Shi Yi stood in the stone house, stunned and speechless.
Of course she did not know what “cheat” meant, but watching the massive blade in the distance continuously slicing the huge Blood Spirit War God, her mind urgently needed a word to describe the scene she saw, to describe the endless powers Ye Chui and those around him kept unleashing, she did not know the magical word “cheat”, but the word she needed could only be fully embodied by “hacking”.
The Blood Spirit War God had blood sacrificed dozens of priests, obtaining a physical body that could only exist briefly yet was still supremely powerful, for a short time his strength would absolutely not be weaker than Zaguras possessing a prince, but now that five-metre-plus flesh giant was being repeatedly assaulted by the greatblade in Guni’s hand, blood spraying, unspeakably miserable.
Shi Yi stood at the stone house entrance, her body beginning to tremble nonstop, that was trembling from fear.
In her heart now, it was like a wilful little girl, constantly saying to Ye Chui, even like this, you lot, how can you still be safe and sound! What exactly does it take to kill you?
As a noble girl with scheming and ambition, Shi Yi was qualified in every aspect, the many choices she made earlier, though cold-blooded, were from a noble’s standpoint the most valuable and optimal choices, for her family, she made many difficult choices, difficult sacrifices, to gain the divine citizen city’s trust, in her view the divine citizen city’s power was enough to crush Ye Chui and the others like bugs, but the current result… she despaired.
Only now did she feel she was wrong.
She was wrong, not because of that series of cold-blooded cruel choices she made, but because from the start she failed to recognise one thing clearly, Ye Chui, his body contained infinite possibilities, she stood on Ye Chui’s opposing side and gave him extremely high evaluations, but… those evaluations were still not high enough.
Boom rumble—
In Shi Yi’s vision, the girl called Guni gripped the greatblade and slashed down through the air once more, this slash nearly bisecting the Blood Spirit War God, body fragments and flesh sprinkling down like rain on the ground, the temple collapsed again, massive wall fragments rolling down from high above, screams of the upper citizens and sounds of houses collapsing blending into one in the inner city.
Though the Blood Spirit War God was supremely powerful, now he was clearly being suppressed by Guni.
And Ye Chui, Posili, these powerful archmages had not even acted.
The defeat was set.
The divine citizen city’s greatest trump card was the Spirit God King Zaguras, but now Zaguras was also about to die.
Shi Yi tried hard to calm the worry in her heart, she needed to consider her survival next, she assessed the current situation: sand people and slaves had already charged into the inner city, the divine citizen city’s divine citizen guards were clashing with these sand people and slaves, screams rising nonstop in various places in the inner city, where was her path to survival? Suddenly a glimmer of hope flashed in her vision.
If she encountered that person…
Shi Yi proceeded along a small alley, searching for the one person who could bring her last hope.
It seemed the gods favoured her.
Under her sincere prayers, she actually soon encountered the only person who could give her a way out.
The sixth prince.
The Beggar Prince sixth prince, ever since seeing Shi Yi at a banquet in his youth, had pursued her madly, the sixth prince was seen by the world as an eccentric person, his swordsmanship was genius level, yet he always liked dressing as a beggar, wandering everywhere seeking challengers, he disliked the throne, disdained noble etiquette, in fact at that banquet he sat by the dining table the whole time, eating messily with food crumbs falling everywhere, drawing sidelong glances, yet he relished it.
The thing about the sixth prince that people talked about most was still his mad pursuit of Shi Yi, for Shi Yi, he was willing to give up everything.
But Shi Yi never looked up to him at all, even later when he got engaged to her with Ye Chui and Debbie’s help, she never truly respected this fiancé, breaking off and severing ties with the sixth prince in the Green Bay camp, she never hesitated at all.
However… none of that mattered now.
What mattered was that the sixth prince still liked her, she stepped out from the small alley, her mouth softly calling the sixth prince’s name.
The sixth prince swung his sword to kill two divine citizen guards, hearing Shi Yi’s words, his body trembled slightly, he turned his head.
“Your Highness…” Shi Yi looked at the sixth prince’s familiar face, trying hard to put on her most affectionate expression, she walked towards the sixth prince step by step, tears welling in her eyes, “I was wrong, only now do I realise you are the one I love most, I was so scared, these days without you by my side I only now discovered my true heart…”
What nauseating words, Shi Yi felt sick in her heart, but she knew the sixth prince had no resistance to her gentle words.
He would melt in her gentle embrace.
