Chapter 1873: Defeat Without Battle
The Green Lotus Commander had been shocked by Lin Feng's strength, and now trembled at the power of the Sword Blind. Gazing at the sword light the Sword Blind unleashed, he murmured softly, "Could it be a strange law, the power of the Law of Light?"
The laws of the world were endless, yet the common ones were only so many, derived from the Five Elements. However, there were also strange and terrifying laws. For example, among some royal clans of demon beasts, they were born with the potential to cultivate strange laws.
While others cultivated the Law of Flame, the divine bird Golden Crow could comprehend the Law of the Sun, which was even more terrifying than the Law of Flame.
There were also extraordinary individuals with unparalleled talent who could comprehend the Law of Time. If they achieved the Dao, they would be incredibly fearsome—time and years would be but a single thought.
Another strange law was the Law of Light. This law was known for extreme speed. Not only that, but the light of the law could also dazzle the eyes and sting them. When applied to extraordinary swordsmanship, its power was immeasurable.
"On the battle platform, I didn't expect he hadn't used his true strength either. Otherwise, he probably could have fought six opponents alone." The Green Lotus Commander looked at the Sword Blind, speaking silently in his heart, his emotions slightly stirred.
The power of Tai Chi Life and Death, combined with the Light Sword—the killing power unleashed in that instant was unimaginably fierce and terrifying. Coupled with the lingering power of the Ruin Array Dao, the strong warriors of Chu Jiang City were almost swept away in an instant. When the smoke and dust cleared, of the more than ten Mid-rank Nether Emperor experts, eight had died, three had their eyes stabbed blind, two were severely injured, one was lightly injured, and only two remained unharmed.
This tragic scene made everyone's hearts tremble. The Nether Emperor of Chu Jiang City felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat, making strange sounds as if he wanted to say something. His eyes were wide open, but he remained speechless.
"Whoosh!" The Sword Blind's figure moved. He was still so simple, yet within that simplicity lurked a strange and powerful killing ability. The light flashed twice in succession, and instantly, the three blind men died by his hand. The Light Sword seemed to sever their souls and bodies in one stroke, reducing them to ashes.
The strong warriors of Chu Jiang City were stunned. They hadn't even reacted. The impact of that previous clash had been too strong for them, so much so that when the Sword Blind killed again, they were still in shock. But now, they finally realized the battle was far from over.
"Seal!" Lin Feng's figure trembled. He reached out with his hand and grabbed, instantly imprisoning a severely injured strong warrior from Chu Jiang City. Then, the Celestial Fate Sword directly tore through the sky, its light dazzling, piercing through the man's body and soul, killing him.
"Wake up!" The Nether Emperor of Chu Jiang City roared, shaking the void. Lin Feng and the Sword Blind both felt their heads tremble.
"Chi..." A Green Lotus sword intent directly pierced through the void. The sound of tearing flesh rolled out, and in an instant, three more people from Chu Jiang City died. This time, they were killed by the Green Lotus Commander.
"What are you doing?" The Nether Emperor of Chu Jiang City roared, his body radiating overwhelming fury.
"If a Nether Emperor realm person interferes, all other parties will jointly punish him." The Green Lotus Commander's expression was calm. His hand trembled again, and instantly, a strong warrior from Chu Jiang City was enveloped by his power. With a fierce squeeze, the man died on the spot.
The people from the other parties all turned their gazes to the Nether Emperor of Chu Jiang City. They saw his face turn ashen. That roar of his had indeed violated the rules, interfering with the battle. The five parties had made an agreement: Nether Emperor realm cultivators were not to interfere in the battle for any reason.
In an instant, the Mid-rank Nether Emperor experts of Chu Jiang City were slaughtered to the last man, all dead. Some died at the hands of Lin Feng and the Sword Blind, others were personally killed by the Green Lotus Commander. The Nether Emperor of Chu Jiang City was left speechless. These were all elite figures of their Chu Jiang City, all dead, killed cleanly, slaughtered to nothing. The victory that had been within their grasp was handed over to others.
"Tai Shan City, Qin Guang City, and Ping Deng City withdrew earlier. Now, Chu Jiang City was annihilated while competing with the disciples of my Song Emperor City. In this battlefield, my Song Emperor City wins. I trust no one has any objections." The Green Lotus Commander spoke slowly. The Nether Emperors of Tai Shan City and the other two cities nodded slightly. With two such figures in Song Emperor City turning the tide, what could they say? Anyway, the deaths of Chu Jiang City's people had nothing to do with them, and they were happy to watch the spectacle. Now, this Nether Emperor of Chu Jiang City must hate the people of Song Emperor City deeply. That would make things even more interesting.
As for this battlefield, they had already given up on it.
"Until we meet again." The Nether Emperor of Chu Jiang City coldly swept his gaze over the Green Lotus Commander, Lin Feng, and the Sword Blind. Then, he stamped his foot and turned to leave. There was no need to stay. Chu Jiang City's battlefield was this one. They had no hope for the other two battlefields, both of which had already been lost. Now that this battlefield had also been taken by Song Emperor City, there was nothing left for Chu Jiang City in the struggle for the ownership of this hell.
The people of Tai Shan City also left. All three of Tai Shan City's battlefields had been lost.
"Let's go." The Green Lotus Commander waved his hand, and instantly, a green lotus appeared in the void. Lin Feng and the Sword Blind stepped onto it, and the three of them rolled away.
