The agreement
He Wushang's words caused an uproar in the square.
There was no doubt that He Wushang's words were very bold. Although a Heavenly Immortal could use his own Celestial Core Power to forcefully raise an Earthly Immortal's cultivation level, the price was very high. Ordinary Heavenly Immortals would not do so.
However, He Wushang had actually offered such a generous condition in order to find out who had killed He Yu. It was obvious how important He Yu was to him.
In the square, the ninety-nine Chaos War Gods looked at each other with hesitation.
In fact, many of them knew who had killed He Yu. After all, Zhuowen had used He Yu's Natal Immortal Artifact, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, when he fought with Yuan Hongwen.
He Yu was dead and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword was in Zhuowen's hands. There was no doubt that the murderer was Zhuowen.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the ninety-nine Chaos War Gods. His target was the futon where He Wushang and Wei Wuyin were.
"Senior He, the one who killed He Yu is Zhuo Wen. The Origin of the God Slaying Sword and the King Blade Saint Talisman were all taken away by him. Senior He, you only need to search his Spiritual Ring and you will know the answer."
The moment the person rushed out, his voice was loud and clear.
"Wei Rui!" Yuan Hongwen frowned slightly and looked at Wei Rui who rushed out with some displeasure.
"Despicable!"
Ji Chenyan's beautiful eyes narrowed as she said in a low voice with contempt.
Wei Rui was extremely smart. The moment he mentioned the murderer, he rushed towards He Wushang and Wei Wuyin to prevent Zhuowen from taking revenge on him.
Once he rushed to the side of Wei Wuyin and He Wushang, the two Heavenly Immortal elders, Zhuowen would not be able to deal with him even if he had hundreds of times the courage.
Zhuowen's eyes were filled with coldness as he stared coldly at Wei Rui who was rushing towards He Wushang and Wei Wuyin. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
Zhuowen had always adhered to the principle of peace as long as others did not provoke him. If someone took the initiative to provoke him, Zhuowen would not let them off.
Wei Rui's despicable attitude caused Zhuowen's heart to be filled with killing intent.
Zhuowen stood up abruptly and took a step forward with his right foot. Invisible ripples spread out as he disappeared from where he stood and reappeared above Wei Rui.
At this moment, Wei Rui was still several thousand meters away from He Wushang and Wei Wuyin. To him, this distance didn't even require half a breath's time.
Unfortunately, Zhuowen was like a mountain, suddenly blocking in front of him.
"You …"
Wei Rui's pupils constricted as he abruptly stopped in his tracks. His gaze was fixated on Zhuowen as he revealed an expression of disbelief.
"Die!"
Zhuo Wen clenched his right fist, and the power of the Holy Physique of the Small Perfection surged out. At the same time, nine golden runes lingered around his right fist and arm. They kept rotating, making the power of his right fist even more terrifying.
Wei Rui's eyes were filled with fear when he felt the fierceness of the punch. He knew very well how terrifying Zhuo Wen was. Thus, he let out a shrill cry, and the eagle on his shoulder immediately grew in size.
The eagle expanded to a height of several dozen meters, then landed at Wei Rui's feet. It lifted him up, spread its wings, and fled as fast as lightning.
"Senior He, Great Ancestor, save me!"
The moment he retreated, Wei Rui immediately asked He Wushang and Wei Wuyin for help. He didn't even dare to fight with Zhuowen.
Wei Rui's fearful performance puzzled many warriors in the square. Most of them had been eliminated in advance and hadn't been able to enter the Path of Life and Death, so they hadn't seen the earth-shattering battle between Zhuowen and Yuan Hongwen.
If they had seen that battle, they would've been even more miserable than Wei Rui.
"Little bastard, how dare you!"
Wei Wuyin shouted angrily. He took a step forward and went straight for Zhuowen. He was a little anxious. After all, Wei Rui was the most outstanding descendant of their Beast Envoy Clan. He couldn't die like this.
The one who attacked with Wei Wuyin was He Wushang. At this moment, He Wushang's face was extremely gloomy, and the murderous intent in his eyes spread throughout his body like a vast ocean.
Unfortunately, as soon as Wei Wuyin and He Wushang attacked, two figures suddenly tore through the air and descended from the sky, blocking Wei Wuyin and He Wushang.
Wei Wuyin's expression changed slightly. He suddenly blasted out with his right hand, and then a surge of Demon Qi surged. He grunted and retreated continuously. Only then did he see clearly that it was a Demon Blade with monstrous Demon Qi that blocked his path.
He Wushang was in a similar state as Wei Wuyin. He also retreated dozens of steps. What blocked He Wushang was a Buddhist Commandment Blade that radiated Buddhist light.
"This is a battle between the younger generation. How dare the two elders interfere?"
An indifferent voice rang out the moment He Wushang and Wei Wuyin were blocked. Afterward, Shi Ji, who was sitting on a cushion nearby, stared coldly at He Wushang and Wei Wuyin.
He Wushang and Wei Wuyin shivered when they saw the cold light in Shi Ji's eyes. A trace of fear rose in their hearts.
Shi Ji was a True Immortal expert and the renowned Fighting Buddha Demon Saint of the ancient times. An expert like that wasn't someone they could afford to offend.