Though the sixth prince’s power meant nothing to terrifying experts like Ye Chui and Posili, he was now Ye Chui’s companion, if he fought for her, Ye Chui would surely spare her life, that was her only way out!
She ran to the sixth prince’s side, gently throwing herself into his arms.
After getting engaged to the sixth prince, she also never liked letting him touch her, not because of any notion of chastity, if it benefited her ambitions, she did not mind offering herself as a gift proactively, she just very much disliked the sixth prince, not allowing him any intimate contact at all, like now actively throwing herself into his embrace, he would surely be so excited he would obey her every word, right?
Perhaps she could give him some other rewards, a kiss or even more intimate things…
Shi Yi calculated this in her heart, suddenly sensing something, her body trembled slightly.
The sixth prince let her throw herself into his arms, yet did not embrace her.
She lifted her head, looking at the sixth prince’s somewhat stern face, seeming puzzled, “Sixth Prince Your Highness…”
“I suddenly feel Mr Ye Chui said one thing utterly correct.” The sixth prince said faintly to Shi Yi.
“What, what words…”
The hard-sought sense of safety suddenly vanished completely, leaving only bone-chilling cold.
“You truly are a weirdo…” The sixth prince relayed, “I originally did not know what ‘weirdo’ meant, but now I seem to understand.”
After saying this, the sixth prince raised the sword in his hand.
“No!!!”
Shi Yi screamed from her mouth, rapidly trying to leave the sixth prince’s side, but blood light immediately burst from her body, her face carried shock, confusion, and mostly regret, her expression froze like that, thudding to the ground.
The sixth prince swung his longsword, flinging off the blood beads on the blade, lowered his head looking at the dead Shi Yi on the ground, moments later he shook his head, somewhat puzzled as he muttered to himself, “Truly strange…”
“Why is there no feeling at all…”
…
The divine citizen city’s temple had collapsed half, some rooms left only half, the palace’s stone walls teetering on collapse, Guni swung the God and Demon Sorrow against the terrifying Blood Spirit War General, continuously shattering the Blood Spirit War God’s body, she was enjoying the pleasure of battle.
Guni’s power realm was very peculiar, her swordsman realm if divided was at most peak mid-level swordsman, one foot stepping into advanced swordsman domain, such a realm was not outstanding, far from strong, but she had a very special physique, gaining massive magic power and great strength through food, and these traits under the enhancement of the divine artifact God and Demon Sorrow were maximised.
Ye Chui, Debbie, Posili and the others did not interfere in Guni’s battle with the Blood Spirit War God, because they could see Guni was enough to handle this Spirit God who gained power only through blood sacrifice.
In a half-collapsed stone room, Posili was still maintaining the ice castle’s existence, continuously eroding Zaguras’s power, trying to kill him completely, while casting magic, she watched the battle between Guni and the Blood Spirit War God with a complex gaze, Ye Chui’s companions were just like Ye Chui… all left her speechless!
At this time, the collapsed stones beside her were pushed aside, an elder crawled out from inside.
This person was a great bishop in the Church, following the third prince into the secret realm world through connections with the Witherwood Family, the Magic Guild and the Church had always deep ties, so Posili recognised this great bishop.
She frowned slightly, looking towards this Church elder.
“Miss Posili, please while Ye Chui is not paying attention, ambush him, I will assist you from the side.” The Church elder said with some fanaticism, “This Crown Battlefield’s opening had too many variables, lost our control, but if we can kill Ye Chui here, then everything is worth it!”
Because of some of Ye Chui’s past actions, the Church hated him to the bone, even secretly placing him at the top few sequences on the Church’s assassination list, more so a task that must be completed in this Crown Battlefield.
Posili’s brows furrowed, her mind rapidly thinking: from the power Ye Chui displayed, he was indeed a great threat to the Church and Magic Guild, but Posili now had an agreement with Ye Chui, whether for her own interests or respect for the cooperation agreement, she did not want to break with Ye Chui.
Ambushing Ye Chui, she would not do!
“Posili!” At this moment, a concerned voice came from under the teetering stone wall, bald-headed Green climbed the stone wall, clambering to Posili’s side, he looked somewhat dishevelled, mouth panting heavily, but his face showed unspeakable concern for Posili, “You are not injured, right? I was super worried about you just now…”
“Idiot, how could I be hurt!” Posili interrupted Green’s words, her voice somewhat mocking, “Look at yourself!”
