Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 503: Chapter 472: I’ll Give You a Cup of Tea’s Time to Escape

WHOOSH—

The wind howled with increasing fury, yet the atmosphere within Celestial Ghost City abruptly froze.

No one could have predicted that while Zuo Qinlong and Dou Shanhe were attacking him together, Chen Che would be the one to steadily gain the upper hand.

Who was Zuo Qinlong?

He was the City Lord who had fought his way up from being one of the Star-Picking Sect’s many sleeper agents to suppress Celestial Ghost Ridge for two hundred years. His Black Dragon Spear rendered him invincible. With his profound True Essence and powerful Physique, even Cultivators of the Same Tier were not necessarily his match.

And that wasn’t to mention the Great Protector, Dou Shanhe, who had been a renowned senior for centuries.

And yet.

They couldn’t suppress Chen Che?

”We...”

Ding Haochuan and the other Golden Core Cultivators stood outside the city walls.

He had just been thinking of sneaking past Celestial Ghost City while the three were fighting, but the scene before him had frightened him to a halt. He’d assumed all the Golden Core Cultivators had been lured to Ghost Mother Peak, leaving the main city’s defenses empty.

He never imagined such a monster was hidden here.

Zhao Shifeng was so shocked his eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head.

’The man had only achieved Core Formation a few years ago. How could he possess such tyrannical strength?’

Returning to the present, Chen Che had used his Gourd and Sword Pill to block the counterattack from Zuo Qinlong and Dou Shanhe, not only shocking everyone in the city but also forcing the two attackers to re-evaluate the Valley Master’s strength.

”Valley Master Chen, you truly hide your strength well.”

Dou Shanhe’s eyes darted around as his mind raced. In that brief moment, a great many thoughts had occurred to him. ”In the battle at Faqian City, Yu Zhen and the others all died by your hand, didn’t they? Duobao plotted against you so fiercely, yet you’re still helping him defend the city.”

”You’re wrong.”

Seeing the other man’s astonishment, Chen Che shook his head slightly. ”I’m not helping Duobao, nor am I helping the Primordial Sect. I am defending my own principles.”

Zuo Qinlong’s eyes narrowed as he sneered, ”Valley Master, having principles that are too lofty isn’t a good thing. It can get you killed.”

”For someone like you, who has already sold out his companions, there are naturally no principles left to speak of.”

Chen Che couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words. He exhaled a breath so dense it was almost tangible, his aura continuing to climb. He shot a quick glance at the two of them. ”If you’re scared, then come at me together. At least you won’t die such a pathetic death!”

”Fine!”

Dou Shanhe laughed in fury. With a point of his hand and a wave of his Mountain and River Fan, a gale swept up houses and earth. The rolling yellow sand formed into a giant beast that charged toward Chen Che once more.

Zuo Qinlong, now aware of Chen Che’s true power, no longer dared to underestimate him and immediately thrust his Long Spear forward.

With a thought, Chen Che sent his Gourd flying upward.

SWOOSH—

Amidst a burst of Spiritual Light, the Gourd’s suction power surged again, enveloping the giant sand beast. Seeing this, Dou Shanhe grinned ferociously. He fanned his Mountain and River Fan with even greater speed. The ground was stripped away inch by inch and swept into the yellow sand, and in the blink of an eye, the beast had grown to over a thousand zhang in size.

This wasn’t a foolish move; on the contrary, it was a display of his vast experience.

Generally speaking, collection-type Magical Artifacts like this one always have a spatial limit. ’It’s impressive that you can absorb things,’ he thought, ’but what will you do when I fill your space in an instant?’

But he never could have imagined that the space inside the Gourd was astonishingly, unimaginably vast. Even after the sand Demon Beast swelled to several times its size, the Gourd still swallowed it in one gulp, and in an instant, it vanished without a trace.

At the same time, Chen Che drew the Ruyi Wind and Thunder Sword from his back with a reverse grip and pointed it forward.

CLANG!

Zuo Qinlong was once again forced back, Long Spear in hand. The webbing between his thumbs and forefingers had split open, dripping with blood.

He had repelled them both again.
