Dragon-Marked War God

Kang Ledi was very frustrated, because Louis Zhenyi did not trust him at all and would not listen to his advice. Then again, Leng Mo’s suggestion was not unworkable. He just felt they should play it a little safer and not push forward too rashly. But this really was a once-in-a-thousand-years chance. Once missed, it might never come again. And if Songzan Kangying and the others were wiped out completely, the Forbidden Demon Clan would surely sound the horn of a counterattack. With the Tuying Clan leaderless and the whole Forbidden Divine Clan in dire straits, the Forbidden Demon Clan would certainly be able to sweep away every obstacle and occupy every inch of the Forbidden Divine Land.

Louis Zhenyi was very strong and had a good head on his shoulders, but his one weakness was that he craved grand achievements. Such a good chance had come to no one else but him. Going deep behind enemy lines and fighting to the death would surely bring remarkable results. He looked down on Leng Mo, but he had to admit that Leng Mo’s suggestion was very good. It was just what he wanted.

“Leng Mo, if this succeeds, I’ll record a great merit for you.”

Louis Zhenyi said in a deep voice and glanced at Leng Mo. Kang Ledi felt rather sour, but Louis Zhenyi’s mind was already made up, and that was absolutely not something he could change.

“Then thank you, Third Prince.”

Han Yan said calmly, neither pleased nor sad. He was always like this. But in Kang Ledi’s eyes, this guy was clearly just putting on airs, and might even be quietly gloating already.

“How can you catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger’s den? With such a heaven-sent opportunity, we must seize it! Follow my orders. Songzan Kangying must be killed, he’s the first! If there’s still a chance, then we’ll wipe them all out here. Father King will be astonished, hahaha.”

Louis Zhenyi took a step forward, calm and composed, with countless plans in his heart. This battle would surely make his name, and in order to inherit the throne of the Forbidden Demon Clan in the future, Louis Zhenyi would pay any price to become the king of this battle. Once he broke the deadlock between the Forbidden Demon Clan and the Forbidden Divine Clan, he would be the pioneer of the Forbidden Demon Clan, the trailblazer the clan would remember forever. After all, the two clans had fought on the Forbidden Divine Land for countless years, yet neither had ever managed to tip the balance.

Leng Qianqian kept following behind Han Yan. At that moment Han Yan was calm. He knew his goal had been fully achieved. Now it was just a matter of watching the dogs bite each other. But for this step, they still had to wait until the people of the Forbidden Divine Clan gave themselves away before Louis Zhenyi would charge in. Such a chance could only come by luck, not by seeking. If Han Yan and Jiang Chen had not been fanning the flames from behind, the outcome of this affair would have been very hard to predict.

At this moment, inside the Land of Heavenly Lightning, the roar of the Heavenly Lightning grew louder and louder. The whole canyon seemed to shake with thunder, deafening. Ancestor Songzan and Ancestor Jueming exchanged a look, and the two of them shot up into the sky, heading straight for the Heavenly Lightning canyon.

“Is the Lightning Mother Seed finally about to come out?”

Jiang Chen murmured. He had waited a long, long time for this moment. Now it all depended on how much of a mess they could make of this place. The more frantic and chaotic it got, the sooner the people of the Forbidden Demon Clan would probably arrive. Then Jiang Chen could withdraw once the deed was done and reap the benefits.

He was determined to get the Lightning Mother Seed. Once he had it, it would surely be of great help in fusing the Heavenly Lightning. Jiang Chen already had some understanding of this Thousand Flames Annihilation Lightning, and its terror went without saying. Even suppressed by an ancient formation, it still took two Mid Divine Emperor experts holding it down to barely keep the situation under control. One could imagine how difficult it would be for Jiang Chen to swallow that Heavenly Lightning.

“Guard me, I’ll go take the Lightning Mother Seed.”

Songzan Kangying said in a low voice. The people of the Songzan family behind him and Wu You and the other two were on full alert, afraid that even the slightest change would occur.

With so many experts guarding him now, Songzan Kangying was not worried that the princess of the Azure Feather Clan would make a move. Her strength was just too weak to make any difference at all. He had let her come here to take a look precisely so that she could witness how powerful he and the Tuying Clan were.

“In a while, don’t go near them. If things get bad, we’ll stay out of their way for now. This bunch is no easy lot. What worries me most is that Heavenly Lightning that has supposedly gained sentience.”

Jiang Chen glanced at Yu Jingxian and sent her a voice transmission. He could not help feeling somewhat worried. Or rather, his Great Divination Art gave him an ominous feeling. He did not know what would happen at this moment. But as far as Ancestor Songzan and Ancestor Jueming were concerned, they were sure of success. After guarding the Land of Heavenly Lightning for millions of years, they had long since been able to handle it with ease.

“I understand. You be careful too.”

Yu Jingxian looked at Jiang Chen. She no longer cared about any Lightning Mother Seed. As long as she and Jiang Chen were all right, that was enough. Whether they got the Lightning Mother Seed was up to heaven. She had found the one she loved most. Everything else was just fleeting clouds.

“Rumble—rumble—”

Thunder rolled across thousands, tens of thousands of miles. Everyone’s heart was extremely heavy, especially Songzan Kangying’s. This was his first time coming to take the Lightning Mother Seed, and he had no idea how dangerous it would be. But the two ancestors telling him to be careful in everything already showed that seizing the Lightning Mother Seed was not as simple as he imagined.

Up in the sky, Ancestor Jueming and Ancestor Songzan had already charged into the Heavenly Lightning canyon. Bolts of lightning broke through the sky one after another, and the two ancestors kept forcing them back, constantly shrinking the space in which the Heavenly Lightning could strike.

The sheer power of those bolts of Heavenly Lightning was so frightening that even Jiang Chen grew extremely grave. Even he did not dare underestimate it. This Heavenly Lightning seemed to be even stronger than he had imagined.

“Hurry and seize the Lightning Mother Seed! If you don’t act now, when will you?”

Ancestor Songzan bellowed. Songzan Kangying did not dare delay in the slightest and quickly rushed into the Heavenly Lightning canyon. At that moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the canyon. Songzan Kangying was especially excited. Halfway up the canyon wall was a spot where the lightning was densest. Webs of lightning covered the crevice, and an oval blue gem about the size of a chicken egg appeared before Songzan Kangying’s eyes.

Songzan Kangying’s face lit up with joy, a look of excitement in his eyes.

“I found it, Ancestor!”

Songzan Kangying reached out his hand, and three bolts of Heavenly Lightning drove him straight back. His face changed and he shuddered, barely dodging the three bolts by a hair’s breadth. Even so, that terrifying destructive power still left him shaken.
