Chapter 624: Death of Sa Jue
“…”
Sa Jue looked at Fashi's figure, then looked down at the golden spear stuck in his chest.
The pain of the sharp weapon piercing his chest caused a few drops of cold sweat to seep out of his forehead and a few blue veins to bulge out, but he soon regained control of his body.
His expression became calm, and there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes.
"Is this also some little trick left by Changsheng?"
“…Infinite and eternal life.”
Fashi clasped his hands together and lowered his eyes.
"Donor...are these your last words?"
"Heh..." Sa Jue suddenly chuckled.
As the spear pierced his body, the arm he had just raised from the throne fell back onto the golden throne. The spear destroyed his control over his power. Now, he could no longer stop the golden throne from eroding his body.
Golden threads climbed up along his skin one by one, sewing layers of gold on his body surface. In the process, the vitality in his body was devoured bit by bit by the throne.
An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness and weakness filled his body. His vision was blurry and his mind gradually became drowsy. His body kept sending signals to his soul:
Go to sleep, get some sleep.
Taking a short nap on the throne is like sleeping in the arms of immortality.
But Sa Jue knew very well in his heart that as long as he obeyed the signal and closed his eyes, he would never be able to open them again.
No...it should be that even the structure of the eyes will disappear forever.
Is this the end...?
Sa Jue opened his mouth:
"What if tonight... I'm not sitting on the throne?"
"If you could have resisted the temptation of the throne, the Longevity Tent wouldn't have reached this point." Fashi's expression remained unchanged. "Of course, I also have the means to force you to sit on the throne."
The reason why he was able to deal with the Imperial Master was because of this throne.
According to rumors, Ling Sui was brutally murdered by the power-hungry Lord of the Great King's Court in order to prevent him from awakening Changsheng.
In order to avoid this situation from happening again, Ling Sui prayed devoutly to Changsheng countless times in exchange for an ability - the ability to launch special attacks against the Lord of the Royal Court!
They are the secret supervisors of the Great King's Court and natural-born regicides.
But, for some reason, this heritage was forgotten in the course of history.
Even Fashi himself had to consult countless records in ancient books before he was able to retrieve the inheritance of this ability in a secret place in some remote corner.
Hmm... that's easy to guess. No ruler of the royal court would tolerate someone under their rule who could easily kill them. The loss of this ability must be related to the ruler of the royal court.
However, Sa Jue was not of royal blood, so naturally he had no way of knowing about something that even Fa Shi did not understand.
This is an information gap.
Ever since he regained this power, Fashi has been quietly hiding himself, only waiting for today to show his fangs!
With this power, even if the Emperor Khan himself is sitting on the throne, he can kill him with one blow, let alone an imperial teacher who is trying to usurp the throne?
To attempt to lay hands on the throne is an unforgivable sin for Saru!
Sa Jue: "...Ha, interesting."
As he spoke, thin golden lines spread out layer by layer, completely transforming the area below his chest into gold.
With the regicide spear of Fashi and the erosion of the Golden Throne intertwined, he had no way to escape.
However, Sa Jue did not get hysterical. Instead, he smiled softly:
"Yes, these are my last words—these are Sajue's last words!"
clang!
The golden spear was pulled out from the chest, turned into light, and fell into Fa Shi's hand, having turned into a soul card.
He looked at the card.
The golden spear pierced through the sky, and at this moment, a head appeared on the spear on the card pattern - it was Sa Jue's head.
…
Soul Card Name: Spear of the Regicide
Category: Spell Card
Quality: Taboo
Attribute: Light
ability:
[Regicide]: Kill any target on the "Throne" and seal its head.
[Climb the Tower]: When the target's surname is "Lou", the ability takes effect regardless of level.
…
This banned card is simple and crude.
This is the soul card that Fashi made based on the knowledge he gained from that inheritance.
The national teacher's surname is not Lou.
But, it's not a big problem.
Although all its vitality was not cut off immediately, fortunately, the erosion of the throne was constantly adding to the damage.
So, the result is good.
Fa Shi raised his head again.
Then he saw that the headless corpse on the throne had completely turned into a golden body. Although the head was chopped off, there was no blood at the broken part because even the flesh and blood in the body had turned into gold.
Then, something strange happened.
It was as if an invisible huge sphere suddenly fell from the sky, slowly and unstoppably pressing on Sa Jue's golden body!
