The Star Extreme Immortal King was also quite impressive. With Gu Qingfeng's assistance, he exerted every ounce of his strength to flee rapidly, watching as the distance between them and their pursuers grew.
Gu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally saved his family member's life.
But just as he relaxed, something unexpected happened.
A blood-red moon rose out of nowhere. Immediately after, a terrifying beam of divine light exploded forth, like a rainbow piercing the sun, and ruthlessly penetrated the Star Extreme Immortal King's heart!
The Star Extreme Immortal King was instantly critically wounded and crashed to the ground.
And the attacker was none other than the Marquis of Divine Martiality!
At this moment, the Marquis was blind, his eye sockets nothing but two bloody holes trickling blood. He bore several sword wounds so deep the bone was visible, looking extremely wretched. Lying at his feet was the corpse of Yan Jingyun.
Despite his wretched state, he laughed maniacally. "Hahaha... Star Extreme Immortal King! Do you think you can escape? Pay with your life for my sister!"
No one had expected that it would be this kid, the Marquis, who would deliver the critical blow at the crucial moment.
Originally, no one paid him any mind during the great battle, as he had been fighting the Star Extreme Immortal King's guard, Yan Jingyun.
Furthermore, since both were Da Luo Golden Immortals, it was difficult for them to intervene in a battle between Quasi-Immortal Kings, so their battlefield was far away.
Yet, it was this ignored minor character who had silently killed Yan Jingyun, a fellow Da Luo Golden Immortal. Then, at the critical moment, he destroyed his own Double Pupils to unleash the ultimate technique of the Chongming Immortal Clan—the very same technique Yuwen Xiong had used twice before: the Eye of the Waning Moon!
This kid was truly ruthless for his sister's sake!
Of course, this doesn't refer to being ruthless to himself, but to his clansmen. Every time the Eye of the Waning Moon is cast, it is accompanied by the blinding of a Chongming clansman. As a peak Da Luo Golden Immortal, how could the Marquis not have the authority to swap eyes?
Therefore, without trade, there is no killing. Without the Eye of the Waning Moon, no Chongming clansmen would go blind.
The Star Extreme Immortal King looked at the laughing Marquis, his expression furious to the extreme. Coughing up blood, he cursed, "This King has always treated you siblings well! If your sister hadn't poisoned This King, why would I have killed her? And now you want me to pay with my life? The person you should really be taking revenge on is the Chongming Immortal King! If not for his orders..."
"Shut up! If my sister poisoned you, you should have just obediently died! Who told you to fight back and kill her? And you dare slander my ancestor? You deserve to die ten thousand times over!!"
"You!!"
Pfft!
The Star Extreme Immortal King was so enraged that the anger attacked his heart, causing him to spit out another large mouthful of blood, becoming increasingly withered and weak.
"Marquis of Divine Martiality! You bastard, how dare you ambush This Emperor's family!"
Gu Qingfeng was anxious. He never expected that his family, who was about to escape alive, would be thwarted at the last moment by this kid interfering!
The Star Extreme Immortal King fell to the ground, heavily injured and unable to run further.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng had to use the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens with full force, blocking in front of the Star Extreme Immortal King like a teleportation.
Meanwhile, the three Quasi-Immortal Kings and the Marquis surrounded them with savage grins.
Thus, Gu Qingfeng and his companion were completely surrounded and trapped in a desperate situation.
The Star Extreme Immortal King's face turned ashen, and a wave of despair welled up in his heart.
To think that he, a formidable figure of his generation, a dignified Immortal King powerhouse, would die at the hands of these ants.
However, when he saw Gu Qingfeng's imposing back blocking in front of him, he secretly made a certain determination in his heart.
"Gu Qingfeng, I can't escape today. Take my Immortal King Weapon, the Star Extreme Orb, and run! With your strength, as long as you don't worry about me, you will definitely be able to escape alive. Avenge me in the future!"
The Star Extreme Immortal King actually started distributing his inheritance and making a will.
