CHAPTER 818: CHAPTER 822: KING CUP

Su Li definitely couldn’t just ignore the little bug. Gritting her teeth, she rushed towards the King Cup at the fastest speed, ready to grab it and escape together.

Now she didn’t have the luxury of worrying about why the little bug would wake up early and how it could appear outside on its own.

Su Li was fast, but there was someone whose speed was even faster than hers.

A flash of shadow, Su Li’s action missed, and the little bug’s tiny body was already pinched between that man’s fingers.

"Dao Spirit.... so it’s you...."

"I thought no one could switch things right under my nose."

Hao Jun glanced casually at Su Li, "You really are favored by the heavens, to have such a spiritual object willing to extinguish its own spiritual body for you...."

From Hao Jun’s usually calm and indifferent voice, Su Li discerned a trace of jealousy.

Even if she couldn’t understand every word Hao Jun had just said, it was not difficult for her to guess some of the truth behind the matter.

For instance, the little bug’s identity was significant, such as, aside from the last time the little bug shielded her from the Goddess’s strike, the reason she could preserve her soul under the blade of the Divine Monarch was also due to the little bug.

"However, the only possessor of the Phoenix Bloodline in the world is naturally blessed."

The little bug kept struggling between Hao Jun’s fingers, its rows of feet moving frantically.

These soft-bodied creatures typically frighten little girls, especially with their multitude of feet, which could trigger fear in those with trypophobia. But now, Su Li’s eyes and heart were filled with nothing but concern.

"Let it go, if there’s any grievance, come at me." Su Li threw cold words unreservedly at Hao Jun.

Hao Jun’s fingers holding the little bug remained motionless, but the index finger of his other hand slowly pointed towards the little bug’s forehead.

An ordinary-looking finger, yet Su Li felt a dreadful sense of impending doom.

In her heart, she kept screaming: No, you absolutely must not let that finger touch the little bug.

Having understood the Law of Life, she was even more sensitive to destruction.

Hao Jun’s finger carried the power of destruction.

Su Li spat out a mouthful of blood and fiercely swung a palm in Hao Jun’s direction, golden with purple flowing lights swiftly attacked Hao Jun.

This was the mightiest strike Su Li could currently unleash.

It’s not in the move, but the Merit Golden Light and Faith Power contained within the flowing light were enough to be alarming.

Hao Jun’s originally indifferent appearance changed for the first time. He wanted to retreat, but the flowing light seemed to grow eyes, following him closely until he had nowhere to dodge and had to take the full brunt of the attack.

Hao Jun’s robe became disheveled, far from the initial calm and elegant like an immortal.

Half a moment later, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He had paid the price for his rival.

At this point, he finally begrudgingly looked at Su Li, saying, "Lady, you truly opened my eyes."

Even so, after he elegantly wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, a rare hint of regret appeared in his usually indifferent eyes.

"What a pity, in such a short time, you could grow to such a level, your talent is really high... In this world, those who can harm me are scarce, you have the fortune to be one...."

Hao Jun expressed his high praise for Su Li without reservation. But despite his words, he did not change his original intention.

The sword he had put away before appeared in his palm now.

Though his posture was casual, he took the utmost caution facing Su Li.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that he seemed unscathed just now, inside he was in turmoil. If he hadn’t forced himself to suppress it, it wouldn’t have been just a trace of blood at the corners of his mouth.

Hao Jun appeared calm, but inside, he was alarmed.

It’s just that Su Li was never aware of Hao Jun’s internal psychological dynamics. Otherwise, she would have realized that she wasn’t as weak as she considered herself.

After all, this was the Merit Power and Faith Power even Saints had to dread.

There are countless laws and paths in the world, Hao Jun had seen people take this path, but only one gathered Merit so abundantly that it could even transform into actual attacks.

Putting aside his previous carelessness, Hao Jun nodded seriously towards Su Li, "Take my sword."

The moment Hao Jun raised his sword with both hands, lightning flashed and thunder roared, filling the entire space with a realm of melancholy.

"This sword is named Blossoms Scatter."

The music ends, Blossoms Scatter, the beautiful one is gone, leaving only an empty sigh.

Su Li suddenly understood, the feelings of the day were true feelings, but also ruthless. Though it was a pity, there were no regrets. This was this Divine Monarch’s entire sentiment towards his once mortal wife.

This only made him even more hateful.

If she were the one, she would rather the other always be insincere, rather than mixed with true feelings.

But that’s a joke, although Hao Jun felt she was that person, Su Li would never admit it.

After traveling through so many small worlds, she’d encountered too many scumbag men like this, usually never waiting for the next day, she’d carve them up with one strike.

This one might be stronger, but a confirmed scumbag won’t escape death at her hands sooner or later.

After the big words, Su Li began to worry about how to escape again.

She had felt the power of this sword strike; if it weren’t for her strong spiritual power, the mere intent within the sword would have crushed her and prompted a self-determined end.

Soon, the sword light flashing with a chilling glint roared towards her, directly targeting Su Li’s face.

At the most critical moment, the little bug Hao Jun had forgotten, in a few blinks, appeared between the sword light and Su Li.

Su Li’s eyes were about to crack, she screamed tearfully, "Little bug, come back."

The scene of being slain by the Goddess reoccurred that day, Su Li’s hate almost ground her teeth down.

At the moment the sword light hit, a barrier of purple and golden surrounded the little bug, barely holding the sword light at a finger’s distance away.

"Hurry up and leave."

A tender childish voice suddenly appeared in Su Li’s Divine Soul.

The little bug twitched its antennae and looked deeply at Su Li, the urgent voice once again echoed in her Divine Soul, "Go now, I can’t hold on for long."

In that wasted moment, the sword light moved forward again, "If you don’t hurry up, I have the Merit and Faith you gave me, I won’t die."

It won’t die, but would return to the world, back to its original form.

The King Cup would never explain this to Su Li.

A Dao Spirit born from the creation of the heavens and the earth, a naturally grown spiritual object, was envied by all paths of Heaven, but to grow from an ignorant being to its current state required experiencing billions of years and opportunities to achieve this.

Before, to protect Su Li, it had reverted to an ignorant state through severe injury; if it hadn’t subconsciously stayed with Su Li, and later nourished by the Merit and Faith she acquired for many years, there would not be the day it regained its memory now.

Yet returning to the world now meant facing separation from Su Li once more.... The King Cup also felt a sense of reluctance at this moment.
