Chapter 1397: Chapter 1396: The Desperate Fate
Originally, it was thought that Bai Mie’s appearance would turn the tide of the battle.
But no one expected that the Great Heavenly Emperor Commander Zhuge Mingjun of the Tianzun Divine Palace had been hiding in the shadows all along, waiting specifically for Bai Mie.
Xuetu and others attacked the Dragon God Palace, and the Asura Heavenly Emperor had already anticipated Bai Mie’s intervention, so he had arranged for powerful warriors in advance.
This shows how perfect the Asura Heavenly Emperor’s strategy was.
Zhuge Mingjun stayed hidden in the dark, and Wuqing was completely unaware, demonstrating Zhuge Mingjun’s formidable strength.
As the Great Heavenly Emperor Commander of the Tianzun Divine Palace, Zhuge Mingjun naturally has his formidable aspects.
“Bai Mie, Jueqing, no matter how you resist, you will not escape death; I advise you to submit; opposing the Heavenly Sovereign will lead to a bad end,” Xuetu said coldly.
“Xuetu, you’ve talked enough crap!” Zhuge Mingjun glanced expressionlessly at Xuetu, then said to Bai Mie, “Old man Bai, go ahead. After years of comfort, it’s time to flex your muscles.”
Bai Mie said solemnly, “It seems a fierce battle is unavoidable.”
“Nie Hanfeng, can your side still hold on?” Jueqing asked, looking at Nie Hanfeng and the other Heavenly Emperor experts.
Upon hearing this, Nie Hanfeng shouted, “We can hold on! Even if it means fighting to the death!”
“Still stubborn at death’s door, let’s see how long you can last!” a Great Heavenly Emperor expert said disdainfully.
Another Great Heavenly Emperor sneered, “It’s time to finish them.”
Xuan Kui said coldly, “Kill!”
“Bai Mie, come, let this Commander see how your strength has advanced over the years!” Zhuge Mingjun said with a cold demeanor, showing an aloof attitude.
“As you wish!” Bai Mie said solemnly, releasing a terrifying aura and launching himself swiftly like lightning.
The intense blood battle erupted again, as the Great Heavenly Emperor experts engaged in life and death battles, waves of destructive energy swept madly and spread.
Jueqing fought Xuetu, Bai Mie fought Zhuge Mingjun, and Xuan Kui fought Nie Hanfeng.
However, this time Xuetu had brought over twenty Great Heavenly Emperor experts, including five from the Fifth Heaven, their strength far superior to the eighteen Heavenly Emperors.
As the battle dragged on, in two-on-one situations, several of the eighteen Heavenly Emperors were unable to resist and suffered serious injuries.
The more who were heavily injured, the more Great Heavenly Emperors Xuetu had to spare, who then joined forces to repeatedly injure the eighteen Heavenly Emperors.
In the end, only Jueqing, Bai Mie, and Nie Hanfeng remained struggling to resist.
Nie Hanfeng, fighting two alone, had exhausted his strength and was at the end of his rope.
The situation was critical, and the Dragon God Palace could fall at any moment.
“Why hasn’t anyone from the Dragon God Clan come to support us?” As the eighteen Heavenly Emperors suffered injuries one after another, Jueqing became increasingly anxious and worried, unsettled and unable to focus on dealing with Xuetu.
“Jueqing, your time is up; this is the outcome of opposing the Heavenly Sovereign!” Xuetu laughed mockingly, seizing the opportunity as Jueqing was unsettled, launching a fierce and ruthless attack.
“Boom boom boom!”
“Pfft!”
Xuetu’s fierce and ruthless attacks left the unsettled Jueqing unable to defend, taking blow after blow, eventually coughing up blood as his injuries worsened.
“Jueqing! Fighting against me while distracted; are you looking down on me, or are you anxious to die?” Xuetu laughed sinisterly, continuing his relentless assault, refusing to give Jueqing any chance to catch his breath.
“Jueqing!” Bai Mie’s old face changed.
