Chapter 140 Chapter 140 "Tit for tat."...
At the junction of winter and spring, the sun rises brightly and all things come to life.
The warm light should have been shining, but Jiu Zhao could not feel any warmth at all.
She lowered her eyes to gaze at the crimson dress on her body, and suddenly realized that fate had repeated a similar scene.
What hurt her was a highest-level divine magic array. Even if Ying Luo tried her best, she could only stop the bleeding, and the severe pain still followed her.
Jiu Zhao had lost the opportunity to use the magic circle to trap Wu Shao. Now he could only obey the decree of the Father God and barely stand up by holding on to the peach tree behind him.
"Your Highness, please be careful—"
Ying Luo's furrowed brows never relaxed for a moment.
His eyes followed Jiu Zhao without blinking. He reached out to support her, but she turned her shoulder away.
"You know, there are some things I have to do alone."
After speaking softly, Jiu Zhao summoned the Divine Whip and came to the side of the Divine Emperor.
Glancing sideways at Jiu Zhao's condition, the God Emperor nodded slightly and whispered, "At least you haven't disappointed me too much."
On the other side, Xi Huan and Yi Shan were still fighting with Wu Shao.
The blue-green water divine light and the dark brown earth divine light intertwined together, attacking Wu Shao, who was surrounded by the Nirvana Phoenix.
The God Emperor then exchanged glances with the four God Kings, and once again gathered the power of the five elements to recast the Anti-Demon Punishment Formation.
Jiu Zhao had her own mission to complete. She held the divine whip in her hand and looked for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Wu Shao.
But after seeing so much, she had to admit that her use of Nirvana Phoenix Fire was not even one percent of Wu Shao's.
When advancing, it can attach to Liexiao to attack, and when retreating, it can turn into a barrier for defense.
With Wu Shao's agile and tricky movements, the situation gradually turned around, and the two gods seemed to be at a disadvantage.
...He is worthy of being the most powerful god of war in the history of Sanqingtian.
Putting aside his hatred, Jiu Zhao gradually understood why, under the leadership of Wu Shao, the Burning Sea almost overturned the Three Realms that day.
"Yishan, after serving as the High God of Punishment for so many years, I imagine you've become accustomed to a comfortable life. Your divine skills have regressed to this point—"
Lie Xiao flew back and forth between the two gods, becoming a powerful helper to Wu Shao.
Wu Shao raised his hand and confronted the approaching Yishan. At the same time, he controlled the sword to go around Xihuan and strike him from the side.
He once held a position above everyone else in the Three Pure Heavens, and was a close colleague of several gods.
The seemingly careless words become another means of confusing the soul.
Jiu Zhao's eyes widened, caught off guard by hearing that Ye Shen Xi Huan and the leader of the Nanling Haitang tribe were a same-sex couple, that the wife of the Side God Sui You was not in harmony with him but had lovers, and that in the past, the Nine-tailed Fox led his tribe to betray the Three Pure Ones and return to the Burning Sea, and that there were many secrets of love between gods and demons.
“That’s enough!”
Xi Huan, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, roared out the thoughts of all the gods present.
It was also the first time that Jiu Zhao realized that the Sanqingtian, which had many shortcomings in her memory, actually looked much better than she had imagined.
boom!
Soon, the secret suddenly revealed, and Xi Huan, already distraught, was caught off guard. Her eyes flickered, and her strength ran out. During the clash of divine arts, she couldn't dodge the attack of the Nirvana Phoenix Fire. Wu Shao, with his full power, slapped her away, and her body smashed through three peach trees, but she still couldn't stop.
Jiu Zhao was extremely anxious.
If this situation continues, the defeat of Mount Yi is only a matter of time.
She turned her head, trying to find a reliable candidate to fill Xi Huan's position from the crowd around the God Emperor.
But suddenly he saw a trace of blood flowing down from the corner of his father's lips, who was always powerful and incomparable.
The blood was an ominous dark red hue, clearly not an internal injury.
More like—
"Father God, what's wrong with you?!"
Because of concern, Jiu Zhao was confused. By the time he realized that he shouldn't have lost his voice and asked, it was too late.
The sharp-eared Wu Shao immediately turned his gaze outside the battle.
Seeing the God Emperor vomiting blood, his brows relaxed and he laughed heartily: "Sichen, Sichen, how does this Candle Dragon poison that has been buried in your body for so long taste? No matter what, you can't imagine that this poison was given to you by your daughter herself -
"You used my sister to plot against me in the past, and now you're being harmed by the person closest to you. Isn't this just tit-for-tat—"
Jiu Zhao could understand every word of Wu Shao's words if he broke them down.
But when put together, it formed a terrible meaning that she couldn't understand.
Jiu Zhao's voice trembled. She raised her hand and pointed at Wu Shao: "What are you talking about?"
A vague image flashed through her mind rapidly. Wu Zhu, the dragon-man with a human face, was now entangled with the God Emperor instead of her.
Jiu Zhao asked Wu Shao to explain himself clearly.
However, Wu Shao, who was so sinister, refused to utter a single word.
The effect of his psychological attack reached its peak at this moment.
All eyes from all directions were cast towards Jiu Zhao.
Doubt, disappointment, hatred, astonishment...
If all these emotions could take shape, they would surely suppress her like a towering mountain.
"Wu Shao, Wu Shao is talking nonsense, I didn't—"
"Zhao'er, facing the enemy's schemes, your heart must not be disturbed."
The God Emperor interrupted her.
