Qilin Aurora Slash!

The Yellow Emperor raised her sword, and the absolutely supreme Dark Yellow Sword Qi seemed capable of unleashing a flood. Guo Ziyi used her Phoenix Earth Rank, and she projected a qilin. Her sword-light was also earth-shattering, practically illuminating the underground palace. But under the Yellow Emperor God Slaughtering Seal, the vigorous sword-qi still was unstoppable in breaking the Qilin Aurora Slash.

“You actually can use the legendary Five Emperors Seal?!”

Guo Ziyi was quite surprised to see Chen Mo ward off her Phoenix Earth Rank. The God Of War Made Duke’s eyes lit up, and she very quickly discerned what the ability Chen Mo used actually was.

The sword-qi of five absolute women that left even the power of the Star Names of Star World’s nine thousand Star Fields eating dust, it could only be that Five Emperors Seal that Li Si was said to have left for the Ancestral Dragon.

This seal also once made countless Star Generals all converge upon it, but even the greatest Star Marquis all were aware that controlling it was nothing more than a delusion. Therefore, as time passed, the Connecting Valley’s Five Emperors Seal became legend.

“The Five Emperors Seal? A man like you surprisingly has the Five Emperors Seal!”

Wang Mang and Ran Youli were shocked.

Xiang Yu’s brows rose. The Five Emperors Seal, this was but a terrific ability. Rumor had it that this was an immemorial imperial power of Maiden Mountain, something completely beyond a Star General’s means to control. Just how did this man do it? Xiang Yu was a bit curious. She cast a glance to the stone wall behind her. The seven star mansions were already taking shape.

“This is bad, the Vermilion Bird’s soul is about to emerge. We cannot let Xiang Yu have her way. If she devours the soul, we will die!!” Wang Mang screamed. Her figure warped, and her fingers turned into blades. Phoenix Advent’s divine light moved, as if there was an invisible blade forming over it, directly knocking Chen Mo aside.

If not for her exhausted Star Energy as well as her serious injuries from before, Wang Mang would have already used her Heaven Rank to clean things up.

Rip!

The invisible blade slashed at Chen Mo. Without even looking, Chen Mo drew an arc with his legs, using Carefree True Qi, his body leaving a trail of afterimages. The airflow condensed into a blade, but it was difficult to injure even a strand of his hair.

The wind blade cut nothing, exploding with a crash, unleashing a gust and immediately vanished.

However, Wang Mang’s attack was merely a distraction to give cover for Heavenly King Of Wudao Ran Min. The Heavenly King Of Wudao launched her true attack. Her body rose like a serpent, shrieking with godly and ghostly tears. Her jaw opened wide, and a sinister wind formed a vortex in her mouth as if to devour Xiang Yu.

Bang.

Chen Mo used the Carefree True Qi to instantly cross the distance, and the Northern Dipper Staff was caught by the snake’s jaws.

He then used Saber Draw Water Cutter to directly slice apart its fangs.

Ran Min was repelled, her expression unsightly to the extreme.

All of a sudden, the might of the Four Symbols was about to be unleashed again.

“Look out!” Xiang Yu could not help but shout.

Glancing over, he saw God Of War Made Duke Guo Ziyi was already attacking, surprisingly using another Earth Rank Four Symbols Life Killing Sword.

The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, the Black Turtle floated in water, the Azure Dragon soared through clouds, and the White Tiger crouched down.

Hidden in the sword were the Four Symbols’ transformations, a virtually unstoppable force. 

Her Earth Rank was unleashed, as if containing the favor of the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens. The clear-light was unparalleled. Even Wang Mang and Ran Min had no choice but to evade so as to avoid being affected. “This woman is so strong.” Chen Mo flicked a finger. For the second time in his life, he forcibly used the Five Emperors Seal.

The White Emperor Demon Destroying Seal broke open Four Symbols Life Killing Sword. As expected, the corner of Guo Ziyi’s mouth slightly curled. The Four Symbols sword-qi combined into one, becoming the spirit of the qilin which enveloped Guo Ziyi.

Phoenix Earth Rank: Qilin Aurora Slash!

This Qilin Aurora Slash was even stronger. The Qilin Holy Beast pounced fiercely at Chen Mo, its domineering aura overflowing the heavens.

Oh, fuck. 

Chen Mo was stunned. Then, without even thinking.

