Chapter 1390 - 1381: Death Protector Avatar
"What?"
The six of them, including Leaf Jade, changed expression, terror to the extreme, their scalps going numb.
They stared at the golden Sword Qi descending from above, pupils contracting sharply, all stunned by the supreme might contained within the Sword Qi, to the point they forgot to dodge.
No!
To be precise.
They were unable to evade!
Because within the golden Sword Qi was contained Liu Che’s kingly Dao might.
Who can avoid the wrath of a King?
Boom!
The Sword Qi fell.
It triggered a world-shocking explosion, razor-sharp sword light shooting in all directions, piercing heaven and earth, cleaving apart star rivers, tearing open the universe.
"Ah!"
A chorus of miserable screams rang out.
The five protectors following behind Leaf Jade were directly pierced through by the sword light, their souls annihilated, completely erased from this world.
"Hm?"
Liu Che looked at the center of the explosion, his brows lifting slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes, as he stretched out his hand and gripped the golden war sword condensed from various powers.
Gradually, the aftershocks dissipated.
A figure was revealed.
It was Leaf Jade.
In his hand, he was still holding a grayish-white Token, forming a layer of protective shield that cut off all Sword Qi.
"Who exactly are you?"
Leaf Jade, standing within the shield, stared fixedly at Liu Che, asking in terror.
If not for the trump card left by his master, he might well have fallen under that last strike.
At the same time, he began to doubt Liu Che’s identity.
One sword!
Slaying five Creation Realm Peak Martial Artists!
Killing those of the same realm as if slaughtering dogs.
In all his life until now, this was the first time he had seen such a terrifying man.
"Liu Che of the Qin Dynasty!"
Liu Che did not conceal his identity and spoke directly.
His long black hair lightly danced, his gaze calm, his entire body bursting with blinding light. That was the supreme Human King power, illuminating the cosmos, ruling a region.
"The Qin Dynasty!"
Leaf Jade cried out, his voice turning shrill.
This Liu Che before his eyes was actually from the Qin Dynasty.
Thinking of how his mission was to eradicate the Qin Dynasty, Leaf Jade’s face twisted outright.
Was this not digging a pit for him?
"A misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"
Leaf Jade forced out an awkward laugh.
Liu Che said nothing, merely looked at him with a half-smile that was not a smile.
Not getting a response, Leaf Jade felt somewhat embarrassed. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I admit defeat! I am a Disciple of the death protector. As long as you let me leave, I can suggest to Master that we do not become enemies with Qin!"
After hearing this, Liu Che shook his head with disdain.
Suggest!
It was nothing more than perfunctory words!
"Must you insist on a fight to the death?"
Being refused again made Leaf Jade flush with shame and anger. As a Disciple of the death protector and a rare heaven’s proud son, he was used to having the final say within the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. When had he ever lowered himself like this?
"The fish will die, but the net will not break!"
Liu Che finally spoke.
"Then go die!"
A fierce glint flashed in Leaf Jade’s eyes as he crushed the white Token in his hand with force, shooting out a strand of deathly qi that pierced the starry dome, forming a vortex.
Heaven and earth trembled, the cosmos turned illusory!
A figure clad in a gray robe, with deathly gloom coiling around him, walked out from the spatial vortex, unmatched might sweeping out, shattering the endless starry sky.
"For what matter have you summoned your teacher?"
The death protector’s avatar asked.
"Master, he is a powerhouse of the Qin Dynasty. Your Disciple is ashamed, I am not his match. The five protectors accompanying me have all fallen!"
Leaf Jade respectfully bowed and reported.
Hearing this, the death protector revealed a look of surprise. Standing above, he lowered his head to glance at Liu Che, like a god overlooking a weak ant.
An invisible force erupted from his body, making all Dao bow low.
The might of the Molding Dao Realm!
Liu Che lifted his head and met the death protector’s gaze head-on, without the slightest hint of fear. Majestic Human King power soared into the sky, making heaven and earth and the universe sway, sun and moon and cosmos losing their color.
"Interesting!"
The death protector murmured.
But just then, Liu Che’s expression changed drastically, every hair on his body standing on end as he exerted himself to the utmost, flying toward the side into the surrounding space.
And just as he moved, in the very next instant, a deathly imprint descended out of nowhere, divine might boundless, annihilating all the nearby starry skies.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were all startled, worry appearing on their faces.
"Dimensional power!"
Liu Che looked toward the death protector. At this moment, the latter stood straight, without any extra movement, but Liu Che could be certain that the attack just now had come from the death protector’s hand.
"Oh? You even know of Dimensional power?"
The death protector was somewhat surprised to hear Liu Che’s words.
Dimension.
A power that transcended time and space.
To call it power was not quite accurate; it was more like a kind of intent, not greatly related to the strength or weakness of cultivation. Of course, those whose strength was too weak could not comprehend Dimensional power at all.
Precisely because of the special nature of Dimensional power, only forces with an ancient heritage and overwhelming strength knew the cultivation methods.
At least within the Tianhe universe, among the four great clans and the Tianhe Royal Family, no one had comprehended Dimensional power.
Naturally, they could not use Dimensional power.
As for how he himself had comprehended Dimensional power, it was because he had gone to a higher-level Immortal Treasure Pavilion to learn it.
"I only know a little fur."*
Liu Che did not explain too much, his right hand gripping the war sword tightly as he thrust forward.
The Sword Qi tore through the sky, transforming into a golden dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, roaring across aeons of time and space, shredding endless great Dao.
The death protector smiled faintly, not bothering to guard. Only when the Sword Qi was about to fall did he take a single step forward and vanish into thin air.
When he appeared again, he was already behind Liu Che’s back.
Like a ghost.
Almost impossible to detect.
"Not good!"
At that moment, Liu Che felt a chill on his back, and hurriedly turned, only to see a fist imprint enlarging before his eyes, deathly qi coiling around it, faintly revealing a hell of endless torment.
There was no time to think. Liu Che slashed out with his sword.
Boom!
With a loud explosion.
The Sword Qi and the fist imprint neutralized each other, but the shockwave created still carved out a black hole in the starry sky.
"He blocked it?"
The death protector froze, feeling a great shock.
The punch he had just thrown, though not endowed with Dimensional power, was far from weak. It belonged to the normal attack of a Molding Dao Realm Martial Artist. By rights, killing a Creation Realm Martial Artist should have been easy.
How could it have been blocked?
"Heaven’s proud son!"
Suddenly, the word flashed through the death protector’s mind, making his brows knit tightly.
A heaven’s proud son who could fight across realms.
One who also knew of Dimensional power.
Clearly, he was no ordinary person.
He just did not know which power had nurtured him.
But soon, the death protector calmed down. In truth, he was not very interested in Liu Che’s true background, because he had the Immortal Treasure Pavilion at his back. In this endless universe, there were very few forces that could make the Immortal Treasure Pavilion wary.
"Again!"
The death protector roared, endless battle intent soaring, piercing the sun and moon.
Deathly qi surged.
One thousand five hundred and thirty strands of Rule Power tore through the sky.
In the pitch-black starry sky, they formed a death world, gray and hazy, with dead trees and stagnant waters everywhere, piled white bones and wailing souls.
Boom!
After the death world manifested, it pressed down toward Liu Che.
But before it moved even ten thousand miles, that death world spanning billions of miles vanished bizarrely.
