The Human Emperor

Chapter 2022: The Sage Emperor’s Aura Scares Off Genesis Supreme!

An Yaluoshan stood up, spread out his arms, and loudly said, “Hahaha, Genesis Supreme, I knew that you would come and save me!”

He had managed to last until Genesis Supreme arrived. He was the true victor.

An Yaluoshan finally and truly relaxed. With Genesis Supreme here, no one would be able to threaten him. It was now time to turn from hunted to hunter!

An Yaluoshan’s eyes were domineering and proud as he pointed at the distant Wang Chong and savagely said, “Genesis Supreme, kill that Wang Chong! Kill him, and I can help you sweep over the Central Plains and unify the world!”

Genesis Supreme floated in the air like a ghost, a white mask on his face and a terrifyingly immense pressure radiating from his body.

While Wang Chong, the Wushang Village Chief, and the Demonic Emperor Old Man were supreme experts, they seemed insignificant compared to Genesis Supreme.

“The Child of Destruction?”

Genesis Supreme’s robes danced as his white mask slowly turned toward Wang Chong.

In a flash, Wang Chong, the Wushang Village Chief, and the Demonic Emperor Old Man were on their guard, their expressions incredibly grim.

Strong!

Very strong!

It had been a very long time since Wang Chong had encountered an expert of this level. He sensed that even if they put their lives on the line, they would still be no match for this Genesis Supreme.

“You’re still nothing compared to Li Taiyi. As we’ve run into each other, I might as well get rid of you!” Genesis Supreme’s voice drifted out from the white mask, cold and emotionless.

He slightly raised an arm, its fingers opening toward the trio.

The three of them instantly tensed, and a sense of imminent death suddenly seized their hearts.

Behind them were the high walls, covered in a formation, leaving them nowhere to run. And besides, Wang Chong understood that even if they tried to flee, they would not be faster than Genesis Supreme.

“Careful!”

This development was beyond his expectations, but the only option for the three of them was to fight to the death.

“Hahaha, kill them! hurry and kill them!”

An Yaluoshan broke out in laughter, looking at Wang Chong’s group as if they were already dead. After so many trials and tribulations, it was finally his turn to hold his head high.

In the air, a golden light thousands of times more dazzling than the sun and bursting with destructive power shot out from Genesis Supreme’s hand.

Just when it seemed like Wang Chong and the others would be instantly slain by Genesis Supreme’s attack…

Buzz!

An intense tremor came from the capital, and in the air, Genesis Supreme scowled and raised his head. Though nothing seemed to have happened, Genesis Supreme could see what others could not, could see that a ray of light had appeared over the capital.

The ray of light swiftly transformed into a white net that encompassed the entire capital and rapidly expanded in the direction of Genesis Supreme.

What shocked Genesis Supreme even more was that within the capital, in the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal, a majestic energy that should have been sealed had suddenly become restless, appearing on the verge of fully awakening at any moment.

“!!!”

Genesis Supreme’s hand that was aimed at Wang Chong’s group seemed to freeze in the air.

Not good! He’s about to awaken!

Genesis Supreme was alarmed, and he no longer had the time to deal with Wang Chong. With a wave of his sleeve, he swept up An Yaluoshan, Cui Qianyou, and Tian Chengsi before they had time to react, and shot away, leaving before the net had time to enclose him.

The sight of Genesis Supreme fleeing so abruptly made Wang Chong sense something.

“Don’t think about running!”

Buzz!

A moment later, light gathered behind him and Stellar Energy rumbled. The Trayastrimsa Heaven manifested, and as Wang Chong reached out with his hand, the Trayastrimsa Heaven transformed into the golden spear, pulsing with terrifying energy. With spear in hand, he took aim at Cui Qianyou.

Genesis Supreme was in no mood to attack, so this was the best opportunity to deal with them.

Suddenly, as his eyes scanned the air, Wang Chong spotted something, and the golden spear changed targets, leaving his hand and flying toward a distant shrub.

Bang!

As the spear flew through the air and into the shrub, a scream tore through the air. A geyser of blood shot more than ten feet into the air, and soon, a figure appeared from the shrub, striking the ground face-up.

“Gao Shang!” An Yaluoshan cried out, his eyes almost bursting out of his eye sockets.

Wang Chong’s Trayastrimsa Heaven had pierced through none other than An Yaluoshan’s number one strategist, Gao Shang.

“Finally dead?”