The Nether Emperors of the various parties used transmission jade slips to agree on a gathering place. It was in the middle battlefield of the High-rank Emperor, a vast mountain range where the forces of the three parties gathered.
Wang Zhen and the Black Rope Commander looked toward the Green Lotus Commander's side. Wang Zhen spoke loudly, "I thought this battle had already been lost for Song Emperor City. I didn't expect the Green Lotus Commander's side to turn things around. But Commander, why did you only bring back two people?"
The Black Rope Commander stared at Lin Feng and the Sword Blind. He knew that Wang Zhuo had died. With Wang Zhuo dead, he had thought that battlefield was doomed to lose. But he had received a transmission from the Green Lotus Commander saying they had won.
"They all died in battle." The Green Lotus Commander said calmly, causing Wang Zhen's eyes to stiffen. All died in battle?
"So, Wang Zhuo is also dead?" Wang Zhen's expression was quite unpleasant. He and Wang Zhuo were direct blood relatives, both descendants of the Song Emperor. Now, Wang Zhuo was dead? How was he supposed to explain this to Wang Xiao?
"In the final decisive battle, Wang Zhuo died in battle, and these two survived. Song Emperor City won a bitter victory?" Wang Zhen asked again, staring at the Green Lotus Commander, his expression quite ugly. Lin Feng could survive, but Wang Zhuo died. Could it be that the Green Lotus Commander had deliberately protected Lin Feng?
"He died very early on." The Black Rope Commander spoke up. "Wang Xiao even came to demand an explanation, but I blocked him. What decisive battle? The gains in that battlefield probably had nothing to do with Wang Zhuo."
"Wang Xiao came here very early?" Wang Zhen's heart trembled, his expression dark. He looked at the Black Rope Commander and said, "Why didn't the two Commanders tell me earlier?"
With Wang Zhuo dead, even if he ultimately took this hell and became its commander, Wang Xiao would not let him off easily.
The Black Rope Commander frowned. This Wang Zhen seemed to rely on being a direct descendant of the Song Emperor, treating them like servants. They were hell commanders, stronger than Wang Zhen. How could they report everything to him?
"And with Wang Zhuo dead, how was the Mid-rank Nether Emperor battlefield won?" Wang Zhen asked again.
"I don't know the details of Wang Zhuo's death. But when the three-month deadline arrived, only Lin Feng and the Sword Blind fought alone. They defeated Chu Jiang City and won that battlefield for Song Emperor City." The Green Lotus Commander spoke, causing Wang Zhen's expression to freeze. He looked at Lin Feng and the Sword Blind.
"Those two defeated the people of Chu Jiang City?" Wang Zhen's expression froze. Then he said, "Green Lotus Commander, you oversaw that battlefield, yet you don't know how Wang Zhuo died?"
After saying this, Wang Zhen turned his gaze back to Lin Feng and asked, "I ask you, how did Wang Zhuo die in battle?"
"Wang Zhuo was arrogant and self-willed. He died in battle, that's all. Why must you, sir, press the matter?" Lin Feng spoke slowly to Wang Zhen.
"Wang Zhuo's death is of great importance. Naturally, it must be clarified." Wang Zhen said. Wang Xiao's strength was formidable, and his status in the City Lord's Mansion was not something Wang Zhen could compare to. Wang Zhuo was Wang Xiao's only son. Now that he had died while helping Wang Zhen compete for the position of hell commander, if Wang Zhen didn't give an explanation, given Wang Xiao's personality, he would surely hold a grudge.
"So we came to fight for you, sir, only to become a joke in the end. You, sir, only seem to remember Wang Zhuo's death, but you forget that many people from the Green Lotus Commander's and Black Rope Commander's legions also died in battle." Lin Feng said lightly, causing Wang Zhen's expression to freeze. Lin Feng's words were very sharp. The Green Lotus Commander and the Black Rope Commander had already been thinking this. Now that Lin Feng said it, Wang Zhen saw their faces sink.
"If you, sir, are willing, the legion of my Qin Guang City welcomes you at any time." At this moment, a Nether Emperor from Qin Guang City spoke up. He had witnessed the formidable strength of Lin Feng and the Sword Blind, who had won a victory for Song Emperor City, only to end up in such a situation. If Lin Feng was willing, Qin Guang City would accept him.
"Wang Zhen cannot represent Song Emperor City. That's just his personal attitude." At this moment, the Green Lotus Commander spoke. This Wang Zhen, because he feared Wang Xiao, acted in such a way that chilled people's hearts.
"Black Rope, I'm withdrawing from this hell struggle battle. What about you?" The Green Lotus Commander's sharp voice rang out. The Black Rope Commander turned around, then waved his hand and said, "We're also pulling out of the battlefield."
The Green Lotus Commander nodded slightly. He looked at Lin Feng and the Sword Blind and said, "Let's go."
With that, a green lotus appeared. The remaining members of the Green Lotus Legion, Qing Qing, and Lin Feng and the others all stepped onto the green lotus. Without even glancing at Wang Zhen, they directly left.
This scene made Wang Zhen's face turn extremely ugly. The Green Lotus Commander and the Black Rope Commander had come to fight for him to take this hell. Without them, he had no chance to compete anymore.
Lifting his head, Wang Zhen saw the mocking gazes of the people from Qin Guang City and Ping Deng City. He felt his face burning. He had ended up abandoned by all, defeated without a battle!
