570 - Maniac Liu Shaji Aran's Thoughts

Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 570, Maniac Liu Shaji 

 The wind was soughing. 

An Immortal Step boundary martial arts overlord had fallen just like that.

The countless petals falling on the Storm Platform were like a flurry of snow.

Liu Xuezong's body had turned into tens of thousands of petals.

On the Nangong family's floating peak, the look of astonishment in Nangong Jue's eyes very soon faded.  

He whispered a few words to an elder behind him, then when he turned back around there was a faint smile curving his lips. He cast a glance at Liu Shaji on the Storm Platform, lowered his head, and seemed uninterested in all other matters. He stretched out his right hand and played around with his fingers in a very strange rhythm. 

While the Sky Demon Palace master was glancing over in the direction of the Greater One Sect’s floating peak, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, and soon Spiritual Master Long Jiao offered a cup of wine, which he finished in one gulp.

The Heaven Devastator Demon Sect master was naturally incomparably calm from the start to finish. 

He seemed unsurprised about the result of the battle, and was only indifferently looking at Liu Shaji on the Storm Platform, an unclear emotion in the depths of his eyes. 

All the floating peaks around the Storm Platform were heavy with a strange atmosphere.

After a moment of quiet and stillness, although snapped out of their astonishment, the spectators still found it difficult to control the shock in their hearts and began quietly whispering to each other.  

“Heavens! How could that be?” “

“Really didn’t expect Liu Xuezong, one of the headmasters of the eight peaks, an incredibly strong expert, to die on the Storm Platform like that!” 

“It's unbelievable, Liu Xuezong is a top master who had entered the Immortal Step boundary hundreds of years ago! But he collapsed at the first blow!” 

“Who said no? He was killed at the first blow!” 

“It is hard to imagine, this White Lotus Sword Sect had collapsed for hundred years, how would there be such a powerful young expert!” 

“He killed a headmaster of the Immortal Step boundary in one blow! What kind of power is this! It's terrifying!”

“It’s mainly the White Lotus sword technique that is terrifying, really didn’t think that the handed down martial arts of a sect that has been destroyed to be so terrifying!” 

“But the White Lotus sword techniques are too powerful! It could take the life of an Immortal Step expert in one strike!” 

“Since White Lotus sword techniques are so powerful, why was the White Lotus Sword Sect destroyed by Greater One Sect back then?”

“Who knows!” 

On the big and small floating peaks, all of the people were in complete shock.

An Immortal Step expert had fallen. No matter when, such a matter would be enough to shake the entire Clear River Domain.

Countless eyes fell on Liu Shaji's body. Besides shock, there was envy and awe. 

“We all have such mediocre aptitude, we most likely will never progress to the Immortal Step boundary in this life. The White Lotus sword techniques killed an Immortal Step expert in one move, its power is too terrifying!”

“Don’t you guys find it a little weird?”

“What's weird?” 

“All the matters that had happened today are connected in countless ways to the people on that floating peak.” 

“Now that you’ve mentioned it, it is indeed true. That Liu Shaji, in order to save Tian Huang, had stood against He Ju, he must be inextricably linked with the Thunder and Lightning Sect.” 

“Yes, yes, I think so too.” 

The people, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement, lines of sight subsequently turned to the floating peak that Ye Qingyu and the others were on. Their expressions grew thoughtful. 

“There is not a simple person on that floating peak!” 

“Yes, look, the unfathomable master of Tian Huang and ruthless and decisive successor, and the White Lotus Sword Sect’s Liu Shaji.” 

“There is also bandit Hu Bugui, and the successor of the Immortal God Emperor Sect!” “

“These people have gathered together, I don't know if it's a coincidence or there's something else!”

On the Storm Platform. 

Liu Shaji was like an immortal banished from heavens. He was standing straight on the white lotus flower stamen. 

The wind was howling, fluttering his robes.

As though he did not hear the voices below the platform, he calmly looked over in the direction of the Greater One Sect's floating peak.

Opposite. 

The several headmasters of Greater One Sect were staring at Liu Shaji. 

These influential people who usually took a tense situation calmly, and were accustomed to not showing a change of expression in the face of Mt. Tai collapsing, could no longer maintain the slightest calm at this moment. Every one of them had a sudden change in countenance, murderous intent overflowing from their eyes, and was without the slightest warmth. 

Liu Shaji seemed unaware.

