Chapter 210: Four Saints Resist the Enemy, Heavenly Might!

Chapter 210: Four Saints Resist the Enemy, Heavenly Might!

Capital City of Cai Kingdom.

“Cough...” Zhang Feng spat out blood, his face deathly pale.

The burly man, clad in iron armor, was adorned with intricate patterns and densely packed character designs.

He looked at Zhang Feng, eyebrows furrowed. "How's the injury?"

The burly man was a squad Leader of the Demon Deity Camp and possessed the strength of Heaven Striding Third Step.

"Probably it'll take several dozen years to recover before I can act," Zhang Feng said, his eyes seeming sorrowful, "In this time, I fear I can't serve the Lord."

"You were too careless, even being injured by an assassin."

The assassin was executed, but your wound...” The burly man frowned, his expression unpredictable.

The camp commander always trusted Zhang Feng, delegating all kinds of dirty work to him.

After all, Zhang Feng was an Ancient Deity and should have died in the line of duty.

"Ah, even the assassin was a Heaven Striding Third Step, the camp leader, who has killed many Ancient Deities."

The burly man looked at the wounds on Zhang Feng's body. "You should rest first, I'll report to the camp commander."

He then led three new deities out of the palace. The burly man squinted his eyes as if he could not believe one of the new Deities could not help but mutter, "This Zhang Feng is really wounded!"

"Indeed, but I can't help the camp commander get things done!" His nephew died, and he didn't come to avenge him. Don't we have to avenge him?"

The new deities all guessed maliciously.

"Talking about the assassin being a Heaven Striding Third Step, he couldn't even get the corpse of the Ancient Deity out!"

Last night, after receiving the news of Zhang Feng being stabbed, they immediately set out to aid the Cai Kingdom.

In the end, they only received a closed-door-soup, and it was not until dawn that they saw the injured Zhang Feng.

The burly man glanced at his subordinates, sighing, "His injury isn’t faked."

No matter if he was faking or not, the camp commander couldn't mobilize him for sure in these past dozen years.

"Hmm, this is our patch, with the camp commander sitting in the town, who would dare to send a Heaven Striding Third Step Ancient Deity to act?"

"An assassin appearing here is truly a great joke!"

The appearance of assassins in this area was indeed a laughing matter, considering the frequent assassinations of Ancient Deities, which were almost eradicated.

The runners could run, and they had run.

However, an ear-splitting sound akin to a thunderclap suddenly erupted.

"Execute the traitor Zhang Feng, no mercy!"

The four new deities were stunned by the sound.

Was there really an assassin?

At this moment, the injured Zhang Feng was also startled awake.

There was really an assassin!

"Damn it!" The burly man shouted loudly, "Who dares to act so recklessly in front of Grandpa!"

The burly man looked at Zhang Feng with a murderous gaze, stabbed to death, yet he still lived.

Now, their camp commander was coming, and so were the clear-eyed Zhang Feng and the bold ones. How could he not be enraged?

He soared into the sky.

At once, seven new deities also soared into the sky.

Powerful Demon Deity essence energy permeated the air, sweeping through the Capital City of Cai Kingdom.

All the commoners were trembling.

At this moment, Qi Yuan and others' figures paused in the sky above the Cai Kingdom.

Qi Yuan looked at the burly man, squinting. "Isn't this Zhang Feng?"

Beside him, Wang Wenqi hurriedly said, "No, it's not Zhang Feng!"

The burly man, at this moment, also looked at Qi Yuan, eyes wide with astonishment. "Why did you dare to come to the Capital City of the Cai Kingdom with so much audacity?"

It had to be said, Qi Yuan and others' arrival was quite imposing.

More than twenty new deities, and the majority were Heaven Striding Second Steps.

In the surrounding countries, this was undoubtedly a formidable force.

However, the burly man was not afraid at all.

This time, they were coming to the Capital City with their camp commander, all elites. Eight True Deities, four of them were Heaven Striding Third Steps. The number of Heaven Striding Second Steps was fewer than Qi Yuan's group, but in terms of strength, they far surpassed.

He was the peak of the Heaven Striding Third Step, about to condense a Divine Domain Embryo.

He alone could suppress all these Ancient Deities. "So many, all loyal servants!" The burly man spoke, his voice agitated. "Isn't Zhang Feng, even daring to obstruct the road, looking for death?"

