Chapter 139 Chapter 139 "You will pay it back."...

"You are quite clever."

Even after his identity was exposed, Wu Shao, who maintained the appearance of Lan Qi, did not panic.

He could even be said to be a little happy, with the corners of his lips curled up and his narrow eyes slightly curved.

Facing Jiu Zhao's hateful expression, he maintained his calm gaze of admiring the masterpiece.

From the wound that was just beginning to bleed, it was frozen shut. He saw her palm being pierced by an ice spike, unable to activate the ring to stop the formation.

Finally it fell on her pale face stained with blood.

This was the first time that Wu Shao took control of Lan Qi's body since his soul regained self-awareness.

His deep red eyes moved slowly, inch by inch, carefully examining Jiu Zhao's facial features.

After a while, Fang commented indifferently, "Your features are different from your mother's. You look more like that fellow Sichen—really? I wanted to use your face to reminisce about my sister before I took action, but it ended up being such a disappointment."

"What qualifications do you have to mention my mother?!"

The Queen of Gods has always been Jiu Zhao's Achilles' heel.

Even though her face was distorted by the opposing power of the formation, she still roared at Wu Shao with all her might.

Wu Shao raised an eyebrow and said matter-of-factly, "I'm the person in this world who loves my sister the most. If I'm not qualified to mention her, then who is?"

"If it is true love, why can your sword hurt my mother——"

Jiu Zhao was in so much pain that he had to stop and take a deep breath after saying a few words.

Blood foamed from her teeth as she mocked him loudly, "So-called love is nothing more than an excuse for your possessive desire!"

Having his sore spot touched, Wu Shao's good mood disappeared.

His eyes turned cold, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Compared to your appearance, your sharp tongue is more like my sister.

"I loved her, longing to be with her forever since childhood, but she betrayed me. When love turned to hate, my spell took effect on her again - is this my fault? From the beginning to the end, she was the one who wronged me, disobeying the Phoenix Clan's order and falling in love with an outsider.

"Given the Phoenix Clan's status in the Three Pure Heavens, she could clearly have lived a freer and more unrestrained life while possessing power—"

"All the bitter fruits are her fault. She coveted the power of the Queen of Gods. It was all caused by her and Sichen together!"

Even now, he still refuses to admit his mistake.

Don't blame the failure of a relationship on other reasons.

Too sad and too ridiculous.

"You are such a pathetic creature who has never been loved, yet you are wishful thinking and fantasizing about love."

As soon as he said that, Jiu Zhao saw that Wu Shao's expression became even uglier.

It was as if there were two clusters of wildfires, burning fiercely in his pupils, ready to devour anyone.

"Love is the intersection of two true hearts, a mutual understanding, and a resonance of souls. You don't understand the Mother Goddess at all, so she doesn't love you—"

"After all these years, haven't you understood even the simplest truth?"

The power of the formation was still spreading, penetrating Jiu Zhao's most important joints and acupoints.

The God Emperor once said that when it froze to the forehead and pierced into the spirit platform, it would be able to deal a fatal blow to Lan Qi.

At that time, she could take advantage of his dying moment and calmly dig out his heart and take his blood.

Now, she was the one dying.

Perhaps because he had been at the gates of hell too many times, Jiu Zhao was not too afraid of death.

As the cyan divine light climbed up to her neck, sealing her vocal cords and preventing any sound, she even managed to focus a moment to hear Wu Shao's tone change from effortless to downright corrupt. She coldly retorted to herself, "No matter how convincing your arguments, weren't you still betrayed by Lan Qi? Do you think that if you truly understood what love was, if you truly tried to understand him and enter his heart, would I still be standing here today to take your life?"

right.

you're right.

So you have your retribution, and I have mine.

Seeing that Jiu Zhao could no longer refute his words, Wu Shao finally decided to end this meaningless argument.

He put his fingertips together, and a still spark hovered above them.

Jiu Zhao recognized that it was the Nirvana Phoenix Fire. Apart from her, only those who had the other half of the Phoenix's true blood could use it.

However, it is different from a novice like her who can only use spiritual power.

Wu Shao had been a god for thousands of years. The Phoenix Fire in his palm was like a toy that was being manipulated lightly, but once it was unleashed, its power was enough to destroy the world.

He pointed casually, and the red flame followed his will and attached itself to the Liexiao Sword that pierced Jiuzhao's shoulder.

There was a teeth-grinding sound of flesh being pulled.

In revenge, Wu Shao did not draw out his sword quickly and decisively. Instead, he advanced and retreated half an inch, repeatedly ravaging Jiu Zhao's wound.

The Nirvana Phoenix Fire continued to take effect, and the ice on Jiu Zhao's shoulders was melted by the heat, and blood dripped down, winding like a river.

Jiu Zhao felt so painful that he wanted to scream and curse.

Unfortunately, she could only watch with tears in her eyes as Wu Shao grasped Lie Xiao, skillfully swung the sword in a flower pattern, and aimed it at her proud chest again.

"What your mother couldn't give me back then.

"Then let their daughter, you bastard, pay the price."

Wu Shao softly pronounced the judgment.

In the blink of an eye, the Nirvana Phoenix Fire, which was only a thin layer of mist attached to the sword, bloomed to a brightness that could compete with the sun and the moon.

The Lie Xiao in Lan Qi's hands was completely different from the Lie Xiao in his hands.

The gentleman's sword intent in the bleak mountains and rivers is no longer visible, and a violent, majestic, and devastating force is roaring towards him.

Not to mention that Jiuzhao's limbs were bound by the formation.

She could conclude that even if she was at her peak, she would not be able to defeat Wu Shao.

