He Li suddenly came back to his senses on the battlefield, finding a chill on his face. It was frozen tears. He wiped the icy tears from his face, then drew his saber and charged out, intercepting the Nuvian tribesmen fighting the Divine Race expeditionary army.
The Nuvian tribesmen looked at He Li’s retreating back. Some of them had followed He Li all the way from the southern battlefield.
“Lord He Li!”
“Lord He Li.”
The Divine Race soldiers’ eyes were red. They dragged their injured bodies, some injured in the great battle with the Desolate Race army, some injured by the Divine Race expeditionary army. They were all enraged and gathered behind He Li.
“Kill Shentu!”
“Kill Shentu, avenge Lord Feilei!”
“Kill Shentu!”
They roared.
Suddenly,
A strange voice echoed in He Li’s mind: “Lord He Li, the time has come. Hurry and act. Our Lord Feilei did not sacrifice his life in vain.”
He Li turned his head sharply, looking among the Nuvian tribesmen, but could not see who was speaking to him.
Lord Shentu’s gaze was gloomy, and he was speechless. He was fighting a Desolate Lord when, without realizing it, he had swung his divine staff heavily and somehow severed Feilei’s head. He instantly thought of a possibility.
He made a decisive move and stopped Xun He, who was rushing to his aid, with his mind. He knew he was doomed. Under the public gaze, he had killed a Divine Race Lord, and during a great battle with the Desolate Race, his actions were no different from treason.
However, Xun He could not die yet. If Xun He died, the central battlefield would completely fall into He Li’s hands. The eastern, western, and northern battlefields all had intricate connections with He Li. If the central battlefield also fell, the Divine King would truly be alone.
Therefore, Xun He had to live, at least to lead his Divine Race expeditionary army back to the Divine Realm to protect the Divine King.
He was loyal. At this moment of life and death, his heart was still planning for the Divine King, thinking of the final fallback.
He Li had already drawn his saber and walked towards the Divine Race expeditionary army, which had formed a shield wall. They looked at He Li with cold expressions, watching the saber that was like clinging snowflakes. Even though they knew their Divine Race soldiers were no match for He Li’s single strike, they remained unmoved.
“Stand down!” Shentu’s voice sounded from behind the expeditionary army.
The Divine Race expeditionary army hesitated for a moment, opened their shield wall, and cleared a passage.
He Li ignored the expeditionary army, whose gazes were as sharp as blade edges, and walked directly towards Shentu with his saber.
Shentu looked at He Li, threw Feilei’s head over. He Li caught Feilei’s head with divine light, gently sent the head back to the Nuvian tribesmen, then raised his long saber and looked at Shentu without a word. kuAiδugg
Things had come to this,
There was nothing more to say between the two sides. All their plans had been rolled over countless times in their hearts. A single flaw would result in death.
Shentu tightly gripped the dragon-patterned dark gold divine staff, unleashed his peak Lord aura without reservation, and fought with all his might. The divine staff smashed down fiercely towards He Li.
He Li sidestepped and slid forward. The gleaming saber body brushed past the dragon-patterned divine staff and then sliced across Shentu’s neck. Due to the extreme speed, Shentu continued to smash forward. He Li had already stood firm and reached back with his hand, grabbing Shentu’s head. Shentu’s headless corpse continued to stumble forward, finally falling into the void and into the deep cosmic space.
He Li only made one move,
A sideward strike, across the neck.
This scene was witnessed by thousands of gods from both the Divine and Desolate Races. They were all stunned and disbelieving. They had expected a world-shattering battle, but never imagined it would end in an instant kill.
He Li, holding his saber in one hand and the head in the other, slowly turned around. His gaze passed through the Divine Race expeditionary army and looked at the expressionless Xun He, asking, “Do you want to try?”
Xun He’s face was ugly, and he did not reply.
He Li sheathed his long saber, surveyed the Divine Race soldiers, and said loudly, “The traitor who killed his own kin on the battlefield has been executed. Now, this battlefield is under my command!”
Boom boom boom!!!
At this moment, a series of explosions erupted behind He Li. A Divine Race Realm God, clad in crimson armor, broke out from the center of the Desolate Race army and charged madly towards He Li.
The battle on the distant front line began again. The Desolate Race army would not let go of such a good opportunity as the internal strife within the Divine Race.
He Li remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on Xun He. He was waiting for Xun He’s move, letting the mad Realm God charging at him from behind.
Xun He narrowed his eyes and looked at He Li. He noticed that He Li’s hand was still on the saber hilt, not having moved away. Moreover, Xia Ye Qi and Yi Yao stood to his left and right. If he made any move, the three of them would attack simultaneously and suppress him on the spot.
“Protect Lord He Li!”
Xun He gritted his teeth, the words forced out from between his teeth. After shouting this, his figure flickered, and he stood behind He Li. The Divine Race expeditionary army followed Xun He, blocking behind He Li and fighting the charging Realm God.
“You! You! You just watched Lord Shentu get killed! You traitors, get out of my way, I’m going to kill He Li!” He roared like a madman, constantly impacting the expeditionary army’s shield wall.
He was like a lone assassin fighting a hopeless battle, trying to break through the shield wall built of divine light to assassinate the man holding his master’s head.
He repeatedly impacted the divine light shield wall, unleashing astonishing divine power, but it was merely the desperate struggle of a beast before death, a final counterattack.
Between him and He Li, there was an insurmountable heavenly gate, and this heavenly gate was built by his former brothers.
He Li did not even glance at that Realm God from beginning to end.
Shentu is dead, do you think Xun He can live?
He Li commanded the Divine Race army to engage the Desolate Race army while waiting for Si An’s reinforcements. He had already begun to anticipate what surprises Si An would bring him and how he would deal with Xun He.
At this moment, He Li truly resembled an emperor, a cold-blooded and ruthless emperor.
