Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5688 There’s Still a Chance

“What’s this?”

The two Emperors prodigies were greatly astonished, but before they could exchange words, a thunderous explosion erupted before them.

Shi Jiu’s eyes glimmered with thunder.

With just a glance, thunder poured down like a waterfall, engulfing the two of them.

Even the Empress couldn’t help but be moved by this scene.

The force just now seemed to exceed her expectations of the Emperors.

Could there truly be Emperors of such immense power in the world?

Muchen’s face turned ashen!

This was somewhat different from the information he had received!

How could the other party be so powerful?

The two Emperors were enveloped in thunder, unable to escape at all, already trapped to death.

“How could he be this strong!”

Neither of them dared to believe it. This thunderous cage had already erupted with a divine power of 150,000-fold, something they couldn’t possibly break through.

Meanwhile, Shi Jiu was casually manipulating the thunderous cage. With just a flick of his hand, he could easily defeat these two.

Huff!

Jian Wushuang shook his head, unwilling to watch any longer. Instead of wasting time here, he might as well act early.

Among those present, except for Wu Li, no one probably had any hope for Jian Wushuang.

Even Empress Fengchen felt hopeless.

Elder Muchen sighed, “Brother Wu Li, this time it’s my fault for the misinformation!”

He had already deemed Jian Wushuang to have no hope at all.

“Brother Muchen, the situation is uncertain. There may still be a chance!” Wu Li said confidently.

This made Elder Muchen somewhat doubtful.

His gaze towards Jian Wushuang was solemn. How could Wu Li be so confident?

Could it be that Jian Wushuang was Wu Li’s illegitimate child?

The more he looked, the more he felt the resemblance between the two!

But since Wu Li had said so, he had no choice but to believe him, directly transmitting his voice to let the two trapped in the Thunder Prison give up.

Those two also felt hopeless, not prepared to persevere much longer.

But upon hearing that Muchen still wanted to withhold treasures, they couldn’t help but feel somewhat displeased.

“Lord Muchen, my two brothers still have a move that can definitely seriously injure the other party, but the price is a bit high!”

After hearing this, Muchen was somewhat incredulous, but still nodded in agreement.

He would bear any cost.

Being able to seriously injure them was the best outcome.

Princess Jincheng behind the screen was thrilled to see this. She hadn’t expected Shi Jiu’s strength to be so formidable, actually being able to easily defeat these three Emperors.

And these two had even erupted with a 136,000-fold divine power.

Though not as strong as her, if they joined forces, she feared it would be difficult to suppress them, let alone defeat them.

Thinking of this, she understood somewhat. Perhaps Shi Jiu didn’t want to harm her, so he had been holding back his strength.

She was a very strong-willed person, quite similar to the Empress in this regard.

Indeed, Shi Jiu had been hiding things from Jincheng for this reason.

Of course, what his father had told him was even more important.

“Surrender, it’s meaningless now!” Shi Jiu controlled the prison with his palm, exerting a slight force, causing the two in the Thunder Prison to almost kneel.

They couldn’t bear it at all.

“Tsk tsk, you are indeed powerful. Clearly having the same divine power, and even inferior to the two of us, yet you can unleash such a powerful move. I admit we can’t win this time!” The two stared at Shi Jiu, indeed ready to give up, but they wouldn’t let him off so easily.

“But, don’t think you’ll have it easy either!”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Jiu’s pupils contracted, instantly sensing a threat approaching. With a forceful palm, he intended to directly defeat the two.

But it was too late!

The Thunder Prison was instantly dissolved by a black mist, and that mass of black fog rushed straight towards him.

The Empress stood up directly from her throne the moment the black fog appeared.

Her eyes were as deep as a Starry Sky, staring at the black mist, fear evident in her eyes.

She had seen and heard of this black mist before.

This was a power not belonging to this era, how could it appear here?

Others couldn’t discern the special nature of the black mist at all.

Even Jian Wushuang, feeling only the force of the black mist consuming, saw nothing particularly unique about it.

But when it assaulted Shi Jiu after dissolving the thunderous cage, a familiar aura struck Jian Wushuang, causing his expression to darken.

The power of Death!

It was an incredibly potent force of Death.

Upon touching Shi Jiu, it instantly devoured much of his vitality.

Shi Jiu’s divine power plummeted in an instant.

Fortunately, the power of Death did not belong to the two Emperors, weakening continuously.

Otherwise, it could have directly strangled Shi Jiu.

This threat was something Shi Jiu had never experienced before, too terrifying.

If an ordinary Tribulation Realm cultivator encountered such a dense black mist, it would likely leave behind a curse, rendering them unable to recover vitality for their entire life.

Fortunately, Shi Jiu was only an Emperor.

Even so, the black mist dissolved nearly half of his body, leaving only bones.

His face was the same, with horrified bones exposed to the outside world.

Jin Chen, witnessing this scene, felt extreme heartache, almost rushing out, but was stopped by the Empress.

Initially, the Empress was also ready to intervene, but at the thought of Jian Wushuang losing again, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

In the end, she held back.

“Haha, he indeed can’t resist it. Let’s strike now!” one of the Emperors laughed.

Seizing the opportunity, the two Emperors attacked again.

Shi Jiu was now at his weakest, unable to withstand the two of them at all.

Even though the strength of the two Emperors had weakened considerably, they still overwhelmed him completely.

Jian Wushuang couldn’t bear to watch anymore. Two against one, resorting to such despicable means.

Moreover, the appearance of the power of Death made him vigilant.

On the other hand, Muchen was excited. With the tide of battle turning, Shi Jiu’s current vulnerability was akin to a blank sheet of paper. Perhaps he wouldn’t even need Jian Wushuang to intervene to win.

Judging from the current situation, it seemed to be true.

Shi Jiu’s divine power had plummeted below 100,000-fold.

But Jian Wushuang didn’t see it that way.

Even though his divine power had decreased, his divine body hadn’t shattered at all.

The divine power Origin Source could be instantly restored.

Shi Jiu took out a piece of uncut jade from his mustard seed, crushed it, and instantly his missing flesh grew back, and his divine power began to skyrocket as it recovered.

“Die!” There was a murderous intent in Shi Jiu’s eyes as he directly went for the kill, his divine power skyrocketing to 150,000-fold, defeating the two opponents with a punch each in an instant.

Moreover, a thunderbolt condensed in his palm again. This thunderbolt was not a cage but a sharp blade that pierced through the chests of the two opponents.

At this moment, Muchen directly intervened and said, “Leave these two alive!”

It was just a trial; one couldn’t kill. This was a prearranged rule.

Upon hearing Muchen’s words, not only did Shi Jiu not stop, but he also swung his blade, intending to deal with the two directly.

Just now, he had almost died at the hands of these two, and if he hadn’t had a trick up his sleeve, they probably would have crippled him even if they hadn’t tried to kill him.

Seeing that Shi Jiu was still about to attack, Muchen immediately flashed to his side and forcefully separated the three with a surge of powerful divine power.

The two Emperors were thrown off like dead dogs, falling to the ground, completely unable to move.
