Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 340 - 336: Fierce Battle with the Eastern Clan Leader

Chapter 340: Chapter 336: Fierce Battle with the Eastern Clan Leader

Xia Tianming had mostly adjusted his mindset upon entering the Void.

Although he was still worried at heart, he knew this was his chance.

If he didn’t deal with Dongfang Changming here, he would have an inner demon on his cultivation path, making it easy for others to exploit.

He patted Xia Feng on the shoulder and said with pursed lips, "Thank you."

Xia Feng looked helpless: "Why be so formal with me, Grandpa?"

"This is all a disaster from nowhere. We just want to return to our original state."

"Our Great Xia is invincible and unconquerable, crushing all who stand against us with our sword edge!"

Xia Tianming burst into laughter, his hand on Xia Feng’s shoulder grew a bit heavier.

"The Great Xia War God truly deserves the title. Today, I’ll take the lead again and charge into battle with you!"

After speaking, the two men tensely observed the surrounding Void, quietly lying in ambush.

Charon ran to inform Dongfang Changming but was deeply conflicted.

He roughly knew that if Xia Tianming didn’t give in, he would be killed, but even if he did give in, he might still be killed.

During this time, he had guarded the prison and knew how resolute Xia Tianming was. Despite the painful torture, he never gave in.

This time, he must have had a plan to say such things, right?

With a heavy heart, he stood outside the hall and conveyed, "Clan Leader, I have something to report."

Dongfang Changming was still scheming about when he could get the Ancient Divine Artifact from Xia Feng, and how he could cultivate with it at that time.

In about a hundred years or so, he might be able to sense the opportunity for a breakthrough.

Just as he was thinking happily, Charon’s voice came from outside, interrupting Dongfang Changming’s fantasy.

He spoke with a hint of irritability, "Come in."

Charon entered with his head down, looking timid and cautious.

He was not a member of the Dongfang Clan, just an outsider, who over the years had not had a chance to rise despite all his hard work.

Now that he had guessed what Xia Tianming was planning, he had no intention of ratting him out, but instead, spoke with a timid face.

"Clan Leader, the one in the prison said he wants you to go over; he’s thought it through."

Dongfang Changming first thought about it, then suddenly realized who Charon was referring to.

His face suddenly showed a bit of joy, and he didn’t even consider whether Charon might be lying to him.

He laughed arrogantly, "I knew this tough nut would have a day when he softened."

"The words I said to him before must have worked. It’s about to be fifteen days; if he still didn’t soften, I really wouldn’t dare to kill him just like that."

Dongfang Changming turned to look at Charon, who had come to report, and raised an eyebrow to ask, "What were his exact words?"

Charon recalled for a moment and stammered, "Just asked me to tell you he has a way to make his grandson voluntarily hand over the Ancient Divine Artifact, and that you should go find him."

That’s basically the gist of it. Now if you really asked Charon to recall what Dongfang Changming said at the time, all he could remember was Dongfang Changming mouthing for him to hurry up.

Dongfang Changming thought Charon was somewhat dull, so he simply decided to check out the situation himself.

Charon followed Dongfang Changming with his head down, but he wasn’t as fast, and in almost the blink of an eye, Dongfang Changming’s figure disappeared.

Charon glanced in the direction of the prison with an enigmatic expression, his movements unconsciously became slower.

When Dongfang Changming charged into the dungeon excitedly, there was no sound at all.

The two new guards who liked to chirp and boast were unusually silent, which made Dongfang Changming feel a bit uneasy.

He secretly crushed a Communication Token, then cautiously walked toward the dungeon.

In the Void, Xia Tianming couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh as he watched his small actions.

To say Dongfang Changming was foolish, he knew it wasn’t safe enough and needed more people.

To say he was smart, he hadn’t considered how dangerous Xia Tianming and Xia Feng currently were.

But on second thought, even though Xia Tianming was advancing remarkably fast, he hadn’t broken through to the Profound Tier yet as a Martial God.

Dongfang Changming had just called ten Profound Tier Fifth Layer Martial Gods with the Communication Token.

Plus, he himself was a Profound Tier Ninth Layer Martial God, so no matter what disturbance Xia Tianming caused, even if he broke out of prison, Dongfang Changming had nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Changming’s expression eased up a lot, and he spoke with a cold smirk, "I thought you had grown smarter but turns out you’re still a fool."

As he spoke, he opened the dungeon door, revealing only two guards’ corpses, with no sign of Xia Tianming.

Dongfang Changming’s breath caught, instinctively wanting to step forward a couple of steps to check the cause of the guards’ deaths, when a wave of energy surged from behind.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he turned to see two figures.

"Oh? So you’ve brought help?"

Dongfang Changming scanned Xia Feng up and down with a disdainful look, then sneered.

"Is this the grandson you so desperately protect with your life?"

"Doesn’t look like much now."

After saying this, he swung his hand and summoned his Ordinary Divine Artifact—a single knife pointed at Xia Feng.

"Kid, I advise you to be sensible. If you surrender now and hand over the Ancient Divine Artifact, I can give you a quick death."

As he spoke, he swung his knife at Xia Feng.

The Great Dao Dongfang Changming mastered seemed to be the Earth Dao; every swing of his knife appeared particularly heavy.

After feeling it twice, Xia Feng lost interest; he gripped the air with his palm, and the Heaven-Burying Sword was drawn seemingly from thin air, slashing fiercely at Dongfang Changming.

The clash of sword and knife produced a crisp sound; Xia Feng retreated half a step, while Dongfang Changming, with his higher cultivation, stepped back three full paces.

Those three footprints were particularly deep, as if he was using the ground to disperse force.

His greedy eyes fell upon Xia Feng. In this attack, he confirmed two things.

Firstly, the sword in Xia Feng’s hand was also an Ancient Divine Artifact.

Secondly, this kid surprisingly had the Realm of a Profound Tier Fifth Layer Martial God.

There must have been some secret in the Lower Realm, probably an ancient site left by a Great Power that this grandfather and grandson discovered.

Otherwise, with Dongfang Changming’s foolish mind, he couldn’t conceive of any method that could allow one’s cultivation to progress so swiftly.

Even the prodigies like them, who bathed in Divine Power in the Divine Domain every day, didn’t have such rapid cultivation speed.

"Kid, I underestimated you, but your grandfather and grandson’s luck ends here."

"Heh heh heh, you better surrender soon, or next year at this time will be the anniversary of your deaths!"
