Chapter 377: Life for Life

「Did you hear that, Ni Gu Si! 」

The Sword Edge King, hearing that he would become the God of War in the future, went mad again,

「If we merge as one and ascend to become the God of War, what difficulty is there in ruling the world? 」

「That's the God of War, the undisputed strongest on the battlefield! 」

「By then, the whole world will be under the spears of Sword Edge City! 」

「We will become the sole rulers of this world! 」

Although Ni Gu Si's heart was moved by Gu Han's words,

But he was not at all deceived by the Sword Edge King's few words.

「Are you being too dreamy? 」

Ni Gu Si said lightly,

「Since this junior came from a thousand years later to find a way to kill you, 」

「That shows Sword Edge City has far from achieved ruling the whole world! 」

「Moreover, it has even incurred the enmity of countless people! 」

「Haven't you come to your senses yet? 」

Although the Sword Edge King heard Ni Gu Si's words,

but at this moment he has been dazed by the desire to become the God of War,

「This is all fake; as long as I become the God of War! 」

「In this world, no one can possibly kill me! 」

Seeing the Sword Edge King completely lose his reason, Ni Gu Si gave up his last verbal attack.

He pressed his own heart hard against the Sword Edge King's chest.

The next moment, the Sword Edge King's chest emitted a sizzling sound of scorching boil.

「Ni…… Ni Gu Si, you will surely regret this! 」

The Sword Edge King growled low with a ferocious gaze,

「It's precisely because you did this that we ended up being besieged by this crowd! 」

「If we perfectly merged, how could these people be our opponents? 」

The Sword Edge King's chest burned hot, while Ni Gu Si's body burst into flames.

In the scorching flames, Ni Gu Si made no muffled sound, but his gaze remained steadfast,

「Gu Han, fulfill… my wish for me! 」

As his words fell, Ni Gu Si's body turned to ash in the flames.

And that scorching flame, like a bone‑eating maggot, clung to the Sword Edge King's chest.

An angry, low growl echoed inside the palace.

The palace had already been shattered in the earlier battle.

Finally, it collapsed with a roar in the Sword Edge King's angry shout.

Amid the massive ruins, a golden figure rose, bearing scorching flames, and stood aloft.

He pointed his golden spear downward at Gu Han from afar,

「All Sword Edge City soldiers, kill this wretch for me! 」

Gu Han, who had thought the Sword Edge King would act himself, showed a look of surprise.

It seems the Sword Edge King relies entirely on his own immortality.

Now Ni Gu Si has temporarily sealed that immortality.

The Sword Edge King also lost the confidence to fight him.

Under the Sword Edge King's command, tens of thousands of Sword Edge City warriors brandished spears, surging forward with killing intent from afar.

Gu Han had just readied himself to act when he heard a heavy roar from afar.

「Stop, all of you! 」

Seeing that others did not heed, the shouting commander immediately ordered his troops to block and surround the Sword Edge City warriors attacking Gu Han.

Obviously, among the Sword Edge City nobles, there are not only those who indulge in pleasure.

To these enterprising Sword Edge nobles, it is unacceptable that the Sword Edge King uses the warriors' blood to buy a moment of clarity!

They can accept the Sword Edge King dying on the battlefield, even if Sword Edge City would suffer heavy losses as a result.

But they cannot accept the Sword Edge King being so foolish!

Those brought by the Sword Edge City nobles are all beings with extremely firm faith in Sword Edge City.

Even among all Sword Edge City warriors, they count as middle‑strength forces.

Under the nobles' command, these warriors quickly restrained nearly half of the Sword Edge City warriors.

After all, the Sword Edge King remains the ruler of Sword Edge City.

Even though many nobles can no longer bear to watch the Sword Edge King's decline,

there are still countless warriors who swear to follow the Sword Edge King to the death.

The Sword Edge City warriors these nobles can mobilize are still extremely limited compared to the Sword Edge King.

Still, many Sword Edge City warriors surged toward Gu Han like a tide.

The Sword Edge King standing aloft had a ferocious gaze.

As long as he buys the time of a cup of tea, his immortality can recover.

By then, it will be Gu Han's time of death!

As for these brave warriors who sacrificed themselves.

Sword Edge City will remember their glory!

Gu Han watched the Sword Edge King's face showing a "sympathizing with heaven, pitying humanity" expression, hearing the battle cries from afar, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh,

"These people have really been brainwashed to the point of having no thoughts of their own!"

To bravely advance for the defense of home and country is indeed something worth advocating and praising.

But they don't even look— the Sword Edge King they believe in, invincible in all directions, does he still have even a semblance of the Sword Edge King now?

Following such a person— is it really worthwhile?

A blue-purple Thunder Patrol Wing appeared behind Gu Han, lifting his body as it slowly rose, standing opposite the Sword Edge King.

Seeing this, the Sword Edge King couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Even the most renowned brave general of Sword Edge City cannot fly by his own strength!

This young man who came from a thousand years later is indeed not simple!

"Do you think that by flying up you can avoid the fate of death?"

The Sword Edge King raised his right hand high and hurled the golden spear in his hand.

The golden spear traced a golden line in the air, thrusting toward Gu Han's chest.

At the same time, the Sword Edge King's right hand swiftly came down,

"Fire arrows!"

The Sword Edge City warriors who had gathered immediately nocked their bows and shot at Gu Han in the air.

The incoming Arrow Rain and the Sword Edge King's golden spear blocked all of Gu Han's escape routes.

At first glance, it seemed that no matter how Gu Han dodged, injury was inevitable.

However, the Kun-peng that had previously assisted Ni Gu in battling the Sword Edge King suddenly appeared before Gu Han at this moment.

Immediately after, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the heavens and earth for miles changed color.

Amidst flashing lightning and rumbling thunder, a great Peng with a wingspan exceeding a hundred zhang appeared above Sword Edge City.

"What... what kind of monster is this?"

Seeing this great Peng that almost blotted out the sky, all the Sword Edge City warriors present, even those engaged in combat, turned pale with shock.

They have traversed the world for hundreds of years, defeating more than a hundred city-states!

Whether it was earth beasts or those massive stone golems, they had once fought and conquered them.

But such a terrifying Peng— let alone having seen it with their own eyes,

they have never even heard of it!

But the next moment, as the Peng's massive wings gave a slight flap,

A terrifying whirlwind swept in all directions, mixing all the Arrow Rain shot by the Sword Edge City warriors into a tangled mass, dancing with the whirlwind.

Immediately after, under the Peng's control, all the Arrow Rain shot fiercely toward the Sword Edge King!
