Chapter 2699 The Determinant Blow
All of them in the area froze, and Fu Qian and the Supremes stopped attacking. The disciples of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance did not strike as they were wary.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
As there were many disciples, they filled up the blood vessel in less than 10 minutes. There were a few hundred thousand of them.
Although the Star Beast’s blood vessel was s.p.a.cious, it could not hold too many people. Thus, many of the disciples were standing far behind.
In actual fact, Fu Qian and the Supremes were facing only a few thousand people. In other words, only a few thousand people were attacking Fu Qian and the Supremes.
It was inconvenient for those who were standing behind to throw out any attacks as they would end up attacking the disciples who were standing in front of them instead of Fu Qian and the Supremes.
That was the Supremes’ strategy. They were cautious and had it well-planned.
“Move aside!”
While they were in a deadlock, someone shouted from the back. The disciples parted to the sides to make way and Ba s.h.i.+yu, Ning Piaoying, and some other disciples hurried forward.
When Fu Qian and the Supremes saw Ba s.h.i.+yu, they looked calm, but a ray of light flashed across their eyes.
Ba s.h.i.+yu was the one they had been waiting for.
Su Mo glanced at Ba s.h.i.+yu and reckoned that he would be the one to kick off a fight.
Su Mo stood quietly among the crowd and waited for an opportunity to strike. He would not take the lead.
At that instant, he noticed Ling Chang standing in another direction and he was relieved to see that Ling Chang was safe and sound.
Soon, Ba s.h.i.+yu came to the forefront and looked at the Supremes before he rested his gaze on Fu Qian.
“Fu Qian, it has been more than 300 years since we last met. I didn’t expect to see you again in such a setting!” Ba s.h.i.+yu said as he smiled coldly. Fu Qian was no stranger to him and, in fact, he was familiar with him.
Back then when he had been moving around to toughen himself up, he had met Fu Qian several times and they had exchanged blows with each other.
As he had possessed greater strength than Fu Qian back then, he had never lost to him in their fights.
“Ba s.h.i.+yu, as a gifted genius, it is not easy for you to remain stagnant!” Fu Qian said disdainfully.
At the same time, he sent a message to the 28 Supremes through thought transmission, saying, “Wait for my instructions and get ready to capture Ba s.h.i.+yu.”
“Fu Qian, shall we wait for Murong Qi and s.h.i.+ Zixuan?” Someone asked.
“No. We have no idea if they are on their way here. We must not miss out on the opportunity. Let’s capture Ba s.h.i.+yu before we decide on our next move.” Fu Qian replied.
Ba s.h.i.+yu was unaware of the Supremes’ scheme and he said, “Fu Qian, I would have advanced to the Supreme Realm if not for my desire to enter the Alliance Headquarters.”
“Hoho! These are just excuses!”
Fu Qian said disdainfully, “Back then, you were slightly better than me, but now you will not be able to take me on for even one round!”
When Ba s.h.i.+yu heard what Fu Qian had said, his face darkened. Fu Qian was right. He had remained as a Supreme Being as he had the desire to become a disciple of the Headquarters.
Currently, he was no match for Fu Qian as Fu Qian had a higher cultivation level than him.
There was a great disparity between being a Supreme and being a Supreme Being. “Presumptuous!”
Ning Piaoying shouted and said, “You have been defeated by Senior Brother Ba and yet you are behaving arrogantly!”
Ning Piaoying was furious. Ba s.h.i.+yu was like a G.o.d to her and she would not allow Fu Qian to insult him.
Fu Qian shrugged and ignored Ning Piaoying. Among the disciples in the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance, Ba s.h.i.+yu was the only one who he was interested in sparring with.
“Fu Qian, you are doomed. What’s there for you to be proud of!”
A voice resounded, and there was a slight fluctuation beside Ba s.h.i.+yu. s.h.i.+ Zixuan, who was well-versed in the Rules of s.p.a.ce, appeared all of a sudden.
Fu Qian’s eyes s.h.i.+mmered. He was glad that s.h.i.+ Zixuan had arrived.
“Get ready. You shall capture s.h.i.+ Zixuan, and I will capture Ba s.h.i.+yu,” Fu Qian immediately informed the rest of the Supremes through thought transmission. Compared to s.h.i.+ Zixuan, Fu Qian felt that it would be easier to deal with Ba s.h.i.+yu although Ba s.h.i.+yu possessed greater strength.
