Chapter 150: Kunpeng Flees, Yu Qiang and Zhu Que Are Tricked

Kunpeng is now in a sorry state, his divine body covered in cracks; at present he can't even maintain his true form, only able to appear in human shape.

He also never expected that the Phoenix Clan's people would still not have arrived after nearly three thousand years; every moment he feels he might die.

He desperately hopes the Phoenix Clan did not deceive him and will rush to the battlefield.

This is the only reason, over three thousand years, that lets him keep going; otherwise he can't think of any chance left to survive.

In Kunpeng's calculation, about a thousand years' time is enough for Zhu Que to reach the battlefield.

Unfortunately he underestimated those Great Luo Golden Immortals; even at full speed, they would still need some time to reach the battlefield.

"You had better not place your hope in outsiders; the Phoenix Clan is not worth trusting. Even if they had a chance to kill me, they would likely wait until I killed you before surrounding and annihilating you."

Yu Qiang's voice was icy and merciless, hitting one of Kunpeng's biggest worries exactly as he said.

After three thousand years with no arrival, Kunpeng now suspects Zhu Que treats him as a pawn, waiting for him and Yu Qiang to lose both sides so she can reap the benefits.

His regret is beyond words, yet Kunpeng can only pin his hopes on them now.

"Don't even think of disturbing my mind; moreover, we've fought for three thousand years, my injuries are severe, but you have suffered equally heavy losses."

"But no matter what, the Phoenix Clan will surely come; your life will surely end here."

Kunpeng's face turned grim, yet he did not refute Yu Qiang's claim that he was a pawn.

Yu Qiang suddenly stopped, giving Kunpeng a little breathing space.

Facing Kunpeng's surprise, Yu Qiang smiled and said:

"Since you trust them so much, how about we make a wager?"

Kunpeng didn't know why Yu Qiang would do this, but dragging out time clearly benefits him, so he naturally agrees.

"Please tell me the details."

Kunpeng had already stopped fighting and said:

"I'll make a bet with you: which will arrive first here, the Dragon Clan or the Phoenix Clan?"

As soon as he said that, Kunpeng's face changed drastically, his mind nearly lost, and he exclaimed:

"You notified the Dragon Clan? When!"

"Opportunity!"

At that moment Yu Qiang struck again, a spirit arrow silently flying from the darkness toward Kunpeng.

Even though Kunpeng dodged with all his might, the arrow still pierced through his abdomen.

He spat out a mouthful of divine blood and cursed:

"You despicable villain, actually using such sneak attacks; I wrongly thought you were a gentleman."

Yu Qiang smiled and said:

"Even if my methods are base, they are still far nobler than you, who colludes with outsiders; besides, I never told you to stop."

"When you appeared within my perception, I indeed sent a message to the Dragon Clan; they should arrive soon, and then I want to see how our choices turn out."

Yu Qiang never imagined that the good reputation he had accumulated since the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts could make others forget his proud attack methods.

His strikes are vicious and covert, and he has never hidden the information of his spiritual treasure; yet ever since he gained a good reputation, everyone seems to trust him greatly.

Yu Qiang cannot fathom how his fighting style could be linked to his reputation, causing all the enemies he sees to be so careless.

Moreover, the better people know him, the easier Yu Qiang finds them to deal with, because they foolishly believe he would never launch a sneak attack.

And Kunpeng clearly falls into this category as well, having been blinded by Yu Qiang's past reputation; after suffering a loss once, he actually suffers a second time.

In Kunpeng's despair, a cluster of flames appeared, breaking through Yu Qiang's divine ability.

And Yu Qiang's calm demeanor obviously came from having discovered earlier that he was merely feigning an attack on Kunpeng.

Seeing the Phoenix Clan squad led by Zhu Que surrounding them, twelve Great Luo Golden Immortals encircled Yu Qiang and Kunpeng among the crowd.

"Look, I already said you were just a pawn; now their posture doesn't look like they'll let you go."

Kunpeng snorted coldly without speaking, but his wary gaze told Yu Qiang what he was thinking.

Zhu Que smiled and spoke loudly:

"Fellow Daoist, even at this point you still don't forget to sow discord and increase your own chances of survival; truly you are an outstanding person of the Northern Lands."

Yu Qiang's attitude remained unchanged, still maintaining an arrogant posture, though alarm bells rang in his mind and his focus sharpened.

"I advise you all to leave quickly and flee for your lives; otherwise the Phoenix Clan's losses in the Northern Lands will be too great, and even the present peace may be hard to preserve."

Yu Qiang slightly shook his head and advised:

"Even when Kunpeng arrived, I had already notified the Dragon Clan; given the distance from here to the North Sea, the encirclement is probably almost set up now."

"If you leave now, you still have a chance to live; otherwise you can only die alongside me."

Zhu Que extended her divine sense outward; though she saw no figures, she also detected an abnormality in the nearby river's water level, and her face immediately turned somewhat grim.

At this moment Kunpeng's injuries are too severe, his combat power gone, and nobody in the field paid much attention to him.

Kunpeng's eyes flickered, he scanned the surroundings, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw Yu Qiang's spiritual treasure, the Mysterious Yin Arrow, quietly appear behind a Phoenix Clan member, while everyone else clearly failed to notice.

The atmosphere between the sides grew ever more tense; just as Zhu Que was about to make a decision, a dragon's roar came from the sky, cutting off what she was about to say.

Everyone's hearts and minds were drawn to it, except Yu Qiang and Kunpeng.

In an instant, the Mysterious Yin Arrow erupted like a hidden viper, piercing through two Phoenix Clan Great Luo Golden Immortals, causing them to suffer severe injuries instantly.

And the Mysterious Yin Arrow, having expended its power, revealed itself in midair.

"What!"

"Damn it!"

The first cry was Zhu Que's shocked exclamation after reacting.

The second was Yu Qiang's startled and angry voice.

It turned out that in that instant just now, Yu Qiang had severely wounded two Phoenix Clan Great Luo Golden Immortals, and when the Mysterious Yin Arrow revealed its form, Kunpeng struck.

Only saw the Kun Peng transform into its true form as a great Peng, in that instant it flew out and seized both Great Luo Golden Immortals and the Mysterious Yin Arrow together, turning into a stream of light and disappearing at the horizon.

The next moment, a Daoist voice came, only hearing the Kun Peng say:

"Vermilion Bird, after scheming against my karma you will surely have to repay; these two Great Luo Golden Immortals shall serve as interest to give you a lesson."

"As for Yu Qiang, I will temporarily remember this grudge; if I do not leave Bei Fang today, I will never appear before you again."

"As for your spirit treasure Mysterious Yin Arrow, it is fated with me; if you have the chance you may take it, that also counts as your ability!"

After saying that, two figures fell from the sky; they were the Great Luo Golden Immortals who had just been severely injured, the Vermilion Bird caught them, but found they had already died on the spot.

Yu Qiang, meanwhile, spat out a mouthful of divine blood, and the Kun Peng actually managed to forcibly sever his connection with the Mysterious Yin Arrow.
