Chapter 390: Blood Kiss Moonlight And Ten Thousand Ancient Weapons Grave

The Star Maidens who succeeded Star Names were each outstanding beauties, but seven Star Maidens among them were beautiful enough to overturn countries, making Star Generals all envy them.

These seven Star Generals in Star World all had the nickname of "Seven Beauties."

The Bright Beauty of the Sun, "Wife Of The Hegemon King" Yu Ji, was considered the most famous of them, but not only because of her identity. The fact that she was the woman clasped in the palm of Hegemon King Of Western Chu Xiang Yu was another reason.

With the identities of the "King Of Bronze" Yu Ziqi and "Wife Of The Hegemon King" Yu Ji revealed, a heavy atmosphere spread throughout the hall.

The people from the Wang Clan of Langya and the Lü Clan Spring and Autumn all retracted their relaxed expressions and stared intently at the two women.

Chen Mo also looked at the two girls curiously. Because of their relation to King Of Extinguished Ashes Zhongli Mo, he actually had no hostility towards them at all. From a certain perspective, they could even be considered allies. However, he remembered that the Yu Ziqi of history was a fabricated character, and in the Record of the Grand Historian's entry on Xiang Yu, there was merely mention of her as "Yu the Beauty." However, Xiang Yu lamented in the Song of Gaixia, "When Zhui runs no more, what then can I do! Ah, Yu, my Yu, what will your fate be," so she was not considered completely fictional.

Yu Ziyu's pupils were slender, her stance like a copper cauldron, upright and immovable.

Yu Ji's beauty made the entire dark and gloomy hall brilliant, as if a sun had rose here.

"You can insert the Fire Origin Pearl. I have important matters to attend to, and I have no interest in confrontation with you." Yu Ziyu calmly said.

Chen Mo thought to himself that she was Zhongli Mo's friend, anyways. Indifferent, he was prepared to place the Fire Origin Pearl. However, in the others' eyes, they believed he feared the King Of Copper's fame. Lady Wei stopped him: "Young Lord Chen Mo, you must not. You cannot insert the Fire Origin Pearl right now."

"Hm?" Yu Ziyu's eyes narrowed into thin slits.

"Not for the time being." Huang Tingjian also stood in front of Chen Mo, a protective stance.

"What are you all doing?" Yu Ji twitched her mouth: "We all only came to take a look, how can we if we don't do this? My big sister was but the first to put in the Water Origin Pearl."

Wang Xianzhi and Lü Meng glanced at each other. Wang Xianzhi cupped her fist and gracefully said: "Safety be upon you, King Of Bronze, and greetings."

"Save the pleasantries, I have no interest in opposing you." Yu Ziyu apathetically answered.

Wang Xianzhi smiled: "Everyone in Star World knows of Hegemon King Xiang Yu's Star Name. Back then, she was also a powerful opponent for the Purple Rose Star Emperor. Although she slit her own throat at the Wu River, she nevertheless left behind the glow of a hero for the ages. Now that Xiang Yu has reappeared, I fear this Star World will not be too peaceful."

"En, back then, Xiang Yu was ever victorious in all her battles. Even the Ancestral Dragon was helpless against her. She raised a reign of terror in Star World, and Her Excellency's Five Generals also rulers in their own right. Presently, Xiang Yu's Star Name has been reborn and wants to reproduce her glory. I fear the Central Star Field will not agree." Lü Meng slightly smiled.

"Your point." The King Of Bronze coldly asked.

"Xiang Yu's Innate Skill is also Hegemon King. No one in this world can make her submit. Back then, the Purple Rose Star Emperor was her lifelong nemesis. In the end, she cut her throat when she was defeated, leading to the current situation."

"Even our Star Names are very impressed with the Hegemon King's fame."

"Is that so? If you wish to join Her Excellency Xiang Yu, only this would count as genuine admiration." Yu Ji added.

Wang Xianzhi smiled and spoke with an easygoing tone: "Of course, if she was the Xiang Yu from a thousand years ago, the Wang Clan of Langya indeed would consider it. But right now, things are completely different."

"And then?" The King Of Bronze fiddled with the ring on her thumb, her tone faintly becoming more and more cold.

