Chapter 1785: Turning the Tide Around
Rumble...
Three rays of Two-star Spiritual Lights were aimed squarely at Chen Xiaobei. This attack was equivalent to three Two-star Earth Gods working together to kill him. It was definitely a lethal hit. Even if Chen Xiaobei had 30 One-star Earth-God Divine Instruments with him, there was no way that he could defend himself, not with his current highest speed anyway. It was still not enough to dodge the attack.
BAM!
The attack had successfully landed on Chen Xiaobei. The ground cracked. It was as if a massive-scale earthquake had just shaken him. All the people that were standing 300 meters away were shocked to see such a powerful attack. Those with weak cultivation had lost their balance and fell to the ground. When the quake had finally stopped and dust cleared, everyone could see a hole that was hundreds of meters deep and as big as a basketball court in front of the study room.
"Oh god... What just happened? Has our emperor just killed that man in the black robe?"
"I think you are right! I saw three Spiritual Lights land on that man in the black robe. There's no way he can survive that attack even if he is a Two-star Earth God!"
"Our emperor is the most powerful man in this universe! I can't believe that he managed to kill that man in the black robe in such an easy manner!"
"All hail the emperor! All hail the emperor!"
Everyone was cheering for the emperor for he had just achieved something great. People were basically worshipping him right now.
"That man in the black robe was too damn arrogant! How dare he show up in front of the study room alone? Our emperor has fully charged his three Two-star Earth-God Divine Instruments! He can use them to attack his enemy anytime he wants!" said Takao Sansen.
"That's why I say, a well-prepared man will always win the battle! That is why our emperor can kill that black-robed man with a single strike!" said Ishizai Danto.
"The black-robed man is our sworn enemy! Once he is dead, no one will be able to stop us from going to war anymore! Hahaha..." laughed Takao Sansen.
"It's all set in stone now! All we need do to right now is to wait for the emperor to meet us and discuss the date to start the war!" said Ishizai Danto.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "The emperor is coming out from his study room!"
A man in black samurai attire and brown clogs walked out of the study room. His left hand held a saber and in his right a sword. On his ring finger, a ring with a huge gemstone could be seen. It was emanating powerful Spiritual Qi. Clearly, these three items were the only Two-star Earth-God Divine Instruments on Tenshou Starfield! The person that possessed these three items was none other than the emperor himself, Wugui Osama!
"The man in the black robe is dead? Piece of garbage!"
Wugui Osama then walked around to look for Chen Xiaobei's body. He did not manage to find it and so, he kept away his sword and saber. The glow on his ring slowly faded away as well.
"Eh? Isn't that... A Storage Bracelet? That is the storage bracelet of the black-robed man! I believe all Royal Dome's Earth God Divine Instruments are inside it! This is like a gift that fell from heaven!" shouted Wugui Osama.
Phissh...
Suddenly, a stream of black smoke shot out from the Storage Bracelet and hit the emperor right in his face.
"Ugh... Ugh..."
Immediately, his pupils contracted and his face turned black. Before he could call someone to help him, he fell to the ground and started to throw up foam, shuddering violently.
Buzz...
A ripple appeared on a rock at the corner of the giant hole. It was Chen Xiaobei deactivating the special ability of his Nightstalker Outfit.
"Ugh... Ugh..."
The emperor was so shocked by him it was as if he had just seen a ghost.
"You must be really surprised to see me, right? You must also be wondering how the hell I survived the blow from three of your Two-star Earth-God Divine Instruments.
"Ugh..."
The emperor tried to squeeze some words but failed to do so. The hole was at least hundreds of meters deep and there were 200 meters between the emperor and the crowd outside the protection circle. That was why none of them had a clue on what was going on here.
"My Netherspirit Battlescouter had been upgraded recently! The Ultimate Protective Puppet can help to block an attack that comes from anything below a Five-star Earth-God Divine Instrument! You can kill me easily if you have a weapon like that! Unfortunately, your Two-star Earth-God Divine Instrument has caused me no harm whatsoever!"
"Ugh... Ugh..."
"Don't you worry! I will not let you die! At least not now!"
Chen Xiaobei walked towards him and fed the emperor a Heavenly Dog Biscuit that was covered with his Ethereal Force. After that, he employed the same method of removing toxins out of the Neptune holy emperor on Wugui Osama. From this moment onwards, the number one elite on the Nine Zones Heavenly Leaderboard had now become Chen Xiaobei's loyal hound.
.....
Outside of protection circle.
Officers were discussing the incident amongst themselves.
"Why is the emperor not here yet? Could something have happened to him?" asked Wugui Nobita.
"Don't worry! The man in the black robe is dead, and I didn't sense any Spiritual Waves coming out from the hole! The emperor should be doing fine!" said Takao Sansen.
"The emperor is here!" shouted Ishizai Danto.
Immediately, everyone paid attention to the doors. They all saw the emperor jumping out of the hole and striding towards them.
"Greetings emperor! Greetings emperor!"
Every single person looked at the emperor with the utmost adoration.
"At ease! Today, I want to discuss how to deal with the man in the black robe! He is now dead! All of you can go back now!"
"Huh? My king, I thought we are supposed to discuss kickstarting the war at an earlier time?" asked Takao Sansen.
"Who told you that?" said the emperor while glaring at the general.
"Grand chancellor was the one who told me about it!"
"Ishizai Kun! Did I mention anything about that to you?!"
"About this... Yesterday, you asked me to come here to discuss an important matter, right?" said Ishizai Danto.
"I just said I want to discuss killing the man in the black robe! What made you think that I was about to discuss war?" asked the emperor in an angry manner.