Qi Yuan opened his mouth, a fierce light flashed in his eyes at this time, a voice of regret came, "If your grandfather dies, would you not come to avenge him? Even if your grandfather dies and you are still tired from the endless toil of the city's commoners, should you not resist the new deities?"

Wang Wenqi looked at Zhang Feng, her eyes turning red. Qi Yuan looked at Zhang Feng, squinting, and instantly changed the topic, not wanting to hear Zhang Feng's pretend-wounded remarks, "What did you do to pretend to be injured? Do you think, by pretending to be injured, I would let you off easy?"

At this time, Zhang Feng looked weak, as if heavily injured, but in fact, he was not injured at all.

The burly man, hearing this, leaped down.

Zhang Feng coughed, spitting out blood.

The burly man looked at Qi Yuan. "It seems the assassin who stabbed Brother Zhang Feng last night was your comrade."

The other new deities also felt ashamed and guilty. "How's Brother Zhang Feng now?"

Zhang Feng thought of the Thunder god great venerable. "He's naturally executed!"

"Dead?"

Qi Yuan laughed, "Then it's your turn!"

Even if Zhang Feng was heavily injured, he would not be killed. Directly killed, the Thunder God Great Venerable would be laughed at for three years.

So Qi Yuan understood, the Thunder God Great Venerable might not have come yet.

This was also quite normal.

If the Thunder god great venerable were to hunt down Zhang Feng, he definitely would not charge in recklessly but would be careful to avoid all the major cities.

During this period, some accidents might happen, delaying for a while.

Qi Yuan's heart settled, and he no longer felt a great sense of urgency. He looked at the evil deity before him, revealing a greedy look in his eyes.

"So much Divine Essence Energy."

There would likely be many powerful deities to contemplate.

The bulky man, feeling uneasy under Qi Yuan's gaze, said, "I don't like the way you're looking at me!"

After all, he was the predator, and Qi Yuan and his group were the prey, the credit, and the military merit.

"I don't care if you like it or not," Qi Yuan was too lazy to explain further, "Everyone except Zhang Feng will be captured alive!"

Qi Yuan gave the order.

His words also left the Ancient Deities and New Deities present a little stunned.

Shouldn't they be capturing them alive? How could they capture them if they were dead? But since Qi Yuan had given the order, all the Ancient Deities had no hesitation and immediately scattered to surround the eight Ancient Deities, including Zhang Feng.

The bulky man's smile froze on his face. "Am I still dreaming? How dare a group of Sky Treading Second Step Deities surround us?"

He was truly perplexed.

These Ancient Deities must have gone mad!

But then he remembered that they had come to assassinate Zhang Feng, and with such high-profile actions, everything became easier to understand.

"Attack! After we finish them off, we still have people to find. Shen Lei Laodeng is too unreliable," Qi Yuan said with a sullen expression.

Indeed, when one grew old, they became less capable.

He even suspected that Shen Lei Laodeng might have dementia and gotten lost. The other Ancient Deities, upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, quickly took action.

"Kill!"

Facing the powerful Evil Deities, they made no attempt to hide and directly unleashed their Divine Domain Embryos.

In an instant, nearly twenty Divine Domain Embryos were activated simultaneously.

The space above the capital of Cai Kingdom froze at that moment.

Zhang Feng's smile finally froze as well.

A look of fear appeared on the bulky man's face.

"Divine Domain Embryo..."

"Impossible!"

They couldn't comprehend the situation.

How could they encounter such Ancient Deities, and not just one of them?

Within the Divine Domain Embryos, these Evil Deities, whether Sky Treading Second Step or Sky Treading First Step, were completely immobilized.

The dozens of Divine Orifices within their bodies also became sluggish at that moment.

The difference between a Venerable and a Grand Venerable was the Divine Domain.

The number of Divine Orifices determined the amount of Divine Essence Energy and the speed at which it circulated.

When a Grand Venerable's Divine Domain Embryo was unleashed, it could directly block the Divine Orifices of a Venerable.

At this moment, the Sky Treading Third Step Deities were as fragile as Sky Treading First Step Deities.

"I'll do the killing. It's been too boring for too long!"

At this moment, Qi Yuan's voice echoed.

Due to the world's restrictions, Qi Yuan had been stuck at the Purple Mansion Peak for a long time.

When he fought alongside deities, it was always his subjects who did the fighting.

Every time, Qi Yuan watched eagerly but couldn't join the battle.

