Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 249: Kill Without Mercy, Sunken Star Island Belongs to Great Xia
Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Kill Without Mercy, Sunken Star Island Belongs to Great Xia
Too many to count.
There was no need to count at all.
The Star Source Crystal Cores Chu Sheng produced piled up into a small mountain. A rough glance revealed at least sixty or seventy of them!
And that was only because the total number of Star Source Crystal Cores in the entire Secret Realm was limited. Otherwise, with Chu Sheng’s cheat-like efficiency and Speed, he could have gathered even more!
Gu Yuexi had thirty. Add to that Chu Sheng’s sixty or seventy, and the total was nearly one hundred!
This number not only completely crushed the thirty-nine Crystal Cores the Philippines and Yue Country had obtained through cheating, but it even… surpassed the combined total from the past three Three Kingdoms Grand Competitions!
“BZZZ BZZZ.” ’Is that enough?’
Chu Sheng let out a lazy buzz and crawled back onto Gu Yuexi’s shoulder, his great deed done and his name hidden from the world.
Silence!
A deathly silence!
The people from the Philippines and Yue Country were completely dumbfounded, staring slack-jawed at the small mountain of Crystal Cores, their minds utterly blank.
The smug smile on Hu’an’s face froze solid, replaced by utter shock and disbelief. His eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets!
As for Ruan Jin, his lips trembled, and for a long moment, he couldn’t utter a single word.
’Impossible! Absolutely impossible!’
’Since when were there so many Star Source Crystal Cores in the Ancient Sunken Star Vein?! This defies all logic!’
It wasn’t just them; even the people on Great Xia’s side looked as if they had seen a ghost.
“Almost… a hundred?”
“Holy crap, Gu Yuexi, our Future Empress, is already incredible, but I never thought the Divine Mosquito would be even more outrageous! A hundred Crystal Cores! Are there really that many inside the Ancient Sunken Star Vein?”
“So damn badass! The Future Empress plus a Contracted Beast with an Emperor-level Bloodline… that combination is invincible!”
“All hail Great Xia! All hail Gu Yuexi! All hail the Divine Mosquito!!!”
Shock, elation, admiration, and a torrent of other emotions finally erupted into a single, unified roar.
And amidst this unified roar, Gu Yuexi once again donned her Empress Battle Armor.
She took a step forward, and her clear, cold, majestic voice echoed across the entirety of Sunken Star Island:
“The contest is decided!”
“As per our agreement, from this day forward, Sunken Star Island and its subsidiary Secret Realm, the Ancient Sunken Star Vein, shall be under the permanent jurisdiction of our Great Xia!”
Her gaze, sharp as a sword, swept over the teams from the Philippines and Yue Country.
“Effective immediately, no one who is not a citizen of our Great Xia is permitted to set a single foot on Sunken Star Island.”
“This applies not only to the people of the Philippines and Yue Country, but to all of you as well—from the Island Country, the Goryeo Kingdom, and the White Eagle Empire.”
“Any who dare trespass… will be killed without mercy!”
Those three cold words, laced with a biting killing intent, sent a chill through the hearts of many.
As her voice faded, a shiver went through everyone. Even Ye Qingzhou stared at Gu Yuexi’s back in astonishment, a brilliant light then erupting in his eyes.
’Is Gu Yuexi seizing this opportunity to directly incorporate Sunken Star Island into Great Xia’s territory?’
After all, Sunken Star Island had originally been nothing more than a small, unclaimed overseas island. The discovery of the Ancient Sunken Star Secret Realm was the sole reason for the recent conflict among the Three Kingdoms.
Originally, Great Xia had only won permanent control of Sunken Star Island from the Philippines and Vietnam. But now, Gu Yuexi was dominantly declaring that all other nations were also forbidden from setting foot on it!
’That’s right!’
’The ruined palace within the Ancient Sunken Star Vein is clearly in the architectural style of ancient Great Xia. Therefore, it should belong to Great Xia.’
’By what right should people from these Foreign Countries be allowed to enter the Secret Realm and take its Crystal Cores and Spiritual Artifacts?’
At this thought, the hearts of the Great Xia members surged with passion. The initial joy of victory transformed into a more noble, fervent patriotism!
Just then, a harsh, quacking voice suddenly rang out.
“Baka!”
