The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1180 - 736: Heavenly Martial King’s Ambition (Part 2)

Chapter 1180: Chapter 736: Heavenly Martial King’s Ambition (Part 2)

The voice said.

"Uh, actually I’ve only been in Metropolis for about ten days."

He shrugged.

"Only ten days? Then these must have been quite extraordinary ten days. High Priest."

The voice said.

"Yes, Great King."

The masked man floated away, and shortly returned carrying a square table, placing it in front of Liu Zheng.

"This is the wine brewed by the local villagers here. Although it may not match the fine wine you brought, it has its own unique flavor. There are also some rustic delicacies that others might not be able to eat, but surely you won’t have a problem."

The voice said.

"Why?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Your Bloodline is far more domineering than some Dragon Energy."

The voice replied.

"Ahaha, then I appreciate the Great King’s kindness."

Since the host had spoken as such, he didn’t stand on ceremony, sat down on the ground, and started eating directly.

To be fair, those dried meats and preserved fruits were indeed quite tasty, detectable as devoid of added technology and calculated effort.

The wine was average, with too strong a fruity taste, neither like wine nor juice.

However, Liu Zheng wasn’t a picky person, and drank it all without changing his expression.

Once satisfied with food and drink, he began recounting his experiences since entering the Metropolis.

These past ten days were indeed thrilling and full of ups and downs, even after excluding many unspeakable things and summarizing extremely succinctly, he still spoke for over two hours.

Despite exceeding the delivery time, Liu Zheng had no way around it.

After all, since his host hadn’t turned hostile directly, he couldn’t just unsheathe his knife and charge.

Besides, the opponent was capable of using a True Dragon corpse as a foundation, and even if he transformed into a White Feather Chicken, he might not be able to handle it, losing his last card in the process.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng shut his mouth.

"Why did you stop speaking?"

The voice asked.

"The deadline has passed. If I cannot take away the Nine Dragon Heaven Centipede, I’m afraid I won’t escape death when I return. Thinking of this, I no longer have the heart to tell stories. Alas!"

He sighed deeply.

"You dare take this task, surely you have some reliance."

The voice goaded.

"I wouldn’t say reliance, but I have made some preparations."

He humbly replied.

"It will only get stronger."

He said confidently.

"Then take one move from me, let’s see."

The coffin lid opened, and a bronze sword approximately a meter long flew out from the coffin, thrusting towards Liu Zheng.

Even though the sword wasn’t fast, he felt the sword light seemed to come from all directions, ubiquitous.

No matter which direction he dodged, he would ultimately be ambushed from another direction.

The only way to respond was to neither dodge nor avoid, but to take this move head-on.

"Warning, the player is controlled by an unknown skill, most displacement abilities and items cannot be used!"

At this moment, the system’s alert sounded.

"Truly a master."

Liu Zheng thought silently.

The fact that the system would take the initiative to warn, meant the opponent was at least as strong as Garcia, whom he defeated only by enlisting Dragonfly Captain’s help and exhausting countless trump cards.

Not to mention whether Liu Zheng’s White Feather Chicken form or even the White Feather Chicken itself could defeat Garcia was hard to say.

Thankfully, the voice only asked him to take one move.

"Eh?"

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

Indeed, he only needed to take one move.

Confronting an unavoidable sword, Liu Zheng simply stood still, facing it calmly.

He even had the leisure to observe the inscriptions on the sword, as if what was flying towards him wasn’t a world-class deadly weapon, but a weak and beautiful peach blossom.

Faced with Liu Zheng’s unusual actions, the voice did not hold back, the bronze sword pierced directly through his chest.

Countless threads of Infinite Sword Qi erupted from his body, just as they were about to shred Liu Zheng to pieces, his cloak suddenly emitted a dazzling yet gentle yellow light.

"Five Virtues of Benevolence: The first fatal damage dealt by the enemy to the player is reduced to near-death damage, the player’s first fatal damage to the enemy is reduced to near-death damage."

The golden character "Benevolence" floated above his head, absorbing the exploding Sword Qi like a magnet, then got shredded into spots of dim light.

And Liu Zheng wasn’t in good shape either.

Every joint, every meridian, every tendon had been severed by the Sword Qi, though not dead, he had completely lost the ability to act.

