Chapter 487 It's easy to spare her life, but give me back my senior brother's life; Gu Yue
Chapter 487 It's easy to spare her life, but give me back my senior brother's life; Gu Yue: Damn old man!
Upon seeing this, Long Yeyue was terrified. She scrambled to her feet and dodged away, shouting angrily, "Guan Yue, are you out of your mind? I am your master's wife! How dare you lay a hand on me?"
"You vicious, venomous woman, how dare you still act like an elder even now!"
Guan Yue concentrated all his energy and spirit into this single shot. He was determined to kill this wicked woman who had toyed with the feelings of his teacher and senior brother on the spot, so as to comfort their spirits in heaven.
Long Yeyue's essence and blood had been burned up in large quantities in order to escape the pursuit of the God of Love, and her origin was severely damaged, and she has not been able to recover to this day.
Faced with Guan Yue's furious, deadly thrust, she could already sense death approaching. No longer caring about saving face, she cried out in terror, "Ancestor, save me!"
Before the words were finished, a ball of golden-red flames appeared from the void, accompanied by a loud and high-pitched phoenix cry.
The flames easily deflected Guan Yue's murderous attack.
Then, a slightly plump man emerged from the flames. His fingers lightly touched the tip of the Heaven-Slaying Spear, his eyes filled with a complex emotion. He sighed, "Killing one's teacher is not an act of benevolence. I wonder if you could give me the honor of sparing her life today?"
"Spare her life is easy, but give me back my senior brother's life!"
Seeing that his attack had been blocked, Guan Yue shouted loudly, his beard and hair bristling, and his aura soared to the extreme, like a god or a demon.
The four-character battle armor on his body seemed to be inspired by its master, and burned fiercely like flames.
A white six-pointed star formation rose from beneath his feet, and his eyes shone like stars, making him seem like an unstoppable demon lord descending from the heavens.
The sheer power that erupted in that instant caused Ma Hongjun to unconsciously squint his eyes.
Watching Guan Yue regain her youth in an instant by burning her life force and exude a heart-stopping aura, Ma Hongjun felt a vague unease rise in his heart.
"Are you really risking your life to forcefully burn your very essence to break through to the god level?!"
Faced with Ma Hongjun's furious shout, Guan Yue had already disregarded her own life and death.
With a flick of his wrist, he drew back and released the Heavenly Spear, then thrust it forward once more.
The culmination of his life's cultivation, achieved through burning away his entire essence, was completely integrated into this simple and unadorned spear thrust. Countless thoughts surged and churned in Guan Yue's mind, yet his heart reached an unprecedented state of clarity at this moment.
"Senior brother, so this is the realm you felt after your breakthrough. It seems that heaven has not been unkind to me, allowing me to personally touch and see the power of that world in the last moment of my life."
After I kill that wicked woman and avenge you, I will never let you feel even a little lonely on your journey to the underworld!
Hiding behind Ma Hongjun, Long Yeyue faced Guan Yue's resolute divine stab. Already weakened by the forced burning of her essence blood, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She truly felt the threat of death, but her withered body could no longer squeeze out its life essence to support her escape as before.
With nowhere to hide, Long Yeyue could only tremble uncontrollably, pleading incoherently, "This—this really wasn't what I wanted to do! That pill was personally entrusted to me by Ancestor A Yin to retrieve from the Haotian Sect and give to him. If I had known there was a trap involved, how could I have harmed him!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun, who had originally intended to do his best to save Long Yeyue's life and keep her for future use, was now in a different situation.
However, upon learning that this matter was so closely connected with Ah Yin and the Haotian Sect, his heart sank. This was clearly a crucial part of Tang Hao's long-planned scheme.
Then, thinking back to what Tang Hao had just told him through the remote communication soul tool, if Long Yeyue were allowed to continue to leak Tang Hao's many schemes regarding Yun Ming, it would undoubtedly arouse suspicion among the remaining high-ranking members of the academy.
As Ma Hongjun's thoughts raced, the blazing phoenix flames reignited in the void.
This time, however, the flames were merely for show, failing to even momentarily stop Guan Yue's attack.
The fleeting beauty that Guan Yue had cultivated throughout her life blossomed fully as this deadly spear pierced Long Yeyue.
