Chapter 1840 Running Away
Chapter 1840 Running Away
Outside the city walls, in the void.
The Earth Demon received the message from the Heavenly Demon and his expression relaxed slightly.
Seriously wounded? Captured?
He muttered to himself, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
But the next moment, his expression suddenly froze.
wrong.
He knew Tianmo's personality all too well.
If Chen Wanli was truly seriously injured, given her personality, she would absolutely not leave him alive.
It's even less likely that they would swagger back with a "prisoner".
not to mention......
If Chen Wanli was seriously injured, Tianmo should have gone to the seventh level with Ye Zhenjun.
Unless... there is something unusual that I am unaware of.
After a quick thought, the Earth Demon's face gradually darkened.
If the Heavenly Demon sends a false message, what reason would the Heavenly Demon have to deceive itself?
Unless it wasn't actually the case that Chen Wanli was captured.
Or is it that the Heavenly Demon is being controlled?
Thinking of this, the Earth Demon's expression became even more solemn.
But after carefully sensing the aura of the Heavenly Demon, he realized that it didn't seem to pose any major problem.
However, the possibility of deceiving oneself cannot be ruled out.
The Earth Demon took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions within him.
With some doubt, he made his decision.
Since the situation is unclear, we should not show ourselves rashly.
It's not a bad thing to observe and be cautious about anything that can thwart Ye Zhenjun's plans.
Thinking of this, the Earth Demon's eyes flickered, and a demonic thought entered the city:
“Golden-Eyed Lion King, there seems to be something unusual near the teleportation array. You shall act accordingly, while I will cover your retreat.”
After saying that, he flashed and transformed into a wisp of demonic energy, silently disappearing into the deeper void and drifting away into the distance. His aura was completely concealed, as if he had never existed.
......
Within the city walls.
The Golden-Eyed Lion King was lying listlessly on the roof of the palace when he suddenly received a message from the Earth Demon, which immediately perked him up.
"Chen Wanli is back? The Earth Demon King went into hiding first? What does that mean?"
It rolled over and stood up, a hint of doubt flashing in its golden eyes.
Hiding in the shadows to ambush?
Or is the old man scared? Want to see how he fares?
It paced back and forth, its brow furrowed.
It had fought Chen Wanli outside the Dragon Palace. In terms of combat strength, they were evenly matched, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.
They're pretty much evenly matched.
Not long after, even though Chen Wanli had some fortuitous encounters at the Moon Extreme God Platform and his strength had improved, he couldn't be said to have left it too far behind.
From this perspective, there seems to be no need to worry too much.
However, Ye Zhenjun and the Earth Demon's plan was thwarted by Chen Wanli.
There is also a demon whose whereabouts are unknown.
The old lion was not at peace at that moment.
I wonder if there are any inside stories I'm unaware of.
For so many years, in the eyes of the outside world, the Demon Emperor was a vassal of the two Demon Kings of Heaven and Earth, or even an echo.
But this is the result of its rational choice.
This is not evidence that it is brainless and incompetent.
I briefly assessed the situation.
The Golden-Eyed Lion King stretched his neck and muttered, "Even if we can't win easily, the situation won't get out of control!"
Thinking of this, it took a step forward and darted towards the city gate.
......
City wall.
Lei Jiang saw the Golden-Eyed Lion King flash out.
He suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with intense light!
"Is it Emperor Chen Shenzu who's back?!"
Xiang Dehong was stunned, then overjoyed: "Really?! He's really back?!"
Lei Jiang squinted: "It must be! Otherwise, this old lion king wouldn't be able to get out! It's afraid the city's great formation will lock it up!"
A slight smile played on his lips. "That old guy got away fast!"
Since Chen Wanli was nowhere to be found, he naturally dared not waste the entire power of the great formation on besieging the Lion King and the Earth Demon, since the great formation could not kill two Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of their cultivation.
On the contrary, exhausting one's power will cause the Soul Devouring Disease to erupt.
