Chapter 803 - 669: Breaking the Deadlock
At this moment, the battle is extremely urgent, whether they’re people from the previous dynasty or border soldiers, all reveal a heavy expression.
Even those from the previous dynasty who are confident know that taking down these border soldiers will come at a price.
But they have no choice but to do so now.
Marshal Liu and Emperor Tianwu are fighting together, exchanging blows back and forth.
The aura of the Celestial Human Realm gradually spreads here, neither of them lose focus.
But in this intense battlefield, suddenly a wisp of yellow sand drifts out, immediately bringing everyone back to their senses.
They instinctively glance at the yellow sand, with a trace of doubt flickering in their eyes.
The border is filled with yellow sand, but only this sand is different, with a distinct taste from the other sands.
Moreover, within this yellow sand, there seems to be a figure, slowly approaching.
It’s like a stone thrown into a once calm lake, causing ripples to spread across its surface.
People involuntarily cast their gaze over there.
The crowd distinctly sees the figure behind the yellow sand, its true form gradually revealing itself.
Marshal Liu sees Qin An and a hint of delight flashes in his eyes.
Especially when he sees the round bead in Qin An’s hands, he knows Qin An succeeded in acquiring the Yellow Sand Bead.
And now, with the Yellow Sand Bead, they will be more efficient, possibly able to reverse the current situation.
On the other side, when Emperor Tianwu sees Qin An, a flicker of doubt and solemnity flashes in his eyes.
He was puzzled before coming here, wondering why Qin An hadn’t appeared at the border.
Considering Qin An’s character, he wouldn’t stay away from the border at this crucial moment.
Emperor Tianwu knows Qin An is certainly plotting a major scheme, but for him, no matter what Qin An is up to, he must attack the border.
Thus, he focused solely on fighting Marshal Liu, intent on killing Marshal Liu.
But unexpectedly, amidst such circumstances, Qin An arrived, holding a peculiar bead.
Emperor Tianwu can’t comprehend, but suddenly feels a sense of danger; he thinks he might need to kill Qin An first.
With that thought, Emperor Tianwu immediately swings his long sword, a burst of Sword Qi slashing towards Qin An.
The Sword Qi is like an earth-shattering force, capable of instantly killing even a Manifest Saint Realm expert.
He must kill Qin An first to feel secure.
Unexpectedly, as the Sword Qi was about to strike Qin An, Qin An’s expression remained calm.
Nearby, a long spear suddenly struck, in a few moves, the Sword Qi was turned into a cloud of smoke.
Marshal Liu stands with a spear, slightly shaking his head: "Now is not the time for you to kill Qin An."
He suddenly felt amused because the situation seemed to have changed, a bit reversed.
Initially, he wanted to support the soldiers on the city walls, but Emperor Tianwu strongly obstructed him.
Now, Emperor Tianwu wants to kill Qin An, yet he stands in the way.
The reverse situation signifies that victory is tilting towards his side.
Marshal Liu unhesitatingly shouted: "Qin An, quickly use the Yellow Sand Bead, rest assured, I will keep you safe!"
Qin An also did not hesitate, immediately activating the Yellow Sand Bead.
As soon as the Yellow Sand Bead was activated, a thread of yellow sand burst out from the bead, then spread in all directions.
The terrifying yellow sand initially was just a little bit, but in an instant, it covered the entire border.
All the previous dynasty people covered by the yellow sand, including the Demon Pseudo-Gods, suddenly felt as if pulled by an unknown force.
Immediately, they found themselves in a unique space.
This space is full of yellow sand, stretching endlessly.
Many people from the previous dynasty immediately drew their weapons and attacked all around.
But when their attacks landed on the yellow sand, it only decreased a little.
For the vast amount of yellow sand, this decrease is insignificant.
However, some people noticed the trick.
A Demon loudly said: "Everyone, attack these sands with all your might; he’s pulled us into a unique space, but if we can grind all this sand away, we’ll be able to escape!"
The crowd from the previous dynasty and the Demon Pseudo-Gods exchanged glances, all nodding.
Immediately, they use their strongest means to attack the blowing sands.
The yellow sand is decreasing, but at this rate, it’ll take some time to break through the sand space.
At least about three days.
Qin An, manipulating the Yellow Sand Bead, can sense the situation within the bead, aware that these Demon Pseudo-Gods and previous dynasty people are preparing to come out.
He understands the Yellow Sand Bead can’t trap them for long.
But now, he’s contemplating a breakthrough method.
After all, if during these three days, the battle between Emperor Tianwu and Marshal Liu doesn’t conclude, the outcome remains unchanged.
Furthermore, he cannot intervene in the battle between Celestial Human realm experts.
If Marshal Liu accidentally fails to protect him, this life will be lost to Emperor Tianwu.
Seeing Qin An’s composed demeanor, Emperor Tianwu’s fury grows more intense.
The surroundings empty and desolate, he realizes his followers have been tricked by Qin An, hidden within that bead.
But now, he has no time to kill Qin An, for Marshal Liu, wielding a long spear, is coming at him repeatedly.
