After Fang Xingjian glanced at them, Prince Zuoxian, the Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch, and the Sacred Fire Order’s female Saint seemed to be completely aghast.

Fang Xingjian’s series of attacks had been far too brutal, and the martial will he sent pressing toward them now was also extremely terrifying. The three of them had the delusion that the entire world was pressing down on them and rejecting them.

“How is this possible? Although Fang Xingjian was powerful back in Buluo City, he wasn’t this amazing. How could he possibly have gotten this strong suddenly?” Prince Zuoxian’s entire body and conjured physique kept jolting under Fang Xingjian’s massive martial will. He could not believe what he was seeing.

The Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch felt extremely regretful. If he were to hide in the Sand Country’s capital, there would at least be many faithful believers who could aid his regeneration. However, he was currently above the Imperial Capital. He would really die here if Fang Xingjian were to kill him.

Beside the Patriarch, the Sacred Fire Order’s female Saint was also in complete shock. She laughed bitterly. ‘We thought that victory was at hand and that with 14 Divine level experts joining forces, we would be able to defeat the Empire and crush Fang Xingjian.

‘Who would have expected that when the battle actually commenced, we couldn’t even hold up against him for a single round.’

Thinking of how they had spoken boastfully, the eyes of the Sacred Fire Order’s female Saint emitted a hint of embarrassment and regret.

In the sky over ten kilometers away from the Imperial Capital, the Black Mage King wore long robes and stepped on void space as if he was the sovereign of the dark night. His eyes emitted an endlessly dark aura like passing through an endless stretch of darkness, while he watched the battle situation in the Imperial Capital.

Right now, he did not appear to be injured in the least.

Beside him, the Gold Mage King said calmly, “You pretended to be seriously injured and fled from the scene this time around. If the Imperial Preceptor finds out about this, it’s likely he won’t let you off easily.”

“Haha, I wasn’t pretending. I really was injured,” the Black Mage King said. “Moreover, in addition to me being besieged by so many Divine level experts, they also set up a formation and used poison. There was also a Heavenly Lion King waiting to launch an assault on me.

“If I continued to hold on forcibly, I would have lost a layer of my skin even if I didn’t die.”

Of course, on one side, the Black Mage King did not wish to fight to the death with so many Divine level experts. Even if he could kill them, he would also be seriously injured. Moreover, he had the faint feeling that the Heavenly Lion King was not a simple character.

Another reason was that the Black Mage King wanted to make use of this opportunity to see Fang Xingjian’s capabilities.

Moreover, he knew that the opposing side’s target was Fang Xingjian. Even if they were to attack, they would not annihilate the entire city. Instead, they would just chase Fang Xingjian relentlessly.

Of course, the Black Mage King had also brought away Prince Philip and his family to prevent them from getting harmed by those experts from the plains.

The results turned out as he had expected. They did not give any heed to Buluo City’s commoners and directly chased him to the Imperial Capital.

Hearing the Black Mage King’s reply, the Gold Mage King shook his head but still continued looking at the Imperial Capital. His eyes revealed an extremely deep gaze.

“What do you think?” The Gold Mage King asked.

“What do I think?” The Black Mage King’s gaze turned solemn, and he fell silent for a very long while before saying slowly, “Deep and unfathomable.”

“If it’s him, he might really be able to do that thing which no one has ever been able to do before.”

In the sky above the Imperial Capital, Prince Zuoxian felt the pressure from Fang Xingjian’s will and started to panic. He shouted loudly, “Fang Xingjian, you win this time. As long as you’re willing to stop here, I’ll lead the rest of the people and leave. From today onward, our Steel Lion Kingdom won’t take another step across the borders and will be willing to maintain a friendly relationship forever.”

The Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch also quickly said, “Fang Xingjian, if you stop the battle, the hundred tribes from our Sand Country will be willing to be on friendly terms with the Empire for 100 years. We’ll swear not to invade even an inch of the Empire’s territories.”