Once, Shen Lei Da Zun directly subdued an Evil Deity and handed him over to Qi Yuan, but Qi Yuan couldn't even kill him.

He felt incredibly frustrated.

Now, with so many heads to take, he was naturally eager.

"Bring the sword," Qi Yuan commanded, and a blood-red longsword appeared, floating in the air like a dancing dragon.

The longsword entered the Divine Domain Embryo as if it were walking into an uninhabited realm.

The sword light flew towards the eight powerful Evil Deities.

One by one, these terrifying Evil Deities fell.

Their heads hit the ground, and their bodies were smashed to pieces by Qi Yuan's sword.

They died without a trace of dignity.

"This time, I can finally eat with a clear conscience."

After killing the eight Evil Deities, Qi Yuan gained a significant amount of Divine Essence Energy and his strength increased substantially.

His gaze finally turned towards Zhang Feng.

At this moment, Zhang Feng was like a dead dog, completely immobilized by the Divine Domain Embryo and the pressure of the Divine Essence Energy.

Qi Yuan exhaled, "It feels good to take advantage of the situation!"

He had always been timid before, but this time, he could finally strike with full force.

Looking at Zhang Feng, his eyes became sharp, "I've wanted to kill you for a long time."

Zhang Feng, under the pressure of the other deities, showed a terrified expression, "Have I... offended you, sir?"

He tried hard to recall but couldn't remember any offense.

But when Qi Yuan mentioned a long time, did he mean a million years ago?

"Yes," Qi Yuan said, "Before I kill you, I will... search your soul!"

Qi Yuan rarely searched souls.

With enemies, he always preferred to kill directly.

Zhang Feng's face showed fear, "How have I offended you, sir? Please enlighten me so that I may die with understanding!"

Zhang Feng had always been a survivor, grasping at any chance to stay alive.

---

"Venerable Tianbao is someone I respect, but I've never met him.

You are the closest to Venerable Tianbao. I want to see what he looks like."

Qi Yuan finished speaking, ignoring Zhang Feng's shocked expression, and his divine sense forcefully pierced into Zhang Feng's consciousness.

Ripping and penetrating.

In an instant, countless memories flooded into Qi Yuan's mind.

Within Zhang Feng's memories, Qi Yuan finally saw that kind-hearted old man.

He often wore plain clothes and fished by the lake.

With all the memories in hand, Qi Yuan looked at Zhang Feng, who was now dazed.

"Venerable Tianbao, this time, I will remember you."

This time, he had met Venerable Tianbao and learned much about him.

Qi Yuan always remembered those who had shown him kindness.

To be remembered meant not to be completely forgotten.

With that, perhaps one day, when he stepped into the Mythical Realm, those old acquaintances might appear again.

After speaking, Qi Yuan slashed Zhang Feng with his sword.

Wang Wenqi, who had been slightly excited, now had a tear in her eye.

The twin sister spoke up, "Sir, we should leave. The Evil Deity camp will be here soon.

Next time, it might be a Grand Venerable!"

Hearing this, Qi Yuan nodded. He thought of something and suddenly shouted, "People of the capital city, I couldn't host a feast this time, but I will come again and treat you all!"

Qi Yuan was a little disappointed that he couldn't feast at the deceased's home.

But there was still a chance.

At this moment, the citizens of the capital city looked at each other, feeling it was beyond comprehension.

"Let's go!"

At this moment, Qi Yuan also knew it was time to leave.

Their strength was formidable, but compared to the Evil Deity camp, they still had a significant gap.

If the Evil Deities in the camp were fearless, like robots, they might be able to hold them back.

The group instantly transformed into streams of light and fled at high speed.

Killing and then fleeing, such a stimulating feeling.

Qi Yuan was used to this sensation.

The only regret was not feasting at the victim's home.

Just then, a deep voice suddenly echoed, "Since you're here, stay and face the consequences!"

Upon hearing this voice, all the Ancient Deities present changed their expressions in shock.

"Grand Venerable!"

And with that, the Grand Venerable made his move. A colossal beam of light shot forth from the distant north, rushing towards everyone present with relentless speed.

This beam was imbued with a destructive aura, as if capable of annihilating everything in its path.

It was none other than a Grand Venerable, launching a full-force attack from thousands of miles away, targeting them all.

The difference between a Grand Venerable and a Venerable was akin to that between a Dark God and a Purple Mansion.

Although the people present had consumed the Divine Domain Immortal Dew and could manifest the Divine Domain Seed, they were no match for the Grand Venerable's complete Divine Domain.

