Chapter 305: He Jin takes action
"What you all here for then?"
Zhou Donghuang asked casually and his words made it seem as though he was truly ignorant as to why the others were here.
This perceived ignorance was further demonstrated through his lack of reaction or change in his temperament.
"To kill you!"
Chu Weimo spoke up. "For a threat like you, since you refuse to join the Qi Dynasty, there is only one other option, which is for you to die... Your fate was decided the moment you chose to reject first the 14th Prince and next the Seventh Prince of the Qi Dynasty previously..."
"It seems as though the Qi Dynasty is extremely scared of me."
Zhou Donghuang smiled and this was an extremely relaxed smile for someone who was facing a life or death situation.
"Hmph!"
The old man had on a guarded and cautious expression as Chu Weimo and Zi Menghu glanced beadily at Zhou Donghuang, as if they were about to take action at any moment. Suddenly, something whizzed past in the end and this was an extremely well-timed arrival.
Within an instant, under the gaze of the three people, a figure materialized and he appeared at Zhou Donghuang's side very quickly.
"He Jin?"
Seeing the arrivla of He Jin, Chu Weimo frowned slightly before glancing cautiously in the direction that He JIn ahd came from. After discovering that there was no one else following behind, his frown was replaced by a relaxed expression again.
If only He Jin was present, there was nothing much to fear.
After all, He Jin was at the same Primordial Soul stage as him.
Perhaps, if they duelled one on one, He Jin would be able to win the fight.
However, now, they had three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts present. If these three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts were to join forces, even the strongest ultimate Primordial Soul adept of the Lightning Sword Sect would not be able to defeat them, let alone the Autumn Valley Sect Leader, He Jin!
"The Valley Head of the Lightning Sword Sect Autumn Valley?"
As Chu Weimo shouted out He Jin's name, the two beside him all recognized his identity. Although they had never met him, they had heard of him.
"What are you three of the Qi Dynasty doing here?"
Out of the three before him, He Jin had only met one person before and this was Weimo. He had met Weimowhen the 14th Prince of the Qi Dynasty had first visited the Lightning Sword Sect with Weimo and that had been their first meeting. He knew that Weimo was loyal to the Qi Dynasty and was an ultimate Primordial Soul adept.
"Qi Dynasty?"
Upon hearing He Jin's words, Weimo merely replied shortly, "we are not people of the Qi Dynasty. You are mistaken."
It was clear that Weimo had no intention of admitting to his identity.
In any case, the deed that they were about to carry out was not an honorable one at all.
"Let's get rid of them for once and for all!"
The next sentence was uttered by Weimo in an extremely straightforward and undisturbed manner.
Seconds after Weimo's words had been uttered, other than him, the two men beside him attacked at the same time. The strong Primordial Soul powers visibly rose up like three towering, giant mountains. As they rose up, they looked like gods of war that would cover the skies and light shone in halos around them.
Weimo's Primordial Soul power was shaped like three huamns and it was clearly a three figured Primoridal Soul power, adding on strength to the outer powers of the other two.
Boom!
Weimo's Primordial Soul Power reached out and heavily dealth a blow to Zhou Donghuang and He Jin's heads like a giant mountain crashing down from the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Chai Menghu's Primordial Soul power was weilding a knife. Without much effort, he managed to shoot beams of gleaming knives towards Zhou Donghuang and He Jin, and the scene looked as if knives were raining down from the skies.
Crash!
As for the Primordial Soul power of the remaining old man, his previouly frail frame was now suddenly expanded. With one fist, chaos rained down as if he had managed to knock a hole in the skies. A humungous fist the size of a giant meteorite appeared and flew towards Zhou Donghuang and He Jin at a ridiculous speed.
The combined attacks by the three people surrounded Zhou Donghuang and He Jin thoroughly and it was clear that they intended to kill both individuals at the same time.
Towards this hostile attack by the three people, Zhou Donghuang maintained a calm and undisturbed expression, standing where he was casually. As for He Jin, who was standing by his side, he too stared impassively at the combined attack by the three enemies.
As the three enemies' attacks approached Zhou Donghuang and He Jin, He Jin spoke up with an indifferent tone. "If this were the me of three months ago, I would probably die facing the three of you today... It's a pity for you that the me now is vastly different from the me of three months ago!"
Almost instantly after He Jin had spoken, his body suddenly became illusory and increased in size. His Primordial Soul power, which was as big as a huge mountain, rose up in the endless sky and it was so big that it was looked to be able to pluck down planets and destroy seas.
An overwhelming and scary aura filled the air as this Primordial Soul adept, He Jin, shot out beams of clear and sharp swords like arrows. His Primordial Soul power surrounded him like a Primordial Soul stage version of the Sword God Dharma Power, looking extremely magnificent as it swirled in the air.
As He Jin revealed his Primordial Soul powers, the other three Primordial Souladepts as well as other bystanders of the Primordial Soul stage now had on extremely shocked expressions.
He was much stronger than the others had thought and the three Primordial Soul adepts now regretted belittling him. They had originally attacked as a trio with the intention to kill both Zhou Donghuang and He Jin at the same time to present to the Qi Dynasty. However, upon seeing the Primordial Soul power that He Jin had demonstrated, the three big ultimate Primordial Soul adepts' eyes collectively widened and their facial expressions changed dramatically.
"A Divine Transformation adept?!"
