Chapter 144: They All Came, Which Is Good; It Saves Trouble!

Gu Fei is, after all, a prominent figure in the Jia Ma Empire now.

His deeds are spread everywhere by wanderers and travelers in the streets and alleys, and the empires neighboring the Jia Ma Empire have naturally heard of them.

However, Yan Luotian clearly does not believe much in such a figure who has gradually been deified in rumors, regarding them merely as exaggerated gossip from the people of the Jia Ma Empire.

Killing some bullshit Protector with one strike—the strength of the Protector was blown out of proportion, but in reality, it was nothing more than a soul body; it is common knowledge that strength is more than half-depleted after a soul leaves the body, so what is so impressive about destroying a mere soul?

Yan Luotian thinks to himself that these people of the Jia Ma Empire do not even know how to write a script, as they are all clumsy loopholes.

Furthermore, he has assembled the power of over a dozen empires to come and conquer; even if that Gu Fei is powerful, could he possibly withstand the power of over a dozen empires now?

"I didn't expect Yun Shan to actually come..."

Seeing Yun Shan step forward, Jia Xingtian is somewhat surprised in his heart; this Yun Shan seems like a different person compared to a few days ago.

"Jia Xingtian, assemble the imperial army and prepare to defend!"

Yun Shan glances at Jia Xingtian, whose mind tightens, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.

He had intended to let them pass just now because he did not want to make a meaningless sacrifice, but now that Yun Shan has already stepped forward to intercept the opposition, he has no choice but to act.

Otherwise, the prestige of the Jia Ma Imperial Family will be completely trampled underfoot by the Yunlan Sect.

"Prepare for defense!" Jia Xingtian gives the order, and Mu Zhan, who was somewhat dejected from letting them pass earlier, is instantly high in fighting spirit.

The men of his Mu Family are all warlike and hot-blooded; he believes that dying on the battlefield is better than cowardly handing over his home and country to others!

"The whole army, assemble! Swear to defend against the enemy to the death!" Mu Zhan roars loudly.

The imperial army, which already had firm gazes, is even more confident after seeing the arrival of the Yunlan Sect experts; following bursts of shouting, the momentum they erupt with is also incomparably thick, not losing out to the Empire Allied Forces.

Jia Xingtian had originally intended to open the pass and let them through, but the sudden appearance of Yun Shan adds many obstacles, making Yan Luotian feel very displeased.

"Yun Shan, let's see how much you have actually improved over these years!"

Yan Luotian charges directly toward Yun Shan to fight a decisive battle with him.

The Jia Ma Empire only has Yun Shan as a Dou Zong, so Yun Shan can only bite the bullet and charge up.

The golden goose wings behind Yan Luotian flap, and his entire person shoots toward Yun Shan like a streak of golden light; the speed is so fast that it shocks Yun Shan, who can only hurriedly defend.

"Not much improvement, huh!"

Yan Luotian smashes a fist into Yun Shan's chest; Yun Shan barely blocks it but is shaken, his blood and Qi surging.

Yan Luotian's gaze is as sharp as an eagle's; a ball of golden light is pinched in his palm, flickering and changing until it finally becomes a brilliant golden sword. The sharp aura released by the golden sword makes Yun Shan feel as if his Dou Qi is being continuously sliced.

"Since you want to stand up for the Snake-People Tribe, then let the Snake-People Tribe be destroyed first!"

After Yan Luotian finishes speaking, the golden light all over his body suddenly trembles and becomes even more brilliant; the golden sword in his hand merges with the golden light on his body, and then the golden light splits, transforming into golden feathers that shoot toward Yun Shan, covering the sky and earth.

Yun Shan dares not receive such a fierce offensive and has to soar into the air to seek an opportunity to dodge, but with the golden feathers like a net covering the sky, Yun Shan cannot dodge them completely at all.

After only a few breaths, he appears in the distance in a sorry state, with the lingering glow of the golden feathers still remaining on his body.

