Chapter 635 The Humiliated Liu Yun? A 'Dead Man' Not Worthy of Qiongqiong Chuzun's He

Faced with the declaration of war from Ashihara and Takamagahara, Susanoo readily accepted it.

As the 'God of Destruction', he is never afraid of war. In fact, he has initiated many large-scale wars in the divine realm. Therefore, some people in the folk also call Susanoo the 'God of War'!

Seeing that the conflict between the two sides had become irreconcilable, the gods simply stopped trying to persuade them. All parties had no choice but to accept this fact and then went back to their respective homes to prepare for war!

"Your Majesty, I have successfully completed the mission. This is the target you were tasked with killing, as well as the ancient artifact—the Kusanagi Sword..."

Seeing Susanoo return after the argument, Ryuun quickly offered up the severed head and the divine weapon he was holding.

"Hmm...not bad...not bad..." Susanoo subconsciously wanted to say 'not bad,' but thinking about how this brat had caused him trouble again, he could only say 'not bad' with a straight face...

He took the Kusanagi Sword from Ryuun's hand, and then waved his hand toward the head of the priest holding the sword.

Liu Yun nodded in understanding, and the next second he put the head of the sword-wielding priest into his Divine Might Small World and accurately threw it into the Corpse Lake.

"Having a space within his body?" Susanoo was quite surprised by Ryuun's move. He had just briefly sensed that small world of divine power, and it was clear that such an ability to create an inner space was quite rare even in the realm of gods.

"It's just a trivial trick..." Liu Yun said modestly.

"..."

Susanoo glanced at him but didn't say much. This human had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and he wondered which corner he had suddenly appeared from.

"After so many years, you have returned to my hands once more..."

Susanoo stroked the Kusanagi sword in his hand, a look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.

The story of slaying the snake and seizing the sword is the most glorious and widely circulated mythical event in his life.

"Ama-no-Murakumo... Uchiha Ryuun... This divine sword is quite fitting for you, but unfortunately, your current achievements are far from enough for me to bestow this sword upon you..."

Susanoo casually wiped the sun god's mark off the Kusanagi sword, and then spoke to Ryuun intentionally or unintentionally.

Liu Yun was clearly stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Susanoo to say such a thing. After all, this ancient artifact was extremely valuable, and even Amaterasu, Nyanko-no-Mikoto, and others valued it highly. Yet Susanoo now had the idea of ​​bestowing it upon him!

Although she didn't know whether the other party was sincere or not, Liu Yun still lowered her head and showed her attitude:

"One cannot accept a reward without merit. If the Divine Lord were to bestow a divine artifact so lightly, it would be difficult to gain the support of the people. Your subordinate understands!"

"Hmph, I don't even know if you're truly sensible or just pretending..." Susanoo chuckled meaningfully.

"..."

Liu Yun understood that he was referring to things that were deliberately causing him trouble, and at this moment he could only lower his head and pretend to be an honest person...

"Since you have passed my test, I hereby bestow upon you a general's mansion, 10 beautiful concubines, 100 servants, and 1000 guards. You shall stay in the general's mansion for now. In the coming period of war, you shall be at my command at any time!"

After a moment of silence, Susanoo bestowed a reward and gave instructions to Ryuun.

"Thank you for bestowing this mansion upon me, Your Majesty. I will be at your service at any time. However, I shall not request the concubine. I already have a wife and I am afraid I am not worthy of such a gift..." Liu Yun felt he had taken a step back from the bestowal of the reward.

Upon hearing Liu Yun's words, Susanoo was visibly taken aback for a moment, then spoke with a strange expression:

"What's wrong? A grown man like you is afraid of your wife? Or is it that you're impotent?"

"Hahaha……"

As soon as Susanoo said this, the surrounding guards burst into laughter.

In Izumo, a country rife with male chauvinism, if one man accuses another of being henpecked or afraid of his wife, it's an absolute humiliation... and if he's impotent, the humiliation is even greater... yet Susanoo still said it...

This also shows that this guy has really low emotional intelligence; he just says whatever comes to mind and doesn't watch his mouth at all...

"Your Majesty is joking. Women only slow down my sword-drawing speed. If one woman is hindered, I still have a second hand to draw my sword. Any more than that and it won't work... As for my other half, my wife's steadfast companionship is certainly not a problem..."

Liu Yun calmly responded to the ridicule of the crowd. As soon as he said these words, everyone stopped laughing in surprise.

"Women affect the speed of drawing the sword... Haha, you're quite an interesting fellow!" Susanoo continued to laugh, his gaze towards Ryuun now filled with even more appreciation.

“You all need to learn from this guy. Stop wasting your energy by hanging out with women all day. You're all like spineless cowards, talking about the spirit of Bushido. You can't even draw your sword properly…”

Susanoo turned around and began to reprimand the guards around him. The group of guards immediately looked embarrassed and hurriedly nodded and bowed.

Inside the Imperial Palace of Ashihara Province.

"Your Majesty, the body of the arsonist has been stolen. He used some kind of spatial ability (spirit communication), and we were caught off guard, so..." A subordinate hurriedly reported the situation to Qiongqiong Chuzun upon his return.

"waste!"

With a fierce shout, Qiongqiong Chuzun raised his hand and sent the True God Realm subordinate flying far away, causing him to spit out blood and suffer serious injuries!

After taking a breather from his subordinates, Qiongqiong Chuzun managed to calm down.

"Your Majesty, we have launched a full investigation into this matter. According to our preliminary understanding, we have discovered that a prince is involved..." A minister said, forcing himself to speak.

"Huh???" Upon hearing this news, Qiongqiong Chuzun's anger, which she had managed to suppress, flared up again.

After ascertaining the identity of the imperial grandson involved in the incident, Qiongqiong Chuzun spoke coldly: "No matter who it is, anyone who participates in the struggle for the divine artifact must pay the price. Execute everyone guarding the Sword Temple. If they can't even protect a legendary artifact, then they have no reason to live!"

"Furthermore, find out the true identities of those villains who fled to Izumo as soon as possible. I must let them know that if they offend Ashihara Province, I will make sure they suffer a terrible death no matter where they flee to. Even Susanoo cannot protect them!"

Even now, Qiongqiong Chuzun still hasn't realized that the sword-snatching assassin who slashed at him was the same strong ant from before...

First, Liu Yun's aura had changed drastically. Second, he deliberately altered his appearance before taking action. Third, Qiongqiong Chuzun simply couldn't be bothered to remember a 'former dead person,' even though six hundred years wasn't a long time...

Liu Yun grew from an ant to a powerful figure who could wield a sword against him in just a few hundred years. Qiongqiong Chuzun would never associate the two together, because such a thing was too incredible!
