CHAPTER 1055: CHAPTER 1055: JIANG LIU: LONG EYEBROW, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MY POWER

The Long Eyebrow Immortal, holding a horsetail whisk, sent countless threads pressing toward Emperor Ziwei.

Meanwhile, the Long Eyebrow Immortal’s attention was on Jiang Liu. Since he was the Ming Sect Master, he would naturally need to complete the tasks assigned to him.

However, the instruction to join forces against Emperor Ziwei didn’t seem likely to succeed at the moment. Why was he so insistent on doing it?

With some doubts in his heart, the Long Eyebrow Immortal asked no more.

No matter what hidden strategies the Sect Hierarch had, he just needed to do his part and carefully make his move and wait to see what would happen.

A moment later, as Emperor Ziwei seemed to be gaining the upper hand, the Long Eyebrow Immortal remained unhurried and patiently awaited an opportunity.

But suddenly, Xuanzang extended his Thunder Halberd towards Emperor Ziwei.

There was no noticeable change, nor did it seem like Xuanzang’s move caused any powerful attack, yet Emperor Ziwei’s expression suddenly changed drastically as he took out the Kongdong Seal?

"Is that? The Kongdong Seal!?" Seeing the Kongdong Seal in Emperor Ziwei’s hands, Long Eyebrow couldn’t help but exclaim.

With Long Eyebrow’s insight, he naturally recognized the extraordinary Kongdong Seal of the Human Clan’s destiny.

But he hadn’t expected the Kongdong Seal to fall into Emperor Ziwei’s hands.

"Mage, with the Kongdong Seal in Emperor Ziwei’s hands, we..." Seeing the Kongdong Seal wrapped in almost tangible destiny, Long Eyebrow spoke to Jiang Liu with a retreating intention on his face.

Apparently, taking action against the Kongdong Seal involved too great a cause and effect.

Even though Master Xuanzang was now at the center of the Immeasurable Kalpa and killing almost bore no cause and effect, this Kongdong Seal and ordinary cause were incomparable.

"I understand!" Listening to Long Eyebrow’s words, Jiang Liu still maintained a calm demeanor, nodded, and said.

Seeing the lack of surprise on Jiang Liu’s face, as if he had anticipated this scene, Long Eyebrow’s heart calmed slightly.

Did the Sect Hierarch already know that Emperor Ziwei had the Kongdong Seal in his hands? If so, why did he insist on having him join in the action?

Could it be that he had some sort of follow-up move to deal with this Kongdong Seal?

"Xuanzang..."

Emperor Ziwei, holding the Kongdong Seal, fixed his gaze on Jiang Liu and said, "I admit, your supernatural powers are indeed formidable. To comprehend law-type skills with your Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation level is truly a blessing from the heavens."

"But you also understand, with the Kongdong Seal in my hands, acting against me is equivalent to challenging the entire Human Clan. Can you bear such a cause and effect?"

Seeing Emperor Ziwei holding the Kongdong Seal, naturally, Long Eyebrow also paused his action and turned to look at Jiang Liu with a curious gaze.

Sure enough, the Sect Hierarch knew all along that the Kongdong Seal was in Emperor Ziwei’s hands. So what counter-move does he have against the Kongdong Seal?

And what did Emperor Ziwei just say? He mentioned the Sect Hierarch comprehending law-type skills at the Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation level?

How is that possible? Even a Quasi-Saint merely has the qualification to comprehend the laws, not necessarily the ability to do so.

"Indeed, with the Kongdong Seal in hand, even I dare not act against it..." As Emperor Ziwei decisively revealed the Kongdong Seal, Jiang Liu nodded in agreement.

"If that’s the case, why have you taken action today?" Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Emperor Ziwei followed up with a question.

"Why take action? Naturally, to kill you and take the Kongdong Seal from your hands!" Jiang Liu replied.

Emperor Ziwei frowned slightly and asked, "But if you can’t act against me, how can you kill me? How can you seize the Kongdong Seal from me?"

"I can’t, but there are others who can!" Responding to Emperor Ziwei’s words, Jiang Liu slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said.

"Others can? Are you saying..." Jiang Liu’s words were not baseless; upon hearing them, a realization struck Emperor Ziwei’s heart.

At that moment, two more figures appeared in the shadows: Sun Wukong and Tianxi Star.

Sun Wukong’s presence was manageable, but seeing Tianxi Star with him, Emperor Ziwei’s expression turned grim.

"Emperor Ziwei, long time no see!" Tianxi Star’s gaze fell on Emperor Ziwei, with a complex expression in his eyes.

Although now the status and stature between Tianxi Star and Emperor Ziwei were worlds apart, back during the Deification War, the incarnate mortal Emperor Ziwei as Bo Yikao was just the son of the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, and ultimately died at his hands.

Unfortunately, it was because of him that he lost the Kongdong Seal, leading to the subsequent uprising of the Marquis of the West and the start of the Deification War.

If he hadn’t lost the Kongdong Seal back then, he would’ve been the revered Human Emperor, and who would dare to make a move against him?