The Yellow Emperor God Slaughtering Seal and the Green Emperor Immortal Killing Seal finally managed to barely block it.

“Ziyi’s Phoenix Earth Rank can be used another seven, eight times. Is your Five Emperors Seal also capable of this much usage?” Guo Ziyi faintly grinned. She already discerned the weakness of the Five Emperors Seal.

Every use was extremely taxing on the power of Chen Mo’s soul. This was also his second use, which greatly diminished its might. He had no choice but to use it twice in order to barely contend against her. If not for the sages’ aspirations, he would have already been defeated.

Hearing that Guo Ziyi’s Phoenix Earth Rank was surprisingly still able to be used another seven or eight times, Chen Mo had the will to kill.

God Of War Made Duke was not careless at all. The moment she finished speaking, Qilin Aurora Slash was used again.

Black Emperor Seal, Crimson Emperor Seal.

The Black Emperor and Crimson Emperors brandished their swords to destroy the Phoenix Earth Rank.

Guo Ziyi merely paused for an instant. Her boots stepped on the broken floorboards and gently floated up. Her body seemed to manifest green gem scales, and person and sword became a qilin and slashed. 

Qilin Aurora Slash!!

Forcibly using the Five Emperors Seal once again risked losing the “Five Emperors.” Chen Mo activated the Three Symbols Flying Swords. Their formation was broken through by Guo Ziyi’s Qilin Aurora Slash. The powerful sword-qi fell upon him and tore apart his flesh. Fortunately, the remaining power was not very great, and he withstood it by relying on the Body of the Black Turtle.

Wang Mang and Ran Min saw that Guo Ziyi was stalling Chen Mo, so they immediately moved to kill Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu took a step back, her expression a bit conflicted.

But Chen Mo used the Carefree True Qi to obstruct them again. “Courting death!” Guo Ziyi became a flowing light. Then, the crumbling underground palace displayed an inconceivable scene. Wang Mang, Ran Min, and Guo Ziyi’s attacks could only be described as faster than light. Attack after attack shot towards Xiang Yu with speed faster than the naked eye could perceive.

But amazingly, ten meters in front of Xiang Yu, Chen Mo used the endless Carefree True Qi to urge on the shadow of the Azure Dragon to lay down an invisible barrier. No matter what angle Wang Mang, Ran Min, or Guo Ziyi wanted to kill Xiang Yu from, he used his body to shield her.

The price of blocking the attacks of three top-notch Star Generals was very bitter. Even the Black Turtle True Spirit was already unable to last much longer.

The girl was stunned.

An unprecedented feeling charged through her heart. This was the first time in her life that someone protected her like this.

Before, the Hegemon King Of Western Chu had never known what being weak felt like. In her life, she only crushed everything through the force of her tyrannical power. Even when she was sealed into a Star Spirit by the Purple Rose Star Emperor, she lost with “indomitable” spirit. This time, her circumstances were forced, and she had no choice but to bow her head to another. This humiliation made Xiang Yu itch to eat Chen Mo alive and cut him to bits.

But when she saw with her own eyes this man protect her in spite of the harm to himself, she finally noticed he was sincerely worried about her. The Hegemon King’s stone heart seemed to be mercilessly struck by something, and it softened.

What is going on?

The girl covered her chest; she felt something scalding in it, and her heart seemed about to jump out of it. There was a dull pain.

Pain?!

She, the Hegemon King Of Western Chu, actually was capable of feeling pain?

A tyrannical qi that crushed all under Heaven swelled in Xiang Yu’s body. She had never been so desperate to recover her power.

She wanted power.

The greatest power.

Power that surpassed the path of the warrior, of the king, the tyrant, the soldier, the sage. The path of eternal power.

She did not need another person’s protection, she wanted to crush this man’s protection.

Because her name was – 

Xiang Yu!!

The girl covered her chest as her expression contorted in pain. She fell to a knee and screamed at the heavens in agony. A phoenix’s cry responded to her will. The Ling Guang Seven Stars finally glowed, and the seven Star Mansion Stones hovered into the air, forming an absolutely beautiful and gorgeous divine bird.

In Xiang Yu’s shout, a terrifying might then sucked the Vermilion Bird’s soul into her mouth.

The Vermilion Bird’s soul endlessly struggle in an attempt to break free.

