Book 5: Chapter 146: Black Angels
The Heaven Blasting Cannons protected Gu Hai as he approached Yehua. It looked like Yehua would be captured soon.
“How audacious! How bold of you to cause trouble in Heaven City!” A shout suddenly came from a distant palace hall emanating black energy.
Whoos.h.!.+
Hundreds of black angel feathers instantly shot over at an extreme speed with great power. Each carried the might of a Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator’s attack.
“Your Majesty, be careful!” Mu Chenfeng exclaimed as his expression changed.
“Elder Lu Fa, save me!” Yehua roared with joy on his face.
The hundreds of black feathers looked like they would shoot Gu Hai dead.
Gu Hai’s expression turned cold. “One Vine Birthing a World!”
A vine suddenly came out from behind Gu Hai. Then, the vine split into millions of vines, forming a large s.h.i.+eld.
Rumble…!
The hundreds of black feathers struck the vine s.h.i.+eld, blocked.
Gu Hai extended his hand and landed a palm strike on Yehua.
Blargh!
Yehua spewed a mouthful of blood. Then, Gu Hai pulled hard, dragging him over.
Rumble…!
Ten figures immediately appeared above Gu Hai, giving off surging black energy. This seemed to be the polar opposite of the ordinary holy light that the angels usually gave off.
“Eight wings? They all have eight wings?” Sima Changkong’s expression suddenly changed.
“Black wings? Why do these angels have black wings?” Long Sanqian’s face sank.
“Fallen angels? Right?” Gu Hai said with a cold smile as he held Yehua.
“How dare you, zealot?! How dare you capture the second young master?!” the ten eight-winged angels yelled as they glared.
Six-winged angels were Middle Heavenly Palace cultivators, so the eight-winged angels were Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators.
The ten eight-winged angels’ auras were overwhelming.
The expression of Ao Shun, who was fighting in the sky, suddenly changed.
“Humph!” Yanxuan showed a cold smile.
Boom!
We are Hosted Novel, find us on google.
Two palm strikes clashed, and the battle ended, as a few of the eight-winged angels were already glaring at Ao Shun.
“First Elder Lu Fa, we have interrupted your closed-door cultivation,” Yanxuan said gravely.
[TL Note: Lu Fa is likely the Lucifer equivalent, which would be Lu Xi Fa in Chinese. Lucifer is the name of the devil in the Bible before it was Satan. According to the Bible, Lucifer was an archangel who rebelled against G.o.d. As a result, Lucifer and the angels that followed him were cast out of heaven and became demons. Here is the Wikipedia entry on Satan/Lucifer: leader among the ten eight-winged angels had long hair. He showed a sullen expression at this moment as he looked at Gu Hai. Then, he turned and asked Yanxuan, “First Young Master, what happened?”
“This person is Gu Hai. I believe everyone understands now?” Yanxuan said with a cold smile.
“Oh?” Lu Fa looked at Gu Hai coldly.
Ao Shun’s figure flashed, arriving before Gu Hai. “Hall Master, this subordinate is incapable. I failed.”
“It doesn’t matter. I did not expect there to be so many fallen angels,” Gu Hai said.
“Fallen angels?” Lu Fa narrowed his eyes slightly at Gu Hai.
“The angels are characterized by holiness. You have a sinister aura. If you are not fallen angels, then what are you?” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Hall Master, I feel they are all in the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. However…however, they seem to be in the early stage,” Ao Shun said.
“Fallen angels? Hah! They are black angels. Gu Hai, look at what you provoked. These angels cultivated evil techniques and forcefully pushed their cultivation to the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. Furthermore, there is a group of them. What are you going to do now?” Long Aotian immediately criticized Gu Hai.
“Long Aotian, aren’t you very capable? If you really are that capable, feel free to leave on your own first!” Gu Hai looked at Long Aotian coldly.
Long Aotian refused to heed his commands and now criticized him. A cold glint flashed in Gu Hai’s eyes.
