Chapter 1657 We Can Withstand

Fairyland, Cuibo Lake.

The wind blew wildly across the vast lake, creating huge waves one after another, which were then shattered by the murderous force.

"After the Cuibo Lake, we will reach Twilight Island. Once we reach Twilight Island, we can take a breath. It will be very difficult for the demons to attack Twilight Island in the empty Cuibo Lake."

After listening to what the deputy general beside him said, the Emperor wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded.

"Give the order to let the seriously injured go to Twilight Island first. You guys should follow me from behind to hold the line. Don't let yourselves slow down our progress."

"Yes, Emperor!"

The deputy general who received the order quickly made arrangements, while the Emperor of Heaven slowed down the pace with the strongest team around him, fighting and retreating, and soon fell to the end of the army.

At this moment, a mocking voice came from behind, echoing across the lake.

"Tsk tsk tsk, who is that person in front? How did he escape so miserably? It's hard to tell what he originally looked like."

Hearing the voice, the Emperor of Heaven turned around with an ugly expression, only to see the Demon Lord chasing after him with his big knife. He held the knife in his left hand and a bloody head in his right hand. The owner of the head was none other than his subordinate.

Seeing this, the subordinates around the Emperor of Heaven wanted to turn back and fight excitedly, but were stopped by the Emperor of Heaven.

"Emperor Tian, ​​that's my brother! I..."

"Hold it."

"But we have fought together for so many years, and now he..."

"I said bear with it!"

The Emperor of Heaven scolded and interrupted him directly.

Facing his red eyes and ferocious face, the Emperor of Heaven said, "Do you think I don't want to fight? What kind of a person is the Demon Lord opposite? I have been practicing for 100,000 years. When I became the Heaven and Earth, he was not even born yet! With his little practice, am I afraid of him? Do I want to endure it?"

The subordinates of the Emperor of Heaven, the eight-foot-tall men whose bodies were covered in blood, could not control themselves and burst into tears.

"We are right in front of us, Twilight Island. If he doesn't come to provoke us, why would we stay? If we stay and fall into their trap, what will happen to the seriously injured immortal soldiers behind us? Who will take care of them? If the front line can't hold up, what will they do with this huge immortal clan, so many women and children?"

The Emperor of Heaven roared, "Ignore them, retreat to Twilight Continent!"

The subordinate suppressed his emotions and stood up straight: "Yes! Emperor of Heaven!"

The Emperor clenched his fists and slowed down his steps, so he became the last one in the rear guard.

He was the first one to block the attack from the demon army behind him, including the pursuing Demon Lord. He stared at them intently. He wanted to protect his immortal army and retreat to Twilight Island.

"Isn't this the Emperor of Heaven? How come you are running so fast? Weren't you arrogant when you suppressed our demon clan? Why are you all like rats crossing the street now? Where is your backbone? Where is your strength? Where is the arrogance that treated people as human beings? Show it out!"

When the Demon Lord shouted, the demons around him immediately started laughing.

"Take it out!"

"Fuck the dog!"

"Coward!"

"Cartilage!"

"Hahaha…"

The Emperor's grip on the sword became tighter and tighter, but in the end it turned into a powerful force that slashed into the surface of Cui Bo Lake, causing a huge wave that separated the demons behind him from the retreating immortals.

When the lake water splashed up and formed a short-lived barrier, the immortals retreated to Twilight Island one after another.

"Emperor of Heaven, if you can retreat to Twilight Continent, can you also retreat to the back of the entire fairyland? If you retreat further, you will have nowhere to retreat."

Those were the last words that the Emperor of Heaven heard from the Demon Lord before he went to Dusklight Continent. His heart sank when he heard them.

On Cui Bo Lake, the demons looked far ahead at Twilight Island.

"Demon Lord, should we chase after him?"

"Don't be in a hurry. It will be very difficult to attack from this position, and we may even lose more than we gain. Besides, it's getting dark soon. Pass the order down, everyone retreat, go ashore to rest, and wait for the order for the next attack."

"Yes, Demon Lord!"

Twilight Island.

The immortals who had just arrived on the continent quickly set up a barrier on Twilight Island to ensure that they would have time to respond when the demons attacked at the first opportunity.

"Emperor, the demon army on Cuibo Lake has retreated. They should be going back to rest and prepare for the next attack."

The Emperor nodded and sat down on a stone at the edge of Twilight Island. After these days of running around and fighting, he was no longer the same Emperor who used to sit high up in the hall, delicate and particular about everything.

The afterglow of the setting sun

"How many casualties were there this time?"

The deputy general looked so unhappy that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"There's nothing to hide."

So he handed a list to the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven looked down, and his brows, which had never been relaxed, now wrinkled even deeper.

"If it weren't for the Demon Suppression Tower incident, the Purple Star Emperor... the traitor Purple Star trapped us in the Demon Suppression Tower and persecuted us, causing us to suffer heavy losses. We wouldn't have had such a hard time fighting! The demons aren't that powerful after all!"

"Don't keep talking about the past. If you talk too much and get caught up in useless emotions, you'll lose sight of the present, which is the most important thing."

The deputy general looked at the Emperor and opened his mouth, but finally swallowed his words back.

"We should first arrange treatment for the injured. Twilight Island can hold out for a while until support arrives from the rear. Then we will have a chance."

"yes."

The deputy general turned around and ran downstairs to arrange the follow-up matters. At this time, another deputy general ran up and bowed to the Emperor of Heaven.

"Emperor of Heaven, the coalition forces of the various immortal palaces on the left side were defeated while resisting the pursuit led by Leng Mingchuan, and suffered heavy losses."

"Leng Mingchuan? This name sounds familiar."

"Leng Mingchuan is the eldest son of the Demon Lord and the High Prince of the Demon Clan. He and the Demon Lord's second daughter, Leng Fangfei, are both very outstanding and are both good at leading troops in battle.

In those days, they often competed for the strongest and constantly improved their strength, so that both of them became stronger and stronger. Later, Leng Fangfei died in the Soul-Breaking Mountain, and Leng Mingchuan took control of the soldiers she left behind, many of whom were elite.

So the Immortal Palace coalition was somewhat unable to resist and was in a very difficult situation, so..."

"So what? Stop hemming and hawing!"

"So they asked you if they could... lend them some troops to go over there."

The Emperor of Heaven, who was sitting on the stone, had his brows furrowed even more.

When he didn't speak, both of them could feel that the air between them seemed to be stagnant, making it hard to breathe.

"Yes, you can send another team over to our place."

"But Heavenly Emperor, we are the main force on the front line. We are resisting the strongest elite of the demon army and the demon clan. We can hardly hold on any longer. If we send more troops over at this time, I'm afraid..."

"You can borrow it if I ask you to. I will find a way to handle this."

"Can…"

"Don't worry! I haven't fallen yet. I won't let the demon's sword swing on the heads of all the immortals!"
