Peerless War God

Amidst the oppressive atmosphere, someone suddenly screamed. Many people’s expressions changed when they heard this voice.    

Zheng Xuan raised his eyes and saw that in midair, numerous figures were fleeing swiftly with blood stains on their bodies. They were clearly injured, and there was a black mass of terrifying cultivators chasing after them from behind.    

Elder Yu Ming was at the rear, and he was struggling to counterattack the pursuing cultivators.    

“Ah!”    

Suddenly, Elder Yu Ming was struck by a sword light, and he let out a miserable cry. A ball of bloody light exploded from his body, and his figure was forced back. His face was as pale as paper, and he was extremely terrifying.    

At this moment, all the members of the Zheng Clan, including Zheng Xuan, knew that something big had happened.    

Zheng Long’s eyes almost split apart when he saw this, and he swept his Divine Sense frantically through the sky as if searching for Zheng Yuanwu’s figure, but he quickly lost hope.    

Because he didn’t find Zheng Yuanwu’s figure.    

“Father? My father isn’t amongst these people. How could this be?”    

In an instant, Zheng Long was slightly flustered, and he didn’t know what to do. He’d lost his backbone in an instant.    

He naturally noticed that these people had been forced back and suffered heavy losses.    

But if Zheng Yuanwu wasn’t amongst these people, then there was only one explanation. Either he’d died, or he was on the verge of dying.    

“Father!”    

Zheng Long’s eyes were bloodshot, and he fiercely clenched his fists.    

“Young clansman, Young Patriarch, it’s time for us to make a move. Young Patriarch.”    

At this moment, the guards on both sides pushed Zheng Long and reminded him.    

The reason they stayed here was to act as support in case of any emergencies. Now was the time for them to make a move.    

Zheng Long forcefully gathered his spirit when he heard this, and he eliminated the distracting thoughts and uneasiness in his heart before calming down.    

Even though he was very worried about Zheng Yuanwu and even thought of the worst possibility, he was the Young Patriarch of the Zheng Clan after all. At a time like this, he naturally had to prioritize the overall situation and do what he should do.    

Zheng Long nodded and ordered, “Everyone, get ready. We’ll make a move together later. Our target is the enemy’s Tribulation Transcender cultivators in the sky.”    

“Understood.”    

“Understood!”    

Zheng Xuan and the other cultivators of the Zheng Clan all responded in unison, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.    

“Huhu~”    

In midair, Yu Ming’s face was covered in blood, and he was gasping for breath with all his might. He utilized the magic energy in his body to try to suppress his injuries, and he glared fiercely at the three Tribulation Transcender cultivators in midair.    

“Three versus one, using numbers to bully the weak. It’s a little unfair, right?”    

Yu Ming glared and berated angrily.    

One of the Evil Cult’s Tribulation Transcenders sneered when he heard this and said, “It’s unfair? How laughable. This is a war, and it’s fine as long as we can win. What methods we use aren’t important at all.”    

A nearby Tribulation Transcender said impatiently, “Why are you wasting your breath on him? Attack together and kill him first.”    

“Alright, let’s attack together.”    

Immediately, three cold and powerful auras burst out, transforming into three streaks of light that besieged Yu Ming from three different directions, determined to kill him here.    

Yu Ming’s heart sank when he saw this. He glanced at the surrounding environment and confirmed that it was the place where Zheng Long and the others had ambushed him. This gave him a little hope.    

However, he knew that if he wanted to survive, it could be said that it was a narrow escape. There was only one path left for him to take.    

He steeled his heart and said, “Let’s go all out.”    

“Attack.”    

Almost at the same time, Zheng Long gave the order.    

In the next moment, hundreds of pillars of light shot out from all directions, smashing toward the three Evil Cultivator Tribulation Transcenders in midair, forcing them to retreat and injuring one of them.    

“Ah, what’s this?”    

One of the Tribulation Transcenders was caught off guard and was struck by a magic treasure. A ball of blood erupted from his body, and he retreated ten thousand feet before he managed to stabilize himself.    

“Not good, there’s an ambush. Be careful.”    

When the other two Evil Cultivator Tribulation Transcenders saw this, their expressions changed slightly. They immediately gave up on chasing after Yu Ming and retreated quickly, regrouping with the injured Tribulation Transcender. They were on guard against each other as they stared intently at Zheng Xuan’s group that had suddenly appeared.    

Zheng Xuan flashed and arrived beside Yu Ming. He asked with concern, “Elder Yu, how are you? Where’s my father?”    

Yu Ming smiled miserably and said, "I'm fine. I won't die for now. The Patriarch went alone to cover for us. Sigh."    

"What?"    

Zheng Xuan was struck by lightning. His face turned pale, and his body staggered a few times, almost falling down. His face was filled with despair.    

He was not stupid. He knew what it meant to cover for him. Only death awaited him.    

When Yu Ming saw this, he sighed and said, "Your father took the initiative to cover for us. He did it for you. Remember, you must live on. Do you understand?"    

Yu Ming's words were heartfelt and earnest. He spoke very seriously.    

Zheng Long obviously knew this, so he forced himself to focus and said, "Alright, I understand. Elder Yu, let's break out together. As long as we can escape back to Jingbian City, we will be able to live."    

"Alright."    

"Let's rush out together and kill."    

...    

On the top of the city wall of Jingbian City, Chen Xiao and the Third Prince sat opposite each other. There was a small table in front of them, and there was a cup of fragrant tea placed on it.    

The area in front of them was filled with killing intent. The cultivators around them were all on guard, and they were all filled with fighting spirit.    

Chen Xiao took a sip of tea and smiled. "Third Prince, how confident are you?"    

"At most fifty percent. This is still my optimistic estimate." The Third Prince said honestly.    

"Heh, fifty percent is not considered low. It's worth it to fight for it." Chen Xiao said indifferently.    

"That's right. If everyone is like my father, hiding like a turtle, not willing to take action and doing nothing, things will only get worse, right?"    

The Third Prince said with a cold face.    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao laughed, "I didn't hear you say that. You are the only one who dares to criticize the Divine Emperor behind his back."    

"Heh." The Third Prince did not deny it and did not continue chatting.    

However, Chen Xiao could tell that this Third Prince was quite dissatisfied with the current Divine Emperor.    

It was reasonable. The two pillars of the Song Clan, Song Tong and Song Qingwen, had died unexpectedly one after another. As the current Divine Emperor, he could actually endure it and not take action. It was no wonder that the Third Prince would feel resentful. It was reasonable.    

Chen Xiao continued, "With the Dragon Sealing Absolute Kill Formation here, as long as the opponent's Immortal Realm expert dares to come, he will have to bear the consequences."    

"Alright, as long as you say that. Come, let's do it." The Third Prince revealed a hint of joy and laughed.    

Chen Xiao pouted and said, "This is tea, not wine."    

The Third Prince was startled and laughed, not minding it at all, "Then let's use tea as wine. As long as the meaning is clear, let's do it."    

Without waiting for Chen Xiao to react, he drank the tea in his cup. However, because it was too hot, his expression was a little uncomfortable.    

Chen Xiao forcefully suppressed his laughter, feeling a little awkward.    

"Hahaha."    

"Hahaha."    

The two of them looked at each other and laughed. The scene was quite cheerful.