His lips opened and closed for a few breaths, and another stream of black blood oozed out.
He calmly reminded Jiu Zhao to keep his mind pure and composed, then raised his voice and commanded the other immortals with authority, "Everyone, perform your duties and do not leave without permission!"
Before he finished speaking, the North God King Chongli and the East God King Zhaoyu, who were standing behind the God Emperor side by side with the West and South God Kings, gathered their strength and joined their palms to attack him from behind.
The divine power that protected the body only had time to illuminate for a moment before it was shattered by the deadly force—
There was a dull thud as the body was hit.
The God Emperor fell forward, and the blood that spurted out uncontrollably fell on Jiu Zhao's front.
It was as if someone had suddenly stopped time.
This unexpected change happened in a split second, turning into slow motion, frozen in time, and struck Jiu Zhao's eyes.
My mind went blank.
It was the only reaction she could make when she was extremely frightened.
The God Emperor's massive body collapsed into Jiu Zhao's arms like an overturned river. The two of them embraced each other and stumbled back a few steps. Only when his arms firmly supported him did Jiu Zhao realize that this man, who wielded supreme power in the Three Realms, had become so haggard and gaunt.
With their wills restored, the two groups of immortal soldiers who had been silently following each other were caught in a melee.
Since the North God King and the East God King have already taken action, they will naturally cut the weeds completely and will not let her, the next God Emperor of Sanqingtian, go.
They joined forces to approach, but were stopped by two other God Kings.
"Your Highness, take the throne with you and quickly use the divine command to break the restrictions and escape. The army led by the Supreme God Suiyou is lying in ambush on all four sides of Shengluantai—"
"Go tell them that the Northern Divine King and the Eastern Divine King are in rebellion. Tell him to come and support them!"
The Southern God King threw out the peony jade pendant on his waist, and a divine light appeared. A huge translucent peony flower enveloped the two enemies.
She knew she couldn't keep them trapped for too long, so she sent a message to Fuxu while turning back to urge Jiuzhao, who was still a little dazed.
Behind her and the Western God King, Zhu Yan was still standing there without moving.
Compared to Meng Chu, who still didn't understand what was happening and looked panic-stricken, Zhu Yan's face had a kind of indifference as if he knew everything very well.
He looked at Jiu Zhao from afar through countless people.
"Zhu Yan!"
Jiu Zhao called out subconsciously.
She still had one last glimmer of hope in her heart.
Maybe it was a conspiracy by their parents to cause rebellion, and Zhu Yan, her bedmate, was unaware of it.
But the words of the Northern God King quickly shattered her hope:
"Ayan, are you still harboring resentment?!"
He only cared about his wife and son. Facing Zhu Yan, a man who never gave a word, he didn't even look at Meng Chu who was standing there blankly. He roared loudly like a father who was disappointed in his son, his eyes full of regret and ferocity, "Never forget, at whose hands your mother died—"
Two more sentences that she didn't understand.
Jiu Zhao opened his mouth, but saw that after hearing the word "mother", Zhu Yan's expression suddenly showed unprecedented determination.
The immortal power surged like the sea, and a pitch-black long zither appeared out of thin air.
Zhu Yan's sleeves were filled with sweat, and he crossed his legs off the ground, his slender fingertips plucking the strings quickly.
Layer upon layer of sound waves hit the eardrums of the immortal soldiers who had not rebelled. Those of lower rank covered their ears angrily and fell down screaming.
He proved his position with silent actions.
Jiu Zhao's eyes lost focus.
The vivid and beautiful pictures in my memory faded away.
She breathed heavily, her heart feeling like it was being squeezed by a giant hand.
From the fall of the Father God to Zhu Yan's betrayal, everything made her breathless.
Unfortunately, she didn't even have the qualifications to show a moment of grief.
Holding the God Emperor with one hand, Jiu Zhao staggered and ran towards the outskirts of the peach forest. During this time, his hands shook several times before he managed to untie the divine order from the belt.
Divine orders can dissolve all restrictions.
This is a fact that Jiu Zhao has verified countless times.
She did not forget to erect a defensive barrier first, and then, tremblingly, she pressed the divine command infused with the power of the Father God into the brilliant light that isolated the entrance and exit passages.
However, the ban remained motionless.
Jiu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then raised the divine order again and pressed it in.
Still useless.
She seemed to be in the most desperate situation.
The North God King and the East God King must have planned the rebellion long ago, which is why they secretly made some changes when they cast the ban.
With her celestial strength, there is no way she can resist the magic spells created by the gods and kings.
Jiu Zhao looked back and saw that the Southern God King and the Western God King were extremely anxious and could not free their hands at all.
For now, she could only hope to awaken the half-body divine power in her dantian.
In this time of chaos and war.
The wound that she had just managed to stop healing began to break and bleed again due to the large movements.
What’s even worse is the severely traumatized heart.
Warm tears quickly accumulated in the corners of his eyes. Jiu Zhao wiped them away with his backhand and forced himself to concentrate in the severe pain.
Even if she sacrifices her life, she will protect her father.
…
Perhaps the situation is urgent, or perhaps the desire is strong enough.
This time, the shackles surrounding the dantian were successfully broken through.
The blue-green light belonging to divine power penetrated through his meridians. Jiu Zhao spread out his palms, and a surge of endless power gushed out.
She was delighted, held the God Emperor tightly, and quickly cast a spell to attack the barrier.
At the same time, something suddenly rushed over from the side:
"Your Highness, be careful--!!!"
