"You are simply not strong enough to defeat me! Turn back while you still can!"
"First, we will kill you, and then we will retreat. You don't need to worry about that!" Jiang Xue charged towards Slicing Shadow as if the seven waves of Water Dragon provided her with a safe passage.
"Shadow Realm!" This time, Slicing Shadow truly did not expect Jiang Xue to disregard all the displays of strength she had shown—indeed, his own strength was the weakest aspect of his role as a general. Although he had received personal guidance from the Human Emperor, he still could not catch up to Yang Fuhai.
As a strategist, he understood the principles of deception well. For decades under the Human Emperor's focus, no one had dared to approach him closely; Jiang Xue was the first to see through all his arrangements!
And she did it in such a short amount of time!
She was a formidable opponent!
In an instant, Slicing Shadow reached the same conclusion as Jiang Xue!
At that very moment, Slicing Shadow abandoned any thoughts of escape!
This woman would undoubtedly achieve greatness in the future that would rival Wang Long! He must first eliminate this great enemy for His Majesty the Human Emperor to prevent future troubles!
"Wudao Zhan Ying!"
"Shen Walking Dragon Technique! Ice Prism Realm!"
The ice layer reappeared and rapidly enveloped Slicing Shadow. Both the air and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence seemed frozen and unable to move.
However!
In just a moment, a more intense Black Radiance erupted, overpowering Jiang Xue's ice layer and trapping her within it!
Even Princess Lingli, who was on the battlefield, could not see what was happening within the Black Radiance. In shock, she flew forward but was still a step too late!
Using the gaze of the Shadow Realm as a shield, the power of Slicing Shadow surged exponentially with a single strike, and no one in the world could evade this relentless sword!
As the sword swept through, it seemed to tear apart the darkness, restoring light to the heavens. Su Zhanyan revealed a triumphant smile; before him, Jiang Xue had been cleaved in two by his sword!
"Not good!" The smile on Slicing Shadow's face quickly froze—Jiang Xue's "corpse" before him showed no trace of blood; in fact, she wore a confident smile as if she had struck a fatal blow!
Suddenly, a chill crept into his neck!
"Finally, I still can't do it?" Although he couldn't tell when he had fallen victim to Jiang Xue's Shen Walking Dragon Technique, nor could he discern where her attack was coming from now, he knew one thing.
He could no longer evade this strike.
Killing intent glimmered in Jiang Xue's eyes. Just as she prepared to finish her opponent with an Ice Slash, the ice shard in her hand inexplicably vanished. Even her Spiritual Essence and the force of her palm disappeared simultaneously, leaving her unable to control anything!
Only a top master at the Creation Stage could achieve such a feat! And currently, there were only two Creation Stage masters in the world: Wang Long and Human Emperor. Wang Long wouldn't do such a thing and was currently injured! So…
"Human Emperor!" The sequence of events flashed through Jiang Xue's mind almost instinctively, leading her to conclude quickly and shout a warning to those behind her while retreating swiftly!
Though she didn't know why Human Emperor had exited Sky Gate in such a short time, Jiang Xue was certain of her judgment!
Boom!
A pure wave of Spiritual Essence slashed down from the sky over a hundred feet, cleaving the battlefield in two!
All the warriors on the battlefield were terrified by this overwhelming strike and scattered in two directions. A figure shot up towards the sky—it was Wang Long, who had just recovered from his injuries.
"Are you injured?" Wang Long initially thought that with his current strength at seventy percent, a fierce battle was inevitable. However, he was shocked to discover that the legendary Human Emperor was severely wounded!
Even during the recent battle with the divine being, the Human Emperor had only suffered significant damage to his essence. What terrifying force outside the Sky Gate could have inflicted such harm on the Human Emperor, who had reached the Creation Realm and was advancing towards divine power?
