Chapter 839: Qiu Chi Ka Shows Himself

Panda Novel

When Qiu Chi Ka and the other indigenous warriors began to move, Luo Feng, Gold Cang and Purple Clock were in a frantic state.

"Flee, flee, flee!" Luo Feng flapped his wings, warping like a demon through the pathways.

"This Gold Cang is too strong!"

"This is a emperor limit strength, which far exceeds a pinnacle emperor's strength. Even Night's self destruction did no damage to him." Luo Feng was panicking within. "Even my combined attack from my bug army cannot harm him. If I fight it out with him, he may burn some undying energy and kill my earth body. The moment the earth body falls, that would be troublesome. The pathways are too narrow, the Golden horned beast cannot fight here at all!"

The beast was much stronger than the human body, however the tower wasn't suitable for it.

"Human, don't flee, just give up." Gold Cang howled and chase behind.

Rumble!

Rumble!

From time to time, bolts of lightning burst out of his eyes. These lightning bolts naturally exceeded Luo Feng's speed, instantly forming countless lightning snakes that acted as a net, bound by countless strings. It greatly affected Luo Feng's speed. Right after breaking free, the second net had already reached.

Lightning bolts connected and formed a net over and over…

It made it extremely hard for Luo Feng!

"If it weren't for this pathway, I would have long gotten far away, and his lightning wouldn't even be able to touch me." Luo Feng flapped his wings and fled.

"You can really run." Gold Cang shouted from behind.

He slowed down Luo Feng over and over, yet he could only shorten their distance a little at a time. This made him feel disappointed with himself.

...

The two of them continued as Purple Clock chased from behind too.

"Gold Cang sure is brutal, using Night emperor to kill Ice Blade." Purple Clock's eyes gleamed coldly. "We are all from the automaton camp, and we cannot kill each other. The moment we do so it would be broadcasted in the virtual world, and we will be hunted down from the camp, unable to escape."

"Hence…"

"He wouldn't dare attack personally, but he still wants to get the treasure for himself."

"Now that Ice Blade is gone, in truth he used someone else to kill him." Purple Clock cursed. "Hmph, no matter, he simply used someone else, he wouldn't dare attack his own camp ally. And I'm not Ice Blade. Even if Piercing Tiger self destructs, I won't fall."

"Gold Cang, you want the treasure all to yourself? Hmph…" Many ideas flashed within his mind.

Being from the same camp didn't mean they were on good terms. Because of the rules, they didn't kill each other. Going against the rules…not only would the automaton race send powerful warriors, even Gold Cang's own clansman would send their own.

******

Luo Feng, Gold Cang and Purple Clock flew along the pathways, with ideas of their own.

"Ahead is the core area exit." Luo Feng fled with all his strength.

Shua!

With a flash, he arrived before the exit. The six pathways remained activated, however what stunned Luo Feng was that a purple armored six armed undying floated before the exit. He gave off god energy ripples and blocked off the exits.

"Yan Ji indigenous race?" Luo Feng was shocked at his appearance, but he couldn't care less at this moment.

"Make way!" He roared and was about to rush forward.

"Hua la!"

The six armed undying's arms grew thicker and thicker. It blocked off the six pathways as Luo Feng rushed towards one. Each arm was incredibly powerful, after growing in size, it slapped and knocked back Luo Feng.

"Haha, Yan Ji indigenous resident? I must thank you." Gold Cang caught up and communicated.

Sou!

Purple Clock appeared too.

Luo Feng, Gold Cang and Purple Clock stood there. That Yan Ji warrior blocked up all six pathways, and he was at pinnacle emperor strength. Luo Feng may have the advantage in speed, but to forcefully break through…the strength difference was too much.

"Yang, who is this?" A beam of light flew over. It was Piercing Tiger who flew from another pathway. After landing he was shocked too, "Indigenous?"

The group all exchanged glances, after which they looked at the warrior.

"This indigenous punk, after escaping back then, he actually dares show himself?" Gold Cang roared. The warriors there all knew that they could easily report to their camps about any spotting of these warriors, however there was no forced regulation about reporting or killing them…

These had never been a responsibility for the warriors.

And the warriors didn't want to draw attention to the treasure in the tower either.

"Attention other race enemies." The warrior floating there seemed a little chubby, and his smile was terrifying, "I really wish for you to die, but since you were all about to leave the tower, I had to show myself. Let me introduce myself, I am the survivor of the Yan Ji race Qiu Chi Ka. Back then I was a normal undying when my race faced extinction. However, countless years have passed and I've been incredibly lonely, but I also grew in strength."