“Alright!” The Supremes replied as they conversed among themselves quietly through thought transmission. “Am I doomed? Hoho! Do you dare to take me on?”
Fu Qian smiled disdainfully and said, “I have captured 1,000 disciples from the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance in my s.p.a.cial Device. I merely have to trigger my thoughts and all of them will be dead. There are 1,000 of them. Can you bear the responsibility?”
When Ba s.h.i.+yu and s.h.i.+ Zixuan heard what Fu Qian had said, their faces turned pale. They immediately asked the disciples about the situation.
They had just arrived and were unaware of the actual situation.
Soon, Ba s.h.i.+yu and s.h.i.+ Zixuan found out from the disciples that many of them were indeed captured by Fu Qian and the Supremes. However, they had no idea how many had been captured “Brother Ba, Brother s.h.i.+, what should we do?”
Many of them asked Ba s.h.i.+yu and s.h.i.+ Zixuan as the two of them were more powerful than the rest of the disciples. Thus, they had to ask the two of them for their opinions.
Ba s.h.i.+yu and s.h.i.+ Zixuan looked gloomy and they were hesitant.
“Gentlemen, I have a suggestion for you!”
Fu Qian spoke suddenly. He and the 28 Supremes had flown forth and they were getting nearer to Ba s.h.i.+yu and s.h.i.+ Zixuan without the people realizing it. “What is it?” Ba s.h.i.+yu, s.h.i.+ Zixuan, and the other disciples asked.
Ba s.h.i.+yu and s.h.i.+ Zixuan were alert. When they saw Fu Qian and the Supremes getting closer to them, they became wary.
However, they were not afraid. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of disciples around and there was no way for Fu Qian and the Supremes to create havoc.
“Very simple. Send someone to inform Tai Ying Sovereign that we would like to negotiate with him!” Fu Qian said.
“You must be kidding! Who are you to negotiate with Tai Ying Sovereign?” Ba s.h.i.+yu said with disdain.
“If you release them, we will not attack you and we shall ask Tai Ying Sovereign to let you off!” s.h.i.+ Zixuan said.
“We can release 500 disciples to show our sincerity while you send someone to inform Tai Ying Sovereign. How about that?” Fu Qian asked.
“Alright!” Ba s.h.i.+yu, s.h.i.+ Zixuan, and the rest of the disciples nodded in agreement.
It would be good enough even if Fu Qian had released only 500 of them.
Fu Qian nodded and waved his hand. A group of people immediately appeared beside him.
However, there were only around 40 of them.
Just as the disciples were looking at the 40 people who had appeared, Fu Qian and the Supremes struck all of a sudden.
Whoos.h.!.+
Fu Qian stretched out his hand to catch hold of Ba s.h.i.+yu.
Suddenly, a Power Source Claw that was about the size of a house moved toward Ba s.h.i.+yu to capture him.
The attack was terrifying. It not only contained great Power Source that had surpa.s.sed that of the ordinary Supreme, but it contained immense power of the Death Rule.
The power of the Death Rule was overbearing. If an ordinary Supreme Being were to come into contact with the aura of the Death Rule, his Primordial Spirit would be injured.
It was rumored that when one had a good grasp of the Death Rule, he could kill all the creatures in a world with his thoughts.
The powerful Claw moved quickly toward Ba s.h.i.+yu and took him by surprise.
At the same time, the rest of the Supremes attacked s.h.i.+ Zixuan, and their speed was as quick as that of Fu Qian.
The Supremes had delegated the tasks. One of them was an expert in the Rules of Gravity, and another was an expert in the Rules of Ice. The two of them had fully activated the power of the Rules at the same time. The powerful gravity and the great sealing power of the ice immediately bound s.h.i.+ Zixuan up.
One of them who possessed great strength stretched out his hand and it turned into an illusory huge hand as it moved toward s.h.i.+ Zixuan to catch hold of him.
As for the other 25 Supremes, they attacked s.h.i.+ Zixuan and those who were beside Ba s.h.i.+yu fiercely. They wanted to prevent the disciples from disrupting their plan to capture Ba s.h.i.+yu and s.h.i.+ Zixuan.
Everything seemed to go as planned.
Their success depended on it!