"Xiang Yu wants to mount a return, but the Central Star Field will not wait and listen." Lady Wei waved her sleeve, speaking bluntly: "Currently, the Central Star Field has already issued a decree that the one able to take Xiang Yu's head shall be enfeoffed as the Seventeenth Star Marquis, and those able to take the heads of the Five Great Generals shall be rewarded generously."

"Yu Ziqi, you should be resigned. The Star World of today is already no longer the Hegemon King's world." Lü Meng pondered. She still kindly said: "The Lü Clan Spring and Autumn does not wish to become enemies with the Hegemon King. Leave the underground palace right now, and we will no longer bother about this matter."

"And does the Wang Clan of Langya feel the same?" Yu Ziqi looked at Wang Xianzhi.

Wang Xianzhi's gaze was grave, yet she did not hesitate to nod: "Yes. We absolutely cannot allow the Five Emperors Seal to fall into Xiang Yu's hands. Otherwise, all the common people will be in peril. Star World would fall apart once again. This is not something our Wang Clan wishes to see."

"You crowd of pissants. If you want to keep the Five Emperors Seal to yourselves, just be honest. What is this bullshit about commoners, this is truly ridiculous to the extreme. Your Wang Clan numbers in the millions, and the Star Generals you've killed are also in the tens of thousands." Yu Ji shouted. The woman was beautiful, and her nature was also outspoken.

"As expected of the Wife Of The Hegemon King, you possess the Hegemon King's mettle." Lady Wei lauded her.

"Let me think." Yu Ziqi wrinkled her brow and sunk into contemplation.

"Sister." Yu Ji was displeased.

All of a sudden, a cold wind pounced towards Chen Mo. Yu Ziqi's hand grabbed at Chen Mo, and a powerful astral wind practically froze space.

The other women already foresaw this.

"No matter what, we cannot let Xiang Yu's people obtain the Five Emperors Seal. Everyone, let us kill them first. Then, we can discuss." Lady Wei shouted. The twelve White Horse Cavalry at her side adopted a protective formation.

Chen Mo did not expect that Yu Ziqi's first move would be to kill him. The formidable Heavenly Star's energy restrained his limbs. Even Huang Tingjian, who had been protecting him, vomited blood as she was sent flying away.

"Sister." Yu Ji screamed in distress when she saw her elder sister wanted to kill Chen Mo.

Yu Ziqi was aloof. So long as she killed Chen Mo and obtained the Fire Origin Pearl, everything would be beneficial to her. Once the Five Emperors Seal appeared, she had absolute confidence she could obtain it.

"Look out." Huang Tingjian was jolted aside, vomiting blood.

At this time, ten darts suddenly flickered, becoming a purple downpour that fell towards Yu Ziqi.

Yu Ziqi could only retract her hand. She attacked with a palm strike, completely scattering the purple rain of darts.

"Go."

Chen Mo heard a clear voice and smelled a particular perfume behind him. Wang Yuanji descended from nearby, the "Winding Stream Dragonfly" Star Weapons between her fingers became one. She did not know what Chen Mo's powers were, but she knew that an Earthly Immortal cultivator could not possibly contend against the King Of Bronze. She immediately grabbed Chen Mo's clothes and pulled him away.

Yu Ziqi missed and was about to pursue.

Lü Meng, Wang Xianzhi, Wang Dun, and Lü Yu already attacked.

Hero Slayer Dark Rank: Broken Majesty¹

Double Brush Dark Rank: One Inkstick Brings Water²

Axe Dark Rank: Wild Wind Furious Slash³

Sword Chant, Five Elements True Thunder.

Four great Dark Techniques were used without any restraint.⁴ The Star Crests on the foreheads of the three women glowed as they practically used full power. Killing Xiang Yu's Great General King Of Bronze could net them powerful Star Energy, a prize not inferior to the Five Emperors Seal. Everyone naturally was unwilling to let this slip by. Furthermore, presenting Yu Ziqi's head (Star Weapon)⁵ to the Central Star Field could also grant them significant rewards.

Yu Ziqi spun around, her hand breaking space. Around her body, swords, sabers, axes, halberds, spears and other weapons manifested in great numbers.⁶

Each weapon was forged from bronze, sparkling and dazzling, extremely gorgeous.

"Dark Rank: Scatter!"

All of the Dark Ranks assaulted Yu Ziqi's surroundings, and every single one of her weapons resonated, emitting powerful bronze-colored light. The sabers, swords, axes, and other weapons inconceivably cut down the teamwork of the four.

