Chapter 384 Clash between Kings!
Chapter 384 Clash between Kings!
'I think it's better to keep it short, Sumari. I've seen through your true colors. Next time we meet, I won't hesitate; I will kill you.'
'And Ruoning, you were directly fatal to me. We've made an enemy of each other. As for Hua Ye, you're only alive because Keisha let you live.'
"Look, there's a Heavenly Gate right in front of you. If you have the guts, come in and find me. Let's settle this face to face."
"By defeating me, Heavenly City could have advanced almost unimpeded; otherwise, even with your million-strong army behind you, you wouldn't have seen a single inch of the Heavenly Court."
After issuing an ultimatum to those enemies, He Xi's voice disappeared.
Only the small, blue-glowing celestial gate remained there.
Meanwhile, Sumari and Ruoning returned to the bow of the Sky Armor IV.
They dared not enter that heavenly gate casually, fearing that someone inside might attack them or that there might be a trap.
Therefore, we still need to discuss whether we should go or not, or how to deal with He Xi if we go.
"Look at He Xi's presence when she appeared; her aura is intimidating."
Hua Ye hadn't expected their decapitation plan to fail, and for a moment he couldn't understand why He Xi just wouldn't die.
His confidence in attacking the Heavenly Court of Melo has now been greatly diminished.
He was really too far behind the times in those 30,000 years.
You seem rather insecure in front of me.
Ruoning, who was sitting on the left side of the sofa, made a joke.
She had just obtained a god-level weapon and was in a good mood.
He didn't give Hua Ye a hard time.
“That’s different. Back then, He Xi was truly amazing, she researched so many things…”
Hua Ye wasn't in the mood to chat with Ruoning.
Just as he was about to praise He Xi for the contributions she had made to him, Su Mali suddenly interrupted him.
"Back then, I was pretty powerful too. I single-handedly killed over a thousand of her people, leaving no one alive."
As she spoke, Sumari stood up from the right side of the sofa and gestured.
He adopted an attitude as if he had rendered meritorious service to Hua Ye.
"Tsk, you know what, look at He Xi now, how come she's so intimidating..."
Hua Ye didn't mind being interrupted by his "favorite general," but he just looked troubled.
"Prince Hua Ye, I think you need to confront He Xi face-to-face to resolve this issue."
Seeing that Hua Ye was having second thoughts, Ruoning decided to encourage him to go and test the waters with his head.
"why?"
Upon learning that the old woman was trying to harm him again, Hua Ye's brows furrowed.
"Let me analyze this for you. You see, your black hole engine is so powerful, but you're just afraid of dying. This fear of death makes you timid in everything you do. When you're timid, your opponent's aura becomes stronger. And you should change that and go face-to-face to defeat He Xi."
Ruoning got up from the sofa and explained a few words to Hua Ye.
After all, apart from Hua Ye, the strongest among their group were the old-fashioned third generation, so they really didn't dare to take any risks.
What if it's a scam?
Hua Ye had already personally resolved the celestial engineering project in the Nine Star Region last time, so he certainly didn't want to take any unnecessary risks now.
He is the king, not a vanguard!
Why should he always be the one to take the lead?
"In your current state, there is no way in the entire Heavenly City to destroy you, so you must go and tell He Xi that you are invincible."
Ruoning continued to encourage Hua Ye, as if it were only natural for the capable to do more.
"So I brought all these soldiers here just to let them watch a show?"
Hua Ye narrowed his eyes, his heart filled with displeasure at this old woman.
"Bringing them along is just for show. Do you really expect these low-level civilizations to put any pressure on the Heavenly Court of Merlo?"
"However, those triangular creatures are quite impressive. They have highly developed brains, and their mental abilities are not necessarily inferior to those of angels."
Ruoning stroked her chin and pondered for a while, seemingly having come up with a way to deal with Fang Hexi.
"you mean…?"
Seeing that Ruoning had an idea, Hua Ye's expression changed slightly.
"Wait a moment, I'll go talk to those triangular prisms."
After saying that, Ruoning entered the wormhole and disappeared at the bow of the Sky Armor IV.
She arrived in front of a triangular body the size of a warship.
With the help of the bio-engine, she quickly and successfully communicated with the triangular body.
The enormous triangular object compressed its body data, transforming itself into the size of a dolphin.
So Ruoning took the shrunken triangular body back to the bow of the Sky Armor IV.
"Hey? How did the discussion go? Is it willing to go?"
When Hua Ye saw Ruoning and the small triangular sphere emerge from the wormhole, he immediately stood up and asked them questions.
"The Triangular Sphere excels at infiltrating the mental realm, and it can freely evolve its physical form. I've given it an order; it will assist you in defeating He Xi."
As she spoke, Ruoning crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Huh? Can't it go by itself?"
Hua Ye was displeased to learn that the triangular prism was only there to assist in the battle.