An allied expert from the Island Country, part of the Philippines’ team, couldn’t stop himself from jumping out and roaring in anger:
“How arrogant! The ones who made an agreement with you were the Philippines and Yue Country. By what right do you think you can restrict our Island Country!”
Almost simultaneously, a prodigy from the White Eagle Empire also stepped forward arrogantly and sneered:
“Exactly! I am a proud citizen of the White Eagle Empire. It’s not your place, Great Xia, to tell me where I can and cannot go!”
However, the words had barely left their mouths—
Gu Yuexi moved!
No one saw how she did it. They only saw two perfectly focused Spiritual Shocks instantly pierce through the center of each man’s brow!
The expressions on their faces froze instantly, and the light faded from their eyes. Then… they collapsed, stiff as boards. Dead.
Insta-killed!
It was clean and decisive, with no wasted movements!
“I told you!”
Gu Yuexi slowly lowered her hand, her voice now tinged with a hint of an empress’s might:
“This island belongs to Great Xia.”
“Any outsider who sets foot on this island will be considered an invader and will be killed without pardon.”
“If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to try.”
Her expression was calm, yet her tone carried an undeniable finality and dominance!
At that moment, Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng—a woman and a mosquito—stood before the Great Xia contingent, facing the forty-strong team before them.
Two against forty.
Yet their presence was completely and utterly overwhelming!
Among the young prodigies in the camps of the Philippines and Yue Country, including their foreign allies, not one person dared to meet Gu Yuexi’s gaze.
Some even found it difficult to breathe under the pressure of her aura!
…
Seeing this, seeing the dead prodigies from the Island Country and the White Eagle Empire on the ground, Hu’an trembled with a mixture of shock and fury, his powerful aura flaring uncontrollably. Ruan Jin’s eyes held a venomous glare as Energy fluctuated around his body.
“Gu Yuexi! How dare you!”
Unable to hold back, they were about to strike Gu Yuexi, their Emperor Realm auras erupting with a BOOM!
However, at that moment, a cold snort cracked the air like thunder! “Hmph!” Ye Qingzhou took a single step forward, unleashing his own Emperor Level might!
BOOM! The might of an Emperor Realm expert, once again facing two!
This time, however, the stalemate lasted only a few seconds before the auras of Hu’an and Ruan Jin were crushed and scattered!
“What now?”
“Still want to make a move?”
Ye Qingzhou’s gaze was like lightning as it swept over the two men.
“Could it be that you, the Philippines and Yue Country… intend to declare a national war on our Great Xia?!”
Those two words, “national war,” slammed into the hearts of Hu’an and Ruan Jin like a hammer of immeasurable weight!
The color drained from their faces instantly.
In an instant, all the fight went out of them.
They forcefully swallowed the rage and humiliation that had been boiling inside them.
’A national war with Great Xia?’
’Their masters in the shadows might dare, but our two countries could absolutely not afford the price!’
’The only reason the Philippines and Vietnam had been able to contend with Great Xia on somewhat equal footing these past few years was that Great Xia hadn’t taken this region seriously, delegating full responsibility to Hong Kong Island alone.’
’If Great Xia ever got serious… the Philippines and Vietnam? If it weren’t for the other nations backing them, they’d be nothing more than stray dogs and feral chickens!’
’Those young prodigies from the Philippines and Yue Country were like frogs in a well; they didn’t understand this.’
’But top-tier experts like Hu’an and Ruan Jin were painfully aware of the truth.’
“Fine! Fine! So this is Great Xia!”
“City Lord Ye, you’ve won today. But you killed a prodigy from the Island Country and a citizen of the White Eagle Empire. Just you wait. They will absolutely not let this matter rest!”
Hu’an forced the words through gritted teeth.
“We’re leaving!”
Ruan Jin shot a venomous glare at Gu Yuexi and Ye Qingzhou, then waved his hand to lead his team away.
However, just then, Chu Sheng, who had been lazily perched on Gu Yuexi’s lovely shoulder watching the drama unfold, decided to buzz.
“BZZZ BZZZ.”
“BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ, BZZZ BZZZ.”
The teams from the Philippines and Yue Country paused, confused.
Gu Yuexi instantly understood his meaning and stepped forward.
“Heh, allow me to translate for my mosquito.”
“You can go. But you’ll leave your things behind!”
