King of Gods

Chapter 1472 – Swift Wind Gate’s Scheme

Tang Bai never would’ve expected that Swift Wind Gate and Vermillion Bird Pavilion, two factions that got along like fire and water, would join together to deal with his team.

“Damn, to think they would do such a thing!” God Lord Crazysword’s eyes bulged in anger, and he gnashed his teeth. Only now did he realize why the members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion had not delivered the lethal blow; they wanted to draw out all of Tang Bai’s team to finish them off in one fell swoop!

The situation is bad.” Zhao Feng slightly shook his head. The current situation was extremely disadvantageous to them.

“You brought this on yourself!” the fiery-robed elder of Vermillion Bird Pavilion coldly said.

If Tang Bai’s team hadn’t appeared, Swift Wind Gate and Vermillion Bird Pavilion would have started their fight for the Ancestral Artifact fragment long ago. However, these two factions had similar levels of strength, so if they fought against each other too excessively, Tang Bai’s team would be the one reaping the harvest.

Moreover, the news on the Blazing Hell fragment was on the verge of getting out. Before this happened, the two factions decided to temporarily ally with each other to defeat Tang Bai’s team. Then they could begin their struggle over the Ancestral Artifact fragment.

“Strike! Kill everyone except Tang Bai!” Swift Wind Gate Master barked.

Swish! Swish!

The four God Lords who had come with him charged out.

“All of you go as well!” the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master called out.

God Lord Vastsoul immediately charged forward with the other two God Lords.

“Mm? These two Second Heaven God Lords don’t plan to go themselves?” Zhao Feng glanced at the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master and Swift Wind Gate Master.

After some thought, he understood. Although these two factions had temporarily allied, their grudges were too deep for them to completely trust each other. God Lord battles were too chaotic; if one side launched a sneak attack, the other side would be in great peril.

In addition, not even Second Heaven God Lords dared to take the dying struggles of a God Lord too lightly. They also needed to fight for the Ancestral Artifact fragment afterward. Thus, the leaders of the two factions did not dare act recklessly.

Besides, even if they didn’t intervene, their side still had more than enough forces to crush Tang Bai’s team. Swift Wind Gate had four God Lords – two First Heavens and two peak First Heavens. Vermillion Bird Pavilion had three God Lords. God Lord Vastsoul was a Second Heaven, and they also had the red-robed woman, who was a peak First Heaven.

“Tang Bai, let this old man play with you!” God Lord Vastsoul loudly laughed, exuding vast pressure as he charged at Tang Bai. His mission was to suppress Tang Bai so that the others could kill off Tang Bai’s team. Once Tang Bai was alone, he would not be able to pose any threat to the two factions.

Tang Bai was enraged, his body roiling with formidable bloodline energy.

Bzzzz!

His body gradually turned white and began to let off a dim glow. In addition, it exuded a strange energy that could seal all things.

Kabooom!

With a wave of his fan, he sent waves of white light shooting off in every direction. The energy in the areas struck by Tang Bai’s attacks instantly weakened.

“Retreat!” Tang Bai messaged the members of his team. The other side decided not to send their two Second Heaven God Lords, so they still had a chance of surviving.

On the other end, six God Lords attacked God Lord Crazysword, Zhao Feng, and the other two, their attacks filling the skies.

“Die!” God Lord Crazysword was fuming, his golden sword exuding a tyrannical Sword Intent that reached to the heavens.

Swooosh!

Countless golden slashes howled forward, cutting numerous gaps in the raging sea of fire.

The other members of Tang Bai’s team also took action. The black-armored man was a body-refining expert with incredible strength while the skills of the violet-robed old woman were more inclined toward the soul. Zhao Feng swung around his Chaos Origin Divine Sword, easily shattering the attacks coming down around him.

Although they were all angry, now was not the time to fight to the death. The enemy outnumbered them and still had two Second Heaven God Lords waiting in the wings.