Crunch...
The creepy sound continued to ring out, and the golden body was slowly deformed and compressed under the pressure of this invisible force, and... merged into the throne!
In a moment, the throne was empty.
The entire golden body was "eaten" by the throne.
It seemed that the shimmering light on the throne was even brighter, and even in the dark night, it was flickering with light from an unknown source.
Fashi witnessed everything that happened.
After a long time, he sighed, not knowing what he was thinking about, then turned around and left.
The throne will devour all who presume upon it.
Sa Jue is just one of them.
…
Imperial tomb.
"I don't know what happened next." Wen Yang took out a bottle of water from his arms and took a big gulp.
After talking for so long, my throat is dry.
"Would you like a bottle?"
"No."
Yu Cang waved his hand.
He didn't dare drink the water that the card banner handed to him.
Wen Yang shouldn't have poisoned the water, but who knows if Madam Yu added anything to the water.
He still remembered that just now in front of the imperial mausoleum, Madam Yu drank the poisoned tea by herself.
Speaking of this.
Yu Cang's expression became slightly serious.
Too young, hasn't come out yet.
She definitely has a way to find me. If the battle is over, she will definitely appear by my side.
They had been in this tomb for quite some time, but there was still no news...
Wen Yang saw Yu Cang's expression and was curious: "What are you still worried about?"
"..." Yu Cang was silent for a moment, "Regarding your teacher... Madam Yu, how much do you know about the thing she summoned tonight?"
Hearing this, Wen Yang raised his brows: "Tonight...what did she summon? She didn't tell me in advance."
"It's the evil god."
"Ahhh, the evil god is watching." Wen Yang nodded in understanding, "That's the teacher's work. By using specific pronunciations and some special totems, you can summon the existence called the 'evil god'... To be honest, I was also shocked when I first came into contact with this thing.
"That evil god clearly came from the Astral Realm... From this perspective, our inability to find a way to the Astral Realm might actually be a good thing."
Wen Yang looked sad.
Seeing this, Yu Cang frowned.
Judging from Wen Yang’s reaction… he doesn’t seem to understand the method of summoning the evil god at all?
Madam Yu had already truly summoned the evil god, but Wen Yang's understanding was only at the stage of summoning and watching for his arrival.
That……
"Is there any way to break the evil god's gaze?" Yu Cang simply asked.
"There is a way to crack it... that's for sure." Wen Yang nodded, "First of all, it's the environment. If the evil god's gaze wants to reach him, there can't be too many obstructions. Even a few more clouds in the sky won't work. So, when you realize that the other party is about to summon the evil god's gaze, you just need to confuse the surrounding environment.
"There's a blue star between the Eternal Life Tent and the Star Realm, separated by two layers of world walls. Logically, the Heretic God shouldn't be able to see here."
Wen Yang looked curious at this. "Why, that black-robed man who came with you... couldn't he have been caught in the evil god's gaze? But that's impossible. The immortal tent shouldn't meet the requirements..."
He hid in the dark and only saw what happened before Tai Chu pulled everyone into the bloody area.
Of course, he didn't see what moves Mrs. Yu made.
Yu Cang: "...Then is there a possibility that Madam Yu can directly summon the evil god's true form instead of just watching it?"
"That's impossible... The Heretic God's gaze alone can significantly weaken a nation-defending being. I simply can't imagine how powerful the Heretic God's true form is. Even the teacher... probably wouldn't be able to summon him."
Yu Cang: "..."
He was silent.
Judging from Wen Yang's expression, it doesn't seem like he's faking it.
He really doesn't know anything.
It is true that Taichu's bloody domain is so impenetrable. He now clearly knows that a war between gods is taking place in the world calculated only by Taichu himself.
However, standing outside, I couldn't sense anything at all, there was no movement at all.
But Wen Yang looked at Yu Cang's expression and suddenly sensed something was wrong.
What does this mean... Could it be?
Wen Yang opened his eyes wide: "Can't it be... Teacher really..."
How powerful is the person standing behind Yu Cang?
He knew that Madam Yu had gone to fight the person behind Yu Cang, but he had no idea how strong that person was.
I think he should be a card banner... After all, looking at the teacher's appearance, he is obviously eager to show off his skills.
But, if the thing called the evil god that the teacher said was summoned was just to fight that person...could it be a myth?