“Brother Jueqing!” Liu Qingyang and others shouted in panic.
“Shi Tian Hu! Are you done yet? Hurry and heal their injuries!” the Three-Eyed Demon Ape shouted anxiously.
“Their cultivation is too strong; my regenerative body can’t heal them that quickly!” Shi Tian Hu said, exhausting all his strength. To heal the seriously injured eighteen Heavenly Emperors, Shi Tian Hu’s power was nearly depleted.
Shi Tian Hu possessed a powerful regenerative body, but now that he’s just ascended to the Heavenly Realm with very weak cultivation, healing the injuries of Great Heavenly Emperor experts is extremely difficult for him.
“Jueqing! Prepare to die!” Xuetu continued his frenzied attacks on the severely injured Jueqing, engulfed in madness.
“Boom boom boom!”
“Pfft pfft!”
Severely injured, Jueqing was defenseless against Xuetu’s frenzied assault, taking blow after blow, coughing up blood continuously.
“What should we do? Brother Jueqing and Elder Bai are about to fail, is there no other way?” Liu Qingyang said, desperate and at a loss.
“Something must have happened with the Dragon God Clan, otherwise why would they stand by?” Ling Xiaoxiao guessed, facing formidable opponents like Xuetu and others, they were utterly powerless.
Long Tianzhan frowned, “What’s the use of worrying now? This might just be our fate.”
“Chen Er is now in peril, and we are powerless against them. We can only leave it to fate.” Bai Li Tianjing said helplessly; it wasn’t that they didn’t want to fight back, but the opponents’ strength was terrifying.
Jueqing was already unable to hold on, and in Bai Mie’s fight with Zhuge Mingjun, Bai Mie’s injuries were getting heavier, as Zhuge Mingjun’s cultivation was above his, making it hard to withstand Zhuge Mingjun’s terrifying power.
“Bai Mie, it seems years of comfortable living have dulled your combat power significantly.” Zhuge Mingjun said coldly, looking at Bai Mie with contempt.
Bai Mie’s old face was pale, his injuries severe, and his aura weakened significantly, likely unable to hold on much longer.
Xuetu still had dozens of Great Heavenly Emperor experts, unquestionably a destructive force for the Dragon God Palace.
As the eighteen Heavenly Emperors continued to fall, with no powerful Dragon God Clan support arriving, the Dragon God Palace seemed destined for annihilation.
Meanwhile, on the Inscription Master Guild’s battlefield.
The Asura Heavenly Emperor’s sudden attack left Feng Wuchen severely injured with just one palm strike.
“To withstand one of my strikes, being at the early stage of the Heavenly Deity Realm, you have much to be proud of.” The Asura Heavenly Emperor sneered maliciously.
“Lord Feng!”
The Flame Emperor was burning with worry, wanting to aid Feng Wuchen, but the Ancient Emperor wouldn’t give him the chance.
“Flame Emperor, the battle isn’t over; you shall not save Wind Shadow!” the Ancient Emperor said coldly, intercepting the Flame Emperor with terrifying speed.
“Out of my way!” the Flame Emperor roared, charging in madly.
“Boom!”
“Buzz buzz!”
Clashing fiercely with the Ancient Emperor, an earth-shattering explosion erupted, deafening and with destructive energy sweeping madly.
Yet, the clash proved equal in strength, unable to push back the Ancient Emperor.
With the Ancient Emperor blocking, the Flame Emperor couldn’t support Feng Wuchen.
“Asura Heavenly Emperor, do not kill him; capture him and take him back to Mr. Guigu,” the Great Elder commanded.
“Yes, Great Elder!” the Asura Heavenly Emperor responded respectfully, swiftly charging toward Feng Wuchen.
Feng Wuchen was left severely crippled by the Asura Heavenly Emperor’s strike, only able to barely remain hovering, utterly unable to resist.
“Tianshe! Quickly aid Lord Feng!” Jiang Yuya shouted frantically.