All of them initiated a fighting retreat, accumulating injuries in the process.

“Pointless!” The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master snorted in disdain.

When the two factions worked together, they only needed to use a portion of their strength to crush Tang Bai’s team. All he needed to do was keep an eye on Swift Wind Gate Master. He well understood his foe and knew that this was a man of many schemes.

The chaotic God Lord battle gradually drew away from the two Second Heaven God Lords.

“There are seven on the enemy side, with the strongest being God Lord Vastsoul. The rest aren’t worth worrying about. But the most important part is that the two Second Heaven God Lords are keeping a watch on the battlefield.” Zhao Feng’s eyes dimmed as he analyzed the situation. If he displayed his power, he could reverse the battle, but once the situation was reversed, those two God Lords might intervene.

“Forget it! Not even Second Heaven God Lords can do anything to me!” Zhao Feng’s eyes surged with killing intent.

If he did not expose some of his strength, Tang Bai’s team had almost zero chance of winning. And there were too many taking part in this struggle for the Ancestral Artifact fragment, with other factions and even people from the Sacred Land converging on this place. Zhao Feng’s chances of obtaining the Blazing Hell fragment were very small, so it was better to just kill a few God Lords and collect the riches from their bodies.

Moreover, if he drew away the leaders of the two five-star factions, Tang Bai’s forces would be able to escape, and Zhao Feng wouldn’t owe them anything.

“Kill!” Zhao Feng’s Chaos Origin Divine Sword expanded in size and began to crackle with Tribulation Lightning energy. Thwish!

He charged at the azure-robed man from Swift Wind Gate.

Zhao Feng only recognized two of the enemy God Lords: the azure-robed man from Swift Wind Gate and God Lord Vastsoul from Vermillion Bird Pavilion.

“Zhao Wang, no!” the black-armored man immediately called out. Other than God Lord Vastsoul, the opposing side still had six God Lords. Zhao Feng charging forward was simply suicidal.

You want to kill me that badly?” The azure-robed man wickedly smiled. Wielding an azure saber, he unleashed wave after wave of azure wind sabers.

“Seeking death!” The red-robed woman and the other God Lords immediately aimed their attacks at Zhao Feng.

Thwish!

Zhao Feng used his Time Law and Space Intent to blink around. At the same time, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring around him began to darken in color, forming into a pitch-black sphere that distorted and devoured everything around him.

Boom! Bang! Crash!

Zhao Feng moved with incredible speed, dodging the majority of the attacks. The remaining attacks were blocked by the Chaos Heaven Black Hole.

“So powerful!” The black-armored man was stunned.

The speed Zhao Feng displayed at this moment exceeded even God Lord Crazysword’s, and Zhao Feng also had an extremely formidable defensive technique.

“Go!” A harsh light flashed in God Lord Crazysword’s eyes, and the sword in his hand swelled in power. Sweeping the sword, he unleashed a rain of golden swords.

The others, seeing Zhao Feng being so bold and drawing away most of the attacks, also charged forward.

“Damn, that brat again!” God Lord Vastsoul couldn’t help but curse as he looked at Zhao Feng. In his first clash with Zhao Feng, he already realized that Zhao Feng possessed extraordinary strength.

But in normal circumstances, their side still wouldn’t lose. Although he was no match for Tang Bai, his only mission was to hold Tang Bai down.

“Die!” Zhao Feng gripped his sword with both hands and slashed.

Seeing that this massive sword was about to hit him, the azure-robed man grimaced and prepared to flee. But at this moment, he realized that his thoughts and movements had all slowed to a crawl. He could not dodge this strike!

“Kid, you’re too arrogant!”

But the azure-robed man’s side had many God Lords. They immediately took action to block this strike for him.

At this moment, God Lord Crazysword and the others arrived. The red-robed woman and the other God Lords immediately turned to deal with these newcomers.

“Die!” Zhao Feng’s left eye focused on the azure-robed man.

Thwish!

