Outside of Great King City, flags fluttered in the air as countless obams gathered together. They had respectful expressions and flattering smiles as they exchanged greetings with these nobles from the imperial city.
Sophia suddenly furrowed her eyebrows, a cold chill appearing in her eyes. Dorafi’s aura had suddenly vanished from her senses…this meant that he had been killed. He had been killed just as she left the City Lord Mansion…damn it all!
Sophia drew in a deep breath and bowed, “Revered Mister Olas, there is a sudden emergency in Great King City that I need to deal with. I really must apologize. Please allow me to excuse myself in advance.”
Olas smiled and nodded. “Dealing with business first is important. You and I have much time to slowly speak further later.”
Sophia expressed her regrets one more time and then flew back to Great King City. Her clear and bright eyes were icy cold.
No matter who it was today, they could forget about running away!
…
Qin Yu’s complexion changed. He could suddenly feel someone locking onto him from afar. That sort of ice-cold killing intent that pierced into his soul caused him to pause for a moment as his blood nearly froze solid.
He had been discovered!
Bang –
Qin Yu’s aura instantly erupted. He no longer maintained the appearance of an obam as he transformed back into a human. He held Little Zhao and Snowside as he howled forward.
“Ah! It’s a human cultivator!”
“Block him!”
“Die!”
With loud roars, obams rushed forward, trying to block Qin Yu’s way. But they soon felt horror.
“Get out of my way”
With a shout, Qin Yu smashed a foot down. The ground cracked and collapsed inwards, forming a giant ring-like shockwave that spread out in all directions.
Bang –
Bang –
All of the obam that were rushing at him were sent away at an even faster speed. Their bones cracked and popped as they shattered.
“We can’t stop him!”
“This human is too terrifying!”
“Everyone flee!”
With pitiful cries, the obam scattered and fled.
Qin Yu didn’t slow down as he flew out of the city. On the side opposite of him, the killing intent that locked onto him was approaching at an astonishing speed.
He needed to be faster!
Bang –
Suddenly, a tyrannical aura erupted in front of him; its source was a black-furred obam. As this obam roared, its body inflated like a balloon. Soon, it was over a thousand feet tall as it blocked off the city gates.
“Human cultivator! You dare to break into Great King City? You can forget about leaving today!” With a roar, the black obam slapped down a hand.
Bang –
Air compressed and released explosive sounds. Before the palm fell, the mountain-like suppression had already arrived, covering Qin Yu within it.
Qin Yu’s pupils shrank. But not only did he not stop but he even accelerated. Soon afterwards a heaven-shaking ring filled the air.
“Ahh!”
With a pitiful scream, the black obam’s arm was directly torn off. His heavy body was thrown backwards and a massive amount of blood splashed out like rain.
Qin Yu stuffily coughed and his face turned pale white. He forcefully restrained the coppery flavor rising in the back of his throat and continued forward. His feet stomped against the ground and he rushed out through the city gates as everything was in chaos.
“Ahh! Great, we’ve run away!” Snowside shouted in pleasant surprise.
Little Zhao also smiled.
But Qin Yu didn’t slow down. Instead, he raced forward even faster. As a result, his wan face turned even paler.
The happy looks on Snowside and Little Zhao’s faces slowly vanished and were replaced with nervousness. They wanted to ask Qin Yu what was happening, but as they saw his cold and solemn face they couldn’t come up with the words.
A moment later, Little Zhao’s eyes flew open. She fiercely turned her head towards the back. She finally sensed the terrifying aura that was chasing after them.
This strength…there was no way to resist it!
No wonder Qin Yu had been so anxious and didn’t dare to slow down….but the disparity in strength between the two sides was far too great. In this state it was impossible to flee.
It was just a matter of time before they were overtaken. Rather than dying together, it was better if…
Little Zhao suddenly said, “Qin Yu, don’t care about us. Just flee by yourself! Remember, you need to bring that stone to the Stronghold Master!”
Snowside had a shocked expression. “What happened? Haven’t we already escaped?”
“Escaped?” Little Zhao bitterly smiled. “Escape is impossible.”
She bit her lips, “Qin Yu, don’t delay any more or you won’t have time. Drop us and run!”
Qin Yu suddenly looked up. “We still have a chance.” In the depths of his eyes, dark golden light flashed. He shouted out, “Winds rise!”
Hu –
In the next moment, strong gales whipped up between the heavens and earth. Flying sand and stones suddenly filled the surroundings, boundless and endless. And this was only what one could see with the naked eye. As the winds wildly blew through the world, the invisible rules lines that existed were stirred up like a pool of water. They trembled and diffused outwards. Looking at this from the realm of the rules, it was like a layer of fog had been artificially created, covering this region.