"Tianxi Star!" Seeing Tianxi Star stepping forward, Emperor Ziwei’s expression also grew increasingly grim.

If it were any other time seeing the Tianxi Star, just a mere Star Monarch, I wouldn’t pay attention.

But now, when I pulled out the Kongtong Seal, the Tianxi Star appeared, and the timing is too coincidental.

Obviously, Xuanzang had prepared this in advance, bringing the last Human Emperor’s Tianxi Star to counter my Kongtong Seal.

"Tianxi Star, what are you doing here?"

Feeling heavy-hearted, meanwhile, Emperor Ziwei spoke out, reprimanding in a low voice: "Your cultivation level is just the Heavenly Immortal Realm; everyone here possesses the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Your abilities here could lead to calamities, leading to your death. Aren’t you going to leave quickly? Don’t wait until you’re dead and vanished, then regret it!"

"Great Emperor, the Kongtong Seal in your hand has been borrowed from the Human Clan, and it’s about time to return it."

At this point, Tianxi Star certainly knows there’s no retreat. Otherwise, if he truly left, once Emperor Ziwei overcame today’s tribulation, he would definitely find ways to eliminate him.

So, it’s a matter of life or death; naturally, Tianxi Star sees this clearly.

"Alas, the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal is not something you can oppose; such a battlefield, your presence here, is courting death." Watching the Tianxi Star standing before him, Emperor Ziwei shook his head slightly and said.

As he spoke, Emperor Ziwei suddenly struck, a stream of Sword Qi appeared, slashing toward Tianxi Star.

The intensity of this Sword Qi wasn’t high, but the speed was extremely fast, so quick that everyone was unable to counter it.

Evidently, the sudden attack by Emperor Ziwei was meant to ambush and eliminate Tianxi Star.

With his Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation level, even if this ambush wasn’t powerful, eliminating a Heavenly Immortal level being was effortless.

"Darn it..." The ambush by a Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak-level expert is, of course, not easily defendable, and no one expected that Emperor Ziwei, one of the esteemed Four Royals, would suddenly launch a surprise attack.

Vajra Mantra!

Jiang Liu reacted quickly, as Emperor Ziwei’s Sword Qi appeared, he immediately intervened and cast a Vajra Mantra on Tianxi Star.

However, compared to the incredibly swift Sword Qi, Jiang Liu’s Vajra Mantra was still slightly slower.

By the time Jiang Liu’s Vajra Mantra landed on Tianxi Star, Emperor Ziwei’s Sword Qi had already struck Tianxi Star.

The sharp Sword Qi, irresistibly, pierced right through the chest of Tianxi Star.

In Jiang Liu’s eyes, he could clearly see that the health bar above Tianxi Star’s head was completely emptied by just this one strike.

"Alas..." Watching this scene, Jiang Liu sighed softly in his heart.

Although his Vajra Mantra was a bit too slow, even if it exempted 80% of the damage, with Emperor Ziwei’s Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak-level cultivation, the sword Qi attack could still likely instantaneously kill the Tianxi Star, right?

"Succeeded!" Seeing his sudden ambush succeed while speaking, Emperor Ziwei secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Without Tianxi Star, his Kongtong Seal now had a use.

Thus, despite Xuanzang, Sun Wukong, and Long Eyebrow surrounding him, Emperor Ziwei showed no fear whatsoever.

"Hmph, as one of the Four Royals, you resort to ambush tactics against a Heavenly Immortal-level person!" With a cold snort, Long Eyebrow spoke, mocking Emperor Ziwei.

"Hmph, all’s fair in war..." Hearing Long Eyebrow’s words, Emperor Ziwei also snorted coldly and replied.

Holding the Kongtong Seal in one hand and a longsword in the other, the peak-level cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal emanated from Emperor Ziwei, with powerful strength and an aura as heavy as a mountain.

"Holy Monk, now that Tianxi Star has fallen, should we..." Although feeling displeased, seeing how things have developed to this point was disappointing, Long Eyebrow turned his gaze to Jiang Liu.

It’s obvious that his heart sparked a retreating intention.

"Long Eyebrow, it’s not yet time to give up!" Glancing at Long Eyebrow, Jiang Liu shook his head slightly and spoke.

Long Eyebrow truly was completely unaware of his own strength.

"Just because he’s dead? That’s not a big deal!" Nearby, Sun Wukong, understanding Jiang Liu’s abilities well, showed a demeanor of indifference, shaking his head as he spoke.

"Huh? Tianxi Star is dead, and that doesn’t count as a big deal?" Sun Wukong’s words left Long Eyebrow puzzled, not comprehending.

Nearby, Emperor Ziwei, who had initially breathed a sigh of relief, heard these words and felt a slight tension in his heart, instinctively feeling uneasy.

Jiang Liu paid no heed to the thoughts of Emperor Ziwei and Long Eyebrow beside him. Looking at the fallen body of Tianxi Star, he pointed his Thunder Halberd at Tianxi Star’s corpse.

Soul-Returning Spell.
