Chapter 396

First, if he has been tainted with the Black Tide's aura, he will likely not escape the investigation of the Triumph Gate.

Gu Han smiled faintly and said,

Second, before I arrived, he was acting sneaky, seemingly intending to strike at you.

But after I arrived here, he timidly prepared to retreat, seemingly wanting to leave.

If his speculation is correct.

That fellow must have seen the stalemate in the battle and wanted to take a risky gamble!

If we can capture the exhausted Feng Yue Shan and the combat-inept Liang Jin,

Taking them to the Black Tide side, the black-robed swordsman will surely offer a price beyond his imagination!

Although this entails considerable risk, once successful it will be a leap to the heavens!

In the world before Gu Han's transmigration, there is an old saying.

Win and you get a spa beauty; lose and you go out to sea to work!

That person must have harbored the same idea.

As for whether Gu Han's speculation might be wrong—

Does it matter?

That person was sneaking around in the shelter; he might as well have written 'conspiracy' on his face!

In this life-or-death crisis, any suspicion deserves death!

Better to mistakenly kill a thousand than let one slip!

If one momentarily shows mercy and lets a few go, it could breed greater disaster!

Under Gu Han's divine sense observation, he again discovered several suspicious individuals.

After confirming the target, Gu Han sensed a bit and confirmed that those few were outsiders like him.

Gu Han decisively ordered the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear to act, slaying them all.

Gu Han chose not to intervene in others' wars.

Whether it is Little Wolf or the enemies caught in the Kun Peng's strike,

any Black Tide Monster they kill will provide Gu Han with Qi Blood and attributes.

He would be better off staying here to protect the defenseless Feng Yue Shan and An Jianan.

On the battlefield that everyone worries about, the Kun Peng has joined forces with Xiao Wan Di, again suppressing the black-robed swordsman.

According to Gu Han and company's past experience fighting the black-robed swordsman,

as long as the black-robed swordsman realizes the situation is hopeless, he will surely choose to withdraw and flee, not insist on losing his life here.

However, just as Gu Han and An Jianan thought the black-robed swordsman was about to flee,

the earth of Sheng Cheng suddenly trembled violently.

"What's happening? Is it an earthquake?"

Countless powerhouses and Sheng Cheng citizens stared at each other, unaware of what had occurred.

But Gu Han, Feng Yue Shan, and the others suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

"Even a demigod of the Sea dares to act violently on our continent?"

A low roar like thunderous anger spread in all directions, simultaneously ringing in the ears of hundreds of thousands.

Immediately thereafter, amidst the shaking earth, a burly man clad in thick yellowish armor appeared before everyone.

The reason everyone could almost simultaneously see this burly man

is that this burly man's height astonishingly reached five or six zhang!

When the burly man runs, it is like a skyscraper moving forward.

Each step he takes makes everyone's heart tremble!

At the moment they saw this burly stone giant, the same thought arose in the hearts of the black-robed swordsman, An Jianan, Feng Yue Shan, Bai Ce, and others.

This giant is very likely the only deity now walking the world!

That is, the Earth God!

Feng Yue Shan swallowed, then hurriedly urged Gu Han,

"Quickly have the Holy Beast retract its divine powers, or else it may provoke the Earth God's hostility!"

Gu Han furrowed his brow,

"It's just a deity, after all?"

"We even hunted down the War God before; are we still afraid of the Earth God?"

At the very least, the War God is the foremost in combat among all deities.

Not long ago they seized the opponent's fire seed, enabling Xiao Wan Di to successfully ascend to demigod of War.

Since the Earth God has come to our door, it conveniently saves us the trouble of seeking him later.

Kill the Earth God, then forge an Earth demigod, further advancing our god-slaying journey!

However, upon hearing Gu Han's near-overconfident words, Feng Yue Shan immediately grew anxious,

"The War God you slew had resisted the Black Tide for a thousand years, already lacking consciousness and greatly diminished in strength!"

"But judging from this Earth God's aura, even if not at its peak, it is hardly any weaker."

"If we are all at our peak now, joining forces perhaps we could slay the Earth God and seize its fire seed."

"But now Black Tide monsters blanket the sky and earth; we still need to divert forces to restrain the black-robed swordsman, leaving hardly anyone free to confront the Earth God!"

Feng Yue Shan originally thought that after the group retrieved the War God's fire seed and returned, the crisis in Sheng Cheng would naturally be temporarily resolved.

But she never imagined that the Earth God would actually awaken at this moment and come to cause trouble!

However, upon reflection, the Earth God and the Sea God govern different domains.

At this moment, it is extremely likely that the Kun of the Ocean Demi-God has appeared here.

In the Earth God's eyes, it is indeed extremely likely that this represents the Ocean God's desire to expand.

The Earth God thus became angry, which also seems quite normal.

Gu Han Furrowed Brow, after thinking a moment, however did not let the Kun-Peng retreat.

«Transform Kun into Peng! »

As Gu Han's voice fell, a bright Peng cry rang out between heaven and earth.

Kun-Peng, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky!

The sky-covering, sun-shielding great Peng appeared in the world, causing countless people in the city to gaze up in shock at the heavens.

The black-robed swordsman, suppressed by the combined forces of Kun-Peng and Xiao Wan Di, kept crying out in misery.

At the moment the Peng appeared, it immediately flapped its wings.

Kun, controls the power of the ocean.

Peng, controls the power of wind and clouds!

The howling wind instantly echoed through heaven and earth.

In the city, everyone's ears seemed, at this moment, to have only that howling wind left.

The next moment, two huge tornadoes swept in all directions.

Countless houses and buildings already damaged in battle, under the sweep of the violent wind, flew up into the air.

Making the tornado even more fierce!

The black-robed swordsman's gaze solemn, wanting to clash swords to cut out radiant light to resist the tornado's pincer attack.

But beside his ear, suddenly rose Xiao Wan Di's explosive roar,

«Want to make a move? Have you gotten my permission? »

Bang!

A punch mixed with an angry lion's roar fiercely smashed toward the black-robed swordsman's chest.

Caught off guard, the black-robed swordsman could only raise his sword horizontally to block Xiao Wan Di's attack.

But the terrifying power contained in that punch still sent the black-robed swordsman flying backward tens of meters.

And the tornado, meanwhile, had already brought countless buildings sweeping toward the black-robed swordsman.

That violent wind was like many sharp blades, cutting into the black-robed swordsman's body.

In the distance, the Earth God, having come running all the way, upon seeing this scene, stood there with a look of astonishment.

He extended his huge hand, puzzledly rubbing his head,

«Where did that Ocean Fellow run off to? »

Could it be that upon seeing Him come, he immediately tucked his tail and fled?
