Chapter 704 Red Clothes (1/2)

Swish!

Above a certain county in the now chaotic Great Wu Empire.

The sound of rushing wind rang out as a ray of light flashed past in an extremely anxious manner.

The ray of light was a Spirit. It was surrounded by two halos that continuously absorbed the surrounding Genesis Qi.

This Spirit naturally belonged to King Wu.

He was currently fleeing like mad, fear flooding his face as his gaze constantly darted behind him. He could sense Zhou Yuan chasing him at full speed.

“That damned spawn of the Zhou clan!”

King Wu’s heart was filled with rage. He had swept through the Cangmang Continent like an unstoppable flood for so many years and built an impressive reputation for himself. When had he ever fled in such a pathetic manner?

“I should have killed that babe on the altar back then!”

King Wu had already repeated similar words countless times, making it clear just how much he hated Zhou Yuan at this juncture.

He was naturally aware of the chaos in the Great Wu Empire while he fled, but he did not dare to stop and give any commands. Due to Zhou Yuan’s dogged persistence, he would surely catch up to King Wu the moment he stopped.

Moreover, the other forces in the Great Wu Empire was incapable of stopping the Divine Dwelling stage Zhou Yuan.

Hence, even while knowing that the Great Wu Empire urgently required his presence, King Wu had no choice but to continue running for his life. After all, the Great Wu Empire would also be finished if he was slain by Zhou Yuan.

“It seems that I’ll have to lure him to the capital. I have made some preparations there that may be able to stop him.” King Wu’s eyes flickered in thought. He had a secret treasure in the capital that could recover his physical body. When that happened, he only needed to borrow the homeground advantage to beat back Zhou Yuan.

While such thoughts swirled in his head, King Wu cast away any hesitation. The Divine Dwelling stage halos emitted a radiant glow as his speed abruptly soared, turning him into a streak of light that soon disappeared into the horizon.

About half an incense stick after King Wu vanished, Zhou Yuan’s figure appeared in the sky. His eyes narrowed as he gazed in the direction of King Wu’s Genesis Qi undulations.

“The capital of the Great Wu Empire huh…

“It appears that you’ve yet to give up…

“Well I’m interested to find out how you’ll be able to make a comeback!”

Chilling killing intent flashed in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. This was the best opportunity to kill King Wu. To prevent any future problems, there was absolutely no way he would let King Wu off.

Swoosh!

Golden Genesis Qi exploded as Zhou Yuan transformed into a streak of gold that rocketed in the direction of the Great Wu capital city.

...

King Wu’s Spirit stood in the sky above the capital. The city had already become a chaotic mess, evidently due to the news of The Great Wu Empire’s defeat.

King Wu’s expression was somewhat sorrowful as he recalled how grand of a sight it had been when he led the army out of this very city. Who could have expected that he would ultimately return alone like a dog that had been chased from its home.

“Cursed spawn of the Zhou clan, I will make you pay!”

King Wu’s voice was filled with resentment. After taking a deep breath, he decided to tarry no further. His Spirit had already grown quite sparse over the past few days, and without any Spirit nourishing items of a physical body, his Spirit would likely disappear from this world.

“I have a treasure called the Treasure Lotus Paste in the royal treasury that can reconstruct one’s body. This is the best time to use it.” King Wu’s Spirit moved, flying straight towards the royal palace as he rushed towards the treasury.

The treasury was a restricted area, and should have been tightly guarded. However, King Wu was puzzled to find that there were no guards to be seen, an observation that infuriated him. Could the guards have rebelled?

Most importantly, the treasury had best be untouched!
