Chapter 2126

The Qiankun Pearl is a fifth-grade divine artifact of Shang Xihong.

Earlier, she took it out to let He Pingsheng and Shang Yong compete inside it, but He Pingsheng shattered the pearl with a single strike.

He Pingsheng took the pearl, originally intending to strengthen it with a Treasure Gathering Basin.

It hasn't been strengthened yet, but it's sufficient for capturing people.

Although it has a crack.

With a soft "whoosh," the next moment, Taoyao Yao was sucked into the pearl by He Pingsheng.

This sudden change left the surrounding people stunned.

Immediately after, a burst of uproarious laughter rang out.

To others, this was like taking off one's pants just to fart—pointless and excessive.

If you just kill He Pingsheng later, where could the person inside this pearl possibly escape to?

"It seems you're unwilling to swear an oath?" Gongsun Shi Liu looked at He Pingsheng, smiling on his face, but his tone was not pleasant.

He Pingsheng said: "Asking me to swear an oath is absolutely impossible!"

"I still want to advise the Gongsun family: once you do certain things, there's no turning back!"

"It's possible—family destroyed, people dead!"

"The clan scattered!"

"You dare threaten me?" Gongsun Shi Liu raised his eyebrows.

He Pingsheng's words struck right at his pain point—he feared exactly this.

He Pingsheng said: "I have never threatened anyone!"

"It's you who are threatening me!"

"Good, good, good... brat... you're seeking death yourself!" Gongsun Shi Liu's face instantly filled with ferocity; without another word, he unleashed a divine sense attack with the force of "Swift as Thunder, Not Covering Ears," blasting straight at He Pingsheng.

But the intensity was not high—only equivalent to the God Venerable Realm.

After all, in Gongsun Shi Liu's view, He Pingsheng was merely a second-layer God Monarch cultivator; a divine sense of God Venerable strength was enough to slay this wretch.

If excessive divine sense were used, it would only drain oneself.

He Pingsheng naturally also sensed the opponent's divine sense strength; he smiled faintly.

Buzz buzz buzz...

In his sea of consciousness, the Purple Mansion Nine Shields opened.

Gongsun Shi Liu's divine sense strike hit his shield squarely, causing no ripples whatsoever.

"Huh?" Gongsun Shi Liu frowned and said: "What a fine fellow... divine sense actually this strong?"

He was somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected He Pingsheng's divine sense strength to already rival that of a God Monarch.

"Again..."

Boom...

This time, Gongsun Shi Liu used his full strength.

A visible white flying knife of divine sense suddenly shot out from his sea of consciousness, straight toward He Pingsheng to slash him.

Its speed was extremely fast.

He Pingsheng did not use the divine ability of Void Swift Movement to dodge.

Crack...

The next moment, when that white divine sense flying knife fell within one zhang around He Pingsheng's body, the twelve prayer beads on his left wrist suddenly shattered one.

These were obtained in a trade at the Xianlai Chamber of Commerce.

Each bead can block one divine sense attack from the God King Realm.

"Gongsun Shi Liu, you dare..." Li Yue Ren only then realized belatedly, reached for her sword to slash Gongsun Shi Liu.

He Pingsheng curled his lips: "What a fine fellow—if I pinned my hopes on Li Yue Ren, I'd have died hundreds of times already, damn it."

Clang...

Before Li Yue Ren could attack, she collapsed first, falling directly to the ground.

She discovered that her divine power, for a moment, could not be unleashed at all.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Yue Ren crawled up from the ground, glaring at the Yuan Zhong Tao, and said: "Yuan Zhong Tao, you actually betrayed me?"

"Betrayed?" Yuan Zhong Tao went mad, face flushed red, shouting at Li Yue Ren: "On what grounds?"

"Previously, I was the divine pet of your Tao family, loyal and devoted to your Tao family, but heaven pitied me—your damned Dao Companion died, fell!"

"Now I am free!"

"On what grounds should I still serve your Tao family?"

"Yuan Zhong Tao, Yuan Zhong Tao... you don't even know how much I hate this name?"

"Yuan and Zhong sound alike; originally, that Tao family scoundrel gave me this name just to make me loyal and devoted to the Tao family!"

"From today on, I won't be called Yuan Zhong Tao anymore!"

"I've changed my name!"

"I am called Yuan Shang Li... hahahaha... hahaha..."

Yuan Zhong Tao laughed hysterically, his whole body as if injected with chicken blood, stepping step by step toward Li Yue Ren.

Li Yue Ren trembled all over, frightened to the point her voice changed: "Yuan Zhong Tao, what do you want to do?"

Yuan Zhong Tao said: "What do I want to do? Naturally, you... hahaha..."

"Li Yue Ren, Li Yue Ren, how did your dead husband torment me back then?"

"I remember it all crystal clear!"

"Although I've shed the slave mark and become a free man now, every time I dream back to the past, I can still feel the humiliation from those years."

"This humiliation has prevented me from breaking through my own Dao heart, trapping my realm at the first layer of the God King Realm!"

"Today, I will break through my Dao heart!"

"The old master could press down on you, so why can't I, Old Ape?"

"Li Yueren, today I'm going to properly ravage you!"

"I hope that after getting the old master's woman, my Dao heart can break through, and I can become a true God King!"

A mad glint flashed in Yuan Zhongtao's eyes as he slowly walked toward Li Yueren.

"No... don't..." A drug's potency flared inside Li Yueren's body; she simply couldn't struggle.

She looked helplessly at He Pingsheng: "He Pingsheng... save me... quickly save me..."

He Pingsheng:................

You said before you'd protect me!

And now? It's turned into me protecting you instead?

He Pingsheng extended a hand, grabbed Li Yueren, and sent her body into that Qiankun Pearl as well.

"Hm?" Yuan Zhongtao abruptly turned his head to look at He Pingsheng and said: "Damn it... He Pingsheng, release her!"

"Otherwise, this seat will immediately exterminate you!"

"Hmph..." He Pingsheng sneered: "You people really are shameless!"

"Two great God Kings, actually threatening a mere little God Lord like me?"

"And this Gongsun family member is even more shameless, daring to sneak attack me — can you believe it?"

Gongsun Shi Liu's face instantly burned hot.

That's right; from a certain angle, his two consecutive Divine Sense attacks on He Pingsheng just now were sneak attacks.

A God King Realm expert, sneak attacking a God Lord Realm.

This really can't be whitewashed.

If it were just himself present, it wouldn't matter, but the key is...

He looked around here.

Besides the sixteen Gongsun family God Venerable Realm experts he'd brought, there were also quite a few Yuan family people.

If this fucking gets out, my Gongsun Shi Liu's reputation will be completely ruined.

And who knows if it's his own imagination, but Gongsun Shi Liu always felt these disciples' gazes toward him weren't right.

Huu...

He let out a deep breath, glanced at He Pingsheng twice more, and said: "He Pingsheng... now, this seat gives you two paths!"

"First, hand over your God Slave Mark and become this seat's servant!"

"Second, the two of us have a fair duel!"

"Pfft..." He Pingsheng directly burst out laughing: "Fair duel?"

"Gongsun Shi Liu, you really say these shameless words without any pressure at all!"

"Shameless to this extent?"

"God King Realm, dueling with my God Lord Realm, and that's fair?"
