CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 51: EMPIRE WAR GOD, HE LIANYUN VISITS

Time flies, five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Today, Huo Lin Nana has left.

She has reached the physical limit, breaking through to the Peak of Tier Eight.

Ji Shang, White Fox, Zhao Hu, Zhu Hongyu, Xu Qing, Cute Treasure, Xing Emperor, Bai Jingyi, Su Qian, Wu Jiao, Lu Hao, Wu Hai, Tang Huang, and others,

Ji Shang, Zhu Hongyu, Xu Qing, Xing Emperor, Cute Treasure, have all reached Mid Stage Eight Stars.

While the others are all at the Peak of Tier Seven, and should reach Tier Eight before the decisive battle.

Gu Qijue, who has been devouring the Star-Sucking Monster, has reached the Peak of Tier Eight, but can’t break through the barrier to Tier Nine no matter what.

According to Huo Lin Nana, in two days, an extremely powerful being will emerge from the deep sea, and that will be the time for the decisive battle.

Today, a guest unexpectedly arrived at the shelter.

In the central villa.

Gu Qijue personally received the visitor.

This was a middle-aged man with a strong build and a dignified appearance.

"Alas!!"

The dignified middle-aged man looked at Gu Qijue and sighed lightly.

"What do you say?"

Gu Qijue lit a cigarette for himself and smiled slightly, "Isn’t the Di Yuan Group and the Empire essentially one?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly:

"The Ancient Martial Artists dominate everything, the Di Yuan Group used to be fine, keeping to themselves, but since Chu Yuan took over, it has gradually developed into a capital group."

"In this apocalypse, the Di Yuan Group has almost taken over all control of the Empire, we can’t even speak anymore."

"If we still had a say, we would never have treated you like this."

"Now, we can only manage logistics and such..."

This middle-aged man’s name is He Lianyun, the War God among the previous generation of ordinary humans in the Hidden Dragon Empire.

Gu Qijue laughed, "You wouldn’t have come all this way just to say these things, would you?"

"The Empire hopes you can survive and overthrow the Di Yuan Group. We can provide you with something from beyond the Star Blue Continent that can enhance your combat power several fold."

He Lianyun said seriously, "The Empire has only one condition, after you overthrow the Di Yuan Group, integrate those Ancient Martial Artists and Super Martial Artists into the Empire’s Hidden Dragon Team, we don’t want a second Di Yuan Group to appear."

Gu Qijue was intrigued and asked, "What is it? If it can help me defeat the invading enemy, everything you mentioned is not a problem. I will definitely resolve the destruction caused by the Star-Sucking Main Tree afterward and won’t interfere in the Empire’s internal affairs."

With Gu Qijue’s promise, He Lianyun called out, "Bring the item up here!"

As he spoke, a bodyguard waiting outside entered with a black briefcase and placed it on the table.

He Lianyun exhaled lightly and said, "This is a bracelet we obtained from the deep sea. Once worn, it can increase your combat power several times, whether you are an Ancient Martial Artist or a Superhuman. Try it on and see if it works."

As he said that, he opened the briefcase.

Inside,

Lays a completely black bracelet with mysterious patterns flowing on its surface, looking very enigmatic.

He Lianyun said, "We found this in a deep-sea relic. We only know it can enhance combat ability, other functionalities are unknown to us at the moment."

Gu Qijue didn’t speak, his gaze fixed intently on the bracelet.

Then he picked it up, the touch was incredibly warm, as if it was alive.

Gu Qijue put it on his right hand.

An astonishing scene appeared.

As soon as Gu Qijue wore the bracelet,

It emitted a faint light, then integrated into his flesh and blood.

At that moment,

Gu Qijue’s body quivered slightly.

His cells and genes underwent a complete transformation.

In an instant, they were strengthened tenfold.

At this moment,

The bracelet had completely vanished,

It fused with Gu Qijue’s mental layer.

With a mere thought,

A spear-like object full of technology, coursing with thunder and black flames, radiating a powerful aura appeared in Gu Qijue’s palm.

Another thought, it transformed into a Black Dragon Shield.

Then, from the Black Dragon Shield, it turned into a Black Dragon Bow...

It seemed capable of morphing into any weapon Gu Qijue imagined, each incredibly powerful.

"What a good item!!"

Gu Qijue exclaimed in amazement, "Although I’m still at the Peak of Tier Eight, after merging with it, my combat power increased tenfold. What is the origin of the deep-sea relic where this bracelet comes from?"

"Hahaha! I never expected the bracelet to exhibit such phenomenal effects in the hands of President Gu."

He Lianyun also showed signs of delight, "We don’t know where the deep-sea relic originated from, everything inside had degraded except for this bracelet you merged with. With its enhancement, does President Gu have confidence in the upcoming battle?"

"Among humans, there should be no rival, the unknown being from the deep sea remains uncertain."

Gu Qijue dared not claim that he could survive this crisis, he said, "Do you know that old turtle? I once killed it, yet it came back to life inexplicably. It must have been resurrected by the being behind it, a creature capable of such a feat is terrifying."

"This..."

He Lianyun was also shocked upon hearing this.

Gu Qijue smiled faintly and said, "No matter, I, Gu Mou, have never been one to surrender without a fight."

"Then let me congratulate you in advance on cutting a bloody path!"

He Lianyun smiled, then hesitated, "Mu Yuxin, you didn’t kill her, did you? If you were to die in battle..."

"Besides losing a hand, she’s fine now, I know what you want to say, since the Empire trusts me, I, Gu Mou, won’t drag this world to the grave with me. In two days’ time, even if I die fighting, I’ll kill all the enemies present, if I can take them down with me, I will have no regrets."

Gu Qijue showed a hint of madness and said, "If I do die in battle, someone will reattach Mu Yuxin’s hand in a year."

The Empire sent this bracelet to help him greatly increase his combat power ahead of the siege; Gu Qijue now has no reason to destroy the world with him.

But he still had some confidence to make it to the end.

Why did he say one year?

Because Gu Qijue holds a glimmer of hope in Xiaoyao.

Hoping that if he dies, it could somehow resurrect him or the like.

"Alright, on behalf of all the living beings on the Star Blue Continent, thank you for your mercy." He Lianyun half-jokingly said.

Gu Qijue said, "You can take Mu Yuxin, but I can’t give you her severed hand just yet."

"To be honest, I intended to take her as well, thank you, President Gu, for making it happen!" He Lianyun made a slight bow to him.

Gu Qijue called out, "Wu Jiao, take War God He to see Mu Yuxin!"

Responding to his voice, Wu Jiao came swiftly and said, "War God He, please!"