Qin Yu had an intense expression. He closed his eyes, doing his best to sense something. Moments later, he opened his eyes and smiled.
It worked!
At this moment, while the killing intent and speed of the pursuing party approaching them from the rear was astonishing enough, compared to the black hole-like space distortion that he sensed from her, they were on completely different levels.
It was like the existence he sensed possessed an extremely terrifying power, but for some unknown reason it was only able to exert a small portion of its power.
So this pursuing party used her extremely high boundary to draw support from the world’s rules, and it wasn’t her own strength…this was a crucial point!
Now, when Qin Yu muddled the rules and created an artificial fog, the killing intent that locked onto him from behind became much fuzzier. This proved that his assumptions were correct.
If so, then just like he told Little Zhao, there was a chance they would survive!
His thoughts raced. Without hesitation he shouted out, “Clouds surge!”
In the vault of the heavens, great clouds gushed out from nothingness. They wove together to form thick thunderclouds. As time passed, the clouds deepened in color. Finally, they turned deep black as if formed from ink.
As the black clouds formed, the world rules here became even more chaotic and jumbled. The killing intent that locked onto him weakened once again.
Qin Yu took a deep breath. His voice was like thunder, “Rain falls!”
Rumble rumble –
There was a ring of thunder as lightning spread out in all directions. Soon, the black clouds tumbled and a rainstorm fell down! The rain was thick and sense, blocking out one’s line of sight. At the same time, the world rules were completely blown into chaos by the torrential downpour.
This was because this rain was not just physical rain but also contained an immense amount of the power of rules.
This was the Divine Dao ability that Qin Yu gained after fusing together with the Dao Monarch’s Great Dao and utilizing the strength of the jade pendant embryo egg – Enforcement of the Word.
Once spoken, it would be a decree of the world and enforced by the world. It could cause the winds to rise, clouds to surge, and rain to fall!
Even with Qin Yu’s current cultivation he could only galvanize the most basic Enforcement of the Word. But at the same time he could also muddle the world’s rules in a region. While he couldn’t break apart the perception of the killing intent that had locked onto him, disturbing it was more than enough.
At this time, the killing intent had lost its target!
Qin Yu’s eyes brightened. Without hesitation he erupted with his strongest strength. His speed drastically increased.
He was like an arrow that had been shot, dragging Little Zhao and Snowside behind him as he tore open a straight channel in the curtain of rain. He vanished into the distance.
Ten breaths of time later, a snow-white obam that emanated an honored and formidable aura arrived. Sophia swept her eyes around her surroundings and frowned. “Enforcement of the Word…” A dignified expression crossed her face.
It had to be known that even amongst Divine Dao beings, only a small number of them were able to cultivate this supernatural art. In itself, this represented one perceiving the Great Dao of the heavens and earth through meditation as well as being cared for by the world. It could be said that if someone who knew the Enforcement of the Word didn’t perish, they would have great achievements in the future.
What left Sophia especially shocked was that if her perceptions weren’t wrong, the one that killed Dorafi hadn’t even stepped into the Divine Dao realm now…without entering the Divine Dao realm, this person knew the Enforcement of the Word. Examples of this did exist, but anyone that could achieve this had to be a top most proud son of heaven in the world.
But why would such a person appear in Great King City, even sneaking into the City Lord Mansion and killing off the bait she had deliberately left behind? Could this human be her subordinate? If true, things were troublesome.
Sophia’s frown deepened. She suddenly coldly snorted and the power of the rules condensed by Qin Yu’s Enforcement of the Word was instantly cleared out.
The winds, the clouds, the rain, everything quickly vanished. The sun shined up above, without any traces of what just happened.
“It seems like I’ll have to activate my backup plans. But what a pity for this person who hasn’t yet entered the Divine Dao realm but can still use the Enforcement of the Word.” Sophia muttered beneath her breath before she turned and left.
…
Hu –
Hu –
Qin Yu gasped for breath, his chest burning. If it wasn’t for his tenacious will he feared he would have fallen to the ground. He turned back and looked towards the direction of Great King City. When he was sure that the one pursuing them had given up, he finally relaxed.
“Alright…we’re safe now…”
Qin Yu sat down cross-legged and hurried to restore his strength.
Snowside shook with excitement. She never imagined that she would survive today.
Little Zhao looked at him deeply. She took out a palm-sized jade sword and then poured her strength into it. The jade sword cracked and broke apart. A light shot out from it, disappearing into the horizon.
“People will soon come to meet us.”
An hour later, Doctor Ye was the first to arrive. When he looked at Qin Yu, his eyes brightened. “Not bad, not bad, you actually completed the mission! Qin Yu, you haven’t disappointed my expectations of you!”
