The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 246: Mysterious Statue, Sword Energy Splits Heaven!
Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Mysterious Statue, Sword Energy Splits Heaven!
The Asura King was furious, *this descendant of his truly deserved to die!
How dare he say such things!*
"Once I recover, I’ll find a hidden place and swallow him whole!"
If his head hadn’t been half gone and his mouth mostly missing, he wouldn’t have been able to speak at all.
*He really wanted to eat the Little Asura King!*
After all, there were plenty of Asuras in the Asura Clan, and he had many descendants!
Losing a couple wouldn’t matter to him!
Besides, he was already on the brink of death and didn’t care anymore!
"Father, don’t get angry.
Hear me out!
I really couldn’t hold on any longer!
He had been devouring my physique for so long, and I was just a head left.
This feeling, it’s too unbearable!" The Little Asura King sensed the dense evil aura from the Asura King and the wandering killing intent, and hurriedly explained.
The Asura King, upon hearing the explanation, wanted even more to thrash the Little Asura King.
He frantically worked to restore himself, and soon his head was back to normal.
"You’re just a head and I wasn’t?" he shouted at the Little Asura King immediately.
Yang Yan heard the voice and lowered his head slightly.
*"Recovered so quickly!"* He once again used his Profound Qi to devour the opponent.
The Asura King only managed to say this one sentence before he once again had only half a head left.
"Father, I’ve been suffering for so long!
And you’ve been pressing on top of me all this time!
Can’t you just let me catch a break?" the Little Asura King said defiantly.
*His father was captured, and since they were going to die anyway,*
*he wasn’t afraid of angering the Asura King anymore!*
"That’s much better!" he quietly thought to himself.
The Asura King was angry, but he knew it was futile.
His eyes gazed into the distance, having already lost hope that the Ghost King and King Guisui could win.
They couldn’t win!
The opponent was too strong!
"Only the master can save me!" he thought to himself.
With two screams, King Guisui and the Ghost King were suppressed by the Divine Illusions and captured.
A figure suddenly appeared in the distance, and soon a voice followed.
"Is it over already?"
The voice was steady, entering everyone’s ears with a faint pressure.
The Asura King, Ghost King, and King Guisui, on the verge of despair and accepting death, suddenly felt hope reignite within them, their expressions filled with surprise and joy.
"It’s the master!"
Was it their master?
The newcomer was even more powerful!
The Little Golden Man manipulated the Shuo Jin Saint King and moved to Yang Yan’s side.
Several Divine Illusions held the Little Ghost King, Ghost Princess, King Guisui, and Ghost King, bringing them close to Yang Yan for protection.
"They’re all captured? Did I arrive late?" The voice grew nearer.
Finally, with a sound, a stone statue stood not far from Yang Yan and the others.
The carving of this statue was very simple, even the face was incomplete.
Let alone the legs that hadn’t been separated, they merely formed a silhouette, joined together standing on a stone circle.
It only resembled a humanoid shape!
It stood not far away, holding a stone blade in its arms.
Its eyes were open, but vacant.
The stone circle beneath its feet rotated, scanning the figures present.
"Divine Illusions, Saint King’s Corpse!
And within the Saint King’s Corpse, there’s something extraordinary!
Oh!
And there’s one young man even I can’t see through!" the statue exclaimed.
"No wonder he could crush the Asura Army, defeat the Asura King, and capture King Guisui and the Ghost King!"
It finished speaking hauntingly, staring directly at Yang Yan.
"Could you return the Asura King, King Guisui, and the Ghost King to me?"
Yang Yan naturally wouldn’t agree to hand over the Asura King, King Guisui, and the Ghost King that he had captured.
He still needed the three of them to enhance his power!
"They are my spoils of war, beings I’ve taken a liking to!
Who are you and why should I return them to you?" Yang Yan replied.
This statue before him was bizarre, and its cultivation was unfathomable.
However, Yang Yan was still unafraid of it.
If the statue wanted what he had, it would need to have the strength to take it!
"Since you don’t want to hand them over, then I won’t force you!" the statue said afterward.
The expressions of the Asura King, King Guisui, and the Ghost King were rigid.
"Master..."
The statue remained indifferent.
"Don’t call me master anymore, you win some, you lose some.
