Chapter 1362: Come At Me Together

Come At Me Together

Hearing this, Jian Changsheng was just about to say something, but Sun Bumian on the side spoke first:

"Actually, it's alright. It's nothing more than the food not being very good, but after eating so many poisonous insects, I actually have some poison resistance now. After staying a while longer, I should be able to get used to it... However, you, if we leave, what about your safety?"

"My safety?" Chen Ling's eyebrow rose. "I am the king of the Ghost Mockery Abyss. I have five Rank 8 Poison Chiefs under me... In this world, who else could possibly threaten my safety?"

"Divine Path Demigods, humanity's Nine Monarchs, World-Ending Calamities... Although your Ghost Mockery Abyss has great power, without a Rank 9 holding the fort, there are too many existences that can kill you."

"Why would they want to kill me? And if they really came, what difference would it make whether you guys are here or not?"

"With me... with us here, we can always help you share some of the burden."

Sun Bumian's tone was extremely serious.

Putting aside his personal relationship with Chen Ling, just not long ago, Sun Bumian's Master had emphatically requested him to protect Chen Ling well. After all, Chen Ling was the key factor determining the ending of this world... Now that the Red Star's return was imminent, the world was bound to undergo massive changes. If Chen Ling met with an accident at this time, then this world would truly be finished.

Looking at Sun Bumian, Chen Ling also had some doubts in his heart. He originally thought that when he issued the eviction order, the hardest to persuade should be the single-minded Little Jian. He didn't expect that the usually most reasonable Sun Bumian would also be so stubborn this time...

"Diamonds, this is no longer a problem of eating some poisonous insects." Chen Ling spoke solemnly,

"You should have realized that the current me is a Great Inauspiciousness among Great Inauspiciousnesses. No matter where I am, I will bring misfortune to the living beings there... Even you, who is an Auspiciousness, cannot suppress the Aura on my body. You will even be injured by the backlash of my Aura, have poor mental state, and experience endless bad luck.

Not to mention Spades, because of the existence of the ancient killing intent, he inherently has a Bad Luck Constitution. Under the enhancement of both, what he has to face is no longer as simple as 'bad luck'... but 'Death Calamities' that could happen anytime, anywhere!

Even if he can rely on his own strength to avoid one calamity, ten calamities, or even a hundred calamities, he will always have moments of exhaustion and distraction. If one day he is severely injured or even on the verge of death because of my existence, then what should we do??"

Sun Bumian opened his mouth and fell into silence.

From the perspective of his Master's entrustment, he indeed should firmly guard Chen Ling's side; but from the perspective of the Six of Diamonds, whether it was Chen Ling, Jian Changsheng, or Jiang Xiaohua, they were all brothers of the 6-series. If another person was put in danger in order to protect Hearts, that would undoubtedly be unfair.

"Hearts..." Jian Changsheng still wanted to persuade him some more, but Chen Ling spoke again.

"Spades, I am not discussing this with you." Chen Ling's tone was obviously firmer. "Go back... I am a World-Ending Calamity, I was born to belong here, and your Stage should be in the Human Domains...

What's more, separation does not mean a clean break. When the battle situation in the Hanging Jade Domain stabilizes and you gain a firm foothold there, you can still occasionally return to the Ghost Mockery Abyss to find me, and bring some food from the Human Domains... let me experience the life of a 'human' once again."

Hearing the last sentence, Jian Changsheng was finally somewhat moved.

After struggling for a long time, he still nodded:

"Alright... then wait a few days for me. After I gather all the delicacies of the Hanging Jade Domain, I will immediately come back to find you!"

Hearing this answer, a smile finally curled up at the corner of Chen Ling's mouth. Just as he was about to say something, Jian Changsheng suddenly changed the subject:

"But before I leave, there's one more thing."

"What is it?"

Jian Changsheng took a deep breath and slowly stood up from his chair...

His palm grasped at the void behind him, as if gripping a non-existent sword hilt, and abruptly drew it out!

Boom——!!!

In the next second, monstrous ancient killing intent raged and poured out, shooting into the sky like a pillar of black fire!!

Under the Oppressive Aura of this terrifying killing intent, the dining plates and chopsticks on the table were all scared into screaming and jumping wildly. Amidst a burst of heart-wrenching wails, they scrambled to jump off the table, and then scrambled and crawled out of the dining room door.

The killing intent condensed into substance, transforming into an ancient general's armor that attached itself to Jian Changsheng's body. The black ribbons fluttered without wind. Holding a long sword in his hand, he slowly spoke:

"They have all seen the results of my half a year of bitter cultivation... Only you, Hearts, you haven't witnessed my growth yet."

"Fight me again, just like back at the Scarlet Heaven Cult..."

"This time, I will not lose again."

That miserable defeat back at the Scarlet Heaven Cult Branch was the driving force that pushed Jian Changsheng to survive the trials in the Gray World. He fought so desperately just so that one day he could win back his pride from Chen Ling's hands. From the standoff in the pavilion of the South Sea Domain to being the God of Slaughter on the battlefield of the Hanging Jade Domain, his growth had already made the world look at him with new eyes. However, the one person who should acknowledge him the most, hadn't seen his strength up to now.

When he first arrived at the Ghost Mockery Abyss, Jian Changsheng saw that Chen Ling was living too miserably, plus after eating poisonous insects for several days, his condition wasn't good, so he never challenged Chen Ling to a duel. But since he was leaving soon, before departing, he had to fulfill this wish!

Supported by the roaring ancient killing intent, the battle intent in Jian Changsheng's eyes had already risen to the extreme. The Torchlights in the Underground Palace flickered violently. His straight figure was like a mountain, and his imposing Aura pressed horizontally towards Chen Ling!

Seeing this, Chen Ling was briefly taken aback...

He smiled slightly.

No wonder Jian Changsheng could become famous in one battle in the Hanging Jade Domain. Although his rank was currently only Peak Sixth-Tier, after controlling the ancient killing intent in his body, his Combat Power was already comparable to the Seventh-Tier. If he activated the stacked state of [Avici Purgatory], he could even shake a Peak Seventh-Tier... His progress was too fast.

Although this wasn't a battlefield, and there was no slaughter to give him stacked states, in Jian Changsheng's view, with his current strength, even without stacking, he could steadily defeat him...

But...

Spades oh Spades, is just this level enough to make you complacent?

Chen Ling knew that Jian Changsheng was an unpolished jade covered in dust. The harder he was polished, the more dazzling his light would become...

In the future, after he returned to the Hanging Jade Domain, what he would lack the least was the flattery and praise of others. If this went on, he would inevitably become somewhat slack, and his strength would stagnate... In that case, then he would leave some more shadows on him and wind his clockwork to the extreme.

Chen Ling sat there quietly. In the next second, the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe visibly began to be dyed pitch-black. An Aura of a World-Ending Calamity swept across the entire Underground Palace in an instant, directly suppressing Jian Changsheng's wildly surging killing intent!

Boom——!!!!

Pitch-black hair fluttered silently. Chen Ling, like the King of the Abyss, lightly glanced at the three incredibly horrified people at the table...

"You three, come at me together."
