Immortal God of War-Chapter 772 - 737: Holy Artifact, The Door of Time! _1
Seeing this, Qin Feiyangโs expression changed dramatically. "Run!" he ordered.
WHOOSH!
The four of them leaped without hesitation, rapidly plunging downward. ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ธ๐๐๐.๐๐๐
Zhuge Mingyang was a Nine-Star War Ancestor. As for Qin Feiyangโs group, Fatty had already advanced to a Three-Star War Ancestor, while Qin Feiyang was a Four-Star War Ancestor. The auras Li Li and Li Rong exuded were merely those of One-Star War Ancestors. Given their cultivation levels, even if all four joined forces, they stood no chance of winning. Escape was their only option!
"Thinking of running?"
Zhuge Mingyang sneered disdainfully. He executed a profound movement technique, swift as a divine rainbow, and pursued them like lightning! His speed was now a full four times faster than before!
Li Rong exclaimed in alarm, "A Perfect Auxiliary Battle Technique!"
Simultaneously, Qin Feiyangโs heart sank. It wasnโt surprising that the most prodigious figure in the Great Qin Empire possessed the Perfect Auxiliary Battle Technique. But now, facing Zhuge Mingyang who was burning with killing intent, they didnโt even have a chance to escape.
"Die!"
With his Nine-Star War Ancestor cultivation and the Perfect Auxiliary Battle Technique, Zhuge Mingyangโs speed was simply incomparable to Qin Feiyangโs group.
In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Qin Feiyang, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he threw a punch!
"Boss!" Fatty cried out, unhesitatingly shielding Qin Feiyang with his body.
"Quite loyal, arenโt you?" Zhuge Mingyang sneered coldly.
Just as Zhuge Mingyangโs fist was about to strike Fatty, Qin Feiyang acted without hesitation, pulling Fatty into the ancient castle with him. The disparity in their strength was too vast; there was no point in continuing the fight.
The moment the two vanished, Zhuge Mingyangโs expression became savage!
WHOOSH!
He flashed forward, caught Li Rong, and seized her by the throat.
Li Li immediately paled and yelled, "Let her go!"
But Zhuge Mingyang acted as if he hadnโt heard. Standing in the void, he scanned the surroundings and roared, "Qin Feiyang, get out here right now, or Iโll kill her!"
"You dare!" Li Li shouted in rage.
"Even the Princes must show me some respect, let alone killing a nobody," Zhuge Mingyang gave a sinister laugh. His five fingers suddenly tightened, directly crushing Li Rongโs neck.
Fresh blood instantly dyed the sky!
"Xueโer!" Witnessing this, Li Liโs eyes almost split with fury, his teeth gritted as he charged towards Zhuge Mingyang like a madman.
"Seeking death!"
At this moment, Zhuge Mingyang seemed to have transformed into a terrifying Demon King of slaughter!
WHOOSH!
He spun, his large hand shooting out, fingers bent like an eagleโs talon, snatching at Li Liโs head.
"Stop!"
Just then, Qin Feiyang reappeared.
The corner of Zhuge Mingyangโs mouth twitched upwards. With a twist of his arm in mid-air, he seized Li Li by the throat, then turned to Qin Feiyang and sneered, "I was beginning to think you truly didnโt care about them!"
And Li Li, merely a One-Star War Ancestor, how could he possibly be Zhuge Mingyangโs opponent? Gripped by the throat, he had no strength to resist.
Qin Feiyang gave Zhuge Mingyang a somber look, then turned to Li Li. "What did you call her just now?"
"Xueโer," Li Li gritted his teeth, his face etched with despair.
Qin Feiyang said gravely, "Tell me, who are you really?"
"Who are we?" Li Li muttered to himself, then abruptly looked at Qin Feiyang and roared in anguish, "Arenโt you supposed to be so clever? Do you still need me to tell you?"
"So it really is you!"
