Chapter 489: Strip!

Chen Ming laughed, “It seems you still don’t know who I am, but I am kind enough to let you reword your sentence.”

Nr. 6 laughed as well, “I’ve died countless times and each brought with it a new tiger thrall. You think I can’t kill you once in the eight times you try to kill me?”

“I urge you to be honest.”

Nr. 6 snapped, “You killed me once, and one of my tiger thrall is dead. I transferred my death to him, a Gold Immortal. If I don’t make you pay for this, I’ll never find peace. Plus, this is a rare chance to come by, that of a Faceless in the open!

“I have to admit, it never crossed my mind you can fake being a treasure and even make my Blades betray me. But it doesn’t matter because your death will be the ultimate price.”

“Done preaching? I gave you a chance but since you didn’t take it, guess I have to send you on your way.”

Chen Ming’s voice battered one’s ears and echoed throughout the stone room, “But stop spewing that chūnibyō crap. In my name as Chen Ming, Nine Lives Aura, strip!”

His words contained the power of Heaven.

This was the tyrannical power of the Wordless Curse!

Chen Ming passed Heavenly Dao’s test and earned the right to exert some of its power.

Nr. 6 felt his connection with the tiger thralls snapped and raged from shock, “Who the hell are you?”

He felt death breathing down his neck. Chen Ming was too intimidating. He only spoke a few words yet it isolated him from his tiger thralls. He wouldn’t be able to transfer death like this.

If he died, he’d stay dead.

Chen Ming’s hand rested on Nine Year Cicada, “No need to panic, you’ll know soon enough.”

Nr. 6 was stunned, “I see. You’re that reincarnated immortal, the most terrible of them all. If I can kill you, I will earn a fortune!”

Nr. 6 gripped his dagger as he faced Chen Ming.

Chen Ming linked with the star and soon felt a kind response from it, which made him laugh, “The stars do indeed shine for me!”

On his back, the Allheaven Stellar Array rose to crush everything around him. Nr. 6 recognized it, “You’re the offender.”

Chen Ming laughed, “No one will know.”

Nr. 6 showed an even sinister smile, “As cultivators, we all have our last words before death. No one will know indeed, since the world will not have you in it.”

Chen Ming sliced with demonic speed, right at Nr. 6!

Nr. 6 could feel the power of the saber, the Hegemonic Immortal Sword!

“Eastern Star Slaughter!”

He used his own special skill to fend off the impending danger.

They clashed and fell back half a step each, as Chen Ming laughed, “Wowie, so amazing to reach small success in a grand immortal art!”

Space ruptured in front of their weapons. If not for the star’s power, Chen Ming wasn’t certain he could take Nr. 6 on.

He smiled, “In the Galaxy, I am even more amazing then when passing my tribulation. I will let you have a taste of this, trice Hegemonic Immortal Sword!”

He swung again with raging spiritual power.

Nr. 6 sucked in a breath and faced it with all his immortal power.

3,000 strands of starlight gathered on Nine Year Cicada and bolstered its power.

Their clash collapsed the ground for a thousand li around. It was Apocalypse, with the rivers reversing course and the space cracking.

This was the reason Chen Ming refrained from relying on blinking swords. He just wasn’t capable of using them in such a situation, not to mention Nr. 6 would never give him the chance.

Their fight could be classified as a Gold Immortal battle, uh, the weakest of course.

The moment Chen Ming’s first hit fell, the second came, making Nr. 6 spit blood yet he couldn’t stop him even with his dagger.

Chen Ming flung the dagger and saw the rage in Nr. 6’s eyes, “Damn it! If not for you, no one can kill him, no one can kill my reincarnation!”

As the final strike landed, Nr. 6’s body collapsed again, with golden blood spilling on the earth.

He didn’t get up this time as Nine Year Cicada sucked his soul with greed.

Chen Ming eyed the blade, A true soul weapon.

He sheathed it and picked up Nr. 6’s mask.

He replaced his with Nr. 6’s, connected with it and made his shadow form above the city, surveying the destruction they caused.

Countless Blades were rushing for the hall when, below the crescent moon, they saw Chen Ming’s shadow. They were lost as to what to do next.

Chen Ming noticed the white jasmine and waved for his spiritual power to swirl the petals to his hand. He spoke, “According to Crownless Assembly’s customs, when a Faceless dies, he should be sent off with white petals.”

Chen Ming spread the white jasmine as one Blade couldn’t cope with the dread and kneeled. All of them knew their Faceless was replaced.

The rule of these parts had shifted to another.

Chen Ming continued, “Spread the word, there is a new Faceless in town.”

One by one, they all kneeled, “We greet Faceless!”

The bosses settled their battle and there was nothing underlings like them could do about it. No one wanted to throw their life away.

Chen Ming was pleased by the outcome, “Open the path to the Three-headed Dragon Constellation and inform the guarding general there to kill all the incoming rebels!”