Even from thousands of miles away, the single attack was overwhelming, and the Ancient Deities present all felt a sense of impending destruction, an unstoppable force.

Shuangge Sister's expression turned solemn. "Let us all join forces to help the Lord block this attack!"

She called out to the other seven Ancient Deities.

These seven Ancient Deities were all seasoned and powerful, and with their combined strength, they might be able to halt this attack.

Of course, even so, they would still suffer heavy losses.

For these eight, having two survive would be a fortunate outcome.

This was the difference between a Grand Venerable and an ordinary Venerable.

"There's no need for you to intervene!"

At that moment, Zhu Zhuangshi stepped forward, followed by Chen Xifan, Shi Zhongshan, and Mu Tong.

Shuangge Sister was taken aback.

Hadn't these four just broken through to the True Deity realm?

Their attempt to intercept the attack was akin to courting death.

Qi Yuan nodded. "Northern Pole Four Saints, don't let me down."

Indeed, these four had cultivated the Northern Pole Four Saints God Contemplation Technique.

Zhu Zhuangshi was the Grand General Tianpeng, Chen Xifan was the Supreme God Xuantian, later known as the True Martial Emperor, Shi Zhongshan was the Heavenly Strategy General, and Mu Tong was the Winged Saint General.

"Even if it's a myth, the gap is just too great..." Shuangge Sister's heart raced with anxiety.

These four had cultivated the myth-level God Contemplation Technique, yet they hadn't fully matured, and dying here would be a terrible waste.

However, they dared not refute Qi Yuan's words.

They could only worry in their hearts.

The four villagers flew into the sky, facing the colossal beam of light.

They stared at the Grand Venerable's full-force attack without fear.

"Today, I'll show you what true power is!" Zhu Zhuangshi roared.

The other three villagers joined in with their own battle cries.

Suddenly, time seemed to freeze.

As they roared, the four villagers' appearances transformed, and a sacred aura enveloped them.

Terrifying shadows materialized behind them.

Behind Zhu Zhuangshi, a horrifying four-headed, eight-armed deity appeared, wielding eight different weapons and standing over forty zhang tall.

The Milky Way flowed in his palms, and heavenly thunder danced in his hair like tiny snakes.

The Tianpeng Shadow emerged.

The other three villagers also underwent similar transformations.

Behind each of them, terrifying shadows took form.

These shadows resembled descending deities, too overwhelming to look at directly.

Just a glance was enough to instill fear.

At that moment, the sound of an endless Milky Way seemed to sweep through.

The clamor of war drums and clashing weapons filled the air.

All the Ancient Deities couldn't help but look behind the shadows, where an army of thousands seemed to gather.

"This... is this a myth?"

"Why is it so much more terrifying than I ever imagined, by a hundred or a thousand times!"

The Ancient Deities trembled as they gazed upon the scene.

A purple thunderbolt flashed, and the Milky Way churned.

Countless war cries echoed as they seemed to witness an army behind the shadows, countless deities clad in golden armor, holding long spears and halberds, like an endless battalion.

Each soldier was, in fact, a deity!

These deities formed a dense formation, and at a glance, there were more than ten thousand of them!

Shouts and battle cries filled the air.

"Heavenly Laborers, Southern Guardian!"

"Heavenly Heralds, Northern Guardian!"

"Thirty Thousand Soldiers, Guard my Ninefold!"

The Ancient Deities were stunned.

Myth?

What kind of myth was this! In the mundane Heart World, where could there be a deity commanding thirty thousand divine soldiers?

Thirty thousand divine beings as soldiers!

Even the Hongtang War wouldn't dare to exaggerate like this.

"I am the leader of the Northern Pole Four Saints, Grand General Tianpeng!"

"You dare to hurt me!"

Zhu Zhuangshi roared again.

The terrifying shadow behind him opened its eyes.

The other three villagers also opened their eyes.

An overwhelming pressure enveloped everything.

This scene was beyond the description of a deity descending to the mortal realm.

The Northern Pole Four Saints' shadows reached out and grabbed the terrifying beam of light that could destroy everything.

"Ahhhh!" Zhu Zhuangshi roared.

The other three villagers also exuded an air of authority.

Using their Venerable bodies and the Divine Domain Seed, they forcefully withstood the Grand Venerable's full-force attack.

Boom!

The beam of light dissipated!
