On a small path leading to the depths of Mount An, He Jiang, Pang Gong, and Qi Dian were leading over sixty Army of God soldiers.
Unlike Lin Chu and the others, their powerful spiritual radiance caused most of the living Lingdu in the forest to avoid them in advance.
Apart from a few mentally challenged Demigods.
Qiao Zhan was also in the group. He glanced at the dark forest above and saw a few monkey-like creatures scurrying away. He thought for a moment, then asked one of Pang Gong's trusted aides, "Captain Gu, where are we going?"
Captain Gu looked around and whispered, "Don't ask so many questions. Just follow, and you'll know when the time comes."
Qiao Zhan revealed a look of understanding, but when he turned back, his brows were tightly furrowed.
After walking for a long time, the group arrived in front of a broken altar.
The entire group came to a stop.
There was a rustling sound on the ground, and then something drilled out from the ground.
These things were only half the height of a person, with stooped backs and a sarcoma on their backs. Their faces were close to their cheeks, and there were tentacles on their foreheads that hung down like long vines. They surrounded the group but didn't come up, only looking at them from afar. There was also a burst of fine whispers that sounded like leaves rubbing against each other.
The Army of God became vigilant, and one of the captains cursed, "What the hell is this? I'll go get rid of them."
He Jiang stopped him, saying, "Don't be nervous, it's just a group of humanoid vines that aren't a threat."
Qiao Zhan looked at the humanoid vines. It was the first time he had seen such humanoid creatures. They were very weak in battle and could only serve as scouts. In the war sixty years ago, the Blood Sun Ancient Kingdom had many humanoid vines under their command. And now, among the remnants of the Blood Sun Empire, that Devil Vine Priest Charnasum was a humanoid vine.
He Jiang turned to Pang Gong and Qi Dian, saying, "Marquis Pang, Marquis Qi, wait here."
Pang Gong smiled, and Qi Dian sat down with his arms crossed.
He Jiang walked to the altar alone under everyone's gazes. After standing there, he first untied a leather bag that he had prepared beforehand from his belt. Then, he took out a huge spider whose legs were constantly wriggling and placed it on the altar.
As soon as the spider was free, it quickly crawled away. However, before it could go far, a small knife fell from above and nailed it firmly to the altar.
The spider shook a few times, and after a while, it turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated.
The leaves around them began to rustle. Then, an echo that sounded like it came from an ancient forest rang out. "Gods of the East Court, you are late."
He Jiang said, "It's just a little late. Moreover, this doesn't depend on us. It only depends on when that crazy god of yours will appear at the Flood River Pass."
There was a hint of disgust in that voice. "That lunatic, are the things I gave you still useful?"
He Jiang said, "It's very useful. He's already attracted to that place."
The voice asked, "Can you deal with it?"
He Jiang said, "With the Xuanfu people there, as long as its strength doesn't increase too much, it can still be dealt with. Even if it can't be dealt with, we will think of something." He paused. "Don't worry, we won't let it interfere with our matters."
The voice said, "I hope you can do it."
He Jiang said, "Our appearance here has already proven our sincerity. Then, Spider God Ya Chi, where are you? There are some things we need to discuss with you face to face, and there are also some things we need to hand over to you face to face. "
The voice was silent for a while before saying, "Follow those humanoid vines. They will bring you to my territory. You will get the answer you want there."
At the back, Qiao Zhan tried his best to hide the shock on his face and said, "We are … working with EsGod?"
Captain Gu, who was beside him, said nonchalantly, "So what? Now that the protectorate doesn't trust us, we can only look for these EsGod. "
When Qiao Zhan heard this, he was shocked and thought of many things.
A hand patted him heavily on the shoulder. He turned his head and saw Captain Gu looking at him with a playful expression. "Don't worry, as long as we follow these military marquises, we will have the final say in the protectorate soon."
At this time, there was a voice urging them to follow. Captain Gu patted him again and said, "Let's go. There's still some distance to go, but it shouldn't be far."
Seeing him leave, Qiao Zhan moved his finger slightly and scattered some black powder where no one could see.
Long after he left, a few insects that were so delicate that they didn't look like living creatures flew over and circled around the powder before quickly flying away.
At the Honghe Pass, there were ruins everywhere. The fortresses on the west bank were mostly destroyed in the fierce battle, and there were huge holes in the ground. The nearby terrain seemed to have been plowed again.
Dou Chang's robe was tattered, and he panted as he stood alone in front of the Mad God.
