Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 1499 - 1496: Lian Hongshang vs. Teng Snake King
Dozens of Barbarian King’s trusted aides, seeing Huyan Zhuo killed, rushed forward, attempting to seize the corpse of their king.
However, Zhao Yuqing swept them away with her sword, leaving behind a dozen corpses and forcing the rest to flee in panic.
Ling Shuanghua saw Zhao Yuqing’s success, her eyes shimmering with delight.
"Yuqing, your Moonlight Slash is really dazzling!"
Zhao Yuqing, hearing Ling Shuanghua’s praise, responded with a slight smile, "Brother Li Chen taught me this!"
Thinking of Li Chen, memories surged into her mind like a fountain.
Without meeting Li Chen, where would she be now?
Fear she would have turned into a pile of bones long ago?
Hearing the name "Li Chen," Ling Shuanghua couldn’t help but smack her lips, and she remarked somewhat sourly, "Looks like that guy cares about you quite a lot!"
Zhao Yuqing, being a meticulous girl, naturally understood what Ling Shuanghua meant.
She then approached and held Ling Shuanghua’s hand with a soft smile.
"Sister Shuanghua, let’s get back to business!"
Knowing her little thoughts had been seen through by Zhao Yuqing, Ling Shuanghua’s face turned a shade of red in embarrassment.
Li Chen, that bastard, who knows where he has run off to, and here I am getting jealous over him!
With the Southern Barbarian King Huyan Zhuo killed, the Southern Barbarian Tribe was leaderless and immediately crumbled like a mountain collapsing.
In response, Ling Shuanghua and Zhao Yuqing did not give chase but instead gathered their disciples together.
At this point, the thousand elite disciples had dwindled to over six hundred, nearly forty percent casualties.
The loss weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts present.
Before even reaching the Azure Dragon Tribe, forty percent had already perished or been wounded.
Once reaching the Azure Dragon Tribe and engaging the even more formidable Shaman Tribe, how many of these six hundred would return alive to their sect?
... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
As Zhao Yuqing and Ling Shuanghua teamed up to capture and kill the Southern Barbarian King, the Shaman King Fire Wolf had already led a million warriors to launch a fierce attack on the Azure Dragon Tribe.
With both sides deploying a million troops each, the battle was so intense that the sky seemed darkened, with skirmishes continuing within a thousand-mile radius.
Bodies lay scattered, piled like mountains, blood flowing in rivers, filling the gullies, a true human world purgatory.
The Shaman Tribe’s assault was extremely fierce, initially gaining the upper hand. Had it not been for Lian Hongshang leading twenty thousand Puppet Heavenly Soldiers to hold the line, they would have long since crumbled like a mountain collapse.
Amidst the Shaman Tribe’s massive army, beneath the fluttering banners:
Fire Wolf stood on high, pointing at Lian Hongshang in her flaming red attire.
"Teng Snake King, that is the Holy Envoy and Totem of the Azure Dragon Tribe; can you capture her for me?"
The Teng Snake King, seeing Fire Wolf pointing him out, couldn’t help but be alarmed.
He had crossed paths with Lian Hongshang and knew deeply of this Human Clan woman’s capabilities.
However, he could not disobey the Shaman King’s orders.
Moreover, retreating would be seen as cowardly and incompetent, severely damaging his prestige. The entire Teng Snake Tribe could face ridicule from other tribes.
With this in mind, the Teng Snake King pounded his chest and shouted, "Why wouldn’t I dare?"
With that said, he called out to his trusted aides, "Men, bring me my Divine Weapon!"
The Teng Snake King’s Divine Weapon was a giant spear named Mountain-breaking.
As the name implies, this spear could pierce straight through mountains.
The spear measured nine zhang nine chi nine cun long and weighed fifty-four thousand jin, requiring twelve Barbarian warriors to lift it.
The Teng Snake King took the Mountain-breaking Spear from his aide’s shoulder and swung it in the air twice as a warm-up.
