day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Jing's three personal guards, Shen-Su, Jin-Wu, and Luan-Yi armies mobilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with them, the seven army commanders originally belonging to Tong-You, Jiu-Xiao, Huang-Quan, Xuan-Ming, Tian-Cang, Tai-Xu, and Wu-Yao also mobilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of the three major legions controlled by the Prince of Liang came from these seven major legions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the cooperation of the High Priest, half of the soldiers who were forced to rebel and forcibly accepted titles had their Black Dragon fortune stripped away and returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven army commanders regained control of part of the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation in Ping-Hai Prefecture seemed to reverse in a single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also against this background that the God-Luo King finally found an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little prince Yan-Da was originally a hostage sent by the Prince of Liang, but he saw that the situation was not good and found that the Prince of Liang's supervision of him had become loose, so on October 19th, he led his expert guards to flee south, attempting to cross the Cang-Lan River and return to the Golden Feather Royal Court in the Southern Wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flaw occurred when crossing the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cang-Lan River had always been an important means for the Southern Barbarians to strike at the Great Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Prince of Liang left Ping-Hai Prefecture, the Cang-Lan River experienced a super-large riot, and over a hundred Heavenly Witches joined forces to push the water vein riot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great river was like a water dragon soaring into the sky, rushing toward Ping-Hai Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the situation reversed too quickly, directly scaring these hundred Heavenly Witches into running away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their running away caused the originally boiling Cang-Lan River to become a natural blockade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Southern Barbarian generals who wanted to flee across the river were instead blocked by this great river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of little prince Yan-Da's expert guards were scattered, and only one Second-Rank and two Third-Rank guards protected him as they ran along the east, attempting to bypass the East Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attempting to run back to the Southern Wilderness via the territory of Hong Yuan-Shou and Hong Yuan-Ba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this time, the two brothers Hong Yuan-Shou and Hong Yuan-Ba were already dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai-Yun Wu cooperated with the other two major families, as well as the Luan-Yi Guards who appeared in the East Sea, to attack Hong Yuan-Shou and Hong Yuan-Ba by land and water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rebellious East Sea legion, because most of them had their Black Dragon fortune dispersed by the High Priest, many had long since not wanted to follow the Hong brothers in rebellion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they turned their backs and backstabbed the Hong brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuan-Shou was swallowed in one bite by Bai-Yun Wu, who transformed into a giant dragon, while Hong Yuan-Ba and the heir Ji Chen were nowhere to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping-Hai Prefecture, southeast, a place called Cui-He County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God-Luo King, Ye Yukong, and Zhao Xing finally caught up with little prince Yan-Da.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run, run again if you can!\" The God-Luo King's voice exploded over Cui-He County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, a light barrier also appeared in Cui-He County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boundary Marker Array!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the territory of Cui-He County, five Mechanical God Needles were inserted into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Cui-He County was already an abandoned place, the God-Luo King didn't hesitate to take out his family fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, little prince Yan-Da's situation was exactly the same as what Ye Yukong and Zhao Xing encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that the situation was reversed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft, so cool,\" Zhao Xing sat in a super-large mechanical giant [God-Luo·Pang-Yuan].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Ninth-Rank divine weapon; the God-Luo mechanical giant was a series.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the God-Luo King had a deep study of this series, he got this title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Driving a Gundam to chase people, the God-Luo King's family fortune is truly abundant,\" Zhao Xing looked down at the ground below with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is a Gundam?\" Inside the mechanical giant, Ye Yukong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Legend has it that it's a series of God-Luo, but it has been lost,\" Zhao Xing said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\" Ye Yukong nodded; he didn't know either, so if Zhao Xing said so, it was so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Ye, don't you want to go down?\" Zhao Xing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I go down?\" Ye Yukong's face turned green. \"The God-Luo King is already preparing to fire the Fire-Source Divine Cannon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since being bombed by the Fire-Source Divine Cannon, Old Ye had a bit of psychological shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Ye, I estimate you'll have to take action in a while,\" the God-Luo King said. \"This guy has many good things; I dropped three Fire-Source Divine Cannons, but didn't completely kill them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Easy to say, leave that Second-Rank Five Elements mage to me,\" Ye Yukong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now in the magic array, only little prince Yan-Da and his Second-Rank guard remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two Third-Rank experts had already been bombed to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xuan-Yuan Qingtian hadn't performed [Mountain and River Eternal Stability], three Fire-Source Divine Cannons would have been enough to kill even a Second-Rank expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after performing Mountain and River Eternal Stability, the earth's veins were stabilized, and the power of the Fire-Source Divine Cannon was also weakened, unable to trigger an earth vein riot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Almost there, I'm opening the Boundary Barrier Array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yukong opened the skylight and drilled out with a swish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing also jumped out to watch this battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness, run first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second-Rank guard erupted with a blue light, and the water flow, like silk, rolled up Yan-Da.