Chapter 735: Chapter 735: In Hand
At this moment, Murong Ziyi could only grit his teeth, stubborn to the bone, enduring the humiliation!
Inferior in skill, there was no face to retort.
People of the alliance like Liu Ruyun were each incredibly excited.
This was their Alliance Hierarch!
What of the geniuses?
In front of Ling Chen, they too had to bow down.
A genius who half a year ago could only obtain the Humanity’s Command token, now had a defeated genius in hand.
"How is this possible?"
Murong Yuehua’s face was pale.
This was her brother, whom she had been immensely proud of since childhood!
To be defeated by a six-star Emperor?
Fu Yuntian, Gu Wendao, and Ma Tianzong also had bitter expressions on their faces.
"How could this happen?"
Netherworld Capital Commander Fu Dutong also found it hard to believe.
Hadn’t it been thought that with Murong Ziyi personally taking action, killing Ling Chen would be a piece of cake?
Who knew that the might of a genius would become a stepping stone for Ling Chen’s rise?
Is this Ling Chen really from outside the Northern Domain, from one of the Four Domains?
Such talent, even in the Northern Domain, would be considered among the top geniuses!
Perhaps only the geniuses from Qing City could compete with Ling Chen, right?
A mere six-star Emperor actually defeating a seven-star genius wielding a superior Emperor Spiritual Weapon?
It’s truly terrifying!
"Murong Ziyi, do you still wish to fight?"
Ling Chen shook the Red Long Sword in his hand, with the sword’s tip pointing directly at Murong Ziyi.
"I admit defeat!"
Murong Ziyi almost gnashed his teeth as he uttered these words.
If not for the Moon God Soldiers, he would have been severely injured by now.
How could he have the courage to contend with Ling Chen?
"Admitting defeat is possible!"
Ling Chen’s eyes turned cold, saying, "Hand over your superior Emperor Spiritual Weapon!"
In the inheritance of Lord Yan Huang, there was only a mid-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
There was no superior Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
Otherwise, with his mastery of the Sword Dao, he could definitely refine a superior Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
"What?"
Murong Ziyi’s expression became tense.
This superior Emperor Spiritual Weapon, was exceedingly precious,
and not even some high-ranking Emperors possessed one.
His Murong Family only had three of them.
It was for him to seize a better ranking in the Qing Province Genius List that his father had bestowed upon him this Purple Profound Sword.
"What, did you think that your opponent taking action, would not require any price to be paid?"
Ling Chen sneered, "Choose between your life or your Spiritual Weapon!"
Seeing as Murong Ziyi’s father was a Commander, he hadn’t struck fatally.
Had it been someone else, Ling Chen would have killed them long ago.
He needed to continue cultivating the Green Lotus Sword Manual; he was bound to kill again.
This person once harbored the intention to kill him.
Had it not been for his power gap with eight-star Emperors, he would have already made his move.
"Uncle Fu!"
Murong Ziyi quickly looked towards Fu Dutong.
He could not hand over the superior Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
Now, his only hope was to plead with Fu Dutong for rescue.
"Ling Chen, one should show mercy whenever possible, I can let go of your killing of our Northern Domain’s prodigy."
Fu Dutong spoke.
Ling Chen’s current performance was not inferior to that of the geniuses, even among the geniuses he was not at the bottom.
Such a person would definitely make it onto the Genius List.
In the future, he might even enter Central Province, contending with the peak talents from the Nine Provinces Continent.
He was already not on the same level.
If Lord Governor had to choose between two, he would definitely choose Ling Chen over him, the Commander.
That’s why he was willing to forgo pursuing the matter of Ling Chen killing the pride of the Northern Domain.
And chose to reconcile with Ling Chen.
"You holding me accountable?"
Ling Chen stared at Fu Gu and sneered: "I haven’t even held you accountable yet! How is it that when the pride of your Northern Region makes a move against me, you expect to lightly let it slide? Where in this world can you find such a cheap deal?"
"I have not executed this person, giving you face already! What, do you really think the Eastern Domain has no one capable?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Gu’s face changed slightly.
He sighed, "Young Master Ling, I know that you feel aggrieved. But you must understand, you are just a genius, and in the Northern Region, there are too many who could kill you. Commander Murong, with strength even greater than mine, will definitely not let you go for killing Murong Ziyi. Why not bury the hatchet with a smile?"
"Cut the crap! Today, you either hand over a top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon, or you hand over your life!"
Ling Chen turned his gaze to Murong Ziyi.
"Ling Chen, do you really want to go against our Northern Region?"
Fu Gu said coldly.
Unexpectedly, Ling Chen was being so ungrateful.
He and Murong Ziyi’s father were friends.
Naturally, he could not sit by and watch Murong Ziyi be slain.
"What are you supposed to be? You think you’re qualified to represent the Northern Region?"
Ling Chen retorted coldly: "Say one more useless thing, and once I ascend the genius rankings, the first thing I’ll do is wipe out your Fu family!"
He considered himself to already have restrained his anger sufficiently.
All he wanted was one top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon as compensation, yet this Fu Commander kept incessantly nagging.
"Brat, you’re seeking death!"
Fu Gu was furious.
Although Ling Chen had defeated Murong Ziyi, he was definitely not a match for him.
This person dared to threaten him, and had already crossed his bottom line.
Ling Chen currently did possess formidable talent, but only a few were aware of it.
If he killed Ling Chen now, even if Lord Governor learned about it afterward, he would not interfere for a dead man.
At this moment, he truly began to harbor killing intent towards Ling Chen.
"Old man, it seems my warning doesn’t work on you, right?"
Shen Xing moved swiftly, standing beside Ling Chen.
Then, with a slight concentration of his right hand, a Silver Sphere appeared.
Spiritual Power surged into it and the surface of the Silver Sphere suddenly split apart, forming a lotus flower.
As the lotus flower took shape, a terrifying aura swept out in an instant.
"What is that?"
Fu Gu’s expression drastically changed, and he hurriedly drew Fu Yuntian into his inner world, before retreating dozens of feet.
That aura was too horrifying!
Even a nine-star emperor-level powerhouse might not be able to emit such an aura.
"Old man, get lost now, or I’ll let you taste my methods!"
Shen Xing sneered: "Although using this on an eight-star emperor is somewhat wasteful, you brought this upon yourself!"
Looking at the Silver Lotus in Shen Xing’s hand, a look of terror emerged on Fu Gu’s face.
He was keenly aware that the Silver Lotus was locked squarely on him.
If he did not leave, he might truly fall!
"Murong Nephew, hand over the Emperor Spiritual Weapon!"
Fu Gu transmitted a message.
Then, he turned into a streak of light and fled into the distance.
"Commander Fu was scared away!"
Liu Ruyun, Qin Wufa, Ouyang Jie, and others were shocked beyond measure.
They thought Ling Chen was terrifying enough!
But Shen Xing was even more frightening, swiftly scaring away an eight-star emperor!
Ling Chen nodded at Shen Xing.
The Silver Lotus was truly terrifying.
What Shen Xing said was probably true.
"Young Master Murong, I give you one last chance!"
Ling Chen said coldly.
"Take it!"
Murong Ziyi threw the top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon over.
Even Fu Gu had been scared away.
He had no one to rely on anymore.
With Ling Chen’s ruthless nature, if he did not hand it over, Ling Chen really might kill him.
Ling Chen took it, glanced at it, confirmed it was correct, and then said: "You may go now!"
Promptly, he stored away the Purple Profound Sword.
