Immortal God of War

Chapter 606 - 591: Scheming to the End_1

Seeing this, the pupils of the two one-star War Ancestors contracted, and they hesitated. They could tell at a glance that the techniques Dong Zhengyang and the other two employed were superior Battle Techniques. If they clashed directly, two against three, they would surely be at a disadvantage. But thinking of Wan Chou and the others rushing to support them boosted their confidence. Although the opposing side consisted of three one-star War Ancestors, they were also one-star War Ancestors. In a fight between those of the same cultivation level, they would merely be injured at most; it was impossible for the three’s Battle Techniques to kill them on the spot. And if they could just stall for a little while longer, until Wan Chou and the others arrived, these people would be doomed!

With this thought, the two no longer hesitated. They began to channel their Battle Techniques, preparing to fight with all they had!

CLANG!!!

However, just at this moment, a series of ear-splitting metallic sounds echoed through the air. A dark iron chain, like a massive serpent, tore through the sky. It lashed out before the three Battle Techniques could land, entangling the two men and binding them together.

That’s right! This was Dong Zhengyang’s Battle Soul!

Upon seeing this Battle Soul, both Shen Long and Jiang Wei’s faces lit up with joy. Clearly, they too understood the might of this Battle Soul!

But those two one-star War Ancestors merely showed faces full of disdain. To think a mere iron chain could bind them was utterly preposterous!

But then, their expressions suddenly changed.

"Immobilize!"

With Dong Zhengyang’s low shout, the iron chain suddenly erupted with a brilliant light, releasing an obscure aura. The two men were instantly fixed in the void, as if frozen solid, unable to move an inch.

They were scared out of their wits. What kind of iron chain was this? How could it possess such terrifying power?

It all happened in a flash! The three Battle Techniques arrived, crashing powerfully onto the two men.

BOOM!

"ARGH!!"

Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, the two men shrieked in agony. In an instant, their bodies were drenched in blood, a ghastly sight.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Wan Chou’s and the twin sisters’ eyes turned cold.

BOOM!!

Almost simultaneously, the three of them raised their arms and struck out with their palms. Three waves of terrifying Battle Intent surged like a tidal wave towards Qin Feiyang and the others.

"Retreat, quickly!" Dong Zhengyang shouted.

Qin Feiyang’s expression darkened as he looked at the two one-star War Ancestors. Though the duo had been hit directly by the three major Battle Techniques, they hadn’t died; they were still breathing! If he didn’t finish them off completely, the two would surely be back on their feet in no time.

At this thought, Qin Feiyang’s resolve hardened, and he shouted, "White-Eyed Wolf!"

"Understood!" the White-Eyed Wolf howled and, clutching two ribs, charged at the two men.

"Madmen!" Dong Zhengyang and the other two cursed. Wan Chou and the twin sisters had already attacked; anyone with a shred of sense would choose to flee immediately. Yet these two actually dared such a reckless stunt! This was tantamount to gambling with their lives!

But suddenly, Qin Feiyang’s voice reached their ears. "You three head to the old castle first."

"What?" The three of them stared blankly. Was Qin Feiyang going to fight three two-star War Ancestors alone? Wasn’t this just fooling around? Absolutely not! In the current situation, Qin Feiyang was an indispensable key figure; he absolutely could not afford to have an accident here!

However, before they could speak, Qin Feiyang waved his hand. The trio felt their bodies lighten, and the next moment, they appeared inside the old castle.

"Bastard!"

"There should be a limit to such recklessness!"

"Isn’t this just asking for death?"

Immediately, the three of them were stomping their feet in anger inside the old castle.

「At the same time, outside!」

Qin Feiyang turned to face Wan Chou and the twin sisters, his expression as calm as still water.

"You were all fighting so fiercely amongst yourselves just moments ago. Why the sudden united front against me the instant you saw me?" Qin Feiyang asked, his tone remarkably calm. "I’m genuinely puzzled. Where exactly did I offend you all? Could it be that I’m simply too outstanding, making you feel threatened?"

His tone was indeed very placid, but to the ears of Wan Chou and the twin sisters, it sounded entirely different. They all felt that Qin Feiyang was mocking them.

