Peerless War God

Gu Changsheng stood in the air and swept his divine sense around. The vast Violet Cloud City was filled with cultivators, and it was much more imposing than the Heavenly River City he had been in before.    

Sigh, although he was unwilling to admit it, Violet Cloud City's atmosphere was indeed more prosperous than the Heavenly River City.    

"Alright." Chen Xiao smiled slightly and was about to take a step forward.    

But at this moment, a bolt of lightning came from the sky, and then a huge crack opened up. It was a spatial passageway, and several Tribulation Immortals in purple armor and covered in blood flew out from it. In the middle of them was an old man who was heavily injured, and he looked very pathetic.    

The sudden change caused Violet Cloud City to fall into chaos, and screams continuously sounded out.    

"What is that? The sky actually split open?"    

"It's the Purple Guard, the city lord's Purple Guard. It seems like they are being chased by someone. What happened?"    

"What kind of background does he have to have such great courage to even dare to chase after the Purple Guard? He's simply courting death."    

For a time, countless cultivators in Violet Cloud City raised their heads and looked up at the sky as they discussed.    

Just as they watched as several Purple Guards escorted a heavily injured old man flying out from the crack, an enraged roar came from behind the crack.    

"Don't leave! Come back!"    

A terrifying saber light came slashing down on the Purple Guards. The saber light was blood-red in color, and its murderous aura was shocking. It came and went like the wind, and its speed was extremely fast. In a flash, it was already in front of them.    

When a male Purple Guard saw this, his face turned pale with fright, "Not good!"    

It was completely subconscious. The male Purple Guard turned around and went up to meet the attack. His body emitted protective astral energy, and he blocked the blade light with both hands, looking as if he was ready to die.    

His heart turned cold. It seemed that he would not be able to hold on this time.    

However, at this moment, a cold figure appeared. He raised his hand and waved his palm. The power of wind and thunder interweaved, causing the sky to change color, and a thunderbolt flashed.    

"Heaven Destroying Palm."    

The palm shadow tore through the air and crushed the incoming blade light.    

Chen Xiao had a cold smile on his face. He stood in front of a few Purple Guards and narrowed his eyes, which were filled with an ancient coldness, "Sword Demon?"    

It was the Blood-Splitting Blade Demon. This aura could not be mistaken. Back then, he and the Thousand Corpse Demon Elder had attacked together outside the Green Cloud City.    

He did not expect that the Thousand Corpse Demon Elder and the Blade Demon both had something to do with the Darkness God Sect. It seemed that they really had something to do with the Darkness Shrine.    

However, he did not know why the Blood-Splitting Blade Demon would appear here. What did these Purple Guards do?    

Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Xiao's mind like lightning, but he did not think too much about it. He directly attacked.    

The moment he attacked, he blocked the blade for the Purple Guards. His eyes were cold as he looked at the crack, and he frowned slightly.    

"Thank you, Lord Xiao." The male Purple Guard heaved a sigh of relief and said.    

At this time, Chen Xiao also noticed that the Purple Guards were escorting the Pure Yang Dao Sovereign. It had been many years since he last saw this old fellow. This old fellow had regressed a lot, and he was in a very miserable state.    

His heart stirred. It seemed like the Yin Yang Palace was truly finished, and their fate was even more miserable than that of the Heavenly River City.    

The Duke of Zijin really had great willpower, not showing any intention of interfering, yet he still sent the Purple Guard to rescue them. His goal was obvious.    

This was also good. This way, it dispelled the last bit of the Pure Yang Dao Sovereign’s thoughts.    

“Old Man Pure Yang?” When Gu Changsheng saw this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately moved over.    

The Pure Yang Dao Sovereign’s face was covered in blood, and his eyes were extremely exhausted. He was also filled with grief and sorrow as he sighed. “Gu Changsheng, you’re here as well. Could it be that your Heavenly River City is also finished?”    

Gu Changsheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he fell silent.    

At this moment, he thought of many things. He was unable to provide assistance, and in the end, he was forced to retreat to the Violet Cloud City. He was roped in by the Duke of Zijin, and he had no choice but to submit to him in exchange for a slim chance of survival. All of this was a huge trap, causing him to fall into it step by step.    

Now, when he saw the Pure Yang Dao Sovereign again, he was even more doubtful, and he felt extremely perturbed.    

Soon after, he came to a realization, and he sighed inwardly. Sigh, things have already come to this. Even though it seemed like it was a trap set up by the Duke of Zijin, it was actually because he was useless. He was defeated so miserably, and there was even a traitor in his family. It was lamentable and regretful, and it couldn’t be blamed on others.    

In comparison, he seemed to be slightly better than the Old Man Pure Yang before him.    

With this thought in mind, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile, and his mood became much better.    

Taoist Lord Pure Yang and Gu Changsheng looked at each other and immediately understood what was going on. Their faces were filled with bitterness, and they were unable to say anything.    

On the other side, Gu Feng and Gu Lanyue also came over with solemn expressions as they looked at the crack.    

However, they saw that several Purple Guards were fighting a fierce battle with the Blood-Splitting Saber Demon. The situation was not optimistic.    

"Captain, should we make a move?" Gu Feng asked in a low voice.    

"Captain, I will use the Crimson Firmament Sword to assist you in attacking from afar. It should be fine." Gu Lanyue added.    

The two of them looked at Chen Xiao and waited for him to make a decision.    

Just as Chen Xiao was thinking, a purple figure rushed over and coldly snorted. With a raise of his hand, a ray of purple light shot out, splitting the air and slashing towards the Blood-Splitting Saber Demon who was far away.    

The Blood-Splitting Saber Demon was startled, and his expression changed drastically. His body emitted a bloody light, turning into a blood-colored ball that blocked the sword.    

"Bam."    

The blood ball shattered, and the saber demon retreated several thousand feet. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth as he looked at the purple figure in the spatial crack with a vigilant expression.    

"It's you, Marquis Zi Jin."    

His eyes were filled with hatred and fear, and he no longer hesitated. He turned around and fled.    

He turned into a ray of bloody light and disappeared into the horizon. He was actually scared away, and he didn't even have the thought of retaliating.    

Below, the countless cultivators of the Violet Cloud City were shocked when they saw this.    

"It's Lord Zi Hou. He defeated the evil demon with just one move. He's too strong, so strong."    

"As expected of Lord Zi Hou, long live Lord Zi Hou."    

"A mere evil cultivator dares to oppose Lord Zi Hou. He is simply courting death. Fortunately, he ran away quickly, or else he would have died. Lord Zi Hou, long live."    

The cultivators cheered and celebrated. They were all shocked by Zi Jin Hou's powerful strength.    

In the air, Zi Jin Hou frowned and walked forward. With a wave of his right hand, he forcefully tore open a bigger crack in the void.    

"Come back."    

When the Zi Guards on the other side of the crack heard this, they immediately became spirited and said in unison, "Yes."    

Very quickly, the Zi Guards passed through the crack and returned to the Violet Cloud City.    

When Zi Jin Hou saw this, he raised his hand and waved it, shattering the void crack and immediately disappearing.    

Chen Xiao glanced at the injured Zi Guards. One of them still had no breath. It seemed that this operation had caused quite a bit of damage.    

"Brother Zi Jing, this …"    

He approached and asked with concern.    

Zi Jin Hou replied with a cold expression, "Chen Xiao, this matter was done by the Zi Guards under my orders. You don't have to worry too much. Everything is under my control."    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao's heart was greatly reassured.
