Xia Hua's Helplessness
A sky supreme.
Even in the Upper Three Realms, he'd be considered a hero.
Of course, among the countless experts of the God Realm, even sky supremes had to be careful. But this wasn't the God Realm. This was just the Three Realms, one of the countless planes beneath the God Realm.
Who could? Who dared? Who had the strength to stop Black Dragon, a sky supreme?
Although Yin Shang was a bit nervous, he didn't back down in the slightest. He locked his aura onto Black Dragon as well.
"Emperor Ye, I suggest that we stop fighting," said Ye Zichen.
As their auras clashed, Yin Shang transmitted to Ye Zichen.
"If I'm not mistaken, Black Dragon is currently at least a sky supreme. Even if you and I join forces, it'll be difficult to gain anything from him. As for Gu Li, if I'm not mistaken, his true strength is around that of an earth supreme. He should be able to hold off the other three Sacred Beast clan heads on his own. Besides, they have formation experts like the Zombie Progenitors and Su Yiyun on their side. In terms of experts, we're already at an absolute disadvantage. "
If the Three Sacred Lands had sent troops, they might've had a fighting chance. But they'd contacted their superiors, stopped the Three Sacred Lands from sending reinforcements, and plunged them into the flames of war.
In that case, the Three Realms were instantly at a disadvantage.
It could be said that from the moment the battle began, it was no longer a fair contest.
Ye Zichen's expression shifted, but as he hesitated, Yin Shang repeated what he'd just said to the other Sacred Beast clan heads.
When they heard this, the other clan heads fell silent.
They deserved to be hot-blooded.
But under these circumstances, pointless sacrifices weren't worth it at all.
Perhaps they wanted to avenge Lei Hu and wipe out the demons and vampires. But they couldn't risk hundreds of thousands of lives on a gamble they had no hope of winning.
No, this couldn't even be considered a gamble.
It was simply throwing eggs against a rock.
"I agree."
After a brief moment of silence, Xia Hua, the head of the Dragon Race, chose to back down.
"What do you two think?"
Yin Shang transmitted to Zhuge Hong and Tu Biyu, then saw them nod.
While Ye Zichen was still mulling things over, Yin Shang and the Sacred Beast clan heads made their decisions. Ye Zichen didn't say anything …..
In fact, he probably thought so in his heart!
"Then it's settled. I'll buy time for everyone to retreat. Protect Emperor Ye and the others as they retreat. Activate the Four Beasts Formation. "
Yin Shang said indifferently. His sleeves fluttered even though there was no wind.
"Heavenly Sovereign, I've been stuck in the Earth Sovereign Realm for a long time. I'd like to experience the difference between a Heavenly Sovereign and an Earth Sovereign!"
"That might make you feel despair." The black dragon laughed disdainfully.
"Is that so? We'll know once we try."
His right foot stomped on the void, and the air beneath Yin Shang's feet instantly surged with waves of air. His body also turned into a beam of light under the counterforce of this airwave and attacked brazenly.
"Humph."
The black dragon's eyes were filled with disdain. Countless bone spikes suddenly drilled out of his chest, interweaving into a net …
Dong.
Yin Shang's fist collided with the black dragon's bone spur, and a deafening boom rang out.
"Retreat!"
Zhuge Hong, Xia Hua, and the others looked at each other, nodded, then rushed back into Dragon City. The humans and beasts, who'd been fighting the demons and vampires, retreated as they fought.
"You want to run?"
Gu Li sneered when he saw the Sacred Beasts retreat. However, just as he was about to attack, a powerful kick slammed into his arm.
Bang!
Gu Li retreated a full hundred meters, then shook his sore arm and smiled at the people blocking his way.
"You stayed behind to deal with me. You really are a good opponent. Ye Zichen, are you ready to return the Emperor Star's destiny to me? "
"If you want it, come and take it."
Ye Zichen simply smiled calmly, then transmitted to the Sacred Beast clan heads who wanted to rush over to help.
"Don't worry about me. Hurry up and leave."
"But ….."
The Dragon God had once told them that if they wanted to turn the tables, Ye Zichen would be the most important factor.
They really couldn't let Ye Zichen …..
"Go!"
However, as they hesitated, Ye Zichen roared at them, his eyes bloodshot. Then, without any hesitation, he charged into battle with Gu Li.
He gnashed his teeth as he watched Black Dragon and Gu Li exchange blows with Gu Li …..
"Retreat!"
Boom! Boom!
In order to assist the humans and beasts in their retreat, Zhuge Hong transformed into her Vermilion Bird form, constantly spitting out wisps of Natal True Flames to seal off all of the demon and Blood Tribe's escape routes.
Xia Hua landed outside Dragon City. Standing there were the clansmen of the Four Sacred Beast Clans, who'd set up the Four Beasts Formation.
"Father, has it come to this?"
Asked Xia Yingda, Xia Hua's eldest son and the current head of the Dragon Race, with a frown. Although they hadn't taken part in the battle, they could see the situation from outside.
The situation didn't look good.
Xia Hua nodded dejectedly as he looked at the Sacred Race clansmen outside Dragon City.
"I'm sorry, but we lost."
As he said this, Xia Hua clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head. He didn't dare look directly at the Sacred Beast clansmen.
When he said this, it meant that the people before him had to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their clans.
"The demons are too strong, especially now that we're no longer bound by the Laws. Black Dragon, as a sky supreme, has absolute control over us. I'm not afraid of death, but I can't let hundreds of thousands or even millions of my clansmen die with me. We have no choice but to retreat and wait for the Master of the Laws to arrive. When that happens, we might have a chance to turn the tables. During this time, we need you to buy us that time. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Hua reached out and pulled Xia Keke into his arms. His turbid eyes became crystal clear at this moment.
"Keke, I'm useless. I'm sorry, I'm sorry ….."
She was his most beloved granddaughter, yet he'd had to make her the eye of the formation.
Tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes. Keke sensed Xia Hua's trembling, but she looked up at him and smiled.
"Grandpa, don't blame yourself. I don't blame you at all. Hehe, grandpa, don't cry anymore. You're already so old, but you're still crying like a child. Look at me, I don't even cry anymore. "
She wiped away the tears at the corners of Xia Hua's eyes. Xia Yingda couldn't help but secretly wipe away his tears as well.
When Keke was born, he'd been proud of her true dragon bloodline. But now, he'd rather Xia Keke be an ordinary sky dragon.
That way, she wouldn't have to …..