…

Is today the day she dies?

Jiu Zhao couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

The mind revolves around the replay.

She suddenly realized that after fulfilling her greatest wish of curing Zhu Yan, she no longer had any regrets.

Becoming the God Emperor is just to fulfill my parents' expectations.

In this world, she no longer owes anyone.

If there is one thing that I am most unwilling to accept, it is probably that I cannot witness the overthrow of the immortal slave system with my own eyes.

The magic spread to his eyelids, and even when facing death, Jiu Zhao could not close his eyes to avoid it.

The unstoppable sword broke through the hard shell of the frozen body and was about to pierce the heart accurately.

The moment his clothes were pierced and the tip of the sword touched his skin, for some reason, his momentum suddenly stagnated and the edge of the sword even showed a tendency to reverse.

Jiu Zhao's eyes flashed.

A fleeting whisper reached his unblocked ears, accompanied by Wu Shao's slightly unsightly expression:

"She's just a woman, why are you doing this?"

However, the perfect opportunity had been missed.

A defensive barrier appeared in the sky, separating Liexiao and Jiuzhao.

Wu Shao didn't hesitate at all, as if he had anticipated this, and raised his sword to stab again.

"You dare!"

A clear and angry roar suddenly rang out, and a six-sided ice crystal flower suddenly bloomed at the tip of Liexiao's sword.

It spun and expanded rapidly at a speed difficult to discern with the naked eye, and soon turned into hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of flowers—

On the flowers, needle-like ice spikes fell off, flashing a sharp cold light, turning into an airtight net and attacking Wu Shao.

Jiu Zhao recognized that the voice scolding Wu Shao and casting spells was that of Ye Shen Xi Huan.

The divine power that stood in front of him and served as a protective barrier came from the supreme ruler of Sanqingtian, his own father god - Sichen.

Wu Shao was forced to take a big step back, and as he created a gap, another ray of divine light came and shattered the ring on Jiu Zhao's finger.

Just as the final step was about to take place, the formation that was intended to destroy the spiritual platform collapsed immediately, and Jiu Zhao's helpless body fell limply to the ground.

"careful--"

A pair of arms appeared out of nowhere, avoiding all the wounds and carefully supporting her lower back and arms.

Jiu Zhao was taken away in a rapid flight. Wu Shao tried to stop him by casting a spell, but was repelled by the God of Mount Yi who joined the battle.

A healing and restorative light suddenly appeared on her body. After she was helped to a safe place and sat down to rest, Jiu Zhao looked up and saw the appearance of her rescuer.

"Yan——"

Another half word was held in his mouth, and before he could spit it out, his vision focused on Yingluo.

He lost his usual calm demeanor, and worry that was difficult to conceal filled his brows.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

As he spoke, he increased his immortal power output, trying to stop the bleeding and repair Jiu Zhao.

Jiu Zhao suddenly fell silent. She looked at the battlefield in the distance through the gap in Yingluo that blocked her eyes.

God the Father has come.

Behind him was a large group of people following.

The upper gods Yishan and Xihuan were fighting with Wu Shao. The Father God turned his head and said something, and Fuxu, who was standing next to them, immediately led his troops to disperse.

Because of saving him, the flowing formation collapsed midway.

At this moment, in order to prevent the demons in the peach forest from escaping, the four God Kings joined hands and expanded and connected the translucent barriers that blocked entry and exit from where they stood.

Jiu Zhao's pupils moved with great effort before he found Zhu Yan among the crowd.

The moment their eyes met, the surging emotions in his eyes receded and disappeared without a trace.

There were a lot of people coming from the northern border. He was standing next to the Northern God King, closer than Prince Meng Chu.

Sensing the desire and cry in Jiu Zhao's expression, he stopped where he was and did not come over.

A strange premonition silently emerged from Jiu Zhao's heart.

"...Don't worry, I'm fine."

She answered in a low voice.

The muffled voice was instantly drowned out by Wu Shao's sharp, high-pitched voice: "Sichen, you are as despicable as ever! Over 30,000 years ago, you used my sister to distract me on the battlefield, and now you're using your daughter. If you have the guts, then stand up and challenge me!"

The God Emperor did not engage in verbal argument with him.

He looked indifferently at the scene where Wu Shao was entangled by the two gods and could not break free for the time being.

High-level divine arts of the five elements bloomed one after another in the peach forest like fireworks.

The fruits fall down and the branches are broken.

Thousands of acres of beautiful scenery were reduced to scorched earth.

In the distance, there were shrill roars from the demons who were besieged by the immortal soldiers led by Fu Xu.

Jiu Zhao's inner demons have not been resolved, and deep in his chaotic mind, Wu Shao's shouts questioning his father God repeatedly echo.

She had already seen through the fact that he was using her.

What does it mean to use the Mother Goddess?

She is a pawn.

The Mother Goddess is a chess piece.

They are all pawns...?

Jiu Zhao curled up and covered his head.

As this realization came to her, her soul felt so painful that it almost broke in two.

"Your Highness, please don't bend your body like that. The wound will heal and burst open again..."

Yingluo reminded with concern, sometimes very close and sometimes very far away.

Unfortunately, the current situation was cruel and did not leave her any time to be vulnerable.

The Divine Emperor's cold, secret voice reached him: "Zhao'er, you've failed the mission I entrusted to you. However, it's never too late to mend the situation. I don't care what your condition is. As long as you're still alive and can stand, you must come to your father. Wu Shao's power is unfathomable. Even Xi Huan and Yi Shan would have a difficult battle against him. You must seize the opportunity to plunge your weapon into Wu Shao's heart and extract his phoenix blood. Only then can we kill him once and for all."
