The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 1789: A Difficult Choice

A piercing killing intent surged forward, tearing the air apart.

Tang Jue took the brunt of it, his right arm blasted out with immense power, powerful enough to split mountains and seas.

"Bang!"

But a torrent struck Tang Jue’s arm, and instantly, a tidal wave of force surged in, knocking Tang Jue back.

"Zero, he’s one of us!"

Ye Chenfeng cried out, prompting Zero to stop the attack.

"..."

Tang Jue looked at Zero fearfully, as Zero held only a branch.

He glanced at his own black Profound Iron arm, doubting his own existence.

"Where are the others?"

Ye Chenfeng asked, breathing a sigh of relief, knowing that with Zero here, everyone else was safe.

"I’ve hidden them using formations!"

Zero responded coldly, then stepped in Profound Steps, breaking the formation.

Everyone’s view suddenly brightened, and a ship appeared before them.

Ye Chenfeng and the others finally understood that the ship’s disappearance was not due to the island, but rather Zero’s formation.

This guy studies metaphysics too?

Ye Chenfeng was taken aback.

Back on the ship, everyone gathered. Ye Chenfeng briefly explained the island’s situation.

The captain said solemnly, "We are trapped on the island like the pirates. To leave, we must break the curse."

"Do you have a way?"

Ye Chenfeng asked.

Zheng Xinyi, Tang Jue, and others looked towards Zero.

Zero spoke lightly, "I need to know the terrain here. Though it’s a Western curse, it must be related to the terrain to permanently trap people here."

"Leave it to me!"

Subsequently, Ye Chenfeng used his Mist System ability to disperse the thick fog, ensuring visibility was not affected.

"Rise!"

The next moment Ye Chenfeng shouted, and the sea surged up, forming steps that spiraled upwards.

Ye Chenfeng ascended the sky ladder, enveloped by a storm.

To gain the best view, Ye Chenfeng had to reach great heights, hence he used Water System and Wind System abilities.

Soon, Ye Chenfeng rose to a significant height where people on the ground could barely see him.

"Huh, there are not just one island, but seven!"

Ye Chenfeng’s view was completely different now.

As Zero mentioned, the curse relates to the terrain.

Ye Chenfeng etched the region’s geography into his mind and then descended.

Returning to the ship, Ye Chenfeng quickly drew a map and handed it to Zero.

Meanwhile, in the Western Land of the Gods.

Thunder and lightning crackled above the Temple, transforming into layers of flowing flames, representing the gods’ fury.

"The Ice-Fire Priest is dead? How is that possible! Their blood contains the half-blood of the Divine Clan!"

"How could a human kill them! Especially when they could summon the power of gods!"

...

Various voices rose.

Finally, a majestic female voice spoke, "The Ice-Fire Priest is indeed dead, and I can no longer sense the Forbidden God King’s aura; either he has vanished or freed himself from our control!"

"What? Freed from our control? How can this be!"

"Impossible, he is fundamentally just a human!"

Two angry voices echoed.

"Hmm, next you two must personally search every corner of the world and ensure to capture the Forbidden God King!"

The authoritative female voice commanded again.

"Understood, oh great God!"

Two voices rang out simultaneously.

"A mere human has put the Land of the Gods in such disarray, needing you to take action; it is utterly disgraceful!"

"Crack, crack..."

Thunder and lightning again tore through the sky.

Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng and the others silently awaited news from Zero. Half an hour later, Zero appeared.

"What does this map look like to you?"

Zero had reshaped the map, making it more representative.

"Like a scepter!"

Ye Chenfeng remarked.

"Hmm, and the head of the scepter is the source of the curse!"

Zero pointed to the furthest island among the seven.

"Let’s set off immediately!"

Ye Chenfeng then manipulated the environment and weather to steer direction, the captain navigated the ship, heading towards another island.

Four to five hours later, they safely reached the island.

Fog!

The island was engulfed in toxic fog!

The island’s edge featured many wrecks, including those of ships and humans.

It seems the toxic fog is used to keep anyone from reaching the curse’s source; they died before getting close.

"Specialized skills for specific tasks!"

Ye Chenfeng acted again, taking time to dispel the toxic fog on the island.

"Go ashore!"

The group swiftly landed and encountered no obstacles in finding the curse’s source.

A scepter was embedded among the rocks, engraved with runes, exuding a mysterious, eerie aura, with its head set with a red gemstone, emitting a bloody glow.

"As soon as the scepter is pulled out, the curse will be lifted, and we can leave!"

Ye Tiankuang said excitedly.

Tang Jue spoke cautiously, "Wait, pulling out the scepter will indeed allow us to leave, but the undying pirates will also be rid of the curse, resurfacing."

Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, "Yes, according to them, they seem to be immortal, just like the Pirate King!"

"Releasing hundreds of immortal creatures will shock the world! That would be endless disaster!" Tang Jue said worriedly.

Others wore similar expressions, knowing that if the pirates returned, no one could stop them, spelling catastrophe.

"What should we do? If we don’t lift the curse, we’ll remain stuck here!"

"Exactly, and we can’t worry about so much now, we must leave first before finding a way to resolve this!"

The group discussed.

"Divine King, didn’t you say you could make them vanish with a touch? Why don’t you deal with them all..."

Tang Jue suggested.

Ye Chenfeng pursed his lips and replied helplessly, "I really can’t bring myself to do it. Firstly, they told me many things, secondly, they are pitiful, trapped here for centuries unable to live or die, and thirdly, I have no enmity with them."

"What should we do?"

Everyone was puzzled and troubled.

"Isn’t the legendary Forbidden God King a notorious killer demon? Why sympathize here? Not even daring to kill a few monsters? Ridiculous!"

Zero sneered.

"Nephew, is this how you talk to your uncle?"

Ye Chenfeng glared at Zero.

Zero sneered again, "Now the only way out is in your hands, yet you refuse to act. You’re not the undying pirate, we’ll just wait here to die!"

Ye Chenfeng glared at Zero once more and said, "I have a plan! However, it requires everyone’s cooperation!"

"A plan? Cooperate with you?"

The group was puzzled.

"Yes, you must cooperate with me, without any mistake!"

Ye Chenfeng said with a serious expression.
