Human Clan Defender

Chapter 885 39-40: Battle Merit (Double Chapter)

In his view.

A direct disciple has the dignity of a direct disciple.

The other party's refusal is within reason.

Upon Shen Changqing, although Zhongshan Kongzhou did not discern the aura of the former Zhongshan Baiyue, being a descendant of such a powerful figure, how could he be an ordinary existence?

Recalling the rumors within the Sect, he felt assured.

Strong enough to suppress two direct disciples.

Speaking of strength.

In mid God Realm, he's considered not weak.

"Kongzhou Senior Brother, do you have any understanding of the Kui Niu Clan?"

Though he refused the other's proposition, Shen Changqing seized the opportunity to glean some information from him.

Kui Niu.

The name was not unfamiliar to him.

However, within the Heavens Myriad Clans, what level this race stood at was completely unknown to him.

Zhongshan Kongzhou pondered for a moment: "The Kui Niu Clan once held the status of a clan, but a great war ensued, causing all the powerful figures of the God Realm and above to fall, losing their clan status and dropping two levels.

Later, to avoid the crisis of annihilation, the Kui Niu Clan sought refuge with the Dushan Clan.

Now, after a long recuperation, the Kui Niu Clan, though not restored to its former might, has nonetheless regained some primordial energy.

The clan has a half-step divine king level powerhouse, and many God Realm figures below; this battle is bound to hold much peril."

When mentioning the half-step divine king, his expression turned serious.

Half-step divine king.

Though not truly stepping into the Divine King Realm, they have already taken a step forward.

Such a powerful figure.

More terrifying than a Divine Realm Perfection, not something an ordinary God Realm can withstand.

From Zhongshan Kongzhou's words, Shen Changqing gained a preliminary understanding of the Kui Niu Clan.

A half-step divine king overseeing.

Below them are numerous God Realms.

Subsequently.

He turned to look at the Candle Sect disciples on the longboat.

There were ten thousand disciples, about one percent in the God Realm, and as for half-step divine king level powerhouses, seemingly none were seen.

Though this force is already considered strong, facing the Kui Niu Clan, how much chance of victory there is remains uncertain.

"Among the powerful figures accompanying us this time, is there a half-step divine king overseeing?"

Shen Changqing couldn't help but ask.

Zhongshan Kongzhou shook his head directly.

"No."

In the end, he added a sentence.

"Half-step divine king level powerhouses are not so easily found; even in our Candle Sect, there are only a few at this level.

Formerly, Senior Brother Baiyue belonged to this tier, but unfortunately, he has fallen.

In the past five hundred years, our Candle Sect has birthed no new half-step divine king."

Half-step divine king, not easily entered.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing's heart tightened a bit: "Without a half-step divine king overseeing, how can we counter the half-step divine king of the Kui Niu Clan, isn't the chance of victory low."

"There is something Direct Disciple Qiu must understand; realm is realm, strength is strength, the half-step divine king certainly is more terrifying than the Divine Realm Perfection, but it does not mean, within the God Realm, there is no powerful figure capable of challenging a half-step divine king.

The Sect, having us attack the Kui Niu Clan, must surely have some assurance, wouldn't let us go to our deaths in vain."

"So I see."

Shen Changqing suddenly realized.

Then his gaze fell on the figure at the forefront of the longboat.

The strong figure leading this mission is Zhongshan Xia.

If anyone is most likely to handle a half-step divine king, it would be this Candle Sect Elder.

However.

As to how strong Zhongshan Xia is, Shen Changqing had only heard tales, never truly witnessed it.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze and returned it to Zhongshan Kongzhou.

"Our Zhongshan Clan also has many vassal races, for this battle, they should probably act as well."

"Naturally."

Zhongshan Kongzhou nodded.

"War between clans rarely involves just one race, simply put, those vassal races have their own opposing forces to deal with; the main battlefield is not here."