The hall quaked.

Lü Meng, Wang Xianzhi, Wang Dun, and Lü Yu each retreated, showing grave expressions as they looked at King Of Bronze Yu Ziqi's weapons.

Those bronze blades whirled around the woman, their killing intent surging.

"Ten Thousand Ancient Weapons Grave!"

"What a good technique. Legend says that the King Of Bronze is not only a fierce general, but she is also an adept of the Jiang Clan. All weapons in the world have died and revived in your hands." Wang Xianzhi discerned the woman's Star Weapon and took a deep breath.

Her Excellency Xiang Yu's Five Generals were known according to the Five Elements. Among them, "metal" corresponded to Yu Ziqi, the "King Of Bronze." Metal represented weapons, the metal element, and among the Five Great Generals, Yu Ziqi could be rated as the strongest.

"If you want to die, I will oblige you." Yu Ziyu's hand moved. She seized a greatsword from out of thin air and slashed.

Sword-light was unleashed with the power to cleave mountains.

The four all evaded.

Yu Ziyu then drew a spear with her left hand. Sweeping it, chilling spear-light descended like a storm, its power unblockable. The woman took another step, ad her hand swiftly grabbed and slashed with a long saber. Then, she used an axe, a halberd, and other weapons.

The speeds of her hands left a multitude of afterimages, as if she had six arms. The weapons of the Ten Thousand Ancient Weapons Grave were actually used in its entirety within a single breath. Each weapon was keen, emitting a sharp, terrifying killing intent.

Lü Meng, Wang Dun, and Wang Xianzhi were actually beaten back step by step, unable to counterattack.

While Yu Ziyu faced off in a one versus four, her little sister Yu Ji also understood tacitly that she was buying time. Although Yu Ji was reluctant to leave, for the sake of the Hegemon King, Yu Ji would also sacrifice her own life.

The girl instantly leapt in front of Chen Mo. The Star Weapon in her hand was an ornate sickle. At this moment, the sunset color upon the sickle dispersed, revealing the sickle's perfect form. The blade was like the moon, its hilt like the tail of a comet. She had a goddess' bearing.

Six bright, flowing stars were particularly eye-catching.

Blood Kiss Moonlight!⁷

"Chen Mo, this time, Gewu⁸ will use all her might. Can you just give that Fire Origin Pearl to me?" Yu Gewu's expression was pitiful.

Chen Mo was nearly taken in.

"Yu Ji, stop wasting your breath." Wang Yuanji stood in front of Chen Mo. Her fingers fluttered, and the Winding Stream Dragonfly darts flew forth.

Cold light like a waterline.

Yu Ji brandished her scythe. She slashed, and the girl's figure moved like a blossoming sunrise.

She had a Six Star Destined Weapon, and her Star Energy was comparable to a Heavenly Star's. Deflecting Wang Yuanji's weapons was easy.

Wang Yuanji was capable of only darts, and she had no close range capabilities. Seeing Yu Ji close the distance, she hastily stepped back, but she collided with Chen Mo's chest. Her body nearly collapsed against this man's chest that was sturdier and stronger than she had imagined.

"Hurry and hide." Wang Yuanji yelled as she threw her darts.

Another Dark Rank: Black Light Ice Shiver.⁹

The darts manifested a cold-qi, becoming countless starlights that entangled the sunrise clouds.

Chen Mo hesitated. This situation was honestly terrible through and through. He could not easily help, yet not helping was also bad. Seeing Lady Wei off to the side, his heart generally felt unhappy.

Huang Tingjian slightly recovered from her injuries at this time and attacked to alleviate the pressure on Wang Yuanji.

"Chen Mo, withdraw." Huang Tingjian glanced at him.

Chen Mo knew intuitively that the Misty Rain Sojourner was making him preserve his strength, to wait until both sides were injured before he became the one who got the snipe and clam. Chen Mo thought about it. Indeed, this was good, but seeing that Wang Yuanji was apparently no match yet move to protect him like this, his finger poked the girl's back and imbued her with a bit of the Black Turtle's True Qi.

Wang Yuanji's body suddenly shook. The girl's apathetic gaze instantly was like gentle waters as she looked at Chen Mo in shock.