Long Yeyue didn't even have time to utter a scream before her body melted away in the void under the incandescent light of the spear.
Having avenged his great grudge, Guan Yue put away the Yue Tian Divine Spear and stood tall. His gaze fell silently on Yun Ming, who was lying in a coffin beside him, and a deep sorrow was revealed in his eyes.
Then, he bowed respectfully to Ma Hongjun and said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, ancestor."
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun stepped aside to avoid the bow, looked at Guan Yue with a complicated and unfathomable expression, sighed heavily, and transmitted his voice: "The reason I made this choice is not as noble as you think."
People with different paths cannot make plans together, and there is just too much turmoil in this world. Getting out of this quagmire sooner might not be such a bad thing for you.
I also promise you that I will give Yunming a proper burial. After all, things have come to this point because the academy has failed you first.
Having received such a solemn promise from Ma Hongjun, Guan Yue looked somewhat relieved.
He glanced at the Shrek Academy executives who were still stunned and speechless, then looked up at the sky, his body radiating a soft glow.
"Senior brother, it's a bit cold on the road to the Yellow Springs, so I'm coming to join you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Guan Yue's body suddenly exploded, turning into countless stardust fragments that scattered and dissipated into the void.
Zhuoshi and the others were still in shock, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
Why would Guan Yue, who is usually the most composed, go to such lengths, even bearing the infamy of murdering her teacher?
Recalling the images that Guan Yue had just materialized using her mental power, they had no choice but to acknowledge the facts, even if they didn't want to believe them.
Yun Ming turned into a demon entirely because of the scheming of Long Yeyue and A Yin's ancestor!
Furthermore, given the inseparable connection between the Haotian Sect and the Tang Sect, could it be that not only are the Tang Sect and the Holy Spirit Cult secretly colluding, but the Haotian Sect is also involved?
Upon considering this possibility, Zhuoshi and the others turned deathly pale.
As if sensing the strangeness in everyone's hearts, Ma Hongjun, who was still immersed in complicated emotions, suddenly darkened his face and let out a cold snort.
That cold snort, carrying divine pressure, exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap, instantly startling Zhuo Shi and the others into breaking out in a cold sweat and snapping them back to their senses.
"You all probably already know about the explosion in Tiandou City. But I want to say that there is no shady connection between the Tang Sect and the Holy Spirit Cult."
That happened because the federal government was secretly targeting the Tang Clan. Caught off guard, the Tang Clan was exploited by the Holy Spirit Cult, who detonated the underground facilities, leading to last night's irreversible tragedy.
Ma Hongjun paused for a moment, observing everyone's reactions, before continuing, "But now the die is cast, and the Tang Clan is unable to defend itself, and has even been accused of being a terrorist organization."
Moreover, given this incident and the public's anger, the federal government is highly likely to launch a full-scale attack on the college. My purpose in coming here was precisely to preserve the last embers of the college.
I will lead you, along with the surviving members of the Tang Clan, to the Star Luo Continent in secret. This is not an escape, but a necessary strategic retreat.
Before long, when the time is right, you will be able to lead the Star Luo lineage back to Douluo Continent and reclaim their former glory.
These words were not impassioned, and coupled with Guan Yue's act of sacrificing herself for righteousness, they made Ma Hongjun feel even more lost and dejected when he said them.
Although Tang Hao did not reveal the truth about the explosion in Tiandou City to him, just looking at the order he gave to go to the Star Luo Empire to find Dai Mubai and start an inter-empire war.
This undoubtedly makes it clear from the side that a large number of blood sacrifices are needed to revive the Third Brother.
Ma Hongjun is not crazy; this kind of behavior that disregards human life has long crossed the line.
But his third brother had always been kind to him, so how could he give up the only hope of bringing his brother back to life?
The several high-ranking members of the academy present were shocked to hear that they were to abandon the foundation that Shrek Academy had built up over thousands of years and go to another continent. They looked at each other in disbelief, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
In the silence, Feng Wuyu coughed twice and, steeling himself, voiced his objection to Ma Hongjun: "Ancestor, is our trip to the Star Luo Continent a free choice or a mandatory requirement? I've lived most of my life on the Douluo Continent, and I'm truly reluctant to leave."