He coldly smiled, brushing the White Lotus Immortal sword gently with his palm, the curve of his mouth resembling a crescent moon on a cold night. 

After a moment of slight silence, Liu Shaji suddenly raised his head.

Like lightning, he shot a glance in the direction of Greater One Sect, pointing his sword.  

“I just killed one of you, and you can't stand it? How arrogant was the Greater One Sect when they destroyed my White Lotus Sword Sect? Take out the courage that you had when you killed them... Today, I, Liu Shaji, demand repayment for the spirits of the White Lotus Sword Sect, Liu Xonzong is only the first one. Back then he and He Ju together plotted against my master... Hahaha, He Ju, get on the stage to die!” 

Before his voice faded. 

The crowd, like a scoop of water was poured into a boiling oil pan, completely exploded. 

“This young man really is crazy!” 

“He dares challenge He Ju!”

“Too reckless, He Ju’s cultivation is possibly superior to Liu Xuezong, he really is crazy!”

“He just killed a headmaster of the Greater One Sect, yet dares to challenge another headmaster, he really does not know the immensity of heaven and earth!” 

“Greater One Sect had already lost Chen Shaohua and headmaster Liu Xuezong, they have completely lost their face. He Ju may not necessarily accept the challenge.”

“If He Ju was defeated on the Storm Platform next, then that would be interesting! The Greater One Sect would completely lose their face!”

“Really unexpected, this young man has such a temper, but he has shown too much of his ability.”

“Unfortunately, even if this young man had killed Liu Xuezong, it’s impossible for him to withstand one hundred enemies; there are a number of Immortal Step experts in Greater One Sect!”

“Greater One Sect surely will not let him off!” 

On a small floating peak. 

Hu Bugui was also somewhat speechless when he heard Liu Shaji continue to challenge He Ju.  

After a long while, he seemed to understand, burst into loud laughter and said, “Haha, indeed is a brother of mine, there is such boldness. A little Greater One Sect is nothing, I also cannot stand the sight of that He Ju, absolutely can't excuse Greater One Sect this hypocrite! Brother Liu, get rid of them. Hahaha.” 

Old Fish grinned, cleaned his ears with his finger, then as though no one was around blew at it. 

Ye Qingyu turned a blind eye to Old Fish’s indecent behavior, looking at Liu Shaji with a trace of admiration in his eyes.

On the Greater One Sect's floating peak.

The people of the Greater One Sect were both shocked and furious.

There was a strong murderous aura, and the headmasters of the eight peaks were infuriated.

To be undisguisedly slapped across the face like that, even if they had been training for hundreds of years it was still difficult to swallow this anger.

Greater One Spiritual Master’s face was ashen, revealing murderous intent, but did not declare his stance.  

“This White Lotus Sword Sect's surviving member is too arrogant. They really treat Greater One Sect as a nobody!” 

“Hmph! Unexpectedly dares to challenge senior brother He, a stray dog is barking, he clearly wants to die!” 

“Must not let him live to see the sun tomorrow!”

“Junior brother Liu was only killed because of carelessness, he really thinks our Greater One Sect is easy to bully!” 

He Ju was both shocked and furious.  

When he wanted to kill Tian Huang to vent his rage, the unfathomable master of the Thunder and Lightning Sect suddenly appeared. Not only did he fail to avenge his disciple, he also had to kowtow and endure the pressure of the consciousness power of the Thunder and Lightning Sect master, causing him to lose all his face. Then, a surviving member of the White Lotus Sword Sect suddenly came out and killed his junior brother Liu Xuezong, and subsequently challenged him. How can he not be furious. Even if he wanted to directly kill Liu Shaji to vent his anger, he also had to take into account the Master of Tian Huang. 

Ever since Liu Shaji had revealed his true identity, all the headmasters of the eight peaks knew that they must not release a tiger back into the mountains. 

But Liu Shaji seemed to have a good relationship with the Thunder and Lightning Sect. If Greater One Sect really did kill Liu Shaji... and the master of the Thunder and Lightning Sect was angered, disastrous consequences would follow! 

The Greater One Spiritual Master also thought of this.

Suppressing his anger, he pondered carefully and rose to his feet slowly.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands, the Greater One Spiritual Master slowly turned to the direction of Old Fish, cupped one hand in the other and bowed respectfully, “Elder...”

