Chapter 590 - The End of the Play

Jiang Wang had been pondering one question.Why had Yin Guan pushed himself into a corner?

Why seek “death”?

After much thought, he could only find one reason.

That day, Yin Guan had said to him, “I’ve cashed in my potential too early.

If I proceed in an orderly fashion, it’s hard to witness God Arrives.”

How could someone like Yin Guan be content with stopping before God Arrives?

So he was forcing himself.

He intentionally put himself in such a situation, without preparing any backup, directly challenging God Arrives, confronting Yue Leng!

He wanted to repeatedly push his limits amidst life and death to see his own path!

This process was extremely dangerous because Yue Leng was neither his mentor nor a relative or friend; he would definitely not show any mercy.

Yin Guan was facing a true life-and-death crisis.

It was an extreme sprint on the edge of a cliff; a single failure would lead to an immediate plunge into the abyss.

For a time, Jiang Wang thought Yin Guan had already failed.

But at this moment, he was like a Deity arriving in this world!

Even the sunlight on the horizon couldn’t outshine him, and he stood proudly above thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

He caught the falling weapon of intimidation with one hand and met the barely concealed surprise and anger in Yue Leng’s eyes.

“Had enough, Yue the arrest officer?”

It was only at the moment when King of Qin Guang achieved God Arrives that Yue Leng understood the role he had played in this battle.

In the previous battles, Yin Guan had continuously burst forth with his strongest state.

It seemed that he was turning to evil under Yue Leng’s pressure, but in fact, all of this had always been his own choice.

When turning to evil, he closed off his five senses and seven consciousnesses, allowing his body to be eroded by Incantation power, allowing those complex evil thoughts to dominate his body.

With only his tremendous willpower, he ingrained an instinct.

The instinct to attack Yue Leng.

He treated his own body like a piece of scrap iron and threw it into the furnace.

It would either melt away or become a blade!

And he, Yue Leng, naturally became the hammer in forging iron, hammer by hammer smashing away Yin Guan’s “impurities.”

Hand-forged a hundred times, he turned Yin Guan into steel.

That powerful yet extremely chaotic curse power, under his God Descending Realm’s mighty attack, was thoroughly tempered.

The countless “evil thoughts” were eliminated, only preserving the most pure power of the Incantations themselves.

At the last moment of his life, Yin Guan returned, immediately integrated all the unaware powers, merged them into a single furnace, destroyed and then established, and with that ascended to Godhood!

If this process were a breath faster, the “impurities” would not be cleaned out, and he wouldn’t be able to ascend to Godhood immediately.

But if it were a breath slower, the flesh body would have died, and the returning consciousness in front of Yue Leng would be meaningless, not even having the opportunity to switch to cultivating the way of the gods.

And Yin Guan, he grasped that single thread of opportunity precisely.

It was too risky, too incredible, but also too ingenious, too stunning!

“Good!

Very good!”

Of course Yue Leng was still Yue Leng.

After his shock and anger, his fighting spirit reignited instantly.

“Generations of talented individuals emerge to replace the old.

My coming out of seclusion was not in vain!”

He gripped the weapon of intimidation, and the tangible authority of the Legalists forced Yin Guan’s hand open.

If at first, he got involved in this matter simply because Zheng Shi had invited him out of seclusion to salvage the reputation of the Patrol Inspection Bureau in the Capital City.

Later, facing the evil-turning Yin Guan, as a veteran powerhouse, he wanted to take down the battle neatly and effortlessly out of pride.

But now, he had a new realization.

To kill the King of Qin Guang, he must spare no cost, regardless of life or death!

“All day long, I chase after villains, but I never thought I’d send one on his way today!”

Yue Leng’s aura surged wildly, and his distinct will began to fill this world.

“Come!

King of Qin Guang!

Use all your skills to kill me!

I would use my head to cement your fame!”

“Good!” Yin Guan also roared wildly.

“Then I shall borrow your lifetime of renown!”

Around him, once more, he was enveloped by the emerald light, and immense incantation power roared like tidal waves.

Yue Leng focused intently, not daring to slacken in the slightest.

But then, Yin Guan’s momentum soared.

His fists wound with green light suddenly shifted and struck the nearest cast-iron black column!

The column, which seemed to connect heaven and earth, instantly tilted, and the barrier broke on the spot.

Yin Guan shot out, reaching immediately beyond the outpost’s perimeter, and with a decisive punch, shattered the great array’s light screen.

The light screen, designed to withstand only the strength limit of the Outer Building Environment, was blasted open by a blow belonging to the God Descending Realm.

The screen ruptured and then sealed again, but Yin Guan had already transformed into a streak of azure light, vanishing into the sky.

Leaving only Yue Leng in the original spot.

Even from the beginning, Yin Guan had never thought of escaping.

He didn’t even glance at the cast-iron black column; from the start, it was attack, attack, attack.

What he left behind for Yue Leng was an impression of genius but madness, dauntlessness beyond measure, recklessly unafraid to die.

How could the King of Qin Guang not have such pride if he dares to contend against a God Arrives?

It was only natural for him to attempt to kill Yue Leng after attaining divinity.

Could the King of Qin Guang not harbor resentment?

With power, would he not want revenge?

Yet, what led Yue Leng to miscalculate again was that Yin Guan chose to flee without fighting, not even probing!

However, Jiang Wang knew; this was Yin Guan.

He didn’t care about how others perceived him.

He didn’t care what means he used or whom he hurt; he only cared about his goals.

He bore the responsibility of a leader, took the risk to attempt an assassination on the King of Taishan, and he didn’t boast about it.

Instead, he threatened to kill the King of the City.

Jiang Wang thought he was ruthless, ready to escape using the lives of his comrades without a word of explanation.

Naturally, he wasn’t noble.

He didn’t choose to flee but rather to risk his own life simply because his primary goal had never been to escape from the Qi Boundary.

Rather, it was to achieve divine transformation!

Now that this goal was reached, he immediately moved to the next one—to escape Qi Country.

It was as simple as that!

People like Yin Guan had no interest in claiming honors for defeating a deity.

Fame and fortune meant nothing to him.

Yue Leng stood in the middle of the cast-iron black column he had set up, silent.

In that moment, he seemed somewhat aged.

Despite God Descending Realm beings before death not knowing the possibility of aging.

Jiang Wang was considering how to console the great arrest officer, or perhaps it was better to pretend he had seen nothing when suddenly, his vision blurred and he saw an old man holding a white paper lantern.

His heart startled.

It was the night watchman he had encountered at the ruins of the Withering and Flourishing Temple!

Unlike Jiang Wang’s reaction, Yue Leng frowned, probably very reluctant to have his failure “seen” by more people, but it was already a fact.

The mighty arrest officer wouldn’t lack the courage to face reality.

“You are late; the King of Qin Guang has already escaped.”

The blind night watchman had also not expected that in closing the doors to capture a mere Assassin Organization, two would escape at once.

He had been delayed at sea, letting Wang the Coroner get away.

Then, as he descended by sensing this place, the King of Qin Guang had also fled.

After a moment of silence, he asked just two words, “God Arrives?”

“Yes,” Yue Leng’s voice was somewhat bitter, “He broke through right in front of me.”

“Young people, remarkable.”

The blind night watchman sighed, lifting his white paper lantern and suddenly turned, using those eyes devoid of any brilliance to “look” at Jiang Wang.

This scene was deeply unsettling.

“Jiang Qingyang, you are the pride of Daqi; do you have confidence to slay this scoundrel for Daqi in the future?”
