As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1508 - 403: Reborn as Brothers in Fengdu City, My Loyal Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect Betrayed Me
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
"This Li Half-Saint is truly a remarkable individual... He possesses immense faith in the Underworld, convinced that their forces can steadily grind us down until we are forced to play our ultimate card."
Xie Yushen spoke with a heavy, resonant voice.
Ning An, his body slick with perspiration, gripped his long blade tightly. "But State Preceptor... given the current state of affairs, his assessment seems accurate!"
"Two of our Divine Sect Masters have already fallen, and the remaining trio are barely clinging on..."
Xie Yushen simply shook his head in response.
His gaze shifted toward the waters of the Grand Canal.
"Dragon God Crown Prince, it is time for you to act."
"The Grand Prospect Dynasty shall acknowledge and remember the vital support provided by your Dragon God Clan," Xie Yushen declared.
The moment his voice faded,
Massive, elongated dragon silhouettes suddenly surged from beneath the Grand Canal, causing pillars of water to explode toward the heavens.
This spectacle immediately captured Fang Hanshu’s attention.
"The Dragon God Clan?"
Indeed, as the torrents of water crashed back down with a thunderous splash,
A figure emerged draped in opulent robes. Dragon horns adorned his head, and his eyes glowed with a violet brilliance, while his formidable qi-blood roared with vibrating intensity!
"Dragon God Crown Prince, Ao Fa!"
Fang Hanshu narrowed his eyes at the sight.
The figure's purple hair danced in the wind, and beneath his neckline, dragon scales shimmered. This was the First Dragon Son of the Dragon God Clan, Ao Fa, who held the ninth rank at Heavenly Gate Pass and possessed the might of a Titled Dragon King!
His title was the Dragon God Crown Prince!
"So even you have arrived... it appears the Dragon God Clan has placed all its wagers on the Imperial Court."
"Allow me to speculate: your Dragon God Clan is exerting such effort to aid Ji Moli and the Grand Prospect Dynasty because your kin desires to migrate to the land?" Fang Hanshu asked.
The Dragon God Crown Prince tightened his grip, and a trident manifested in his palm. He let out a sigh. "Indeed, we wish to come ashore... Within the modern oceans, Mysterious Temples are appearing with increasing frequency, and more Demon Emperors are rising from the Strange Que. My Dragon God Clan... can no longer hold our ground."
Fang Hanshu sneered. "Is your Dragon God Clan... not also a branch of the Demon Race?"
"Rather than living in harmony with the Demon Race, you choose to battle the Human Race for territory?"
"Do you covet Qian Yuan, intending to turn it into the future nesting grounds for your Dragon God Clan?"
The Dragon God Crown Prince offered no further explanation, merely shaking his head as his intentions remained clear.
Holding his trident in one hand, he slowly lifted the other. Instantly, a Dragon Ball radiating overwhelming Dragon Power appeared.
Within that sphere, a terrifying Demon Energy was coiled!
"The Dragon Emperor Pearl?!"
Fang Hanshu’s pupils contracted.
He watched as the Dragon God Crown Prince consumed the Dragon Emperor Pearl. His aura surged violently, and malevolent Demon Energy erupted toward the sky. With a single stride, he closed the distance to Fang Hanshu.
As the trident swung, the fabric of space itself seemed to rip open!
Empowered by the Dragon Emperor Pearl, the Dragon God Crown Prince had ascended to the strength of a half-step Demon Emperor!
Boom—!!!
The Vast River boiled, sending waves surging a thousand feet into the air!
Simultaneously, three other Dragon Sons from the Dragon God Clan took to the skies. Their three dragon silhouettes intertwined, releasing a suffocating pressure.
Fang Hanshu found the display strangely familiar; it mirrored the coordination techniques used by the Dajing Four Symbols Profound Guard!
Fang Hanshu’s expression grew dark.
Such preparation!
To neutralize the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, Xie Yushen had organized an incredible array of hidden assets!
He had mobilized four entities possessing the strength of a half-step Divine Tribulation or half-step Martial God!
