novelJade Emperor's Clone, Golden Armor General!
| ← Ch.518 | Ch.520 → |
At the Grand Luo's battlefield deep in the celestial battlefield...
Wang Hou was directing his qi circulation in a hidden cave and slowly recovering.
There was anger in his eyes.
"That doggone World's Authority! Isn't it simple ridiculous?"
Hetui!
Wang Hou spat out a mouthful of blood as he cursed.
His original plan was to kill Modolo of the Demon race and White Sky God King of the God race, and thereafter, he would stop holding back his cultivation and leave the Golden Immortals' battlefield to ascend up to the thirteenth tier of martial arts.
He certainly did not expect that the world within the Golden Immortals' battlefield would bestow him so much blessing after he killed the White Sky God King that he instantly ascended from Grotto-Heaven, the twelfth-tier of martial arts, to Realm King, the thirteenth-tier of martial arts.
After that, the World's Authority descended and moved Modolo, who had also ascended to Grand Luo, as well as Wang Hou himself to the Grand Luo's battlefield.
Although he was not weak in ability even after reaching the Grand Luo's battlefield, he allowed Modolo to escape despite his injury... and just two days later, the Grand Luo of the God race and Demon race started to search everywhere for him.
If Wang Hou was not a martial artist with incredible melee ability, he would be dead a handful of times over.
"There are no less than twenty Grand Luo from the God and Demon race in the Grand Luo's battlefield, and thirty if we count in their vassal races."
"The exit must be sealed by now, and going now would be walking into a trap..."
Wang Hou took a deep breath, a look of wildness showing in his eyes.
For now, he would have to wander around the Grand Luo's battlefield.
***
"What?!"
In the palace at the Celestial Court where Jiang He was lodging...
"Having the guts to hunt Wang Hou? The Grand Luo from the God and Demon race are quite bold..."
Jiang He was seething once he read through the information. Rising to his feet, he said, "Your Majesty, Brother Pure Yang, I shall head to the Grand Luo's battlefield to rescue Wang Hou... Does the Heavenly Court have details about that place?"
"We do, but..."
The Jade Emperor frowned as he tried to detour Jiang He."Mister Jiang, the Grand Luo's battlefield is now a lair of beasts. The Gods and Demons have mobilized twenty-three Grand Luo as well as the elites of their races, making it a total of thirty-three Grand Luo."
"We, the Three Realms, do have our elites in the Grand Luo battlefield, but we had pulled out because we don't know the course of events. It would be dangerous if you go alone—why don't we plan this out first?"
"There's no need."
Jiang He waved him off and said flatly, "Merely thirty-three Grand Luo would not stop me."
"Well..."
The Jade Emperor hesitated for a while when he saw how confident Jiang He is, but persuaded him regardless."Grand Luo who dare to enter the Grand Luo's battlefield would definitely not be weak, and even Demi Saints would have to keep their distance if they were up against thirty-three Grand Luo."
"Moreover, I've heard that Moyin of the Demon race and Skyless of the God race have already arrived at the Grand Luo's battlefield. Nonetheless, I myself have sent word to various sects of the Three Realms to gather, and we would definitely be able to come up with a perfect strategy."
"Why bother?"
Jiang He smiled mysteriously."Your Majesty, I would already have a plan since I dared to come... Moreover, there is no telling how long Wang Hou could survive being by himself after being hunted by so many foreign race elites."
Having put it that way, the Jade Emperor naturally could not keep dissuading him.
Turning towards Lü Dongbin, he instructed, "Prepare a map for the Grand Luo's battlefield and information about the foreign race elites."
By the time Lü Dongbin hurried away, the Jade Emperor added, "I'll be going with you, Mister Jiang.
"..."
Jiang He was stunned, but quickly refused, "Your Majesty, how could we expose you, the lord of the Three Realms, to danger?"
"It's fine, I'll just send a clone."
The Jade Emperor appeared somewhat thrilled, and he whispered, "Please wait for a while after you leave through the Southern Sky Gate, Mister Jiang. My clone will find you there."
"..."
Why did it feel as if the Jade Emperor was using him as an excuse to go out to play?
Moments later, Lü Dongbin returned with a jade scroll.
Jiang He put it away and returned to the palace, stuffing Dumbo, Trumbo, and the many maids into his Farm. Then, after bidding farewell to the Jade Emperor and Lü Dongbin, he flew out of the Southern Sky Gate.
"Your Majesty..."
Lü Dongbin said hesitantly as he stared at Jiang He's back."Jiang He may be powerful, but he is just one person in the end. With thirty-three Grand Luo sent by the God race, the Demon race, and their vassals, not to mention some foreign Grand Luo who might exploit this chance... it would be a great loss to the Three Realms should Jiang He and Wang Hou, recent talents from the homeworld and embodiments of great destines, fall at the Grand Luo's battlefield."
"Your Majesty, should we send some Grand Luo to assist them?"
The Jade Emperor waved him off and flatly said, "There's no need. We just have to believe in Jiang He."
"Moreover, who says they are alone?" the Jade Emperor said with a vague smile then.
Lü Dongbin realized with a start then and exclaimed, "I almost forgot—Jiang He's cat and dog are Grand Luo as well... makes sense. With Jiang He's moves, the cat and the dog, he might stand a chance should he wait for the perfect opportunity to save Wang Hou instead of confronting the God and Demon races directly.
***
The vast Celestial Court was protected by a special World Authority, so there was no warping in the Heavenly Court.
Jiang He stopped after flying out of the Southern Sky Gate.
He looked around, but could not find the Jade Emperor.
After waiting for around five minutes and still unable to see the Jade Emperor's clone, he was about to leave when he saw a golden flash rapidly approaching from the Southern Sky Gate.
A burly godly warrior donning golden armor could be seen in the golden flash.
When he landed outside the Southern Sky Gate, the sentries on duty at the gate all saluted him as the Golden Armor General.
The Golden Armor General then came before Jiang He and offered a fist-palm salute, "His Majesty has decreed that I head to the Grand Luo's battlefield with you, Brother Jiang He... Shall we?"
Jiang He stared blanking as he left through the Southern Sky Gate with the Golden Armor General.
Three thoughts crossed his mind then.
The first thought was: is this the Jade Emperor's clone?
The second thought was: is this really the Jade Emperor's clone?
The third thought was: wait, for real? Is this really the Jade Emperor's clone?
He subtly studied the Golden Armor General.
His armor was shinning in golden luster, and a little blinding to the air when it reflected the sunlight...
As for the person inside the armor...
It was a little hard to describe.
He was huge and robust. Standing at around 2. 5 meters tall, his muscles were bursting, his skin pitch-black, and he sported a thick beard. His brows and eyes also allowed Jiang He to fully understand terms like 'bushy brows' and the like.
"Why does the Jade Emperor's clone looks so harrowing?"
"He looks like that, but those celestial sentries address him as the Golden Armor General..."
Jiang He quietly complained.
Names like Golden Armor General were supposed to be limited to gorgeous men.
"Mister Jiang..."
That was when the Golden Armor General communicated with Jiang He through acoustics, saying, "It's inconvenient for me to operate outside with my statues. Let's call each other brothers when we're outside."
For real!
There was definitely no mistaking it!
A thought occurred to Jiang He then, and he asked, "Your Majesty, how should I address you then?"
"This clone of mine is a condensation of virtue... I named him the Golden Armor, who is quite famous across all worlds. Just call me Brother Golden Armor."
Pffft!
Jiang He almost broke into laughter.
It's no wonder why those celestial sentries had to repress their conscience to address you as the Golden Armor General.
It even feels like 'Golden Armor' is a person's name!
