Keyboard Immortal-Chapter 2534: What Should I Do Now?

“I’m trying to irk you?” Yumen Beiqing laughed. “I shan’t question your affairs, so don’t bother questioning my affairs either.”

The dashing man frowned, but he chose not to argue with her. “Fine, I shan’t question you, but I’ll be killing that man. As for this woman...” Looking at the Mermaid Queen’s beautiful face, he murmured, “It would be a pity to kill her. I’ll bring her with me.”

Yumen Beiqing sneered, “You’re true to your character. You won’t be touching either of them, though. They are my people.”

The dashing man frowned. He eyed the man standing amid the tribulation clouds, and saw that the latter was more handsome than him and had a physique that would make women go crazy. He suddenly had an ominous feeling. “You couldn’t have truly fallen for that man, did you?”

His killing intent deepened.

“It has nothing to do with you. Don’t foil my plan.” Yumen Beiqing glared at him with cold eyes.

The dashing man breathed a sigh of relief. She’s scheming something after all.

“Forget it. Since you insist, I shall spare them on your account," he said. He walked closer to Yumen Beiqing to better admire her beauty. “Your current body looks so beautiful. Shall we get intimate like that? Perhaps we can find the passion we used to have.”

Yumen Beiqing stepped back to avoid his touch. With eyes as sharp as daggers, she bellowed, “Scram!”

The dashing man’s face twisted in anger. “I am the next Celestial Emperor, which makes you the next Celestial Empress. Are you going to snub me?”

Yumen Beiqing continued staring at him with cold eyes, not saying a word.

The dashing man harrumphed coldly. “Forget it!”

Feeling displeased, he flung his sleeves and morphed into a golden light. Before leaving, he took one last glance at the Mermaid Queen. She’s gorgeous. Why have I never heard about her before? I should look into her and approach her once Xihe is gone...

Following his departure, the Mermaid Queen’s perception of time reverted to normal. She anxiously scanned her surroundings while asking, “Where’s that golden man?”

Yumen Beiqing calmly replied, “What golden man? You must have been hallucinating because of the tribulation clouds.”

“Did I?” The Mermaid Queen rubbed her head in confusion. Was it a hallucination?

Yumen Beiqing wasn’t in the mood to deal with her. She fell into deep thought. Why was Dijun here? Could it be that he’s involved in everything too? But that doesn’t make sense! Why would he...

“Saintess, the tribulation lightning resembles the celestial warriors you summoned earlier.” The Mermaid Queen tugged at Yumen Beiqing, jolting her from her thoughts.

Yumen Beiqing looked over and saw that the tribulation lightning had morphed into an army of celestial warriors that charged straight at Zu An.

The Mermaid Queen was horrified. “There are so many of them! Do you have a way to control those celestial warriors?”

Yumen Beiqing looked at the golden-armored warriors in the heavenly tribulation with cold eyes. Even if I could control them, why would I do so?

Even Zu An was intimidated by the sight of so many massive warriors charging at him.

“Don’t worry. The Tai’e Sword is a deity-grade weapon, after all. I won’t be affected by the heavenly lightning in here,” Mi Li suddenly said.

“Master empress!” Zu An was delighted to hear her.

“You’re at the heart of the heavenly lightning, so I’ll be going into hibernation soon. Be careful, especially for the next few waves of heavenly tribulation. Make sure to remain steadfast to your true nature. If need be, ask that Saintess for help,” Mi Li quickly said before falling silent.

Zu An was confused. What does Mi Li mean by those words? Why did she tell me to ask little sister Ling’er for help? Her cultivation is beneath mine, and she knows less about the heavenly tribulation than me. How would she be able to help me?

But faced with the onslaught of the celestial warriors, he had no time to ponder these questions.

He brought out his Rune Weapon Chart. Golden ripples appeared behind him, and several weapons, including the Tai’e Sword and the Human Emperor Seal, drifted out from within. He sent those weapons hurtling toward the celestial warriors.

The celestial warriors brandished their blades to deflect the incoming weapons, but unfortunately, the Rune Weapon Chart could conjure unlimited weapons. By the time the celestial warriors deflected the first wave, the second wave had already arrived.

The weapons conjured by the Rune Weapon Chart included Gatling guns, bombs, attack helicopters, bombers, and fighter jets; things that no one here had ever seen before.

Even Yumen Beiqing was stunned. What are these things that man has brought out?

In contrast, the Mermaid Queen was overjoyed. Her eyes gleamed with excitement.

Zu An opened his hands and enjoyed the boundless ki around him. This world was even richer in ki than the time he entered this place in the future. Only such a colossal amount of ki could sustain his continuous generation of weapons.

Most cultivators feared going up against an army, let alone one of these celestial warriors' caliber. But Zu An’s Rune Weapon Chart could unleash unlimited attacks, making it the ideal weapon against armies.

The only downside to his Rune Weapon Chart was its terrifying ki consumption. Even with a colossal amount of ki to tap, he gradually approached his limit, resulting in a steadily decreasing number of conjured weapons.

It was a relief that the previous bombardments had destroyed most of the celestial warriors, and the few survivors’ golden lights had become dim.

So, Zu An decided to stow away his Rune Weapon Chart and instead charge at the celestial warriors with his Tai’e Sword. Sword ki rampaged amid the tribulation clouds. The remaining celestial warriors collapsed in the blink of an eye, turning into specks of golden light that lingered in the air; Zu An unleashed the Taotie’s Heaven-Devouring Sutra to absorb the specks.

A formation that aided in the recovery of Zu An's life force and ki suddenly appeared beneath him. He glanced at the Mermaid Queen, who was playing her harp from afar, and acknowledged her with a smile before focusing on his recovery. Soon, his almost depleted ki became plentiful once more.

Yumen Beiqing watched their interaction with impassive eyes. A frown slowly formed on her face. What should I do now?