Gu Qingfeng bent down, looking at the Star Extreme Immortal King's resolute appearance. His expression was dark and uncertain, as if he were also undergoing some kind of internal struggle.
The Star Extreme Immortal King urged anxiously, "Stop acting like a timid little girl! We cultivators must be ruthless and decisive! Don't worry about me! Take This King's Immortal King Weapon. Once you achieve the status of Immortal King in the future, avenge me with blood! Go!"
At this moment, the three Quasi-Immortal Kings sealing the void laughed wildly: "Want to run? None of you are escaping today!"
The surrounding void was completely sealed; it was truly impossible to fly out.
Amidst their wild laughter, Gu Qingfeng took the Star Extreme Orb and slowly stood up. As he rose, a terrifying aura seemed to condense on his body. In that moment, it was as if an eternal ferocious demon had walked out of the abyss.
He turned around, calmly gazing at everyone present, his eyes containing a depth that was almost tangible.
"Gu Qingfeng, death is at your door. If you have any tricks left, use them now."
"Although you are hard to kill, after we deal with the Star Extreme Immortal King, we will join forces to seal you and bring you before the Immortal King lords to see if you die then! Hahaha..."
They laughed maniacally, victory within their grasp.
"Are you done laughing?"
A calm voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, interrupted their laughter.
It was Gu Qingfeng.
They stared at Gu Qingfeng. One of the Quasi-Immortal Kings, who was nothing but skin and bones, grinned. "No."
"Good, very good!" Gu Qingfeng suddenly clapped his hands. His eyes, filled with endless demonic light, fixed on the three of them as he slowly said, "You think you've got This Emperor figured out?"
"Is there any other possibility?"
"Sigh, why force me? This Emperor didn't want it to come to this. I just wanted to reunite with my family and heal my family member's injuries. But you scum just had to come and ruin it! Since that's the case, This Emperor will just consider the Star Tears as having been fed to a dog."
Star Extreme Immortal King: "???"
The scruffy Daoist-looking Quasi-Immortal King frowned. He was skilled in the art of deducing heavenly secrets and could sense danger on a whim before it arrived.
Originally confident of victory, he now heard a trace of danger in Gu Qingfeng's words.
"This kid is acting strange! We can't delay any longer. Kill the Star Extreme Immortal King quickly, then seal this brat!"
Hearing the scruffy Daoist's grave tone, the other two felt a chill in their hearts. They knew how powerful the old Daoist's deduction and perception were. Without hesitation, they exchanged glances and immediately attacked the Star Extreme Immortal King.
Unexpectedly, a savage laugh that sounded both divine and demonic suddenly rang out.
"Jie jie jie... You want to kill This Emperor's family? You're dreaming! This Emperor's family can only die by This Emperor's own hand!!"
"Grasp of the Underworld!"
A terrifying gate of the Underworld rose behind Gu Qingfeng. The doors crashed open, and countless hideous ghostly hands reached out, grabbed the Star Extreme Immortal King, and dragged him inside.
Seeing this scene, the three Quasi-Immortal Kings were instantly stunned. What kind of move was this? Why did Gu Qingfeng suddenly attack the Star Extreme Immortal King?
It was only because they hadn't watched anime or read web novels that they didn't know: when big villains fall into desperate situations, they always devour their nearby companions or subordinates to increase their strength.
"Gu Qingfeng! What are you doing!?" The Star Extreme Immortal King was also startled.
Gu Qingfeng looked at him calmly and said indifferently, "Go in peace. This Emperor will avenge you. You must understand, the one killing you isn't This Emperor, but them!"
"Bullshit! It was clearly you!" The Star Extreme Immortal King had already been pulled halfway in; only his head and arms remained exposed outside the Gates of the Underworld. His hands clawed desperately at the edge of the portal.
"Stop resisting. Be obedient and merge with This Emperor. Hand over your power. I will use this strength to avenge you. Star Extreme, you know this: I truly did not want it to come to this. They forced my hand. If you must blame someone, blame them."
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
