Chapter 254

The fiendcelestials on the eastern, western, and northern city walls also knew that the war’s objective would not be met . They did not hesitate to retreat .

“Join forces with me to deal with him . ” E’chen rushed to the northern wall, in the hopes of joining the other fiendcelestials on the northern wall . However, the four fiendcelestials that were there had already begun fleeing frantically . They were all first-Firmament fiendcelestials and did not dare get involved .

“The audacity of you four!” E’chen’s eyes were filled with cruel ferocity . Behind him, Qin Yun was rapidly catching up to him .

Whoosh .

E’chen and Qin Yun crossed the city walls one after another and entered the desolate plains . However, Qin Yun was clearly faster .

“You won’t escape!”

With sword in hand, Qin Yun chased up to him in a blink of an eye .

“He’s so fast . ” E’chen turned anxious . Worse of all, the other fiendcelestials did not dare involve themselves in this matter . Kanqi and Yumo were in pursuit but they were much slower than Qin Yun .

“Die . ” Once he was in close proximity, Yi Yun slashed out .

E’chen turned around immediately as he lashed out his tail with formidable strength . The scaled armor on the tail was extremely formidable but, with a flash from Qin Yun’s sword beam, the tail was instantly sliced off .

“His sword arts are overwhelming . ” E’chen was panicking . He swiped both his sharp claws, one aimed at Qin Yun’s head, while the other hurled straight towards Qin Yun’s chest .

“Swoosh . “

The blue and yellow clouds came crashing together, causing E’chen’s strength to be reduced to seventy percent .

With the divine power, Infinite Light, Qin Yun’s speed was astounding . With a whoosh, he circled E’chen in the form of an illusionary stream while striking constantly! E’chen’s body was constantly lacerated, suffering continuous damage . For example, just as his arm was cleaved off, it rapidly grew back . But the speed at which it grew was not as fast as Qin Yun’s strikes .

In a blink of an eye, Qin Yun had delivered hundreds of strikes . The hundreds of sword shadows lingered on and continued lacerating E’chen’s body, dicing it up into countless pieces . Even his heart, brain, and other vital organs were pulverized . Following that, the blue and yellow clouds ground the remnant parts of his body to dust . All that was left of him were two sharp claws that remained intact .

“Let’s see if you can still revive after that . ” Qin Yun’s Dao domain allowed him to perceive his surroundings with extremely sharp senses . E’chen’s claws no longer had any life in them .

E’chen was dead .

The two Blackwater Pond fiendcelestials had died under Qin Yun’s blade .

Qin Yun looked up and saw Kanqi and Yumo arrive in front of him but they stopped at a safe distance .

Qin Yun leisurely extended his hand, making a cloth bag float up . He threw the two claws in it .

“Hmph!”

“Let’s go!”

Kanqi and Yumo gave Qin Yun a cold look before transforming into streams of light that departed with the other retreating fiendcelestials .

The both of them knew that even if they joined forces, they could not do anything to Highwarrior Qinyun .

“Swoosh . “

The fiery-red fiend dragon, Wu Siyou, was flying east when he joined up with Kanqi and Yumo . Firephoenix did not continue chasing them . In terms of strength, she was only slightly better than Wu Siyou! It was difficult for them to stop one another from retreating . At best, they could cause an interference . Only by joining forces with Kanqi and Yumo was Wu Siyou able to hold Firephoenix back before .

“Qinyun . ” Firephoenix stood in midair as she smiled at Qin Yun . “You made a breakthrough and stepped into the Dao at a critical juncture . You even killed three fiendcelestials . Two of them were even second-Firmament fiendcelestials . This battle was won mostly thanks to you . “

“I should be thanking you, Your Majesty,” said Qin Yun . “I only had the opportunity to finish off the Blackwater Pond brothers because the three most powerful fiendcelestials were busy fighting you . Besides, they only reached the second Firmament recently . “

The Blackwater Pond brothers, E’chen and E’long, were clearly much weaker than Kanqi and Yumo .

“They killed Linli sheerly by surprising him . The breakthrough you had was similarly unexpected . Their losses were far greater . ” Firephoenix nodded . “It’s just unfortunate for Linli . “

Although Firephoenix felt some grief, she quickly recovered from it .

Too many clansmen had died over the years .

…

“Retreat!”

“Retreat!”

There were fiendish demon leaders shouting out commands from various spots around Fire Phoenix City’s four walls .

Immediately, the dense horde of fiendish demons began receding like the tide . They had surrounded Fire Phoenix City but were too weak under the magus array’s suppression . It caused them to suffer terrible losses . Of course, the number of fiendish demons at the third Firmament of the Mortal realm was a still a hundred times more than humans . The fiendish demons could afford the great losses they suffered .

“They are retreating! Finally!” Firephoenix Yuqing heaved a sigh of relief . Her sword and body were covered in blood .

“We won!”

“Victory!”

The clansmen on the four walls heaved a sigh of relief . They felt a wave of emotions as the fiendish demon horde disappeared into the horizon . Even ants could bite an elephant to death with sufficient numbers . Although the magus array suppressed the fiendish demons, a prolonged war would still result in many clansmen dying .

They did not enjoy fighting like this . They only fought to survive .

“They are retreating! The fiendish demons are retreating!”

At Magus God Temple, the black-haired man that was controlling the magus array, as well as the other magi, heaved a sigh of relief while also feeling delighted .

Among them, Cailan saw Firephoenix and Qin Yun flying towards the eastern wall from afar .