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the surging water waves, he was pushed out for dozens of miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strength that distorts rules,\" Zhao Xing watched this scene. \"The Heavenly Fortune Realm already has a sense of acting on behalf of heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine Yang Departing Fire!\" The Second-Rank mage sent Yan-Da away, and nine fire dragons emerged from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon scales flickered with light, and even the eyes seemed real; Zhao Xing couldn't see any flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, be careful,\" Zhao Xing couldn't help but remind him, because he found that the fortune pillar on Ye Yukong's head had dimmed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, fighting this Second-Rank mage was still a bit dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Ye Yukong heard this, he didn't hold back anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, when he broke through in Huang-Ze Commandery earlier, he was showing off to the little brother, saying he was invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, he was made to look miserable by Qi Jun later, which damaged his image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he had to show some style!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not holding back anymore, Sun and Moon Shine Together! Die for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yukong was also holding a breath, and he released his ultimate move right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ye Yukong's figure could no longer be seen in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to be like his name, having disappeared into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword was also gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sky where the Second-Rank mage was, half was in darkness, half was in daylight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black and white were printed on his body, distributed evenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, black and white intertwined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the opponent's shock, his body was also divided into two halves along with the black and white intertwining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second-Rank mage cursed in Southern Barbarian language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing understood it; it meant \"reckless man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yukong's chest heaved slightly, and he reappeared in the sky, shook his hand, performed a sword flower, and then stood with his hands behind his back, striking a cool pose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Ye is mighty!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only until he heard the voice from behind did Ye Yukong satisfy his posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Average, I only used two percent of my strength, and he fell down, boring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God-Luo King: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the fact that they had to chase little prince Yan-Da, the God-Luo King would have asked Ye Yukong if he couldn't distinguish between two and—\"Don't kill me, don't kill me!\" Little prince Yan-Da was still caught up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have treasures, I will hand them all over, don't kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He searched his body, constantly throwing out treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where would the God-Luo King listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish, swish, swish—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have treasures, I will hand them all over, just don't kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhao!\" The God-Luo King's voice was somewhat excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coming!\" Zhao Xing immediately activated \"Measure the Heavens,\" threw the Fortune Coin to the God-Luo King, and at the same time opened the Mirage Pearl to record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft!\" The moment the Fortune Coin was in hand, little prince Yan-Da's life ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know if the God-Luo King was too excited and didn't control his strength well, actually strangling Yan-Da into meat paste directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God-Luo King held the Fortune Coin, and his whole body began to growl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\" Zhao Xing's gaze fell below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After little prince Yan-Da was crushed, two items exploded from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them, a transparent crystal ball-like thing, immediately attracted Zhao Xing's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is—Heavenly Spirit Bead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing immediately rushed over and scooped up both things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things that could be integrated into the body were basically treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is a Heavenly Spirit Bead!\" Zhao Xing's eyes lit up after scooping it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a spiritual item!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All Five Elements spiritual energy are complete!\" Zhao Xing took a look and couldn't move his eyes away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five thick streams of spiritual energy rotated inside, emitting seven-colored light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What good thing is this?\" Ye Yukong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heavenly Spirit Bead,\" Zhao Xing said. \"A strange item that can make one's vitality endless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want it very much?\" Ye Yukong saw Zhao Xing's desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, it's very important to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I won't split it,\" Ye Yukong said. \"You handle the God-Luo King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What thing won't be split?\" The God-Luo King flew over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already completed his breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one,\" Ye Yukong pointed to the Heavenly Spirit Bead. \"A very important treasure for Brother Zhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God-Luo King, it has a great effect; I am willing to consume one opportunity to exclusively occupy this treasure.
