553: An existence that must not be provoked

Do I regret it?

Of course I regret it, damn it!

Who the hell knew that something like this would happen today!

Thirty-six Sacred Kings gathered here... yet you couldn't even be taken down by one person!

Everyone fell here!

It was all for nothing!

If I had known it would turn out like this... I wouldn't have come, you bastard!

After a bout of slaughter, the Sacred King Tiankui was severely injured and weakened to the limit. Even now, being held by the neck and lifted up by Li Qi, he could not resist at all.

Sacred King Tiankui's face was pale, his breathing intermittent, and he glared at Li Qi with hatred as he spoke.

"Li Qi, you... freak..."

"Don't think that just because you beat us... you can... do anything..."

"The other Sacred Kings... will definitely... definitely not let you go!!"

Faced with such an outcome today, Sacred King Tiankui was extremely unwilling. He had never been this down-and-out before, being carried like a dead dog in someone's hand.

He had also never felt this powerless before. He wanted to break free from Li Qi's grip, but found that Li Qi's palm was like a hard iron hoop, welded tightly onto his neck.

Sacred King Tiankui had indeed tried his best. Even with all his methods exhausted, he couldn't do anything against Li Qi, while he himself had suffered the bombardment of nearly a thousand types of Three Thousand Great Daos, making him feel like he was dying.

In contrast, Li Qi, this Child of the Great Path, had been calm and composed from start to finish, his Qi not disturbed in the slightest, displaying a terrifying strength as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea.

"Tiankui, stay here with me properly."

"As for the other Sacred Kings you mentioned, you don't need to worry about them. Before long... I will send them all to keep you company."

As the words fell, dense Cloud Pattern Divine Seals surged from Li Qi's palm, quickly covering Sacred King Tiankui's entire body.

Each Cloud Pattern Divine Seal emitted a dazzling white light, and the power within exploded. A touch of darkness entered Sacred King Tiankui's vision, and his consciousness sank continuously, falling into a deep sleep...

After Sacred King Tiankui's consciousness completely disappeared, he had turned into a small, exquisite bronze statue.

Li Qi gave a light sigh and tucked the bronze statue into his robes, and this great battle... finally came to an end.

He did not linger, turned around, and left...

After Li Qi's fierce battle with the thirty-six Sacred Kings ended, the results of this battle were spreading at an astonishing speed.

"What?"

"Those thirty-six Sacred Kings all fell?!"

"Yes, but the 'fallen' you speak of is not accurate... Those Sacred Kings were Sealed, not dead."

"If the Seal can be broken one day, those Sacred Kings will be able to return to the world."

"That Child of the Great Path's combat power is shocking; to take down so many Sacred Kings without being injured, such a thing has never happened before."

"This Child of the Great Path... can be called the number one person of all time!"

"But then again, why did Li Qi only choose to Seal these Sacred Kings, instead of killing them all?"

"I don't know."

"So many Sacred Kings came together, clearly leaving no way out for this Child of the Great Path, and this Child of the Great Path can be so kind? To let them go?"

"Truly a great spirit!"

"Uh, regarding this matter... I have indeed heard some rumors, though I don't know if they are true or false..."

"Oh?"

"Might as well tell us."

"As far as I know, those invading Sacred Kings were all Sealed into bronze statues, each one small and exquisite, painted with beautiful and mysterious Seal scripts."

"So these bronze statues are not only objects of the Seal, but also perfect works of art... possessing very high artistic value."

"How high?"

"About three or four stories high..."

"So that is why Li Qi Sealed all these Sacred Kings into bronze statues, just so he could play with them at any time in the future, to avenge the grudge of these Sacred Kings coming to surround and kill him!"

"Hiss... so that's what happened?"

"Isn't it!?"

"I also heard that Sacred King Tiankui was the leader of this group of Sacred Kings who came to attack, so the bronze statue he was Sealed into... is almost being polished to a sheen by that Child of the Great Path! It's so smooth!"

"Damn! That's ruthless!"

These Sacred Kings were usually high-and-mighty big shots, with endless glory bestowed upon them, but their current plight... was simply more vicious than killing them!

For a time, all kinds of rumors about how the Child of the Great Path treated the defeated Sacred Kings flew everywhere, and one could easily hear strange words like "playing with," "fiddling with," and "polishing to a sheen."

And Li Qi, this Child of the Great Path... became an existence that must absolutely not be provoked.

Otherwise, the treatment of those defeated Sacred Kings would be your fate!

While the outside world was in an uproar, Li Qi, the person involved, didn't care at all. He remained safely in his villa in Gu Yong City, busy with the matter of stripping the Sacred Throne.

And on the table in front of him, the many bronze statues he had just obtained were neatly arranged...
