Chapter 352 Chu Xin: Come at me all at once, I'm in a hurry
```
"Please enlighten us!"
Apart from Long Shaotian, the remaining eight Heavenly Prides of Longzhou all cried out in unison.
"Shameless!"
Su Qingyu and the others glared at them angrily. They had originally agreed that Central State would be considered the winner if they won just one match, yet the people of Longzhou were still insisting on continuing, which was utterly despicable.
However, the other party phrased their words nicely, admitting the bet and just wanting to exchange pointers with the Heavenly Prides of Central State, so they couldn't find any fault with that.
Of course, the Empress could completely refuse this kind of exchange.
"I respectfully request the Empress's consent."
Long Yusheng rose to his feet and gave a slight bow to Long Yurou. Behind him, the three Half-step Martial Gods also stood up, their Demigod suppression being emitted faintly.
Suddenly, everyone in the Martial Arts Arena felt their breathing become constricted.
"Damn it!"
Su Qingyu and the others were cursing inwardly while struggling to withstand the suppression. These bastards were actually using this method to coerce the Empress, which was extremely vile.
"Your Majesty, be careful."
The five Peak Martial Emperors appeared in front of Long Yurou, wanting to shield her from the terrifying suppression.
Long Yurou waved her hand, signalling them to step back, and then a golden Jade Seal flew out from her body, hovering above her head.
Hum!
A Fate Golden Dragon spiraled out, isolating the suppression jointly released by the three Half-step Martial Gods.
Seeing that the Empress could withstand their suppression, the three Half-step Martial Gods' eyes turned cold, wanting to increase the pressure, but they were stopped by a wave of Long Yusheng's hand.
"The Imperial Jade Seal?"
Long Yusheng, observing the golden Jade Seal floating in the air, a glint of greed flashed deep in his eyes. Only by obtaining the Imperial Jade Seal could he control the Dragon Vein and the fate of Jiuzhou. At that point, even though he was only a Peak Martial Emperor, he would be strong enough to contend with a typical Martial God, truly taking those half-gods who came down from the Divine Realm into his service.
Meanwhile, the same glint of greed flashed deep in the three Demigods' eyes.
Although they weren't from Jiuzhou, they had learned from the Blood Demon Envoy that in order to rescue the Ancient Blood Demon being suppressed, they must obtain the Imperial Jade Seal to unlock the seal.
The Ancient Blood Demon being suppressed in Jiuzhou was not the strongest amongst the Blood Demon Clan, but held a special status as the son of the Ancient Blood Demon Emperor. The sealing land of the Ancient Blood Demon Emperor was too strongly guarded, so naturally, these released Ancient Blood Demons wanted to first save the Ancient Blood Demon Prince to lead the cohorts who had broken the seal. Only by rallying all the released Ancient Blood Demons could they rescue the Ancient Blood Demon Emperor.
"Long Yusheng, do you really think I cannot kill you?"
Long Yurou's voice was ice-cold, and the Fate Golden Dragon coiling around her similarly fixed Long Yusheng with a piercing gaze. At that moment, it felt as though the entire Empire was crushing down on him, causing his breath to catch, struggling for air.
"So this is the Imperial Jade Seal? How powerful."
Long Yusheng was shaken inside, yet his greed grew even stronger.
The State Governor Seal could mobilize the Fate Power of a state, but the Imperial Jade Seal was capable of moving Jiuzhou's entire Fate Power, and its might was beyond comparison.
Hum!
The three Half-step Martial Gods took a step forward, their overwhelming presence erupting forth, shielding Long Yusheng from the pressure. Blood Light swirled around them, capable of corroding the power of fate.
Long Yurou's pupils constricted; this aura was eerily similar to the Ancient Blood Demon suppressed by Martial God Mansion.
```
Are not these three from the Divine Realm? Why do they possess the energy of the Ancient Blood Demon?
