Urban All-Round Master

”Swish!”

The Supreme Emperor once again advanced step by step, his five fingers like dragons, opening and closing aggressively, directly targeting Liu Jiuhuang’s throat. If this strike hit Liu Jiuhuang, even if she survived, she would be severely injured.

The Supreme Emperor, even if he were to harm his own body, possessed an extremely ferocious combat power. Even Liu Jiuhuang at her peak might not easily prevail against the Supreme Emperor at his peak!

Whew~ Liu Jiuhuang floated up, her body incredibly light. She knew the ferocity of the Supreme Emperor; clashing directly with him would inevitably result in injury, so she could only evade him.

”Trying to leave? Not so easily!” The Supreme Emperor squinted his eyes, seeing Liu Jiuhuang appearing ready to leave. There’s no way he would let Liu Jiuhuang depart so easily. With a subtle curve of his mouth, he moved a single step that spanned ten, gently shifting until he was merely a few paces away from Liu Jiuhuang again. His large hands swept toward her once more. He did not use his Forget Love Sword, relying solely on his fists and physical body, without even deploying his Domain. One can imagine the level of Realm this man had reached.

Supreme Forget Love, Heartless, Absolutely Unsentimental. This speaks of such ruthless individuals! Once they’re ruthless, no one can stop them.

”Liu Jiuhuang, for the last time, will you admit defeat?”

The Supreme Emperor halted his steps, not continuing his pursuit of Liu Jiuhuang. If he truly wanted to kill Liu Jiuhuang, it wouldn’t be too difficult. He wasn’t just fixated on killing Liu Jiuhuang; that would be meaningless.

Liu Jiuhuang maintained her indifference, not answering him, continuing to run into the distance.

”Very well, since you are so stubborn, there’s nothing more to say.” The Supreme Emperor squinted again, with a swoosh, a shadow swiftly transformed into a beam of light amidst the forest, sweeping toward Liu Jiuhuang. Facing the enemy behind, like a god of carnage, Liu Jiuhuang did not panic. Life and death are in the hands of fate; if she were to die here today, there would be nothing more to say.

”Whoosh, whoosh~” Two red streaks pierced through the Void, filling the skies with a layer of blood light, attempting to obscure the Supreme Emperor’s sight.

”Break!”

The Supreme Emperor lightly rebuked, swinging his Iron Fist straight at the multitude of red streaks, shattering them all with a single punch. His eyes flashed sharply; upon capturing Liu Jiuhuang’s aura, he moved as swiftly as lightning, his steps like Thunderbolt. ”Boom!”

A punch was thrown, like a scorching wave of energy fiercely surging toward Liu Jiuhuang. At this moment, Liu Jiuhuang was already heavily injured and severely depleted of Elemental Power. To confront the Supreme Emperor head-on would still be far off.

Pop!

Liu Jiuhuang swung her hands desperately to resist the opponent’s Fist Light, but her strength was insufficient, sending her flying dozens of meters into a large rock.

The rock exploded into hundreds of small fragments with a rumble. Dust and stone powder drifted through the air. Liu Jiuhuang, gravely injured, spat out a large pool of blood, her Life Force rapidly declining.

”Immortal Suppressing Tripod!” Suddenly—Shen Wuheng, having regained control of the Immortal Suppressing Tripod, saw Liu Jiuhuang defeated and intended to deliver a fatal blow with the tripod. If this woman wasn’t killed now, it would be even more difficult to kill her in the future. With this thought, Shen Wuheng disregarded his reputation. There were only a few of them here, united in the resolve to kill Liu Jiuhuang.

However, as Shen Wuheng jumped into the air, intending to crush Liu Jiuhuang with the Immortal Suppressing Tripod, the Supreme Emperor cast a cold glance, shielding the sky with a single hand, slapping the tripod hundreds of meters away. Whoosh~ the tripod emitted endless purple energy, shooting hundreds of meters away.

”Supreme Emperor, what are you doing!”

Shen Wuheng was startled, his hands numb with pain, blood oozing through the skin of his palms, ready to burst forth.

”Do you think it’s honorable to launch a sneak attack like this?”

The Supreme Emperor carried his hands behind his back, turning coldly, his immense Killing Aura dominating the scene. Great Wilderness Saint Master and Qingchi Saintess, who initially intended to speak, upon witnessing this, decided better of it. Incurring the wrath of this mad Supreme Emperor could very likely lead to everyone here dying today.

”At a time like this, does honor really matter? As long as this woman lives, she will be a colossal threat to us. Why not seize this opportunity and eliminate her quickly?” Shen Wuheng fumed, his chest heaving, clenching his teeth with thoughts, convinced the arrogant Supreme Emperor’s overconfidence in his own high level of Cultivation might one day lead to his own demise.

”Slap!”

The Supreme Emperor, unwilling to bother with him, suddenly struck. The air trembled fiercely as the strongest energy waves gathered, forming an enormous hand that came crashing down on Shen Wuheng.

”Pft!”

Shen Wuheng opened his mouth, spewing a mouthful of blood.

His eyes were cold and resentful at the Supreme Emperor, but he could not retaliate, intercepted by the Great Wilderness Saint Master and Qingchi Saintess. The three exchanged glances, not daring to act rashly.

”This has nothing to do with you. Leave now.”

The Supreme Emperor’s voice echoed through the forest.

The three Great Eastern Kings exchanged glances. Since the Supreme Emperor forbade them from interfering, why persist? They worried that if the Supreme Emperor, overcome with murderous intent, killed Liu Jiuhuang and then turned on them, they’d be in trouble. They knew well the ferocity of the Supreme Emperor.

Should he truly go mad, it would be hard to withstand with their current injured states.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~ The three quickly left the small forest one after another.

In response to the seemingly ambiguous act of the Supreme Emperor, Liu Jiuhuang stood tall, her gaze still cold and detached.

”Liu Jiuhuang, why do you insist on this? If you concede defeat and let go of everything, perhaps we could remain good friends. After all, we have known each other for a long time. Now, past acquaintances have either died or left. Must you force me to kill you?”

In the dense forest, the Supreme Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, shaking his head with each step.

He truly did not wish to kill Liu Jiuhuang. Born in the same era, most acquaintances from that time were gone. Killing Liu Jiuhuang would leave him unbearably lonely.

”Supreme Emperor, on my deathbed, I have a small request. Can you grant it?” Finally, Liu Jiuhuang, her eyes shifting, spoke up.

”What request?”

”I have a daughter at Beiming Mansion. My death doesn’t matter, but I don’t wish for my daughter to face the same doom. I ask you to spare her. Such a request from a mother on her deathbed is not too much, is it?”

”...”

The Supreme Emperor was taken aback, his gaze turning solemn. He never expected the famously heartless and indifferent Liu Jiuhuang could still be so mindful of her daughter, lowering herself to make such a request. It was unexpected for him.

”Alright. I promise you.” He nodded.

Feeling content with this promise, Liu Jiuhuang ceased resisting, gently closing her beautiful eyes, awaiting the final blow.

Suddenly...

As the Supreme Emperor took a step, a strong wind arose in the forest.

”Supreme Emperor!”

A loud voice reverberated through the woods.