"Mu Qing, Mu Xueโer!" Qin Feiyangโs face became extremely dark.
Back in the ancient castle, when he heard โLi Liโ call out the name Xueโer, he had suspected they might be the Mu siblings. He hadnโt expected it to actually be them. But he couldnโt understand why these two would be with Lu Xingchen. And back then, in the Netherworld, was Lu Xingchen also the one pulling the strings to set him up?
Hearing the exchange between Qin Feiyang and the man now revealed as Mu Qing, and observing their expressions, Zhuge Mingyang frowned. "Arenโt you friends?" he asked.
"Friends?" Qin Feiyang sneered repeatedly, then looked at Zhuge Mingyang and said indifferently, "Do with me as you please."
WHOOSH!
With that, he vanished without a trace.
Whatโs going on? Zhuge Mingyang was somewhat stupefied, unsure of what to do for a moment.
"I schemed against him multiple times in the past and nearly cost him his life," Mu Qing said mockingly. "Right now, he probably wishes he could kill me with his own hands. How could he possibly be my friend?"
Zhuge Mingyang raised an eyebrow, murderous intent glinting in his eyes. "Since thatโs the case, thereโs no use keeping you alive."
"Want to kill me?" Mu Qing laughed grimly. "You donโt have the ability!"
An incomparably terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body! The instant this aura appeared, the earth trembled and the void warped. Even Zhuge Mingyang couldnโt help but feel a chill run down his spine!
Without thinking, he immediately released Mu Qing and the deceased Mu Xueโer, rapidly retreating.
CLANG!
Just as Zhuge Mingyang fell back, a blood-red beam of light shot out from between Mu Qingโs eyebrows.
It was actually a palm-sized stone gate!
The stone gate, entirely blood-red, hovered above Mu Qingโs head. It looked as if it were dyed in blood and emanated a world-shaking pressure!
This is... Zhuge Mingyangโs eyes were filled with astonishment and doubt.
Mu Qing shot Zhuge Mingyang a grim, hostile look before swooping down to cradle the deceased Mu Xueโer.
"Xueโer, Iโm sorry... I should have taken out the Time-Space Gate earlier; then you wouldnโt have died. Itโs your brother who has failed you." Looking at Mu Xueโerโs pale face, Mu Qingโs own was filled with self-reproach.
Time-Space Gate? Zhuge Mingyang frowned.
Suddenly, Mu Qing looked up at Zhuge Mingyang, his eyes completely bloodshot, like a frenzied wild beast. "Zhuge Mingyang, is it?" he snarled. "You just wait. Sooner or later, I will make you pay for this in blood!"
"Time-Space Gate, awaken!" he roared, and a stream of blood-red qi surged from his body. This was his vital energy, a combination of Battle Intent and lifeblood.
Once this vital energy appeared, it continuously surged towards the stone gate. The stone gate, in turn, frantically absorbed Mu Qingโs vital energy.
As it absorbed more and more vital energy, the stone gate began to grow larger, and the aura it emitted became increasingly powerful! Zhuge Mingyang couldnโt get near it; instead, he was forced back repeatedly.
Meanwhile, Mu Qingโs body was undergoing a drastic transformation. His face was aging! The flesh and blood in his body were being depleted!
Soon, he became a skeletal old man, his face covered in wrinkles.
"Still not awakening?" Looking at the ever-expanding stone gate, he mumbled to himself, his gaze dimming.
Suddenly, he yelled, "Qin Feiyang, if you donโt want to die, get out here and help me!"
WHOOSH!
Qin Feiyang materialized, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at the current state of Mu Qing and the stone gate. But he didnโt offer to help.
Mu Qing said anxiously, "I can get you out of the Imperial Capital!"
"Leave the Imperial Capital!" Qin Feiyangโs gaze flickered.
