Chapter 2230: Chaos Rises, Direct Confrontation
Yao Yulou and others broke through to this point, exactly as Sikong Jing had set... the position for Old Xiu to receive them.
Xiu Hanzi, Su Yue Immortal, and others immediately activated the support troops they had set up in advance, tearing the pursuing Thousand King soldiers to shreds under the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation of Old Xiu...
And these troops, of course, were not led personally by Pei Kuang, but were stationed outside the Ten Emperor Cities.
Pei Kuang’s main force was still in pursuit.
However... buzz!
Pei Kuang suddenly appeared, bringing Lady Li and the Golden Fierce Battle Dragon with him, appearing in front of Yao Yulou and Old Xiu. Pei Kuang had paid a huge price with a gray transmission stone to teleport here.
Pei Kuang intended to use three Holy Martials to block everyone.
Then wait for the main forces of Thousand King to gather and surround them...
Unfortunately, when Pei Kuang teleported out, his expression froze because he saw Old Xiu.
At this moment, Old Xiu looked at Pei Kuang with a sinister and terrifying gaze, shouting coldly, "All opponents of Thousand King, join my Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, let’s blast Pei Kuang to death. I was waiting for him... to teleport here."
With these words, the golden Soldier Killing Array Pattern flew out from under Old Xiu’s feet, connecting with Qu Hanming and others.
And it was clear from Old Xiu’s words that he was well prepared...
Indeed, well prepared. Sikong Jing had already informed Old Xiu before advancing into the Thousand Kings Territory that if Pei Kuang couldn’t catch up, he would surely teleport to block their breakout.
So Old Xiu, acting decisively...
With the terrifying eruption of his Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, connecting with top-level emperors like Qu Hanming around.
The Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation immediately reached its peak in horror!
At the same time... clang!
Yao Yulou’s sword emanated a blood-red light, his voice cold and piercing as he said, "Pei Kuang, I want you dead!"
Such a scene immediately frightened Pei Kuang.
If it were just Yao Yulou, Pei Kuang wouldn’t be afraid. Even with so many opponents of Thousand King, he was confident he could block them, but Old Xiu’s Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation was a major problem.
The Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation was much stronger than before, due to Sikong Jing’s guidance.
"Kill!"
Not only did Yao Yulou turn red-eyed when seeing Pei Kuang, but so did Qu Hanming and other Thousand King opponents. They almost became sacrifices, nearly wiped out by the Six Clawed Mixed Beast and the gray-clothed middle-aged Ba Zhun.
At this moment, Old Xiu’s Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation brimmed with killing intent, countless opponents of Thousand King filled with immense murderous intent.
Following Old Xiu, they charged towards Pei Kuang and the two others with him.
Pei Kuang clenched his fists, his lips twitching, finally saying viciously, "Let’s go, we can’t resist them head-on."
Without soldiers, Pei Kuang couldn’t form a Soldier Killing Array and naturally couldn’t withstand Old Xiu, Yao Yulou, and others. Ultimately, the two men and one beast fled in embarrassment, wasting vast resources on teleportation.
But Old Xiu certainly didn’t lose his cool. He knew very well that they couldn’t kill Pei Kuang, their goal was still just to break out.
Thus, under Old Xiu’s lead, countless people continued to dash forward with the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation.
On the other hand, Yao Yulou almost lost his calm, truly wanting to kill Pei Kuang for revenge against Jiang Wanyou. Fortunately, his parents were there to forcefully restrain him.
In the end, Pei Kuang could only watch as the crowd broke out and left his Thousand Kings Territory.
"Damn, damn, damn..."
Watching the retreating remnants of Su Old Demon and numerous opponents of Thousand King, Pei Kuang was furious.
Suddenly, he looked at Lady Li beside him... slap!
He slapped her hard across the face, his expression twisted as he said, "It’s all your fault. If you had acted at that time to eliminate Yao Yulou and Little Demon Sikong, we wouldn’t be in this situation now?"
During the battle of the Thousand Prison Tower, Lady Li hadn’t taken action, infuriating Pei Kuang upon reflection!
"You even made me lose the real Youmei Holy Body!"
Mentioning the Youmei Holy Body, Pei Kuang’s rage intensified. If Lady Li had acted then, Yao Yulou wouldn’t have devoured the Youmei Holy Body, nor would there be the Yao Yulou at the Third Stage of Holy Martial now.
All damned, because of Lady Li...
However, Lady Li clutched her face, coldly roaring, "Desire Saint is also your son."
The reason she didn’t act was because she was reviving Pei Yusheng.
With these words, Pei Kuang was even more furious, almost wanting to say, "What is Pei Yusheng to me? I, his father, can even be offered as a sacrifice to the Six Clawed Mixed Beast, what is a son worth?"
However, seeing Lady Li’s hysterical expression, Pei Kuang ultimately suppressed his inner fury.
Given the current situation, he couldn’t afford to lose Lady Li’s help.
He could only suppress his raging emotions, feign apology, and say, "Sorry, I was too agitated, I shouldn’t have blamed you."
After apologizing, his eyes suddenly flashed coldly as he said, "But Madam, I hope you explain clearly about the fact that Desire Saint can devour battle bodies and even sacred bodies of the same origin."
Pei Kuang would not forget this matter. When Sikong Jing exposed it, he had clearly seen the mother and son’s reactions.
Knowing the truth about Pei Yusheng wanting to devour Pei Yupo, it was absolutely true.
And this matter was certainly a thorn in Pei Kuang’s heart.
After the apology, Pei Kuang still intended to use this to pressure Lady Li, to let her know the terror of Pei Kuang.
Upon hearing this, Lady Li’s face showed a hint of panic, and she could only release her hand from her face to murmur, "Husband, I’ll definitely explain this matter clearly. Now let’s first chase after Yao Yulou and the others."
She became submissive again, since she was at fault initially.
Pei Kuang sinisterly smiled in the shadows, not immediately urging Lady Li to explain, but instead ordered the main force to pursue.
...
As days passed, the pursuit by Qianwang Holy Tower continued.
Until Yao Yulou’s breakout squad converged with Overlord Commerce’s troops, temporarily bringing things to a halt... Indeed, the troops of Overlord Commerce had arrived, even led by Murong Jianyun and Venerable Ba Lian.
This meant that for the first time, Qianwang Holy Tower and Overlord Commerce clashed head-on.
Regarding this, Pei Kuang did not retreat.
He loudly ordered an assault on Overlord Commerce’s forces, aiming for a battle to establish power and thus shift the chaotic situation caused by the human-shaped beast and Little Demon Sikong in Qianwang Holy Tower...
But...
When Venerable Ba Lian exploded, Pei Kuang was startled, as the former also reached the Third Stage of Holy Martial.
Murong Jianyun and the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle reached the Second Stage of Holy Martial.
At the same time, the Beicang Tianjue also reached the First Stage of Holy Martial.
Combined with Yao Yulou, the top martial strength of Overlord Commerce could now contend with Qianwang Holy Tower. Though Overlord Commerce still had fewer troops, they had the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Array.
The might of Overlord Commerce was unstoppable!
"Kill!"
The battle commenced, fully erupting in the territory between Overlord Commerce and Qianwang Holy Tower in the Central Central Plains. Major sects from across the world moved in response, some joining Qianwang Holy Tower, others joining Overlord Commerce.
Both sides continuously received reinforcements, the battle reaching a fever pitch.
