Chapter 1303: An Existence on Par with the Heavenly Emperor Haotian

~3 min read 568 words

Seeing that there was no perfect solution,

Yang Jian, the Erlang Shen, suddenly stepped forward and said to Marshal Tianpeng:

"Marshal Tianpeng, look, if both sides just stay in this stalemate, there is no benefit for anyone."

"Besides, even if we can't take you down for a while, as long as we are ruthless enough to have Taishang Laojun or the Yuanshi Tianzun come forward,"

"do you think you have any chance of winning?"

Hearing Yang Jian's words, Marshal Tianpeng, who already had little confidence, felt his spirit deflate even further.

After all, when Marshal Tianpeng was in the Heavenly Court, he was very clear about how powerful the great beings of the Heavenly Court were.

Just as Yang Jian said, whether it was the Yuanshi Tianzun or Taishang Laojun, whoever came forward,

Marshal Tianpeng feared that even with his Heaven-and-Earth Net Array composed of one hundred thousand Heavenly River Navy soldiers, he would at most be able to resist two moves.

As for why the Heavenly Emperor Haotian did not send the Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun to capture him,

Marshal Tianpeng was also very clear about the reason: Taishang Laojun was one of the three corpses of the Great Pure Laozi, so the Heavenly Emperor Haotian could not command him at all.

Although the two had a good relationship now, as if they had formed an alliance,

the Heavenly Emperor Haotian knew in his heart that under such a relationship, he could only consult with Taishang Laojun.

As for capturing Marshal Tianpeng, a Golden Immortal, such a face-losing matter, Taishang Laojun would certainly not strike.

And the Yuanshi Tianzun, in terms of status, was an existence on par with the Heavenly Emperor Haotian in the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian could not command the Yuanshi Tianzun either.

So, under these circumstances, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian could only command his trusted subordinate Li Tianwang to come and capture Marshal Tianpeng.

"Yang Jian, then tell me, what should we do?"

Marshal Tianpeng's mindset was already shaken, and he even handed the initiative to Yang Jian.

Hearing Marshal Tianpeng's words, Yang Jian smiled slightly.

It seemed his strategy had taken effect; Marshal Tianpeng was no longer as calm as before.

Subsequently, Yang Jian spoke again:

"Marshal Tianpeng, if you have the guts, then fight me one-on-one."

"If you win, I will let you go."

"But if I win, you will return to the Heavenly Court with me."

"And most importantly, if we fight one-on-one, we won't harm the lives of the soldiers under our command."

"After all, you wouldn't want to see such loyal soldiers die before your eyes, would you?"

Yang Jian's words struck Marshal Tianpeng's heart.

To be honest, Marshal Tianpeng really didn't want to watch the soldiers who were so loyal to him die before his eyes.

And die because of his own selfishness.

After all, his apprenticeship to Tang Seng had absolutely nothing to do with these soldiers.

But because they respected him as the Marshal of the Heavenly River Navy,

they had even sacrificed their lives to support him.

Therefore, Marshal Tianpeng was unwilling to watch them sacrifice themselves in vain.

"Is your word good?"

However, before that, Marshal Tianpeng was still a bit worried.

After all, whether Yang Jian's words could be guaranteed was the most critical point.

Otherwise, even if he, Marshal Tianpeng, defeated Yang Jian... ===== CHAPTER 1305 =====
