Peerless War God

She felt a bit helpless, and she smiled bitterly before saying, “I never expected that even though I had planned for this for a long time, I would end up being a burden to others.”    

“Good disciple, you’ll be fine. Don’t worry, as long as this old man is here, no one will be able to harm you.”    

Zhou Kuang said in a deep voice, and he stared coldly at the rogue cultivators in the surroundings with a threatening gaze.    

The Ice Phoenix shook her head. She was very clear about her own situation.    

If she did not treat her injuries in time, then she would probably die here.    

Thinking up to here, she calmed down instead. “Old Kuang, leave this place first. Protect me, and treat your injuries first.”    

Zhou Kuang clenched his teeth. Even though he was a bit unwilling, the safety of the Ice Phoenix was more important. If something happened to her, then it would be difficult to explain it when she returned to the sect.    

“Alright, let’s go.”    

Zhou Kuang immediately escorted the Ice Phoenix and left the Ice Essence Spring, in order to avoid becoming the target of everyone.    

After Zhou Kuang escorted the Ice Phoenix and left, the other cultivators of the Demon God Hall did not stay any longer.    

Such a change caused Zhong Kai and the others to be slightly surprised.    

“The Ice Phoenix has left? It seems like her injuries aren’t light.”    

A cultivator from the Immortal Artifact Sect by his side said coldly.    

Zhong Kai nodded. “She used the power of her inner core to forcefully break through the ice seal, and her body suffered a backlash. She was also injured by a sword, so her injuries are naturally not good.”    

“Heh, it’s our luck as well. If that sneak attack from before was directed at us, the consequences would be unpredictable.”    

One of his companions said with a face full of fear.    

“Yeah, have you guys noticed the origins of the person who launched the sneak attack from before? What cultivation technique did he use?”    

The three of them exchanged glances and shook their heads.    

“I can’t tell. The other party only executed a single strike, and when he saw that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately fled far away. He’s a decisive person.”    

One of his companions said.    

“Looks like the person who launched the sneak attack should have a deep grudge with the Demon God Palace. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such a great risk to launch a sneak attack, and he would have almost succeeded.”    

Another companion echoed.    

Zhong Kai nodded and said, “Heh, the matter of the Demon God Palace has nothing to do with us. Let’s go, we’ll enter the spring and seize the dragon corpse. We can’t let others seize it before us.”    

Hearing this, the eyes of the three companions lit up. “Yes, Senior Brother.”    

“Haha, since Zhou Kuang was forced to leave, then this dragon corpse belongs to us.”    

“Exactly. With Senior Brother Zhong here, who would dare to seize the dragon corpse? Kill them all.”    

“Right.”    

Without Zhou Kuang, Zhong Kai was the strongest amongst the cultivators present, so it was no wonder that they were filled with confidence.    

That was Han Lanyong’s dragon corpse, and its entire body was filled with treasures, especially its inner core. It was a rare top-grade treasure, and if it was refined, it would be able to obtain a top-grade Mysterious Divine Spirit Artifact, and it was no trifling matter.    

When he thought up to here, Zhong Kai glanced at the restless rogue cultivators in the surroundings and said, “This dragon corpse and the spring will belong to my Immortal Artifact Sect. Those who dare to approach will be killed without mercy.”    

When these words came out, the surrounding cultivators were shocked. The originally restless rogue cultivators were also stunned and stopped in their tracks.    

"This..."    

"The Immortal Weapon Sect is too domineering. They actually want to monopolize the spring."    

"Hmph, Zhong Kai, you're too arrogant. You are only four people, yet you want to monopolize the benefits of the Ice Marrow Spring. Dream on."    

The rogue cultivators were filled with righteous indignation. Some of them could not help but start cursing.    

However, although the rogue cultivators cursed in an unpleasant manner, none of them dared to step forward.    

They all knew that Zhong Kai's strength was astonishing. If he were to be provoked, the consequences would be very terrible. They were all hesitant and did not dare to make a move.    

