Chapter 2758 - I Want to be Quiet
"The two of you might not believe me," Gu Chunhan continued, fearing Tianming's disbelief. "If this method leaks out and the people from the New Shrine find out, I won't be able to keep my life."
"In that case, I'll leave first." Tianming decisively walked out.
Yin Chen was everywhere, so he could hear everything.
Once he left, Zi Zhen asked, "What method?"
Gu Chunhan scratched his head, intensely looked down at Zi Zhen, and said, "Actually, there’s no other method. You're short of twenty million soulstones, and the New Shrine won't agree, unless...."
"Unless what?"
"Unless I contribute twenty million soulstones to help you," Gu Chunhan generously said.
"And how should I repay you?" Zi Zhen asked, looking up.
"Truly worthy of my sister Zi Zhen, always so straightforward!" Gu Chunhan chuckled. He took two steps forward, approached her, and said, "Twenty million soulstones, that's no small amount! I, your brother, will have put in so much effort for you. Are you willing to let me suffer a loss? As long as you loosen up a bit and accompany your brother to play for a month, I'll help you!"
"For a month?" Zi Zhen laughed.
"Sister, twenty million soulstones is no small amount. And besides, you have xeno fatigue, which is said to be somewhat ominous. I'm really just trying to help you. That's why I reluctantly agreed," Gu Chunhan said.
"Are you trying to take advantage of my weakened state? I can’t exert my full strength, but you’re still not completely sure of defeating me, so you're taking advantage first, expecting me to comply? Once you succeed, you’ll not only want twenty million soulstones, but also our lives and the sixty million soulstones on us. Unfortunately, you've miscalculated. From the beginning, we never had sixty million soulstones and you never intended to help us."
Zi Zhen stared at him with her purple eyes. With each sentence she uttered, Gu Chunhan's face turned a bit darker; clearly, everything she said was true.
"You have no soulstones, and you, a sickly woman, want to play tricks on me? Are you seriously ill? Oh right, you are! With such a serious illness, it’s your honor that I want to play with you. But now you're trying to play games with me? Do you think you're precious?" Gu Chunhan's expression abruptly changed, his voice grew rough, and even his spittle sprayed onto Zi Zhen.
"I'm not precious, but you're even worse." Zi Zhen coldly looked at him and continued, "He said asking you so many questions was giving you a chance. Unfortunately, you didn't seize it. Don't blame us for being impolite."
"Ridiculous! You, a sickly ghost, are threatening me? Watch me destroy you today!" Gu Chunhan laughed, and before his words could fully fall, the figure of the purple-haired girl suddenly flashed. What seemed like a gentle punch struck Gu Chunhan with lightning speed.
"Seeking death!" Gu Chunhan roared, using his robust arms to block. Even so, his large body was still sent flying by Zi Zhen's punch and both of his arms shattered into minced meat on impact, then his entire person crashed into the mountain wall.
"I'll be damned!" Gu Chunhan activated his cosmic charts and his arms quickly recovered. He roared, climbing up like an ancient ferocious beast, eyes emitting sinister black gas as they stared at Zi Zhen!
"Using your last scraps of energy against me, eh? Very well, it seems you aren’t easy to deal with. But don't forget, this is my territory. I have many brothers, and during the blackout period, we aid each other. You dare to attack me in my own home? Your brain must be broken up!" He had realized how dangerous Zi Zhen was with just one punch, so right after he spoke, he began howling at the sky, emitting a deafening roar.
"Don't bother, the signal can’t go out." The clear voice of a young man came, and Gu Chunhan was stunned. He first saw Tianming standing at the entrance of the cave, and above Tianming's head, there was actually a giant ‘quiet' Xia word!
"What’s that?" Gu Chunhan was bewildered.
"Oh, it's a Xia word that I just developed in my wonder, capable of creating a silencing effect. Interesting, right?" Once again, Tianming was amazed by the power of his new wonder; a single 'quiet’ hanging over his head made the sounds in the cave unable to escape. And there were many words capable of combining with ‘quiet’!
After breaking through, his wonder had continued developing and he now had more than two hundred Xia words at his disposal, making it much stronger in power and functionality than before.
"Time to try the hexagonal forbidden zone!" Tianming happened to have six orders. Using them as six corners, they formed a hexagonal forbidden zone that locked on to Gu Chunhan.
Gu Chunhan had three cosmic charts, but at that moment, he frowned. The astrons in his body were unexpectedly engulfed by the destructive power of the infernal, genesis, and other orders. They destructive powers even reached his cosmic charts, suppressing his cultivation to a large extent.
"Am I being suppressed by the orders of an orderan?" Gu Chunhan was dumbfounded.
While he was in a daze, Zi Zhen, who was even stronger than before, came to strike.
"Butchering the pig!"
In less than twenty breaths, the powerful oppression and attack from both opponents left Gu Chunhan with a bruised, swollen face, and his cosmic charts were shaking. His internal organs had been shattered under the heavy blows, and under the severe injuries, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zi Zhen, wailing, "Goddess, spare my life! I was wrong! I'm trash! I'm not worthy of being your friend!"
"I don't believe you," Zi Zhen indifferently said.
"It's okay, my sword believes him!"
Tianming had Zi Zhen suppress Gu Chunhan while he walked up. He had never used the Imperial Sword Prison to deal with an astral god before. It required releasing the Imperial Sword Prison into every astron of the opponent’s body, focusing on the seven heptastar organs and even targeting the cosmic charts to completely kill them. Therefore, he estimated that the whole process would take quite some time.
However, that was the only way to completely control a cunning person.
