NOVPUBThe two could not determine the winner for the moment, and Jiang Li walked up to Xu Zimei.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Young Master Xu, for your assistance."
"It was the one that provoked me first," Xu Zimei slowly waved his hand as he replied.
Jiang Dianfeng also came over and inquired in a low voice about Xu Zimei’s condition from Jiang Li, and then he also expressed his thanks.
Only Swordless, with his severely injured body leaning against the rocky ruins at the mountain top, watched the battle in the sky in silence.
The blood flowing from his body and the pain seemed to go unnoticed by him, as if he did not feel them at all.
...
In the sky above, the battle between the two monsters had reached a fever pitch, and they had come to the final juncture of their fight.
Chaos too had sustained some injuries.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zimei felt that the opponent still had the strength to continue fighting.
He frowned slightly, the resilience of the Form Blood Beast exceeded his expectations.
With a wave of his right hand, another Space Gate opened.
Continuous roaring sounds came from the Space Gate.
Immediately, one after another, Monster Beasts charged out from it.
Nine Monster Beasts emerged from the Space Gate, they were the Qiongqi, Hou, Tao Tie, Nether Serpent, Mysterious Bird, Tao Wu, Bixie, Ice Armor Horned Demon Dragon, and Gui Che.
As all nine Wild Desolation Monster Beasts appeared, an overwhelming beastly might spread throughout the heavens.
An imposing suppression enveloped this part of the world.
These Monster Beasts, including Chaos, were the ten great Divine Beasts of the Wild Desolation era.
Xu Zimei had previously devoted great effort to nurturing these Monster Beasts in the True Fate World, because they had all experienced the past.
Their cultivation speed was also very fast; although they had not Stepped into Immortality, they were generally in the Divine Vein Realm.
Under the nurture of the Divine Land, the Myriad Demons Tribe established by Chaos was the first force to emerge.
Truly blessed!
Watching the appearance of the nine monstrously ferocious Monster Beasts, the Form Blood Beast next to them was momentarily stunned.
Chaos roared upwards to the Firmament, looking at the Form Blood Beast and shouted angrily.
"You have two choices, a one-on-one duel or a group fight?
Would you prefer a one-on-one against ten of us, or shall all ten of us gang up on you?"
The Form Blood Beast’s massive body took a step back and roared viciously at the ten Monster Beasts.
Then, without looking back, it started to flee into the distance.
Chaos watched this scene and would not allow it to escape.
Its wings, large enough to obscure the sky and sun, flapped as it dived down from above, its claws grabbing the Form Blood Beast’s back and leaving several deep gashes.
The remaining nine Divine Beasts pounced together, encircling the Form Blood Beast in the middle and began tearing at it.
...
The Form Blood Beast was roaring and desperately resisting, but its strength was simply no match for the combined might of the ten great Divine Beasts.
The old adage that two hands can’t defend against four fists applied here, all the more so with so many Divine Beasts.
Before long, the Form Blood Beast’s roars of fury turned into cries of pain.
It was covered in blood, and its strength to resist greatly diminished.
"You all just wait, once my Form Blood Clan breaks free from the seal, none of you will escape," it roared.
"Your kin are welcome to seek vengeance. I, who stand proudly and remain ever unchanged, am Baili Chengfeng.
At the Baili Family in the Eastern Continent, we await your revenge," Xu Zimei declared righteously and dominantly.
As the sound of his declaration faded, the Form Blood Beast let out a pitiful scream and was completely dismembered by the ten great Divine Beasts.
After devouring its body, the ten great Divine Beasts returned to Xu Zimei’s True Fate World.
Once the Form Blood Beast had died, the surroundings became very quiet.
The sky was clear and blue, and a gentle breeze slowly blew down from the mountaintop.
Everyone exhaled in relief and lay on the ground, enjoying this moment of peace.
Jiang Li and Jiang Dianfeng approached and bowed to Xu Zimei again.
"Thank you, Young Master Xu, for preserving our Jiang Family."
"It was just a matter of convenience," Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.
"Young Master Xu, I have a presumptuous request, and I’m unsure if I should speak of it," Jiang Dianfeng said.
"With that said, can I really refuse to let you speak?" Xu Zimei replied with a smile.
"Go ahead!"
"The seal on the Form Blood Space has reached its final stage. Should the Form Blood Clan come into this world,
I fear that all living beings would not escape a fate of misery and suffering," 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
said Jiang Dianfeng.
"But with just our Jiang Family alone, we are weak and helpless.
I’ve also been gravely injured and my life won’t last much longer.
Today, seeing Young Master Xu, I couldn’t help but see hope once more.
I wonder if Young Master Xu would be willing to play the role of hero, to save the world from peril.
From here on, my Jiang Family will follow your command and follow Young Master Xu."
"What does the world have to do with me?" Xu Zimei turned his head and asked doubtfully.
"With your capability, I believe someone of your chivalrous nature will inevitably feel a sense of responsibility.
The deeds of Young Master Xu will surely be remembered for generations.
Future generations might even erect statues to commemorate you and pass down your stories forever,"
Jiang Dianfeng said with rising fervor.
"To stop the Form Blood Clan and rescue countless from peril is a deed rarely seen even in the Era of Emperors."
Upon hearing Jiang Dianfeng’s words, Xu Zimei gave a toothy grin and said,
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m really not that responsible.
In fact, I’m rather petty and selfish.
Apart from my own relatives, what does the life and death of others have to do with me?
If I save them, it’s because I’m kind.
If I don’t, no one has the right to blame me from a moral high ground.
The world has plenty of people who want to be heroes. Find them. I’m just an ordinary person.
Let’s part ways amicably, and not meet again in the jianghu."
After saying that, Xu Zimei turned and left Sword Casting Mountain.
Watching Xu Zimei’s departing figure, Jiang Dianfeng was momentarily stunned.
He wanted to say something, but ultimately, he raised his right hand, hesitated, and still couldn’t bring himself to speak.
...
"Ancestor," said Jiang Li, coming over with a look of hesitation.
"I know what you want to say. Now that the Three Sect lacks a Sect Master, it’s time for our Jiang Family to strike back.
This might also be the last thing I can do for the Jiang Family,"
said Jiang Dianfeng, gazing into the distance at Xu Zimei’s receding silhouette with a sigh, "Where is the way out for our Jiang Family?"
The words he had said to Xu Zimei were just an attempt to appeal to righteousness to keep Xu Zimei there,
tied to the same warship as the Jiang Family. From the methods Xu Zimei had shown, he could only think of four words:
"A promising future!"
As for the so-called salvation of the world, their own Jiang Family could hardly save themselves, let alone others.
The affairs of the world were for the people of the world to save.
What a pity he hadn’t expected Xu Zimei to respond so decisively.
But there’s always a way forward. Who can say for certain what the future holds?
...
After leaving Sword Casting Mountain, Xu Zimei also planned to leave the Northern Continent and head directly to the Endless Heaven Sea to seek out Taiyang Zuzhao.
The relationship between him and the Jiang Family was more of a matter of mutual benefit than anything else.
