Chapter 602: Chapter 282: Is Copper Face the Emperor’s Fall?_2
Several minutes later, Hong Zhuang returned to the hall carrying several Spirit Fruits, placing them next to Li Yelai on the tea table.
“You may leave now,” said Li Yelai. He noticed Qin Zhi’s and Liu Sheng’s gazes had lingered on Little Mad King’s face for a while. Although he didn’t know what had happened, it was still safer for her to leave.
Hong Zhuang nodded and turned away.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhi took out his bargaining chip. The soul well emerged behind him, and a ring-headed knife with a blackwood blade dropped from it.
This was clearly a Grade A Spiritual Ability Equipment.
The moment it appeared, the entire room felt a chilling aura.
Cheng Mei, standing by, changed color. Almost simultaneously, eight elite Church members appeared in the hall, blocking between Li Yelai, and Qin Zhi and Liu Sheng.
They obviously sensed the danger from Qin Zhi.
“Stand down,” Li Yelai spoke calmly, “What a fuss…”
The elite members from Four Awakenings and Fifth Sense, hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved behind Li Yelai.
“Well then, forgive my trespass,” Qin Zhi said with a smile, and then slowly drew the ring-headed knife. The blade was straight with blood-colored patterns spreading across it, resembling a ghostly face.
“Crafted by the master from Giant City, Mo Hai. The knife’s name is Blood Cloud! It possesses the Six Senses Divine Protection Path, Blood Sea Storm!”
Mo Hai? Wasn’t that the buddy of the seventh-generation Champion? Li Yelai’s expression flickered.
The treasure sword of the seventh-generation Champion was crafted by Master Mo Hai.
And Blood Sea Storm was an incredibly destructive ability of the Divine Protection Path.
Its effect was similar to Li Yelai’s Blood Prison Demon Suppression, absorbing blood.
However, unlike Blood Prison Demon Suppression which controlled gravity by transforming into a blood-colored star, Blood Sea Storm created a sea of blood around the user, continuously absorbing blood for both offense and defense.
There was once a Supreme Human in the Divine Protection Path who had transformed countless blood from the battlefield into a river, striking a terrifying blow that made the King of Restricted Zone bleed.
“You actually have a work from Master Mo Hai?” asked Li Yelai, “He seemed to have crafted weapons only for the powerhouses of Giant City.”
“Fortunate acquisition,” Qin Zhi smiled, “Though its power as a Spiritual Ability Equipment is greatly reduced, it can still manipulate the blood to perform Blood Slash. You might want to test it.”
Li Yelai nodded, took the ring-headed knife, and then headed to the underground training ground, where believers fetched two buckets of blood.
Li Yelai plunged the blade into the bucket, and quickly the blade began absorbing the blood, gradually becoming heavier.
Then, Li Yelai raised his hand and cleaved down, a massive Blood Blade extended along the blade and slashed across the ground, leaving a deep mark and easily slicing through a metal block.
“If you were on the battlefield, you could accumulate more blood, and the power would be even greater,” explained Qin Zhi.
This ability actually conflicted somewhat with Blood Prison Demon Suppression—once the ability is used, the accumulated blood would be consumed. It’s not good to use both at the same time. But indeed, it’s a useful weapon on the battlefield.
Moreover, if Li Yelai first used Blood Prison Demon Suppression, then used Blood Sea Storm, it could avoid the issue of waste.
“Good. For us of the Blood God Faction, this indeed is a good item,” said Li Yelai as he sheathed the blade, “I can give you up to four Spirit Fruits, as I don’t have many left.”
“Then I’m much obligated to Lord Di Yun,” Qin Zhi said with a nod.
After receiving the Spirit Fruits, they took their leave.
…
Sitting in the vehicle afterward, Qin Zhi’s smile faded and said, “This time I saw it clearly, that Hong Zhuang is indeed a virgin.”
“So what? Are you trying to suggest there’s something wrong with Hong Zhuang, or with Di Yun?” Liu Sheng shook his head, “You can’t just suspect them because she is a virgin, right? Maybe Emperor’s Fall Divine Chosen has unique tastes? You’ve not been…
Continuing, Liu Sheng looked at Qin Zhi reproachfully, enchantingly beautiful.
“But if Di Yun is normal and yet hasn’t touched that beauty, then it’s worth paying attention to. It’s always good to be cautious,” Qin Zhi said. “Otherwise, I might as well go around saying that Di Yun’s maid is still untouched? That there’s something wrong with Di Yun’s body?”
