Chapter 1888 - 1455: In the Field, the General Does Not Obey Orders!

"Boom!——"

The overwhelming fist momentum, like a landslide or tsunami, accompanied by a crimson punching energy column soaring into the sky, shocked Dugu Qiubai and startled many powerful beings within the entrance of Heaven Abyss who were attracted to the scene, even waking Zhu Wushi from his sudden enlightenment.

All those focusing on the entrance of Tianya in Heaven Abyss saw the originally ink-like black fog transform into spectacular, vividly colorful brocade-like flames that fluttered and gradually were torn into shreds by the fierce wind, eventually dissolving inside Heaven Abyss.

The Fallen Heaven and Earth Intent at the entrance of Tianya was thoroughly! leveled!

Under the joint forces of Jiang Dali and Guang Chengzi, the Fallen Heaven and Earth Intent at the entrance of Tianya could not muster any effective resistance.

Especially with Jiang Dali’s punch after his battle intent state momentum surged by twelve percent, he completely broke through the blockade of the Fallen Heaven and Earth Intent at the entrance of Tianya.

However, if it were elsewhere in the Heaven Abyss, breaking the blockade of the Fallen Heaven and Earth’s Will so easily would be extremely difficult.

"That damn kid! Who would have thought he had such a strong life force, and it seems his strength has increased yet again! The snake didn’t die, now we’re in trouble..."

In a dark corner near the depression below, Moluo, residing within Six Paths’ body, was watching with a gloomy face, his eyes filled with horror as he gazed at the majestic beam-like passage appearing above.

The oppressive momentum from above transformed into a gust that swept down, making his heart heavy.

At that moment, a wave of pain surged from his mind, and Moluo immediately restrained his emotions and shouted angrily, "Lao Liu, are you crazy! Now what situation? This pool is getting deeper, and you can’t handle it! Temporarily hand over control of the body to your ancestor me!"

A vague spiritual wave spread in his mind, and Moluo hesitated, his expression gradually replaced with a hint of ruthlessness, "Fine! As long as we can leave Heaven Abyss, it’s worth a shot!"

...

Mid-air.

Guang Chengzi forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart, turning to look down below.

Jiang Dali’s towering, golden-bronzed figure maintained its forward momentum with enormous golden wings, swept past him, soaring quickly through the passage cleared by fierce punching energy, spanning over ten feet wide and hundreds of feet high...

"What are you waiting for?"

A coarse voice came from above.

Guang Chengzi looked up, seeing Jiang Dali’s robust and magnificent silhouette block much of the light in the passage shining like a glowing red straight up to the sky, resembling an indomitable War God adorned with dazzling golden edges.

"It seems... Chuan Ying has transferred his power to him, and the War God Chronicles has been perfected! But the power this secret technique exerts in his hands is truly... terrifying! It’s already comparable to Xuan Yuan before he took the last step..."

Guang Chengzi mused inwardly, gathering his will, and swiftly followed, ascending into the sky.

The two figures quickly disappeared among the increasingly bright beams of light, approaching the entrance of Tianya outside Heaven Abyss.

In that moment, Jiang Dali abruptly sensed a sharp gaze filled with excitement and coldness watching him.

An astonishingly condensed pressure and sharpness immediately gave him a piercing pain, as if his entire being, including his spirit and soul, were being sliced open.

"What strong Sword Intent!"

Jiang Dali’s heart pounded fiercely, his blood rushing through his body like liquid mercury, as his War God’s Will was inexplicably heightened.

Within a moment’s thought, a shocking transparent wave forged into Sword Qi sliced through the sky at an unbelievable speed, approaching in the blink of an eye.

In merely a nanosecond, the formidable Sword Qi descended upon him.

"Clang!"——

Intense sparks scattered with the fierce sweeping energy, forming a ring-shaped shockwave that dissipated.

Jiang Dali’s burly frame was pushed back under the massive impact, and the golden double wings behind him blocking in front were pierced open, allowing the golden power of the War God to spill out like golden sand, scattering in mid-air, forming starlike crystal points...

Bang!

His back trembled and was held up by the Guang Chengzi who came rushing from below, halting his downward fall.

"It’s the Holy Dynasty Guardian—Dugu Qiubai!"

Guang Chengzi’s voice came through.

Jiang Dali looked up, his tiger eyes gazing upwards.

Among the edge of Heaven Abyss, resembling the mountain’s peak, stood a tall figure holding a sword overlooking below, his facial features obscured by backlight.

Only the eyes, like cold stars, seemed to burn with two flames filled with battle intent, wielding a black sheathed longsword which had yet to be drawn.

"Dugu Qiubai? ...Long have I heard of your great name!"

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, converting the Inner Strength within his Dantian to War God Power, continuously channeling it into the Illusion Soul Wings, instantly restoring the gap as if it was never there. With a flap, he soared upward again beside Guang Chengzi.

Dugu Qiubai gazed at Jiang Dali’s fearlessly bold and awe-inspiring demeanor, his cold lips curving into an intrigued smile, "For thousands of years, new faces often enter Heaven Abyss, but rarely do they stay in my memory. Your strength isn’t bad, state your name."

"Oh?"

Jiang Dali crossed his arms and smiled faintly, saying, "It seems making you remember the name Dugu Qiubai is difficult, and making you draw your sword is even harder? This village chief is the Black Wind Village Chief, Jiang Dali, have you heard of me?"

