Chapter 1492 — This Debt of Gratitude Is Not Yet Repaid
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
A flicker of excitement shone in his eyes, but he calmly suppressed it. The Ancestor God King had fulfilled his long-cherished wish and killed Hong Tianzun; Lord Heaven was dead too, and Lord Heaven's mortal body and the Way of Heaven were about to fall into his grasp — hence he had relaxed his vigilance and his guard. Fire Tianzun would not make that mistake. Fire Tianzun crooked his index finger, and with a sudden crack the Ancestor God King's right leg bent as well — though not in the direction a knee bends.
The Ancestor God King's leg folded backward, snapping with a crack! The Ancestor God King grunted, raised his head, and looked at him with a cold smile. "Fire Tianzun, you dare kill me?
The demigods have three leaders, and I am one of them. Kill me, and will Langxuan and Hao Tianzun let you off?
Ah, yes — you think you can seize Lord Heaven's mortal body and take the Way of Heaven. Heh.
You have not the ability.
You do not have Lord Heaven's bloodline.
. . " Fire Tianzun hesitated a moment, then curled his middle finger; the Ancestor God King's left arm snapped with a crack.
The pain sent tears streaming down his face, and the Way fire evaporated them at once! The Ancestor God King endured the pain and laughed.
"You and I are the same kind. Does tormenting me not give you the feeling of one of a kind grieving for its own?
" Fire Tianzun snorted coldly. "With you gone, no one else can contend with me for Lord Heaven, or for the Way of Heaven. " His gaze strange, he curled his third finger; the Ancestor God King's left leg snapped with a crack, and the pain sent tears streaming down his face.
"Once I refine the Way of Heaven, and add to it the cultivation and dharma power I refined from the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird, my strength will rise at a stroke to the pinnacle of the Ten Tianzun, and attaining the Heavenly Court realm will be easy. " Fire Tianzun curled his little finger; the Ancestor God King's right arm broke.
"Once I attain the Heavenly Court, I need no longer rely on the strength of any of you.
On the contrary, you weathercocks will come to kneel to me, to worship me. . . " His thumb was about to curl; once that finger closed, his palm would become a fist, and the Ancestor God King's neck would snap! Just then, the Ancestor God King raised his head and looked past him, smiling a smile that was not quite a smile.
Fire Tianzun's eye twitched. He stepped forward and took the Ancestor God King by the arm, saying with concern, "The God King is wounded?
So Hong Tianzun was Lord Heaven's reincarnation? Damn him, to wound the God King so!
Fortunately Hong Tianzun has already been executed. .
. " The Ancestor God King coughed up blood; the Way fire on his body had, without his noticing, gone out.
He laughed. "Thanks to Fire Tianzun arriving in time to help me slay Hong Tianzun, Lord Heaven did not escape. Brother Hao, when did you arrive?
" Fire Tianzun helped the Ancestor God King to his feet, turned, and saw Hao Tianzun.
Suddenly his eye twitched again; his gaze fell on the space behind Hao Tianzun, and his expression shifted slightly. Hao Tianzun smiled.
"Fire Tianzun, what do you see? " Fire Tianzun withdrew his gaze and said mildly, "Another Hao Tianzun.
" He could not help looking again toward Taisu behind Hao Tianzun; what he saw was not Hao Tianzun, but another youth — a youth of peerless grace, unmatched in all ages.
Yu Tianzun, who had died at the Jade Pool Festival. At that moment Gong Tianzun stepped in. Her gaze fell on Fire Tianzun, then turned to the Ancestor God King, whose four limbs were all broken.
Fire Tianzun's heart tightened. Hao Tianzun looked at him with appreciation. "Worthy of being my most loyal minister.
How could I fail to employ a loyal subject and righteous man like you?
" Fire Tianzun bowed slightly.
"I am willing to serve Brother Hao with all my strength.