"Hmph! Indeed!" What surprised Wang Long even more was that the ambitious Human Emperor not only showed no signs of concealment but appeared quite proud of his condition based on his expression and tone!
"Uh, the Human Emperor truly has a lofty spirit!" Wang Long's mouth twitched. Brother, you've been beaten to this state; what is there to be so smug about?
"Thirty-Three Heavens Palace Golden Gate, come!" The Human Emperor gazed deeply for a moment before suddenly waving his hand, drawing the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace Golden Gate into his Spirit.
"Is there really such a formidable enemy?" Wang Long glanced curiously at the Sky Gate, completely retracting his previous thoughts. He never expected that even with the power of the Human Emperor, he would be forced to use such a divine artifact as a backup plan!
"The Sky Gate won't close. You'll know what’s happening over there as soon as you go. However, I still remind you that it’s best to cover the Sky Gate with your Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs; otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
"Hmph! Quite a bold statement." Although he said this, Wang Long had no doubts about the Human Emperor's words. He directly summoned the Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs again, wrapping the Sky Gate within it so that it could no longer appear before others. However, through the connection between Wang Long and the Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs' Spiritual Essence, he could still sense every movement of the Sky Gate, including a small part of the space behind it.
"Good! Your decisive actions are commendable; you truly are my great adversary!" Wang Long thought he would hesitate before acting, but seeing his actions made the Human Emperor reveal an appreciative expression. "In light of your trust in my words, I want to make a deal with you! A ceasefire!"
"A ceasefire?" Wang Long scrutinized the Human Emperor's expression, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that the Human Emperor wasn't someone who liked to joke around. "You’ve already laid down thousands of troops; even facing a common enemy like a divine being, you still think about stabbing us in the back. Now you openly say ceasefire! Uh, do you think I would believe that?"
"What else? Do you want to counterattack into Eight Continents?" The Human Emperor's sharp gaze pierced through Wang Long's bluster. "Setting aside our current strength comparison, does your Dragon City even have the qualifications for a counterattack? Or are you willing to be used as a dowry for the Jiao Dragon Clan without claiming any territory for yourselves? Moreover, although you helped me fight against the divine being earlier, I don’t believe you couldn’t see it. Once the Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs appeared, his interest in you has definitely equaled mine. The dragon head wants to gamble on which side he will strike first."
Wang Long's expression turned cold. Although their cooperation with the Jiao Dragon Clan seemed to be in its honeymoon phase now, the Human Emperor had seen through their potential future pitfalls without fail. Wang Long had no choice but to agree. "Fine! We’ll mark this; let’s ceasefire immediately!"
"Ceasefire!"
"Ceasefire!"
Although both the Dragon City Alliance and the Human Emperor's Army found the sudden decision of these two individuals strange, strict discipline compelled them to follow orders and separate for the time being.
"Your Majesty! I am incompetent!" Slicing Shadow, who had nearly perished under Jiang Xue's attack and was saved just in time by the Human Emperor, now showed a look of shame as he pleaded for forgiveness.
"It’s alright. This time, our strength was not adequately prepared. Although we had the intention of launching a surprise attack, we still underestimated the defenses of the Kyushu Islands. Moreover, the elite forces of the Jiao Dragon Clan are gathered here, at their strongest moment; even if we win, we will suffer significant losses."
"But..." As a strategist, Slicing Shadow still had many plans left unexecuted, and this felt quite unsatisfactory.
"Enough! I have made my decision. As a leader, one cannot be overly concerned with immediate gains or losses; one must look at the bigger picture. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"Dragon Head, this battle was very enjoyable. I hope that when we face each other in a life-and-death struggle, it will be even more spectacular than today. Until then, do not die prematurely; I would lose a worthy opponent!"
"Human Emperor, if you think saying this will deter me from my intention to breach the Sky Gate, I am now even more curious."
"Hahahaha, then it is naturally up to you, Dragon Head!"
Amidst laughter, the Human Emperor had already floated away.