After all, what he urgently needs right now is a vanguard, not a support role that just helps him score points.
"Tsk, King Hua Ye, theoretically, your fourth-generation divine body cannot be destroyed by any technology other than the giant solar flare and supernova, not even by advanced god-slaying weapons. You don't need to be afraid of He Xi."
Seeing that Hua Ye was cowardly again, Ruoning could only reiterate his claim of being "invincible".
"What if He Xi has this technology? Have you forgotten about the Nine Star Region?"
Hua Ye continued to decline, mainly because he genuinely didn't want to be part of the suicide squad.
"I've already told you that you have my genes in you and won't be killed by high temperatures. Besides, He Xi couldn't possibly have the technology to drive flares and supernovae. Even if she did, she wouldn't use it in Tiancheng. She wouldn't blow up her own home, would she?"
Seeing Hua Ye so cowardly, Ruoning was displeased.
But he still patiently analyzed the situation for him.
"That makes sense, huh? She wouldn't go so far as to blow up Melo just to kill me."
Hua Ye also felt that Ruoning's words made some sense, and nodded inexplicably.
"Then go ahead and defeat He Xi head-on. We'll be waiting for your triumphant return."
Hearing this coward waver, Ruoning decisively urged him on.
"Alright, I'm not going to die anyway. You all wait here for me. I'm off."
After saying that, Hua Ye stood up from the red leather sofa and led the dolphin-sized triangular object to the Heavenly Gate not far away.
Behind the Heavenly Gate was a spatial tunnel, and the black and white light spots scattered in the tunnel made Hua Ye feel a little dazzled.
The scene before him changed after he had only been walking for a short while.
What came into Hua Ye's view was a small European-style palace, with no angels guarding it.
On the throne directly in front of the palace, He Xi sat with her legs crossed.
He looked at Hua Ye and his companion who walked in with disdain.
"I thought you would bring Sumari and Ruoning in with you."
He Xi originally intended to eliminate all the enemy leaders at once, but Hua Ye was the only one who showed up.
This made her feel very sorry.
Hua Ye could certainly hear the contempt in He Xi's words, but he did not directly refute He Xi.
Instead, he carefully searched the surrounding dark energy to make sure that He Xi was the only one there before he felt relieved.
"Can people outside hear us if we speak from here?"
"cannot"
Facing Hua Ye who was walking slowly towards her, He Xi remained calm and composed.
It was as if this scoundrel king posed no threat to her at all.
"Oh, that's good. I was your king for hundreds of years."
Upon learning that the palace was closed, Hua Ye immediately tried to appeal to He Xi's emotions.
Because he truly needs someone like He Xi to serve him.
"I don't remember that happening."
He Xi frowned.
"Tsk, it's probably in..."
"I can't remember, stop here."
He Xi interrupted Hua Ye before he could finish speaking.
"Alright, all I want now is to reclaim the Heavenly Palace. Keisha is dead, and our grudges are tens of thousands of years old. Why suppress us any longer? The future can be even greater, as long as you still acknowledge me as the Angel King."
Hua Ye was not giving up and openly tried to recruit He Xi.
"If you're too scared to fight, go back."
He Xi ruthlessly shattered that idiot king's fantasy.
"Hey, isn't there even any room for negotiation?"
Seeing that He Xi was so stubborn, Hua Ye couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you kidding me? The only king of the Heavenly Court of Merlo right now is the angel Yan."
On the throne, He Xi continued to emphasize that she was irreconcilably opposed to Tian Zha.
"Tch, hehehe, how could it be her? Isn't it you? Then what's the point of me coming here? I might as well just go talk to Angel Yan."
Hua Ye chuckled a few times, seemingly not taking Angel Yan seriously at all.
Who told him to beat that little girl Yan so badly that she abandoned Tianren and ran away?
He was confident he could defeat Keisha's student.
"You're thinking too far ahead, Hua Ye. Right now, the only known Heavenly Court in the universe is the Merlo Heavenly Court. As a branch of the angels, you have no choice but to submit and submit to them in the end."
He Xi narrowed her eyes, her voice carrying an air of irresistible force.
Its aura was no less imposing than that of the Holy Keisha.
"Hiss... When did we male angels become your branch?"
Hearing He Xi's insulting words, Hua Ye couldn't help but frown.
However, at this moment, He Xi stood up from the throne, revealing a face full of majesty.
"You disagree?"
"Well, then it really comes down to fists."
When Hua Ye saw He Xi rise from the throne, he knew that this battle was inevitable.
I felt a little regretful for a moment.
It's a pity that such talent is about to "fall from grace".
"Fists aren't very effective; I plan to solve this with a sword."
As she spoke, He Xi used a micro wormhole to bring her Tianquan.
His face revealed a grim and murderous expression.
