Chapter 1424: Killing
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“D*mn you all!” Han Sen gritted his teeth.
Han Sen allowed the spirits to hear what Luo Lan said because he wished for them
all to understand why he was going to annihilate them. He wanted them to know that
what was coming was deserved.
Although Luo Lan had not yet been hurt, it didn’t take much intellect to envision what
might have happened to her if Han Sen hadn’t been able to come back.
Han Sen walked in front of No G.o.d Emperor, and as he did, everyone’s eyesight was
returned. But they could not move and they could not speak.
Han Sen coldly told the emperor, “No G.o.d, d.a.m.n you. For your latest transgression
against humans, I’m going to kill you. Forever.”
No G.o.d Emperor was given the ability to speak, but he balked in Han Sen’s face by
saying, “So what if you kill me? I can resp.a.w.n. I don’t think you can stay in the Third
G.o.d’s Sanctuary for long. One of these days, I’ll kill them all.”
No G.o.d Emperor rebuking Han Sen actually inspired the other spirits with more
courage. It was true that Han Sen could not keep returning on a whim, and dead
spirits didn’t stay dead as long as their spirit stones were fine. They had more
chances in the future, that was for sure.
“You’re telling me you’ll try this again? Is that right?” Han Sen coldly said. “Zero; do
your thing.”
Zero swung her Bone Dagger without being inhibited. She was targeting No G.o.d
Emperor, whose movement had been restricted.
The dagger punched neatly into the temple of his forehead, and after that occurred,
No G.o.d Emperor’s face looked distraught.
Pang!
No G.o.d Emperor’s body shattered like gla.s.s, and so did his spirit stone, wherever it
was.
That newfound courage in the spirits dissipated, after that. They knew what had
happened to No G.o.d Emperor, and they feared the same happening to them. They
tried to suicide in an attempt to escape, but Han Sen had stolen their ability to do so.
Han Sen walked before Ruin Emperor next, and then, he gestured for Zero to cut his
entire head off. He wasn’t even given the opportunity to speak.
One by one, Han Sen and Zero walked to each emperor spirit and had each of them
beheaded. The terror of those in-line was tangible.
Han Sen was planning to see to it that each spirit was killed, but the army was large,
and he had little time left there. He could feel the tug of the portal beckoning his
return to the Fourth G.o.d’s Sanctuary.
Demi-G.o.ds were not supposed to reside in the Third G.o.d’s Sanctuary, and it was
actually dangerous for them to stay there long. He would have to take his leave very
soon.
And he now understood why Night Empress had to leave so swiftly. The pressure of
keeping his stay in the Third G.o.d’s Sanctuary was slowly becoming unbearable, and
it was highly likely that his body could be ruined by remaining there for long.
“I’ll give the rest of you one last chance to make this work. If I need to come knocking
again, I won’t be showing any mercy; and neither will there be any theatrics.” Han
Sen gestured with his hand and made all the spirits explode. Those he did this to
returned to their spirit stones to lick their wounds.
Han Sen did not kill any of the creatures there. His beef was with the spirits, more
than anything, and he knew the rest of his companions could deal with the creatures
just fine.
He let loose his grip on them, and as soon as they regained control of their limbs, the
creatures tried taking off. They scrambled as best they could to get away.
They were so frightened after what had happened. Creatures couldn’t resp.a.w.n like
spirits could, after all. They sure wished they could run faster, though.
The only person Han Sen had left alive was Sky King. He was planning on
interrogating that sickly emperor, as there was much he wanted to learn before he
departed.
Qing Jun was his daughter, too; as much as Han Sen despised Sky King, he didn’t
think it was very nice to have her father brutally murdered in front of her, deserving or
no.
“Demi-G.o.ds are so strong! Whoa, it looks like I should strive for a promotion.” Xie
Qing King laughed.
“Haha! If you’re interested, I can take you back with me. But… not ascending through
the fires could inhibit you further down the line, and you may struggle. Becoming a
G.o.d will later become extremely difficult,” Han Sen said.
“Understood! From this point on, I will strive to become a demi-G.o.d the proper way.
Where’s the fun in taking a shortcut,” Xie Qing King said.
Han Sen asked Dry Bone King and Water Fairy, “I have explained the situation, but if
you still want to come, you may. Does anyone want to become a demi-G.o.d, any of
you can come with me?”
Han Sen expected some of them to return with him, but surprisingly, none chose to
come. They all looked at each other, and despite wanting to become demi-G.o.ds, they
all agreed that if they were to ascend, they should do it the proper way.
Even s...o...b..ll, who was a bona fide wimp, did not fancy cutting any corners.
Han Sen was an example to them all, too, he later realized. They had seen what Han
Sen was capable of, and they wanted to replicate his success and strength. They
wanted to follow in his footsteps and do things right.
Han Sen rubbed his nose and shook his head and said, “I understand.”
Luo Lan then walked up to Han Sen and provided him with a few items.
She gave him the Cruel Bottle, and even Meowth. He hadn’t taken them with him
when he ascended the Ten Steps of the Holy Door due to the added strain it would
have posed. He was afraid the fire would have incinerated them.
“Thank you. And now, Mom, I should go.” Han Sen’s body was having trouble
remaining in the Third G.o.d’s Sanctuary. He placed Sky King inside the Cruel Bottle
and began walking back.
Han Sen could at least chat with his mother back in the Alliance whenever he wished
to. There was no need to do it there.
Han Sen waved goodbye to everyone and then stepped back into the vortex-like
portal that would take him back to the Fourth G.o.d’s Sanctuary.
Inside the Cruel Bottle, Yaksha, Sky King, and even Meowth were all fine and safe
during their transport.
Han Sen was just going to treat Meowth like a pet, sort of like he always had. He
wasn’t bringing it through to do any fighting.
Many emperors had been slain in the Third G.o.d’s Sanctuary, and with the prospect
of Han Sen possibly returning, none dared to attack the humans again. They could
keep Sky Mountain.
Han Sen returned to the Alliance to be with Ji Yanran shortly after this escapade, as
her due date was incredibly soon. He was very excited to have a son.
There was nothing for him to do in the sanctuary right now, anyway. He could not
take on super creatures, so the best thing he could do was train and practice, which
he oftentimes did in the Alliance.
Ji Ruozhen and his wife had been taking good care of Ji Yanran during the time she
had been pregnant and Han Sen had been absent. And while Luo Lan was
overjoyed she’d soon have a grandson, Han Sen did not fully trust her with the ability
of raising a kid.
The next day, Ji Yanran was taken to the delivery room. Han Sen, Luo Lan, Ji
Ruozhen, and his wife were all waiting outside, eagerly awaiting news.
