Chapter 404 - Death of the Human Race, close to True God (1/2)

At Skyfall, smoke covered the surrounding 10,000 kilometers, the surrounding forests had been turned into a desolate area covered with holes and craters, and the mountains and rivers had been destroyed.

There were corpses everywhere, belonging to Emperor Sword Court’s disciples and to the Heavenly Palace’s soldiers.

Zhou Xuanji put away his sword; in 20 breaths of time, he had used the Ten-thousand Sword Dragon Incantation to kill millions of the Heavenly Palace’s soldiers. Even though some had escaped, they were not a threat anymore.

He turned and looked at Skyfall, his eyebrows furrowed.

He was hesitating as to whether he should go and support the human race.

However, if he left, would enemies attack Skyfall?

Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Lin Changge, and the others began to bring others to clear the battlefield.

Daoya Old Man suddenly flew over to him and said with a serious expression, “Perhaps the disaster that we divined back then was this.”

He was reminding Zhou Xuanji.

He was not afraid of dying, but he was worried about something happening to Jiang Xue and Zhou Xiaoxuan.

Zhou Xuanji’s talent was immense, but if he fell into the demonic path because of his wife and daughter dying, that would be terrifying.

Zhou Xuanji understood his intentions, but he still hesitated.

“What should I do?”

In Response to Zhou Xuanji’s question, Daoya Old Man fell into silence.

Decades ago, Zhou Xuanji had often asked him questions, but as he had risen to first in the world, he had asked fewer and fewer questions.

Daoya Old Man sighed and said, “Gather everyone and discuss together.”

Zhou Xuanji nodded.

Half a day later, all of Emperor Sword Court’s elders gathered at the pavilion at the summit.

Over the course of this battle, the Emperor Sword Court had lost nearly 100,000 disciples. Even though Zhou Xuanji had acted quickly, they had still suffered so many deaths. The gap between the strength of the two sides was simply too great.

After Zhou Xuanji spoke out his worries, everyone fell silent.

He looked at Jiang Xue.

The one he was worried the most about was her.

None of his lofty ideals and ambitions could compare to her safety.

Zhou Xiaoxuan gripped her fists and said, “Father, don’t worry about us, go and save the human race! Emperor Sword Court’s disciples all have relatives outside, and if the human race falls and only Emperor Sword Court remains, what will be the point?

“Don’t worry about us, we will take care of ourselves!”

She did not feel any sorrow and instead looked excited.

In her heart, her father was a hero who could support the heavens and earth, and it was his business to protect the human race.

Zhou Xuanji rolled his eyes at her and asked, “Can you protect your mother?”

Zhou Xiaoxuan immediately patted her chest and said proudly, “Of course I can!”

In the next moment, her smile froze.

Wait!

Protect my mother?

What about me?

Jiang Xue held Zhou Xuanji’s hand and gently smiled as she said, “Go, in the current circumstances, we need to maintain the unity of the human race. Otherwise, our situation will become even more difficult.”

The others nodded. Even though they did not want to die, they understood what had to be done.

Zhou Xuanji got up and turned into a ray of sword light, disappearing over the horizon.

Xiao Jinghong looked at everyone and said, “We need to focus on defending so that Revered Teacher won’t have to worry about us. We can’t let him be disappointed in us either.”

Chen Bantian gripped his fists and he chuckled as he said, “This is a good opportunity for the royal bloodline of the Yellow Dragon Ten Thousand Year Prince to rise up!”

Meng Tianlang glared at him and said, “With your elder here, you want to rise up?”

The others all had their own thoughts and did not say anything.

…

Zhou Xuanji relied on the power of the heavens and earth to directly soar into the territory of the human race.

Sounds of shouting, crying, killing, and cursing filled his ears.

Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes, and he saw that the cities ahead were filled with the flames of war. There were people fighting everywhere.

Precisely speaking, it was the Heavenly Palace slaughtering the people of the Northern Wilderness.

He directly took out all of his legendary swords and began to turn the battle around.

He did not look back and flew towards the depths of the human race.

Ten breaths of time later, his legendary swords returned to his side.
