The Demon Envoy was enraged by the death of his only son. Sensing the terrifying killing intent and pressure, Xiao Chen, who had already killed over a hundred demonic cultivators, calmly looked up at the sky.
As far as the eye could see, the Demon Envoy above the clouds was forcing the Heavenly Wood Ruler back with a punch as if he had gone mad. Then, his body flashed and he rushed toward Xiao Chen, intending to kill him with one blow.
Following the death of his only son, the Demon Envoy's murderous intent had reached its peak. Seeing the Demon Envoy charging toward Xiao Chen, the Heavenly Wood Ruler's expression darkened. He had a bad feeling about this, but he still quickly chased after the Demon Envoy while yelling, "Kill him!
"If you dare touch him, I'll take you down with me today."
The Wood Ruler's roar was extremely loud, clearly reaching Xiao Chen's ears. Xiao Chen's heart trembled slightly when he heard this. Everyone knew that the Wood Clan and Xiao Chen had always had some conflict. However, judging from the Wood Ruler's actions, he truly wanted to save Xiao Chen. He wasn't putting on an act at all.
As expected of a ruler, his breadth of mind was incomparable to ordinary people. Of course, this was also a difference in height. At a ruler's level, small conflicts and grudges were nothing. Now that Xiao Chen was one of the ten great geniuses, the Wood Ruler naturally couldn't just watch as Xiao Chen died.
The Wood Heavenly Ruler chased after Xiao Chen, but he wasn't much faster than the Demon Envoy. Everyone's heart sank when they saw the Demon Envoy rushing towards Xiao Chen.
The Demon Envoy had already sent a palm strike towards Xiao Chen. He wanted to kill Xiao Chen even if the Wood Ruler had rushed over and heavily injured him. Everyone gasped when they saw the mountainous palm descending from the sky.
Just when everyone thought that Xiao Chen was doomed, Dao Sovereign Danyun suddenly appeared above Xiao Chen's head. With a flick of his finger, a ball of dark-red flames shot out. It transformed into a sea of fire that successfully blocked the Demon Envoy's attack.
At the critical moment, Dao Sovereign Danyun had arrived in time to protect Xiao Chen. The Demon Envoy's expression was extremely unsightly when he saw this.
"A mighty Dao Emperor actually attacked a junior of the Luminous Mirror Realm. Tsk tsk, your character really isn't that great," Dao Sovereign Danyun said indifferently with a cold gaze.
He stared coldly at Dao Sovereign Danyun. He knew that he couldn't kill Xiao Chen now that the Wood Ruler had arrived. Under the protection of two Sovereigns, it was obvious that he couldn't kill Xiao Chen.....
His expression was gloomy. At the same time, the other Demon Envoy who had been fighting with Dao Sovereign Danyun appeared. The four Sovereigns clenched their teeth and faced each other. After a while, one of the Demon Envoys shouted, "Retreat!"
The current situation was no longer suitable for the battle to continue. Dao Master Danyun's strength was too terrifying. The Demon Emissary felt that Dao Master Danyun wasn't using his full strength to fight against Dao Master Danyun.
Although he didn't know the reason, it wouldn't be worth it if they continued to fight to the death.
The Demon Envoy clearly didn't know that Dao Sovereign Danyun wasn't going all out because he was lazy and didn't want to risk his life. Moreover, Dao Sovereign Danyun's goal from the beginning was to delay the Demon Envoy.
It had to be said that if the Heavenly Pill Ruler knew what Dao Sovereign Danyun was thinking, he would probably fly into a rage.
After the Demon Envoy gave the order to retreat, the army of Demonic Cultivators retreated in an orderly manner. The Demon Envoy in the sky also pulled the other Demon Envoy, who was staring at Xiao Chen, away quickly.
The two Demon Envoys retreated. At the same time, the third Demon Envoy, who was fighting with the Heavenly Pill Ruler in the sky, also seized the opportunity to retreat and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
The Heavenly Star Continent didn't chase after them. After this battle, the Heavenly Star Continent had suffered heavy casualties, so it wasn't suitable for them to continue chasing.
With the appearance of the Heavenly Pill Ruler, the three Sovereigns stood proudly in the sky. Below them, hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Star Continent martial artists burst into thunderous cheers.
Although this battle was extremely tragic, East Pass City was defended against the army of Demonic Cultivators, which was almost twice their number. This was a great victory for them.
The cheers rose and fell. Everyone knew that Xiao Chen and his disciple had contributed greatly to this victory. Whether it was Dao Sovereign Danyun or Xiao Chen, if it weren't for the two of them, the outcome of this battle would have been hard to predict.
Below them, many people spontaneously gathered around Xiao Chen and threw him high into the air. They also kept shouting, "King Bewitching Sword, King Bewitching Sword …"
In this battle, Xiao Chen had used his strength to prove the strength of the Ten Great Prides. So what if he was the son of a Demon Envoy? So what if he had been taught by a Sovereign since he was young? In the face of the Ten Great Prides, he could only bow his head.
Looking at the cheers below, the Heavenly Wood Ruler in the sky smiled at Dao Sovereign Danyun. "Danyun, you really hid your strength well. After so many years, even I didn't know your true cultivation base."
"Haha, Brother Wood, you jest. You know that I only have this mouthful of wine. As for the rest … haha." Upon hearing Hegemon Wood's words, Dao Master Danyun returned to his usual drunken state. He no longer had the majesty of an almighty Hegemon. He took a sip of wine from his flagon and replied with a chuckle.
Seeing Dao Sovereign Danyun like this, the Heavenly Pill Ruler was displeased. He snorted and said, "Hmph, all you know is to drink. What else do you know besides wine?"
Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with Dao Sovereign Danyun's laziness and addiction to wine. However, Dao Sovereign Danyun didn't take it to heart. He had been like this since he was young and was used to being lazy. It was impossible for him to change.
After this great victory, Xiao Chen and the others returned to the city. Only a few people stayed behind to clean up the battlefield.
The corpses of the demonic cultivators were dug up and buried, while the corpses of the Heavenly Chen Continent cultivators were collected and brought back to the city. Then, they were transported back to their hometowns for burial. At the same time, the Sovereigns gave a considerable amount of compensation to the families of the dead.
Standing on the city wall, Xiao Chen said snappily to Dao Master Danyun beside him, "Old drunkard, you really hid your strength well. You're actually a Sovereign Realm expert."
"Haha." Dao Sovereign Danyun smiled and didn't answer Xiao Chen's question. In fact, if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Dao Sovereign Danyun definitely wouldn't have taken action.
Xiao Chen didn't delve into this matter. He watched as the corpses of the Heavenly Chen Continent cultivators were transported back to the city. His mood was somewhat complicated. "So this is war …"
This was the first time Xiao Chen had experienced a war. At the same time, Dao Sovereign Danyun said with a heavy expression, "That's right. This is war. It's an era where human lives are treated like grass."
