This Journey To The West Is So Terrifying Chapter 318

[ … words ]

“Haha, if that’s the case, I’m off!” Upon hearing this, Zi Chu let out a hearty laugh, a startling rainbow light shining under his feet as he flew straight toward the north, his speed so fast that one couldn’t clearly make out his figure.

“My lord!” The Judge hurriedly shouted out loud, for the City God was not supposed to leave his jurisdiction lightly. Now that his superior had ridden the rainbow away, if the higher-up lords were to inquire, how would he respond.

Turning his head, he realized that the figure in black wasn’t opting to leave, but instead was nonchalantly standing to the side, seemingly ready to watch a good show.

“Kunlun Zi Chu, let them witness the might of the Kunlun Sword Immortal. This sword light that has been dormant for many years will surely shine throughout the Three Realms,” the figure in black muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, in the northern lands of the Three Realms, a qilin with a body of azure was standing on the waves, positioned on a large river.

The corpses of several divine dragons lay silently in the river, their fresh blood dyeing the surface red, the scent of dragon blood drawing countless Aquatic Races, frenziedly devouring the dragon blood.

As a whale falls and all living beings rise, the potent blood qi of the Dragon Clan was split and eaten by the Aquatic Races. Perhaps after some time, this place would see many among the Aquatic Races bearing the Dragon bloodline, and maybe a few powerful monsters might arise.

However, these matters were of no significance to the Water Monarch; his mission was to completely destroy the net of water territories held by the Jade Emperor’s hand, thereby becoming the true Water Monarch, and through this, breaking through his current bottleneck.

After killing the disobedient Dragon Lords, his gaze turned southward, where many more authorities of Water Gods awaited reclamation by him.

At that moment, a sharp aura burst forth from the south, utterly unmasked, the fearsome Sword Qi surging straight towards him. Even though they were so far apart, it still made the Water Monarch feel the terror.

He lifted his head to look southward, his aura slowly growing stronger. He knew that this visitor came with ill intentions.

In that sharp Sword Qi, he faintly sensed a killing intent.

“Killing intent!” The Water Monarch suddenly found it somewhat amusing. With his own strength, among the entire Three Realms, truly only a few could kill him, and even fewer among those who wielded swords. He could tell that this Sword Qi wasn’t from any of them.

“Another ignorant fool, perhaps sent by the Heavenly Court to die,” the Naval Forces thought to themselves.

In the span of a breath, a flying rainbow crossed thousands of miles to arrive beside him. The frightful Sword Qi split the river, revealing the wet riverbed below, as many of the fish and shrimp fighting for the dragon blood suffered an unintended calamity, instantly turned to dust by the sharp Sword Qi.

A young man wearing the crimson robes of the authorities appeared, looking very young, his thin face naturally carrying an air of authority, with a Treasured Sword strapped to his waist.

“Haha, has the Heavenly Court run out of people, sending a City God to die!”

Recognizing the attire of City God Zi Chu, the Water Monarch couldn’t help but laugh heartily, earlier, before he saw anyone, he thought it was some promising youth from the Heavenly Court, but it turned out to be an ignorant City God.

“Be sensible, hurry and leave this place. Return to your little patch of land; the strife here has nothing to do with you. Don’t muddy the waters.”

Zi Chu did not respond to him but instead gently caressed his own side-sword.

The Treasured Sword immediately issued a low hum. Zi Chu could clearly feel the excitement emanating from the sword.

Yes, the sword was excited; it was longing for the blood of the qilin opposite him, it was eager to sever its neck.

Zi Chu could feel its excitement and understood its longing; it had been many years since his Treasured Sword had been unsheathed.

He coldly stared at the imposing Water Monarch before him, a flicker of satisfaction flashing in his eyes – such an opponent was worthy of his sword.

The Water Monarch quickly sensed Zi Chu’s hostile intentions, and his eyes began to turn more ruthless.

“If you truly seek death, then I shall fulfill your wish,” roared the ancient Divine Beast, his breath blasting forth like a fired cannonball, directly at Zi Chu’s face.

Zi Chu remained motionless, standing quietly on the surface of the water, as if he was petrified by everything that was happening before him.

Just as the wave of energy was about to reach him, the corner of his mouth suddenly lifted into a faint smile, followed by a crisp sound of sword ringing that pierced the skies, as he slowly drew the treasured sword from his waist.

In an instant, the piercing Sword Intent filled every corner, and the radiant sword light shone forth. The Water Monarch immediately felt that something was amiss.

The Sword Intent was too terrifying; even with his Divine Beast body, he couldn’t help but want to tremble at this moment, and a voice inside his heart was incessantly urging him to leave this place, or else he would truly die here.

But his pride made him forcibly stop in his tracks. He was unwilling to be frightened into fleeing by an unknown nobody like this, or else his lifetime of renown would be ruined in one fell swoop.

Besides, it was not certain that the Sword Qi was as terrifying as it appeared. He had full confidence in his own body.

The Water Monarch instinctively used all his spells to protect himself, and the light from several spells gleamed, making the river water dazzling.

Just as he had constructed his final spell, Zi Chu’s Sword Qi had already arrived beside him.

But as they first clashed, he realized something was wrong—the Sword Qi was carrying an extremely dominant will, as if all living beings and everything in Heaven and Earth could be held in one’s hand, making one want to submit in an instant.

The endless Sword Qi pierced through the barrier of spells, and the techniques that could once block Heavenly Tribulations seemed to be no different from paper mache under this fearsome Sword Qi.

An unprecedented terror enveloped the Water Monarch’s heart in an instant; he felt the approach of death.

Mana surged throughout his body, and the power of his bloodline was pushed to the extreme. An intense aura erupted from the Water Monarch, causing all living beings within a hundred miles to tremble in fear, lacking even the courage to look up.

But all this seemed so insignificant under the Sword Qi, and the resplendent sword light vanished in a flash.

The Water Monarch’s eyes widened when he found himself unharmed.

“So it was all just for show!” he muttered to himself, astonished that he had been scared into using all his techniques. Just a moment ago, he had clearly sensed the breath of death.

Shame and fury filled his mind instantly. Now, all he wanted was to completely dismember the City God before him.

However, when he wanted to act, he suddenly realized that his body seemed to be immobile. Looking down, he found that his head was separating from his body.

He watched powerlessly as his head moved further away from his body, engulfed by endless regret and fear; his final roar was, “No!”

The mighty Water Monarch fell like this, amidst unwillingness and fear, on this nameless river. He had avoided calamity numerous times since ancient times, but had never imagined that he would be beheaded so effortlessly.

Zi Chu gently sheathed the treasured sword, extended his hand, and caught the falling head of the Water Monarch, while the fearsome Sword Qi around him dissipated.

The Judge craned his neck, looking toward the north where his master had flown off, uncertain of the situation there.

As for the man in black beside him, he appeared completely calm, as if he was not the least bit concerned about the City God.

“This person clearly has a hold over my master, he probably doesn’t care at all about my master’s life or death,” the Judge muttered to himself.

He felt no kindness toward this always shadow-hidden person with an indistinct face. The Judge always thought of him as a poison snake lurking in the shadows, ready to bite at any moment.

Suddenly, the sound of sword ringing reached his ears. He lifted his head to see a rainbow flying in from the north. A look of delight appeared on the Judge’s face; his master had returned so quickly.

He then saw a gigantic head descending from the sky, landing right in front of him.
