Chapters 193. The Sword Challenge.
All the Phoenix leaders and teams saw Tian Jun who was so calm that even the dimensional portal had been destroyed. That calmness made everyone contract, the previous emotions slowly faded away.
Patriarch Fang had reported this bad news to Xue Delun Hai and Queen Shima. Wang Mei and Chu Sying Chun also reported this news to his family in the Eastern Continent. Right now, it was just a matter of waiting for Tian Jun's actions to face an opponent without the support of Queen Shima and the Eastern Continent.
Tian Jun stood on the edge of the Dragon Spaceship safety fence, looking towards the West, looking at the enemy troops led by the Swordsman and Emperor Yao, they still had not moved back.
The silent Tian Jun made everyone reluctant to start talking. Many wanted to be spoken of after the dimensional portal that became the fast transport for reinforcements was destroyed, but the desire to speak was hard to utter, as if his soul wanted to be silent.
"If they don't attack, it's us who attack," Tian Jun melted the silence, but his words surprised everyone.
How not to be surprised, the opposing forces in the West numbered more than 800 thousand personnel, not to mention the Dark Forces reached more than three million soldiers. While on his side the overall number of soldiers was no more than two million four hundred thousand fighters, it already included cultivators, puppets and Beast Troops.
Not to mention the opposing side in the East, where the Dark Forces doubled in number, it was clearly impossible for it to defeat them despite having deployed all the military power that existed.
"How can we beat them? Survival is the best solution! By defending, we can reduce the number of opponents, and there is a possibility that we win even if we have to sacrifice a lot!" the interruption of the Fang King was logical, in accordance with the calculations of the military strength of both sides.
"True, surviving is the best solution! By not attacking directly will reduce our losses. Gathering here and defending together would be more effective against an opponent who won an amount!" patriarch Fang's Support.
"Dragon Spaceship," said Miao Miao.
"Able to withstand attacks of True Delta level. Awesome, right?" mu Bingyun.
"With such a high speed reaching Mach 10, who could catch up to him?" added Chu Sying while taking out the White Pigeon Shadow Technique, and herself hid in the shadow of Tian Jun.
"His two cannon weapons were able to subvert the power of the Half Theta Level. Even if it's one ship, we can reduce the number of opponents!" close Wang Mei.
Tian Jun turned around and smiled looking at Miao Miao who understood his thoughts, which was eventually followed by the three members of the Phoenix Team describing the prowess of the Dragon Spaceship.
"Reducing opponents before the full moon ... If we wait for them to attack... Let's just say their military strength has doubled, are we ready to withstand their onslaught?"
Tian Jun's wish supported by Team Phoenix, let alone revealing the Dragon Spaceship's prowess, finally all the leaders understood his purpose and supported him.
Tian Jun planned to reduce the number of opposing forces, especially to reduce the number of cultivators and warriors that were harder to defeat than the Dark Forces.
As before, Patriarch Fang gathered strong people who numbered 540 souls, already including Team Phoenix in the count. While Patriarch Fang, King Fang, King Ming, the generals and palace officials remained in the defensive fort.
Just as the Dragon Spaceship was about to advance, one of the guard soldiers of the defensive wall shouted loudly, informing him that some important people from the West were approaching the defensive fort.
Tian Jun immediately shot towards the West on the defensive wall, and landed on it. All the important people immediately followed, landing behind and beside him.
Everyone looked at the Swordsman, King Niao and Emperor Yao, behind them were 100 strong people who were on average from the Flower of Death Pavilion.
They stopped before entering into the magic trap created by the members of the Yin Yang Magic Academy. It seemed that they already knew of a trap, and did not surprise Tian Jun and his supporters.
"Detach Prince Yimin, Prince Qi and Empress Kwan Liiu!" Swordsman expressed the purpose of representing the leaders because they became a mainstay.
He looked at Xia Junsu who was standing on Tian Zhi's right side. However, Xia Junsu threw away his face because he did not like the Swordsman ever since he became a high-ranking officer in the Xia Empire. Especially now, the more hateful it is to support the enemy.
"What's in it for us?" ask Tian Jun.
"Very lucky! I will not kill you, but I will take the Jade Emperor's Stamp and all your treasures!" replied the Swordsman who seemed to be able to defeat Tian Jun.
That confidence was because his strength was far above Tian Jun, and also had a myriad of experience fighting against many strong cultivators with all sorts of advantages. Facing Tian Jun who was only 18 years old, was like fighting a child.