He did not finish his sentence, but the meaning had been expressed clearly. 

On a small floating peak, Old Fish gave a mischievous smile, crossed one leg over the other, and dusted his trousers, and said without lifting up his head, “Haha, don't ask me, why ask me, do what you like, as long as it is a fair battle, I will not intervene.

The restraining fear vanished from Greater One Spiritual Master’s face. 

He slowly got up, the aura around him instantly becoming austere. 

The Greater One Spiritual Master made a sweeping motion with his horsetail whisk, before bowing to Old Fish once more and his eyes shifted back onto the Storm Platform.

“The Master of the Thunder and Lightning Sect had expressed that he will not meddle in this matter, there is nothing to fear. This boy possesses such cultivation at such a young age, if he was given enough time he will become a threat to Greater One Sect. Today we must not release the tiger back into the mountain!”

Greater One Spiritual Master felt a weight lifted off of his shoulders. He Ju’s strength was above that of Liu Xuezong, and he would absolutely not repeat Liu Xuezong’s mistakes in this fight.

“Huh! The master of the Thunder and Lightning Sect does not plan to intervene!”  

“Greater One Sect absolutely will not let the young man off!”

“If the Thunder and Lightning Sect’s master intervenes, then he might survive, but it seems there’s no chance now.” 

“Yes, Greater One Sect’s foundation is so deep, how will they tolerate him!” 

Since Old Fish had declared his stance, there were many people that thought Liu Shaji may have lost his biggest backer, and everything pointed to disaster for him.

But at this time on the Storm Platform, when Liu Shaji heard Old Fish’s words, not only was there not the slightest disappointment, a grateful expression crossed his face as he bowed deeply to Old Fish. “Thank you, elder!”

……

On a floating peak. 

Greater One Spiritual Master slowly sat back, finally feeling at ease.

It may be assumed that, since the master of the Thunder and Lightning Sect was a quasi-emperor like expert of martial arts, his words carry enormous weight. If he had said that he won’t intervene, he certainly will not go against his own words. 

Ye Qingyu saw that the Greater One Spiritual Master and the other headmasters who were like monks in a meditative state, their lips were closing and opening as though talking about something.

There wasn’t a protective boundary set up around the headmaster’s floating peak, but at this time all the people could only see the several headmasters conversing in secret code and were completely unable to hear the content they were discussing.

A moment later.

He Ju seemed full of confidence. 

He gently flung his wide sleeves and rose to his feet, looking at Liu Shaji on the Storm Platform with an imperceptible malice. 

“Junior, you chose not to walk the path of the human world, instead breaking into the doors of hell.”

Before his voice died away. 

He Ju also flashed to the Storm Platform. 

There was only half a shadow dissipating in the void.

His eyes drooped and his lips curved in a sneer. 

“It must be lonely being the only one remaining in the White Lotus Sword Sect, you have caused such a big motion. I will send you on the way and let you reunite with your master and fellow disciples.” 

He Ju interlaced his fingers, index fingers extending out to form a seal in front of his chest. As his mouth opened and closed, he uttered some obscure mantra, and suddenly the gap between his fingers was a rising beam of golden light, jetting out. The soaring golden beam of light, in a rapid and imposing manner, gathered the yuan qi of He Ju into a tornado-like cyclone, which rotated at a tremendous speed, while He Ju also rose into the air, 10 feet from the ground. 

His whole body turned into a number of golden arrows. 

The arrow body was less than one foot, and on the arrowhead was not only gold paint but also wrapped in golden red yuan qi flames. 

Tens of thousands of golden arrows revolved around He Ju’s tornado of yuan qi like golden lasers.

Everyone could only see that He Ju was more dazzling than before. Even though he was separated by the boundary walls, the naked eye was stung from the brilliance he emitted and had no option but to operate qi to withstand such splendour

In a short moment, a golden laser cyclone had wrapped around He Ju, wind and waves tumbling below the strong cyclone, wind raging on the Storm Platform, and the bones and flesh before had broke through the boundary, scattering everywhere. 

In the middle of the cyclone, He Ju bellowed wildly.

Tens of thousands of golden arrows faced the direction of Liu Shaji, uniform and ready to launch. 

“Golden Piecing Heaven Technique, break.”

Swoosh! 

Swoosh! 

Swoosh! 

In an instant, more than tens of thousands of golden arrows hurled in the direction of Liu Shaji.
