Chapter 497: Almighty Crownless’ Honorable Presence
Zhao Wuming was stupefied. He never encountered such a thing in his thousand years of living.
“Who the heck are you?”
Chen Ming chuckled, “The story from before wasn’t bad, I loved it.”
Zhao Wuming only now reacted, “Y-you’re Faceless’ Blades?”
Chen Ming held Nine Year Cicada, “Get ready, here I come. If I kill you in one hit, it might not be considered an open win!”
Zhao Wuming looked at his new gear and thought of the awesome pills, Nothing’s wrong with them. “Are you insane? Why buff me to peak condition and then fight me?”
“I issued the challenge, but since you can’t cope with the facts, that’s your problem.”
Chen Ming’s Allheaven Stellar Array rose up from behind and crushed the tavern flat. Despite such obvious ruckus, the place was quiet thanks to Duan Shou’s perfect implementation of his task.
Chen Ming felt the star’s will through his link.
Zhao Wuming smiled, “I am a Heavenly Court’s Gold Immortal and even though not much compared to others, I still have what it takes to control a star. This is my world!”
He never recovered from shock as he felt his control slipping away. The star’s power was focusing on his enemy’s black blade.
“What’s going on?”
Chen Ming flashed his sparkling eyes open, “Everywhere I go, stars shimmer for me!”
Chen Ming fueled his blade with Sword Soul and executed Hegemonic Immortal Sword, aiming for the head.
Zhao Wuming lifted his sword, but the array slowed his reaction. This delay was deadly in a high-level battle such as this.
Their weapon clashed, with sparks and a boom.
This was Zhao Wuming’s first encounter with Chen Ming. He was clueless that his opponent would use a hegemonic sword and his weapon flew from his grip.
Zhao Wuming’s hand couldn’t stop shaking, “Incredible hegemonic sword!”
Chen Ming snickered, “Heavenly Court’s Gold Immortals are indeed a bargain. One average move and their out!”
He scanned him and found Zhao Wuming’s danger value was beneath his. A Heavenly Court’s Gold Immortal had a fixed value of a hundred thousand. Thanks to his connection with the star, he had the danger value advantage.
Chen Ming didn’t even need the Decree of Untold Daos Aura.
Trice Hegemonic Immortal Sword!
The strikes swooped in with tyrannical power, surpassing Zhao Wuming’s reaction with its increased speed. His first blade aimed for the neck, but a top armor made from Yan Mountain was truly something as it kept Zhao Wuming’s life and left but a small gap.
“Yan Mountain’s forging might be a tad excessive.”
Chen Ming’s second hit made use of it and shattered the armor on his neck.
His third attack sent a head rolling around.
Chen Ming rested his foot on it and flipped the grip on his blade as it pierced the skull.
The soul vanished, swallowed by the Nine Year Cicada.
But then a girl started cracking jokes, “What a professional. It hasn’t been two decades yet and you have such power.”
Chen Ming found the voice familiar. She was the black woman who invited him into Crownless Assembly.
Chen Ming saw her smiling and clapping, “Nice and clean!”
He was confused, “What, did I do it wrong?”
She chuckled, “Did you forget? The Domains have Trees of Martyrs. You tell me, what can dissipate a dead Gold Immortal’s soul if not a soul weapon? Is there another one besides your Nine Year Cicada in the four Domains?
“In other words, you’re exposed.”
Chen Ming turned to her, “You didn’t come to tell me this, did you?”
She smiled, “FIguring out your intention, Almighty Crownless came to see you.”
Chen Ming’s heartbeat spiked, Almighty Crownless?
The strongest in the Galaxy, the supreme leader beneath heaven, one whose power wasn’t far from it, came to see him?
What to do, what do I do now that he’s here?
Now he understood why the Crownless Assembly with its civil war grew to such power. The Almighty Crownless knew everyone’s names.
The woman chuckled, “Come, you can’t be thinking of running away, no?”
Chen Ming braced himself as he walked behind her.
It was now that the outside detected the fight and sent a patrol. They rushed here and saw a man with a Faceless mask standing at the gates. Duan Shou asked them, “Is there a problem?”
The team leader stammered, Crap! An honest to god patrol like me met a Faceless! “We are chasing a bandit. Have you seen any suspicious characters?”
Duan Shou shook his head, “Nope, none here.”
The team leader nodded repeatedly, “So it’s not here. Then we’ll search elsewhere. Withdraw, brothers!”
He took his team away as they left a trail of sweat.
Chen Ming was wracked with anxiety as he followed the woman, Blast it! How did he set his eyes on me? My identity is exposed!
They arrived at a simple carriage and the woman said, “Almighty Crownless’ legs aren’t well, please step inside.”
Chen Ming watched the flap of the carriage, Inside is the Almighty Crownless that pressured the entire Galaxy for ten thousand years?
Crownless thought of wearing his mask but soon found it pointless.
He stepped in with careful movements and met a kind grandpa. Almighty Crownless sat smiling on a soft bed and patted the place next to him, “Sit here.”
