Chapter 2576: His Life Is Mine

Zu An had no spare energy to reply to Emperor Jun. He rushed to Xingtian’s side with the Goddess of Wu Mountain in his arms to see if he could save Xingtian.

To his surprise, Xingtian’s headless body suddenly brandished his axe and shield as he roared, “I have not been defeated yet! Let’s continue the battle!” Shockwaves rippled from his weapons. Having his head lopped off made him so furious that his attacks were filled with murderous intent. It was impossible to approach him like that.

Zu An had no choice but to back away along with the Goddess of Wu Mountain.

“How can he still speak?” The Goddess of Wu Mountain gasped in astonishment.

Zu An pointed to Xingtian’s belly button. “His voice seems to be coming from there.”

He had naturally heard the story about the headless Xingtian brandishing his axe and shield, but he could never have imagined that Xingtian’s head would be lopped off while saving him. His blood raced at that thought.

The Goddess of Wu Mountain took a closer look. Xingtian’s belly button was indeed opening and closing like a mouth. “Let’s find his head. He might be able to put himself back together.”

Stitching one’s head back onto their body wasn't difficult for cultivators of their caliber.

Zu An nodded in agreement. He flashed toward Xingtian’s falling head. As he was about to grab the head, however, a ray of flames shot through it and reduced it to ashes.

Zu An and the Goddess of Wu Mountain were shocked and infuriated. They looked back at the culprit.

Emperor Jun looked back at them with cold eyes. “Am I invisible to you?”

Xingtian howled chillingly. He clutched the severed stump of his neck as if his head were still there. Despite his head already being separated from his body, having it reduced to ashes still inflicted unbearable pain upon him.

Two blood streams flowed down from his nipples. All of a sudden, they opened to reveal his new eyes. He glared at Emperor Jun with bloody tears in his eyes.

“Die!” Xingtian roared from his belly button as he brandished his axe at Emperor Jun. A huge gorge was left on the ground wherever his axe crossed.

Emperor Jun morphed into a golden light to dodge the attacks.

However, light could be seen distorting in the wake of Xingtian’s attacks, indicating that they were strong enough to distort even space. That made Emperor Jun’s expression darken. He hadn’t expected Xingtian to become even stronger after having his head destroyed.

Hmph, the Shaman races’ berserk bloodline is abominable!

The headless Xingtian leaped over to Emperor Jun’s side and unleashed dozens of cuts.

Emperor Jun parried the attacks with his hand, but the attacks were so relentless that he began to lose his patience. “You’re courting death!”

Flames suddenly surged around Emperor Jun and rushed at Xingtian.

Just then, however, a powerful wave gushed over and stopped the flames.

Emperor Jun was startled. He raised his head to look at Gonggong. Isn’t he fighting Donghuang Taiyi? How can he have the energy to interfere with my fight? Did something happen to Taiyi?

But Gonggong and Donghuang Taiyi were still clashing intensely with each other.

Gonggong noticed the situation as well and was surprised. “That lad can control water?”

Indeed, Zu An had used the Hundredwarble and Crown of the Ocean Deity’s abilities to borrow Gonggong’s water and extinguish Emperor Jun’s flames.

Donghuang Taiyi shouted out a warning.

Emperor Jun’s eyes fell on Zu An once more. Hatred flared in his eyes. “It’s you!”

You have successfully trolled Emperor Jun for +444... +444... +444...

Two grand wings unfurled behind Emperor Jun. Each feather on his wings was comparable to a deity-grade artifact, and they shrouded Zu An with their sharp sword ki.

Having fought the Fiend Emperor and the Golden Crows in the Cultivation World, Zu An was familiar with this move. But it was Emperor Jun executing it this time, so it was more than a thousand times stronger. After sensing its terrifying destructive prowess, Zu An didn’t dare let his guard down. He quickly sent the Goddess of Wu Mountain to safety with a gentle force before drawing his Tai’e Sword to confront the sword ki.

In a matter of moments, Zu An was already inflicted with many sword wounds. Fresh blood oozed from his injuries. Even his manifested East Emperor Bell was instantly destroyed by the sword ki. He had only survived because of his Heaven-Devouring Sutra, but even so, he was still unable to neutralize most of the ki.

Emperor Jun was as shocked by Zu An as he hadn’t held back in his attacks. The latter had killed his nine sons and ruined his plans. He hated Zu An so much that he wanted nothing more than to grind the other party’s bones into ashes.

His first attack had been blocked by Xingtian’s head, but he hadn’t expected Zu An to take his second attack head-on and survive!

How can someone of his cultivation withstand my attack?

Emperor Jun gritted his teeth. He was about to charge at Zu An when the headless Xingtian roared and charged at him once more. His expression turned cold as he directed his sword ki toward Xingtian.

Xingtian raised his shield to protect himself while brandishing his axe to cut down the golden sword feathers. It didn’t take long before he was bleeding profusely, but that further invoked his bloodline power, causing his attacks to become more ferocious, like a war god.

Worried that Xingtian could slip up, Zu An quickly attacked Emperor Jun to share Xingtian’s burden.

“You despicable rats!” Emperor Jun spat through gritted teeth.

He could have easily defeated either of them individually. Xingtian was strong, but he specialized in physical confrontations. Any skills hurled at him would have put him in a fluster. But Zu An, despite his lower cultivation, happened to have all kinds of random methods. The sheer number of abilities he had shocked even Emperor Jun.

Their coordination covered each other’s flaws, making it difficult for Emperor Jun to take them down quickly. Of course, that didn’t mean he couldn’t defeat them; it would just take him longer than anticipated.

But what he lacked the most now was time. The ten suns in the sky had caused such a huge commotion that it was bound to catch the attention of all kinds of powerhouses. Gonggong was merely the first to arrive. Things could get messy if the other Ancestral Shamans or Zhuanxu came too.

He suddenly noticed the worried Goddess of Wu Mountain in his peripheral vision, and a thought surfaced in his mind. He feigned an attack before thrusting his palm at the distant Goddess of Wu Mountain.

A golden palmprint instantly appeared before the Goddess of Wu Mountain. Space compressed wherever the palmprint crossed, as if gravity had been amplified ten thousand times. If this attack landed, the goddess would immediately go splat.

The Kaiming Six Shamans wanted to save her, but they were too far away to make it in time.

Zu An was horrified. He performed an instantaneous movement to get to the Goddess of Wu Mountain’s side, but there was no time for him to escape with her. He could only embrace her and take on the attack with his back.

Pu!

Despite Zu An’s countless defense skills and the protection of the Heaven-Devouring Sutra’s devouring power, he was still unable to neutralize the palm strike and spat large mouthfuls of blood. Even pieces of his innards were visible amid the blood.

“Are you all right?!” the usually cold Goddess of Wu Mountain exclaimed in a fluster. She hurriedly cast her recovery spells to treat his injuries.

Zu An didn’t answer. With his current regenerative prowess, he could make a full recovery even if someone blasted half his body into bits, but it went without saying that Emperor Jun wouldn’t give him the time to recover.

Xingtian tried to stall Emperor Jun, but the latter had already anticipated this situation. While dealing with Xingtian’s attacks, Emperor Jun thrust his palm once more. If this palm strike landed, both Zu An and the Goddess of Wu Mountain would be reduced to a bloody mist.

Gonggong wanted to help, but Donghuang Taiyi wouldn’t give him the chance.

Just then, another sun suddenly appeared and blocked that devastating palm strike.

“What are you doing?!” Emperor Jun was shocked and infuriated.

The sun slowly morphed into a beautiful woman. “His life is mine. I shall end him personally!”
