Dragon-Marked War God

Songzan Kangying’s strength could not be called weak, yet even together with several Divine Emperor Realm experts, he was still battered and harried by the Heavenly Lightning barrier before him. Everyone’s face was ashen. They had fallen into a passive position and simply did not know where to begin against this terrifying Heavenly Lightning. And that was with the two ancestors tying up the Heavenly Lightning Spirit. Otherwise, they would probably have been wiped out here in minutes.

At this moment, although Songzan Kangying and the others were in danger, they had at least steadied themselves. The ones they now had to worry about were Ancestor Songzan and Ancestor Jueming. The two of them had been entangled by the Heavenly Lightning Spirit, and what had started as a contest had turned into them being suppressed by it.

A crystal it had taken a million years to form had been snatched away. One could imagine how furious the Heavenly Lightning Spirit was. Moreover, with the passing of the years, a small crack had appeared in the ancient formation, so the strength and methods the Heavenly Lightning Spirit could now display were more and more terrifying. That was why Ancestor Songzan and Ancestor Jueming had been trapped by it and were now locked in a stalemate, unable to advance or retreat.

“The two ancestors won’t be swallowed by that Heavenly Lightning, will they?”

“Yeah, I’m worried the ancestors might be in danger too.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. The strength of the two ancestors has reached its peak. They’re nothing we can compare to. As soon as we escape from here, they’ll surely break free right away.”

“Not necessarily. I think the two ancestors are in quite a difficult spot too.”

Everyone was extremely worried, but right now they could barely protect themselves. This was an outcome none of them had expected, not even the two ancestors, because they did not know a small crack had appeared in the ancient formation. Over the past million years, this Heavenly Lightning Spirit had become a great deal stronger than before, which was why they had been trapped and could not pull themselves out for the moment.

Jiang Chen and Yu Jingxian sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight. The two of them were too weak, only Half-step Divine Emperors, so Songzan Kangying had not paid them any mind at all. A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Compared to himself, that princess of the Azure Feather Clan was just a little girl. Why would Songzan Kangying care?

“Songzan Kangying, long time no see! Hahaha, I, Louis Zhenyi, have arrived!”

A deafening shout rang through the void. Heaven and earth all around seemed to darken. Demonic qi rose and swept past, sorcerous clouds blotted out the sun, and the air grew heavy and gloomy.

Songzan Kangying’s face changed drastically. He had never in his wildest dreams expected the people of the Forbidden Demon Clan to show up at this moment. He had kept it so secret. Had word still leaked out in the end?

Songzan Kangying could not help feeling depressed. And at a moment like this, when they were trapped, Louis Zhenyi’s appearance was even more frightening to them than the Heavenly Lightning in front of them. It was like a bolt from the blue.

Songzan Kangying had fought Louis Zhenyi before. If their strength had not been so evenly matched, Songzan Kangying would have won that fight. In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses and fell back three thousand miles, and neither gained anything. The two of them could be called old acquaintances. So the moment Louis Zhenyi appeared, Songzan Kangying knew today might be very hard for him. This Louis Zhenyi was no rash greenhorn. He himself had never gained the upper hand in their many fights. Now Louis Zhenyi had been lying in wait here for the right moment, leaving him extremely passive. Louis Zhenyi must have prepared for this long ago.

“It’s you! You really are cunning, coming even to the Land of Heavenly Lightning. Aren’t you afraid of falling into eternal ruin? Hmph.”

Songzan Kangying shouted in a deep voice, his eyes sharp, still unyielding.

“Haha, I’m afraid the one falling into eternal ruin today is someone else. You’re already in such a sorry state. Looks like I’ll be taking over this battle.”

Louis Zhenyi stood proudly, his eyes meeting Songzan Kangying’s. All of these people were already badly injured. Facing his group’s assault, they could not possibly have any chance of escaping alive.

“Louis Zhenyi, do you really want to fight me to the death? Don’t forget what this Land of Heavenly Lightning is. This is the territory of our Forbidden Divine Clan. When our people arrive in a moment, I’m afraid you really won’t be able to escape even with wings.”

Songzan Kangying said in a deep voice. Facing Louis Zhenyi now, he had not the slightest certainty.

“Really? I’d like to see where your reinforcements are. Haha, by the time they arrive, you’ll probably all be as dead as can be. You want to play tricks with me? You’re still too green. I thought your Forbidden Divine Clan’s two ancestors would at least be able to contend with this Heavenly Lightning a little, but I never expected the two ancestors of the Forbidden Divine Clan to be wrapped up by the Heavenly Lightning and lose their chance completely. Are you still waiting for them to come save you? Right now they’re probably clay Buddhas crossing a river, unable to save even themselves, right?”

Louis Zhenyi said in a deep voice, his eyes icy. Since he had come here, his killing intent was set. He was going to use this chance to deal a heavy blow to the Tuying Clan. Once Songzan Kangying was killed, the Tuying Clan would surely be left leaderless.

“Louis Zhenyi, you wouldn’t dare! Once my two ancestors come out, you’ll all die.”

Songzan Kangying took a step forward, his eyes blazing, and shouted sharply.

“That strength of yours is nothing but a paper tiger in my eyes. You should know better than anyone that you no longer have any chance.”

The corners of Louis Zhenyi’s mouth curled up slightly. Everyone’s face turned extremely ugly. With his current strength, Louis Zhenyi really could thrash them. Under the impact of the Heavenly Lightning, they had lost more than half their fighting strength. Now that Louis Zhenyi was attacking, they could only struggle wearily to cope.

“Attack. Kill without mercy!”

As soon as Louis Zhenyi’s words fell, Kang Ledi, Leng Qianqian and Han Yan all struck swiftly. Although all three of them were Half-step Divine Emperors, the moment they made their moves, Songzan Kangying and the others were utterly shaken. Even Wu You and the others were somewhat dumbstruck. These three were absolutely comparable to Divine Emperor Realm experts. Facing them, even at their peak, their chances of winning would probably not exceed fifty percent. So this battle had become extremely difficult.

“The good show is finally about to start.”

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. Louis Zhenyi and his three companions instantly charged into the fray. Even with the Heavenly Lightning barrier ahead of them, they were not afraid in the least, because they had only one goal: to charge in and kill without a trace. They did not care whom the Heavenly Lightning struck, as long as it was not them. Under the Heavenly Lightning barrier, Songzan Kangying and the others had to be very careful with every move, their hands and feet tied. Louis Zhenyi gripped his long spear, his figure like a hook, and stepped across the air, cutting down two Half-step Divine Emperors of the Tuying Clan on the spot.

Blood sprayed across the air and splashed onto Songzan Kangying’s face. He knew that in this bitter fight their odds of winning were slim. All he could hope for now was that the two ancestors would break out of the Heavenly Lightning’s encirclement as soon as possible. Only then would they have any hope.

Han Yan and Jiang Chen exchanged a look, smiling. Together with Leng Qianqian, he struck, heading straight for Songzan Kangying. They had only one goal: to seize the Lightning Mother Seed!

Jiang Chen and Yu Jingxian stayed out of it and watched coldly. The two of them had been overlooked entirely. No one paid them any attention at all. A true melee had finally begun!
