Apotheosis Realm Assembly
“The jury is out: you three are charged with smearing our name and challenging us. You three are hereby sentenced to death,” Hun Kui announced and then advanced, showing that they could make up an excuse if they did not have one if they wanted to silence anyone.
“Apotheosis Realm?” Ximen Buxing and Wanwan donned their black and white energy, pitting their domain against Hun Kui’s.
Gu Yitian brandished his new iron sword upon seeing Hun Kui quickly gain the upper hand. Another Apotheosis Realm cultivator launched an attack on Hun Kui before Gu Yitian could get involved, forcing the three engaged in a tug of war to pull back.
“Cheng Yan!”
With a soothing bright aura and qi that could compare to moonlight, Cheng Yan voiced, “You want to kill?”
“None of you are worthy of carrying the mystic immortal mantle when you slander and disrespect Third Heaven Palace!” brayed Hun Kui.
Five more Apotheosis Realm cultivators arrived on the scene fast enough to gust up a tornado, all of whom concealed their appearances in black robes. Hun Kui laughed heartily as he synchronised his timing with his five allies to deploy six domains.
Sizzle! After burning a hole in the six domains, Lie Shang appeared in his fire form, giving the impression that the atmosphere was rising and falling. “You rats ready to die?”
Boom! The downward force generated a shockwave that pulled cultivators in its direction, throwing them off balance. Xiang Nan was visible on a grey rock a metre tall once the dust settled. “Saves me the trouble of killing you one by one.”
Cheng Yan took a gander at Xiang Nan and Lie Shang, then turned back to Hun Kui. “You prefer to settle the score out here?”
“Hahaha, it doesn’t matter who the nine are once you lot are out of the picture,” replied Hun Kui.
“I see. I didn’t expect you to show yourselves in public.”
“You think the cultivators can cheer in the presence of Apotheosis Realm people? You know what they will be? Soul energy for us to bludgeon you.”
“Why don’t you see if you can still kill?”
While Hun Kui did not like trying to discern if Cheng Yan was bluffing or not, he called it a bluff and whipped a white energy blast at the cultivators. Hun Kui had the cultivators chained down to where they stood using his pressure, therefore expected an easy kill and to deform the environment. He held his breath, still concerned Cheng Yan was not bluffing and lost it when his blast vanished once it travelled some distance.
“… You found Perfect World?!” erupted Hun Kui.
“The playing field is level now,” responded Cheng Yan.
Lie Shang and Xiang Nan shook their heads at each other. Xiao Ran immediately went to Cheng Yan’s left side, while Yu Mo landed by the rock on his right side, adding more Apotheosis Realm players to the battlefield.
“You found Perfect World?” inquired Yu Mo, shadow melding in with the rock’s shadow.
“And if I did?”
“Then, our grudge isn’t just over Shadow Synthesis.”
“She’s right,” added Xiao Ran.
“Welcome to the party.” Cheng Yan smiled it off.
“All the more reason to start with you,” asserted Hun Kui, sending a shiver through those who could hear him.
Xiang Nan and Lie Shang took Cheng Yan’s sides. Lie Shang lit up a fire and challenged, “Try your best.”
“I’ve killed three Apotheosis Realm rats from Third Heaven Palace already, and you’re next.” Xiang Nan deliberately swept his gaze over to Xiao Ran and Yu Mo on top of Third Heaven Palace.