Xueruo retorted viciously, "You damned pervert! I, this young lady, will definitely gouge out your eyes today!"

"Sigh... I really didn’t peep at you bathing. Why won’t you believe me?" Qin Feiyang sighed, shaking his head. He raised his right hand, and a dazzling golden light erupted, surging like a torrent to collide with the Battle Intent from Wan Chou and the twin sisters.

RUMBLE!

The very earth trembled at that moment.

Qin Feiyang spat out a mouthful of blood. His arm shattered on the spot, and even his body began to crack, shocking bloody fissures spreading across it. The combined might of three two-star War Ancestors was simply too terrifying! He had a feeling that if he didn’t find a way to stop this, his body would surely be torn apart.

"Battle!"

Without hesitation, he decisively activated the War Technique. His eyes and long hair instantly turned blood-red, and an endless Battle Intent surged forth, shaking the heavens! The bleeding fissures on his body abruptly stopped spreading. Although they hadn’t healed, they weren’t cracking further either.

"That was truly close!" Qin Feiyang felt a lingering fear as he raised his left hand again. The previous palm strike hadn’t managed to reflect the Battle Intent of Wan Chou and the twin sisters.

BOOM!

The golden light reappeared, transforming into a dazzling stream that rushed towards their Battle Intent. The two forces collided once more. Qin Feiyang’s left hand also shattered on the spot, flesh and blood flying everywhere. But this time, the Battle Intent from Wan Chou and the twin sisters was finally repelled.

Although this development was somewhat sudden, Wan Chou and the twin sisters reacted quickly. Using auxiliary War Techniques, they swiftly retreated to one side.

ARGH!!

Just then, two horrific screams, like pigs being slaughtered, echoed out. The White-Eyed Wolf was seen swinging the ribs, mercilessly shattering the heads of the two one-star War Ancestors, who died a miserable death on the spot!

"I’ll kill you all!" Wan Chou and the others were thoroughly enraged. Ten Nine-Star War Ancestors and one one-star War Ancestor—such losses were an absolute catastrophe for You State and Void State!

"Kill us?" Qin Feiyang grinned. "Let me tell you, this is just the beginning. Anyone who dares to touch the people around me, Qin Feiyang, no matter who they are, I will make them pay a heavy price. Remember my words: the game that follows will be even more fun."

With a smirk, Qin Feiyang took the White-Eyed Wolf and went directly to the old castle.

"Where did they go?" Wan Chou and the others from You State looked bewildered.

"He vanished into thin air again, just like last time! Damn it!" the twin sisters fumed, their faces livid.

"Last time?" Wan Chou looked at them suspiciously.

Xuening explained, "Not long ago, we fought him. He escaped using this same method."

Wan Chou mused, "It seems I underestimated him."

Just then, Fenghuo rushed over and said to Wan Chou, "Although this man is only an Eight-Star War Emperor, both his temperament and his methods are extraordinary. He is very likely to be our greatest adversary in the Netherworld. I have a proposal: let our two states form an alliance."

The burly man from You State retorted, "Impossible! If it weren’t for your Void State, would Qin Feiyang and his group have had the chance to kill so many of us?"

"And if it weren’t for you, Qin Feiyang wouldn’t have been able to kill so many from our Void State either!" Fengg Wuxie snorted coldly.

Wan Chou glanced at the three one-star War Ancestors on his side, then looked at Fengg Wuxie and the others. "An alliance is possible," he said, "but any benefits gained in the Netherworld must be split fifty-fifty."

"Of course," Fenghuo nodded, extending his hand with a smile. "Here’s to our successful cooperation."

Wan Chou merely gave him a cool glance before turning to look elsewhere, his disdain for Fenghuo evident.

Fenghuo awkwardly withdrew his hand, not taking offense. He turned to Fengg Wuxie and said gravely, "Go and bring Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong here. I have a feeling something isn’t right about all this."

The burly man from You State frowned. "Who are Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong?"

Fenghuo replied, "They are Kings from Spirit State’s inner hall. They were the ones who brought us here this time, and they instigated us to plunder Spirit State’s people."

