Chapter 406: Chapter 262: The Knife Shocks Zhao Zhonghuang!
"Hiss!"
Outside the Outer City, beyond the entrance to the Wind King’s Secret Realm, Han Leishuang, who had been really worried about Xu Gu, sharply inhaled in shock.
As if he had seen a ghost.
"What?"
"What?!"
"Weren’t those Kobolds and goblins saying that this Secret Realm is terrifying?! Even the Elf Prince and the Saintess of the Witch Clan got trapped inside!"
"How did Xu Gu... He just entered, and he has already cleared it?!"
"Is there some mistake?!"
"Are they bluffing me?!"
The reddening face of Han Leishuang, who was excitedly questioning the world, harbored a surreal feeling.
Because Xu Gu had only just entered a moment ago, and Han Leishuang’s sorrowful emotions hadn’t even had the chance to develop when Xu Gu had already cleared it!
Could it be any faster?!
At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Turning his head abruptly, he saw a majestic man with the air of an emperor, wearing two Light Swords at his waist, walking slowly towards him.
"You are..."
This instantly made his scalp tingle.
The opponent had already come this close, and had he wanted to kill him, he would already be dead!
He didn’t even have time to react.
And the most terrifying part was that the man did not bother to conceal his aura!
You know, Han Leishuang was no weakling himself!
A 6-star Divine General, with a Firepower of 320,000, a top-notch natural talent, born as a natural SSS-class, rather than one who was elevated later, he was one of the foundations of the Han Yu Technology Group!
Yet he could not even perceive this person’s breath.
"This place is dangerous, head to the Inner City," said Zhao Zhonghuang, looking at Han Leishuang, who was no unknown figure; he naturally recognized him and spoke to him.
"This..." Han Leishuang frowned slightly.
A wave of irritation rose in his heart.
He obviously mistook Zhao Zhonghuang as someone looking for trouble with Xu Gu.
After all, although Xu Gu’s awakening was short, just three months, he was too capable of stirring things up and had become an enemy of the entire world.
Zhao Zhonghuang said indifferently:
"You’ve developed hostility towards me."
"Whoosh!" Han Leishuang broke into a cold sweat, his complexion drastically changing, trembling, fear beyond imagination emerged in his heart, as if he’d been targeted by a giant dragon, making his breath extremely difficult, as if facing a formidable foe.
It never occurred to him in his dreams that his own dissatisfaction would be perceptible to the other party!
Wasn’t this the end?!
The other party was so strong!
Killing him would be nearly instantaneous! There would be no resistance!
"Hurry to the Inner City. And later, avoid emotional reactions in front of those stronger than you. Many powerhouses can detect hostility, or other emotions."
Zhao Zhonghuang spoke calmly without taking it to heart and walked towards the front.
Han Leishuang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like a heavy burden had been lifted, his face filled with excitement. He glanced back at the entrance to the Secret Realm, hoping that Xu Gu would be able to fend for himself.
He had to leave.
The other party was too strong!
Even if he wanted to help Xu Gu, he couldn’t, not even qualified to be cannon fodder.
Not long after Han Leishuang left, the entrance to the Secret Realm shook.
Two figures emerged.
It was Xu Gu and Sun Xinglan.
At this moment, Sun Xinglan’s aura was strong; having absorbed the large amount of royal energies bestowed by Xu Gu, she had already reached the 8-star Divine General level and broken through her shackles.
She walked behind Xu Gu with a radiant smile on her pretty face and looked very joyful and happy. She admired and adored the towering figure of Xu Gu in front of her, and her beautiful eyes were full of respect and affection, with a hint of shyness.
"Zhao Zhonghuang."
Xu Gu suddenly stopped, alarming Sun Xinglan who looked up sharply and saw Zhao Zhonghuang in front of her and said solemnly.
Her status and position were a notch above Han Leishuang.
She recognized Zhao Zhonghuang.
Sun Xinglan became very solemn, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, reminding Xu Gu:
"He’s recognized to be on the same level as the Sea Emperor and Saint Zhou. However, I feel that he may be even stronger."
Xu Gu narrowed his eyes:
"Senior Zhao, have you come here to explore the Secret Realm?"
"No," Zhao Zhonghuang shook his head, "I am here for you."
"To kill me?" Xu Gu’s mouth curled up, his eyes ice-cold, his demeanor mocking.
Sun Xinglan took a deep breath, her expression tense, her hand gripping her weapon, locking onto Zhao Zhonghuang, ready for battle.
"I’m here to protect you."
Zhao Zhonghuang smiled and said, "I was asked by Champion Marquis to come. Originally, I should have been following you, but along the way, you took an unusual path. I had a chat with Champion Marquis and missed catching up with you."
"Champion Marquis invited a senior to protect me?" Xu Gu felt warmth in his heart, only now realizing the intention behind Champion Marquis’s summoning him to that small town earlier, obviously to invite the man before him.