Tian Jun looked at the Magical Academy's Chief Law Officer named Ceng Fuzhu. Chairman Chen understood, and immediately ordered his subordinates to take out the two princes of the Niao Kingdom.
Not long after four people dragged the two princes. Everyone gave way to the two princes who were tied up with iron chains.
Tian Jun tightly gripped Prince Yimin's neck, and lifted him forward, ready to be dropped from the top of the fortress. Prince Yimin was clearly thrashing to escape the clutches of his hands, but his cultivation base was sealed so it did not have the strength to escape.
His actions sparked the anger of King Niao and the officials of the Niao Imperial Palace. They said swear words for Tian Jun to release the crown prince.
"These two losers would still be alive if the Niao Empire side did not interfere with Empress Kwan... Depending on you, if you attack us, his life I guarantee is tormented!" tian Jun Threat, the purpose of negotiating with King Niao and Emperor Yao.
Suddenly a black fog appeared between the Swordsman and Emperor Yao who immediately retreated. That black fog became the figure of the old man and woman, who were none other than Ancestor Yao and Niao Wushi.
Xia Junsu immediately retreated, and darted towards the Dragon Spaceship. Then followed by Team Phoenix and everyone's choice. Then, Xia Junsu moved the Dragon Spaceship closer to Tian Jun in a transverse position, the two cannon weapons locking onto the opponent. Team Phoenix and everyone on the deck of the ship raised their bow guns aiming at the opponent.
"You're the Long Kingdom Army's attack!" tian Jun's orders to Team Phoenix using telepathic communication.
Xia Junsu immediately controlled the Dragon Spaceship slowly, he lowered the height of the ship to avoid being seen by the other party. Then rushed to the east.
"Victory requires sacrifice! The crown prince and Empress Kwan are heroes. Kem-!
"They are my sons and not your descendants. Do not arbitrarily decide for yourself their dead lives!" interrupted King Niao before Ancestor Yao finished speaking.
He interrupted the conversation for not wanting his son to be called a hero for the sake of Ancestor Yao's selfishness. And also, he has given up his people who were used as the Dark Forces, but not with his biological children and family.
Ancestor Yao became a black mist and shot towards King Niao who was behind the right side of Emperor Yao. King Niao immediately retreated while about to unleash an energized blow. However, the black fog more quickly penetrated his body.
Everyone stayed away from King Niao who was convulsing from being infected with black fog. Niao Wushi who saw not the slightest bit of pity or anger, because King Niao disrespectfully interrupted Ancestor Yao's conversation.
Niao Wushi also disliked King Niao's less assertive attitude in the kingdom's leader, and the rules were mostly favorable to Yin Yang Magic Academy.
Seeing the prowess and ruthlessness of Ancestor Yao, the Swordsman and his side were clearly frightened, but only in his heart. In the blink of an eye, King Niao's body turned black. After which, Ancestor Yao exited his body, and returned to being his original form.
King Niao immediately knelt a warrior-style before Ancestor Yao. "Ready to take orders!" said it.
"About if it's not profitable!" replied the Swordsman resolutely without any fear of Ancestor Yao's ruthless methods.
"Betting me back must be profitable. But, profits also require effort and cooperation," said Ancestor Yao who assuredly.
Then looking towards Tian Jun, he saw everyone supporting his enemy. There was a sense of pride for showing his prowess to the other party. However, he was astonished to see the thinly smiling Tian Jun as if mocking him.
"So this loser doesn't need to live anymore?" tian Jun asked Ancestor Yao.
"Because of women, they're useless. Just kill!" ancestor Yao replied firmly.
He knew that Prince Yimin and Prince Qi were disobeying his plans and became a mess, all because of the fight over Lao Yung's heart. Had the two princes remained to act according to orders, he would not have had to resort to more ruthless actions.
Tian Jun broke Prince Yimin's neck before everyone's eyes, then dropped him. The officials of the Niao Kingdom palace held back his anger as the crown prince was assassinated in plain sight. All they could do was shed tears of sadness.
The Prince of Qi was thrashing when Tian Jun saw him. However, as his mouth was gagged, his cultivation base was sealed, and his body was tied with chains, he could not move away from it.
"Agod! Please forgive!" beg the Prince of Qi while banging his head to bleed, luckily he can still communicate telepathically with Tian Jun.
"They're just victims!" Patriarch Fang felt pity to see Prince Qi fared the same as Prince Yimin.
Tian Jun looked at all the supporters who asked him not to kill the Prince of Qi. Killing Prince Yimin was more than enough. However, Tian Jun recalled his teacher's message of not allowing to release the enemy.
