Chapter 569 - 567: The Black Sheep

Chang Mao was now determined to kill Mr. Qiu Shui.

After all, as long as Mr. Qiu Shui was around, he would never have a chance to become President.

"Haha, excellent. You want to kill me."

"You’ve already tried to hunt me down once. Let’s see how you’re going to kill me this time."

Mr. Qiu Shui laughed, his fury reaching its peak.

He looked at Chang Mao and Wenzhu with a mocking expression.

Now that his Cultivation had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm, even Chang Mao and Wenzhu combined were no match for him. He had nothing to fear.

Immediately, he took a step forward.

His body trembled violently.

"HUMMM!"

A terrifying aura erupted from him.

"This... Mr. Qiu Shui’s Cultivation has actually reached the Martial Emperor Realm."

"Terrifying, simply terrifying. It looks like Chang Mao and Wenzhu are in for it this time."

"That’s right. Chang Mao and Wenzhu are both at the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens, but how can they possibly be a match for Mr. Qiu Shui, who now has the Cultivation of a Martial Emperor?"

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

They were astonished by Mr. Qiu Shui’s breakthrough in Cultivation.

Chang Mao and Wenzhu hadn’t believed Mr. Qiu Shui had broken through before, but seeing this now, their hearts sank.

’He really broke through to Martial Emperor Cultivation.’

’Damn it, how could this happen?’

The expressions on their faces were extremely ugly.

They exchanged a glance.

The apprehension in each other’s eyes was clear.

However, both Chang Mao and Wenzhu gritted their teeth. Chang Mao said, "Junior Sister, we have to fight him with everything we’ve got."

At that moment, Mr. Qiu Shui wore a cold sneer.

He stared them down.

A Celestial Dragon coiled around his body, a flying dragon in the heavens.

His might was unparalleled at that moment.

He had returned with absolute confidence, enough to suppress and kill Chang Mao and Wenzhu.

"Chang Mao, Wenzhu, you two schemed against me. Today, it’s finally my turn to deal with you."

"Now, die!"

With that, he let out a low roar. The Celestial Dragon instantly shot across the sky, its four claws flailing as it roared fiercely and charged toward Chang Mao and Wenzhu.

Wenzhu and Chang Mao each unleashed their own Divine Techniques.

They began to battle fiercely with Mr. Qiu Shui.

The two were indeed renowned experts. Even when facing Mr. Qiu Shui with his Martial Emperor Cultivation, they fought with extreme ferocity.

However, a Martial Emperor’s Cultivation was a Martial Emperor’s Cultivation. At this moment, Mr. Qiu Shui was simply too powerful.

They were no match for him at all.

"BOOM! BOOM!"

With two thunderous booms, Wenzhu and Chang Mao were sent flying backward.

They flew right off the high platform and crashed heavily onto the ground.

The crowd scattered in an uproar.

Internal strife in the Alchemist Guild was an extremely rare sight. The crowd was left speechless.

But they were all enjoying the show.

"Master! Master...!"

Wen Shixuan had been waiting for his two masters to kill Jiang Chen, but instead, this twist occurred. Mr. Qiu Shui had appeared out of nowhere and suppressed his two masters.

He rushed over, looking at his two masters who had fallen to the ground.

He was extremely anxious.

"Cough... cough..."

Chang Mao and Wenzhu both struggled up from the ground.

But their chests had been struck by the Celestial Dragon. Everything was churning inside them, and blood trickled continuously from the corners of their mouths.

Their eyes held a look of utter shock.

They never expected the gap between them and Mr. Qiu Shui to be so immense.

This was the difference between Martial Arts Cultivation and Martial Emperor Cultivation.

Even though the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens was only a single step away from the Martial Emperor Realm, in terms of Combat Power, that single step made them completely incomparable.

A Martial Emperor’s Combat Power was a hundred times that of a Martial Arts expert.

Of course, even a hundred Chang Maos and Wenzhus combined would be no match for Mr. Qiu Shui.