Zhong Kai sneered when he saw this, and said, "If you dare to step forward, I will kill you without mercy. In the future, my Immortal Weapon Sect will definitely annihilate your entire sect. Not a single one of you will be left alive."    

Zhong Kai's threatening words were filled with killing intent, and it immediately shocked the crowd of rogue cultivators.    

The rogue cultivators looked at each other in dismay and retreated.    

"Heh, you are indeed a rogue cultivator. You are a pile of loose sand. You are rotten mud that cannot support a wall. There are clearly twenty people, yet you are scared by a mere four people. Truly laughable."    

In his soul sea, Xi Luo sneered.    

Chen Xiao shook his head. Twenty people against four people, they were all cowering in fear. It was truly laughable.    

This was the case for rogue cultivators. They did not dare to stand out, and they were even less united. They were all stunned.    

If this continued, there would be no more chances.    

The opportunity was fleeting. He had to seize it.    

"Looks like I have to do it. Otherwise, none of these rogue cultivators will dare to stand up for themselves."    

Chen Xiao said coldly.    

"Oh, what do you plan to do?"    

"Use a clone."    

"Clone? Good idea."    

"Hehe, what are you waiting for?"    

In midair, Zhong Kai glanced around and saw that his words had intimidated all the rogue cultivators, and his face was filled with disdain.    

"They are all scattered, so they won't be able to become a force. They deserve to be trampled by the cultivators of the Nine Sects. How laughable."    

He thought in his heart.    

After that, he said, "The three of you guard the outside. I'll go collect the dragon corpse and investigate further."    

"Alright, Senior Brother, don't worry. These cowardly rogue cultivators won't dare to do anything."    

His companion sneered.    

"Alright."    

Immediately, Zhong Kai did not say anything else and plunged into the spring below, pouncing towards the bottom of the cold pond to retrieve the dragon corpse and make his plans.    

The three Immortal Artifact Sect elders stood in a square formation with their backs facing the spring, staring coldly at the group of rogue cultivators with vigilant expressions.    

"This is too much bullying."    

"What are you all afraid of? They are only three people. Let's attack together and fight them to the death. We can't let Zhong Kai take all the treasures alone."    

"Why don't you go up first and we follow?"    

"No, if we want to go up, we have to go up together."    

Not far away, the group of rogue cultivators were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They kept cursing, but no one dared to be the first bird.    

Sure enough, the words that Zhong Kai had just said were extremely powerful.    

They also knew very well that if they really offended the Immortal Weapon Sect, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not only would they be chased to the ends of the earth, they would also implicate their family's power, and the gains would not be worth the losses.    

"What a piece of trash, a pile of loose sand."    

Seeing this, Xi Luo became even angrier.    

Chen Xiao chuckled and said, "It's my turn to make a move. Clone, go."    

In the next moment, a black shadow carrying a blood-colored light drilled out from a distant shadow. It was the blood clone.    

At this moment, the clone was wearing armor that covered his face, so it was impossible to see his face.    

The clone stood in the air and scolded, "A bunch of pig-like things, a pile of loose sand. A mere four people scared you guys. Serves you right to be trampled under your feet for the rest of your lives. Riches come from danger. If you don't fight for it, how can you have the opportunity of a rogue cultivator like me? Fight for it."    

The clone scolded angrily, and then pounced forward without hesitation, charging towards one of the Immortal Weapon Sect cultivators.    

"You're courting death."    

The Immortal Weapon Sect cultivator used a flying needle. With a raise of his hand, a sky full of flying needles attacked the blood clone, blocking his path.    

When the clone saw this, he took out an Explosive Talisman and threw it out.    

Boom!    

With a loud sound, the terrifying Explosive Talisman swept out, creating a huge commotion. A terrifying mushroom cloud rose up, and the Immortal Weapon Sect cultivator was repelled.
