The faces of Ai Chen and Ri Kushou stiffened upon hearing the old man’s words.
The Celestial Paragon Tower was many times stronger than the six great armies. The army that Valir brought with him was only a small part of their forces. They are in control of many subordinate races and elite top experts. Not to mention that Celestial Emperor Lao Gou was supporting them!
When Valir saw their expressions, he let out a cold smile as he said. “The Heavenly Sword Tower is an enemy of the Celestial Emperor Lao Gou. It is our task to eliminate them including their leader, Jiu Shen!”
“What?!”
“No way! We can’t allow that to happen!”
“Wine Master Jiu Shen killed the High Chieftain of the Infernals, preventing major casualties in the allied army! How could we allow you to do as you please here?!”
This time, everyone in the allied army became agitated. They admired Jiu Shen who was capable of killing a Celestial God Realm.
Tsk!
Valir clicked his tongue. He already expected this scene to happen.
Just as he was about to retort, a figure suddenly walked beside Valir.
“Sect Master Telu!”
“Sect Master Telu is here! That means Celestial Emperor Lao Gou is placing great importance on this matter!”
Telu arrived at the scene with tens of thousands of subordinates. He had a cold expression on his face as he swept his gaze towards the allied army. “This will be your final warning! Stay out of this or you will be hunted by the entire Celestial Paragon Tower until all of you are killed!”
Everyone took a step back when they sensed the overwhelming aura of Telu. Despite his cultivation being similar to Valir and the six great leaders, Telu’s strength appeared to be superior to them!
Ai Chen gritted her teeth, but she didn’t back down. Sweat formed on her forehead as she stared deeply at Telu. This man was many times stronger than her!
Great General Ri Kushou frowned, but he remained still. The threats from Valir and Telu seemed to be ineffective to him. He was a man who valued favors and camaraderie. ‘Brothers, if we die here, I will apologize to you guys in Hell!’ He shouted in his heart.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
A series of clapping sounds broke the heated atmosphere. Everyone turned their gazes and saw a middle-aged man with red hair looking at Telu with a smile. “Indeed the son of Celestial Emperor Lao Gou! A tiger father wouldn’t have a dog son! Hahaha!” His words were full of hidden meaning.
‘Furion, a Phoenix that was always seen together with Jian Wang. A difficult opponent…’ Telu muttered to himself. He had to be cautious toward this man.
“Furion, do you plan to stand with those fools?” Telu had to be careful about this guy since the man was Jian Wang’s trusted aide.
“Hahaha! What do you think?” Furion winked at him with a mocking voice.
Telu’s mouth twitched when he saw the disdainful look of the Phoenix. He could barely repress his anger at this point. “Do you really think that I’m afraid of you? Even if you join them, I can still handle all of you combined!” He shouted confidently.
No one denied his words. Telu was indeed among the strongest experts beneath the Celestial God Realm.
“Is that so? Then prove to everyone that you truly possess such power!” Furion released his true essence and a violent crimson flame covered his body.
The sand beneath his feet issued a ‘kaka’ sound as it slowly burned under the immense heat of his flame.
Hm?
Telu was a bit surprised by the sudden show of power. He thought that Furion wouldn’t make a move, but it seems like the man was planning to fight against him when he saw Furion’s battle intent.
In truth, Furion didn’t plan to provoke Telu. However, he received a message from Jian Wang earlier. The content of the message was like this. (Furion, we must stand with the Heavenly Sword Tower.)
The message was short, but it was enough to show Jian Wang’s opinion on this matter. Furion was even excited when he heard the message.
‘He’s finally planning to fight Lao Gou! I’ve been dreaming to see that old man Lao Gou beaten to a pulp! That guy is too arrogant, flaunting his power as a Celestial Emperor!’ Furion laughed in his heart.
Telu grabbed his weapon and pointed it toward Furion. “Since you want death, I’ll grant your wish!” He roared.
Telu executed a movement technique to close in towards Furion. He then swung his weapon which was coated with his true essence. Its sharpness was enhanced multiple times and it was capable of cutting the body of divine beasts!
Furion’s expression turned serious when he faced Telu’s attack. The man was arrogant, but his power wasn’t fake. It would be difficult for him to defeat Telu even if he ignited his divine bloodline.
Furion quickly summoned a pair of flaming wings to protect his body from the attack.
Bang!
Crash!
Sand and raging winds broke loose after that violent strike!
Everyone shielded their eyes using their spiritual perception.
They hurriedly retreated to prevent getting caught up in the battle. They couldn’t afford to provoke any of the two sides so they could only watch the fight helplessly.
Meanwhile, Valir commanded the Celestial Paragon Tower to charge forward.
“Kill them!” Valir shouted as he pulled out a pair of giant hammers.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The desert region was once again filled with sounds of battle and weapons clashing.
A blonde beauty wearing black armor led the Heavenly Sword Tower. Although she was only a late stage Heavenly God Realm expert, she was able to fight Valir who has a slightly higher cultivation than her evenly!
Her swift sword strikes were filled with elegance and ferocity. Valir could barely block her sword with his hammers.
“Dammit! Who is this little girl?!” The old man gritted his teeth as he nervously looked at Theia’s cold expressionless face.
