Michael started chanting some ancient curses again. Screeches came down from the sky.

Blue figures were appearing continuously, their speed outstanding. They flew across the valleys and the mountains in an instant and arrived at the Sacred City.

The mirrored Sacred City was soon shrouded by Mystical Blue Feather Birds. They looked like feathers of an angel that had awakened their self-consciousness. Some were dancing in rows, while others were circling above Zhan Kong. Most of them were alert and watching Zhan Kong, ready to attack at any second!

A blue flame engulfed Michael. He was offering his soul as a sacrifice to God in exchange for greater power to destroy evil!

The number of Blue Feather Birds kept increasing. They each had a glowing tail and were flying in perfect order, like soldiers from the Heavens!

“I don’t mind you taking your time to prepare your strongest attack, so you won’t mind me paying her a visit, right?” Zhan Kong was already very close to the Sacred Residence.

Michael was Summoning the Demon Purging Birds from the Heavens, and froze when he heard the words.

It felt like the Undead Emperor was telling him that he could do whatever he wanted, as long as he did not disturb their reunion?

Michael was humiliated by the Undead Emperor’s confidence!

“This is the Sacred City, it’s not your Undead Palace!” Michael shouted back.

More Demon Purging Birds showed up. They were exterminating the demon faces in the clouds with their unique power, while staying alert in Zhan Kong’s vicinity.

A lot of the ghastly faces had come to the ground, inflicting great fear on the Sacred City Mages and rendering them unfit for battle. Michael could not blame them for being unable to cope. After all, they were up against an Emperor-level creature. A Super Mage was like a little kid in front of him!

Michael had to get rid of the frightening demon faces first, and rescue the Sacred City Mages who were fighting alongside him.

Zhan Kong completely ignored his enemy. He could easily intervene, but he was sticking to his word. He was only concerned about Qin Yu’er!

“I’m giving you a second chance. If you fail to eliminate me, I think you should bring your men and retreat to the real Sacred Residence so you can ask your ancestors for protection!” Zhan Kong told Michael.

Zhan Kong could sense that the real Sacred City had stronger magic Formations about it.

That being said, an Emperor who was serious about killing could still bring great destruction upon the Sacred City without setting foot into it. The huge casualties from its destruction would be enough to threaten the Sacred City’s authority.

Therefore, Zhan Kong had already given Michael a chance when he chose to set foot in the mirrored Sacred City instead.

Now he was giving Michael a second chance.

He was not going to stop Michael from using his strongest attacks. He had to teach these idiots the reason why humans had never dared to provoke the Emperors!

—

Michael’s face darkened, and his eyes were burning with anger. The majestic shadow of a deity behind him was burning together with his soul to unleash all his energy.

More Demon Purging Birds descended from the sky. They were circling the whole Sacred City like a tornado now.

Zhan Kong did not lift his gaze, and eventually reached the Lesser Ki-rin.

The ki-rin jumped around in panic. It was just a weak mascot, after all. It started running around wildly as the Undead Emperor approached it.

Zhan Kong waved his hand and unleashed a gust of Bloodthirsty Evil Wind. The wind struck the silver cuff on the ki-rin’s horn.

The broken pieces sprinkled down beside Qin Yu’er’s dress like crystals, glittering from reflecting the feathers of the birds in the sky, which had painted the sky blue. Michael was obviously preparing a stronger Forbidden Curse, which involved Summoning the birds from the Heavens!

The ancient gods would never come to the mundane world to purge demons. They would pluck the feathers off their wings, which would then transform into powerful and aggressive birds. Michael was the Head Angel, so he was granted the ability to use those heavenly feathers to purge the evils of the world!

The city was now full of the Demon Purging Birds, their feathers were shrouding the sky and the sun. It felt like the Sacred City was floating upon an ocean of their feathers. Their unique light could be seen even a hundred kilometers away.

Qin Yu’er looked up. She wore a wry smile when she saw the sky covered in birds, like one of the signs of an apocalypse.

She turned her attention back on the undead man in the black Mantle.

It was him. She remembered seeing his back when she woke up in the ice.

They had the chance of reuniting back then. Why did he leave?

Hadn’t they suffered enough? Why must they trouble one another further?

So what if he had become a living dead?

Even if he was just a corpse, she would prefer lying in his cold arms than roaming aimlessly! At least she would not be hurt again.

“You’re here...” Qin Yu’er said.

“Yes, I’ve come,” Zhan Kong nodded back slowly.

“Why did you walk away back then?” Qin Yu’er asked.

“I saw your face, the same pretty face when I first saw you. I was hoping you could start over again and live the life you always dreamed of...” Zhan Kong answered.

“I might be alive, but the only thing I’m reluctant to part with is you. Xingyi, if I couldn’t see you again, I might as well stay frozen as an ice statue,” Qin Yu’er told him. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

The reunion could have occurred earlier. Why did they have to wait until now?

They could have spent more time together instead of their current circumstances. An apocalypse was looming over them, trembling with its readiness to bring mass destruction!

They were under great pressure, as if they had committed such unforgivable sins that the whole world was treating them as heretics and demanding they be burned alive!

Wouldn’t it be better if she could have met him on the deserted Tianshan Mountain after he broke the Seal on the ice?

That way, Qin Yu’er would have simply treated the pain she had suffered as a nightmare. Her beloved man had come to wake her up while she was calling for him during her nightmare. He would embrace her in his arms, telling her that everything was fine. It was just a nightmare.

Why did he choose to leave instead?

Even if this battle was inevitable, even if Michael still wanted to eliminate Zhan Kong, Qin Yu’er would rather face the battle together with him!