Eye Intent pulsed, and then a miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword exploded forward. The azure-robed man, who believed that he was free from danger, suddenly sensed that death was imminent.

“Oh no!” The azure-robed man hurriedly used a defensive soul art. A large azure bell suddenly appeared around him. Boom! Bang!

The Chaos Origin Divine Sword pierced straight through the azure bell.

“Im-impossible!” The azure-robed man’s eyes bulged as his body shivered.

Thwish!

After piercing through the bell, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword stabbed through his soul, sending Chaos Origin energy rampaging through his body. A moment later, his soul crumbled and vanished.

“Dead?” The red-robed woman was stunned. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng killed a First Heaven God Lord. How was this possible?

“Okay!” The black-armored man rejoiced. Now that Zhao Feng had killed one, the pressure on their side was greatly reduced.

“Kill!” After killing one person, Zhao Feng immediately proceeded toward another God Lord.

He had not used the eye-bloodline techniques he was so skilled against these people before, so he was able to catch them off guard. With Zhao Feng’s peak First Heaven Soul Intent, that azure-robed man’s defensive soul technique might as well have been made of paper.

Bzzzz!

The power of the Time Law engulfed a First Heaven God Lord of Vermillion Bird Pavilion.

“Oh no!” This God Lord immediately felt an ill foreboding and cried for help. But at this moment, only one God Lord could come to his aid.

Thwish!

Zhao Feng’s incredible speed allowed him to shoot past this God Lord as well as fire off several Chaos Origin Divine Sword bolts to keep him busy.

“No…!” This Vermillion Bird Pavilion God Lord felt intense danger and burned his Divine Power. The image of a vast Divine Kingdom appeared around him.

But no matter what he did, Zhao Feng charged forward, wildly swinging his Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword. Boom! Bang!

The Divine Kingdom image shattered, and several indelible pitch-black wounds were left on the Vermillion Bird Pavilion God Lord’s body.

But Zhao Feng’s attacks did not stop there. A bolt of Chaos Origin energy shot forward, mixed together with Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame.

Boom! Bang!

The Vermillion Bird Pavilion God Lord was instantly slain under Zhao Feng’s flood of attacks. Another God Lord had fallen!

God Lord Vastsoul was flabbergasted, and then he called out in shock, “How could this be? This kid seems even stronger than before!”

“He has a Time Law! Ordinary First Heaven God Lords are powerless against him.” The red-robed woman felt helpless. “Great! Brother Zhao, I really wasn’t wrong about you!” Tang Bai was ecstatic.

God Lord Crazysword and the violet-robed old woman were also delighted. They had all regarded Zhao Feng as an ordinary God Lord, but Zhao Feng’s performance in this battle left them truly astounded. Even the number two expert of the team, God Lord Crazysword, was no match for Zhao Feng.

In the distance, the leaders of Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate grimaced. Zhao Feng had killed a God Lord apiece from Swift Wind Gate and Vermillion Bird Pavilion.

“To think that this person was this strong!” Swift Wind Gate Master’s gaze turned extremely gloomy. He silently cursed, That useless fool, to think that he made me lose out on such a force! Swift Wind Gate Master was naturally cursing the now-deceased azure-robed man.

“This kid is incredibly powerful! Our side has lost the advantage!” The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master clenched his fists. Flames burned on his robe as he prepared to enter the battle.

But at this moment, the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master received a message. He suddenly paled, becoming so furious that all the flames in the region began to tremble.

“Damn… you actually dared to trick me!?” The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master furiously glared at Swift Wind Gate Master.

He just received word that the members of Swift Wind Gate had reached the center of the Burning Heaven Sea and drawn out the Ancestral Artifact fragment!

When Swift Wind Gate had proposed this temporary alliance, he sensed that something was fishy, but since Tang Bai’s team had killed the Crimson Elder, he decided to agree. He was on guard against Swift Wind Gate Master this entire time, never expecting that Swift Wind Gate had another scheme entirely.
