Rise of Humanity

Eliminating a sovereign race’s navy with just wit, Lou Zhengshi had no choice but to believe this as it happened right before his eyes.

Now, the Yinkang Clan’s fleet was rushing towards the Panhu Clan’s fleet and there was nothing they can do to stop the Yinkang Clan.

At the same time, Zhong Yue, Fu Li, and Yin Fukang were trapped in a Panhu warship after being surrounded.

All of a sudden, Zhong Yue charged right into the cabin while countless Panhu Clan’s gods followed right behind closely. Seconds later, the cabin door at the back of the warship opened up before Zhong Yue, Fu Li, and Yin Fukang dashed away quickly on a Mengchong Warship.

With the thousand wing-like paddles, the warship split the waves apart and left quickly.

However, the many Panhu Clan’s gods also managed to get onboard and a fierce battle has begun; blood dyed the water around the ship red and severed limbs flew about. Seconds later, another six Mengchong Warships from the Panhu Clan’s warship continued to give chase.

The seven warships tangled with one another, the gods onboard leaped from one ship to another while fighting ferociously and they headed straight towards a warship from the Panhu Clan that moved far away from the battle. Upon seeing these seven warships charging right at them, the commander of the ship panickedly ordered the crew to maneuver the warship away from them.

However, with the insane speed from the Mengchong Warships, they couldn’t even shake them off and the commander forced himself to make a risky decision, “Get the cannons and ballistas ready, fire at those Mengchong Warships and sink them!”

The commander second in command then cried, “But the Imperial Emperors and our men are still on those ships!”

The commander immediately gave him a slap and shouted, “If we don’t sink those ships, we will also be in trouble!”

Without a choice, the crying commander second in command forced himself to give the order and the many crews remained silent as they pushed out the cannons and ballistas.

“We Panhu Clan’s naval army can not die here today.”

The commander shed tears, stared at the seven approaching warships and mumbled, “This is a time of chaos, the war for the throne. If our naval army is annihilated today, then we are doomed! Not only will the Heavenly Monarch not use us anymore, but our position as a sovereign race might also even be removed! Brothers and seniors, please don’t blame me for this!”

As he waved his hand forward, countless light pillars shot towards the seven Mengchong Warships, the ballistas pushed backward by the massive recoil of the bolts firings!

In only a single fire, the seven Mengchong Warships shattered before the massive attack, the gods lost their balance as the bolts sunk the ships!

In a blink of an eye, almost all the gods on the warships fell into the river!

A massive bolt pierced right through Fu Li, nailing him into the river bottom, Yin Fukang let out an angry battle cry, the light wheels behind his head spun quickly, enlarged at an incredible rate and blocked in front of Zhong Yue, but they were still being pushed back strongly.

Suddenly, the river surface blasted apart as Fu Li charged out of the water with the arrow still in his body; countless gods were struggling in the water and their flesh was being corroded by the river.

Not even the Deity Emperors were strong enough to withstand the power of the river and in seconds, they lost their power, devoured by the Heavenly River. Only the Creators were able to barely keep themselves together and leave the water.

Fu Li, on the other hand, was also a Creator but he was one of the tops even among the best Creators; he was not afraid of the river at all. After the seven warships were shattered into pieces, the Panhu Clan’s magnates were almost gone after falling into the river.

Zhong Yue remained safe as he was protected by Yin Fukang. As he looked around, mixed feelings emerged in his heart and he murmured, “Before the war for the throne completely started, the war is already so intense. Gods were unable to survive, let alone the mortal Qi Practitioners. In the future, this will become the reason why so many of them died!”

And that is why, I have to protect the humans no matter what!

His heart turned cold and his eyes filled with determination; in such a war, having mercy on the enemies would only bring destruction to oneself, hence, Zhong Yue had to use all his strength and everything he had to protect his people!

If it was to protect them, no matter how many enemies he struck down, it will all be worth it!

The enemies were also fighting for their race; one could have mercy in his heart but he must not let the enemies go free because of his own compassion; else, he would be the greatest sinner to his race!

A sinner just like Fu Shang!

The light wheels behind Yin Fukang’s head surrounded Zhong Yue, lifting him into the air. Fu Li followed behind while the Panhu Imperial Emperors and Creators pursued them and the bolts and cannons were still firing at them.

The battle continued and as the bolts and cannons fired around them. Fu Li swung his bone club around, slammed the attacks away but alongside Yin Fukang, the two of them were being pushed back strongly and the situation was dire.

Fortunately, the pursuers were also in the area of coverage of the attacks and that greatly slowed down their attacks.

Meanwhile, at the lower course of the river, Yin Fanxuan was leading the Yinkang Clan’s fleet out and shook the Panhu Clan’s fleet far away.

“Father-in-law, its time to go!”

Zhong Yue suddenly grabbed onto Bi An’s braid and hurled him into his Yuan Shen secret realms. The Imperial Emperors and Creators from the Panhu Clan woke up and looked around with blank minds.

