Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 648: Chapter 620: How Could This Happen? (Please Subscribe)

When Qi Wuji returned to the deepest level of the abandoned mine pit, his face was still very ugly.

He could not accept that his two full-powered strikes had no effect on Lin Hao, nor could he accept the rapid increase in Luo Wangshu’s combat power.

Qi Wuji wondered what was the point of the great sacrifices he made to enhance his strength?

Not only did he sacrifice his physical body, but he also sacrificed his identity and status that took over 100 years to build, and even left hidden dangers in his Primordial Spirit.

Yet even after making such great sacrifices, he still could not match Luo Wangshu, and couldn’t even suppress one of Luo Wangshu’s disciples!

Vice President Brown noticed his thoughts and immediately reassured with a smile, “Mr. Qi, Luo Wangshu’s improvement in combat power is actually expected. I had suspected that the Hidden Crown Prince had colluded with a rising star in our Federation named Lin Rui. Now it’s almost certain.”

Brown felt a great regret as he said this.

The Battle Dragon of Lin Hao and his protector demon is ‘Radiant Thunder Emperor Sun’ and ‘Blood Core Mad Sun’, whereas the Battle Dragon of the bodyguard Yu Ying’er by Lin Rui’s side is ‘Emperor Hao Divine Sun’.

Although both are Yang (masculine) Battle Dragons, the distinction is significant; the former two specialize in thunder and fire, while Emperor Hao Divine Sun specializes in Light Element and Great Sun attacks.

Thus, these two should merely have a relationship of collusion and sharing resources, rather than being the same person, as he had previously judged.

The stark difference in their Battle Dragons provides the strongest evidence.

No matter how many coincidences and similarities the two of them have, nothing can overturn this.

Besides his regret, a murderous intent also surged to the extreme in Brown’s heart.

If Lin Hao is not Lin Rui, then he must be eliminated as soon as possible.

The Federation has already signed a peace treaty and trade agreement with Great Song, and the upcoming opening of the starport will be a huge opportunity for the Longevity Association to deeply participate in.

However, he did not show the slightest change in expression, and he calmly said, “Lin Rui controls a powerful pharmaceutical conglomerate. Luo Wangshu most likely obtained a large amount of the Federation’s prohibited items through this channel. Rest assured, Mr. Qi, once this matter is over, I will have the Federation’s judicial system investigate Lin Rui and make him pay the price.”

The Purgatory Prince was too lazy to care about Qi Wuji’s thoughts, his dragon face was extremely ashen.

He did not expect that this baiting tactic not only failed to lure Lin Hao and his disciple into an ambush, but also resulted in such heavy losses.

In this battle alone, the number of Ninth Realm Demons that died in action reached as many as fifteen!

Although all of those were poorly-made imitations produced through various bloody methods in combination with Purgatory Light and various Purgatory demon medicines, their actual combat power was not comparable to even a fraction of Seventh Realm of Sky Extreme Star.

Yet their strength, speed, and Bloodline Abilities were real and tangible, capable of overwhelming suppression over low-level Martial Artists if deployed on the battlefield.

Just thinking about the time and effort expended to cultivate these demons, not to mention the immense financial resources, sent shivers down the spine of the Purgatory Prince.

That Demon Sect’s King Ming is really bad luck!

The Purgatory Prince then waved his hand and instructed the several high-level mages behind him: “You few go and open the passage, release the Purgatory Light!”

This was their backup plan, to open up the passage between this mine and Sky Pool.

This passage has been in existence for nearly three years, and it took them a long time to open up this smuggling route.

However, due to recent adjustments of defense zones by the ‘Sky Pool Four Armies’ stationed in the interior of Great Song and their actions cleaning the interior, this smuggling route could no longer be used.

They had no choice but to seal it temporarily, waiting for the future.

So the previous mining was just for show.

As long as the passage is open, the Purgatory Light inside the Sky Pool will be released outward, forcing Luo Wangshu and his disciple to continue delving deeper into the mine.

