Human Clan Defender

Chapter 896 45-46: Emperor's Fall (Double Chapter)

Forcing that sword strike weakened his Divine Fire to the extreme. On the surface, nothing seemed amiss, but in truth, he had little combat strength left to speak of.

However.

The Kui Emperor had already fallen.

With the strongest of the Kuiniu Clan gone, the remaining issues would become significantly easier to manage.

Absorb!

He frantically drew upon the stored faith within the Sea of Consciousness.

Those unrefined impurities of faith were being absorbed madly, but a large part would be invisibly consumed, a sheer waste.

Nevertheless.

Zhongshan Xia couldn't be bothered with such things now.

The battle wasn't over yet, and without restoring himself, there was a high chance his efforts would be in vain.

Seeing his condition.

In an instant.

A strong fighter from the Kuiniu Clan noticed something amiss.

"He's at the end of his tether, kill him, avenge our Emperor!"

With a furious roar.

A thousand-zhang tall Kuiniu broke through the void, its voice reverberating in fearsome tones, instantly solidifying the surrounding void, with countless destructive thunderbolts suddenly appearing.

Facing the incoming attack, Zhongshan Xia frowned slightly.

As he was about to swing his sword.

Suddenly.

The space beside him split open, and a dazzling sword light tore through, directly obliterating all the thunder, forcing the massive Kuiniu's body to retreat.

"Elder Xia, let me handle this."

A calm voice sounded, as Zhongshan Kongzhou appeared there.

He wore a blood-stained white robe, holding a gigantic bull head resembling a small mountain, evidently having just slain a Kuiniu Clan strong fighter.

Upon appearing.

He threw the bull head in his hand towards that Kuiniu Clan strong fighter.

The mountain-like head, combined with unparalleled force, crashed down, shattering the void like a mirror.

"Courting death!"

Seeing a fellow clan member's head being thrown his way, the strong fighter's eyes nearly burst in fury.

Boom!

Thunder struck, and the head exploded outright.

The thousand-zhang body rose into the air, its single hoof coming down in suppression.

Zhongshan Kongzhou, seeing this, remained unchanged in expression, his long sword tracing an arc, its cold sword light reflecting in the void, blossoming into a deadly splendor.

——

"Kill!"

"Kill him!"

Terrifying thunder accompanied by furious roars; a red serpent-shaped lightning shattered, as a God Realm of the Candle Sect let out an unwilling scream, ultimately engulfed entirely by the thunder.

"Junior Brother!"

A Candle Sect disciple engaged in a life-and-death struggle with another God Realm changed expression upon witnessing this scene.

But.

He wanted to take action but was utterly powerless.

Surveying the entire scene.

All other fellow disciples were entangled with their opponents, unable to spare a hand.

As he watched the other fall.

This disciple's heart sank.

Failure!

It was complete failure!

They had initially joined forces to attack the city of the Kuiniu Clan, relying on their strength, wiping out cities swiftly, slaying the strong within.

At first, they indeed succeeded several times.

But unexpectedly.

The Kuiniu Clan reacted extremely quickly.

In no time, they had set an ambush, finally encircling all of them.

At this point.

A Candle Sect's God Realm had already fallen.

If this continued, he had no chance of survival.

To survive.

He had to break through the encirclement.

But——

Seeing the many strong fighters of the Kuiniu Clan surrounding, he ultimately gave up the plan.

In terms of number of strong fighters.

Their side was outnumbered several times over.

"Fellow disciples, I will go ahead!"

Realizing there was no escape, this Candle Sect disciple shouted angrily, his aura suddenly surging, reaching a critical point in an instant.

"Not good!"

"Retreat quickly, he's about to self-destruct!"

Several God Realm of the Kuiniu Clan witnessing this scene paled.

Without thinking.

They began withdrawing to other areas.

God Realm self-destruction!

For strong fighters of the same level, it was a devastating attack.

At this moment.

A terrifying suppression force suddenly descended from the void, catching two Kuiniu Clan God Realm unprepared, as they were suddenly grasped tightly by a massive hand.

Then.

To the shock of both clans' God Realm, the two Kuiniu Clan God Realm had their Flesh directly crushed.

With their Flesh shattered.

Their Divine Souls fled, trying to escape to the distance.

But before they could escape, they saw a Seal fall, and the two Divine Souls were instantly annihilated.

"That's—the Heavens in Palm, Senior Brother Qiu is here!"

The disciple who was about to self-destruct stopped immediately upon seeing this, showing a face of delight as if he had survived a disaster.

The Heavens in Palm!

This Divine Skill was once unfamiliar to Candle Sect disciples.

But following the battle where Shen Changqing subdued two direct disciples, the Heavens in Palm became well-known among Candle Sect disciples.

Now seeing this Divine Skill again, he recognized it instantly.

Indeed.

As the two God Realm completely fell, Shen Changqing had quietly appeared there.

"Senior Brother Qiu!"

Seeing the newcomer, the remaining Candle Sect disciples felt a weight lift from their hearts.

Being a direct disciple, his strength was extraordinary.

Especially when he had just appeared, crushing two God Realms with absolute power, bringing immense intimidation.

"Kill the enemy first!"

Shen Changqing glanced at the Candle Sect disciples, finally setting his eyes on the Kuiniu Clan God Realm.

As he opened his mouth, a storm of powerful energy surged.

With his moves, the other Candle Sect disciples revitalized, unleashing a hundred and twenty percent of their power to kill the enemy.

"Retreat!"

Faced with this, the Kuiniu Clan God Realm all chose to retreat at the first moment.

They had no choice.
