196: I'll skin you alive, even if it kills me.

Imperial Capital University, back mountain.

Lu Yeli's beautiful eyes flickered as she sized up the six Alliance Leaders in the lead and the Hall Master of the Tribunal Hall.

God Emperor Realm!

They were all God Emperor Realm Experts, numbering over a hundred in total!

The Great Elders of the Seven Alliances and One Hall, and the Principals of the Five Great Top Academies.

As well as many faces she had never seen before!

"Two hours. We can only stay away from Huaxia for two hours at most!" Hall Master Shen Duanhong of the Tribunal Hall said in a deep voice.

It would certainly be better to kill Lu Jingyuan within two hours.

If they failed to kill him, they would have to return empty-handed; after all, the Demon and Monster Races were watching like tigers eyeing their prey, and they could not stay outside for too long.

"Child, begin." Shen Duanhong looked at Lu Yeli and Ke Yueyao.

Under the gaze of over a hundred God Emperor Realm Experts, the two women unleashed a fully perfected space and time fusion positioning Spirit Skill.

The sky twisted and rippled, and a mirror appeared out of thin air.

Inside the mirror, an old man wearing a mask and luxurious black-and-white striped clothing was sitting cross-legged in a Cave, cultivating.

"It's him!"

Lao Qiyuan said with certainty.

"Due north, he is within the borders of a small country called Tianchen Kingdom." Lu Yeli's face was pale, her spiritual power having been drained at lightning speed.

Lu Jingyuan was, after all, a Peak Divine Emperor Realm expert; locating him was no easy task.

A ball of green light merged into the bodies of Lu Yeli and Ke Yueyao, and the two women's spiritual power instantly recovered to its peak state.

Wood Element Alliance Leader Yin Youruo of the Wood Element Alliance smiled and nodded.

"Let's go!"

A Space Gate opened, and the group filed in one after another.

It was raining incessantly in Pengcheng, but the sun was shining brightly in the Imperial Capital.

"Are you free tonight?"

Chu Wushe looked at Xu Qimeng opposite him, hesitating for a long time before extending the invitation for the second time.

The first time, Xu Qimeng had refused.

That day, she had to help a female student with close combat techniques.

"Sure." Xu Qimeng, dripping with fragrant sweat, readily agreed.

"Then shall we go... for a walk tonight?"

Chu Wushe asked cautiously, fearing that Xu Qimeng might think he had ulterior motives.

Of course, his motives were indeed not pure.

But it was still better than the ideas Lu Yuan suggested, like going out for dinner and a movie at night, and then finding a hotel to 'cook' in.

That was just too fast!

Chu Wushe did not think Xu Qimeng was that kind of woman.

"Okay." Xu Qimeng nodded, observing Chu Wushe, who was voluntarily opening his heart to her.

In her eyes, Chu Wushe was a pitiful person.

Among the Alliance Leaders and Hall Masters of the Seven Alliances and One Hall, only Alliance Master Chu Yongsheng of the Thunder Alliance had married and had children.

This meant that Chu Wushe was the only descendant of an Alliance Leader!

Shen Tangchu was the adopted daughter of the Supreme Alliance Leader, and she was already sixteen when she was adopted.

Since he was little, Chu Wushe had been burdened with high expectations, not just from his father, but also from the other six Alliance Leaders and Hall Masters.

This pressure was immense, which was why Chu Wushe strove to be first in everything.

When Chu Wushe said that he had almost no childhood and had begun practicing fist techniques with a sandbag as his companion since he could remember.

Xu Qimeng was stunned, unable to believe that the son of this Alliance Master of the Thunder Alliance had it so rough.

"You look a lot like my mother." Chu Wushe said truthfully.

In his life so far, four people had been very important to him.

His parents, Great Elder Lü Huiyao of the Thunder Alliance, and Lu Yuan.

If there were a ranking.

His mother was first, Lü Huiyao second, Lu Yuan third, and his biological father was actually fourth.

He spent more time with Lu Yuan than with his father.

Including the amount they spoke!

Regarding his father, Chu Yongsheng, Chu Wushe felt respect, and even awe.

Their relationship was not like father and son, but more like a superior and subordinate.

As for fatherly love, it had been replaced by the Elders of the Thunder Alliance; from start to finish, Chu Wushe did not believe that Chu Yongsheng had ever given him any fatherly love.

"Your mother must have been a gentle and beautiful woman, but you are basically calling me old." Xu Qimeng said with a smile.

"No, I... I didn't mean that."

Chu Wushe panicked a little, lacking his usual composure.

"Hmm?" Chu Wushe's expression tightened as he sensed a thick killing intent emanating from Xu Qimeng toward him!

In the blink of an eye, he couldn't react at all!

