The Emperor Dao Fruit is probably the least suitable Dao Fruit for Elder Long!

Wang Lingguan, who has followed Elder Long for many years, always knew this.

Back when the battle rewards were distributed, Elder Long actually had many options, such as the Spatial Dao Fruit that controls stars or the Illusionary Dao Fruit that can reverse illusion and reality, both of which were very suitable for someone like Elder Long, a mastermind in the shadows.

But Elder Long wanted to be king, to secure his position as a leader, so naturally, the Emperor Dao Fruit could not be given to others.

It’s very understandable, so back then he didn’t say anything, as long as he could manipulate from behind the scenes, with the frontline left to others like us.

It has always operated like this over the many years.

Who would have thought, one day, he’d be forced to act personally, and even more, never thought the opponent would be Chen Qing.

At this moment, there is actually a significant power gap between the two sides, even if possessing the Sword Dao Fruit grants the power to confront a Venerable One, it’s just barely having the qualification.

Against anyone else, Wang Lingguan wouldn’t think the opponent would win, but he’s Chen Qing!

He comes from that era, having personally witnessed how this man turned the world upside down.

In terms of calculating the human mind, maybe Elder Long doesn’t lose to this man, but when it comes to a narrow encounter...

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Lingguan frantically charged towards the place where the two were about to clash, hoping he could make it in time!

-----------------------------------

"As expected, you’ve chosen this Dao Fruit!"

Amid the momentum like a cosmic torrent, Chen Qing, like a leaf about to be torn apart, smiled. This time was indeed a gamble, and a risky one at that. He hadn’t expected himself to have such a gambler’s nature.

But this time, it was clear he’d bet correctly!

The longsword emerged, and in an instant, the leaf exploded with astonishing sword intent. Compared to the terrifying momentum opposite, it was still small, yet it had the intention to contend, like the sharpest blade slicing into a torrent.

But just this is enough!

"But it could be predicted, a person like you would never be at ease handing this Dao Fruit to anyone else."

The sword edge, unstoppable like bamboo, sliced into the cosmic torrent instantly. The leaf became the most lethal existence.

Yet the terrifying emperor who could stir cosmic energy could only watch as the leaf drew closer.

"Heaven’s Court should have obtained three Innate Dao Fruits back then." Chen Qing’s sword edge was instantly in front, seeing the handsome young man in front with a terrified expression, Chen Qing felt nothing but immense joy.

It was a feeling of the release of resentment...

"Choose any one, and I would have no chance at all. But you chose the one that least suits you!"

"Shut up!!" The emperor roared, in the extreme space between them, the time flow was hundreds of times faster than outside, the elemental flow between them also tens of thousands of times faster, the outsiders wouldn’t know that this short distance was enough for life and death to be decided!

"Even you get anxious?" Chen Qing smiled comfortably: "You love to scheme and control intrigue, but you lack the demeanor of a leader, you’ve never had the charisma of an emperor. This Dao Fruit, give it to the Three-Eyed or your daughter, they would use it best, you could fully utilize the Spatial Dao Fruit, act as the shadow behind Heaven’s Court, just as before, controlling the storm in the Central Federation from the shadows. "

"But I know you’re unwilling, you wouldn’t trust the Three-Eyed, nor your daughter, you’re the kind of person who trusts no one, likes to handle everything yourself, but ironically lacks the capacity."

"Shut up, shut up!!" For the first time, Elder Long felt an extreme defeat.

It’s been a long time since this sensation appeared, this guy, this persistent ghost, was already dead, had Liu gone mad?

Why bring this guy back?

Yet regardless of complaints, resentments, they could not stop the seemingly tiny, yet nothing uncuttable sword intent, splitting the Emperor Dao Fruit atop his head into two!!

"An emperor must exude the dominance to command the realm, borne of a lifetime’s aspiration, willing to yield the Destiny for this Dao Fruit, it wasn’t prepared for an intriguer like you, it seeks one who can lead all beings, creating hope in the forthcoming darkness."

"You... don’t deserve this!"

As Chen Qing’s words ended, the Dao Fruit seemed to sense that, further repelled by Elder Long, causing the severed Dao Fruit, to have almost no intention of healing.

"Chen Qing, you should die!!" Elder Long roared.

"Look at you, no amount of anger hides your fear." Chen Qing sheathed his sword, with a cold smile: "You know, from the moment I got close to you, I knew I wouldn’t lose. Even if our power gap seems so vast, I knew you can’t do it, no matter how strong the power you hold.

You’re not a player, nor an emperor, holding something that doesn’t match you forcibly, it’s just holding it."

Elder Long opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but this time he found no words, he watched as the Dao Fruit would rather be severed by Chen Qing than continue to obey him, opened his mouth, wanting to call out, yet realized, his throat had long been severed!

"Chen Qing... Chen... we can talk... still cooperate..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to call out, yet realized, his throat had long been severed!

In truth, he had sensed it long ago, from the moment Chen Qing appeared, he knew he couldn’t win, deep inside he knew his fear, and the holder of the Emperor Dao Fruit can be insidious, brutal, calculating, but must never be cowardly.

From the moment fear arose in his heart, he knew he couldn’t win...

"Your Majesty!!"

The distance of a step felt like traversing endless rivers of time for Wang Lingguan, finally he reached his leader’s side, holding him protectively.

But upon holding him, he realized the life of the Heavenly Emperor, had been severed!

"No...no!"

Wang Lingguan couldn’t believe the master mind, who had several times changed the world, this great man, had died just like that.

He doesn’t believe it!

"Chen Qing!!"

Wang Lingguan roared, unleashing a terrifying storm with powerful force, shattering all surrounding elements!

Chen Qing saw it all, his eyes filled with intense resolve, the Power Dao Fruit, one of the Postnatal Peak Dao Fruits, the ultimate of power, pure as could be, Elder Long’s most trusted bodyguard.

In terms of individual strength, even the Three-Eyed God General might not be his match!

At this moment, having exhausted the Sword Dao Fruit to its limits, the chance to face this man is one in a billion.

If he fights, he’ll surely die!

"He’s dead!"

But even facing such hopeless battle, without a shred of fear, Chen Qing unsheathed his sword again.

"Will you die with him?" Chen Qing asked seriously!
