Dragon-Marked War God

“You actually killed the Second Palace Lord?”

Rumbles of thunder came from the void as three figures broke through the air and arrived. Dou Qing’s eyes were wide with fury as he glared fixedly at Dragon Shisan. At this moment, the entire Profound Connection Divine Palace was in an uproar, but it was an uproar of panic and anxiety, terror and rage. Jiang Chen had killed the Third Palace Lord, and now Dragon Shisan had killed the Second Palace Lord. For them, the Profound Connection Divine Palace had been like hell on earth during this period, and they had fallen into complete despair.

The Great Elder, Lin Youkang and the others were in total disarray, because this was simply not something they could contend with. Now that the Second Palace Lord was dead, it was like a bolt from the blue for them. Their backbone was gone. Two of the three Palace Lords were dead, and the Palace Lord was still off roaming the world with no date set for his return. How difficult their situation was could easily be imagined.

The Second Palace Lord’s death was a fatal blow to the Profound Connection Divine Palace. Having lost its Half-step Emperor-level expert, the entire Profound Connection Divine Palace was now like a single tree trying to hold up a building. Neither Lin Youkang nor the Great Elder nor anyone else could carry on, nor could they become the true master of the Profound Connection Divine Palace. This made them utterly anxious, like ants on a hot pan.

“So what? If you want to fight, then fight. Why all this nonsense?”

Dragon Shisan roared, not afraid of Dou Qing at all. At this moment, his Battle Saint Technique had reached perfection. Although he had suffered no small injuries, Dragon Shisan would still not take a single step back. If he was going to fight, he would fight fearlessly and charge bravely forward. This was his belief, and even more so his obsession.

“You reckless fellow, so arrogant! After killing the Second Palace Lord you’re still so insolent. Although I am a member of the Battle God Clan, today I cannot shirk this duty. I will certainly take your dog’s life.”

Dou Qing said in a deep voice, sounding righteous, his face full of pride. Now that the Second Palace Lord was dead, he had also come back. Or rather, he had never left at all. He had been waiting for exactly this moment. If Dragon Shisan hadn’t made his move, Dou Qing would have forcibly stepped in to get rid of the Second Palace Lord himself. It was just that someone had done what needed to be done for him, so wouldn’t that make things even easier for him? And he could even play the envoy of justice. Wasn’t such a good thing wonderful?

“Senior Dou, we beg you to uphold justice for our Profound Connection Divine Palace. If this villain isn’t eliminated, the hatred in our hearts can never be relieved. The Second Palace Lord died so unjustly.”

The Great Elder’s face was ashen. The situation had already spun completely out of control. That an expert of the Battle God Clan was able to protect his Profound Connection Divine Palace was already not easy. For them, it was the greatest comfort. The Great Elder didn’t know how long they would have to wait for the Palace Lord to return, but at this moment, petty villains were running rampant and their Profound Connection Divine Palace was being bullied. When had they ever suffered such a grievance? The anger in the Great Elder’s heart had shot straight up to the sky, but he had no choice. He was no match for Dragon Shisan either, and could only place all his hopes in the hands of the three experts of the Battle God Clan.

“I am deeply sorry about the Second Palace Lord’s death. But at this moment, you can rest assured that I will absolutely not let this villain continue to run rampant and remain at large. I, Dou Qing, will certainly kill him swiftly, to give the Profound Connection Divine Palace justice and bring peace back to Xing Yin County. This Dou cannot shirk his duty.”

Dou Qing’s face was serious as he glanced at the Great Elder. Several elders were moved to tears, unable to express their gratitude, and became extremely respectful toward Dou Qing, because they all knew that Dou Qing was their last straw to clutch at. If they didn’t grab onto it, even the Profound Connection Divine Palace itself might be in danger.

This was no exaggeration. They knew better than anyone that Xing Yin County was not home to just one great power. If news of the deaths of the Second and Third Palace Lords spread, the Profound Connection Divine Palace would surely have an extremely hard time. The Palace Lord had not yet returned, and that was bound to keep everyone on edge.