If these two bastards still refuse to come in, then they can just wait for them to take away the ‘Abyss Divine Tablet fragment’. When the time comes, they can still severely damage Luo Wangshu and his disciple and make them lose the trust of the East Abyss.

However, after these mages left, the expressions of Vice President Brown and the leader of the Shadow Killing Team were extremely strange.

The two exchanged glances with astonished and uncertain eyes.

“What’s going on?” the Purgatory Prince’s brow furrowed. “Speak! Has there been some kind of incident?”

“My subordinate used quantum communication to tell me that Luo Wangshu has already snatched back the fragment of the Abyss Divine Tablet belonging to their East Continent from the hands of the Demon Sect’s King Ming.”

The leader of the Shadow Killing Team spoke while soaring forward, arriving in front of the surveillance footage to operate it.

Using the replay function, it took only a moment for everyone to see Luo Wangshu holding up the Divine Tablet fragment, standing in the cavern.

The Purgatory Prince was exceedingly familiar with the appearance of this fragment; because not long ago, he had someone create an identical copy using a large Root Stone.

At this moment, as he watched the projected video, his entire body froze in place.

It wasn’t until after three full breaths that the Purgatory Prince suddenly let out a bestial roar, ferociously kicking a heavy machine next to him. This high-tech situation awareness device shattered into pieces from the impact.

Qi Wuji’s heart was extremely troubled. After all the hustle, not only did they lose so many Demons, but Qi Wuji himself had also lost several of his old subordinates, and yet they gained nothing in the end.

Vice President Brown’s face was as dark as the depths of water.

The current situation had completely spiraled out of his control and expectations. Luo Wangshu actually got the East Continent’s fragment of the Abyss Divine Tablet?

Is that King Ming from the Demon Sect an idiot? To just hand over the Divine Tablet fragment to Lin Hao, making all their long-prepared and costly scheming go down the drain!

Beyond Vice President Brown’s fury, he noticed another possibility.

Since Luo Wangshu snatched a fragment from King Ming, does that mean the other two pieces are still in this fool’s hands?

And this King Ming, has his battle power declined to this extent?

※※※※

A moment later, outside the abandoned mine, Cui Peipei and Zong Xiushan both sensed the faint ‘Purgatory Light’ erupting from inside the mine.

This ‘Purgatory Light’ was so weak that most Martial Cultivators could not detect it, but it meant that the Purgatory Demons had already pierced through the Sky Pool Passage, enabling them to escape from the Sky Pool with the Divine Tablet fragment.

This realization tightened both their minds, making them restless.

Cui Peipei wondered what exactly was happening down there?

She could confirm that this event was a trap set by the Purgatory side for Lin Hao and his disciple.

To thwart the peace talks between the Great Song and the Earth Federation, they did not hesitate to use the Divine Tablet fragment they had obtained to lure the master and disciple into play.

Therefore, before they succeeded, they should not retreat so easily.

But Cui Peipei was still very anxious and unsettled.

What if those Demons felt there was no hope and just withdrew like that?

She had just sensed a massive burst of elemental power and scattered Astral Force from inside the mine, which must mean that an intense and high-level battle had taken place there.

She still didn’t know the outcome of the battle, who won or who lost.

Cui Peipei could only judge that the location of the battle broke out very close to the mouth of the mine!

Are Luo Wangshu and his disciple so incompetent? It took so long, and yet they only progressed less than five hundred yards below?

It was at this moment that Cui Peipei saw Luo Wangshu and Lin Hao, along with a group of Great Song’s Eighth Realms and Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators, retreating from the mine.

Cui Peipei was stunned for a moment, wondering why these people were pulling out. Aren’t they searching for the Divine Tablet anymore?

Cui Peipei then noticed the black stone Luo Wangshu was holding, and her eyes suddenly narrowed.

That was actually a piece of the Abyss Divine Tablet! It was one of the three pieces snatched by Elder Wan Xin at the Divine Palace a few months ago!
