478 Chaos in War (1/2)
Shadows flickered about.
Fang Yuan knew that today was the first time he had seen so many powerful beings come together.
The final showdown between the two sides had seen the best of the best pitting against one another. Among the Imperial Court, True Elementals and True Divines gathered and shouted as they advanced.
In such a war, normal soldiers were expendable.
Even Shi Longtu himself could only flee with embarrassment and couldn't care less about his own army.
”Rumble!”
Fists and palms were flying about, and so were spiritual spells and dream soldiers... Everyone displayed their powers beneath the wall of the Jade Capital and in no time, the already tattered wall became even more damaged.
At this stage, the forces of the Imperial Court were continuously retreating, giving up more and more land to the powerful beings to fight with each other.
The soldiers who were unable to escape from the battlefield, be it from Da Qian or from the allied forces all died a gruesome death and had no way to escape.
It was from this chaos which Fang Yuan could detect a murderous intent coming for him from somewhere.
This murderous intent was extremely strong, like the sun rays coming from a huge sun. If anyone else were to be targeted, he would have no chance of escaping alive.
”Is a True Divine trying to ambush me?”
Fang Yuan leapt up and quickly retreated. In an instant, he had already moved 35 yards backwards.
”Hmph! As a True Divine, how can you allow yourself to be the lackeys of dream masters!”
”You deserve to die!”
Two spiritual wills were heard in Fang Yuan's consciousness.
From afar, two majestic looking silhouettes appeared. They were both True Divines.
Seeing that their ambush had failed, they quickly adapted and started to strike towards Fang Yuan in quick succession.
This was similar to if a dream master were to encounter another dream master from the Hidden Dragon Guards. They would treat the latter as a traitor. Therefore, the True Divines and True Elementals of the Imperial Court would treat Fang Yuan as a traitor since he was with the allied forces.
Traitors were always more hated than normal enemies and this was the perfect representation.
The Imperial Court was the base of martial arts and spiritual spells. It was no surprise when these two True Divines had a murderous intent towards Fang Yuan whom they assume to have defected from the Imperial Court.
”The information about me in the Imperial Court should only include that I am a dream master and a talented martial artist, my cultivation as a dream master is at the 4th or 5th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage and that I have just achieved a breakthrough to become a True Divine. I am the perfect weak person for them to pick on...”
In a flash, Fang Yuan understood everything. ”These two True Divines are combining forces to deal with me to ensure that they will be victorious. Furthermore, they can use me as an excuse to avoid the stronger enemies. They are really scheming!”
However, Fang Yuan felt pleased.
Although these two True Divines were looking to use Fang Yuan to avoid the other powerful beings, they had no idea that Fang Yuan was thinking about the same thing, which was to make use of the both of them.
In such a chaotic war, the wise ones would be those who remain a low profile.
With a sidestep, Fang Yuan attempted to escape to the sidelines of the battlefield.
”Don't think of escaping! Today, the Lefty and Righty Ambassadors will take your life!”
The two True Divines hollered in unison as though they were up against their nemesis.
A True Divine would be extremely quick in his footsteps!
In a few moments, the 3 of them had already ran a few miles and had arrived at the sidelines.
”This place is scenic and is most suitable to be your place of burial!”
Fang Yuan examined the both of them with his hands behind his back. With a smile, he glared at the both of them who were already catching up.
”You're overconfident!”
These two True Divines were well trained in combat. Without resting, they immediately struck their opening moves.
”Thousand Crane Claw!”
”Tiger God Searching Palm!”
The both of them bellowed. Their martial arts were not only at the peak but could also complement each other to deliver the perfect blow.
Martial arts willpower gathered from the surroundings to form the illusionary shape of a ferocious tiger and a white crane. Together with the wind, the strikes went for Fang Yuan's weak points.
These two people were True Divines and both of them had already formed the martial artist Divine Body. However, they held back and did not reveal them. Instead, they were purely harnessing their physical strength, but it was already enough to even split mountains and oceans.
”You shall know in a moment if I am overconfident!”
Fang Yuan took in a deep breath. Similarly, he did not release his Pangu Eagle Body and only leveraged on his physical body to receive the hits. ”Eagle Claw!”
”Bang! Bang!”
He struck towards the left and the right to deflect the incoming attacks. As soon as the martial arts willpower settled into Fang Yuan's consciousness, it was destroyed in an instant. A loud gong was heard as soon as the energy of the illusionary tiger and crane landed on Fang Yuan's body.
”Metal Body Technique?!”
Lefty and Righty Ambassador were shocked. Having such a level of cultivation in this technique meant that Fang Yuan was as skilled as those highly-skilled generals in their army.
After shock came embarrassment.
Both of them were experienced True Divines and they could not even take down a junior in a single hit. Instead, both of them were being counterattacked.
How could they accept such a fact?
”Brother, let's go all out!”
Lefty Ambassador roared as his physical body started to expand in size. Energy started to flow on his back as he turned into a giant with the prints of a ferocious tiger on his skin.
”Alright!”
Beside him, another Divine Body was being formed. It was long like a crane from the heavens. With outstretched wings, it started to fly.
”So, it's the Tiger and Crane Divines!”
Fang Yuan laughed as he recognised the both of them.
”30 years ago, in the South of Da Qian, there was the Divine Dragon Sect. The Sect Head, Lord Divine Dragon was a True Elemental. He had two ambassadors under his charge and another 5 lone cultivators. All of them were True Divines. However, your sect had offended the Source Seeking Sect and Lord Divine Dragon was killed. The 5 lone cultivators had surrendered to them while the both of you were missing. I see, so you guys have turned to the Imperial Court!”
