Liu Cangdong was right; Ning Chuan didn't want to trade his life for Xi Fengrou's.
But they won't let her go.
Ning Chuan was very clear about this.
Once he lost control of Xi Fengrou's life, he would no longer have the power to restrain Liu Cangdong.
At that time, Liu Cangdong will be the butcher, and he will be the fish on the chopping block.
Their lives were entirely in Liu Cangdong's hands.
Even in the best-case scenario, he would be imprisoned by the Holy Heaven Alliance, stripped of his cultivation, and reduced to a cripple.
Liu Cangdong believed that Ning Chuan wouldn't dare gamble with his life!
But Ning Chuan wanted more than just to live!
boom!
Force surged, and golden light rose around Ning Chuan once more, making him resemble Blazing Heavenly Sun, incomparably radiant.
He raised his hand and grabbed Xi Fengrou by the back of her neck, holding her horizontally in front of him.
As long as Liu Cangdong doesn't want Xi Fengrou to die, he will be hesitant to attack him, allowing Liu to buy more time.
You should leave first.
Ning Chuan stared at the suspended Heaven-Overturning Seal, ready for battle, and said to Liu Wan beside him, "This is my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wan gritted her teeth, unsure whether to stay or leave.
Based on the previous conversations among the group, it can be basically confirmed that Ning Chuan did not steal the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit; he was Xi Fengrou.
Liu Cangdong's attack on Ning Chuan is completely unreasonable!
As the Federation's Heavenly King, she absolutely cannot ignore such behavior.
However, Liu Cangdong is located in the Great River Realm!
Even if she intervened, it would be pointless; she couldn't stop it.
On the contrary, it could cost you your life.
Liu Wan was struggling internally.
Liu Cangdong slowly raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and pressed them towards Ning Chuan's direction, coldly saying, "A dying struggle!"
He is the Heavenly King of the Great River Realm. As long as Ning Chuan doesn't kill Xi Fengrou, he can save her.
The Heaven-Overturning Seal crashed down, unleashing its power once more.
At this moment, Liu Cangdong frowned.
In the void beneath the Heaven-Overturning Seal, dozens of ancient Stars emerged, vast and boundless, carrying terrifying power. They soared into the sky and crashed heavily down, causing the Heaven-Overturning Seal to tremble violently. It could no longer maintain the power that suppressed Ning Chuan and dissipated completely.
"Headmaster!"
Gazing at the enormous, ancient Stars, Ning Chuan let out a soft breath, finally easing his tense nerves.
In the distance, a refined-looking middle-aged man leaped out of the space, staring at Liu Cangdong with a rare hint of anger on his face.
It was Wei Chen.
"You arrived just in time!"
Liu Cangdong snorted coldly, and the trembling Heaven-Overturning Seal suddenly stabilized, no longer suppressing its power. Its size instantly increased, becoming like a giant mountain, filled with endless power, reversing heaven and earth, and suppressing those Stars.
The next moment, Liu Cangdong's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly formed hand seals, activating the Heaven-Overturning Seal to defend.
boom!
The heavens and earth were crimson, the Firmament stained with blood!
A silver spear swept across the sky, swirling with tangible Slaughter, swift and unparalleled, striking the Heaven-Overturning Seal that was blocking it, like a thunderous punishment from the heavens.
The enormous Heaven-Overturning Seal shuddered violently, tumbling backward and nearly crashing into Liu Cangdong behind it.
At this moment, a slender hand reached out from the void, spread its five fingers, and grasped the silver war spear.
Bai Qi, descend!
Before he had fully leaped out of the space, his scarlet eyes blazed with light, suddenly piercing through the void like two immortal-slaying flying swords, stained with blood, and hurtling towards Liu Cangdong at lightning speed!
Thump! Thump!
Two earth-shattering sounds rang out simultaneously.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the Heaven-Overturning Seal, spreading in patches.
However, it didn't explode.
The Heaven-Overturning Seal is extremely sturdy.
The damage caused by Bai Qi's gaze was mainly superficial.
However, just because the Heaven-Overturning Seal could withstand it did not mean that Liu Cangdong could resist it. He was suddenly jolted and fell like lightning, crashing into the towering waves and sinking into the depths of the North Sea.
At this moment, Bai Qi's gaze remained undiminished as he plunged into the North Sea, sweeping back and forth as if plowing the entire sea area, creating waves tens of thousands of meters high!
