Chapter 366

"Even a Martial Emperor couldn't do that, right?"

In the aftermath of their narrow escape, Zhang Yi and the others felt they had witnessed an unforgettable scene.

Don't be fooled by their high status and power in Ben Lang Guo.

But Ben Lang Guo's strongest, Xiao Wandi, is nothing more than a lone Martial King.

Even to them, a Martial Emperor remains a legendary existence.

To witness a Martial Emperor–level expert make a move is absolutely a lifelong hope!

Boom—

Amid flashing lightning and thunder, countless ferocious bolts flickered in the air, striking down at the black-robed swordsman.

The black-robed swordsman's gaze grew solemn as the Crescent Moon Long Sword and Sun Short Dagger joined once more.

As blade met blade, they burst forth with light that filled the sky.

Even the sky shrouded in dark clouds was illuminated again, as if a blazing sun hung overhead.

The clash of thunder and light seemed to produce no astonishing impact.

Everyone felt a ringing in their ears, momentarily losing all hearing.

And the blinding lightning and blade-light likewise made it impossible for them to open their eyes.

At that moment, everyone felt like isolated islands in a downpour, unable to sense any other person or thing!

After an unknown span of time, when they sensed the light fading and a faint wind whispering in their ears, they slowly opened their eyes.

The figures of the great peng and the black-robed swordsman had long since vanished without a trace.

All that remained where they stood was a deep pit piercing the ground of Swordpoint City.

This hole bored straight through Swordpoint City's ground, punching through its deep foundations tens of zhang thick!

The wind they heard was Swordpoint City moving swiftly through the air.

The wind rising from the pit!

"Where did that holy beast and the black-robed swordsman go?"

Zhang Yi, Du Qian, and the others stared at each other, momentarily unsure whether they had won or lost.

Meanwhile, Bai Ce gave Gu Han a deep look.

Although all affairs of the Savior Heir of Sheng Cheng are decided by Feng Yue Shan,

but Bai Ce naturally also has a rough grasp of the Savior Heir's overall strength.

Even counting a few demigods, he and Xiao Wandi remain the Savior Heir's top combat power.

And that holy beast is absolutely not a force the Savior Heir can control.

The reinforcements Xiao Wandi summoned naturally lack such ability as well.

If so, the final answer clearly remains only one.

That holy beast, like the Wolf of Ages, is bound to Gu Han by countless ties.

Thinking this, Bai Ce let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, Feng Yue Shan never initially set her heart against Gu Han; otherwise, they would now have to face that terrifying holy beast!

However, according to his knowledge of the black-robed swordsman, although the earlier display was terrifying—even shattering Swordpoint City, which had endured a thousand years unscathed—

the black-robed swordsman likely already withdrew from that exchange.

Moreover, the black-robed swordsman's uncanny ability to appear and disappear still demands their vigilance.

Now, they must swiftly slay the War God, lest the black-robed swordsman return to cause trouble!

Bai Ce immediately gripped his sword and charged toward the battlefield where Xiao Wandi and the War God clashed.

Without the black-robed swordsman's interference, and with the giant fish-bird's aid, the three of them together quickly suppressed the War God.

Xiao Wandi, unafraid of injury, charged to the front to clash head‑on with the War God, while Bai Ce and the giant fish-bird assisted from the sides.

After Zhang Hao and the others took medicinal pills, rested briefly, and recovered, they stepped forward one by one to thank Gu Han,

"Thank you for your help this time, senior."

On the path of cultivation, the accomplished lead the way.

Although Gu Han appears young, his strength is enough to make him their senior!

Gu Han said lightly,

"Don't think that calling me senior exempts you from payment."

"My domain‑suppressing stone statue—you must compensate me for it."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on Zhang Hao and the others' faces froze.

Even if you sold yourselves, you could not afford to compensate for a stone statue that can easily suppress a Martial King!

Zhang Yi and the others' eyes filled with bitter resignation, fearing that even toiling as oxen and horses would not repay Gu Han's kindness.

But the sole bit of good news is that, since Gu Han spoke up, he must believe they can afford to repay?

Zhang Hao and the others dared not ask the statue's exact value, merely calculating it silently in their hearts.

How could they possibly smash pots and sell iron to afford that stone statue!

After roughly the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, the War God, who had been fighting three against one, finally could bear no more.

Amid the heavy impact, its last two arms braced on the ground as it gasped heavily.

Gu Han and the others felt a jolt; the opponent was clearly spent!

Xiao Wandi seized the moment, striking with a frenzied lion's fist that shattered one of the War God's arms.

The one‑armed War God collapsed to the ground, on the brink of death.

Xiao Wandi expelled a turbid breath, arms crossed, and said lightly,

"Savior, step forward and take the fire seed of this mad king."

Bai Ce nodded, then stepped forward, using a specific vessel to prepare to receive the fire seed.

However, the War God's body suddenly erupted with a powerful aura, forcibly pushing Bai Ce back.

In the next moment, a golden light enveloped the War God's body.

In everyone's heart, a sense of foreboding arose spontaneously.

Immediately thereafter, a terrifying, powerful aura spread out from the War God like ripples.

The War God, with six arms and wielding a golden halberd, appeared once again before everyone's eyes.

Unlike before, this War God is in his prime state!

"How... how is this possible?"

Zhang Hao and the others were all dumbfounded.

When they had arrived earlier, Xiao Wandi and the others had already been fighting the War God for a long time.

Although the aura remained strong, the fatigue revealed did not seem feigned.

Yet at this moment, the Martial Emperor's prime aura made their hairs stand on end.

An indescribable sense of crisis made them want to turn and flee!

Bai Ce put the vessel back into his bag, gazing solemnly at the War God who had returned to his prime state, and whispered,

"I should have thought of that earlier."

As the heir of Sword Edge City, Xiao Wandi possesses a curse from the War God's undying body.

How could that War God not have undying abilities?

The giant fish-bird assisting in battle also looked dumbfounded.

"Holy shit, no wonder the imperial father wanted to be reborn and wander the mortal world—these fellows are truly stranger than the next!"

As a giant fish-bird, his recovery power exceeds that of most monster clans.

As long as he does not suffer a fatal injury, swallowing seawater can quickly restore his condition to near perfect.

But that is only an approximation.

The consumption in battle, the decline of stamina, is unavoidable.

Yet this golden six-armed monster actually seems to have recovered even its stamina loss?

If it were a battle between equals, what would there be to fight?

Who would want to be enemies with a monster that cannot be killed and whose stamina never runs out?

"Alright, let me see—will you die first today, or will I?"
