Chapter 321: Danger approaching
The two big True Spirit Round experts made their move and the spirit energy that surged forth almost tore the room to shreds.
Malim’s blade covered in black flames destroyed the Southern Summer King’s spear and took the opportunity to land a slash on the Southern Summer King. Although he transformed his source spirit into a defensive form, the strange black blade could absorb spirit energy. In the end, it released a strong power that sent the Southern Summer King flying.
“This is too boring!” Malim waved his black flame covered long blade a few times with a look of disappointment, “Why was there a need to use the poison? It would be better to have a direct fight. It’s a pity big brother would not listen to me, making this fight too boring.”
This insult was a great shame to the Southern Summer King, only the currently heavily injured Southern Summer King really could do nothing. With his current condition, he could not defeat Malim. Almost at the same moment the Southern Summer King was knocked back, Wang Tianlong brought the five War Hounds experts to attack Chu Tian.
Chu Tian shouted, “Fox!”
Of course the fox understood what it should do!
It raised its soul puppet high up and the little fox blew on it.
The Dragon Lizard Beast’s giant body almost instantly filled over half the room. A green glow came from its mouth that swept out at the peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer experts. The Dragon Lizard Beast’s was not weak, so even these experts had to dodge this attack.
“Humph!”
Malim swept out with his black blade and the corrosive green light of the Dragon Lizard beast was actually split apart by the black blade, not having any use at all.
“Capture Chu Tian alive!”
The six experts attacked at the same time. Gu Qianqiu blocked one expert, but another expert launched a sneak attack on him, stabbing through Gu Qianqiu’s protective spirit energy with a halberd. That powerful energy caused him serious injuries.
Meng Qingwu’s heart sunk to the bottom of her chest.
It’s over!
The Southern Summer King and Gu Qianqiu did not have the ability to resist and Meng Qingwu and Chu Tian had weak cultivation bases, so they could not help. There was no reinforcements or any miracles, they could only see death no matter how they looked at it.
At this crucial moment, Chu Tian pulled out two submachine guns.
“Do you still remember these?”
“This is bad!”
Wang Tianlong’s expression changed as he quickly retreated. A large amount of red needles shot out like a violent storm, with the War Hounds experts being hit in abundance, letting out pitiful cries as they fell down. Each needle was covered in large amounts of poison and although it wouldn’t kill these experts, it would still make their bodies feel numb.
Malim saw this situation and a black flame was released from his black blade, blocking in front of them. The True Spirit Realm spirit energy was too strong and the level two Blood Yin Steel Needles could not penetrate it. There wasn’t a lot of ammo in the two guns in the first place.
Chu Tian knit his brows.
There was no other way like this!
This was the True Spirit Realm, an Awakened Soul Realm’s methods had no use against a True Spirit Realm expert. Only by consuming the True Spirit Realm expert’s spirit energy through continuous battle and fighting them when they were exhausted, there was no other way of fighting them.
Malim saw that Chu Tian had already used all his tricks and did not send out another attack, “Chu Tian, you have some skills. If you swear loyalty to the War Hounds, I can let you not die.”
“Alright!” Chu Tian gave a laugh, “You want me to join the War Hounds? Then I have a condition, kill Wang Tianlong!”
Wang Tianlong never thought Chu Tian would Chu Tian would make this move, “Venerable envoy!”
“Humph, you think you have the qualification to give me a condition? Letting you live is already the biggest grace!”
Chu Tian gave several large laughs, “Then I’m sorry, I am not human waste that can sell out my ancestors nor am I a person that can endure living under the control of long haired beasts!”
Waste that sells out their ancestors was naturally referring to Wang Tianlong.
Long hair beasts was clearly indicating the Spirit Beasts.
“Shameful boasting!” Malim’s eyes flashed with rage, “Since you’re not willing to surrender, then we’ll make our move. I’ll first kill all the people by your side and see if you can still laugh like you are doing now!”
Malim’s monstrous blade was surrounded in a layer of black flames.
Meng Qingwu felt a terrifying killing intent envelop her.
This is bad, Malim could already see Meng Qingwu’s relation to Chu Tian, so he decided to kill Meng Qingwu to enrage Chu Tian? If Malim personally went after Meng Qingwu, it would be impossible for her to escape!
“I’m afraid you don’t have that capability!”
When Chu Tian’s words fell.
A sudden terrifying aura was released from within Chu Tian’s body. It was like an ancient demon god had suddenly descended down to earth. Malim, Wang Tianlong, the other War Hounds experts, and even the Southern Summer King were stunned by this power.