"Your Majesty can of course kill your servant; your servant will not resist,"
Long Yusheng revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, "But my three guards are quite stubborn; they won't listen to me. If they are angered, they are capable of anything. I just don't know whether Your Majesty has the means to suppress them. By the way, I should remind Your Majesty that the energy they cultivate is quite special; it can corrode the power of fate."
Long Yurou's brow furrowed slightly. She naturally had the means to suppress these three demigods, which was to summon the Empire's new Guardian God.
But as the new Guardian God was suppressing the Ancient Blood Demon, if Long Yusheng arranged for someone to strike opportunistically, things would get troublesome once the new Guardian God left the Martial God Mansion and someone attempted to destroy the Blood Demon Seal.
She had assumed Long Yusheng was unaware of the matter with the Ancient Blood Demon, but after seeing the energy of the Ancient Blood Demon on those three half-step Martial Gods, her certainty wavered.
"Empress,"
Just then, Chu Xin, who had returned to the stage and was drinking beast milk, said in a milky voice, "Didn't you say that if I won ten matches in a row, we could choose anything we wanted from the Royal Treasure Vault? You're not scared I'll empty out your vault, refusing to let me fight on purpose, are you?"
"Merely some treasures; am I afraid you'll empty it? If you want to fight, then fight."
Long Yurou said calmly and then withdrew the Imperial Jade Seal with a wave of her hand.
Long Yusheng also waved his hand, prompting the three demigods to step back.
Gazing at the composed Long Yurou, he couldn't be sure whether the Empire really had a new Guardian God and didn't dare act rashly. Turning his head toward the Jiuzhou Heavenly Prides of Longzhou, he asked, "Who will go up and experience the prowess of the beloved beast milk Commandery Princess?"
The Heavenly Prides of Longzhou fell silent; aside from Long Shaotian, the strengths of the nine of them were quite similar. If that brat could pummel his comrades' backsides, he could surely do the same to theirs, and nobody wanted to make a fool of themselves.
Chu Xin took a sip of beast milk, pointed at the Heavenly Prides of Longzhou with a naive voice and said, "All of you come up together."
She was in a hurry to fetch treasures from the Royal Treasure Vault, and after that, she needed to find a way to anger the Empress and have herself and her brother locked in the Heavenly Prison. She couldn't waste time on these villains.
Long Yurou was about to stop them when Long Yusheng beat her to it, saying, "Very well, this is a reasonable request. How could we not fulfill it? All of you, go up and truly learn the strength of the Heavenly Pride of Central State."
"Yes, State Governor,"
The Heavenly Prides of Longzhou soared into the air, landing one after another on the Martial Arts Arena, except Long Shaotian.
Chu Xin glanced at the eight Heavenly Prides of Longzhou surrounding her, then turned to the complacently seated Long Shaotian below the stage and asked in confusion, "Big villain, aren't you coming up?"
"To deal with you, they are enough,"
Long Shaotian said with a cold snort. His purpose was simple: let these people deplete the brat's energy, then he would take the stage to execute her and remove the disgrace of his previous defeat.
"They are not enough,"
Chu Xin murmured softly.
"Enough or not, we'll see after the fight,"
The eight Heavenly Prides of Longzhou were unable to contain their anger. They were all half-step Martial Emperors, and each possessed the Divine Skills of the Blood Demon Transformation. United, the eight could even challenge an ordinary Martial Emperor. Although the brat from Central State was strong, they had not sensed any fluctuations of Rule Power in her previous fights, suggesting she had probably not reached the Realm of Martial Emperor.
If they hadn't reached the Realm of Martial Emperor, their united strength was sufficient for victory.
"Fine, if the big villain doesn't want to come up, then he doesn't have to. It's just fighting one more round anyway; it shouldn't take too much time,"
Chu Xin mumbled and then stored her milk bottle into the Sumeru Ring.
"Blood Demon Transformation!"
Before the match began, the eight Heavenly Prides of Longzhou unleashed their trump card, enveloping themselves in swirls of blood mist. Their formidable auras spread out, sweeping across the entire Martial Arts Arena.
