Thunder Fire Plains.

This was a converging point between Daluo Territory and the southwest arena of the Hundred Battle Territory. With the two behemoth forces starting the war, the flames of war pervaded this vast plain.

Troops from both sides fought and clashed, sneak-attacked, and annihilated, and the fierce battle resulted in violent spiritual energy fluctuations that enveloped the world.

The earth seemed to quiver as the war raged on.

Those who did not belong to either side avoided these war-torn arenas to prevent themselves from being caught in a brutal war that was akin to a meat grinder, as that would clearly bring about devastating consequences.

Within the Thunder Fire Plains, a dilapidated city stood as violent waves of spiritual energy fluctuations swept through it. It was apparent that two forces were vying for possession of the city.

One troop was apparently from Daluo Territory, and the other, from the Hundred Battle Territory. Such battles of conquest were common in the Thunder Fire Plains at this time.

At present, the competition for this city intensified. This city was called the Earth Fire City, which was an important city in the Hundred Battle Territory, thus it had heavy defenses. Previously, there had been several forces from the Daluo Territory who tried to capture the city, but they suffered utter defeat.

However, the forces that set their eyes upon the Earth Fire City were from Daluo Territory’s Lion Tiger Mountains. They enjoyed a certain reputation, thus the battle was at a stalemate between both parties.

At this time, there were hundreds of figures standing in the air atop the city gate. Their expressions were solemn as they looked at the interior areas of the city where spiritual energy fluctuations constantly spread.

At the forefront of these men was a burly, middle-aged man. He knitted his eyebrows and frowned at the city where the defense was unexpectedly strong.

Whoosh!

As he gazed at the city center, a dozen or so shadows swooped in and finally landed in front of them. The leader was a burly man of equal stature. He was no stranger. It was Fang Lei, whom they had met some time earlier in the Battle over the Daluo Golden Pool.

Fang Lei glanced at the middle-aged man and stated gravely, “Uncle Liu, there are two Third Grade Sovereigns hidden within this Earth Fire City!”

“No wonder it was so difficult to conquer it!” The middle-aged man had a somber expression. He was the leader of Lion Tiger Mountain and had the ability of a Third Grade Sovereign. If the other party had only one Third Grade Sovereign, they would still have the upper hand in terms of quantity, but if there were two, they would pay a hefty price.

“Uncle Liu, what do we do?” Fang Lei asked, as he was clear that the other party was more powerful, and if it weren’t for the attacks from other troops before, they would have appeared to clash head-on with them.

The middle-aged man’s gaze flickered before he gnashed his teeth and made a prompt decision. “Retreat! We’ll find another target!”

Fang Lei and the other strong men of Lion Tiger Mountain were surprised, but could only nod unwillingly because they understood that if they were to attack forcibly, they would pay a heavy price.

“Go!”

With a wave of his hand, the middle-aged man retreated as the other strong men of Lion Tiger Mountain followed suit.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, just as they were about to retreat, silhouettes surged out from within the city, and the two leading figures emanated incredibly powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

“Haha, since you are already here, don’t leave!”

The two figures cackled maniacally before two streams of raging spiritual energy swept out and charged towards the retreating members of Lion Tiger Mountain.

Upon seeing this, the leader of Lion Tiger Mountain flinched as he hurriedly clashed with the two streams of spiritual energy.

Boom!

The spiritual energy fluctuations burst out, and the leader of Lion Tiger Mountain emitted a low hum as he was pushed a few hundred yards back. He was, after all, only a Third Grade Sovereign, and with the other party fighting him two versus one, he was naturally no match for them.

After being shaken by the attacks, the leader of Lion Tiger Mountain did not dare to remain and shouted hurriedly, “Leave now!” These guys had been feigning weakness all along and had recovered long ago.

“It’s too late to leave now!”

Facing the hasty retreat of Lion Tiger Mountain’s men, the strong men of the Earth Fire City put up a fierce pursuit under the leadership of the two Third Grade Sovereigns.

“D*mn it!” Upon seeing the persistent pursuit, Fang Lei cursed in fury.

“Let’s see where you can escape!”

A silhouette swiftly surged forward as a Third Grade Sovereign appeared before Fang Lei and the rest. With a blow of his palm, a Spiritual Energy Giant Palm enveloped them, casting a looming shadow.
