Chapter 1244: Kings Confront

When the giant pit was created in the middle of Abyssal City, crevices extended in all directions like giant pythons, swallowing up all of the buildings in the surrounding area.

The whole city fell into chaos.

Many of the Dukes had flown into the sky. They swallowed their saliva as they stared at the newly created pit. Qin Lian had been struck so hard that her entire body was smashed to the point her bones could be seen.

She was an eighth-grade Duke, someone who could easily hold her ground regardless of where she was in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. Yet Li Jingzhe had injured her with utmost ease.

A Dual Crowned King was truly terrifying. Qin Lian had already lost control of her body. She could sense the excruciating pain coming from her limbs and bones. Her expression was twisted with pain. Li Jingzhe's casual blow carried the power of a King, which made it extremely hard for her body to recover. All she could do right now was lie there motionless.

If Li Jingzhe struck yet again, it would surely be fatal.

When Qin Lian realized this, overwhelming fear appeared in her eyes.

Li Jingzhe shot her an indifferent look. Then he looked towards the void in front of him and said, "Qin Jiujie, you're finally here."

"Li Jingzhe, you're acting out of hand."

In the next instant, a husky, furious voice reverberated in the air. As the voice echoed, everyone in Abyssal City could see the sky crack open, and a figure walked out.

This person was muscular and handsome. Mystical runes could be seen on his face and even around his eyes. As a result, he seemed truly enigmatic.

On his head were two precious crowns radiating the almighty power of a King.

This was yet another Dual Crowned King!

"We pay our respects to the Grand Palace Master!"

All the elites from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin knelt down respectfully as soon as they saw the man. They were elated to see him appear in Abyssal City.

This man was none other than Qin Jiujie, the leader of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin.

Other than their Ancestor, Heavenly Emperor Qin, who had not been seen for years, Qin Jiujie was the one that held the most power in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin.

Li Jingzhe looked back at Qin Jiujie and said, "I told you before. The grudges from the previous generation will stay with the previous generation. Did you think I was a pushover because I haven't been stepping out of my house?"

Qin Jiujie replied calmly, "Li Jingzhe, you have no evidence that the ambush was done by Qin Lian. If you malign the juniors like this, aren't you breaking the rules? Besides, no matter what grudges Qin Lian has with Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan, there is no need for her to involve herself with a brat that is not even Duke, right? Not only would doing so make her look bad, she would not be able to vent any of her frustration at all."

Li Jingzhe stared back at Qin Jiujie. He replied slowly, "Which is why I am also curious, why is she going after my grandson?"

Qin Jiujie shook his head. "You're being unreasonable."

"I have already told you, I am not here to reason with you."

"Then what are you here for?" Qin Jiujie frowned as he asked.

Li Jingzhe gave a light grin. "For... a fight."

The eyes of Qin Jiujie narrowed immediately. "You have vented your anger and I have come out personally. What more do you want?"

What Li Jingzhe said next sent a chill up everyone's spines. "Why do you think I'd spend half a day toying with her otherwise? Did you really think I'd come here for a junior like her?"

His voice resounded throughout Abyssal City. All the elites were dumbfounded.

Li Jingzhe had not come solely for Qin Lian? In that case, was his goal to fight with Qin Jiujie?!

Everyone took a deep breath. The Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Fang Lineage was simply too domineering.

Everyone thought that he had come to Abyssal City simply to punish Qin Lian. He would then force the King from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin to appear and that would be the end of things.

However, Li Jingzhe was never here for her. His true goal was to wait for Qin Jiujie to appear!

Qin Jiujie's eyes turned dark at this point. "Li Jingzhe, are you trying to start a war between our bloodlines? I think the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao will be elated to see this happening."

The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li and the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao had always been at odds with each other due to the huge borders they shared. Over the years, countless wars had broken out between them. Their grudges ran deep, and it was one of the main reasons the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li had decided to take a step back during the incident with Li Taixuan.

Yet Li Jingzhe was trying to start a fight with the Grand Palace Master of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin right now?

"She's not enough to be an example for others. In that case, I can only use you," Li Jingzhe replied calmly.

Hearing this, the cunning Qin Jiujie couldn't help but laugh angrily. "All this just for Li Luo? You're willing to take on such a big risk for him? Li Jingzhe, have you turned into a senile fool?"

Clearly, Li Jingzhe had come precisely to escalate the situation. At the same time, he was sending a message to everyone else that they shouldn't even think about bullying his grandson.

This was a truly unexpected development, given Li Jingzhe's status.

It seemed he was a little too overprotective of his family.

Years ago, he had not protectedLi Taixuan like this.

Perhaps it was the lingering guilt that caused him to act like this for Li Luo?

"Back then, I forced myself to take a step back. I gave you guys an inch, but you ended up taking a mile. Taixuan left the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent with his wife. Now that his son is finally back with the Dragon's Fang Lineage, I won't let any of you touch him. Forget you, Qin Jiujie—even if Heavenly Emperor Qin himself appeared, I would not back down!"

Li Jingzhe's indifferent voice rang far and wide. The rules had been clearly set. If anyone dared to break them, he would hold no punches.

If they wanted to play, he would go all out. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jingzhe raised the ordinary-looking bamboo staff in his hand. The two crowns on his head turned into an endless, clear stream of air that surrounded the bamboo staff.

"It's been a long time since I've truly acted. Perhaps the world has forgotten about my treasured Kingslayer Staff. There is a reason for why it's been named such. When I first entered the King Stage, a King fell before it."

Li Jingzhe's face turned solemn. He waved his staff, and the sky appeared to be split in half. Torrents of worldly natural energy gathered up and transformed into tiny runes that dotted the full length of the staff.

The weapon was only a few feet long, yet all the elites in Abyssal City were taken aback at that moment. All of a sudden, a manifestation of the staff cast a shadow that enveloped them all

The Black Water Divine Formation that had enveloped the whole city began to vibrate violently, and faint cracks started to form all over it.

This was unimaginable. If this defensive ward wasn't around, the presence of the staff might have flattened the whole city in an instant.

Was this the true power of a Dual Crowned King?

An apocalyptic power that could completely devastate the land?

As all of them were still stunned by its appearance, the staff descended straight towards Qin Jiujie, full of murderous intent.