"Those who are willing to go can go with us, and those who are unwilling to go together will automatically leave Shrek Academy at this moment. From now on, whether they live or die, they will have no further connection with the academy."
Ma Hongjun waved his hand and simply replied, "Let me make this clear to you: my boss, Dai Mubai, is in the Star Luo Continent."
My purpose in going there was precisely to discuss important matters with him. Time is of the essence; those who wish to leave should gather at Poseidon Island Square in half an hour. Latecomers will not be waited for.
"Yes, we understand what our ancestors meant."
Within the dark and deep canyon, a chilling wind howled, and not a trace of life remained. Only countless undead creatures, piled up from withered bones, marched in unison toward a certain point.
They seemed to be drawn by something, rushing forward fearlessly, only to be instantly crushed into dust by the entity that shimmered with a terrifying blue-purple light.
Harosa, who had come from Tiandou City to Death Valley, was now standing on a high ground watching this scene.
-
Those dark gray eyes were filled with fanaticism for the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd that was stuck diagonally in the ground.
"As expected of a super artifact capable of breaking free from dimensional limitations, even in this ownerless state, the power emanating from it is still terrifying. If it weren't for the secret technique given by the Abyss Saint King, even I would have difficulty getting close."
Harosa sighed slightly, then leaped down from the high ground and landed steadily on the ground.
As he walked step by step toward the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, the undead creatures around him automatically parted to the sides, making way for him.
The closer one gets, the more one can feel the sharp aura emanating from the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, a aura that seems capable of easily severing everything in the world.
Seeing this, Harosa no longer concealed his aura.
As he chanted obscure and incomprehensible incantations, streams of gray-black death energy surged forth, continuously washing over the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.
The already desolate and bleak environment of Death Valley now appears even more oppressive.
As time passed, under Harosa's almost relentless refining, the light on the surface of the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd gradually became transparent, while the halberd itself began to shimmer with an even more eerie and unpredictable luster.
"Come!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Harosa suddenly roared.
He took a sudden step forward, reached out and grasped, and the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd instantly transformed into a streak of light, landing steadily in Harosa's hand.
Upon handling it, under the unique aura of the divine artifact, Harosa immediately felt the soul power that had been stagnant within him begin to surge. The light and ethereal feeling made him feel as if he had transcended the constraints of this world.
They even had the illusion that they were above all the rules of the world, and that crossing the threshold to godhood would be an easy thing.
"Good, good, good—"
Harosa's voice trembled with excitement as he repeatedly said, "The Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, during the time it is in my hands, I will certainly not disgrace your former reputation."
The divine artifact possessed a spirit, and the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd seemed to sense Harosa's inner joy.
The halberd vibrated slightly in response, emitting a series of clear and melodious sounds.
Seeing the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd so compliant, Harosa felt even more satisfied and wished he could completely possess this divine artifact.
In his ecstasy at consuming a large amount of soul power and obtaining the divine artifact, he was completely unaware that at the very moment the halberd trembled, a wisp of gray-black energy with extremely subtle mental fluctuations was silently flowing out of the halberd and then quickly disappearing into Harosa's body.
On the summit of a desolate, snow-covered mountain in the Star Luo Continent, the once calm and still void suddenly twisted violently, gradually emanating a dazzling nine-colored halo.
The halo grew denser and denser, eventually coalescing into a hole of light from which a figure was violently thrown out.
Just as Huo Yuhao and the others were mercilessly thrown out of the Dragon Tomb for angering the Dragon God, Gu Yue, who came to find the truth, was also thrown out by the Dragon God.
Gu Yue stood still in the void, her once cool face now completely covered with anger.
"That damned old man, all I did was speak a few truths and hit a nerve, and he got so worked up."
"If I weren't outmatched, I would have pulled your remains out of the dragon tomb piece by piece and ground them into powder!"
Just like what Huo Yuhao and the others had experienced before, after learning the true reason for the destruction of the Dragon God Realm and the truth about why soul beasts could not become gods in the historical memories reconstructed by the Dragon God, Gu Yue had lost all respect for the so-called Dragon God.
