Refining the Heavens 4 (炼天四)

Chapter 67: The Emperors of the North (Part 6)

As Yue Chang Ming expected, the Black Emperor called out to him, "Wait."

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Hah... I hate to admit it but my face never fails me in such situations..."

In his career as a cultivator, his frightening visage is a boon, although it works inversely for his love life.

Temujin continued, "Besides Reynold's life, is there something else you want?"

The Duke looked at him with a deadly glint in his eyes.

The Great Khan almost shrunk back but his powerful self-control kicked in and held him steady.

Lord Yue is frankly furious. Doesn't the Great Khan know how to speak properly? What should he do after receiving offers like this?

If he easily accepted it, his words will become suspicious, but no one here can truly fight a 15 Paramount Cultivator even if the Black Emperor just randomly fire off attacks.

The difference between them is too big.

At this time, the thief king who haven't spoken much said, "I wonder, is it truly because you have a use for Reynold that you want him alive? Why don't you try to absorb him too and kill all of us?"

"NICE SAVE!" Lord Yue thought as he shot an approving glint over.

Rielon crossed his arms and lightly nodded his hands.

No way are they going to clash with this monster.

Getting exposed set Temujin's emotions to run wild. The Great Khan here is a mere shadow of his true character and did not have to self-control he should have. Even his thoughts and mental capacity is functioning but a fraction of his true body's due to the burden from split-controlling.

This is the cost of controlling multiple bodies.

He is rash, overbearing, and without the restraints an overlord should display.

Those who are bad at controlling themselves tend to do one thing: They act guilty over the things they do not want others to know about them.

The Black Emperor was deliberate in proving his incredible control over Ki causing him to display that ability when breaking Lorelai's legs and turning the sealing stones into dust.

It hid the way his Ki goes out of control in an actual fight due to his dampened mental abilities, which is made worse after acquiring a large portion of foreign Ki from Rurik.

Instead of responding to Rielon like a normal person, the emotionally handicapped overlord decided to prove himself.

He turned to Reynold and lifted an arm towards him. Darkness started gathering into a sphere in the middle of his palm while the White Emperor screamed like a girl.

"YOU... Y... YOU STILL NEED ME!"

The Black Emperor visibly hesitated. Despite his surging feelings, he had not lost his wit and forcefully curbed his rashness.

"White Emperor Reynold, its time you prove that you are worth more alive than dead."

Reynold's hand trembled slightly before he got it under control.

He had six and a half lives after fighting with the teenagers. Lord Yue's battle with him left him with six, and he then sacrificed another life to use his Noble Art.

With five lives left, he believes he still have a chance.

He attacked suddenly like a viper.

The Duke and Thief King immediately noticed he was charging towards the teenagers and they went to stop him.
