Chapter 568: Chapters 291-292 Blood Seal (Combined Two in One Chapter Monthly Ticket and Bestseller Additional)

Six Great Demons! Although two of them had been severely injured and their strength hadn’t recovered much, they were still beings comparable to high-order Demon Evils. Beyond that, there was also Emperor Zhou, whose strength was unknown.

Shen Changqing felt a deep apprehension regarding Mu Shentong. From the strength Gu Xuanji has displayed, I know the Emperors of various countries aren’t simple. Within this current Domain, that Emperor Zhou’s strength must be at least on the level of a Great Demon. Looking at our side, not counting Gu Xuanji, we only have four experts comparable to Great Demons. Including Gu Xuanji, that’s merely five. Even though we have an army of millions... However, the Dead Corpses had revived. Great Zhou has already become a land of Guiyu. I can’t imagine how many Dead Corpses exist within Great Zhou’s territory. In the face of the Dead Corpses, Great Qin’s armies are nothing.

He then turned his gaze to Gu Xuanji. Just as he anticipated, Great Zhou indeed has problems. Having presided over Great Qin for a hundred years, I don’t believe he hasn’t made any preparations. Now, it’s time to see how this Emperor Qin will respond. In any case, if it comes to fleeing, I’m confident no Domain can hold me, but it’s hard to say for the others.

Watching the Dead Corpses close in step by step, alongside the appearance of the Great Demons, Gu Xuanji’s expression remained indifferent.

""Ran An, Pei Feng, Dongfang Zhao, hold the rear! Azure Dragon Army and Fire Qilin Army, open the path ahead! Retreat from Great Zhou immediately!""

As his words fell, the army mobilized. The Azure Dragon Army and Fire Qilin Army forged ahead to clear the path, with the other forces following closely. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Simultaneously, Ran An and the others stepped forward, directly intercepting the numerous Great Demons.

Truth be told, given the chance, Ran An and Pei Feng would not have wished to stay behind as the rearguard. But there was no other way. In the current situation, if no powerful individuals stayed to cover the retreat, everyone would perish. Although they were only the Defender Envoys of Great Liang and Dayue, not under the direct command of Great Qin, at this critical juncture, Great Qin was still part of the Human Clan. They couldn’t bring themselves to abandon everyone and flee first. Moreover, even if they wanted to flee, those Great Demons wouldn’t simply let them leave. Since that was the case, they might as well stay.

Shen Changqing watched for a while, then said gravely, "I’ll stay behind as well!"

"Is Defender Shen sure?" Gu Xuanji frowned. He hadn’t asked Shen Changqing to stay as rearguard precisely so Shen Changqing could retreat safely. The problem with Great Zhou is far more severe than I imagined. This so-called blood seal... it’s clearly formed by absorbing the power of Essence Blood. The stronger the being, the more Essence Blood power it can provide. That’s why Mu Shentong allowed us to attack Great Zhou. His goal isn’t just the millions of Great Qin troops, but also the various powerhouses accompanying our army. Now that the Domain is established, I’m not entirely certain I can escape unscathed. If I were to stay and cover the retreat, the chances of leaving would be even slimmer.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I do not act without assurance. If it truly comes to it, no Domain can hold me back," Shen Changqing said with a confident smile.

Hearing this, Gu Xuanji looked at him deeply, then nodded. If he’s decided to stay, then let him stay.

At this moment, the army began its retreat. Numerous Dead Corpses surged out from the Capital City, on the verge of pursuing the army’s rear.

Gu Xuanji took a step forward. Golden True Qi erupted from his body, and as he pressed out a palm, the Golden Palm Gang, like a True Dragon coiling, directly suppressed the Dead Corpses ahead.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

True Qi swept across, eradicating all the Dead Corpses it touched. With just one palm, hundreds to thousands of Dead Corpses were wiped clean.

But—

Compared to the unceasing flood of Dead Corpses emerging from the Capital City, those eradicated were merely a tiny fraction.

The instant Gu Xuanji made his move, the others also acted in unison. Shen Changqing’s long saber left its sheath at his waist, and with a Sky Strike sweeping horizontally, the tangible Blade Gang instantly cleared a large area of Dead Corpses.

As everyone made their moves, the Dead Corpses that had burst out of the Capital City were cleared in large numbers for a short time, buying the army precious moments to retreat.

Gu Xuanji rose into the sky. Golden True Qi swirled continuously around him, making him appear like an Immortal God descending to the mortal realm. He rose directly into the air, positioning himself level with Mu Shentong.

His majestic gaze fell upon the person before him.

"Mu Shentong, you have willingly degenerated. Today, I shall execute you here to console the spirits of the Great Zhou Human Tribe in heaven!"

"Can you do it?" Mu Shentong laughed, the scarlet in his pupils growing even more intense.

The next moment, he disappeared from atop the city wall. As if Gu Xuanji had anticipated it, he turned and threw a punch. Almost simultaneously, Mu Shentong reappeared in that exact spot.

BOOM—

The two fists collided. Space shattered, and shockwaves swept out in all directions.

At the same time, Ran An and Pei Feng focused on three Great Demons. Ran An’s opponents were the two Great Demons that had been injured at Zhou Pass, while Pei Feng faced his old adversary.

This still left three Great Demons unengaged.

Shen Changqing turned his head to look at Dongfang Zhao, smiling faintly. "Defender Dongfang, can you handle two at once?"

"I can try," Dongfang Zhao replied calmly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Upon hearing that, Shen Changqing disappeared from his original spot.

「On the city wall.」

The Star King’s mind jolted, and he instinctively retreated. The moment he moved, the void before him silently cracked, and a fist appeared directly in his line of sight. He raised his hand. The two forces collided.
