308: Chapter 308 The Art of Deception: The Old Demon Bows Down to the Hidden Blade

"Senior, save us! I beg you, Senior, save us!"

When Dao Monarch Yun Xing saw Blood Bone Old Demon rush over to hug his leg, he realized what was happening too. He scrambled over, grabbing Su Changge's other leg, and the two of them clung to him, one on each side, crying with snot and tears streaming down their faces.

"Senior, your Divine Ability is vast, you must have a way to stabilize the space! I beg you to act, Senior! From now on, we will certainly follow your lead! We will do whatever you ask!"

The two of them cried so miserably that they wiped their tears and snot all over Su Changge's pants.

Su Changge's mouth twitched; he almost kicked these two idiots away.

【Damn it, are you two disgusting or what? You wiped your snot and tears on my pants! I just changed these!】

【If I could stabilize the space, I would have acted already! I'm just a piece of trash at the Qi Refining First Layer, what could I possibly do? I'm scared to death myself, okay?】

Su Changge complained frantically in his heart, but on the surface, he had to keep up the act.

He lightly flicked his sleeves, and a gentle force directly threw Blood Bone Old Demon and Dao Monarch Yun Xing away. Of course, this wasn't his power; it was the aftermath of the Saintly Purple Qi Across Thirty Thousand Miles special effect automatically matched by the System.

Su Changge glanced at the two of them indifferently, his tone as calm as stagnant water.

"What are you panicking about? It is merely a breath of the Dao of this realm, what is there to make such a fuss about?"

Huh?

Blood Bone Old Demon and Dao Monarch Yun Xing were completely dumbfounded, frozen in place, forgetting even to cry.

A breath of the Dao?

What kind of ghost thing is that?

They had lived for nearly a hundred thousand years, heard of the Laws of the Dao, heard the transmission of the Dao, but they had never heard that the Dao could breathe.

"Se-Senior, what did you say? A breath of the Dao?"

Blood Bone Old Demon swallowed his saliva and spoke cautiously, fearing he had misheard.

"Otherwise, what did you think it was?"

Su Changge lifted his eyes indifferently, looked at the spatial rift in the sky with his hands behind his back, looking completely matter-of-fact.

"The operation of the Dao follows its own Laws. Between a breath in and a breath out, space fluctuates and stars shift. Isn't that a perfectly normal thing?"

Anyway, there's no tax on bragging. These two idiots had never seen a True Immortal, let alone come into contact with things at the level of the Dao, so he could just make it up, and they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Su Changge felt completely steady inside, his expression grew even more indifferent, and he even revealed a trace of disdain, as if to say, "You Mortals really are ignorant."

Blood Bone Old Demon and Dao Monarch Yun Xing exchanged a glance, both seeing extreme shock and admiration in the other's eyes.

My god!

So this heaven-collapsing and earth-shattering phenomenon was actually a breath of the Dao?

Senior actually knows about the breath of the Dao? Then what level has his strength reached?

At least above a True Immortal, right? No! Even a True Immortal might not be able to perceive the breath of the Dao! Senior might be a legendary Great Emperor, or even a big shot in the Dao Enlightenment Realm!

The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, and their eyes were practically sparkling as they looked at Su Changge.

Following such an awesome big shot, never mind a broken ancient ruin collapsing, even if the sky were to fall, the big shot would be there to hold it up!

The fear from just a moment ago vanished completely. The two old demons scrambled up from the ground, stood up straight, and stood behind Su Changge, acting like foxes borrowing the tiger's might. Looking at the spatial rift above, they weren't panicked at all.

Blood Bone Old Demon even dared to reach out to touch the spatial turbulence drifting by. Of course, he retracted his hand as soon as he touched it because it burned, but he still smiled triumphantly.

"So that's how it is! I said it! How could the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins suddenly shake for no reason? It turns out it was the breath of the Dao! I've learned something! I've truly learned something!"

"It's great to follow Senior. If Senior weren't here today, we might have thought the sky was falling and been scared to death. Now it seems it's just a trivial matter."

The two old demons flattered him one after another, and the flattery made Su Changge feel a little embarrassed.

【Damn, are these two guys really that stupid? They believe whatever nonsense I make up? And they're going overboard with the flattery?】

【But that's fine, saves me the trouble of explaining. Maintaining the persona is most important.】

Su Changge breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He slightly raised his hand.

The System instantly matched the Saintly Purple Qi Across Thirty Thousand Miles special effect. A faint purple halo emanated from his body and slowly spread outwards.

Those falling meteorite chunks turned into dust instantly upon touching the purple halo.

The incoming spatial turbulence was directly repelled upon touching the purple halo.

Even the dozens-of-meters-long spatial rift above, under the shroud of the purple halo, actually healed slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, the City Lord's Mansion, which had been heaven-collapsing and earth-shattering just moments ago, returned to calm, without even the slightest tremor.

Blood Bone Old Demon and Dao Monarch Yun Xing were dumbfounded watching this. They stood stunned for a long time, then fell to their knees with a "thud," kowtowing loudly.

"Senior's Divine Might! Senior's strength reaches the heavens! To be able to follow Senior is a blessing we've cultivated for eight lifetimes!"

"Senior can actually influence the operation of the Dao! Such strength, you can't find a second person in the entire cultivation world!"

The two of them spoke with fanaticism; their awe of Su Changge had seeped into their very bones.

Even the remnant soul of the Ancient War God, looking at the purple halo on Su Changge, had eyes full of shock. He bowed slightly to Su Changge, and with a flash, retreated back into the secret chamber, without even a hint of resistance.

Commander Zhao was kneeling on the ground, not even daring to lift his head, without the slightest doubt about Su Changge's words.

Su Changge watched everyone's reaction, overjoyed in his heart, but remained indifferent and relaxed on the surface, as if he had just done something insignificant.

"Alright, get up. It was just a small matter, why make such a fuss."

Su Changge waved his hand indifferently and turned to walk towards the secret chamber.

"Didn't you want to get the Shattering Star Art? Let's go."

"Yes! Senior!"

Blood Bone Old Demon and Dao Monarch Yun Xing scrambled up from the ground, following behind Su Changge, their attitude as respectful as it could possibly be.

However, Dao Monarch Yun Xing, who was walking behind, quietly reached into his robe, touched the cold Formation Plate, and a flash of malice quickly crossed his eyes.

Just now, when Su Changge stabilized the space and released so much purple Qi, he must have consumed quite a bit of his Origin power, right?

Now he had no other guards around him, only Commander Zhao, and he had set up an Astral Cage throughout the City Lord's Mansion. As long as he crushed the Formation Plate, he could instantly imprison the space and cut off Spiritual Qi.

By then, no matter how awesome Su Changge was, without Spiritual Qi, he wouldn't be able to use his Divine Ability, and the Shattering Star Art would be his!

Dao Monarch Yun Xing's excitement grew; his fingertips were already pressing on the protrusion of the Formation Plate; with just a gentle push, he could crush it.

Su Changge, walking in front, had no idea that Dao Monarch Yun Xing behind him was plotting against him. He was happily thinking that once he got the Shattering Star Art, he could Cultivate, and perhaps he could even achieve a Breakthrough at the Qi Refining First Layer.

Just as he reached the entrance of the secret chamber and was about to reach out to push the stone door, he suddenly heard a crisp "crack" sound from behind him.

Dao Monarch Yun Xing's sinister laughter rang out behind him.