Chu Tian slowly floated into the air, no longer having a cynical look on his face. Rather he looked like a high emperor, a god looking down on all mortals.
Nine Eyed Demon God Source Spirit!
Awaken!
An incomparably large outline appeared behind Chu Tian and that strong pressure filled the entire fortress. All the War Hounds attacking the fortress felt this aura and their mounts were filled with fear, not being able to control themselves. The entire battlefield was filled with chaos.
What was this shocking power?
Malim did not dare believe that the terrifying power of an ancient god would come from a weak human. When Chu Tian released this terrifying aura, he immediately stopped attacking and went to a defensive stance.
Illusion?
No, it didn’t seem like it. This strength was something that was solid!
“Just an empty trick!”
“Kill him!”
The five War Hounds experts received this order and jumped out together, releasing their source spirits and attacking at the same time.
When Chu Tian was faced with five peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer experts, his eyes went cold and his expression did not change. If anyone was paying close attention to his eyes, they could see that the colour had changed, with the left being silver and the right being gold. There were seven different pupils, forming the shape of a flower.
“You want to kill me with just these people?!”
Chu Tian’s voice was not loud, but it was filled with the prestige of a god, cracking the minds of the five War Hounds experts like a bomb. This spiritual energy was too strong and their source spirits all collapsed, causing all their condensed power to vanish.
“Soul Harvest!”
The purple pupil began to glow.
That vague Nine Eyed Demon God raised a purple sickle and slashed through the five War Hounds expert with an unbelievable speed. When the blade went through them, the five peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer experts did not have any wounds, but they all gave pitiful cries as they fell to the ground. Their eyes were wide open and glazed over, unable to die anymore.
Wang Tianlong suddenly revealed a look of terror. Instantly kill five peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer experts?
Even True Spirit expert could not accomplish this! What kind of thing was he!
After Chu Tian finished this attack, blood began to seep out from all over his body and his body began to sway. It was like he had used a powerful strength that had almost torn his body to pieces.
Malim also noticed this, “Although he is very strong, there is a very large price. His body is quickly drying up and can’t hold on any longer. You, go!”
How could Wang Tianlong dare go forth?
Even if Chu Tian’s body was quickly breaking down, that terrifying pressure still existed. Faced with the aloof pressure of a Spiritual God, even the bravest warrior would be timid. Didn’t Malim himself not dare go forth?
“Useless trash, father will not play with you!”
Chu Tian’s white pupil lit up and an energy enveloped them, covering the Southern Summer King, Gu Qianqiu, and Meng Qingwu. Instantly spatial fluctuations appeared and the four of them disappeared.
That terrifying aura also disappeared.
Malim and Wang Tianlong let out sigh of relief.
“Teleportation?” Wang Tianlong was shocked by Chu Tian’s sudden disappearance, “It’s actually teleportation!”
After this pressure disappeared, Malim’s calm was restored and he thought it over. Chu Tian had no other choice and could not fight him, so he used a secret spatial technique to escape. This meant that he had reached his limit and did not have the confidence to continue using this power any longer.
This power was very strong!
Even a True Spirit Realm expert had to fear it!
But with his weak cultivation, continuously using this strength was akin to committing suicide. His body would quickly collapse from using it and sustaining this effect for a period of time was not good. Even if Chu Tian did not die, he would still be half dead.
This kind of power was hidden on this person!
Chase, he had to chase!
Malim took a sniff, “Very close, he didn’t go far! Chase for me!”
There were several people’s auras nearby, so close that it didn’t confirm his guess. Chu Tian could use the teleportation technique, so why didn’t he escape a bit further? There was only one possibility, he did not have enough power!
At this time, Chu Tian, the Southern Summer King, Gu Qianqiu, and Meng Qingwu appeared in a corridor several hundred meters away.
The little fox gave a few angry cries. It did not have time to take back its soul puppet and in order to use the Dragon Lizard Beast to stall for time, he had lost his favourite soul puppet.
“Chu Tian!”
Meng Qingwu went to support Chu Tian and found that her hands were covered in blood. Chu Tian did not have any injuries and this blood clearly came from the strong pressure, making his veins unable to stop themselves from bursting.
“I…..won’t die.”
Chu Tian was very weak, almost being unable to stand up. He could only eat a few Blood Stopping Pills and stabilize his injuries.
The other people’s situations were not good either. The little fox was throwing a fit from losing its soul puppet and Gu Qianqiu and the Southern Summer King were both injured, especially the Southern Summer King, his injuries were very serious. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Gu Qianqiu quickly supported him up, “Your majesty!”