Involuntarily, he felt a great deal more fondness for Champion Marquis, as well as the association.
However, he shook his head:
"Thank you for the kind intention of the senior and Champion Marquis, which I will never forget. However, protection is unnecessary. I do not need protection."
If he were weak, he would naturally have accepted it.
But now, he didn’t need protection, having a near Chosen One of unknown origin following him was quite inconvenient.
It was almost like being under surveillance.
"Hmm?" Zhao Zhonghuang frowned slightly and said, "Atlantis, with its mysterious origins, is not as simple as just the Sea God’s palace, it’s extremely dangerous.
"Even a 9-star Divine General is at risk of falling. You don’t think you can reign supreme in Atlantis and be undefeated in the city, do you?"
Xu Gu didn’t intend to engage in idle chit-chat and simply smiled:
"Exactly."
Zhao Zhonghuang’s expression changed slightly, unsure whether Xu Gu was arrogantly overconfident or truly capable and confident.
Xu Gu continued, "But that’s not the real reason."
"Which is?" Zhao Zhonghuang followed up.
"It’s that you’re incapable of protecting me," Xu Gu said with a smile.
Zhao Zhonghuang narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure?"
"I’m sure," Xu Gu said with a big laugh.
As his words fell, the Battle Instrument in his hand suddenly burst with Divine Light and he made a swift slash.
"You’re too arrogant! This will be your undoing!" Zhao Zhonghuang scoffed coldly, his aura becoming sharply fierce in an instant, his Light Sword unsheathed swiftly from his waist as terrifying energy raged, charging at heaven and earth.
Shockwaves swept across, and the ground within hundreds of meters around was melted.
Countless ancient buildings from a thousand years ago vanished into thin air, and the earth was peeled back layer by layer.
The collision occurred.
Sun Xinglan, witnessing the scene, had her pupils shrink abruptly, never expecting that the two people who had been talking amicably would suddenly engage in a fight.
This powerful shockwave was something even she, an 8-star Divine General, could hardly withstand, causing her to retreat repeatedly.
It wasn’t just her; Han Leishuang, who had already moved far away, was startled by a sudden boom and fell prostrate to the ground, his face filled with terror.
The roar was immense, like the rolling thunder of Divine Thunder, and every living creature in the northern part of the Outer City, for miles around, fell into a deep shiver of terror.
"Boom!"
The collision happened again.
Zhao Zhonghuang’s two Light Swords, like two swimming dragons, stilled as they aimed for Xu Gu’s chest.
Boom!
Xu Gu’s body was directly penetrated.
However, Zhao Zhonghuang felt no joy, instead a tremor in his heart and a tight frown, sensing an ominous feeling.
Quickly following, a Light Saber was already against his neck.
The cold light was blinding, causing Zhao Zhonghuang’s pupils to constrict sharply.
The ’Xu Gu’ pierced by Zhao Zhonghuang’s Light Sword vanished into darkness in an instant.
This was merely a clone.
Even if it was gravely injured or even perished, it wouldn’t harm Xu Gu in the slightest. Such an injury, nourished by the power of the Life Tree, would be as good as new.
From behind Zhao Zhonghuang came a detached voice:
"As I said, you do not possess the ability to protect me.
"Thank you for your kindness, which I take to heart. Please leave."
Zhao Zhonghuang’s face twitched, finding hard to believe, his heart stirred with turbulent waves.
Shocked by Xu Gu’s strength.
His mouth opened several times as if to speak, but then closed again.
"You really are the opener of this Chosen One tide," Zhao Zhonghuang said with fiery eyes, "I underestimated you. Indeed, I’m not qualified to protect you.
"However, I’ll be around in the city. If you need me, just give the order."
Xu Gu sheathed his sword and smiled, "I apologize for any offense just now. After all, time is limited, and explaining would be too troublesome, so please do not forgive me."
That was indeed the truth.
With the other party’s tough attitude, convincing them not to protect him was obviously not easy—a big waste of words and time, definitely troublesome.
Better to act directly.
"I’m not so petty," Zhao Zhonghuang shook his head and said, "Indeed time is limited; your collaborators must have run into danger."
Xu Gu’s brow furrowed. "Collaborators? Li Junqing and Fa Qing?"
To the outside world, among the people who came to Atlantis, only Li Junqing and Fa Qing from the Mage Clan could be his ’collaborators’.
"Yes. The Prince of the Kobold Clan and the Princess of the Dwarf Race are hunting them. They plan to offer them up to the Saintess of the Witch Clan.
"I came in a hurry to find you, and since it was just hearsay, I didn’t deal with it," Zhao Zhonghuang nodded and said, "You need to be careful. You carry a Treasure.
"They seem to be more intent on luring you out."
