Chapter Eight Hundred and Eighty Seven – Facing Off

A golden square box floated silently in the flames and was covered in countless exquisite patterns.

The flames disappeared and the gold box flew into Zuo Mo’s hand. The box was exactly the size of Zuo Mo’s palm. A warmth came from the square box. Zuo Mo felt connected to the box and this made him smile.

“Starting from today, you will be called [King’s Domain]!”

This was the shen equipment Zuo Mo was most satisfied with. Ever since he obtained that shen device nucleus, he had thought about how to forge a shen equipment for himself. At present he could be called the top forger but he didn’t have his own shen device, an odd juxtaposition. Normal talismans would immediately collapse in his hands, like the gold crystal sword.

An Mo and Liang Wei were panicking like ants set on a fire. They could not understand why King was still forging at such an important time. That dark gold box looked ordinary and had no presence.

“King!” An Mo said urgently.

Zuo Mo nodded towards him and flew onto the Copper-Boned Nether Bird King. “We can talk as we travel.”

An Mo was even more panicked. “King! Hai Xin Bing has gathered a great army of over three hundred thousand! If we go now, that will only be death … …”

“Are you afraid of death?” Zuo Mo asked bluntly.

An Mo stilled. He hadn’t thought that King would ask this. He answered seriously, “This subordinate is not afraid of death, but of a death without meaning.”

“Yes.” Zuo Mo nodded. Under the bronze mask, no expression could be seen. He said coolly, “Depart.”

“King!” An Mo panicked.

“King, the Yin Tomb Guards and Nether Lord You Zhe’s battalion is hurrying over. How about waiting for them … …” Liang Wei said.

“We won’t wait. I have limited time,” Zuo Mo said coolly and then flew into the sky.

An Mo and Liang Wei stared at each other. They couldn’t understand what was going on with King! If they went now, they would die without a doubt! Three hundred thousand! They didn’t believe that King would not be able to understand this. But King still insisted on doing so. Did King have some trump card?

They had discussed this before but no matter how hard they thought, they could not think of any way to defeat an army of three hundred thousand!

An Mo gritted his teeth. “At worst, we will die together with King!”

He got onto his mo steed after he spoke and then chased after Zuo Mo.

“It is so curious,” Liang Wei murmured. He was almost sure now that King definitely had other plans. But he could not guess. What were King’s other plans?

The King’s Horn immediately moved as well.

Along the way, they did not encounter any more obstacles. The path was unusually smooth.

Hai Xin Bing had realised the mistake of her previous strategy. Her delay tactic had created the new king’s legendary advance, and pushed the new king’s reputation to an astounding height.

Without any obstacles, Zuo Mo’s group moved quickly.

There were scouts set up along the road. The mission of these scouts was to keep track of the new king’s troops. These scouts were not all Hai Xin Bing’s subordinates. All of Nether Realm was paying close attention to this final battle.

When Zuo Mo once again led his troops to advance like before, countless factions were shocked. Even an ignorant person knew Hai Xin Bing had set up a great net up ahead. An army of three hundred thousand, that was almost half of Nether Realm’s elite battalions.

This was a power that made people tremble.

No one could win!

Using force against force was the stupidest choice. In many people’s opinions, the new king should step back, avoid Hai Xin Bing’s forces and go around them. Such a large army was all the power that Hai Xin Bing had gathered for many years but it could not be maintained for long. The new king had the support of the old nether King. Now that he showed the people of Nether Realm his power and strength, his situation was much better than Hai Xin Bing.

The new king only needed to avoid Hai Xin Bing, delay for a while, and Hai Xin Bing’s army of three hundred thousand would quickly collapse.

That was the strategic method.

But the new king rashly advanced towards Nether King River like a moth to a flame!

Almost everyone saw his predicted outcome. Even more people felt that the new king was a brute with courage but no skill!

The new king would die!

Sorrow spread among the people. After the victorious seven day advance, they had thought that the new king would be like the old Nether King and be an unrivaled hero. But now, they thought he was only a brute. If the new king died, Hai Xin Bing did not qualify to become king, and the Nether Realm would once again become leaderless.

This was the greatest sorrow.

For ten years, they had lived a peaceful life. No battle, their lives were calm, Nether Realm was united. The direction the King’s banner pointed was the direction they advanced in.

Look at Hundred Savage realm. That place was so chaotic and filled with endless battle. The major factions warred with each other, and people died every day.

Low spirits and bewilderment spread in Nether Realm.

Was an era truly about to end?

Was ten years of peace all they would have?.

“He’s charging towards here?” Hai Xin Bing stilled and asked instinctively, “Did the Yin Tomb Guards and You Zhe already arrive?”

“No!” Zhu nan Yue’s eyes flashed with puzzlement.

“Strange!” Hai Xin Bing pondered this. “He doesn’t appear like a person without brains!”

Zhu Nan Yue didn’t speak but she agreed.

How could a person that forced them to such a state, and had grabbed the only chance to resolve the situation when he was surrounded by enemies be a person without brains? It was the opposite. Zhu Nan Yue saw decisiveness, intelligence, bravery and hardiness from that person.

She had followed Hai Xin Bing from childhood and they were like sisters. This bond was the only reason she was willing to be enemies with such a person.

The other definitely had other plans!

“He has to have other plans!” Hai Xin Bing felt uneasy, like an invisible pressure weighing on her mind. She could not understand the enemy’s actions at all.