Yu Cang brought a myth into the Changsheng Tent?
I'm so tired... Is this a big deal?
Wen Yang couldn't help swallowing.
If there is a myth, then why are you still sneaking around here?
Why not just push it forward directly?
Now that Emperor Khan is not coming out, even if the National Master can use the power of myths with the help of the Buddhist Kingdom, how can he compare with the real myths?
Yes, before in the imperial capital, the teacher had guessed that Di Changan had woken up and was very likely to attack the hunting clan.
So, I guessed it all right!
Which legend could it be? Emperor Chang'an? Or Ye Yan?
Wait, so much time has passed...hiss, has the teacher been fighting with Shenhua for so long?
No...it's not true...
Wen Yang just felt a sense of unreality.
No matter how confident he was in his teacher, he couldn't believe this.
"...Don't overthink it." Yu Cang waved his hand. "Besides changing the environment, what else can I do? Is there any way to avoid the influence of the evil god's gaze?"
"And..." Wen Yang came back to his senses, "And there's a special totem engraved with the Heretic God's true name."
"oh?"
"The evil gods that the teacher found from the starry sky all have their own true names. As long as you make a special totem out of that true name, you can be immune to the influence of its gaze to a certain extent... But the influence can't be completely avoided. The true name totem will also cause the evil god's afterglow to constantly fall on the holder. If this continues for a long time, it is very likely to drive the bearer insane.
"The most crucial thing is that once a connection is established with the totem engraved with your true name, it will be very costly to break it... Therefore, this condition is not very common."
Yu Cang frowned and nodded.
"So... what else?"
"No more." After thinking for a moment, Wen Yang added, "At least, as far as I know, it's gone."
"...I understand. Thank you. This information is very important."
“It should be.”
"Then—I have no problem."
"Are you going back now?"
"certainly."
"Well..." Wen Yang pointed at himself, "Since we're going to act, let's act it out for real... Beat me up, so people won't get suspicious."
Yu Cang smiled: "You don't need to tell me that."
Wen Yang: “…”
So you wanted to beat yourself up?
…
Somewhere in the imperial tomb.
Cen Zhenguo, who was checking the product name, suddenly changed his expression.
The soul card that was still in Yu Cang's body was cracked?
How is that possible!
Even if it was just a casual placement by himself, it was still a high-level heirloom soul card. Logically speaking, a sixth-level soul card master should not be able to break free!
What's more, that soul card is a banned card!
However, this card just disconnected! And...
It disappeared, and I couldn't sense its existence at all!
No...wait, Wen Yang is still there!
Cen Zhenguo threw away the teacup and jumped up suddenly. A layer of scarlet shadow wrapped around him. After a few rises and falls, he had arrived outside the tomb!
As soon as he landed.
boom!!!
The tomb chamber exploded directly, and the exquisitely designed roof was shattered into pieces, revealing the two people underneath.
Yu Cang was seen holding Wen Yang's head with one hand. Under his grip, Wen Yang was bleeding from all seven orifices and looked like he was going to die.
Cen Zhenguo's eyes immediately turned red with anger.
"How dare you!!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the scarlet light gathered into a storm, grabbing directly towards Yu Cang!
Seeing this, Yu Cang snorted coldly, but he also knew that he couldn't fight head-on, so he dodged and left the spot.
"Wen Yang, your friend doesn't care much about your safety." Yu Cang sneered.
"You, you..." Wen Yang stared at Yu Cang, as if he wanted to bite off his flesh and blood.
Seeing this, Yu Cang yawned and seemed a little bored.
"Never mind...see you another day."
After saying that.
His figure flickered for a moment, and then he disappeared into the night!
"stop!"
Cen Zhenguo wanted to chase after him, but a figure stopped him at this moment.
This is……
After seeing it clearly, he froze in place.
This was a being wrapped in bandages all over his body, and he looked very familiar... Wasn't this the real body of the forbidden card that he had just injected into Yu Cang's body?
However, he remembered that beneath the forbidden card's bandage, there should be the deepest darkness. Why now...
The bandages could barely contain the bursting golden light, and the bandaged man stood there like a holy monk who had attained enlightenment.
He looked at Cen Zhenguo and a...meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Old Master."
He raised his hand, and golden light burst out from the bandages, wrapping around into a long sword in his hand.
"Repay everything..."