"Hm?" Upon hearing this, Wan Chou’s pupils constricted slightly. Could this be a conspiracy? A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He turned to the burly man and ordered, "You go with him. Bring them back, dead or alive!"

"Understood!" The burly man nodded heavily.

Afterward, Fengg Wuxie and the burly man sped off towards the mountain range.

Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong, positioned on a mountaintop, had seen everything clearly.

Murong Xiong retracted his gaze and looked at Dongfang Wuheng angrily. "So this was your brilliant plan? Tell me, what do we do now?"

Dongfang Wuheng sighed deeply and nodded. "I also didn’t expect things to turn out this way. This is indeed my fault; I overlooked Shen Long and Jiang Wei. But what I can’t figure out is, when did they break through to War Ancestor? If Shen Long and Jiang Wei hadn’t broken through to War Ancestor, the situation now would definitely be entirely different."

Murong Xiong couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. The people from Void State and You State might not know Shen Long and Jiang Wei well, but they did. It was absolutely impossible for them to have broken through to War Ancestor so quickly! After all, it had only been a little over a year since the two of them had advanced to Nine-Star War Emperor.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in Dongfang Wuheng’s eyes. "I think," he said, "it definitely has something to do with Qin Feiyang."

"Something to do with him?" Murong Xiong’s brows furrowed tightly.

Dongfang Wuheng asked, "Did you hear about the battle between Qin Feiyang and Dong Qing in the inner hall back then?"

Murong Xiong replied, "Of course, I heard about it. At that time, Qin Feiyang was only a War King, but somehow, his cultivation suddenly began to skyrocket."

Dongfang Wuheng added, "And there’s something else you might not have noticed: anyone who has a good relationship with Qin Feiyang experiences a sudden, massive surge in their cultivation within a short period."

"Is that so?" Murong Xiong frowned. Back when he was in the inner hall, he was usually in closed-door cultivation. He generally wouldn’t concern himself with external matters unless they were exceptionally significant, nor did he have any interest in finding out.

"Yes," Dongfang Wuheng affirmed. "Although I was also in seclusion, I’ve always had people gather information about Qin Feiyang. For example, Yan Nanshan, Lv Yun, Fan Jian, and Yin Yuanming. Yin Yuanming is the most glaring example. He used to be only a Five-Star War Emperor, but not long after getting to know Qin Feiyang, I heard he had already stepped into the War Ancestor realm."

Murong Xiong was utterly astonished. This was far too strange!

Dongfang Wuheng lowered his voice. "I have a bold guess. Qin Feiyang definitely has some method, or some kind of medicinal pill, that can allow people to advance an entire cultivation realm in a short period."

Hearing this, Murong Xiong’s eyes immediately lit up. He asked, "So, should we continue to follow the people from Void State, or should we go find Qin Feiyang and his group?"

"Continuing to follow the people from Void State is no longer feasible," Dongfang Wuheng said with a smile. "After all, they aren’t fools; they’re probably already suspicious of us. So, our only option is to find Qin Feiyang and his group. Firstly, being with them will ensure our safety. Secondly, we can use the opportunity to investigate exactly how Qin Feiyang helped Shen Long and Jiang Wei break through. Who knows, if we build a good relationship with him, he might even help us improve our cultivation."

"Two birds with one stone! Brilliant!" Murong Xiong gave a thumbs-up, grinning slyly, but then his brow furrowed again. "We were scheming against him before. Are you sure he’ll accept us again?"

Dongfang Wuheng chuckled, an expression of complete control on his face. "Only we know that we were scheming against him; he doesn’t. When we actually find him, he might even thank us. After all, we deserve some credit for the fact that so many people from Void State were killed this time."

Murong Xiong nodded and laughed. "That’s true. If we hadn’t brought the people from Void State here, it would have been difficult for Qin Feiyang’s group to rescue Ren Wushuang and the others, let alone turn the tables and kill so many of them."

"Let’s go," Dongfang Wuheng said. "Fengg Wuxie and that burly man are probably coming for us. We can’t let them catch us." With that, Dongfang Wuheng turned, leaped down, and quickly vanished into the forest below.

Murong Xiong followed closely behind him.