He had no choice but to stand there because other than him, no one else in the Xuanfu had the ability to stop this EsGod head-on. They couldn't even deal much damage to this EsGod.
Behind him, tens of thousands of soldiers were standing in formation as the last line of defense at the pass, ready to welcome the enemy's attack at any time. On the other side, countless natives and Blood Feather warriors were waiting for the outcome of the battle to be decided.
As long as he fell, these Blood Sun Empire members would be able to charge forward and invade the protectorate's territory.
The Mad God stared at him, and the insect legs on his body shook. He then lowered his head, and with a rumbling sound, he used his huge body to charge toward him.
In the face of such a behemoth's attack, it was not a good idea to block it head-on. However, Dou Chang could not take a single step back. He let out a low roar, lowered his body, leaned forward slightly, and raised his hands. With a boom, he stopped the charging body. However, in the next moment, his feet sank, and his entire body sank into the mud. Then, the monster directly trampled over his head.
However, not long after the Mad God ran over, his body suddenly stopped. Dou Chang had grabbed his tail. The latter's body glowed brightly, and his other hand grabbed onto the Mad God. Then, with a loud roar, he raised his arms. His seemingly small body actually lifted the Mad God off the ground and threw him far away.
With a boom, the Mad God landed heavily on the shore of the Honghe Pass.
The light on Dou Chang's body flickered as he panted heavily. From the start of the battle until now, he had been the only one standing at the very front, not resting for even a moment. However, after a while, he climbed out of the deep mud and stood up straight on the ground.
The native priests on the other side of the river were shocked. They had seen this God of Dong Ting fight with their god for an entire day, and he had not taken a single step back.
At this moment, a figure flashed. Qi Wu came to his side and cupped his hands. "Senior brother."
Dou Chang turned to look at him. "Did you find it?"
Qi Wu said, "Junior brother Fan is still looking. He told me to come and help senior brother."
Dou Chang looked ahead. "There is no use for you here. Go back and continue searching. I will try my best to delay here."
He realized that the Mad God had been trying to charge toward the forts not because he wanted to attack them, but because he was looking for something.
This was very likely the reason why he was attacking the mountain pass with all his might. As long as he found that thing, he should be able to lure him away. However, no one knew what it was. They could only guess that it had something to do with spirituality. As such, he had sent out everyone who could see spirituality to search for it.
Just as they were talking, a huge and crazy aura spread out from the dust in front of them, and the light of spirituality bloomed in circles.
Dou Chang's expression changed. "Not good!"
Clearly, after such a long battle, the Mad God had sunk into complete madness. It had to be known that this EsGod's strength would increase due to his emotions, and it might even reach a level that only Qi Hua and Zhu Que could stop.
Dou Chang's expression was solemn. "Looks like we can only use that seal."
Qi Wu was shocked and said anxiously, "Senior brother, you might not survive like this."
Dou Chang said in a low voice, "I can't care so much. Senior brother Xiang's reinforcements will take at least two days to arrive. If I don't stop him now, everyone here will die!"
He tore off his robe and looked at the giant body that was roaring madly. He took a few deep breaths and was about to rush forward when suddenly, his vision darkened. A black flame fell from the sky, and then a fist wrapped in endless power slammed into the mad god's head. The powerful force went through the mad god's neck, chest, waist, and other body parts without any resistance, and finally blasted into the ground.
Boom!
The mountain pass seemed to have experienced another earthquake, and countless people on both sides of the mountain felt the ground shake.
After a while, the dust in front of them finally dissipated.
Dou Chang put down his arm and looked up. There was only the broken body of the Mad God on the ground, and it was emitting bursts of charred flesh. In the distance, Yingxiong was standing on the wall of a dilapidated fortress. Under his bangs were scarlet eyes, and his robe was fluttering in the wind like fireworks. In his hand, he was holding half of the Mad God's head.
Qi Wu exclaimed, "Senior brother Ying!"
Yingxiong looked at the still struggling head of the Mad God. He exerted force with his five fingers, and with a crack, the head shattered, revealing a transparent gem the size of a goose egg.
He glanced at the army and the Xuanfu people below, turned his black robe, and was about to leave.
Qi Wu walked up and shouted excitedly, "Senior brother Ying, why are you helping us?"
Yingxiong's figure paused. With his back facing them, he turned his face and said, "I'm just here to take what I need. It has nothing to do with you." As soon as he finished speaking, a black flame rose in the air. Then, it jumped into the sky like a flash of light and disappeared.