“Elder Yun . ” Cailan immediately flew in the direction of the eastern wall .

******

After the fiendish demons got out of the magus array’s range, they began to ride clouds . The black clouds rolled away as they rapidly departed .

And in the eastern front, there was a group of fiendcelestials standing together on a black cloud .

They came fully confident with twenty fiendcelestials .

But now, only seventeen were left!

However, Qin Yun and company did not dare pursue any further . Previously, every Elder in Fire Phoenix City had the magus array augmenting them, allowing them to keep fighting with full cofidence . Without it, Elders at the first Firmament would be severely weakened .

“We actually lost . “

“Even the two from Blackwater Pond perished there . “

“Who knew that this newly promoted Godfiend Elder, Highwarrior Qinyun, would be that terrifying? He even stepped into the Dao at the most critical juncture . “

The fiendcelestials were feeling indignant .

“Not only has he stepped into the Dao . ” Kanqi said in a deep voice . “Highwarrior Qinyun’s Dao is clearly very powerful . Yumo and I couldn’t even stop him . With the Dao he grasps, it won’t take long for the humans to have another Godfiend at the third Firmament . “

Yumo added, “Other than the Connate Godfiends, there are only two humans that have managed to cultivate to the third Firmament since this world’s birth . From the looks of it, there will be three soon . And this third one… is too young! Just too young!”

“He’s only twenty-four . “

Wu Siyou was extremely somber as well . “There might be a chance for him to become a Skygod in the future . The humans currently only have one Skygod . We have suffered many losses in the numerous wars so if there’s a second Skygod, the situation will reverse . Currently, we from the fiendish demons are the aggressors but if a second Skygod were to appear, we will probably be the ones being hunted . “

“Whoosh . “

Wu Siyou waved his hand, causing the void in front of him to distort . It connected to a distant spot where a horrifying existence dwelled .

A faint phantom appeared in the distorted void .

“Empyrean Lord,” said Wu Siyou politely .

“Wu Siyou, is your attack on Fire Phoenix City over?” asked the figure .

“Fire Phoenix City has produced a new Godfiend Elder named Highwarrior Qinyun . While we were fighting him, he stepped into the Dao and produced an inconceivable strength . Once he stepped into the Dao, even Kanqi and Yumo were unable to obstruct him . It might not take long for him to reach the third Firmament of the Godfiend realm . He is presently only twenty-four . I’m afraid that the humans will produce a second Skygod!” Wu Siyou said politely . Immediately, the surrounding fiendcelestials fell silent .

“Highwarrior Qinyun?” muttered the phantom .

“Empyrean Lord, we have to think of means to get rid of him as soon as possible,” added Wu Siyou immediately .

******

On the Fire Phoenix City’s eastern wall .

Firephoenix, Qin Yun, Firephoenix Youxu, and Elder Muqi were all standing there . The other Elders were also flying over from the other city walls . They landed beside the group and looked into the distant east . The fiendish demons had retreated and the distant fiendcelestials were also rapidly fleeing before disappearing into the horizon .

“Victory!”

“Victory!”

The clansmen on the city walls raised their weapons in unison as they cheered loudly . They rejoiced at the sight of their victory .

Qin Yun, as well as the other Elders, smiled .

“Yun . ” Firephoenix Yuqing rushed over and grabbed Qin Yun’s arm .

“Yuqing?” Qin Yun was taken aback .

“Yun, you were so awesome . I saw everything . You killed those terrifying fiendcelestials . ” The wound on Firephoenix Yuqing’s face was gradually healing . There were still blood stains on her armor for she too had engaged in intense battles .

Qin Yun looked at Firephoenix Yuqing’s wound . Having spent time together for ten years, he had seen her grow up from the age of fourteen . In his heart, she was family .

“Be careful in the future,” said Qin Yun .

“It’s nothing . Just a small wound . ” Firephoenix Yuqing did not seem to care .

Qin Yun scanned the four walls and sighed inwardly . “Although we ended up victorious, we still had dozens of clansmen die . Furthermore, who knows when such a war will end? I remember that in the history of my homeworld, the Connate Godfiends and the Other Realm Fiendcelestial’s wars continued even after the Dao Ancestor imparted the Dao . And this world resembles the ancient era of my homeworld . This war will probably continue on for a very long time . “

“Just like Yuqing and the rest, they have to participate in battles every time . None of them can avoid combat . “

Just this time, the Elders lost Firephoenix Linli and dozens of other clansmen perished . That was a very common outcome . Furthermore, it was only because Qin Yun had eliminated two newly promoted second-Firmament fiendcelestials and one first-Firmament fiendcelestial that the humans clinched massive victory in this battle!

“Elder Yun . ” Cailan ran over to Qin Yun’s side as well . She was favored by Qin Yun’s parents after all .

The two women stood on each side of Qin Yun .

“Qinyun,” said Elder Muqi with a smile . “It won’t take long for you to reach the third Firmament . In the future, you can establish your own Godfiend family and get married! I think you need to find time to marry both Yuqing and Cailan . “

“Hahaha, starting a Godfiend family does require you to reproduce,” joked the surrounding Elders .

The clansmen on the city walls were laughing as well . Not far away, Qin Yun’s father, Highwarrior Ambition, who had participated in the war, chuckled too . Sending the enemy scurrying, surviving the war, and the likelihood of producing a second third-Firmament Godfiend in Fire Phoenix City were matters that deserved the clansmen’s joy .

However, Qin Yun felt his head ache .

Cailan and Firephoenix Yuqing’s blushed as they each stood beside Qin Yun .