“Leave alone? Aren’t you leaving?” Long Aotian’s face sank.
“Yehua is in my hand. Why should I leave?” Gu Hai said.
Long Aotian’s expression turned stiff.
Long Aotian did indeed have a trump card. Otherwise, Gu Hai would not have asked him to attack earlier. His trump card was a jiangchen zombie. He had exposed it when he used it to deal with Imperial Emperor Xi Yu.
However, there was now a group of black angels. Even if Long Aotian had the jiangchen zombie, attempting to flee would still be dangerous.
“Humph!” Long Aotian snorted coldly.
“Quickly let go of me! Otherwise, you will die a horrible death!” Yehua yelled anxiously as he glared.
“Second Young Master? You are wrong. If I let you go, then I would die a horrible death!” Gu Hai said with a cold smile.
As Gu Hai spoke, three of the nearby black angels disappeared with a flash.
“Hall Master, be careful!” Ao Shun’s expression changed. Two black angels suddenly appeared in front of him.
Boom!
When the two black angels arrived before Ao Shun, they each threw a punch.
Ao Shun quickly moved back.
At the same time, Lu Fa instantly appeared behind Gu Hai and sent a palm strike at Gu Hai’s back.
Gu Hai had spent three years in the Asura Path Secret Realm killing. His Soul Energy was now powerful, and his gut instinct was astonis.h.i.+ng. He immediately sensed a threat behind him, so he promptly operated the Vine World Calabash. Countless vines instantly formed a s.h.i.+eld behind him.
Boom!
Lu Fa’s palm strike landed on the vine s.h.i.+eld. Even so, a significant amount of force leaked through.
Blargh!
Gu Hai spewed a mouthful of blood.
“Argh!”
A miserable cry rang out through the entire Heaven City. It was not from Gu Hai but Yehua.
When Gu Hai vomited blood, he had torn off the two wings on Yehua’s back.
Bang!
As Gu Hai tossed out two b.l.o.o.d.y wings, Yehua screamed in despair.
“Second Young Master!” the black angels cried out as their expressions changed.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Lu Fa glared.
When Lu Fa sneak-attacked Gu Hai, the vine s.h.i.+eld had blocked his attack. While Lu Fa hesitated in surprise, Gu Hai had unexpectedly torn off Yehua’s wings.
“Haha! First Elder Lu Fa, right? Try again. Every time you try, I’ll tear out more of him. It was just the wings earlier. Next might be the hands, legs, or head. Let’s see what I can reduce him to!” Gu Hai said with a ferocious expression. There was still some blood in his mouth.
“How dare you?!” Lu Fa glared.
“Gu Hai, let go of Yehua, and I’ll let you go!” Yanxuan glared as well.
“Don’t listen to him! His words cannot be trusted!” Long Aotian called out anxiously, worried that Gu Hai would make a stupid mistake.
“Go? Who said that I was leaving? Humph! Move aside!” Gu Hai shouted coldly.
The black angels looked at Gu Hai coldly, showing no intention of moving aside.
“Do you think that I don’t dare to continue ripping him apart?” Gu Hai showed a ferocious expression as he reached for Yehua’s right arm.
“Move aside!” Yanxuan suddenly appeared anxious.
Only after this did the angels move aside reluctantly.
“I warn you. Yehua has already revived once. If he dies again, no one can save him!” Gu Hai said coldly.
The eyelids of the black angels twitched wildly. They did not dare to risk Yehua’s life. However, they still surrounded Gu Hai, not letting him leave.
“What are you looking at? Go quickly! Go and inform the veritable lord!” Lu Fa glared at the four-winged angels.
“Yes! Yes!”
A group of four-winged angels immediately flapped their wings and left.
“Let’s go, Gu Hai. They don’t dare to do anything to us. You have Yehua in your hands; no one will dare to touch you. Let’s go!” Long Aotian urged anxiously.
Once the Supreme Genesis arrived, his group would no longer be able to leave. They needed to go right away.