"Terrible!"

Seeing Yun Shan being crushed, Jia Xingtian wants to go up and help; if Yun Shan is defeated, their great army will be annihilated in an instant.

But just as Jia Xingtian moves, the figures of three old men appear before him.

"You, a Dou Huang, should not participate in a Dou Zong's battle; let the three of us meet you."

Jia Xingtian's eyes tighten after seeing the three people before him clearly; they are the Three Elders of Mulian from the Mulian Empire.

If these three join forces, they can exert the combat power of a low-level Dou Zong, and Jia Xingtian is only a Dou Huang; he simply cannot block the three of them joining forces.

"Enough nonsense, take him down, and the Jia Ma Empire will be ours to carve up!"

After one of the Three Elders of Mulian finishes speaking, blood Qi surges throughout his body, his bestial nature becomes increasingly intense, and then his body begins to change, his head actually turning into the appearance of a tiger.

The other two transform into the appearances of a lion and a bear, respectively.

"Is this the Three Beasts Wilderness Art?"

Jia Xingtian's gaze is heavy, and he takes a deep breath; he must be careful in fighting the enemy today, otherwise, today will be the time of his death.

"Kill!"

The Three Elders of Mulian shout in unison and launch an attack on Jia Xingtian.

Terrifying Dou Qi surges wildly toward Jia Xingtian; the three's attacks have almost no blind spots, and Jia Xingtian has nowhere to hide, so he can only take it head-on. Fortunately, his Dou Qi is of the earth element, so he is not killed instantly upon contact.

But both Yun Shan and he are at a disadvantage; if this continues, they cannot escape destruction!

Just when the two are in precarious situations and are almost about to be slaughtered, a loud voice suddenly resounds throughout the entire battlefield.

"So many people have come; it seems the surrounding dozen or so imperial forces have all arrived! That actually saves trouble!"

Hearing this, Yan Luotian forces Yun Shan back with a sword; he retreats a few steps and looks toward where the voice originated, where he senses a terrifying aura.

"May I ask which senior this is? This is a dispute between us and the Snake-People Tribe and the Jia Ma Empire; I ask that you do not interfere, senior." Yan Luotian says in a tone of yielding.

"You bully my wife, and you still ask me not to interfere?"

A gust of wild wind blows, and a behemoth carrying two people makes its entrance.

The arrivals are none other than Gu Fei, Cai'er, and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Yan Luotian does not recognize Gu Fei, but he does recognize Medusa.

Seeing Gu Fei's arrival, Yun Shan and Jia Xingtian both reveal looks of pleasant surprise, leaning over one after another and saying, "Young Master Gu Fei, you have finally come."

"Young Master Gu Fei, he is Gu Fei!"

Yan Luotian and the Three Elders of Mulian are all incomparably shocked upon hearing this; the powerful senior they spoke of is actually Gu Fei, and the rumor they looked down upon is actually this powerful.

Yan Luotian is also very tactful; the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King under Gu Fei alone is someone they are far from being a match for, let alone Gu Fei himself.

"Senior, this junior had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, not knowing it was Young Master Gu Fei. If we had known of the relationship between Young Master Gu Fei and the Snake-People Tribe, we would never have dared to invade!"

Seeing Gu Fei and Medusa being so intimate, Yan Luotian immediately guesses their relationship to some extent.

The wife Gu Fei spoke of is Medusa.

"Regretful? But it is already too late."

Gu Fei cannot be bothered to talk more with Yan Luotian; he reaches out a hand toward Yan Luotian. Yan Luotian senses the terrifying pressure and flaps his golden wings, wanting to flee in a hurry, but before he can even move, he feels himself being grasped in a hand.

Following this, a burst of immense force surged forth; he was crushed directly by Gu Fei, and then the Exotic Fire appeared, burning him into nothingness.

Upon seeing this, the Three Elders of Mulan were so horrified they could not speak; fleeing was their instinct, yet before Gu Fei, they had no chance of survival.