"Phoenix Five Virtues? It seems you weren’t lying just now."

The voice said in slight surprise.

"In the world, it’s all about honesty."

Liu Zheng managed a difficult smile.

Whether intentionally or not, the Sword Qi avoided his head.

"Neither will I break my word. Since you’ve taken one sword from me, I’ll grant you a chance to take away the Nine Dragon Heaven Centipede."

The voice said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Great King."

"You still haven’t announced your name."

The voice said.

"Reporting to the Great King, my name is Liu Zheng, I’m the Deputy Minister and deliveryman of the Bloody Restaurant’s delivery department."

Liu Zheng introduced himself.

"Surely, your delivery department does not consist of only you and the Minister?"

"Hehe, Great King you see things with sharp insight."

He said awkwardly.

"You may call me the Heavenly Martial King, this is my Prime Minister and High Priest, Ziming."

The voice said.

"Salutations to His Majesty Heavenly Martial King, Greetings to Lord Ziming."

Liu Zheng said solemnly.

Sitting upright when he couldn’t kneel or bow, easily letting these two take some verbal advantage.

"In life I cultivated martial arts, reaching the Human Immortal Realm, yet subjected to the pressure of national power and Ziwei Star Power, unable to advance further."

"Thus I plotted to ambush and kill the True Dragon, then used the True Dragon’s corpse as a foundation to build the Emperor’s Tomb, working painstakingly relocating the Emperor’s Tomb into Metropolis, severing ties with national power and the Ziwei Star, just waiting for me to completely absorb the True Dragon’s essence and turn from ’yin’ to ’yang’, dead and resurrected, to break through Martial Arts cultivation to an unprecedented realm."

"Yet the cemetery’s Yin energy is indeed too heavy, sustaining the Emperor’s Tomb’s thousand-year operation, but causing the impossibility of turning ’yin’ to ’yang’."

"I can only continue lying in this coffin, becoming a living dead for unknown years more."

The Heavenly Martial King said.

"Great King, do you want me to help move your tomb?"

Liu Zheng grasped the implication from the tune.

"Impossible to move, once the Emperor’s Tomb leaves the cemetery it will vanish."

The Heavenly Martial King replied.

"Then what?"

"Since you need the Nine Dragon Heaven Centipede, surely someone wishes to tread the path of turning ’yin’ into ’yang’, dead and resurrected."

The Heavenly Martial King said.

"Uh, I’m not sure either, but it’s probably not what you think."

Not mentioning the disparity in strength, the president of the Writers Association is just facing an ’unfortunate end of life,’ not necessarily close to true death.

"Whether it is or isn’t, must be asked to know."

The Heavenly Martial King wouldn’t give up.

"Fine, I’ll ask for you when I get out." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Liu Zheng had no choice but to say.

"Good, that’s the first task. The second task, I need the Nine Dragon Heaven Centipede to anchor my coffin, if you want to take away the Nine Dragon Heaven Centipede, you need to return to me an item to anchor the coffin."

The Heavenly Martial King said.

"What item can be used to anchor the coffin?"

He asked.

"I have already found it."

The Heavenly Martial King finished, and the High Priest walked to Liu Zheng’s side, removing the Headless Mandarin Duck Pouch from his pocket.

The High Priest then flicked his fingers, the Headless Mandarin Duck Pouch fractured, spilling its contents.

"This sword is a Taoist treasure, full of yang energy, perfect for anchoring the coffin."

As the voice of the Heavenly Martial King echoed, the Three Five Evil Slayer Hero Sword ascended, suspended over the Emperor’s Coffin.

"Uh, Great King, this sword is not mine, if you take it I cannot report back. Moreover, if you take it, why destroy things, storage equipment is hard to come by."

Liu Zheng complained.

"I know, that’s why I need this item to anchor the coffin. Although I believe all you’ve said is true, for such a major matter, there must certainly be an object as a token. As for storage equipment, High Priest, give him that ring I used as a child."

The Heavenly Martial King commanded.

"Yes, Great King."

The High Priest removed a copper ring from his sleeve and placed it on Liu Zheng’s tentacle, immediately the item description popped up.

"Name: Sumeru Storage Ring"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Can store items of approximately fifteen cubic meters (cannot store living or fleshy items)."

"Note: An egg is still a chicken, fishgrass is also fishy!"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
