Chapter 375

Entered the palace gate.

A terrifying killing intent swept over him.

This killing intent had no substance, yet it made Gu Han's hair stand on end.

He instantly retreated, discovering a golden spear where he had stood.

In the distance, a figure in gold robes swiftly approached.

Ni Gu Shu wielded a golden halberd and went to meet the charging enemy.

Gu Han stared and saw that the gold‑robed figure closely resembled the war god of later ages.

If one had to point out the biggest difference, it would be that this gold‑robed figure had only two arms.

Seeing this, a doubt arose again in Gu Han's mind.

If the king of Sword‑point City truly is the war god, then who is Ni Gu Shu?

Moreover, the Sword‑point King's weapon is a golden spear.

It also differs from the war god who fought Xiao Wan Di and others.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Terrifying gusts kept sweeping; their battle soon nearly destroyed the entire palace.

Feeling the terrifying commotion of their fight, even Gu Han, who could already suppress a Martial Emperor, sensed danger everywhere.

If he joined the fight, he might easily perish in the clash.

"Damn it, in the main world I could go wherever I wanted, but coming to this secret realm Chong Yuan, I feel like I could drop dead at any moment."

Gu Han couldn't help cursing inwardly, "Is this even reasonable?"

According to the predecessor's memories and what he had learned.

Shouldn't a secret realm like Chong Yuan be a land of opportunities everywhere?

How did it come to this?

Meanwhile, many Sword‑point City guards outside the palace rushed over after noticing the abnormality.

But when they saw the palace swaying on the verge of collapse, they all turned pale.

"Protect the Majesty!"

After the lead guard shouted, all the guards surged toward the palace entrance like a tide.

Gu Han thought to himself,

'It seems these Sword‑point City guards all know what a sorry state their Majesty is in now.'

Gu Han knew this battle would be the most crucial after he entered the war god's river of time.

Little Wolf had exhausted his energy condensing the war god's river of time; he was now resting and could not muster effective strength in the short term.

Moreover, the Heavenly Universe Spirit Fruit itself is not suited for combat and cannot handle the current situation.

Gu Han immediately summoned the Kun Peng to assist Ni Gu Shu in facing the Sword‑point King.

He himself swept with the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear.

Sweeping away thousands of troops!

The mighty spear intent condensed into a golden dragon phantom that swept across.

In the blink of an eye it devoured the hundreds of Sword‑point City warriors who had rushed forward.

Meanwhile, Ni Gu Shu, wielding a golden halberd, was fiercely suppressed by the Sword‑point King.

Ni Gu Shu, who had been unstoppable in the arena, now faced the Sword‑point King like a nemesis, almost unable to fight back!

Even with the Kun Peng's help, after a brief clash he was still struck in the chest by the Sword‑point King's spear.

Crack!

A bone‑shattering sound that made the scalp tingle rang out; Ni Gu Shu spat blood and was flung uncontrollably backward.

With a loud bang, Ni Gu Shu's body slammed heavily onto the ground.

The Sword‑point King snorted coldly, his golden spear flying toward Ni Gu Shu.

"We were originally one; why oppose me?"

No sooner had his words fallen than the sound of surging waves came from nearby.

The Sword‑point King's heart tightened instantly.

Although Sword‑point City constantly moves, it has always avoided the domain of the ocean god.

How could the sound of waves appear?

The Sword‑point King immediately turned and thrust his spear toward the direction of the wave sound.

The next instant, an endless tsunami crashed, shattering his attack and slamming into his chest.

The terrifying force drove him to the ground, continually washing over his body.

"Ugh, ah!"

The Sword‑point King roared, forcing himself to stand with his golden spear, his eyes fierce as he gazed at the Kun Peng unleashing the tsunami heaven's roar in the distance.

"Wait till I devour that Fellow, then I'll deal with you!"

Having said that, he abandoned the Kun Peng and sprinted with extreme speed toward Ni Gu Shu's location.

Ni Gu Shu lay on the ground, his face deathly pale, even struggling seemed a luxury, as if he could not resist the Sword‑point King's attack.

A look of victorious joy appeared on the Sword‑point King's face.

The Kun Peng controlled the tsunami heaven's roar, continually assaulting the Sword‑point King to impede his steps.

Seeing the Sword‑point King about to reach Ni Gu Shu, the Kun Peng even exhaled the Northern Ice Breath.

Crack!

Crack!

The space was all frozen into layers of frost by the Northern Dark cold Qi, causing the Sword Edge King's advancing footsteps to involuntarily stall.

The Sword Edge King, whose mind had long been clouded by the desires of slaughter and fury, flared with rage that shot up to the heavens when forcibly obstructed.

"Wait, I'll eventually tear you apart and make you my dinner today!"

The Sword Edge King's eyes were bloodshot red as he looked at Ni Gu Si, who lay on the ground constantly struggling.

"We are one; being invincible in the world wouldn't that be great? Why betray me, only to end up like this?"

Pah!

Ni Gu Si let out a pah, spat a mouthful of clotted blood, and said coldly,

"Do you still remember the vow you made when you first became the Sword Edge King?"

Upon hearing this, the Sword Edge King's bloodshot eyes seemed to fade a bit, restoring a moment of clarity.

The requirements to become the Sword Edge King are extremely harsh.

Besides inheriting through bloodline, one must personally slay a sovereign!

For every Sword Edge King, such patricidal means are a required course.

The previous Sword Edge King, to avoid the tragedy of father-son mutual slaughter, announced the abolition of this rule.

At the same time, he cast his son into the Nether Sea, letting him drift with the waves, to embrace the God of Death.

But no one expected that the Sword Edge Son, who was supposed to die in the Nether Sea, would claw his way back alive from it.

Furthermore, in Sword Edge City, some have always believed that the Sword Edge King's actions are merely out of fear!

Afraid that one day he too would follow his ancestors' path and die at his son's hands.

Such a coward is unworthy to continue as the Sword Edge King!

Therefore, these people secretly raised the Sword Edge Son to adulthood and taught him martial arts.

When the Sword Edge Son appeared again before the previous Sword Edge King, he had already grown into adulthood.

It was also time for him to challenge the previous Sword Edge King.

But the Sword Edge Son had just come of age, and his martial arts were still no match for the Sword Edge King.

What despair the Sword Edge King felt was that, after killing the Sword Edge Son, the latter miraculously returned to life!

Repeatedly killing the Sword Edge Son not only failed to make him truly dead.

but instead drained the Sword Edge King's strength.

Finally, the Sword Edge Son plunged the Golden Spear into the previous Sword Edge King's chest.

He took the former's place, becoming the current Sword Edge King.

And the previous Sword Edge King, before death, clung tightly to the Golden Spear, using his last strength to leave his final words,

"One day, you too will make the same decision as I."

As the father's last words spoken before death rang out, the Sword Edge King's vision finally showed a hint of bewilderment.