Gu Hai smiled faintly, ignoring Long Aotian.
“Go down!” Gu Hai said to Mu Chenfeng.
Mu Chenfeng looked at Gu Hai and immediately realized something. He showed shock on his face, understanding what Gu Hai wanted to do.
Mu Chenfeng controlled the flying s.h.i.+p to bring everyone down.
The black angels and Yanxuan continued surrounding Gu Hai, not letting him leave.
Gu Hai did not leave. Instead, he flew to Heaven City’s center.
“What are they trying to do?” Lu Fa said in shock.
“I don’t know?” Yanxuan appeared confused.
More angels surrounded Gu Hai’s flying s.h.i.+p, making any chance of escape slimmer.
“Yanxuan, do you want to save Yehua?” Gu Hai smiled coldly.
“Gu Hai, what do you want?” Yanxuan glared at Gu Hai.
“You can get Yehua back. Just bring Bing Ji to exchange for him!” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Bing Ji?” Yanxuan’s expression changed as he understood what Gu Hai wanted.
Gu Hai did so much just to save Bing Ji?
“Humph! What a smitten fool! Unfortunately, Bing Ji is not in Heaven City. She is imprisoned in the Solar Divine Palace,” Yanxuan said coldly.
“Then, go to the Solar Divine Palace and bring Bing Ji here. I’ll exchange Yehua for Bing Ji,” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Do you think the Solar Divine Palace is my home? Do you think I can just bring Bing Ji out whenever I want?” Yanxuan asked coldly.
“That’s none of my business. I only want Bing Ji!” Gu Hai retorted coldly.
Now, the flying s.h.i.+p had already reached the center of Heaven City.
“Gu Hai, you are crazy! You are challenging the entire Solar Divine Palace for Bing Ji?!” Long Aotian exclaimed while glaring.
Gu Hai ignored Long Aotian, only looking coldly at Yanxuan.
“Let go of Yehua first!” Yanxuan said coldly.
“Humph! We will wait here. We will release Yehua when we see Bing Ji!” Gu Hai said coldly.
As Gu Hai spoke, he waved his hand.
Countless vines erupted behind Gu Hai, spreading over the place. They even covered the area under him, forming a colossal vine barrier.
Boom!
The vines even enclosed the Revival Pool below.
“Guard the surroundings. They can’t escape!” Lu Fa said coldly.
“Is Gu Hai crazy? The Eastern Monarch just imprisoned Bing Ji. Why would he change his order for Yehua?” another elder said anxiously.
“There’s no need to worry. Gu Hai is seeking his own death. As long as he does not leave, he can forget about leaving,” Yanxuan said coldly.
------
Inside the vine barrier:
Many vines bound Yehua.
“Gu Hai, are you crazy? Wait here? The Supreme Genesis will return soon. When he does, you can’t leave even if you want to!” Long Aotian yelled while glaring.
Ao Shun also felt slightly anxious.
However, Long Sanqian and Sima Changkong looked at Gu Hai with curiosity. “Mister Gu, did you do that on purpose? But why?”
“Your Majesty, I really…,” Mu Chengfeng said, somewhat incredulous.
“That’s right. Long Sanqian told me about it earlier. The Revival Pool contains a boundless power of faith. Our spiritual souls are too strong. We cannot let it break our lower heavenly palace. The power of faith here is the best thing for us to forge the largest lower heavenly palace we can,” Gu Hai said.
“Ah?” Long Sanqian felt slightly startled.
“Yes!” the Elite Hall disciples said excitedly.
“This subordinate did not dare to make a breakthrough because of this. Initially, I was ready to prepare for three to five years before breaking through to the Lower Heavenly Palace Realm. Now, we have the power of faith, rich nourishment for the lower heavenly palace. I can immediately break through,” Mu Chenfeng said excitedly.
“Humph! Do you think that it is that easy for a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to break into the Lower Heavenly Palace Realm?” Long Aotian scoffed.
“With this opportunity, it will be that easy,” Gu Hai said confidently.