During this time, Yin Fukang and Fu Li hurriedly ran away, joining the Yinkang Clan’s fleet again and returning to Yin Fanxuan and the others.

“Man the cannons and ballistas!”

Yin Fanxuan ordered and the gods were all on stand-by.

“King Yi, what did you do!”

The Panhu Imperial Emperors trembled slightly and suddenly, they closed in, prompting Yin Fanxuan to order the gods to fire the siege weapons. In a second, cannons fired and bolts launched, pushing the Imperial Emperors backward. The Panhu Clan’s Creators halted their movements, descending back to the Panhu Clan’s warships in anger.

This time, almost half of the Panhu Clan’s naval army was routed, lost many equipments and countless soldiers!

Originally, the Panhu Clan’s naval was strong enough to rival the Yinkang Clan’s naval and they were a very powerful force even before the Heavenly River Naval Fleet. Now, they were slammed back into a lower level, weakened to a state where they are below the Heavenly River Naval Fleet and rendered unable to rival them anymore!

Behind, the Heavenly River Naval Fleet caught up, merged with the Panhu Clan’s fleet and Lou Zhengshi shouted, “Senior Martial Brother Pan Yue and Pan Shan, greetings!”

With their anger suppressed, the two Panhu Clan’s Imperial Emperors greeted back.

As the two forces merged, they hurriedly chased after the Yinkang Clan’s fleet. Lou Zhengshi invited the two Imperial Emperors onboard and said, “Yin Fukang is cunning and dangerous. And with the addition of King Yi, the problem has gotten out of hand. If they return to their territory, it will only be tougher to kill them!”

Imperial Emperor Pan Yue smirked, “Our Panhu Clan is located right beside them. Once we arrive there, we will raise an army and along with the Heavenly River Naval Fleet, we will mow them down!”

“And we will bath ourselves in their blood! We will unleash wrath on them for what they did to our brothers!” said Imperial Emperor Pan Yue angrily, “Yinkang Clan is just a puny monarch race, how dare they fight against our sovereign race? This time, we will annihilate them!”

Lou Zhengshi frowned and said gently, “Senior martial brothers, anger has blinded you. You must calm yourselves down or you will get into trouble.”

“Shame, if it weren’t because of Senior Martial Brother Zhengshi’s warning, we wouldn’t be able to notice this.”

Imperial Emperor Pan Yue said, “After many years of development, the Yinkang Clan had built their place into a steel bucket. Given the strategic location, it is very hard to attack them. But with our speed now, it is impossible to catch up with them. What do you think, Senior Martial Brother Zhengshi?”

“It’s impossible to intercept them now.”

Lou Zhengshi’s eyes blinked and said, “Beside Yinkang Clan and Panhu Clan, there is another State of Heavenly River. I wonder if we can unroot the entire Yinkang Clan if we talk them into helping us.”

Pan Yue and Pan Shan exchanged a glance and they both shook their heads, “Senior Martial Brother Zhengshi, we suppose you know that State of Heavenly River’s origin. That is an outside world, and those who live inside are the Fuxi Celestial Race. Though we are talking about them living there, it is more like they are being imprisoned there. It is almost impossible to enter even for the Heavenly Monarchs, let alone Imperial Emperors.”

Lou Zhengshi, however, smiled and said, “But a little brother from the Panhu Clan had been to the place. If I recall correctly, his name is Xiao Wuji?”

“Xiao Wuji?”

The two Imperial Emperors were a little surprised and Pan Yue smiled, “He is half Fuxi and half Panhu. A very long time ago, he and Pan Xu arrived at our clan. I’m the one that triggered the Panhu bloodline in him. Now, he has become an extraordinary figure. If he can talk the Fuxi Celestial Race into helping us, it will be a great contribution to the Heavenly Monarch’s conquest.”

Pan Shan said, “His heritage is incredible and he seems to have quite a friendly relationship with Mister Bi Luo. I even hear that his teacher is an innate god that serves directly under Heaven. Our ancestors are very fond of him. He should be in the Heaven Court now. I’ll send a Creator to invite him over.”

Lou Zhengshi let out a relieved breath and he laughed, “Then we Heavenly River Naval Fleet will take a rest in your place for the time being. Once Mister Wuji arrives, then we will decide what to do that can remove Yinkang Clan in one blow.”

The two naval fleets then slowly tailed behind the Yinkang Clan’s fleet and Zhong Yue frowned upon seeing this.

After suffering two losses, why are they still pursuing us? There is no reason for them to continue chasing after us after knowing there is nothing he can do to stop us.

He looked towards the lower course, where the Imperial Star located, filled with monarch races and all he needed was to get access to Zhongyang Clan’s path to return, so why did Lou Zhengshi continue to pursue them?

Lou Zhengshi might not be coming right at me but….

His heart sank to the bottom, He was going for the Yinkang Clan!
