, do you imply there is someone among the humans who can match me?"
No more sound came from the Skyship, as if the War God didn't deign to speak with him any longer.
Indeed, a War God had stepped into a divine realm, a level beyond what a War Emperor could imagine. The gap between them was as vast as the heavens and the earth.
The face of the Red Camel Clan's War Emperor turned ugly, but no matter how belligerent he was, he dared not challenge a War God. Immediately, he directed his fury towards the Human Race and sent a palm strike towards the new city that was under construction.
I'll show you building!
Boom, the palm strike was like a landslide and a tsunami!
Swoosh, a figure appeared, confronting the palm.
There was no aura swirling, no earth-shattering rumble; the palm strike simply vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
No!
The War Emperor of the Red Camel Clan suddenly lost his color, as the palm he had struck out was actually rebounded back at him with a bang, like a torrential wave.
How is this possible!
He widened his eyes in disbelief, his own palm strike had been completely rebounded, and by that woman of the Human Race? But there was no time for him to hesitate, he quickly raised his palm and bombed continuously.
Bang bang bang, he struck out three palms in rapid succession, finally neutralizing the blow he had unleashed.
Fortunately, he hadn't gone all out with that palm strike, otherwise with a full-powered blow, he definitely wouldn't have been able to launch such a powerful counterattack instantaneously, and perhaps he wouldn't have been able to neutralize it completely.
He was not afraid, but his many followers would have suffered, as being hit by the residual impact of the War Emperor's strike would have meant certain death.
"Eh, what kind of ability is this, to actually rebound an attack?" On the Skyship, the War God of the Blue Crystal Clan also expressed his astonishment. He had clearly seen the Human Race woman completely rebound the attack with a mysterious technique, an ability unheard of.
The War Emperor of the Red Camel Clan was even more shocked. Since when had the Human Race become so strong?
Su Wanyue was as cold as the moon, declaring, "This place is now the territory of the Human Race; uninvited entrants are regarded as invaders! You will pay for your actions just now!"
"Haha, what price? Do you really think you can suppress me?" The War Emperor of the Red Camel Clan snorted coldly. He might not have grasped Su Wanyue's ability, but the disparity in realms between them was clear.
How could a War Emperor fight against a War Emperor, he was outclassed by a huge margin!
Su Wanyue wasted no more words and took the initiative to strike.
"How audacious!" The War Emperor of the Red Camel Clan raged, his fists meeting her attack. This little Human Race woman actually dared to make the first move against him, truly audacious to the extreme! Not to mention the lowliness of the Human Race, but even the difference in martial arts realms should have prevented this.
But as soon as he countered, the War Emperor of the Red Camel Clan was startled because no matter how he attacked, every blow was rebounded!
How can I fight this?
He quickly withdrew his offensive, but Su Wanyue, being a Ninth Tier War Emperor with Emperor Level combat power, was not easy to withstand.
Purely on the defensive, the War Emperor of the Red Camel Clan was immediately in dire straits. But if he retaliated, it would be equivalent to hitting himself, which would be even more unbearable.
For a great War Emperor to be reduced to only parrying against a War Emperor was utterly ridiculous.
But the reality was cruel!
Everyone from the Red Camel Clan was stunned. This was too exaggerated; how could the Human Race have such a terrifying prodigy who, as a War Emperor, could not only stand up to a War Emperor but even gain the upper hand.
How could they accept this!
From the moment he clashed with Su Wanyue, the War Emperor of the Red Camel Clan was doomed to defeat. He yelled and showed his ferocity, for how could a powerful being from the esteemed Red Camel Clan tolerate such humiliation?
Fueled by rage, he dashed towards the new city, intent on destroying the Human Race's territory even if he couldn't handle that Human Race woman.
"You're courting death!" A cold snort sounded, and a palm descended from the sky, not large, and nonchalantly slapped down, smack, like swatting a fly. The War Emperor of the Red Camel Clan was smacked to death on the spot, reduced to a puddle of blood.
All the members of the Red Camel Clan stood petrified at the same time, this was just too terrifying. With such an effortless slap, a War Emperor had been slain. How many powerful beings could be hiding within this city of the human's?
They scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives. What battle race? Before such power, they were scared out of their wits.
Applause broke out, and once again, a gentle voice came from the Skyship, "Fu Lingkong of the Blue Crystal Clan, has come to visit."
"Please!" Chu Hao's voice came from within the city as well.
A person walked out of the Skyship, every step blooming in splendor, descending towards the city.
It was a War God!
All of the Human Race stopped what they were doing, watching the sky with fervent gazes, War Gods ah, exalted beings referred to as divine. Yet now, they swelled with intense pride because the Human Race too had a War God, causing the War God of the Blue Crystal Clan to lower his noble head and seek an audience proactively.
Fu Lingkong, the youngest War God of the Blue Crystal Clan, had stepped into that realm at the age of two hundred and twenty-three and was now a seventh-tier War God, ranking fifth among the twenty-four War Gods of his clan, and enjoying the height of his fame.
He carried the high hopes of the Blue Crystal Clan and was most likely to step into the Star Master level!
Once he became a Star Master, he could face the Red Camel Clan and Earth Snake Clan head-on as equals and extend the clan's lifespan by tens of thousands of years, during which the Blue Crystal Clan wouldn't have to worry about being annexed by the Red Camel and Earth Snake clans anymore.
Chu Hao casually raised his hand, and a row of steps appeared out of thin air, extending from his side into the sky, where the last step appeared just beneath Fu Lingkong's feet.
Fu Lingkong was astounded; these steps were formed by Laws, and no one below the rank of War God could set foot on them without exploding. He certainly wasn't afraid, but what amazed him was that each step contained eight different fragments of Laws!
Five Elements, Thunder, Time, Space, all the great paths were condensed!
How could Fu Lingkong not be astounded?
Theoretically, each Main Law derives three thousand Second-Level Laws, and each Second-Level Law derives three thousand Third-Level Laws, and so on. By the time it comes down to the Five-level Laws, how many branches would exist?
Furthermore, since War Gods can only comprehend fragments of Laws, there would naturally be an astronomical amount to consider.
Just focusing on the fragments derived from one Five-level Law was enough for War Gods to explore throughout their lives, as after fully condensing it, they could ascend to Star Master. But looking across a Galaxy, how many Star Masters could there be?
Under such conditions, no War God would delve into multi-elemental Laws, and even those dedicated to a single path would only concentrate on one specific Five-level Law, for biting off more than one can chew would only result in fruitless aging.
Yet, this member of the Human Race had a profound understanding of all Eight Series Laws; he even doubted his own specialization in Water Series Five-level Law fragments was as comprehensive as the other's.
What kind of monster is this! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly passes at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