“After all, Emperor’s Fall Divine Chosen won’t produce a doctor’s note proving his maid is no longer a virgin. They would rather gather the Church’s strong ones and use our heads as a football instead,” Liu Sheng laughed.
“I know, but we still need to be careful. If it weren’t for the fact that Di Yun is Divine Chosen, I’d suspect their identities had issues….”
…
Back in the mansion’s room.
Li Yelai looked astounded at Little Mad King, “This… you can tell from that? What a freak Qin Zhi must be.”
Qin Zhi being so cautious and even judging from appearance… this had indeed become a flaw.
After all, to outsiders, Emperor’s Fall Divine Chosen appeared to dote heavily on Hong Zhuang…
“Indeed, I didn’t expect it… would be this,” Little Mad King mused, then sighed, “See, I told you…”
“Enough, teammates, there’s no need to argue… nor to do anything. This loophole isn’t fatal,” Li Yelai frowned as he spoke, “Moreover, they might not even survive tomorrow.”
Little Mad King nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Li Yelai’s statement.
She knew very well that Li Yelai could sometimes be rather stubborn.
…
The next day at noon, the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One ordered the believers not to disturb his nap and then returned to his room with Hong Zhuang.
Soon after, Li Yelai flipped the coin again.
“Ranger, it’s about time,” Li Yelai reminded.
“Don’t guide the veteran, newbie,” the man responded indifferently.
At that moment, he was sitting under a big tree in the forest, gazing at a distant villa, his large bow resting on his lap.
“Looking forward to your good news,” Li Yelai nodded slightly, retrieved the coin, and changed into a suit, donned the Copper Face, and sat on the sofa, channeling Spiritual Energy into the ark ticket.
Soon, a feeling of weightlessness came, and a bright white light appeared before him.
The next second, he found himself inside the ark.
Beams of light illuminated, gathering the Ark Chosen Ones from around the world once again in the Ark Hall.
Li Yelai first looked at the mural on the wall, saw not much had changed, and then returned to his seat.
When Li Yelai sat down, many Ark Chosen Ones were surprised.
“Copper Face? You reached the Fourth Ring Seat?”
“Fifth Sense? You’ve advanced to Fifth Sense so quickly?”
“You were Third Sense at the meeting three months ago. From Third to Fifth Sense in three months?”
“Did you cheat?”
“No wonder the Book Holder took an interest, Copper Face actually has some skills.”
“Gentlemen, calm down, I just luckily obtained some opportunities,” Li Yelai said with a smile.
If they knew that Li Yelai had only spent a month in the Fourth Sense, they would probably curse very unpleasantly.
Then, Jing Lin also emerged from the white light and took the seat next to Li Yelai.
“Shan Cha also reached Fifth Sense, and entered the Fourth Ring Seat… did you two team up to tackle this challenge?” laughed a powerful figure from the Fourth Ring Seat: “When challenging the Third Ring, consider teaming up with me.”
“You two team up for the challenge and didn’t even invite me? I’m also Fifth Sense,” complained the scholar: “At least let me join in too.”
…
As more and more Ark Chosen Ones arrived in the hall.
Li Yelai saw Wolf Map, as well as Qin Zhi and Liu Sheng, the Black Umbrella’s spot remained naturally vacant.
Strangely, Jin Shan was also absent this time.
Had this Forbidden Zone Supreme missed the assembly?
Could it be like Black Umbrella, someone had taken him down?
That seems unlikely; the Second Ring Seat allows one to physically enter the ark for refuge, even the Disaster Fog can’t touch him.
But… Li Yelai looked towards Qin Zhi and Liu Sheng, these two should finally be unable to escape, right?
Heh…
And Qin Zhi also noticed Li Yelai.
He was surprised that Copper Face, this spokesperson of Golden Armor and a mere Second Awakening kid, could in just half a year reach the same Ring Seat as himself.
But as he carefully observed Li Yelai, a sudden chill ran through him.
Although appearances within the ark were blurred and electors used various physical disguises.
Li Yelai still gave him a familiar feeling.
And… Fifth Sense… recently advanced to Fifth Sense…
The silhouette of Copper Face gradually overlapped with the image of someone.
A bizarre suspicion suddenly emerged in his mind: ‘Copper Face… is Emperor’s Fall?’
