Peerless War God

However, no matter whether it was Duan Wang or Xing Wu, neither of them paid any attention to him. Instead, they arrogantly placed various seals on Cheng Huang's soul. It was clear these two wanted to imprison him and hand him over to the Celestial Emperor.    

How could Cheng Wang not know?    

After trying several times but being unable to break free, an unswerving determination appeared on Cheng Wang's face.    

Soon after, Cheng Wang and Xing Wu noticed that something was off. Even Chen Xiao's expression changed as he quickly flew off into the distance.    

"Not good! He's going to self-detonate! Stop him!"    

Duan Wang Li shouted.    

However, at this moment, how could he stop it?    

At the same time that Duan Wang shouted these words, Cheng Wang's golden light exploded. A powerful light directly enveloped both Xing Wu and Duan Wang, quickly sweeping towards Chen Xiao.    

This time, Chen Xiao was unable to escape into the small world in time and instantly vomited out a large mouthful of blood. His body was also blown thousands of meters away by the shockwave.    

Only after flying nearly ten thousand meters away did he finally manage to stop. He looked towards the place where the explosion had occurred, and saw many black spatial cracks spreading out crazily in all directions.    

Evidently, King Cheng's self-detonation was much more terrifying than the Divine Soul Realm general before. Even this region of heaven and earth could not endure the self-detonation, and was directly torn apart by the powerful might of the self-detonation.    

Using his psychic power to avoid the spatial rifts, he quickly found the battered Xing Wu and the unconscious Duan Wang!    

At this moment, Xing Wu's high ranking armor had already disappeared. Even his armor was tattered and his face was covered in blood. It was as if he had just climbed out of a pile of corpses.    

It was the same on King Cheng's side. His shirt was already completely torn, and he had fallen into a coma. His aura was also extremely weak.    

Chen Xiao's brow creased. He glanced at Xing Wu for a moment, then quickly walked over to Duke Duan's side and began investigating his injuries.    

Only after checking, did Chen Xiao realize that in the explosion just now, nearly a third of the bones in Duan Wang's body had been broken, and even his internal organs had been damaged to some extent. If not for the fact that the body of a Divine Soul Realm practitioner was strong enough, he would probably have been blasted into bloody mist and dissipated into the air.    

After the inspection, Chen Xiao immediately took out a pill from his storage ring. While Duan Wang was unconscious, he pinched his mouth and stuffed it in, then casted a spell to help him digest it.    

When he saw that the energy within Duan Wang's body had started to slowly condense and absorb its own medicinal strength, he withdrew his own energy and allowed Duan Wang to heal his wounds. He then turned around and walked towards Xing Wu.    

Just now, when Chen Xiao started treating Duan Wang, Xing Wu had been coldly watching from the side. Now that he saw Chen Xiao walking towards him, he immediately frowned and traces of mana began to emerge from his body.    

Chen Xiao, who was getting closer, immediately reacted.    

At this point, Xing Wu had most likely used up all of his magic power. Even if his injuries were better than Duan Wang's, they wouldn't be much better off.    

On the other hand, because Chen Xiao had run far enough, although he was also heavily injured, he did not look as bedraggled on the outside.    

In other words, Chen Xiao already had the ability to kill Xing Wu. In this situation, Xing Wu was someone who was extremely cautious, so he naturally had to be wary of anyone who could harm him, even if that person was one of his men!    

After all, no one was sure if Chen Xiao would suddenly make a move and kill both him and Duan Wang. Then, he would dump the bag on Cheng Wang and bring Cheng Wang's body back to claim credit. When that time came, the credit for killing Cheng Wang would belong to Chen Xiao alone.    

For the sake of being a Heavenly King, Chen Xiao had a reason to take the risk!    

However, he threw out a bottle of medicine from his spatial ring and passed it to Xing Wu. "Senior Xing, this is a Grade Nine Healing Pill that this junior refined. Your injuries are not light, and consuming it will help you recover soon!"    

After throwing that sentence, Chen Xiao didn't say anything else and directly went back to Duan Wang's side, continuing to observe Duan Wang.    

At this moment, Duan Wang's aura had gradually become stronger. Chen Xiao was waiting at the side. While he was silently waiting, he was also rapidly recovering from his injuries.    

Roughly an hour later, Duan Wang let out a stuffy grunt and slowly woke up.    

When he woke up, he found Chen Xiao sitting cross-legged not too far away. He looked at Xing Wu on the other side and immediately understood. After nodding at Chen Xiao, he immediately sat cross-legged in midair and began to quickly recover from his injuries.    

A full six hours passed in the blink of an eye.    

During these six hours, no one spoke.    

The three of them were trying their best to recover from their injuries.    

After six hours, Duan Wang was finally able to move freely. He changed into a suit of armor and put it on before standing up and saying in a deep voice, "Since the thief has already been killed, it's time for us to take his corpse back and clean up the mess!"    

"Mm, that's how it should be!" Xing Wu nodded and looked at Chen Xiao, his gaze softening a bit.    

Previously, Chen Xiao didn't seem to want to get any closer to him. This greatly reduced Xing Wu's suspicion of Chen Xiao.    

After all, if Chen Xiao had truly attacked earlier, he did not have the confidence to escape.    

Chen Xiao glanced at Xing Wu, then at Duan Wang, before turning around to look at Cheng Wang's corpse that was locked in midair. He instantly understood what was going on.    

After all, Duke Cheng was a master of Divine Soul Realm. Even if he was already dead, his corpse was still strong enough and it wasn't destroyed from the explosion earlier.    

Chen Xiao went up and hacked Cheng Wang's head off. At the same time, he took off Cheng Wang's storage ring and put all the bodies into an empty storage ring. Then, he gave all of them to Duan Wang.    

Duan Wang didn't even look at it. He handed it over to Xing Wu.    

"Let's go!"    

With these words, Xing Wu turned into a streak of light and rushed toward the battlefield.    

"Let's follow them. This time, you've done very well. You've done a great service in killing the King. I'll report this to His Majesty!" King Duan said to Chen Xiao with a smile and quickly followed.    

Chen Xiao naturally would not fall behind and also quickly followed.    

In the battlefield.    

After such a long period of fighting, the battle had long ago entered its final phase.    

With King Duan's army of a million and the entanglement of the close guard, those people were ultimately unable to break through the blockade and charge out.    

Following that, the troops of the other three new kings also arrived. There was no way for these people to survive.    

After the five factions had assembled, they quickly began to encircle and annihilate the remaining beast kings.
