Chapter 1187: Chapter 1184: The Most Soldier-like Subordinate!

"Do you want to die with him?"

The frail human had a breath so weak, like a candle almost extinguished at any moment, but such an existence was threatening the enraged self.

Yet for some reason, Wang Lingguan felt a threat, a deadly threat he hadn’t felt in countless years.

"You..."

Wang Lingguan wanted to step forward, wanted to take the stance, even if it was Chen Qing, even if it was the Chen Qing of before, he shouldn’t be able to say such words to him in this state, especially since he killed Your Majesty!

Did Your Majesty really die?

Even now, Wang Lingguan still found it hard to believe.

Back when they were still mortals, Elder Long had already reached the end of his life. He refused to grow old, didn’t want to die so soon. That data plan seemed so absurd to him, but Elder Long accomplished it, an impossible miracle realized time and again in this ambitious old man, including establishing such a huge force in this dreadful world later on.

He accomplished it, such a powerful person, how could he die so easily?

"Elder Long couldn’t possibly die so easily!" Wang Lingguan said with certainty.

Chen Qing glanced at him, and a trace of warmth appeared in his originally cold eyes, "You’re right..."

"Uh?"

Wang Lingguan was stunned. He expected the other party to either mock him or say colder, more decisive words to crush his morale. He never expected the other to say this instead.

"He existed for so long, prepared countless backup plans; how could he truly be killed by me so easily?" Chen Qing sneered.

"Then...he..." Wang Lingguan stuttered, temporarily forgetting to release his aura.

"There should...be some plan left..." Chen Qing gazed at the chaotic Heavenly Palace with a bitter smile, "It might even be..."

"What might it be?" Wang Lingguan hurriedly asked. He knew it was foolish to ask such questions from an enemy, but somehow, he felt Chen Qing wouldn’t deceive him or refuse to answer.

"Whatever it is..." Chen Qing, gathering himself, looked at the other party, "He abandoned this place; he probably put all his resources on you, didn’t he?"

Wang Lingguan stepped back cautiously upon hearing this.

Indeed, if Elder Long wasn’t dead, then the resources on himself were the foundation for Elder Long’s resurgence!

"I’m not interested in your things..." Chen Qing seemingly saw through everything about him and just said indifferently, "You can leave with your Thunder General Department, even the remnants of the Heaven’s Court; I won’t stop you, but if you want to avenge him, then..."

Chen Qing pointed his longsword without saying more, but the faint candlelight carried a bit of sharpness, so fine that it almost couldn’t be felt. Yet, just as Wang Lingguan believed Elder Long wasn’t dead, he also believed Chen Qing wasn’t without a chance.

The two of them stood in a standoff for almost a few moments, Wang Lingguan looked deeply at Chen Qing and stopped the Deputy General from making a move, retreating slowly.

He retreated very cautiously, as if fearing Chen Qing might suddenly strike!

Until the opponent completely withdrew from Chen Qing’s sight, even confirming that the opponent had disappeared through some Transmission Array taking the Thunder Department along, a white light appeared, and a familiar figure appeared before Chen Qing.

At the instant Chen Qing saw that figure, his body went limp, and that person hurriedly supported Chen Qing.

It was Ziyue, who had been switched into the White Painting World by Chen Qing.

"How did it go?"

Once Ziyue touched Chen Qing, she felt his almost depleted Spiritual Power; she was startled. She had seen clearly from the White Painting World a moment ago, this guy dared draw his sword at Wang Lingguan, and had an aura as if he would definitely kill his opponent if they made a move!

Was it just a bluff?

Of course, she also guessed it was a bluff but didn’t expect it to be to such an extent.

This is like betting ten dollars at a Macao casino...

This can’t even be called an empty city strategy; there’s no city to begin with.

"That was really dangerous..." Chen Qing laughed.

"You realize that!" Ziyue rolled her eyes, "In such a state, you really dared to gamble. How come I never noticed before that you’re such a crazy gambler?"

"People change..." Chen Qing showed a grin, "No choice, just pocket change, wanting to beat that kind of monster with abundant resources, apart from gambling, there’s no other way!"

"Is Elder Long really not dead?" Ziyue asked, puzzled.

She couldn’t sense Elder Long’s presence anymore. She saw most clearly that Chen Qing won, the Emperor Dao Fruit indeed abandoned Elder Long, even chose to self-harm rather than continue under Elder Long. Although Chen Qing’s win was extremely narrow earlier, he won.

Elder Long was cut down without leaving a trace!

"In normal circumstances, he should be dead..." Chen Qing looked at the place where Elder Long disappeared, eyes inexplicable, "The Sword Dao Fruit can cut everything, whether flesh or Divine Soul, shouldn’t continue existing, but if..."

"Backup?" Ziyue immediately thought of something.

"The concept of backup in this game is very rare; the stronger the creature, the harder to back up. It’s with the settings, unless..."

Chen Qing thought of a possibility but was reluctant to confirm it. After all, for Elder Long, becoming anything doesn’t matter, as long as he could continue having such power, that kind of madness, others wouldn’t do it, but he might.

"There?" Ziyue seemed to think of something too, pointing to Outer Space.

Chen Qing nodded slightly.

"Are you confident?"

"Not at all..." Chen Qing shook his head, "But a person like him, any crazy act is possible. He already lost the concept of collectiveness, he can abandon anything for himself."

"Then were you sure Wang Lingguan would give up attacking you just now?"

"He’s just that kind of person..." Chen Qing laughed, "Even if Elder Long’s chance of survival is only a tiny possibility, he will make every effort to ensure Elder Long’s resources, fulfill his duties."

"Perhaps he is the most like a soldier under Elder Long’s command, prioritizing his mission above all, not very flexible, not suitable as a commander, but definitely the most excellent executor; as long as there’s an opportunity to complete the task, he won’t risk a single chance; Elder Long is quite fortunate to have such a subordinate."

Chen Qing’s tone was full of admiration, such a person, following someone like Elder Long, whose humanity is lost to ambition, is truly an unfortunate combination for the Masses.

"Therefore, even if he desperately wants to kill you, in order to preserve Elder Long’s resources and retain that slim chance of resurgence, he chose to retreat, set aside hatred and anger, and also gave up the temptation to kill you, impressive..."

"So calm like a machine!" Ziyue couldn’t help but exclaim.

Chen Qing’s weakness, even a slight attempt might lead to a different result, yet he chose not to risk anything, truly hard to describe.

However, Chen Qing was also bold enough, sure of the opponent’s character, daring to bluff like that. If either of their mentalities swayed even slightly, it wouldn’t have ended this way.

"What about now?" Ziyue looked at the chaotic surroundings, "What next? What will happen here?"
