Chapter 1373 In terms of Risking Our Lives, You Can"t Compare to Us (3)
The defeat was like a landslide. Although the soldiers of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom didn"t fail, there wasn"t much difference between the current situation and a defeat.
They no longer had any fighting spirit. At this moment, it was even more terrifying than defeat.
Most importantly, even the Nomological realm experts of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom lost their fighting spirit.
"I"ll let you live a few more days then!" Zhan Jingtao roared.
He slashed out with the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber, forcing Ji Lutian back. Then he retreated into the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom like lightning.
Ji Lutian chased after him. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, Lin Kedi appeared beside Ji Lutian and reached out to support him.
His opponent had already retreated to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
"Do you think you can come and go as you please? What do you take our human territory for?!" Zhou Shu shouted.
His main body didn"t go, but the three remaining incarnations turned into rays of light and rushed into the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
Lin Kedi opened his mouth. Isn"t that too fierce? Do you want to die?
Although the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom has retreated, they haven"t been defeated. They just don"t want to risk their lives.
If you rush into someone else"s nest, will they let you off?
You"re courting death!
I don"t even dare to do such a thing.
"d.a.m.n it!" Zhan Jingtao roared. He didn"t expect Zhou Shu to dare to kill his way into the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
"It"s impolite not to reciprocate! Zhan Jingtao, I"ll let you know what it feels like to be invaded now!"
In the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, heavy water was boiling. The humans could no longer see what was happening inside.
The roars indicated that the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was in chaos.
Gruu!
Zhou Shu"s main body, who stayed in the ancestral land, swayed slightly and spat out a mouthful of blood.
In a short period of time, he had created five incarnations and experienced another battle. This time, he had really injured his origin.
In a short period of time, he was no longer able to fight. Otherwise, it would really affect his cultivation.
"Your Highness!" the human martial artists exclaimed.
Zhou Shu waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and said weakly, "Big Brother, after this battle, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom probably won"t dare to attack easily for the time being. But we have to be on guard against their small-scale invasion. I"ll leave this to you."
"Leave it to me," Mi Ziwen said solemnly.
"General Lin, thank you. I"ll forge the armor I promised you as soon as possible." Zhou Shu turned to Lin Kedi.
"You don"t have to be so polite. I was paid to work," Lin Kedi said seriously. "King Zhou, please forgive me for being blunt. If the hidden experts of the human race don"t make a move next time, we might not be able to stop the experts of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom."
Lin Kedi said grimly, "There are more experts from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom than just today. Even our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom is extremely afraid of their strength."
It was true that he was a mercenary, but he had already reached his limit.
This time, he had paid a considerable price to block four Nomological realm experts.
If not for the fact that the opponents weren"t willing to risk their lives or even suffer too serious injuries, even Lin Kedi wouldn"t have been able to stop the four Nomological realm experts.
Actually, Lin Kedi also understood the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. This was why he dared to say that he could block four Nomological realm experts.
The people of the Five Heavenly Lingdoms wouldn"t fight to the death unless it was absolutely necessary.
"I know." Zhou Shu nodded. This time, the human race had relied on their desperation to scare the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom away. But the next time, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom would probably be mentally prepared. They probably wouldn"t be scared away so easily.
But with his three incarnations charging into the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, Zhan Jingtao and the others definitely didn"t dare to immediately launch a full-scale attack.
The human race had more time.
Although there were many casualties among the humans, it was not without gains.
Meng Bai had reached the half-step Nomological realm, and w.a.n.g Xin had broken through to the Grotto-Heaven Master realm.
If a few more such situations happened, the strength of the human race would definitely increase.
Zhou Shu pondered and asked, "Brother Lin, I have a question I want to ask you. Is it convenient?"
"Ask away," Lin Kedi said.
After experiencing two great battles, Lin Kedi now felt respect for the human race.
He now treated the human race as his comrades. It was hard to describe the subtle trust he felt.
Now, as long as it didn"t involve the secrets of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, Lin Kedi didn"t mind telling Zhou Shu.
"I heard the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom keep shouting about the legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Court. How much do you know about this Ancient Heavenly Court?" Zhou Shu said seriously.
Hearing the words "remnants of the Heavenly Court", his ears were about to get calluses.
But to be honest, he didn"t know much about this Heavenly Court.
Zhou Shu didn"t even know what era this Heavenly Court existed in.
The ancient races had once left behind odd bits and pieces, but the Heavenly Court had never left any traces in the history of the human race.
If not for the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom calling them the remnants of the Heavenly Court, Zhou Shu wouldn"t even know that there was such a Heavenly Court in the history of the ancestral land.
"I don"t know much about the Ancient Heavenly Court." Lin Kedi shook his head. "I only know that back then, there were countless experts in the Ancient Heavenly Court, and they held the secret of eternal life. Later on, the Ancient Heavenly Court fell, and the secret of eternal life was lost. In fact, the Black Emperor tried to occupy the ancestral land because he wanted to find the legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Court and thus find the secret of eternal life.
"Since you humans have obtained the legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the Black Emperor will definitely not let you off. So, King Zhou, it"s best if you don"t hide any trump cards."
Zhou Shu pondered. "The secret of eternal life? Then, is your Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom also interested in the legacy of this Ancient Heavenly Court?"
"Of course. Who doesn"t want eternal life?" Lin Kedi said without any pretense. "But I think that the Ancient Heavenly Court might not really have this secret. If they could really live forever, how could the Ancient Heavenly Court fall? They didn"t live forever."