The difference in strength was obvious.

"Masters, how are you?"

Wen Shixuan supported Chang Mao and Wenzhu.

They both shook their heads.

"It’s nothing. Just a minor injury."

They looked at Mr. Qiu Shui, their eyes filled with the light of hatred.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had been watching everything unfold. He had brought Mr. Qiu Shui here precisely so that Mr. Qiu Shui could resolve the Alchemist Guild’s internal affairs himself.

Now, the situation was completely under Mr. Qiu Shui’s control.

What surprised him, however, was that Wen Shixuan was actually the apprentice of Chang Mao and Wenzhu.

This meant that the backer behind Wen Shixuan was actually the Alchemist Guild.

With that kind of power, he was naturally much stronger than the Third Prince.

’This is the perfect chance to get rid of Wen Shixuan for the Third Prince, all in one go,’ Jiang Chen secretly resolved. ’The rest will be easy.’

After Mr. Qiu Shui defeated Chang Mao and Wenzhu, he turned to the crowd.

He cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, I am Mr. Qiu Shui, the current President of the Alchemist Guild."

"There is no need to doubt this. I was previously targeted for assassination by Chang Mao and Wenzhu, who hunted me all the way to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain."

"Fortunately, I was saved by a benefactor and even had a fortuitous encounter that allowed my Cultivation to break through. That is why my appearance has suddenly changed so drastically."

"I have returned today to clean house and completely purge traitors like Chang Mao and Wenzhu from the Alchemist Guild."

The crowd was once again in a speechless uproar.

No one had expected the conflict within the Alchemist Guild to be so irreconcilable.

Even the President himself had been the target of a treacherous plot.

However, no one could be completely sure of the twists and turns of right and wrong in this matter.

All they could do was continue to watch.

After all, this was just the Alchemist Guild’s private affair.

After his explanation, Mr. Qiu Shui once again turned his gaze to Chang Mao and Wenzhu, whom he had already severely injured.

His eyes glinted with killing intent as he looked at them and rebuked, "Chang Mao, Wenzhu, you two are utterly depraved and have committed countless evil deeds. Today, you will receive the punishment you deserve."

"Will you end your own lives, or must I do it myself?"

Chang Mao and Wenzhu gnashed their teeth at Mr. Qiu Shui.

Chang Mao said viciously, "Mr. Qiu Shui, you really know how to hide your true strength."

"So this was all your conspiracy."

"We’ve certainly learned our lesson."

"However, if you think this is enough to make us submit, you’re dreaming."

"To be honest, it’s about time the position of President of the Alchemist Guild changed hands."

"Don’t you agree?"

He felt that he had been completely outplayed by Mr. Qiu Shui this time.

He was unwilling to accept it.

But facing Mr. Qiu Shui, whose Cultivation had soared, they truly had no chance of defeating him.

"Heh, change? Of course, it should change."

"But even if we were to change Presidents, the position should not go to treacherous villains like you and Wenzhu."

"Putting that aside, have you two decided how you want to die today?"

With that, Mr. Qiu Shui flew down from the platform, pressing toward Chang Mao and Wenzhu.

He would not hesitate to kill them.

"Don’t hurt my masters!"

Wen Shixuan immediately jumped out. If his masters fell, his backing from the Alchemist Guild would completely crumble.

Even within the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, he would completely lose his power and fall behind the Second Prince, Wen Shixi.

"Wen Shixuan, you are the Crown Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. I don’t want to harm you."

"The ones I want to kill are your masters."

Mr. Qiu Shui also knew that killing Wen Shixuan would be detrimental to the Alchemist Guild.

He casually waved a hand, sending out a wave of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that directly restrained Wen Shixuan.

Then, he looked at Chang Mao and Wenzhu.

Seeing this, Chang Mao and Wenzhu exchanged a look.

Chang Mao suddenly sneered, "Mr. Qiu Shui, you are far too arrogant."

"Today, we’ll show you what we’re really capable of."
