Chapter 105: Chapter 104: Did He Anticipate It?

The people present were unaware…

They had no idea about the gobsmacked expression on Luo Wusheng’s face as he turned his back to the masses.

’Two strikes? The battle ended with just two strikes?’

In the original story, she unleashed three strikes even when facing fewer enemies!

In the original plot, because the Immortal Nation had incomplete information regarding the 3 families that collided with the Netherkin nation, they only discovered two traitors families within the three major families. The last family escaped back to the Netherland after causing chaos.

“The one who escaped is the Goat Netherkin— It seems he sustained the least damage from the battle,” someone said.

Was the Goat Netherkin able to escape because of pure luck? Or was it because the Goat Netherkin’s role in the original book was not yet over, and his ending had not been determined?

Was this another kind of correction that is imposed by the world?

But these were not the main issues.

’It’s clear that the reason the Empress was able to defeat the Netherkin Nascent Soul experts with just two strikes instead of a third is because of my presence…’

It was because the quality and quantity of the mountains, rivers, and jade stones he possessed far exceeded expectations, causing the power of the second strike to go plus ultra.

It could only be said that the original Luo Wusheng has more than normal affection for rare stones, for he is the only one in this world who would possess jade stones at such an astonishing level.

’Although there have been some changes, skipping one strike shouldn’t be a big problem. Regardless, the difference in achievements between the original story and what has been achieved is not significant…’

Moreover, it was better for the Empress to not unleash the third strike. Luo Wusheng was also somewhat worried about what kind of annoying thing would happen if she swung it again.

He really didn’t want to turn into a light bulb again.

Hmm… In the original story, it’s written that the last strike borrowed the power of the sun, moon, and stars. Things related to him that are related to that… Could the Star-Moon Jade count as one? What about the Purple Yang Divine Stone? And the Cold Moon Ice Crystal…

Ahem, well, in any case, it is better for the Empress to defeat the Netherkin with fewer strike.

But the troublesome part now was that he had become the center of attention once again…

Originally, Luo Wusheng wanted to use the ability of his eye to get a closer look at the current situation on the battlefield.

Although he could still vaguely see the Empress, who had fallen to the ground, while standing in mid-air, he couldn’t determine the life or death of the Netherkin, nor did he know what the Empress was saying.

Just as he felt a bit regretful, his expression suddenly darkened.

His divine sense quickly sank into the space within his left eye.

He saw a somewhat emaciated figure suddenly appear on an empty cubic platform.

Then, in the next moment, a meatball rolled out from the emerging shadow.

“Phew~ It’s a good thing I kept something in reserve.”

A mouth grew on the meatball, and it let out a sigh of relief. “I didn’t expect that the techniqueI left behind to deal with that ugly rat would actually save my life at this moment— However, according to the message sent by that useless ugly rat before he left, this item has fallen into the hands of the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect.”

“Heh, how could our Nation’s precious treasure fall into the hands of a mere human with a Golden Core cultivation foundation? Once I’ve restored my cultivation and reshaped my Origin form, I will leave this space and kill the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect—”

The meatball’s words paused for a moment, and its mouth extended its tongue to lick its slightly dry lips.

After killing the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, this treasure would have no owner.

Calculating in its mind, the meatball rolled on the platform.

’Come to think of it, this Holy Saint of the Demon Sect seems to be just like that detestable human ant from tonight, both with a Peak Golden Core stage cultivation— Tsk, just mentioning that ant makes me want to devour his flesh. If it weren’t for him obstructing me, I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation, using a curse to possess a sacrifice and escape!’

It suppressed the hatred in its heart, but suddenly felt its body lighten.

The cold night wind swept over its body.

Although it hadn’t yet grown eyes, it could still perceive the world with the slight recovery of its divine sense.

So the meatball instantly saw the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, who was grabbing it with disdain using spiritual energy.

’Holy Saint of the Demon Sect? Has he discovered me? And he directly transferred me out of the space? No! It can’t be! How could he have mastered this eye so quickly!’

If it had eyes at this moment, it would probably perform a spectacle of pupil shaking once again.

However, it quickly noticed something else.

’This direction, this location, this feeling— This, this Holy Saint of the Demon Sect is the detestable human ant from earlier?!’

Feeling the spiritual energy enveloping it suddenly trembled, a strong unwillingness emanated from the consciousness within the meatball.

It’s him again! It’s this ant—

The consciousness within the meatball was sealed.

As the sealing was completed, Luo Wusheng, who had completed the seal, looked at the object thoughtfully.

This meatball should be the life-saving measure of that Goat Netherkin on the battlefield. This could be inferred from the Netherkin soliloquy in the Eye Space just now.

’After all, the mind-reading eye was originally the Artifact of the Netherkin, so it’s understandable that someone left behind a means of escape inside its space— But why does it feel like he doesn’t have any defenses against me? Does he think I won’t discover him?’

However, at the moment the other party entered the space, Luo Wusheng instantly sensed it.

Luo Wusheng touched his chin.

Well, fortunately, the remnant of the Goat Netherkin strength is just so so, if he were to still have his Nascent Soul cultivation instead, he would have to flee.

“How should I deal with it? Should I kill him? But I’m not sure how to ensure that he’s truly dead. If he resurrects in another place one day and regains its cultivation, he might come back for revenge…”

He muttered to himself but suddenly looked in a certain direction when his spiritual awareness picked up a Nascent Soul expert presence.

Miss Kirin, wearing a scale-patterned mask, stood in mid-air, seemingly looking for something.

Luo Wusheng’s eyes lit up.

Right, he could hand this thing over to the Immortal Nation for disposal.

With that in mind, he flew towards Miss Kirin’s direction.

…

On the battlefield.

The Empress, standing before the body of the Goat Netherkin, had a contemplative look in her eyes.

’Surely there’s something weird about this…’

As she looked at the emaciated Goat Netherkin, which still had signs of life but was struggling without any autonomous consciousness, the Empress snorted coldly.

She knew very well that her earlier strike couldn’t have turned the Goat Netherkin into its current state.

“It must be a life-saving measure… But after taking my previous strike, he must have paid a significant price to activate it…”

Considering the caution displayed by the Goat Netherkin during their battle, he was likely to have fled back to the Netherland and wouldn’t dare to appear in the royal city again.

Fortunately, although she had slain the Ox Netherkin, she left a bit of life for that thick-skinned Pig Netherkin for interrogation, since the Goat Netherkin had escaped and this body in front of her was of no use anymore.

With that in mind, the Empress lightly swung the Human Emperor Sword in her hand.

The already heavily injured body of the Goat Netherkin stopped struggling and completely lost its vitality.

Retrieving the Human Emperor Sword, which wasn’t stained with a drop of blood, the Empress’s gaze flickered.

Tonight’s achievements had already exceeded her expectations in a sense.

According to her original plan, she would have used the Human Emperor Sword for three strikes tonight.

One strike with the power of all beings, one strike with the power of mountains, rivers, and lakes, and one strike with the power of the sun, moon, and stars.

Even with all three strikes, she only had confidence in severely injuring three Nascent Soul Netherkin and would have entered a slightly weakened state afterward.

However, she didn’t expect that she had already killed all of the Nascent Soul Netherkin with just the first two strikes.

’Holy Saint of the Demon Sect…’

What was the purpose of his arrival tonight?

Did he anticipate the current situation beforehand?