But now that Chen Wanli has returned, the situation has changed dramatically, and this great formation can be used to "trapped a beast".
"You seem quite confident!" Xiang Dehong grinned when he saw the upward curve of Lei Jiang's lips.
The Lion King alone is already a formidable foe, and there is also a demon of unfathomable strength lurking in the shadows.
Chen Wanli has returned from the tiger's den. I wonder how badly he is injured now. Even at his peak, he is no match for the two top masters!
Lei Jiang dared not show any sign of confidence.
Just then, Ancestor Lei Ze leaped out of the city and asked, "Is it Ancestor Chen who has returned?"
Before he finished speaking, he took a step forward, intending to chase after the Lion King's figure.
But Lei Jiang, quick-witted and agile, stopped him: "Ancestor, don't be in a hurry!"
"Ok?"
"A battle of that level, even the Ancestor would be..." Lei Jiang hesitated, then stopped.
Ancestor Lei Ze roared, "Do you think I'm useless?"
"No! Wait until I gather the Divine Army to march together!"
As Lei Jiang spoke, a green seal flew out from his waist, forming countless light and shadow in the void and projecting into the city.
In an instant, figures darted out along with the light and shadow.
Ancestor Lei Ze gaped open.
Xiang Dejiang was also stunned.
Does this mean we're going to risk everything the Protoss have?
"Is it Brother Chen who's back?"
Xiang Qing and Xuan Le, along with Feng Xi and others, flew out, each with an anxious expression.
They were more conflicted than the others.
Returning now would only result in being ganged up on by two top-tier experts; it would be better not to have come back at all!
"Cough cough!" Xiang Dejiang coughed twice.
So Lei Jiang wasn't confident, nor was he certain of victory.
Is Chen Wanli truly gratified that he has lived up to the expectations of the gods?
Is their plan to lead the Protoss to fight to the death?
Even if the gods were to form ranks and fight, the interference they could cause to the two top-tier powerhouses would be negligible.
Lei Jiang said softly, "Ancestor Chen has not failed the Divine Clan, and the Divine Clan should naturally share life and death with him!"
"Fight!" Ancestor Lei Ze said in a deep voice, acknowledging Lei Jiang's words.
Xiang Dehong remained silent for a long time before nodding.
At this moment, the five thousand troops of the Protoss had all formed ranks in the void.
At Lei Jiang's command, they marched out of the city in a grand procession.
The only thing left about this team was its tragic spirit, carrying the feeling that they would never return.
......
The Golden-Eyed Lion King stopped a hundred miles outside the city.
Sensing the movement behind it, it slowly turned around and glanced back.
Five thousand Protoss soldiers?
Ah!
It completely ignored it and looked back into the distance.
I could sense several powerful auras approaching.
It seems Chen Wanli wasn't the only one?
Dragon King? Kuafu Chong? Fang Fengting?
They ventured deep into the Moon God Platform, and not a single one perished?
Of the three, the Dragon King is a bit troublesome; it doesn't take the other two gods seriously.
However, as time went by, its perception became clearer and clearer, and there were four powerful auras in total!
Who else?
It sniffed; the earth demon's aura was still there, and although it was a little distance away, it was still within its support range.
The next second, all the figures finally appeared within the perception range.
Demon King?
The Golden-Eyed Lion King laughed.
As each figure came into full view.
The Golden-Eyed Lion King laughed even harder.
Although the Heavenly Demon King suffered minor injuries, his aura remained stable.
The Dragon King still appears to have some external injuries.
Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting looked visibly nervous.
Chen Wanli was even more "miserable," his breath was "weak," and he was visibly "disheveled."
"The Heavenly Demon King is indeed valiant, accomplishing such a great feat without making a sound! He even captured our mighty Chen Shenzu?"
The Demon King's lips twitched, he lowered his head, and remained silent.
The Golden-Eyed Lion King had no doubts and his gaze fell on Chen Wanli.