Wei Chen wasn't idle either. With a wave of his hand, countless Stars fell into the North Sea in pursuit of Liu Cangdong, creating a tremendous spectacle!
"Lord, are you alright?"
A voice came from the side.
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan turned around and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with surprise. After a while, he said, "You are... Uncle Qin? You've been promoted to Heavenly King?!"
Qin Lang's aged appearance vanished. Seeing that Ning Chuan was unharmed, he felt relieved and nodded, saying, "It's been a while, about the same time Lu Zhan was promoted to Divine General."
I was originally planning to come directly to you.
However, because of the negotiations with the other races, the principal found me and asked me to escort the Federation's clan-protecting weapon, the ' Annihilation Heavenly Thunder,' to the North Sea Domain, which delayed me quite a bit."
Ning Chuan's heart skipped a beat.
He knew that if Bai Qi's plan broke down, he would use the clan's secret weapon to forcibly seize the special passage.
How did the second round of negotiations go?
"It hasn't started yet."
Qin Lang shook his head and told Ning Chuan that there were opposing voices within the Federation regarding Bai Qi's plan.
Several Heavenly King, led by Xu Yuan, felt that this move was too extreme.
"Furthermore, the Federation doesn't want to negotiate with the alien races too early. If things fall apart, they can't give the alien races too much time to prepare."
Qin Lang said in a deep voice, " The Federation is prepared to wait until the waiting period for the Divine Martial Stele begins before initiating negotiations."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan nodded thoughtfully.
Before the Divine Martial Stele is opened, the passage usually takes three days to be fully activated; this period is known as the waiting period.
As the two talked, the battle in the distance grew increasingly fierce.
The one who suffered the most was Liu Cangdong.
Even when facing Bai Qi alone, he was at a disadvantage.
Not to mention fighting two opponents at once, plus dealing with Wei Chen.
A moment later, Liu Cangdong coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.
Bai Qi and Wei Chen, on the other hand, were completely relaxed.
"Are you joining forces to attack, trying to start a war between two planets?!"
Liu Cangdong roared angrily.
Wei Chen sneered, "Old man, now you know it's unfair? Why didn't you think about that when you were intimidating Ning Chuan before!"
It's clear he's standing up for Ning Chuan.
Bai Qi, wielding a silver spear, thrust out a single strike, unleashing countless crimson lightning bolts that sent Liu Cangdong flying, his hair standing on end, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
"Then let's start a war! Wasn't it the Holy Heaven Alliance that made peace back then?"
Bai Qi said coldly.
Liu Cangdong scoffed and mocked, "Start a war? Does your Federation even have the strength to do that?"
"All the forces in Martial Star combined are still weaker than those in the Heavenly Martial Realm!"
Liu Cangdong's eyes flashed with ferocity as he said, "I know there are some minor conflicts between the Federation and the alien races right now. Do you think the alien races will join forces with you?"
Bai Qi attacked with his gun, causing Liu Cangdong to cough up blood repeatedly, before finally speaking, "With just my Human Federation, we can still bring down the Heavenly Martial Realm!"
Liu Cangdong's face was gloomy, and he did not refute.
If the Federation is truly determined to fight to the death, even at the cost of annihilation, it could inflict severe losses on the Heavenly Martial Realm.
"Can't say anything? That's alright, think about it slowly. The Holy Heaven Alliance's rescue will probably take a while longer."
Wei Chen said with a smile.
But there was no hint of a smile in his eyes.
His attacks were ruthless, and in coordination with Bai Qi, he repeatedly sent Liu Cangdong flying, forcing him to retreat steadily. The Heaven -Heaven-Overturning Seal he had condensed was on the verge of exploding.
Time slips away, bit by bit.
Liu Cangdong's injuries worsened.
The key point is that being brutally beaten in front of countless people made him extremely angry.
Finally, Liu Cangdong could no longer contain himself and roared, "If this continues, don't force me to fight to the death and launch a war against the Federation, hold back all your Heavenly King, and let the alien race seize the Divine Martial Stele's lineage!"
"You should know the terrifying nature of ancient traditions!"
Liu Cangdong's eyes were sinister.
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen glanced at Bai Qi and shook his head slightly.
The two stopped attacking.
Liu Cangdong didn't want to stay a second longer. He turned to Ning Chuan and said coldly, "Give me Xi Fengrou and Fan Yu's rings, and this matter can be temporarily put on hold!"
Ning Chuan lifted Xi Fengrou, a slight smirk playing on his face, and sneered, "Old woman, what were you thinking to say such a thing?!"