Seeing this, Fire Wolf was very satisfied and waved at his trusted aides, commanding, "Men, drum the beat for the Teng Snake King!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
...
With Fire Wolf’s command, the war drums were beaten thunderously.
The Teng Snake King, stepping to the thunderous drumbeats, wielding his Mountain-breaking Spear, drew a line of death as he charged into the formation.
In an instant, over a hundred warriors from the Azure Dragon Tribe were pierced through by the Teng Snake King’s spear, blood flowing freely.
Seeing the Teng Snake King charge into the fray, the Azure Dragon Tribe’s precarious defense line immediately had a breach.
All the Azure Dragon Tribe warriors who charged through were smashed into pulp, too horrifying to behold.
Witnessing this, Lian Hongshang couldn’t help but frown slightly.
If it continued this way, it wouldn’t take long for the Azure Dragon Tribe’s defense line to be completely shredded, irreparable.
Then, the entire Azure Dragon Tribe would likely face annihilation.
With this thought, Lian Hongshang hesitated no further. She lightly tapped her toes, gliding towards the Teng Snake King like a dragonfly on water.
Upon seeing Lian Hongshang’s approach, the Teng Snake King roared with delight, "Came just in time," raising his Mountain-breaking Spear to meet her head-on.
"Clang!"
The spear tip and the sword blade collided in mid-air, and the bursting sparks were like explosives, echoing repetitively.
The violent shockwave swept up the warriors nearby in the melee, engulfing them wholly.
Some had their limbs severed, some had their heads explode, and some were reduced to mere ashes...
Within a few exchanges, with Lian Hongshang and the Teng Snake King at the center, the surrounding thousands of zhang were filled with mountains of corpses.
"Take this spear!"
The Teng Snake King shouted, raising his Mountain-breaking Spear, instantly tearing through the void and shooting thousands of flames towards Lian Hongshang.
If this spear landed solidly, Lian Hongshang would surely perish on the spot.
Seeing this, Lian Hongshang frowned slightly, her eyes shifting, searching for a counter.
She knew very well that if it came to brute force, she was no match for the Teng Snake King.
However, she had an advantage the Teng Snake King couldn’t match.
Movement technique!
Lian Hongshang’s pupils shrank sharply, locking onto the spear tip thrust by the Teng Snake King.
As the spear tip neared her body, she suddenly flew backward in an incredible arc, like a kite with a broken string.
The Teng Snake King’s spear hit nothing but air, leaving him frustrated like punching empty space with all his might.
"Swish!"
At that moment, Lian Hongshang’s arm trembled violently, the longsword piercing through, striking at the Teng Snake King’s heart and life gate.
The Teng Snake King saw this and immediately swung up his Mountain-breaking Spear to block.
However, Lian Hongshang gave him no chance for hard confrontation, rising into the air to avoid his spear tip.
Then, before the Teng Snake King could recover his spear, Lian Hongshang’s figure appeared behind him like a phantom.
The Teng Snake King was greatly shocked!
Before he could react, a cold smile played on the corners of Lian Hongshang’s mouth, and she lunged with her sword.
The direct distance between them was less than a zhang, and Lian Hongshang, striking from behind, coupled with speed and angle, made it impossible to defend.
The cumbersome Teng Snake King naturally couldn’t dodge and took a sword blow on the spot.
Yet, the scales on the Teng Snake King were mighty, and Lian Hongshang’s sword could only penetrate half a chi before being unable to go further.
Sparks flew inside, producing a crisp metallic sound upon impact.
Seeing that he not only failed to capture Lian Hongshang but was also struck by her sword, the Teng Snake King was furious, letting out a hysterical roar.
"Damn it, I’ll kill you!"
After a bout of howling, the Teng Snake King spun around, his Mountain-breaking Spear sweeping with an overwhelming force towards Lian Hongshang...