However, the two of them were extremely unwilling. After all, He Yu had been killed by Zhuowen, and Wei Rui was about to be hunted down by Zhuowen. How could the two of them let this matter go?
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a miserable cry rang out. Zhuowen had caught up to Wei Rui. Afterward, Zhuowen threw out a punch and directly blasted the eagle to pieces. Afterward, Wei Rui was lifted up by Zhuowen.
"Zhuowen, what are you doing?
Hurry up and release Wei Rui, or you know the consequences, "Wei Wuyin's eyes narrowed as he could not help but shout out.
Zhuowen turned around and glanced at Wei Wuyin. He said indifferently, "I, Zhuowen, have always been an upright person. This person used underhanded methods to plot against me. If I let him go because of this, would I let him plot against me again?"
With that, Zhuowen clenched his right hand and a violent force erupted. Wei Rui felt excruciating pain all over his body. Afterward, he exploded into a bloody mist while his soul was caught by Zhuowen.
"You …"
Wei Wuyin's eyes widened in rage. He glared at Zhuowen and roared. He formed a seal with his right hand and a terrifying beast suddenly leapt out from behind him.
As soon as the beast appeared, it roared at the sky and directly blocked the Demonic Blade in front of it. Then, it rushed towards Zhuowen.
Shi Ji's eyes narrowed slightly. He snorted coldly and formed a seal with his right hand. Suddenly, the Demonic Blade expanded to several hundred feet in length and slashed across the air. The Demonic Blade let out a miserable cry and was directly chopped into pieces.
Wei Wuyin spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was extremely pale and his eyes were filled with fear.
"If you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!"
Shi Ji's eyes were cold. The huge Demonic Blade released a terrifying demonic Qi and directly slashed towards Wei Wuyin.
Wei Wuyin's eyes were filled with madness. Just as he was about to use the Beast Envoy Saint Talisman, Dou Hua appeared in front of him.
Dou Hua's right hand formed a claw and suddenly grasped. Surging Celestial Origin Power surged out and turned into a huge claw that grabbed the Demonic Blade.
Dou Hua said in a low voice, "Brother Shi, enough is enough!"
Wei Wuyin sighed softly and hurriedly said to Dou Hua, "Divine Master, you have to uphold justice for me. Zhuowen is really too arrogant. He actually dared to kill the successor of my Beast Envoy Saint Talisman Clan in front of everyone. He's really audacious."
Dou Hua's face was gloomy. He said, "You shut up as well. Wei Rui was indeed in the wrong. If he hadn't taken the lead, this wouldn't have happened. This matter ends here!"
As he spoke, Dou Hua waved his sleeve and the Demonic Blade left his hand and was taken back by Shi Ji. On the other hand, Shi Ji looked indifferently at He Wushang and said, "You … still want to attack?"
He Wushang silently looked at the Buddhist Commandment Blade before him and clenched his fists. In the end, he returned to his futon, but the killing intent in his eyes was extremely dense.
Wei Wuyin silently returned to his futon as well. Wei Rui had been killed and Shi Ji had stood up for him, so he knew that it was utterly impossible for him to look for trouble with Zhuowen now.
A trace of a mocking smile appeared on the corners of Zhuowen's mouth as he silently put Wei Rui's Soul Core away. Wei Rui's cultivation wasn't high, and he was only at the intermediate-stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm. So, even if his Soul Core was made into a Soul Core Bomb, it wouldn't be of much help to Zhuowen.
However, Wei Rui's Soul Core contained a trace of the Beast Envoy Saint Talisman's Quintessence, and it was extremely beneficial to him. So, he naturally wouldn't let Wei Rui's Soul Core go.
Zhuowen cupped his fists towards Shi Ji with gratitude in his eyes. Shi Ji had helped him twice, and according to the agreement, Shi Ji would only help him three times. In other words, Shi Ji would only help him one last time.
Then, Zhuowen looked towards Dou Hua and said with a blazing gaze, "Divine Lord, according to the agreement, I've already obtained first place in the God Battle. So, is it time for you to fulfill your promise to me?"
Dou Hua took a deep look at Zhuowen and nodded, "Of course I'll fulfill my promise to you."
At this point, Dou Hua looked towards Elder Gu, who wasn't far from the Central Divine Palace, and said with a nod, "Elder Gu, I'll leave the rest to you."
Elder Gu took a step forward and arrived in front of Zhuowen, "Take out your wife!"
Zhuowen looked excited. With a flick of his finger, he took out a crystal coffin from his Spirit Ring. His entire body was trembling slightly.
The moment the crystal coffin appeared, many cultivators in the square revealed complicated expressions. They didn't expect that Zhuowen would risk his life to participate in the God Battle and obtain first place, all for the sake of the woman in the crystal coffin.
Ji Chenyan's beautiful eyes were even more complicated. She muttered in a low voice, "No wonder he worked so hard to obtain first place in the God Battle. It was all for the woman in front of him!"
"For this woman to have such a man who is willing to sacrifice himself for her, she should have no regrets in this life …."
At this point, Ji Chenyan's gaze towards Zhuowen changed, and the surrounding cultivators were also moved.