Dugu Qiubai’s gaze flashed like a sword, nodded slightly, and said, "So it’s Marquis Wei Wu... Unfortunately, since you have entered the Sky, whether you are a king, prince, general, or from the royal family, none can leave the Sky from here."

"Hahahahaha!"

Guang Chengzi suddenly laughed, his beard trembling with laughter, saying, "Dugu Qiubai, everyone says you’re arrogant and aloof, but my master sees you not as arrogantly aloof, but as foolish.

Last time you managed to stop my master, merely because my master was exhausted from resisting Heaven and Earth’s Intent. This time, my master and Master’s Jiang join forces, and instead of fleeing with your tail between your legs, you dare to boast here?"

Dugu Qiubai lifted his sword, smiling faintly, "Last time, you only made me draw my sword."

Guang Chengzi’s heart grew tense, realizing the meaning within Dugu Qiubai’s words, he transmitted a warning to Jiang Dali, saying, "Later, strike with full force without carelessness, this Dugu Qiubai once refined the Emperor’s Sword Qi within the Emperor’s Treasure Vault, and absorbed a strand of nurturing Mother Qi from the origin of this world within the Sky. That strand of Mother Qi mostly nurtured the Earth Crystal Core, and even a strand of this Mother Qi places him in an incredibly heavy realm...

Moreover, he once received the sword Dao inheritance of his nameless senior brother Mu Yingxiong, that Mu Yingxiong had swords bow to him at birth, his sword Dao talent no less than the nameless one..."

Jiang Dali frowned, transmitting, "These important messages, and you are only telling me now?"

Upon hearing about Dugu Qiubai’s series of encounters, even Jiang Dali, who also had numerous fortuitous encounters himself, could not help the surge of jealousy and frustration within him.

The life of Dugu Qiubai was truly one that surpassed the protagonist without being one.

Those whom he trained, characters from ancient texts such as Yang Guo and Ling Hu Chong, none could match his talent and strength, and now even their fortunes could not compare to this legendary figure.

During their mental transmissions, both ceased their ascent into the sky.

This was because Dugu Qiubai’s hand was gripping the hilt of his sword, and the grand Sword Intent gradually arising from him was like dark clouds filling the sky, forming a terrifying force field enveloping the two, giving a palpable feeling of an impending storm.

It seemed as though once the sword was drawn, it would shatter the sky.

However, right at this tense moment of imminent clash, a gentle voice as soft as a woman’s accompanied by a circle of space fluctuation suddenly transmitted from the air outside of the Sky.

"The Regent King has an edict: Dugu Townkeeper, heed the decree!"

"Regent King?"

Jiang Dali was taken aback.

Dugu Qiubai’s expression remained calm, he said plainly, "Speak!"

Amidst the ripples of spatial waves, a eunuch with a pale face seemingly devoid of blood stepped forward, his figure descending slowly as if supported by an invisible ladder, smiling as he opened a royal decree to read aloud.

"By Heaven’s command, this king conveys the Emperor’s decree: Although Marquis Wei Wu is a noble of the Holy Dynasty, having deeply fallen into the Sky, he is no different from a criminal. Dugu Townkeeper also cannot treat him differently, allowing him to leave.

Yet, Marquis Wei Wu is indeed a noble of the Holy Dynasty, having accomplished great merits for our dynasty. His future is boundless. According to the laws of the Holy Dynasty, all who are titled as marquis or consort, unless committing treason or grave crimes warranting the extermination of nine generations, have the privilege of exemption from death once.

Thus, Dugu Townkeeper must not harm Marquis Wei Wu’s life.

By decree!"

When the eunuch finished reading with cadence, his figure had completely descended to the ground, his eyes smilingly observing Dugu Qiubai’s back, saying, "Dugu Townkeeper, accept the decree!"

Though he spoke this way, the eunuch had already assessed the situation within the Sky, his face smiling while his heart began to sink.

No one expected that Jiang Dali had already allied with Guang Chengzi to storm the Sky, making the decree he was reading somewhat untimely, likely unable to resolve the situation that had become somewhat complex.

Yet at this moment, the Regent King, who sent him here using the Breaking Realm Power, must also be aware of this situation, so the situation is still under control.

Jiang Dali and Guang Chengzi, within the Sky, though they couldn’t see the eunuch’s figure, upon hearing the decree personally issued by the Regent King, instantly comprehended the Regent King’s intent.

Evidently, the Regent King was indirectly restraining and binding Dugu Qiubai’s power within the limits of the Holy Dynasty law, not believing Dugu Qiubai had the ability to kill Jiang Dali, but ensuring Dugu Qiubai would hesitate to act as an assassin, enabling Jiang Dali to possibly escape the Sky.

Dugu Qiubai was silent for a moment, then snorted coldly, saying, "The general is outside, and the Emperor’s command is sometimes not adhered to. As the saying goes, the Emperor breaks the law, the same penalty as for commoners. Marquis Wei Wu falling into the Sky is no different.

To have me show mercy to a criminal leaving the Sky, this is definitely impossible!"

As his words ended, the eunuch’s expression slightly changed.

A sword hummed like scraping divine iron from the heavens, causing one’s heart to shudder in fear, suddenly resonated in the sky... A flash of bright sword light accompanied by terrifying pressure first targeted Jiang Dali!

In an instant, the air fiercely vibrated and compressed, as if an iron board crushed down, transforming into a massive Sword Qi, tens of meters long and two meters wide!

"Be careful, it’s nurturing Mother Qi!"

Guang Chengzi’s face changed abruptly...
