The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 289 - The rise of King Tang
Jin Zhu unexpectedly wanted to join the Defense Division, which was tasked with guarding the same city as Wu Shi, a mid-ranked city.
When all the other cultivators had already left, Ji Xie had yet to give Qing Shan the chance to choose one of the divisions. There were only the two of them left in the palace as silence enveloped the room.
A slight frown formed on his brows as he took the initiative to speak.“.Fellow Ji Xie, I want to join the War Division. Hope you can give me a hint!”
“Hehe, don't worry. Let's be patient and wait a little while longer!”
“Who are we waiting for?” Qing Shan raised his eyebrows and his eyes shone with vigilance.
'Hemph... Human nature is unpredictable. Therefore, I must always be vigilant. Since I have a secret attack, I am not afraid of any tricks he will do to me Qing Shan said inwardly.
The two closed their eyes and waited patiently.
At this moment, Qing Shan's mind became extremely sensitive. If this Ji Xie were to show his unexpected behavior and have malicious intentions, Qing Shan would immediately make him regret it.
After a few hours later, Qing Shan's eyes opened wide while Ji Xie slowly opened his eyes.
“Uhuk. Uhuk..Fellow Zhang, thank you for your patience in waiting. He has come.”
"Who?!"
Suddenly, an intense feeling of danger could be felt all over Qing Shan's body.
A black dragon-robed middle-aged man appeared in front of Ji Xie, having a short mustache and a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle. His strength and aura radiated from his body even though he did not look angry.
What surprised Qing Shan was that his spirit senses were unaware of this person's appearance. The aura he exuded this man was so impressive. Every time one met his gaze, they would feel that his eyes were emitting a golden light.
Aushhh!
Suddenly, that golden flash of light entered Qing Shan's body, interfering with the condition of his soul. He then felt pain from his mind. Unknowingly, Qing Shan had intended to retreat to avoid that light. However, he gritted his teeth and stubbornly remained in his position.
'I can't back down! If I did, it would mean that I gave myself to him! Then the light that enters my mind will grow stronger, killing me from within!' Qing Shan said inwardly again.
"DESTROY!"
WHOA!!! Qing Shan used his sword soul power to destroy the golden light that entered his body and mind.
"Huff, Huff!" His heart rate and breathing are disturbed. Qing Shan's eyes turned dark as he looked at Ji Xie and the black-robed man with a cold gaze.
"Are you King of Tang?!"
"Really! I'm inspecting the northern region not far from here. It was then that I heard that there was a fellow realm cultivator of the Soul Realm who wanted to join the Tangku army. So I came here to see the guy. Those Gold Realm cultivators were just ants in my eyes. I thought you were the one I could have high hopes for in this southern region of Tang Country. Unexpectedly, it was even very disappointing because you were just a Harmonious Realm cultivator pretending to be a Soul Realm cultivator and plundering that Yan Country! I can see through you! Hmm, Ji Xie! Your mistake will be noted because you have failed to distinguish the Harmonious Realm cultivators from the Soul Realm cultivators!"
The superiority of a king could be felt only from his words. Also, the true strength of the Soul Realm stage realm finally caused the entire ice palace to tremble violently. Absolute fear reflected from Ji Xies face.
He was shocked to hear their king's statement as he had originally requested his arrival to find out about Qing Shan's background by claiming that Qing Shan was a Soul Realm cultivator who wanted to join Tang's forces them. He needed their king to bind Qing Shan because he felt that Qing Shan's arrival intent was impure.
However, Ji Xie never thought that this terrifying Qing Shan was just a junior of the Harmonious Realm and wondered inwardly whether the man named Zhang En who plundered the Land of Yanandan was truly capable of possessing the senses of spirit Soul Realm?! He felt this was impossible. But their king would not be wrong about himQing Shan for possessing the Golden Eye Technique.
His mind became muddled and things about Qing Shan had exceeded his expectations.
After the king glanced at Qing Shan a few times, he broke the silence by saying coldly, “Although you are only at the realm of the Harmonious Realm, your strength is truly unusual. Your Body Refining Technique has reached the golden stage. It is clear that you are the one who robbed our neighbor, the State of Yan. Do you really want to join the Tangku army to use the Ancient Teleportation Formation?!”
"Yes!" Qing Shan replied with a firm tone. To him, a peak stage Soul Realm cultivator was indeed powerful but he possessed a secret technique capable of inflicting heavy damage on this king.
“I am a person who always keeps my promises. To me, one word is as heavy as nine big stones. I have issued a decree stating that only Gold Realm cultivators can enter the War Division. This promise is not related to Daoku's heart but cannot be ignored. I want to see if you have the ability to make me break my promise! I'll give you a chance to show all your strength to attack me. I want to assess if your technique is enough to change my mind. I don't need a cultivator who only has a strong body. Without anything valuable from you, I will treat you as one of the demon army comrades and eliminate you because there is a thread of demon blood in your veins!”
King Tang's eyes shone and silver light surrounded his body! Moreover, he showed the thin strand of Winged Demon blood that Qing Shan had awakened!
As it turned out, king Tang was not only an ordinary peak stage Soul Realm cultivator, but also had a body refining technique to forge the strength of his bones.
“Show your true abilities! Let me see if you're worthy enough to help my country!”
Qing Shan did not reply.
The battle intent boiled in his heart. He became furious when he thought of this king's Golden Eye Technique entering his body. If he was unable to withstand that golden light or take a step back, he would have been killed by that golden light earlier.
'Because he wants to. Goody! As she pleases!' Said Qing Shan with a cold gaze as usual.
WHOA!!!
Qing Shan then threw an ice element punch at him. A single blow from the technique froze heaven and earth.
However, before the ice had enough time to form, the king's eyes emitted disappointment and he crushed the ice with just one finger.
BOOM!!!
Fragments of ice from Qing Shan's attack shattered scattered from the sky.
“If this is all you can do, I can't let you go from here!”
“Ice Crusher!” Qing Shan threw another punch, freezing the heavens and earth again.
"This technique has no effect on me ..!"
"really?! How about this?!"
At that moment, the Star between Qing Shan's brows emitted a terrifying light, summoning and moving the power of lightning.
The Tang king's expression underwent a slight change for the first time.
"This is the Star of the Demon God?!"
