Chapter 709: Chapter 709: The 24 Heroes are the weakest combination I’ve ever led
“Who is that person? He commands such respect from the other twenty-three warriors of the Godho Civilization.”
“That is the leader of the Twenty-four Warriors, Fang Jueyu. I’ve heard his strength is the greatest among the group!”
“Not only that, it’s said the Twenty-four Warriors of the Godho Civilization are very united. A year ago, during a ruin exploration, the other twenty-three warriors all sacrificed themselves to protect Fang Jueyu, which shows his immense authority!”
“Nonsense, if I could live forever too, I could do it as well!”
“You really are still alive!” Liu Qi’s eyes showed more resentment than fear.
“Bansho Ten’in,” Fang Jueyu casually grasped, and Liu Qi, lying on the ground, seemed to be pulled by a powerful force up into the sky.
“Crack!” Fang Jueyu grasped his neck. “Remember what I said? When I returned, I would kill you all, one by one!”
“I’m with Prince Kaiya! If you dare to kill me, Prince Kaiya won’t let you go!” Liu Qi couldn’t help but threaten Fang Jueyu.
“Idiot, do you think I’m here wasting time with you for any reason other than Bernard and the others’ whereabouts?” Fang Jueyu grabbed one of Liu Qi’s arms and casually ripped it off.
“Ah!” Liu Qi screamed; he never thought Fang Jueyu would be so ruthless.
“If you have the guts, kill me!”
“Sorry, I don’t have that kind of capability.” Fang Jueyu smashed Liu Qi’s kneecap with a kick, “I love torturing people; in our Godho Civilization, we have hundreds of types of torture. Maybe you’d like to try them out.”
“No, no, no! I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” Liu Qi finally realized that he was merely a prisoner, with no room to bargain with Fang Jueyu at all.
“Your three companions, they’re in some ruins, receiving an inheritance from a Root Universe civilization.”
“Oh?” Fang Jueyu was somewhat surprised. It seemed he wasn’t the only one benefiting from the Root Universe!
A year earlier, Bernard and the others had been pursued to a glacial canyon, facing a dead end, but they astonishingly found an undeveloped ruin!
The ruin was a dilapidated palace, split into three main halls. Each hall contained the inheritance of a Root Universe civilization, and during their struggle to resist their enemies, the three of them were chosen as inheritors by the ruin!
How could the martial artists chasing them accept that these three from the Tangwu Mountain Universe Realm had taken the inheritance?
But the palace retained some residual power, with a self-protection mechanism sufficient to allow the three to complete the power transfer.
News of the place spread quickly. A ruin’s inheritance—what riches did it hold? No one could resist such temptation!
More and more people swarmed the ruins, now numbering millions of warriors, including highly ranked ones. Even the martial artist named Kaiya was eyeing the inheritance greedily!
While gaining the inheritance was Bernard’s trio’s fate, whether they could protect it depended on their skills. Once they completed the inheritance and left the palace, they’d face a siege from millions of martial artists! Even with extraordinary abilities, escape was improbable.
“Damn it!” Fang Jueyu cursed angrily. They dared to besiege my comrades?
Although Fang Jueyu hadn’t spent much time with the trio, they courageously stood up for him when Scandar Civilization warriors surrounded him, knowing full well the risks. For that reason alone, he had to help them this time!
“Give me the coordinates of the ruins!”
“Hahaha, Fang Jueyu, do you really think your twenty-four could rescue them?” Liu Qi laughed grimly. “You’re strong, but don’t say I didn’t warn you, nearly all the top one hundred from the rankings have gone there. None of their levels are below Divine-level tier three, and the remaining millions are all Divine-level strength!”
“Oh?” Fang Jueyu was somewhat surprised; in previous years, having a few hundred Divine Ability Users appear at the end of the exam was remarkable, but this time there was such a big change!
“Host, the energy in this Root Universe is denser than in typical Secret Realms, and they improve daily through combat, mainly against fierce beasts, naturally advancing quicker.”
“I see,” Fang Jueyu nodded.
“Did you think we only had twenty-four?” Fang Jueyu looked at Liu Qi, suddenly grinning.
“What?” Liu Qi’s expression froze. Could it be that this time, more than just the Twenty-four Warriors had come from the Godho Civilization?
“Oh, and one more thing,” Fang Jueyu tightened his grip, instantly snapping Liu Qi’s neck, “the Twenty-four Warriors are just the weakest group I’ve led, so rest in peace!”