That was without even considering any hidden Divine Tribulation Cultivators.
Fang Hanshu was absolutely certain that Xie Yushen had prepared Great Cultivators of the Divine Tribulation Realm as well!
Boom—!!!
"All of you, face me!"
Fang Hanshu’s scholar’s robes billowed, and a flash of scholarly ferocity ignited in his eyes!
He moved to block the half-step Dragon God shadows conjured by the Crown Prince and the three Dragon Sons!
...
...
A sudden commotion broke out.
Whether within Qianyuan Dao City or upon the Imperial Court’s warships lining the Grand Canal,
The faces of everyone present turned incredibly pale!
Inside Qianyuan Dao City, experts like Zhao Fangzhou and Feng Zhiqi looked on with extreme tension.
They had believed they held the upper hand after repelling the Imperial Court’s initial assault.
Yet, the Imperial Court had suddenly revealed two more combatants at the half-step Martial God level!
How could they possibly resist?
If the conflict persisted, the Imperial Court's additional half-step Martial God strength would eventually overwhelm them; even the Great Elder might fail to stop them.
A prolonged defense would inevitably expose a fatal weakness!
However.
Just as everyone’s nerves were stretched to the breaking point, focused on the clash between Fang Hanshu and the Dragon God shadows,
Suddenly.
A roar echoed through the air as if the very vault of heaven were being shredded!
A thunderous blast followed, sounding like a razor-sharp blade cutting through the sky!
The roar was saturated with profound shock and utter disbelief!
The sound left everyone's ears ringing and their minds spinning, as if their very blood were flowing in reverse.
Feng Zhiqi, Zhao Fangzhou, Hong Shifu, and the others looked upward, their eyes fixed on the battlefield where the four half-step Divine Tribulation experts were locked in combat!
In an instant...
They were struck dumb!
Meanwhile, on the Mystic Iron Spirit Wood Warship,
Xie Yushen fanned himself lightly, a calm breeze brushing his face. He was certain that if the battle continued, the Imperial Court would emerge victorious!
Even though Ning Caisen, Gu Cheng, and Zhao Chunqiu were flagging and injured,
The mysterious figures from the Underworld had gained their advantage by detonating Divine Seeds—a suicidal tactic.
The three were merely enduring the storm and stalling for time.
Such a method of self-destruction could not be maintained indefinitely.
Once the divinity and qi-blood from the Divine Seed explosions were spent, the three Divine Sect Masters would launch their counter-offensive.
However...
A scream of pure rage pierced the dark clouds, scattering the mists!
The falling snow in the sky evaporated almost instantly!
Xie Yushen’s eyes flickered with a sudden tremor.
A wave of dread washed over his heart!
He whipped his head toward the source of the cry.
That roar...
It belonged to the King of Quelling Chaos, Ji Molie!
"Impossible!!!"
Yet,
Upon seeing the reality of the situation,
The normally unflappable and calculating Xie Yushen lost his composure for the first time. His face twisted into a mask of fury, his eyes becoming bloodshot!
Because...
The Two Elders, Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect...
As they looked on,
The sky appeared to be shattering, with chaotic energy swirling and raging without end!
Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect were supposed to be fighting alongside Ji Molie, absorbing the brunt of the pressure to hold off the terrifying attacks of Lv Taibai and the Underworld Yama.
Yet...
While the Two Elders were positioned against Ji Molie, Yama, and Lv Taibai,
That shimmering, half-step Martial God shadow suddenly turned solid.
They released an explosion of horrifying qi-blood. Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect chose that moment to simultaneously detonate every Qimen Divine Seed within their bodies!
This caused the half-step Martial God shadow to become even more physical and significantly more powerful!
Then.
The Demon Image’s Hoof swung out with brutal force, and the Martial God’s Pupil unleashed a lethal, penetrating ray of light with a single look!
The full might of a half-step Martial God was unleashed!
It crashed ruthlessly into Ji Molie’s form!
Xie Yushen staggered, feeling as though he had been run through the chest, as if the heavens themselves were falling.
Curse it!
His loyal...
Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect!
They had betrayed him!