"You've been here all this while?"

Gold Cang, Purple Clock, Piercing Tiger and Luo Feng were shocked.

"Right, I've been in here observing your every move." Qiu Chi Ka smiled. His smile however was peculiar and terrifying, "I had planned initially…for you to kill each other more. Those of you belonging to other races, you destroyed my race back then. Hence, its better for you all to die."

"But I really need the talismans."

"I didn't expect you to actually keep both the fallen warriors." Qiu Chi Ka pointed at Gold Cang.

Gold Cang frowned, this warrior actually knew that he had kept the talismans. Looks like he truly had been observing the entire tower.

"Why do you need the talismans?" He roared.

"You said... your plan…" Luo Feng frowned, "That treasure room…"

The others were shocked when they heard.

"Smart." Qiu Chi Ka complimented, "There's at least one smart fellow amongst you all, haha, I've been here all this while, and that room had always been open. If there were any treasure, it would have been long gone. Those three treasure chests…are empty chests. Since you are all unable to scan them, I used them to bait you all into killing each other."

"What!"

"Empty chests?"

"Night emperor and Ice Blade fell for empty chests?" Piercing Tiger roared, as the others remained shocked.

Everybody had risked it all for those chests, and the emperors had all lost part of their undying bodies for them.

"Human." Qiu Chi Ka looked at Luo Feng. "When you acquired the chests, you should have seen the words on it. It clearly states that only a person of my race can open it. Naturally, I opened them a long time ago and left the chests there as part of my plan."

"There were those words." Luo Feng and Purple Clock frowned.

"Purple Clock, you saw the words too?" Gold Cang asked. Purple clock replied, "Yes, indeed. And when we found that room, it was already open. Also, this warrior seems to know our every move, he's obviously been watching us. He definitely knew of the room before, he probably took the treasure long ago."

"Hm." Gold Cang acknowledged this point.

"If you don't believe, you can hand me one chest and I can open it for you." Qiu Chi Ka smiled as he said.

"Yang, take out one chest." Gold Cang looked at Luo Feng.

"Take it out." Purple Clock said.

Luo Feng frowned but still retrieved one chest. There were complex engravings all around the chest. Since one couldn't forcefully open it, Luo Feng tossed it over.

When Qiu Chi Ka received it, he rubbed his hand along the sides and with an easy click, opened the chest.

The emperor's all stared hard.

The chest was completely empty.

"Empty chests." Gold Cang was enraged, roaring, "Bastard." He had burnt part of his undying body for this. Even though the material of the case was worth some money too, he didn't care for such petty wealth.

What he wanted…

Was the treasure from the fleeing race of Yan Ji back then!

"Haha…" Qiu Chi Ka laughed, "If you all weren't fleeing so fast, I wouldn't even have shown myself. The more you killed each other, the better it would have been."

"So why have you shown yourself now?" Gold Cang asked.

The others stared at Qiu Chi Ka.

Qiu Chi Ka's expression suddenly grew demonic as he stared at them. "You other race punks, if it weren't for the true treasure of the tower, I wouldn't even care about you."

"True treasure?" Luo Feng was shocked.

The others were stunned too.

"Haha…you don't think that a room that a pinnacle emperor's self destruct can destroy will hold the real treasure?" He mocked, "Why would you think…that I, having gotten the treasure before, would risk my life here to waste my time with you?"

"Right." They all agreed.

Would an inheritance treasure room be that weak?

"The treasure is separated." Qiu Chi Ka said coldly, "The room you all saw was indeed one of them, but it's an ordinary one. The secret ones however…hide the true treasure."

"Any one of our race can open that normal room."

"The true treasure in the secret room requires not just our race, but also the talismans to activate. Only with it…will it confirm our identity, and one without it cannot open the room." Qiu Chi Ka said, "Back then when we fled, the knights were worried that the normal warriors would be controlled by others, hence he entrusted talismans to a few to hold…and those holding the talismans had to be emperor level! It's incredibly hard to control an emperor undying."

Luo Feng and the other warriors nodded as they listened.

They had to admit.

Whatever he said was logical, it fit.

"If you all leave, I will never be able to get the true treasure, and without the talismans I won't be able to open the doors. However without me, you all will never be able to open it too." Qiu Chi Ka looked at the group, "My request is simple, I just want half of the treasure!"
