Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1978 Listen

He couldn\'t fathom what was happening.

One stream of information told him exactly how to move his body. The second told him exactly how to circulate his qi. The third told him the weakness of the attack he was facing.

His horsetail whisk lashed out and he felt that it was a bit awkward. He would definitely never use it like this. He had moved subconsciously, trusting a child for reasons even he didn\'t understand. But the moment he did, he regretted it.

Ryu had never used a horsetail whisk before. He knew nothing about it. It was only natural that he

had no idea how to make effective use of one.

The Fiend Gods seemed to realize the problem immediately as well. The Human Emperor had never been this unskilled. Was he just too heavily injured?

Regardless, they planned on capitalizing. It only took less than an instant for Dao Gods to analyze everything before them and realize the issue.

But the result...

The whisks lengthened, shooting through gaps in their defense that even they didn\'t notice.

The Coldfang Warden reacted first but was still lagging a bit. However, just as he was bracing for a hit, the whisk suddenly gained a flare of energy.

The hairs pulsed and suddenly changed directions, slapping down at Glaciel Ring\'s side just as he was about to take advantage.

Glaciel Ring\'s style in battle was very defensive. Even if he helped outnumber the Human Emperor, he was still a Middle God. The only reason he could participate in this battle at all was because of the Coldfang Warden, and the fact his Dao was focused on control and defense.

This time, he thought that things would be no different.

But he was wrong.

Very wrong.

BANG!

Glaciel Ring was sent flying, his body slamming into the ground heavily. At the same time, Coldfang Warden was retreating, his eyes widening as he realized he had been fooled.

\'I can decide if this weapon is good or trash...\' Ryu thought to himself, but he was already calculating the next steps, and then the next, then the next.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

His face was getting paler and paler, but he continued to press.

While Ryu directed the Human Emperor, his Chaos Qi surged, trying to suppress the control of the Fiends over the atmospheric qi in the surroundings.

This was the real reason the Chaotic Silk Meridians were so feared... the trouble was that Ryu shouldn\'t be capable of suppressing God-level Chaos Qi. However...

These people didn\'t have God-level Chaos Qi. They controlled qi far inferior to Chaos Qi. Ryu didn\'t

have to be able to control God-level Chaos Qi in order to suppress them.

More shocking than that, the awkward movements of the Human Emperor were becoming sharper and more defined as though Ryu was learning how to use the horsetail whisk in real time. The shock in the Human Emperor\'s heart was only growing with every passing moment when the hairs of his whisk suddenly sharpened, shredding into the heart of the Glaciel Ring.

\'Dammit...\' Ryu coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling his eyes dimming.

Tears of blood ran down his face, his inner organs feeling like they were shutting down.

Hope caught him, her face twisting with worry. He had already been past his limits when he appeared, but this was far too much.

The Human Emperor felt like he had lost his eyes when Ryu\'s support collapsed. However, he reacted quickly, pulling back his whisk and attacking the Coldfang Warden who had already been heavily injured by this point.

Ryu gasped for breath, feeling his vision blurring. The sounds of battle echoed in his ears, but he was inwardly cursing.

He had wanted to hold out until they both died. Now that he was losing his consciousness, there was no guarantee that the Human Emperor would be able to finish off the battle even with how injured the Coldfang Warden was.

This would also end up putting Hope in danger.

All this time, Hope had been protecting him from the shockwaves of the battle and the backlash she had suffered as a result was enough to piss him off. Unfortunately, he didn\'t have the strength to do much more than what he had already done.

It was then the situation changed once more. Ryu barely had the time to see a woman bathed in starlight descending from above, shattering apart the barriers that Coldfang Warden and Glaciel Ring had put up, before he collapsed.

Star River.

The Human Emperor, Star River, and Hope stood over the corpses of Dao Gods, gasping for breath. They were all at a huge disadvantage battling it out on the Chaos Plane, and it wasn\'t easy to kill a Dao God even under easy circumstances... which was both why it was so shocking what Ryu had managed to do against Glaciel Ring... and also why Coldfang Warden had managed to escape. Hope carried Ryu, blood leaking from the corner of her mouth.

"We need to go."

The two nodded and they all shot off into the distance.

The fact that Coldfang Warden had managed to escape was a huge problem. It likely wouldn\'t be very long before they were pursued. News was likely already being sent.

The good news was that they were much closer to the rainbow wall than before, both because the Human Emperor had been closer to begin with, and because the integrity of the wall was collapsing thanks to Ryu.

The bad news was that close was only relative...

Star River couldn\'t help but grumble inwardly. This boy was going to get her killed.
