Chapter 568 Disappointmen (1/2)

After having seen Shen Lian dodge the fist, Emperor Xia retracted his Primordial Spirit and returned to normal size. A coldness flashed through his eyes, and his flesh and body pierced through the air. He chased after Shen Lian and left behind only a stream of air.

When Shen Lian dodged Emperor Xia's attack, the latter could feel that the former's divine Qi had gaps that could be taken advantage of. With his discerning eye, he would surely not miss such an opportunity that comes only once in a blue moon.

In the end, Shen Lian's state of Primordial Spirit, as well as the light travel speed, was more nimble and quick as compared to when he initially performed it with his mortal body. If Emperor Xia did not firmly lock his spiritual senses, Shen Lian might not catch up with him even if the duration of the technique used by the emperor was less than ten minutes.

In the horizon, Emperor Xia produced endless sounds of explosions. The clouds that spanned thousands of miles were scattered, and for a short time the clouds did not raise.

At this moment in the Xia Camp, Guan Longzi continued to spit out blood. Lei Jing who left before all this happened, returned. Only after she fed him three elixirs did his condition improve.

Lei Jing faintly asked, ”Why did you engage in a fight with teacher?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Guan Longzi distressingly replied, ”Jing, throughout my life I have not done anything wrong. This is probably the first.”

Lei Jing asked again, ”Why? Tell me why?”

Lei Jing was absolutely baffled. If Guan Longzi had intended to make an enemy out of Shen Lian, Diqiu City was the best place to do it. So why not then?

Guan Longzi profoundly sighed. His expression appeared to suggest that he aching inside. He replied to Lei Jing, ”At the spur of the moment, I was arrogant. I thought that the Lamp of Life and Death and the Emperor are enough of a match for him. I did not expect that he would have all those spiritual items. This time, if your teacher can slip away from the grasp of the Emperor and defeat the allied forces of Dongyi, providing Xia Kingdom with unmatched power over the world, it would still be a wasted effort. I, Guan Longzi, would still be a wrongdoer of Xia.”

It would not be possible for Emperor Xia to maintain a lifelong state and wipe out Yunyang's allied forces in a single strike. Even his trump card – the Lamp of Life and Death – was accurately anticipated by the profound attainment of Guan Longzi, in that it was truly of strong effect with regards to all the nations.

After all, whoever that had the audacity to oppose Xia would have to weigh in the possibilities of whether they were superior to the allied forces of the Son of the White Emperor. The opposition would have to think clearly as to whether it was possible for a demon lord to help them, let alone the fact that such a tremendous force had been annihilated by the Emperor. A brief look at the rest of the world, even Yinshang, and it was clear that there might not even be anyone else that dared to go against him.

It was because Emperor Xia wanted to gain this deterrent force, that he took himself to the field. No doubt he wanted to attack Dongyi, with an attitude that suggested he would not leave any stone unturned.

But that night, the deterrence brought by conquering Dongyi might vanish. Shen Lian managed to escape from the current situation of Guan Longzi and Emperor Xia's cooperation and even managed to destroy the Lamp of Life and Death. Moreover, he seriously injured Guan Longzi. In addition to all that, Shen Lian held the position of Xia's State Preceptor. This battle could not by any means be trivial to Xia.

More importantly, Guan Longzi profoundly understood that after that night, it would no longer be foolish talk to say that the nation Shen Lian would establish may rival that of Xia Kingdom and Yinshang. In fact, there was a dependable basis upon which that statement may be grounded. The upcoming seizing of power would result in either a sturdy foundation or the gaining of a great reputation. Either way, it would contribute to the gathering of talents and the accumulating of power.