“I am fine, stone blocks and bricks I am familiar with, just now a wall nearly crushed me, I directly teleported to elsewhere…” Green hurriedly smiled, even swinging his arms to show he was fine, then he suddenly saw the Church elder standing beside, his eyes scanned the Church elder’s clothing, slightly stunned, instinctively on guard, “You are not a divine citizen priest, you are from the outside world…”
“Those around Ye Chui are all sinners against God, I come to redeem you!”
The Church elder’s face showed a cold smile, with a trace of faint mockery, Green was just a subordinate around Ye Chui, in the guild responsible for cooking and housework, such a person just now actually showed that kind of intimacy to the supremely noble Phase King Archmage… what utter arrogance! Let him teach this guy a lesson for Posili!
In one hand he already gripped a holy bible, when his other hand lifted, threads of white light enveloped Green’s body, as a great bishop, the Church elder did not need to chant bible verses to cast Holy Word attacks.
Green yelled in surprise from his mouth, his body “boom” flung to the side, the powerful attack force made him directly crash into a stone wall, his body buried under rubble.
Posili stood frozen in place, because she had to divide some energy to trap Zaguras, plus the events caught her off guard, she completely did not react to what just happened.
“These minions around Ye Chui are also sinners against God, need to be completely cleared.” The Church elder looked at Green buried under rubble, his voice coldly triumphant, surely Posili had long been fed up with Green? Him helping her eliminate this deluded person, she should thank him.
But… after he said this, he suddenly saw Posili looking at him icily.
“Miss Posili?” The Church elder immediately felt puzzled in his heart, opening his mouth to ask.
Just as the words fell, he suddenly felt something wrong, his face greatly shocked, hurriedly trying to cast Holy Word for defence again, but it was already too late, ice cold aura rapidly enveloped him, invading his body flesh and bones, his face froze in shock, his body also stiffened, turning into an ice sculpture.
Then “crack”, like a glass bottle shattering on the ground, his body completely shattered, turning into fragments.
Posili took a deep breath, only then calming the anger in her heart.
While continuing to maintain the ice castle trapping Zaguras, she hurriedly came to where Green was buried, waving her hand to clear those stones.
Seeing Green lying on the ground even more dishevelled, her body trembled slightly, she hurriedly pounced to Green’s side, gently holding him up, her eyes already showing some panic, “You, you are alright, right? Rest assured, I will heal you right now… where are you injured?”
Green’s face carried bloodstains, his expression wilted, looking on the verge of death.
But the gaze he directed at Posili was unspeakably warm and clear, his body naturally leaning into Posili’s embrace, his tone weakly saying, “That old guy’s Holy Word is so powerful… uh, body feels so bad, you do not need to heal me, it is useless…”
“Do not say that, I… I do not know healing magic, I will take you to find Ye Chui right now, he is the all-element archmage, he knows every kind of magic…” Posili hurriedly said, she felt her eyes somewhat wet, her heart as if blocked by something making it hard to breathe normally, that was a strong emotion she had never had since childhood enduring the cruel training of magic children in the Magic Guild.
“No, no need…” Green said weakly, slightly closing his eyes, his face carrying endless fatigue, and a trace of faint smile.
At this moment, he seemed to feel utterly satisfied…
“You will not have anything wrong!” Posili held Green, her face appearing even more urgent, turning her head to shout towards the ruins behind, “Ye Chui, hurry over! Green is injured! Hurry over ah…”
“No, do not call the guild leader, this moment I only hope to be with you, no one else disturbing…” Green however hurriedly said, his eyes the most sincere plea.
What he sought was not much, only this moment’s warmth, no disturbances from anything…
Posili’s tears finally flowed out, she nodded forcefully, “I, I understand… you, you must not die ah… I, I actually have always…”
Green smiled weakly.
His head naturally rubbed gently in Posili’s embrace.
At this time Guni swung the greatblade once more to split the Blood Spirit War God in two, while the opponent writhed to recover, Guni leaped to a distant stone platform not yet collapsed, she reached out to stroke her belly, turned her head shouting loudly towards the temple ruins, “Green, I am hungry, I want to eat meat!”
Hearing Guni’s voice, grief welled in Posili’s heart, her mind even more inexplicably angry, Green was already done for… you companions actually still asking him for meat? You are too detestable, you…
“Coming coming!” Green hearing Guni’s shout immediately responded loudly, like nothing happened he jumped up from Posili’s embrace, starting to take out some pre-cooked meat chunks from his magic book, teleporting them to Guni’s side.
Hm, though he looked a bit dishevelled on the outside, actually he was not injured at all…
Posili’s teardrops slid down her face, she stared blankly at Green, “…Eh!?”