He truly did want to leave the Imperial Capital. But this was also his most pressing problem. There was only one way to leave the Imperial Capital: through the teleportation altars in the Spirit Pagoda. However, the Spirit Pagoda was guarded by Elder Qin, whose strength was unfathomable. Furthermore, the back mountain was a restricted area of the Imperial Palace, its entrance guarded by powerful experts. He simply couldnโt find an opportunity to get into the back mountain.
Therefore, hearing Mu Qing claim he could get him out of the Imperial Capital, Qin Feiyang couldnโt help but be tempted. But could he really trust this person who had schemed against him in the past?
"Iโm not lying to you," seeing Qin Feiyang remain impassive, Mu Qing grew frantic and yelled. "Anywhere you want to go within the Great Qin Empire, I can make it happen!"
"Alright." After a moment of contemplation, Qin Feiyang finally decided to trust Mu Qing this one time.
WHOOSH!
He took a step, heading towards Mu Qing.
However, the pressure radiating from the stone gate sent him flying! The sensation was like being slammed by a giant mountain; his body felt like it was about to fall apart, and blood sprayed uncontrollably.
BOOM!
Intense killing intent flared in Qin Feiyangโs eyes. "Youโre still trying to trick me, even now!" he snarled.
"Donโt misunderstand," Mu Qing said. "I was careless. Try again now." After Mu Qing spoke, with a mere thought from him, the formless pressure blocking Qin Feiyang vanished into thin air.
Qin Feiyang tentatively took a step. Seeing no resistance, he flew towards Mu Qing with confidence.
"Stop!" But at that exact moment, Zhuge Mingyang roared and also chased after Qin Feiyang.
"Scram!" Mu Qing roared, and the formless pressure reappeared, directly forcing Zhuge Mingyang back.
Huh? Qin Feiyang turned his head, looking at Zhuge Mingyang in surprise. The pressure has returned, yet Iโm completely unaffected? Can Mu Qing control this pressure selectively?
"Hurry, I canโt hold on much longer!" Mu Qing yelled.
SWOOSH!
Qin Feiyang turned and, in a few blinks, landed beside Mu Qing. Looking at the stone gate, he frowned. "What do I need to do?"
"Do the same as me," Mu Qing said.
Without hesitation, Qin Feiyangโs body jolted, and a surge of his vital energy erupted, pouring towards the stone gate.
Immediately, a look of horror appeared on his face! The instant his vital energy flowed into the stone gate, he immediately sensed that the gate was like a bottomless abyss. Furthermore, the stone gate began to actively draw the vital energy from his body!
This is... Staring at the stone gate, a terrifying name surfaced in his mind. He whipped his head towards Mu Qing, exclaiming in shock, "This stone gate of yours is a Holy Artifact?"
"Thatโs right!" Mu Qing nodded.
"Damn it, are you insane?" Qin Feiyang roared in fury. Without hesitation, he summoned the Wolf King, Fatty, Lu Hong, the Mountain Piercing Beast, and the Black Dragon Snakeโeveryoneโfrom the ancient castle.
"Quick! Help us awaken the stone gate!" Qin Feiyang ordered. In that mere instant, his appearance had aged by more than ten years. A large portion of the vital energy in his body had clearly been absorbed by the stone gate!
Seeing this, Fatty and the others were also filled with astonishment, but without asking any questions, they immediately channeled their vital energy towards the stone gate.
A Holy Artifact... Meanwhile, standing in the distance, Zhuge Mingyang stared at the stone gate, his eyes wide with shock.
Itโs actually a Holy Artifact!
ใSuddenly!ใ
He jolted back to his senses and swiftly took out an Image Crystal Stone.
A golden figure rapidly materializedโit was the Great Commander of the Black Iron Army! Before the Great Commander could speak, Zhuge Mingyang blurted out urgently, "Great Commander, come to the Black Dragon Pool quickly! Qin Feiyang and his group are here, and they possess a Holy Artifact!"
"What?" The Great Commanderโs eyes widened in disbelief. "They have a Holy Artifact?"
