Chapter 372: 205, 206. The Song Family Retreats from the World, Mountains and Rivers Seal (Subscription Request)_3
It wasn’t long before the Black Demon Eagle Riders were completely annihilated.
Yet, the Melting Flame Divine Edge did not kill Yan Baixiang; instead, it retracted its form, looking at the general who was kneeling peppered with wounds, and asked indifferently, "Where did Song Cheng go?"
Yan Baixiang’s throat bobbed, his eyes bloodshot and nearly splitting as he watched his efforts destroyed, his struggles turned into jokes...
"Little guy, you don’t need to despair. This was never a battle for your level. Defeating you brings me no joy," said the Melting Flame Divine Edge calmly, then he asked again, "Where’s Song Cheng?"
Hisss...
Hisss hiss...
Yan Baixiang’s hands tightly clutched the soil, his veins bulging beneath his skin.
"If your foster father were here, how could you stand here?"
The Melting Flame Divine Edge smiled faintly, "If your foster father had not been injured, he might have been able to fight me.
Now?
Heh... he’s just a shrinking turtle."
With that, he called out, "Song Cheng, do you dare come out and fight?"
The word "fight" echoed back and forth in the valley, taking a long time to settle down.
The Melting Flame Divine Edge shook his head in disappointment, then casually looked at Yan Baixiang and remarked, "This is your foster father," then turned to the generals of the Melting Fire Empire behind him and commanded, "Lock up General Yan."
Even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its strength.
Even though he felt certain he could defeat Song Cheng, he still wanted to capture some hostages.
...
...
In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.
The army and spies of the Melting Fire Empire had thoroughly entered the Yin Cloud Miasma, and the lightweight vanguard troops had bypassed "Accumulating Thunder Mountain, which had turned into a Chaotic Journey" with the Melting Flame Divine Edge, directly attacking the Imperial Capital of Great Song.
Divine power could destroy and could be invincible, but still needed someone to control the situation.
And at the moment his troops arrived at the city, the Imperial Capital of Great Song opened its gates directly.
The young and timid emperor wore an Imperial Crown, the Empress Dowager held a golden plate with the Imperial Seal on it, followed by densely packed officials.
The vanguard of the Melting Fire Empire laughed loudly; the leading general looked ambiguously at the young Empress Dowager but only swept his gaze before quickly lowering it, thinking to himself ’there will be opportunities later.’
Who could resist the charm of a dethroned young Empress Dowager?
However, he also revered deities, so he dared not act recklessly.
"I, leading the officials, open the city and surrender, only hoping that the deity will treat the people kindly. Whatever the deity needs, I will assist with all my might," Song Changjian said tremblingly.
The Melting Flame Divine Edge smiled indifferently and shook his head; he seemed to be reminded of his own descendants.
If one day the roles were reversed, would his descendants be so cowardly?
As the thought passed, he stepped forward, his figure creating a phantom shadow and instantly entering the city.
His voice floated back...
"Come, I bestow upon you a secret remedy."
Ji Youke took a long breath, relieved that she had not yet taken the secret remedy from her father-in-law; now that she had taken the deity’s secret remedy, she considered herself lucky to have survived. She quickly knelt down and respectfully said, "Thank you, master."
As she spoke, she hurriedly tugged at Song Changjian.
To whom one pledges allegiance does not matter.
At least with this master, there was hope for the Ji Family to be restored.
While Song Changjian, being a descendant of the Song Family, had on ordinary days witnessed his father’s arrogance and heard his grandfather’s legends, he hesitated. Yet feeling the tug on his robe, he understood "it had come to this" and knelt down too, tremblingly saying, "Tha... thank you... master."
The Melting Flame Divine Edge nodded silently, he still needed these people of the Song Family to help him find Song Cheng’s whereabouts...
As he walked on, he suddenly saw the thriving Xuanwu Taoist Temple and smirked dismissively as he walked on.
He knew this was Song Cheng’s Taoist Temple.
But he wouldn’t tear it down...
He was looking forward to Song Cheng coming back through here at any time.
He had seen the Chaotic Journey of Accumulating Thunder Mountain, which still harbored roaming forces; even he would be trapped for a long time if he entered...
Since Song Cheng had undergone such a high-level battle, he must be severely injured by now.
He would gather strength and wait for Song Cheng’s return.
If Song Cheng did not return, then he wouldn’t blame him for turning Great Song into a land of Extinction.
After all... the Multiple Ghosts were already assembling in the canal; this place was just a step away from the land of Extinction.
...
...
...
After an indeterminate amount of time.
In the extremely distant north.
Despite the bleak white snow flurrying around, when it reached here, falling on the oddly shaped, somewhat cracked brownish-yellow soil, it quickly melted.
The soil was exceedingly dry, enclosing a subdued, low-key, and calm inland sea.
The surface of the water displayed an odd blue-black color, seeming bottomless at a glance, with vague strings of bubbles rising from the seabed, silently merging with the surface and gently bursting.
Motion, furthermore accentuating stillness.
However, this stillness was abruptly broken.
Suddenly, a pincer over a meter tall emerged from the water, followed by a monstrous thick-shell demon beast shrimp leaping from the sea, its shape exploding mid-air into a shadow approximately ten meters tall.
But, as if the shrimp’s commotion was too great, before it could return to the sea, another creature like a black cannonball fish "swooshed" through the water, leaping tens of meters.
With the furious rush of water and the thunder of bursting waves, accompanied by sharp, bizarre screams, that fish, covered in glinting scales, revealed its entirety under the sunlight, its large mouth open, displaying its tapered teeth, then caught the falling thick-shell shrimp in its mouth.
The tremendous bite force, hard teeth, crunched the shrimp with a "crackling" sound, resembling heavy steel armor being continuously stabbed by spikes while also being gripped by steel giant fists.