"Yes, a sword is a better solution; that's how kings resolve problems."
When Hua Ye saw He Xi take out his weapon, he quickly brought out his God-Slaying Broadsword, also known as the Heavenly Fiend.
It also activated the void engine mounted on the sword guard.
[Startup failed, timestamp error, space error, unable to start engine]
Clearly, He Xi obtained some data about this engine-level god-slaying weapon from Angel Chase.
They then set up a device in this special space to block the signals of the other party's engine.
Hua Ye was somewhat taken aback, but He Xi didn't give him a chance. She raised Tianquan and slashed at Hua Ye!
Hua Ye immediately swung his sword to defend himself.
The first collision between Tianquan and the Godslayer Broadsword generated an invisible shockwave that shattered most of the glass in the palace!
Both of them were forced back more than ten steps by the other's strength.
"Still as powerful as ever, huh?"
Stopping his retreat, Hua Ye decisively retorted sarcastically.
At this moment, He Xi once again thrust her sword at him, and Hua Ye immediately dodged to the side.
After missing his target with his sword, He Xi immediately swung his sword backhand.
Their swords clashed again, sparks flying towards their faces from where the blades met.
He Xi had no intention of fighting Hua Ye. After failing to strike once, she immediately changed her move and slashed at Hua Ye with several sword strikes!
Hua Ye raised his sword to defend, perfectly blocking He Xi's attacks each time.
After several unsuccessful exchanges of blows, He Xi abruptly sheathed her sword, then used her waist to generate power in her calves and feet.
He then unleashed a spinning slash at Hua Ye!
Upon seeing this, Hua Ye immediately jumped to the side to dodge.
Although He Xi's spinning slash missed, she used the opportunity to move to the steps in front of the throne.
Using the steps as leverage, she leaped up and slashed backward.
He directly sent Hua Ye, who had rushed over to launch a sneak attack, flying back more than ten meters!
Even on the smooth floor, Hua Ye left two long shoe prints.
"Huff... Every time I spar with you, I end up in a sorry state... huff... huff..."
Hua Ye, having regained his balance, took a few breaths, clearly weakened by excessive indulgence.
Unfortunately, He Xi wouldn't give him a chance to catch his breath, and once again used Tian Quan to kill him.
The two swords clashed again, but Hua Ye used the force of He Xi's strike to dodge backward.
Although he had distanced himself from He Xi, He Xi sprang towards him in a single step!
The force of that sword strike sent Hua Ye crashing into the palace gate behind him!
Seeing that Hua Ye had made a mistake, He Xi immediately stepped forward to finish him off, but Hua Ye blocked her with his sword.
The clash between Tianquan and Tiansha sparked many flames.
Hua Ye's knees almost bent from the sudden, strange force of He Xi.
But he still gritted his teeth and forced He Xi back a few steps.
He then seized the opportunity to launch an attack, delivering a sweeping slash towards He Xi.
Although He Xi raised her sword to defend herself, she was still knocked back by the blow.
His body couldn't stop retreating rapidly until he reached the steps of the throne.
Hua Ye did not attack again. He took a few breaths, and the sweat on his palms flowed down the blade to the tip of the sword.
Drops fell onto the floor of the palace.
After all, Hua Ye's strength lies in releasing void energy for long-range attacks; close combat is not his forte.
The main problem is that he hasn't practiced for tens of thousands of years, so he's really weak.
Seeing Hua Ye sweating, He Xi smiled slightly and beckoned to him with her finger.
Hua Ye was immediately enraged by such a mocking gesture.
He flicked the sweat off his sword and strode towards He Xi.
Facing Hua Ye's diagonal slash, He Xi dodged it by tilting her head.
Then, using the force of his legs, he slammed his shoulder into Hua Ye's chest.
Just as Hua Ye was stunned by the impact, He Xi grabbed the arm that was holding the sword.
He slammed him hard onto the floor with an over-the-shoulder throw!
This not only threw Hua Ye hard, but also caused him to accidentally loosen his grip on the sword due to the sudden dizziness.
He Xi seized the opportunity to take away the other party's weapon.
And with a single sword stroke, he aimed for the man's neck, a vital spot!
However, Hua Ye's reaction was also good; he dodged He Xi's fatal sword with a roll on the ground.
After creating some distance between himself and He Xi, Hua Ye slapped the ground with both hands and sprang up like a carp leaping out of the water.
Seeing the other party stand up, He Xi rushed over with two swords in hand.
Having lost his weapon, Hua Ye could only dodge and weave around the pillars.
But He Xi still managed to strike her with a vertical slash from the perfect angle.
However, Hua Ye caught Tian Sha's slash with his hand when He Xi swung his sword.
The sharp pain made Hua Ye grit his teeth, but he still endured the pain and forcefully pushed away He Xi's attack.
And then a spinning kick slammed into He Xi's face!