He looked the young man up and down, the man who had once fought a life-or-death battle with him.
"Chen Wanli, you are luckier than I thought."
He paused, his tone becoming increasingly smug: "However, my luck has run out."
To be honest, we don't have any fatal hatred for each other. I also admire you.
The gods have no connection to you, so there's no need for you to risk your life for them, right?
"If you are willing to serve me, I can put in a good word for you with the Heavenly Demon King, and I'm sure she will grant me that request."
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
The Protoss soldiers behind them all gasped in shock.
Yes, given the current situation, why should Chen Wanli risk his life for the gods?
They are offering sacrifices to the gods!
Unbeknownst to them, the gods had already fallen into their trap.
Only Lei Jiang, with his keen observation, noticed that although everyone looked "tired and disheveled," there was no panic or fear of being captured in their eyes.
"Something's not right!" Lei Jiang stopped Lei Ze, who was about to speak.
……
The lion king raised its chin, and after a few seconds, it sensed that something was wrong.
Because the Dragon King narrowed his eyes, remained silent, and looked at his "old friend" with pity in his eyes.
The Demon King lowered his head even further, his shoulders trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to endure something.
Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting exchanged a glance and silently took half a step back.
Chen Wanli finally raised his head and looked at the arrogant Golden-Eyed Lion King.
He smiled.
The smile was faint and gentle, yet it sent a chill down the spine of the Golden-Eyed Lion King.
"Are you alone?" Chen Wanli asked softly.
Suppressing his unease, the Golden-Eyed Lion King sneered, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
"I heard you. I just wanted to confirm! But it doesn't really matter..."
Chen Wanli shook his head.
The next instant.
He moved!
Without any warning, without any prelude!
With one step, his figure vanished from the spot!
The Golden-Eyed Lion King's pupils suddenly contracted!
So fast!
He instinctively raised his hand to block, and golden light burst forth from his body, transforming into a thick golden barrier!
however!
"boom!"
A fist, without any fancy moves, slammed into the golden barrier!
The next instant, the barrier shattered like paper!
The force of the punch did not diminish, and it slammed hard into the chest of the Golden-Eyed Lion King!
"puff!"
The Golden-Eyed Lion King spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the ground a hundred feet away!
Rumble!
The ground cracked, rocks flew everywhere, and a huge crater appeared out of nowhere!
The Golden-Eyed Lion King was embedded at the bottom of the pit, its chest caved in, its face covered in blood, and its eyes filled with disbelief!
"you you......"
It struggled to get up, only to see the figure in green robes reappear at the edge of the pit.
Chen Wanli looked down at him from his high position, his gaze as calm as if he were looking at an ant.
"You just said you wanted me to work for you? Who do you think you are?"
The Golden-Eyed Lion King trembled all over, whether from shock or rage, it was hard to tell.
He finally realized something was wrong!
Chen Wanli's strength is now completely different from what it was a month ago!
That oppressive aura, that terrifying power—where was this supposed to be a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?!
This is just acting!
"You're playing me!"
"Idiot! You think I respect you?"
"The Earth Demon King! The Earth Demon King is nearby!"
The Golden-Eyed Lion King roared, its voice filled with terror!
He was hoping the Demon King would come to his rescue!
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Wanli threw another punch!
"boom!"
The Golden-Eyed Lion King's face was caved in half, blood gushed out, and his aura instantly weakened to the extreme!
"The Earth Demon King?"
Chen Wanli withdrew his fist, his tone indifferent: "Where is he?"
The Golden-Eyed Lion King was completely stunned. Instinctively, he raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction: "He... he's right there..."
Before he could finish speaking...
A hundred miles away, a demonic aura shot into the sky!
Then, at an extremely fast speed, it fled frantically into the distance!
That speed was so fast that even the afterimage couldn't be seen!
The Golden-Eyed Lion King's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat.
Earth Demon King...
Ran?