“The great kindness of the senior of the Battle God Clan is beyond words for the Profound Connection Divine Palace. We bow to thank you once again.”

The Great Elder and the others said in deep voices. Dragon Shisan sneered. This Dou Qing was hypocritically making a show of dealing with him, but he could see the covetousness in the guy’s eyes. He already knew Dragon Shisan’s identity, and just like the Second Palace Lord, he would surely make a move on him. Moreover, his biggest goal was probably still Jiang Chen. Because Jiang Chen had obtained the Immortal Execution Great Emperor’s inheritance, Dou Qing hadn’t hesitated to step in twice to oppose them.

“I was very close to the Second Palace Lord. His business is my business. Dragon Shisan, if you surrender today, perhaps I can still spare your life. Then, after suffering under my seat for a thousand years, perhaps I can give you back your freedom. If not, you will certainly die today.”

Dou Qing’s eyes burned as he looked at Dragon Shisan and said.

“If you want to fight, then fight. What a noisy guy. Since you want to avenge this dog thief, then you can go die too.”

Dragon Shisan’s battle intent was high. Dou Qing and the other two also kept sneering. Especially Dou Qing. At this moment, killing Dragon Shisan was completely justified for him. And afterward, taking Jiang Chen away would also be perfectly reasonable. Even if the Profound Connection Divine Palace wanted to stop him, they didn’t have the ability. And even when the Palace Lord truly returned, he wouldn’t have the slightest objection. After all, it was Dou Qing who had saved the Profound Connection Divine Palace.

At this moment, although Dragon Shisan was under heavy pressure, he knew he had to keep fighting. Although the Second Palace Lord was dead, he wasn’t the only one who had killed Jiang Chen!

“Battle Saint Technique, Battling Symbol Art!”

Dragon Shisan struck out powerfully, striking first to gain the upper hand. He couldn’t wait until Dou Qing dealt him a fatal blow before fighting back. By then everything would be too late. Dragon Shisan fought as if aided by the gods, and the might of the Battle Saint Technique was fully displayed. One against three, Dragon Shisan’s Battle Saint Technique actually withstood Dou Qing’s first wave of attacks. The attacks of all four of them were extremely fierce, but for Dragon Shisan, this wasn’t enough. If he couldn’t defeat the three of them, leaving would be nothing but a pipe dream.

Although the Battle Saint Technique was incredibly powerful and he had fully comprehended it, that didn’t mean Dragon Shisan was truly invincible under heaven. After all, these were three Half-step Divine Emperors, and compared to the Second Palace Lord alone, the gap was not small. What he faced was no longer just one person.

The three of them formed a pincer attack and quickly closed in to crush him. Dragon Shisan fought as he retreated, his staff whirling wildly as if propping up the sky. The divine staff swept back and forth in broad, sweeping strokes, shaking heaven and earth.

“Fighting Symbol Art!”

Dragon Shisan’s situation was already extremely dangerous. Although he could barely withstand the pressure of the three of them, it went without saying how terrifying three Half-step Divine Emperors were. He was alone and had suffered such heavy injuries. Now he was simply resisting with everything he had. One against three was already quite formidable. Dragon Shisan retreated step by step, but his battle intent never showed the slightest fear or flinching.

“Little Chen, I will definitely avenge you!”

Dragon Shisan fought desperately. One against three, even if he died, taking one of them down with him wouldn’t be a loss, and taking two would be a profit.

However, although his idea was good, he was in danger at every turn. Every move was a struggle for Dragon Shisan. He no longer needed to know how strong his opponents were. All he knew was that before he died, he would definitely drag one or two of them down with him.

“Puff!”

Dragon Shisan spat out a mouthful of blood. One staff strike forced back one of the Half-step Divine Emperors, but from behind he was ambushed by Dou Qing and was heavily injured once again.