But it was instantly absorbed. Then, something seemed to ignite in Xiang Yu’s body, and her skin turned rosy through and through.

“This is bad, Xiang Yu is refining the Vermilion Bird’s soul!!”

Wang Mang was aghast.

The others ceased their attacks and watched the scene before them with pale expressions. Even God Of War Made Duke Guo Ziyi’s expression changed: “Chen Mo, seize the chance while Xiang Yu has not completely refined the Vermilion Bird. Kill her right now. I do not care what evil intentions you have, but how can the Hegemon King Of Western Chu who faced the Purple Rose Star Emperor without yielding ever be your little sister. She will definitely kill you first once she recovers her power.

Guo Ziyi urged.

“Are your Four Symbols not missing the Vermilion Bird? As matters stand, you can just take the Vermilion Bird, but Xiang Yu must die!” Wang Mang did not care anymore. This man was too tenacious. Tangling with him any further would result in them all dying here.

Events had spiraled out of Chen Mo’s predictions. When he originally recognized Xiang Yu as his little sister, he was confident that he could easily defeat Ran Min and Wang Mang, then seize the Vermilion Bird’s soul and help Xiang Yu recover afterwards. This would be considered to be to everyone’s satisfaction. But halfway through, there was a mishap – Guo Ziyi had caught him a bit unprepared. This woman was powerful beyond comparison. Each and every one of her Phoenix Earth Ranks not only exhausted Chen Mo’s Five Elements Seals, they also practically forced him to nearly use Heaven Rank Three Worlds Split Apart, a stage of indiscriminate destruction.

However, evens o, Chen Mo still held on to the idea of obtaining the Vermilion Bird’s soul.

But now, seeing Xiang Yu had used an inconceivable divine might to forcibly absorb the Ling Guang Seven Stars, Chen Mo was taken aback.

If it was refined by Xiang Yu, the next time he could obtain the Vermilion Bird’s soul would perhaps be in the next Star Era.

Guo Ziyi and the others also were urging Chen Mo to immediately go kill Xiang Yu. They believed that no one could refuse this temptation. Compared to a so-called little sister, a complete Four Symbols was even more important.

Ran Youli’s expression changed. The God Tears stabbed towards Xiang Yu.

Bang.

A spear intercepted her.

“Eta” flickered and became a spear.

“You!!” Ran Youli’s face was covered in frost; she was in disbelief.

Chen Mo was neither sad nor happy, neither angry nor hateful. Carefree True Qi flowed through his meridians, and Zhuangzi seemed to be in his mind instructing him. The “mental emptiness” Realm immediately made Chen Mo get rid of his muddled thoughts and enter a state of pure perfection.

To be unable to assemble the Four Symbols was the consequence of his choice.

Every choice in the world was made in the span of a thought. This instant gave rise to costs that inevitably would need to be accepted, but to make Chen Mo go back on a promise was something he absolutely could not do.

“Be together without being together, or act in tandem without such cooperation.”

Chen Mo calmly said. “I already said, you can only kill her over my dead body.”

“You truly are a buffoon!” Wang Mang was astounded. There was actually someone in the world who could give up on the allure of the unified Four Symbols.

This man was mad!

“Then die.” Wang Mang flew into a rage.

Ran Youli was also overwhelmed with murderous intent.

“Truly a mistaken decision.” Guo Ziyi indicated her regret. She could only ready her Heaven Rank.

“This King feels much the same!”

A tyrannical and cruel voice pierced through. Everyone’s expressions changed.

This is bad.

Guo Ziyi combined her Wa swords. All of a sudden, a fist was already right in front of her. This fist carried power that split Heaven and Earth. God Of War Made Duke felt all of her pores open and cold air rush in.

“Qilin Aurora Slash!” Guo Ziyi forcibly used her Phoenix Earth Rank, but even the qilin, the head of the Four Symbols, was unable to stop this punch.

The woman groaned as the punch went through. Her body was sent shooting through the underground tunnels like a cannonball.

The color drained from Ran Min and Wang Mang’s faces.

The girl’s figure was like a god descended, trampling over the human world.

Her Triple Pupils carried supreme contempt as she looked down on them.

“Back then, even the Purple Rose Star Emperor did not see This Hegemon King’s third face. Your Starfalls shall be very glorious.”

Xiang Yu punched.

The underground palace and the ten thousand li Congealed Dream Mountain Range collapsed.