However, the one who died was not him, but Xu Qimeng, who had bitten her tongue and committed suicide!

"Instructor Wang, you..."

Imperial Capital University, the grounds specifically used for practicing close combat.

The students were struck by lightning, watching helplessly as the Ash Legion Soldiers who had been teaching them displayed expressions of pain and shock.

In the end, they decisively ended their own lives!

Fresh blood stained the ground; all eighty-six Ash Legion Soldiers, without exception, had not struck a single student!

The time left for them to react was merely a breath!

Watching Xu Qimeng die before his eyes after biting her tongue, along with those Ash Legion Soldiers.

Chu Wushe felt as if his heart was being twisted by a knife.

His relationship with Xu Qimeng had ended before it even began, and the same went for the Ash Legion Soldiers.

These soldiers had chosen to submit to him and become his subordinates.

Now, they were all dead!

Looking at the Ancient Professionals walking out of the Space Gate, Chu Wushe's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.

"What kind of madness are you engaging in again!"

Red light flickered, and the blood scythe artifact spirit screamed.

Chu Wushe was burning his essence blood to raise his realm, and he was burning it recklessly!

This was a unique ability of Blood Attribute Practitioners.

Law Realm Six-Star, Seven-Star...

Transcendent Realm!

Transcendent Realm Two-Star, Three-Star, Four-Star...

"Don't be impulsive. This is the Imperial Capital; your Huaxia experts will come to wipe out the Ancient Professionals!"

Blue light flickered, and the artifact spirit hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

If Chu Wushe died, they would die too!

At this moment, Chu Wushe was raising his realm like a madman.

The price was that if he didn't break through to the God Emperor Realm within twenty years, he would die instantly!

Domain Realm!

"It's over. If you don't break through to the God Emperor Realm within ten years, the three of us are done for!" The artifact spirit's voice trembled.

"Why did I ever acknowledge you as my master!"

The other artifact spirit was furious.

Though it said that, it knew it had to help Chu Wushe resolve the crisis.

"Stupid. Since they dared to come, it proves that no one can help Imperial Capital University!"

Chu Wushe said sternly.

"I am not as monstrously talented as Lu Yuan; I can only burn my lifespan!"

Blood eyes appeared.

Blood, Thunder, Wind, Earth.

Four Great Domains unfolded!

Chu Wushe stared coldly at the Ancient Professionals in the air.

He recognized the identity of one of them.

The Second Prince of the Great Shun Dynasty, Mu Taiyu!

"God Emperor Realm, you've really spared no expense." Chu Wushe locked onto the Thunder Attribute, Two-Star Divine Sovereign Realm expert.

Three Gold Attribute, Saint Realm Vice Principals stood beside Chu Wushe.

"Where is the Principal?" Chu Wushe asked.

"He... he went out to handle some business and won't be back for a while."

A Vice Principal took a deep breath.

As expected!

Chu Wushe looked toward the headquarters of the Seven Alliances and One Hall, feeling suspicious in his heart.

The Principal was not there; where had the Alliance Leaders and the Hall Master gone?

The headquarters had a rule: either the Supreme Alliance Leader or the Hall Master of the Tribunal Hall must remain to guard it!

Heavenly Sword Hall, Supreme Alliance Leader's office.

Li Qingcang slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Jingyuan, who was sitting in a chair wearing a mask.

"Nephew, it has been eighteen years since we last met, hasn't it?"

Lu Jingyuan said with a smile.

"That sword strike was truly painful; it took eighteen years for me to recover."

Ignoring Lu Jingyuan's words, Li Qingcang continued to close his eyes and rest, a thought appearing in his mind.

It's a trap!

Both were Peak Divine Emperor Realm experts.

Due to his special attributes, Lu Jingyuan wanted to run, and he couldn't do anything about it; it was just a matter of who could break through to the Immortal Realm first!

The entire headquarters of the Seven Alliances and One Hall was gray and murky, and the remaining Elders looked up, shocked.

"Run! Save as many as you can!"

Chu Wushe's roar echoed throughout Imperial Capital University.

"Instructors at the Domain Realm or above, come with me to hold off the Ancient Professionals and buy time for the students to escape!"

Upon discovering the presence of God Emperor Realm Experts, Chu Wushe immediately issued orders.

"Was it you who controlled the Ash Legion to attack the students?" Chu Wushe looked at Mu Taiyu, who was at the Domain Realm.

"So what if it was, and what if it wasn't?"

The Second Prince of the Great Shun Dynasty, Mu Taiyu, said mockingly.

Roar—

A Blood-colored Thunder Dragon roared and hovered above Chu Wushe's head.

Chu Wushe's expression twisted, and he pointed his blood scythe at Mu Taiyu.

"If it was, then even if I die, I will skin you alive!"