“Let me see…..” Chu Tian held Meng Qingwu’s arm as he walked over with difficulty, using his Divine Sense to scan the Southern Summer King. His expression was serious as he used a weak voice to say, “I’m afraid this is troublesome. The poison is very vicious and has already spread to his visceras, this is a bit bad!”
Gu Qianqiu asked, “Is there an antidote?”
Chu Tian said with a nod, “An antidote…..of course there is! But I’m afraid it’s too late. I don’t have enough materials and there is no time to concoct the medicine.”
“Chu Tian, tell it to me straight!” The Southern Summer King looked at Chu Tian with a complicated gaze, “How much time does this king have left?”
Chu Tian hesitated a bit. The Southern Summer King’s body was very bad and if it couldn’t be detoxed in time, even with his True Spirit Realm cultivation, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.
“At most…..one to two hours!”
Everyone’s expressions filled with fear.
Hong!
The sealed channel was blown up to form a hole.
This is bad, they caught up this quickly!”
“This king will not be able to make it past this event, but the Southern Summer Country must make it through.” The Southern Summer King tightly gripped his fist, “This king will stall for time, you all go and find old general Dongfang Zhan and have him deal with the Battle Dragon Army. The War Hounds army was scared by Chu Tian’s aura, so they will not attack right now. You still have time to accomplish everything!”
As long as the frontline fortress was not penetrated, nothing would happen to the Southern Summer Country. Once the fortress was breached, everything would be too late!
Gu Qianqiu angrily said, “I’ll stall for time, you all go!”
The Southern Summer King grabbed Gu Qianqiu’s clothes, “The situation is too severe!”
Gu Qianqiu was suddenly silent.
He knew that he could not block Malim with his strength. With how weak Chu Tian was now, only the Southern Summer King could stall for time.
“Chu Tian, this king has always been jealous of your talent, so I have always been biased of you. It’s a good thing I saw your true strength today, this king finally realized how stupid this one was. With your strength, you will one day stand at the peak of the continent and even those emperors will bow to you, what does a small Southern Summer Country count for? You can’t die. If you die, it would truly be a pity!”
The Southern Summer King had come to terms with everything. A man’s words came from the heart when he was on the brink of death.
“Take this token with you.” The Southern Summer King gave his token to Chu Tian, “Great scholar Gu, please act as a witness. Help this king send back his final order.”
Gu Qianqiu’s old eyes were already filled with tears, “Your majesty!”
The Southern Summer King said in a deep voice, “This king was incompetent and have brought shame to my ancestors. In this difficult situation of the Southern Summer Country, this king can only use his own body to help. However, this country cannot lack a master. Dongfang Haoran cannot withstand this position and will not be able to turn the situation around in this crisis. The Calm Martial Ruler Dongfang Gan will inherit the Southern Summer King title and will lead the country against the War Hounds! Other than that, Chu Tian will be titled the Country Guarding Ruler, as well as being named the leader of the rulers and a descendant of the Dongfang Family. If anyone dares go against the ruler, he will be abandoned by the gods and condemned by the heaven and earth!”
Chu Tian cupped his hands.
The Southern Summer King held Chu Tian’s hands and said, “If the Dongfang Family is not worthy, the ruler can abandon the throne and name yourself the Southern Summer King!”
Gu Qianqiu’s old eyes burst with tears, “This old minister will follow the king’s orders!”
Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu also bowed to the Southern Summer King. At this time, a fierce killing intent enveloped them. The Southern Summer King displayed the Dongfang Family’s secret technique, burning his life essence and instantly erupting with power. An invisible hand grabbed the three of them and threw them outside.
The Southern Summer King kneeled to the three of them.
“I’ll trust you all with the Southern Summer’s territory!”
“You must take revenge for this king!”
A king would rather die than bow, but today he was kneeling to the three of them. What kind of tragic and desolate scene was this?
The instant the channel closed, a large sound came from behind him. Malim’s group charged in and the Southern Summer King turned to coldly look at them.
“You’re not escaping?”
“This king is the Southern Summer King, if I die, I die with dignity!”
Malim was silent for a few seconds before nodding at Wang Tianlong beside him and saying, “You stay back and you’re not allowed to make a move. I will give the Southern Summer King his last rites!”
The Southern Summer King broke out in laughter, “Come!”
The moment they clashed, the True Spirit Realm strength instantly created a giant explosion. The sounds of the fight lasted around ten minutes before it went completely silent.