The trio almost collectively shouted out at the same time and their tone was full of shock and disbelief. Clearly, they had imagined that the Lightning Sword Sect Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, would be a Divine Transformation adept.
In the entire Lightning Sword Sect, even if another Divine Transformation adept was produced, surely He Jin had not been one of those with that potential?
How did He Jin achieve this?
"This is the first time I, He Jin, am using my power after crossing over into the Divine Transformation stage."
He Jin's voice rang out and it was clear and loud, causing the entire planet to tremble
"Since you three have barged in here, you will also die here today!"
As he spoke, almost instantly, that giant Primordial Soul power of He Jin's that was as big as a mountain now opened its mouth and spat out countless numbers of swords that looked like flashing beams of light. These beams of swords immediately broke up the combined attack of the trio and turned them into useless dust.
"This is not good! He is not just a typical Divine Transformation adept!"
"My goodness! This level of attack is not possible for even a mid Divine Transformation adept!"
"This He Jin actually managed to conceal such strong powers!"
...
The facial expressions of Chu Weimo and his two companions changed again. This time, they exchanged glances of extreme determination.
Afterwards, the trio headed for different directions and flew far away.
The strength of He Jin's was far more than they had imagined.
Even with the full force of their combined attack, which they had unleashed like a giant ball of fury, it was not able to combat even a single attack by He Jin's Primordial Soul power, which had spat out countless swords in beams of light.
The He Jin of now was definitely much stronger than even an average mid Divine Transformation adept's powers!
On the other hand, they could very well confirm that He Jin's essential core was only that of an early Divine Transformation adept's and the ability of his to demonstrate this shocking level of skill was only because his methods were extremely unique. One could also say that the training method he used was rather peculiar.
"At least one of us has to live long enough to return home to report this matter... This training method by He JIn has definitely topped even the best training method of the Qi Dynasty!"
"Run!"
...
For the trio, when they had first arrived, they had been showy and arrogant as they had assumed that everything was well within their control.
Even when He Jin had first arrived, they had not cared much as they felt that killing Zhou Donghuang alone or killing him alongside He Jin would make little difference.
However, never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that He Jin had become a Divine Transformation adept, let alone the fact that he was able to demonstrate a Divine Transformation power that was stronger than that of a typical mid Divine Transformation adept at the early Divine Transformation stage!
"You wish to escape?"
He JIn watched this scene with a smile and casually waved his right hand. Immediately, a beam of swords that looked like shards of glass whipped through the air like a glass shooting star.
Swish!
Swish!
With this attack by He Jin, Chu Weimo as well the old man's souls disintegrated and their bodies vanished instantly.
They had been mid-way through their escape and had not even the time to drop their shocked expressions before they werre hit.
Swish!
The swords flying cut through the air and created a glimmering path in the infinite universe as they made whooshing noises. The giant, towering Primordial Soul power of He Jin's continue to shoot out these swords and within an instant, managed to focus on the remaining middle-aged man, Chai Menghu.
As Chai Menghu froze, he had the sudden realization that his fellow comrades were already dead and his face changed to become as white as a sheet.
"He Jin!"
Glancing at He Jin, who was standing before him, Chai Menghu's eyes flashed and he forced himself to swallow the fear that was rising up within him. In a gravelly voice, he yelled out, "You can't kill me! If you kill me, the Qi Dynasty will not forgive the Lightning Sword Sect!
"The three of us were sent here by the Seventh Prince of the Qi Dynasty and we were under an oath to assasinate Zhou Donghuang.
"As for the Seventh Prince of the Qi Dynasty, he had received the permission of King Qi before he had given this order.
"If all three of us were to die here, the Qi Dynasty would definitely carry out a thorough investigation and this would implicate the entire Lightning Sword Sect... At that point, none of you would be able to survive!"
As he spoke, Chai Menghu could not resist adding in some baiting words as well. "If I were to be alive, well, the situation would be different then... I could return to the Qi Dynasty and vouch for the fact that the other two had died accidental deaths. The Qi Dynasty would not think to exact revenge on the Lightning Sword Sect then and you would not be implicated!
"Although you are powerful and stronger than any typical mid Divine Transformation adept... However, King Qi as well as the other late Divine Transformation adepts of the Qi Dynasty will be able to triumph over you very quickly. They would also take the chane to kill the other two Divine Transformation adepts of your Lightning Sword Sect!"
After he had uttered such a lengthy speech, Chai Menghu assumed that He Jin would stop to consider the suggestion he had made.
However, he had not expected that He Jin would merely glance and him and reply, "What Qi Dynasty? Are you representatives of the Qi Dynasty?
"Just now, your companion mentioned that you three are not from the Qi Dynasty, after all."
As he spoke, sparkling swords emerged from He Jin's body and surrounded the areas near ghim. Tens of thousands of swords all flew in the direction of Chai Menghu.
"No! We are people of the Qi Dynasty!
"Just now, Chu Weimo was trying to conceal our identities. We are actually from the Qi Dynasty, all of us are!
"You can't kill me, you can't-"
As he faced his death, Chai Menghu continued to yell in vain. At the same time, his hands were kept busy as he tried to counter He Jin's attack. However, he eventually perished under the pursuit of the tens of thousands of swords that He Jin had produced and his remains slowly filled the infinite universe.
He Jin's attack was truly too impressive and it caused all bystanders to look on in awe.
Those beams of swords were extremely accurate and sharp, directly allowing He Jin to claim the life of Chai Menghu.
