The Heavenly Court (3)!
"See?"
The White Tiger seemed to have anticipated that no thunderbolts would fall from the sky; he held the Vermilion Bird's head in his hand and chuckled coldly.
At this moment, Vermilion Bird's body was twitching, clearly still alive. For powerhouses of their level, even beheading would be difficult to kill them.
"This was a golden opportunity to inflict heavy damage, yet you hesitated, afraid of hurting your brother?" White Tiger turned his head with a cold laugh, "You lot have no idea what war is. Or perhaps you only know how to look down on the world from a high position. To you, war is just a string of numbers. You're ruthless to people in ordinary times, but what does your ruthlessness amount to on the battlefield?"
Azure Dragon: "."
"You just missed your last chance to kill me!" White Tiger sneered and crushed Vermilion Bird's head.
"Damn it!" This time, Azure Dragon didn't hesitate. He opened his domain wide, and countless ancient trees rose from the ground. His body also expanded, and powerful energy rapidly gathered.
He knew this woman was strong, but he didn't expect her to be this strong. If he didn't go all out, he was afraid his fate would be exactly the same as that of the Vermilion Bird!
"Stop!" Ziwei cursed the idiot inwardly, seeing what was happening.
Fire element is everywhere here, what are you thinking, using the Azure Wood Art here?
Sure enough, in the next instant, many of the ancient trees spontaneously combusted. Once one caught fire, the rest of the trees followed suit, spreading like wildfire and showing no signs of stopping.
Seeing this, Azure Dragon's heart skipped a beat. Without the gathering of Azure Wood Spirit, he couldn't quickly accumulate clouds or form the strongest heavenly lightning. What should he do?
"What an idiot!" The White Tiger's terrifying speed was displayed once again, arriving in front of the Azure Dragon almost in the blink of an eye. But this time, the Azure Dragon was on guard, his body covered in heavenly lightning, and the transformed blade in his hand was also a short weapon. He reacted quickly and caught the opponent's fast attack.
The Azure Dragon's power is different from the Vermilion Bird's. The quick attack failed to capture it immediately. The powerful lightning passed through the blade and instantly paralyzed the White Tiger's body, making its movements much stiffer.
Seeing this, Azure Dragon's heart, which had been in his throat, slowly calmed down.
"Nothing special." Azure Dragon sneered, "It's only because Vermilion Bird was careless; otherwise, you would never have had the chance to engage me in close combat. What a foolish choice."
White Tiger remained silent. At this moment, the roles of offense and defense had reversed, and the opponent had become the attacker. The side effects of the previous strain on his body were gradually becoming apparent, and his speed was slowing down, allowing Azure Dragon to fight more and more easily.
At this moment, Azure Dragon became excited, but he was completely unaware of the changes behind him.
At this moment, Ziwei wanted to speak, but when she tried to speak, she found that she could not make a sound.
Immediately, the intense unease proved true; it was indeed the other side's scheme!
"Lord Star Lord Ziwei?" The man in white bowed slightly. "I've long admired your name!"
Ziwei looked up, and everything around her had somehow transformed into a traditional Chinese ink painting style. A chill ran through her; she knew something terrible had happened!
Chen Qing has quite the appetite this time; does he actually intend to take over the Heavenly Court in one fell swoop?
"I've long admired your name," Ziwei said, looking at the other person. "A mere native almost overturned the entire world. Your abilities are in no way inferior to Chen Qing's, and you are also a key target of our Heavenly Court's vigilance!"
"Is that so?" King of Qin laughed immediately. "That is truly my honor. I never imagined that someone as lowly as me would be the focus of such high and mighty attention. Hmm. It seems all these years of hard work haven't been in vain."
"How did you do that?" Ziwei looked at the other person. "I remember that your ability is very difficult to use when you're above your level, right? I have..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that her Spacetime Jade had been used to activate the Heavenly Court's grand formation. Being distracted and in her weakest state at this moment, it was indeed not impossible that she had been ambushed.
"You might be considered a relatively wise person, but that's about it." The King of Qin sneered and shook his head, "You lot, with the information from the prophets, have all sorts of advantages, but if we started from the same point, you would be nothing. Do you believe that?"
Ziwei remained silent. For so many years, they had never really taken the natives seriously, but this scene made her realize that if the other side had the same intelligence, they might even be able to defeat the stronger enemy.
Take the White Tiger for example. Despite being far inferior to the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon in both current condition and strength, it was able to kill one and restrain the other. What the other party said might be true. If we were on the same starting line, our group might really be nothing.
"What do you intend to do?" Ziwei said coldly, "Even if you replace me, what can you do? Shut down the teleportation array and wipe out the forces from the Four Great Outer Heavens? Don't think I didn't see through you; your Four Saints Guard who have reached the King Level are barely managing, and they could self-destruct at any moment."
"If the Heavenly King Army can escape, you will naturally gain some advantage. But if you push them too far, you won't come out unscathed either."
"I know," the King of Qin laughed, "So it's not because you always underestimate us, always thinking that with such a good opportunity, all we want is your little bit of heavenly soldiers. Are we really that pathetic?"
"You... you all..." Ziwei's expression changed as the worst possible guess surfaced in her mind.
"Ah, just as you think," the King of Qin laughed even more heartily, "We... we want the entire Heavenly Court!"
--
"Those two idiots!!"
In the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor saw the Vermilion Bird beheaded and the Azure Dragon becoming more and more excited as it fought, seemingly forgetting its duty to protect the Ziwei. For a moment, the Elder Long's face was extremely ferocious!
He suddenly felt a pang of regret for having sent his men to kill the White Tiger.
If she hadn't been so ruthless, if she had only summoned the White Tiger back, perhaps she wouldn't have gone to such lengths, or at least wouldn't have fallen into this crisis.
what to do?
He was increasingly convinced that Chen Qing would arrange for an unexpected person to launch a surprise attack on Ziwei.
If something happens to Ziwei and the Heavenly King Army can't return, then their Heavenly Court will be in trouble.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up, gave a wink to the divine guard beside him, and the guard nodded and followed the Heavenly Emperor to the back of the hall.
"You, go and take inventory of all the resources."
"Your Majesty, this is..." The guard's expression changed drastically.
"This is the worst-case scenario. Go, time is running out. Remember, don't alert anyone else."
"Yes"
--
However, what no one expected was that the replaced Ziwei did not shut down the spatial array. Instead, she quietly set up a teleportation point in the back, and a figure that even the Heavenly Emperor himself was extremely familiar with arrived directly at the Heavenly Court from that teleportation point.
It Ziyue, the number one sorcerer in Jiangnan, who returned to Jiangnan with the King of Qin and was also skilled in spatial formations!