Wang Chong’s eyes glinted with cold light. In the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal, during the feast of all countries, Wang Chong had kept note of two faces: An Yaluoshan and Gao Shang.

Wang Chong had originally intended to target Cui Qianyou or Tian Chengsi. Even if Genesis Supreme prevented him from killing An Yaluoshan, Wang Chong at least needed to kill one of his Great Generals. But the moment he spotted Gao Shang, he changed his mind.

No matter how powerful Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi were, in the end, they were simple warriors. The Great Tang had numerous generals, and there were many people capable of killing these two. But Gao Shang was different.

Wang Chong was certain that An Yaluoshan alone could not think up this plan to steal Dragon Qi during the feast of all countries. There was a ninety percent chance that Gao Shang was involved.

Compared to Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi, the farsighted strategist who served as the brains of An Yaluoshan’s operations was clearly the bigger threat.

“It really is him!”

After killing Gao Shang, Wang Chong reached behind his back again, and the Trayastrimsa Heaven coalesced into another golden spear.

Gao Shang was dead, so only Yan Zhuang was left.

These were the two strategists at An Yaluoshan’s side. If they were killed, then even if An Yaluoshan got back alive, his threat would be greatly reduced without their assistance.

“Brat, don’t go too far!” Genesis Supreme’s callous voice came from overhead, loud and dignified. Golden light in the form of a comet hurtled toward Wang Chong.

“Careful!”

As the golden light descended, Wang Chong and his two seniors were ready, using their movement techniques to split off in three different directions.

Fortunately, Genesis Supreme was not focused on this matter. With a wave of his sleeve, he swept up the distant Yan Zhuang and then vanished into the void.

“You got lucky this time. Next time, there will be no one to protect you!” A faint voice came from the distance—the last trace of Genesis Supreme.

As Genesis Supreme disappeared, cavalry began to converge from all sides. The Wushang Cavalry, the City Guard, and numerous other experts gathered around. It was only now that the reinforcements had managed to arrive.

“Wang Chong, how are you doing?”

“These bastards would dare to appear here!?”

Zhangchou Jianqiong and King Song led the reinforcements.

The two had not been able to relax after Wang Chong left, so they had hastily made their own exit. They had come somewhat late, but they still immediately recognized those men in black who had aided the traitors in the Rebellion of the Three Princes.

“Come on! Don’t let them run!” King Song sternly said.

But Wang Chong quickly called out, “Wait! Don’t chase a fleeing enemy! Let them go!”

Wang Chong stopped the two of them.

Both King Song and Zhangchou Jianqiong knew only a part of the truth. They had no idea of just how terrifying those people really were. Scaring away Genesis Supreme was already the best-case scenario. Recklessly chasing after him would be incredibly dangerous and unpredictable.

“Come on; we’ll talk once we get back,” Wang Chong said.

King Song and Zhangchou Jianqiong exchanged an uncertain glance, but they still chose to trust Wang Chong.

Giving up on their target, the horses galloped back toward the capital.

……

One hundred li from the capital, thunder suddenly rumbled. In a flash of light, a bronze mirror the size of a palm appeared out of the void, radiating visible ripples of energy. The bronze mirror gave a sudden jolt and vanished, next appearing another one hundred li away.

Whoosh!

The bronze mirror shook as if someone was shaking out a large bag, and several figures emerged from it.

The moment his feet hit the ground, An Yaluoshan began to struggle and yell at Genesis Supreme.

“Release me! Release me at once! Why didn’t you kill him? Why didn’t you kill that brat?!”

Gao Shang was dead!

Gao Shang was actually dead!

The thought of this made An Yaluoshan gnash his teeth. If Genesis Supreme had listened to him and killed Wang Chong earlier, this never would have happened.

An Yaluoshan was overcome with wrath!

“If you want to die, I’ll throw you back to the capital right now! We can just find another ‘Child of the World’. Do you really think you’re irreplaceable?”

Genesis Supreme’s cold voice resounded through the world.

Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi felt their hearts chill, their bodies shivering all over. And the frenzied An Yaluoshan also instantly became much more composed.

“Hmph, you’ve finally calmed down?

“In front of a god, watch your words, An Yaluoshan!” Genesis Supreme rebuked, his voice icy and emotionless.

“My apologies. I was rash.”

An Yaluoshan finally suppressed his rage, lowering his head and admitting his errors.

Youzhou still did not have the strength to contend against the Great Tang. An Yaluoshan was keenly aware that he would find it hard to realize his aspirations without the help of these men in black.
