Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 516 - 512: Slaying the Eastern Corps

Li Qingxue saw through Xia Tianming’s intentions and laughed heartily.

"Grandfather is truly formidable, making a grand entrance with his first move; I can’t fall too far behind."

The laughter seemed to carry with it ripples of divine power. Dongfang Tian, who had already been shaken by a sword qi, felt his blood churn violently.

Upon being shaken by Li Qingxue’s laughter, his face turned as white as paper, and he couldn’t hold back a spurt of blood.

Xia Tianming raised an eyebrow, smiling faintly as he said, "The Dongfang Clan’s Celestial God is truly fragile, unable to withstand even two bouts of laughter."

Across from him, Dongfang Tian spoke with difficulty, "Who are you two? I have never heard that the Xia Family has..."

The smile on Xia Tianming’s face faded as he coldly looked at his opponent, "The Dongfang Clan truly has some nerve."

"You specifically descended to the Lower Realm to capture me, and now you dare to ask who I am."

"Indeed, what a grand gesture of hypocrisy."

Dongfang Tian’s face darkened further, seemingly realizing who Xia Tianming was, yet he couldn’t believe how in just a few months, several people’s cultivation had rocketed to a level he hardly dared to imagine.

It’s crucial to know that even in the Upper Realm Divine Domain, breaking through realms is extremely challenging.

Yet, only so long had passed since Xia Tianming ignited the Divine Fire and was captured, and he directly broke through to the First Grade Celestial God Realm.

Even those ancient secret clans do not have such formidable cultivation speeds.

Looking at the Great Xia Empire opposite him, Dongfang Tian felt a hint of retreat.

He mustered a rather ugly smile and said, "This, this is a misunderstanding..."

Xia Tianming flipped his hand, sealing a spell into the Void Cauldron, which had swallowed the entire Eastern Corps, and it slowly shrank, fitting back into his palm.

The corner of Dongfang Tian’s eye twitched, instinctively asking, "What about my subordinates..."

Xia Tianming raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I was initially curious about the strength of the Dongfang Clan’s corps, so I used the Void Cauldron to refine them for you."

"Now it seems like no one can walk out of there."

Dongfang Tian nearly spat blood again.

These soldiers were the very foundation of the Dongfang Clan.

Although the Four Great Clans continuously fought each other, competing on high-level combat capabilities, Dongfang Tian knew these Martial Gods were the true foundation.

Now that nearly a thousand Martial Gods perished in the Lower Realm, how could he return and explain to the clan leader?

His face changed between green and white for a long time, realizing that even if he returned, he couldn’t escape death. It would be better to fight to the death, which might provide a bit of a turnaround.

Suddenly, Dongfang Tian’s aura surged, seemingly using some secret technique to greatly elevate his cultivation.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Since you have shown no mercy, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

"You forced me to this!"

After speaking, his body began to swell like it was inflating, charging toward the direction of the Great Xia Imperial Capital, seemingly intending to self-destruct and take a wave of Great Xia soldiers with him.

Li Qingxue’s smile abruptly vanished, watching Dongfang Tian’s suicidal charge, as if reminded of something she was unwilling to recall.

The Snow Fall Sword in her hand emitted a crisp sword hum, a sword qi dozens of times stronger than the ones she casually waved earlier shot out from the sword blade, directly piercing into Dongfang Tian’s divine sea and shattering his soul.

Dongfang Tian’s advancing figure paused, and his entire body, as if deflating, rapidly shriveled.

Li Qingxue stood on the city wall, her eyes full of anger toward Dongfang Tian.

Xia Feng looked down and coldly smiled, looking into his eyes, "I know you still have a bit of Divine Sense left; maybe you can still muster your last bit of willpower to send a message back to the Dongfang Clan."

"Stop pretending to be self-sacrificing, and stop trying to tarnish our Great Xia."

"Initially, it was you who made the first move to capture my clan elder, and we resisted because we were unwilling to surrender."

"Now you say we lack benevolence, but I’d like to ask you, how are we the ones lacking benevolence?"

"It was you who blocked our gate, you who struck first, and now you claim we forced your hand..."

His eyes gradually grew cold; a hint of Demonic Qi floated in his eyes, even wanting to drag Dongfang Tian’s residual soul into the Demonic Qi and ravage it.

Next to him, Li Qingxue stepped forward and held his wrist, softly saying, "Let it go."

Initially, she was just feeling a bit stifled seeing this person self-destruct like Li Qingyu.

It wasn’t enough to make her angry to the point of desecrating a corpse, so she stopped him.

The icy look on Xia Feng’s face gradually dissipated; he watched coldly as Dongfang Tian’s last wisp of remnant soul finally disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.

Xia Feng turned around and said to the Great Xia soldiers, "Great Xia, victorious!"

Though his words were short, they seemed to infuse endless strength into the people behind him, awakening the soldiers prepared for a last stand in the city.

"It’s the Emperor’s Son who’s back!"

"It’s the Great Xia War God, we’ve won!"

"We survived, we won!"

The chaotic shouts gradually merged into a single chant, "Great Xia! Invincible!"

Xia Feng’s lips curled slightly as he smiled at Xia Naiwen, "Father, please settle them. With so many Martial Gods charging, yet they didn’t flee, our Great Xia soldiers are truly courageous."

Indeed, these Great Xia soldiers seemed to withstand several rounds of assaults from the Eastern Corps.

When Xia Feng arrived earlier, he noticed a trace of exhaustion in their expressions, which is why he didn’t take action himself, allowing Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue to act instead.

Great Xia needs heroes, myths, more and more powerful figures for those below to trust in their hearts.

Rather than him being the sole War God, he hoped the Great Xia Divine Domain could nurture more Martial Gods, and even greater Celestial Gods, and True Gods...

With a smile on his face, Xia Naiwen stepped forward, patted Xia Feng on the shoulder, and was ready to settle the soldiers.

However, the soldiers surrounded the city wall, unwilling to leave Xia Feng’s side.

"War God, will you leave again this time?"

"War God, how long will you stay in Great Xia, and where will you go next?"

"War God, how strong are you now? Are you stronger than all these people combined?"

Seeing the light in their eyes, Xia Feng pondered a bit, then stood on the highest point of the city wall, preparing to give the Great Xia soldiers another boost of morale.

"Everyone, since you’re unwilling to leave, then listen to me for a moment."
