Chapter 1173: Chapter 819 Who Do You Think You Are? (6K)_2
That was a gradually intensifying curse that robbed people of their reasoning after a certain age. Humans would ultimately turn into walking corpses. Under such circumstances, the continuation of humanity was already extremely difficult as if human lifespans were drastically reduced. That was what made it most troublesome. Old Lead could devour the curse, but it was, after all, a defensive measure. It could hardly be effective against an outsider’s curse.
"Don’t worry about the curse..." the Demigod Lanxiu responded, "I have been sitting here for several hundred years and have already devised a method to counter this curse. So, all you need to do is help me find that traitor."
"The traitor... the human king?"
"Yes, that traitor!" The voice of the Demigod Lanxiu was steady, yet filled with hatred, "Even after my defeat, he has not shown his face. He probably sensed that I could still shoot an arrow."
After being attacked by the Demigod Lanxiu, the human king disappeared without a trace.
Lanxiu had searched many times to no avail, only certain that he was still alive and hiding in some corner.
"As long as he does not die, I dare not..." The hatred in the Demigod Lanxiu’s voice grew more intense, "As long as he lives, I cannot rest assured about humanity!"
The human king was once the being he admired and respected the most. Yet the human king was a pawn of the gods, a proxy for a True God.
If he were alive, even if the curse disappeared, he could always bring humanity back into that cycle of reincarnation.
This was one of the reasons the Demigod Lanxiu had persisted until now. He dared not die; even if he had to, he would have to kill the human king first.
Even though he was sitting on this throne from which departure meant certain death, the Demigod Lanxiu still clenched his bow and arrows tightly.
It was so that, upon discovering the human king, he could shoot him down with one arrow, even at the cost of his own life.
This was an extremely domineering act!
No matter how far the human king was, as long as he showed up in this world, Lanxiu could shoot him down with one arrow!
That was the dominance and power of the Demigod Lanxiu!
But it seemed the human king had sensed this, for even hundreds of years after Lanxiu’s defeat, he had never once revealed even a hint of his presence.
Fearful that he would not appear until Lanxiu was completely dead.
Therefore, the Demigod Lanxiu asked Li Changhe to find the human king, so that he could rest in peace with his proud final arrow!
"In this vast world, I fear it’s quite difficult to accomplish. As I mentioned, we don’t have much time." Li Changhe reminded him.
"No, he’s not in another place, he’s right inside the original imperial palace of the human dynasty." the Demigod Lanxiu replied.
"The original imperial palace of the human dynasty? Isn’t that right in the Hundred Generals City?" Big Iron Pestle chimed in, "You actually know he’s there?"
"Decades ago, I detected a disturbance there. Perhaps that fellow reached some agreement with the gods, transforming the imperial palace into Hundred Generals City. I will not forget that cold and despicable sensation. He must be there!"
"Since he has been found, why then..." Xia Yun asked.
After a few seconds of silence, the Demigod Lanxiu solemnly replied, "I dare not attack that place recklessly, because it is the last Safe Zone for humans. Nowadays, more than eighty percent of humans reside in what you call the Hundred Generals City."
"Using fellow humans as a shield?" Wuji furrowed his brows, angered by the human king’s behavior. Taking a deep breath, he said, "So we need to force him out for you, while also getting a more precise location?"
"Exactly," the Demigod responded, "As soon as he reveals his presence, I will surely kill him!"
"Then what is his strength? Is he a Demigod?" Li Changhe asked, "If not a Demigod, there’s no need for you to act. You can just continue waiting here for humanity’s glory. We will kill him."
"Indeed, Lord Lanxiu. Don’t let appearances deceive you; I am quite strong too." Wuji nodded and gave a thumbs up.
The Copper Sword even voiced its praise, "It’s true, these two young individuals are the strongest mythical combination of warriors in our world."
It’s no exaggeration to say that when Li Changhe and Wuji join forces, they could give a Demigod a headache.
One is a descendant of Jiuli’s General, and the other is the current Xuanyuan Sword Master.
General and Xuanyuan together make a mythical combination that could never be realized in legend. The human king? They’d crush his head!
"I appreciate your kind intentions, but he indeed is a Demigod. Though I shattered a part of his Demigod throne, and he has not attempted to restore the throne these years to remain hidden, his strength might not return to its peak. But he is still a Demigod after all. Don’t take risks," Lanxiu replied, "Moreover, he will definitely not appear unless I die. So, I must go first... Only then can the next step of the plan proceed. I must die."
The players were taken aback, and Li Changhe and Wuji fell silent.
They didn’t wish to see this Demigod die.
Lanxiu had given everything for humanity. If he could continue to watch humanity develop, perhaps it would be a decent ending. He deserved a beautiful ending. That’s the respect due to a hero.
Unfortunately, many of the Demigod’s plans could only proceed after his death.
"So, what do you want to do?" Li Changhe asked softly, "If that traitor does not appear, how can you die?"
For the sake of killing the human king, Lanxiu had been unable to let himself die. But as long as Lanxiu lived, the human king would never appear. It was a deadlocked situation.