However, come to think of it, Prince Qi and Prince Yimin were indeed only victims. They are young and easy to follow orders, especially for the sake of their future. Moreover, if he were to kill the Prince of Qi, it would be just like the ruthless Ancestor Yao, and his actions would also affect the confidence of his supporters.
"Destroy his cultivation base, then he can be free!" tian Jun's Decree.
Patriarch Fang smiled as he patted his son-in-law's shoulder. "There are times when it can be cruel not to be underestimated. There are times when you should be able to think wisely without being affected by selfishness alone!" The compliment.
Chief Ceng Fuzhu immediately struck the Prince of Qi's stomach with his palm. The Prince of Qi was in a lot of pain because his dantian was destroyed, yet he was trying to endure the pain.
While shedding tears, he banged his head as a form of gratitude for being released. Despite being an ordinary human being, it was at least better than having to die like her brother.
Then, the two warriors took out the Prince of Qi through the cliff path of the Snake Valley. A few of the crown prince's bodyguards immediately shot towards the cliff path. After being released, the Prince of Qi ran with all his might towards the West.
Unfortunately, apart from death, but his fate was truly unlucky, the Prince of Qi was mired into the Gorge of Hell. The guards immediately helped her, not caring about the risk she was about to face...
Tian Jun took out Empress Kwan from within the Soul World, his condition was also the same as the Prince of Qi, in chains, the cultivation base was sealed and the mouth was gagged with cloth. Empress Kwan stared intently at Tian Jun's face.
"Is this beautiful woman also worthless?" tian Jun asked Emperor Yao and Ancestor Yao.
"Take my wife off, whatever you ask I'll give you!" please Emperor Yao who does not want to lose his beloved wife, the only woman who has always accompanied him since young before becoming emperor.
"My request is simple. Leave the Middle Continent together with your troops!" tian Jun Wish.
"No way!? You ...!" reject Ancestor Yao and stop talking as Emperor Yao kneels before him.
"Please, just let me make a decision once. Help me!" please Emperor Yao, actions have been done all along.
Ancestor Yao's body trembled as it held back anger and also pity for his descendants. He stared intently at Tian Jun while thinking hard.
"You... A useless grandson!!"
Ancestor Yao kicked Emperor Yao in the stomach so hard that it rolled around. As his dantian was destroyed by his ancestor, his physique quickly grew old.
Empress Kwan shed tears of sorrow seeing her husband become like this in order to save her. Suddenly, he destroyed his own dantian for the sake of his love for the husband.
Patriarch Fang and everyone else were in a daze at the tragic fate experienced by Emperor Yao and Empress Kwan. Then, two soldiers brought the unconscious Empress Kwan. The two soldiers handed Empress Kwan over to Emperor Yao.
"The Imperial forces are under my command. You two get out of front of me!?" drive out Ancestor Yao, then look back at his enemy on top of the defensive wall.
Emperor Yao hurriedly took his wife and went towards the West. Quietly, a few loyal people followed him without a trace of Ancestor Yao.
"Now, there's nothing more to negotiate. Night is your death! Ahaha!"
After speaking to his enemy, Ancestor Yao hugged Niao Wushi's waist, they became a black mist and disappeared. His loud voice of laughter made the people in the fortress shiver in fear.
After the departure of Ancestor Yao and Niao Wushi, Tian Jun used the Communication Snail, he ordered the Phoenix Team to retreat before Ancestor Yao gathered with his troops.
King Niao and his supporters immediately returned to the gathering place of the Dark Forces. Remaining Swordsman and the members of the Death Flower Pavilion who did not leave.
The Swordsman stared intently at Tian Jun, and said, "i challenge you!"
Tian Jun stored the Communication Snail. Then answering the Swordsman's challenge, "our powers are out of balance!"
"I can adjust the strength. Show me your strength!" the Swordsman's lover, his goal was to get Tian Jun out of the defensive fortress.
"Don't accept the challenge!" prevent the Patriarch Fang who memorized the Swordsman's lunge.
"Look down, Dad!" Tian Jun convinced Patriarch Fang.
"What good is it that I accept your challenge?" ask him to the Swordsman.
The Swordsman pulled the middle-tier Dimensional Ring from the ring finger of the right hand. Then showed it to Tian Jun while replying, "my heart is here. I estimate, all my wealth is 170 billion gold coins. You simply risked the Jade Emperor's Stamp!"
The members of the Flower of Death Pavilion were stunned because the Swordsman possessed a lot of wealth. If the Swordsman was weak, it was certain that they would seize him and leave the Middle Continent.