You’re incompetent and lost, so you should be dealt with by him!
Although it’s a pity that you’ve grown to this point with difficulty, serving me and achieving significant results, working hard.
But it doesn’t change the fact that you’re weaker than others!"
The Asura King, King Guisui, and the Ghost King fell silent.
They knew well the statue’s nature!
And the statue wasn’t wrong, leaving them speechless.
"But you are my subordinates.
You were hurt and captured by him.
I ultimately can’t let it go easily, I must intervene!
If I retreat now, who would dare work for me in the future?" the statue said coldly.
It slowly placed the stone blade from its arms downward.
One hand grasped the scabbard, while the other gripped the hilt.
"Do you intend to attack, to kill me?" Yang Yan asked calmly.
The statue didn’t answer, gently unsheathing the blade.
The color of heaven and earth changed, casting everything into shadows.
When the stone blade was drawn, its brilliance was dazzling.
Yet if viewed closely, the blade was still a stone knife without a sharp edge.
The dazzling brightness came from the sword energy radiating from the blade!
The sword energy rippled, causing the void to fluctuate constantly.
The terrifying power generated intense waves of air.
Even before being completely unsheathed, the influence spanned over thousands of meters.
Suddenly, the statue halted its draw, its gaze fixed.
The grip on the hilt slightly dropped.
With a sound, it seemed like it had been cut from behind by the sword energy.
The void split open with a wide crack reaching the clouds, as if slashing a tear in the sky.
"Hiss!"
This scene was enough to demonstrate the terrifying power it possessed.
Shocking Sheng Chuqing, Feng Xue, the Successor of the Sword Sect, and the Successor Disciple of the Tianling Sect to gasp.
They had thought the statue, although powerful, was someone Yang Yan could handle.
But the strength it displayed now was truly terrifying!
Much stronger than the Asura King, King Guisui, or the Ghost King.
"Why did you stop!" Yang Yan asked calmly.
He was unmoved.
The statue re-embraced the stone blade.
"My master instructed me not to harm you, he wants to meet you, come with me!"
It had a master?
The statue was already strong enough, how terrifying must its master be?
The Asura King, King Guisui, and the Ghost King found this astonishing,
It was the first time they heard that the statue had a master!
"Senior brother, you can’t go, it’s too dangerous!" Sheng Chuqing quickly said.
"Yes, senior brother, you absolutely can’t go!"
Feng Xue, Yun He, the Successor Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Successor Disciple of the Tianling Sect advised as well.
They knew full well the dangers of following along!
"You almost killed me, and now you want me to go with you to meet your master! Do you think I would easily obey?" Yang Yan replied.
He certainly wouldn’t listen to the statue!
"My master knows you wouldn’t trust or obey me!
So he asked me to inform you!
Your invitation involves a transaction discussion.
If you agree, there will be a great opportunity!
If you disagree, you can take the Asura King, King Guisui, and the Ghost King, I won’t intervene.
Moreover, you will be given a piece of Divine Origin!" the statue continued.
A transaction?
Divine Origin?
"You can’t make me believe your words, who knows if you plan to deceive me.
To lure me into a trap you’ve set!
Besides, I already have the Asura King, King Guisui, and the Ghost King. They are mine!
To offer just a piece of Divine Origin for my presence, seems too cheap!" Yang Yan still chose to refuse.
The statue paused!
It reached into the void, pulling out a piece of crystalline, clear Divine Origin from its grasp.
Roughly the size of a human head!
Within this Divine Origin, ripples were known, indicating its pure power!
Once absorbed, it could greatly enhance one’s cultivation!
"How about this piece of Divine Origin?"
Yang Yan squinted; if he devoured this Divine Origin, his cultivation could surely advance another level.
"It’s still not enough to make me believe you!"
Without further words, the statue threw the Divine Origin to Yang Yan.
Yang Yan caught it with one hand and held it.
"What about now?"
Presenting the Divine Origin to Yang Yan first demonstrated their sincerity!
"Why doesn’t your master come to meet me?" Yang Yan didn’t agree immediately.
The statue shook its head.
"I can’t answer that question now, but when you meet my master,
you’ll understand why he’d rather have me hand over a Divine Origin to you first, and invite you over rather than meet you himself!"
