Peerless War God

On the battlefield, a tall platform was built on top of the highest mountain peak, and the flag of the Third Prince was hung up. It fluttered in the wind, and from afar, one could see it clearly.    

On the high platform, there were two seats. The Third Prince sat down, took out a bottle of wine, and said to Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao paused, took the bottle of wine, and opened it. He drank it all in one gulp, as if it was water.    

When the Third Prince saw this, he still felt a little pain in his heart. He could not help but mock, "You drink so extravagantly. I admire it."    

Chen Xiao laughed and said, "How can I drink wine?"    

Standing on the high platform, the field of vision was extremely wide. One could see the entire battlefield with a single glance.    

The Third Prince smiled slightly and also took out a bottle of wine. He and Chen Xiao clinked their bottles and gulped down.    

Chen Xiao noticed that the Third Prince's hand was trembling slightly. Was he afraid? But it did not seem like it.    

"Third Prince, you are also in a good mood. This is the first time that you drink wine on the battlefield."    

Chen Xiao said, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of wine. He immediately felt comfortable and wonderful.    

When the Third Prince heard this, he could also tell that Chen Xiao was mocking him. He smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. Aside from being a mascot to raise the morale of the soldiers, I can't do anything else. This is the only thing I can do."    

He was very clear about his own strength. Escaping was no problem, but if he were to personally fight the enemy, he would be at a loss and fearful of the monstrous attack of the Evil Sect's Tribulation Transcender.    

In the end, he was born in a royal family. Even though he had the strength of the late stage of the Tribulation Transcender, he did not have the corresponding combat strength.    

He thought that he was not a privileged person, but in the face of a life-and-death battle, he was still a little fearful.    

Sigh.    

"Gu Gu."    

Chen Xiao raised his head and drank the wine in his hand. He threw the empty bottle on the ground and shattered it.    

His eyes were deep as he looked at the distant blackness of the Evil Sect's stronghold, which was in full preparation for defense. He said in a deep voice, "So far, you have done very well. It's enough."    

"Really? I, sigh."    

The Third Prince sighed with a complicated expression.    

His previous bold words had disappeared at this moment. After experiencing the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield, his personality had changed.    

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, at least you have done it yourself. It's much stronger than your big brother and the Seventh Prince. It's also much stronger than the current Divine Emperor, isn't it?"    

When the Third Prince heard this, his heart shook. His thoughts immediately became clear. He let out a long sigh and looked at Chen Xiao.    

"Brother Chen Xiao, if my father hears your words, he will be very unhappy. Haha."    

Chen Xiao laughed, "What? You still want to tell me?"    

The Third Prince shook his head and said, "Of course not."    

"Then that's fine."    

"Hehe."    

Chen Xiao no longer paid any attention to the Third Prince. He stood up and walked to the side. He sat down cross-legged and took out a few pills. He stuffed them into his mouth and quickly refined them.    

Seeing this, the Third Prince took a deep breath and pointed to a guard beside him, "You, go and patrol the cannon. See how the rune cannon is ready."    

"Yes."    

...    

"Damn it, damn it, how could it be? How could the Demon Blade die? His soul slip must have shattered. He must have died. How could it be like this?"    

In the hall of the Evil Cult fortress, the Demon Blade, who was high above, lowered his head. His eyes were filled with gloominess and he was extremely unwilling. He kept muttering to himself as if he had been possessed.    

He could not figure out what had happened in Jingbian City. How could the Demon Blade die just like that?    

How did the other party do it?    

The more he thought about it, the more restless and uneasy he became, and the more irritated he became.    

A huge ominous feeling enveloped his heart, and the shadow of it could not be wiped away.    

"Damn it, how could I fail? I won't fail. I won't."    

He let out a low roar, like a wounded beast.    

At this time, a figure with a fishy smell rushed over and entered the hall.    

The black-robed Protector raised his head and saw that it was a group of escaping Evil Sect Tribulation Transcenders. Many of them were injured, and their injuries weren’t light.    

He glanced at them and saw that half of them hadn’t returned.    

“Lord Protector.”    

“Lord Protector.”    

The group of Evil Sect Tribulation Transcenders stared at the black-robed Protector with eyes full of desire, wanting him to give them an explanation.    

The black-robed Protector covered his face and sighed. “Only half of them returned?”    

Below, the group of Evil Sect Tribulation Transcendors looked at each other, and their expressions were extremely unsightly. They nodded with difficulty and said, “Yes, the other party has hidden experts and possesses a Mysterious Divine Spirit Treasure. We’re no match for them, and we suffered a great loss. Lord Protector, please be enlightened. We’re not afraid of death and dare not fight.”    

Hearing this, the black-robed Protector took a deep breath. He wasn’t blind, so he naturally knew that what these people said was true.    

However, he was truly unable to accept such an outcome.    

He forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart and said, “I understand. This matter isn’t your fault. You’ve already done your best. This is the compensation that this seat has given you.”    

As he spoke, he took out a few dozen medicinal pills that were wrapped in Black Fiend Energy and distributed them to everyone.    

Below, the originally indignant Evil Sect Tribulation Transcenders revealed happy expressions when they saw this.    

“Thank you, Lord Protector.”    

“Thank you, Lord Protector.” “Thank you, Lord Protector.”    

The black-robed Protector said again, “Alright, all of you can withdraw. Go and maintain the defensive formation. Prepare to face the enemy. Victory or defeat will depend on this.”    

“Yes.”    

“Yes.”    

All the Evil Sect Tribulation Transcenders answered in unison.    

At this moment, an Evil Sect Tribulation Transcender mustered up his courage and stood out, and he couldn’t help but ask. “Lord Protector, I wonder where Lord Saber Demon is and why he hasn’t made an appearance all along. Now that we’ve suffered a crushing defeat and are on the verge of death, why…”    

“Hmph! Is this something you should ask?” The black clothed Protector was instantly enraged, and he glared with wide eyes that were covered in blood and revealed a savage and murderous expression.    

“This…”    

This Evil Sect Tribulation Transcender was terrified. He’d never seen the black clothed Protector become so enraged before.    

He knew that he’d definitely spoken the wrong words, and his face instantly turned ghastly pale.    

When he saw this, the black clothed Protector forcefully suppressed the uneasiness and rage in his heart, and he said in a low voice, “I have my own considerations regarding the matter of Protector Saber Demon. All of you carry out your duties and go back to deploy the defenses. You mustn’t make any mistakes, otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.”    

When they heard this, all the Evil Sect Tribulation Transcenders felt as if they were granted amnesty, and they heaved a sigh of relief.    

“Yes.”    

“Yes.” “Go.”    

Only then did everyone withdraw and go to deploy the defenses. They were very clearly aware that this battle wasn’t only a victory for the Divine Sect, and it was related to their survival as well. If they won, then it would naturally be a great joy, but if they lost, then all of them would die, and no one would be spared.    

The black clothed Protector was the only one left in the hall, and he frowned as he pondered bitterly.    

“Saber Demon, are you really going to die just like that?”
