"Ziwei has arrived!"

The four city gates were guarded by a thousand Four Holy Guards each, clearly, Chen Qing intended to consume them all. Ziwei’s face turned dark as he saw the one-sided massacre upon entering the city.

The four uncles favored by Father are simply worthless!

Even if they just stood like Divine Generals to stabilize the situation and command the troops, concentrating their forces without breaking formation, there would be a chance to break through.

Although there would be considerable losses, it would not lead to an annihilation.

However, now the Heavenly Army is completely broken, reorganizing them seems almost impossible.

"Sir... what shall we do?"

The Azure Dragon Star Official who followed asked, now devoid of the confidence he had when he arrived. Seeing the situation, he realized something big had happened. If he’s not careful, they might be trapped here too.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have taken this task.

"What else can we do?" Ziwei frowned, a hint of unease in his eyes.

Chen Qing had such an ace up his sleeve, being a meticulous person, would he easily let the people inside escape?

But time is tight, Sharp-Hearing Ear Divine General is pressing harder, there’s no time to weigh losses and gains.

"You two, protect me!"

These two had followed Ziwei for years, instantly understanding his plan. He intended to forcibly open the Heaven’s Court’s transmission array from the Lower Realm, harnessing the power of Ziwei’s Dao Fruit. Only Ziwei possessed this ability in the entire Heaven’s Court.

Thinking of quickly retreating safely to the Heaven’s Court, both nodded swiftly: "Rest assured, sir, we will protect you with our lives."

Ziwei sighed, forming seals with his hands, a green jade stone slowly emerged from his forehead. The space around them began to fracture the moment the jade stone appeared. If Chen Qing were here, he would immediately recognize the jade that resembled the Space-Time Jade from the Buddha Kingdom.

As its designer, he naturally understood the reason. Space-Time Jade is a pair, and space-time were originally inseparable. Perhaps, during the division of benefits back then, the jade representing space was given to Heaven’s Court, while the jade representing time was given to Old Liu.

With the emergence of the Space Jade, four huge runes instantly lit up in the sky, followed by four beams of light descending from the heavens.

This scene brought joy to the Four Heavenly Kings, "Ziwei Star Lord has arrived, quick, retreat to the nearest transmission array!"

Beneath the four beams of light, countless space transmission arrays fell like raindrops into Vermilion Bird City.

Seeing this scene, countless Heavenly Soldiers excitedly fled towards the transmission arrays, completely disregarding their comrades, even causing some stampeding.

The Three-Eyed God General saw this and shouted, "Stay calm, don’t trample, and don’t jostle!"

"Divine General... it’s best to focus when fighting," a cold voice sounded in front of him. The Divine General’s eyes narrowed. When he regained his senses, it was too late to dodge the terrifying sword aura. As a ray of blood flashed, a massive arm flew away.

Chen Qing seized the opportunity to attack the throat with his sword.

The Divine General’s eyes gleamed with coldness, pulling out a short sword from his waist with his unharmed left hand. His sword moves were fierce, flawlessly countering Chen Qing’s sword paths. Even Chen Qing had to admit the exquisite skill. Incredible!

This person excelled in using spears, but his mastery of other weapons was equally exceptional. Just this swordsmanship alone would astonish even Ao Zhen, who attained the Sword Dao Fruit, undoubtedly reaching a master level!

The more formidable a being is, the more it dismisses the techniques of the Human Race, the less it enjoys honing martial skills. Evidently, the person before him is an exception.

"Such a pity, if I weren’t distracted, even if I risked my life, I wouldn’t hurt you Divine General one bit!" Chen Qing couldn’t help but sincerely admire.

"You’re too kind." The Divine General’s eyes were cold: "To adapt to the Sword Dao Fruit so quickly, wielding countless exquisite sword techniques within the Dao Fruit with such purity—your talent far surpasses mine!"

This Chen Qing was a scourge. Back then, he could lead a group of designers to suppress several major forces, and even under their pressure, he could eradicate the Four Spirits.

His talents exceeded research alone; his military and personal combat prowess were exceptional too.

Old Liu dared to release this clone, truly brave—he wasn’t afraid of being bitten back.

The one who was hurt most by betraying Chen Qing back then was Old Liu.

In an instant, the two battled within a ten-mile radius, sword light filling the sky. Outsiders couldn’t see their figures, even deputies dared not approach, fearing to misjudge a sword beam and lose their heads.

If not for the military formation pressing in, in the current world, only the Buddha Kingdom’s God of Battle and several factions’ Supreme Lords could enter the battle range of the two.

But at the moment, they couldn’t focus on that high-stakes duel, as the outside soldiers were already clashing, fighting to seize the space transmissions. The Four Heavenly King’s Army was almost in groups of three or five, directly showing weapons to force the Combat General Department out.

Without a restraint from a group of deputies, they might have fought directly.

Indeed, when encountering outsiders they’re worthless, unable to maintain military formation, but skilled at fighting their own.

The only consolation was that the Four Holy Army seemed unwilling to approach those spatial formations, for some reason even choosing to avoid them.

If Divine General saw this, he would surely guess something, but unfortunately, he’s forced into full concentration by Chen Qing, unable to spare any thought.

And the second to see through everything, Ziwei, didn’t have the inclination to observe as well. An imposing presence emerged that multiplied her pressure.

"White Tiger Star Lord..." Ziwei gritted her teeth, watching the familiar figure approach step by step.

"You vile wretch, dare to appear before us?"

Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird sneered, their eyes filled with malicious intent. Chen Qing’s presence here undoubtedly connected to this person. Otherwise, Chen Qing couldn’t react so swiftly to Heaven’s Court’s secret invasion of Vermilion Bird City.

"Vile?" White Tiger looked at the two sneering, eyes indifferent: "Indeed, that’s what you think, as do you all, and that old man pretending to be young on the Heaven’s Court’s Dragon Chair as well."

"Silence!" Azure Dragon roared furiously: "Daring to slander the Supreme Lord, clearly you bear no remorse."

"Did I commit any mistakes before?" White Tiger coldly laughed: "Diligently conquered lands for you, half of the Great Demons in the Twenty-Eight Constellations were persuaded by me. Each time Spiritual Energy revived, Extraterrestrial Demons approached Heaven’s Court, I’ve slain the most foes.

Achieving victory in the Southeast relied entirely on me, yet what have I received now? "

"You... still intend to kill me? Remorse? Truly laughable..."

White Tiger’s aura surged, causing Ziwei’s brows to furrow instantly. She had no more intent to persuade, clearly White Tiger’s presence signaled a complete break. Moreover, the facts of their descending to the mortal realm to execute her were undeniable, reconciling was impossible.

But she was curious, with White Tiger appearing here, did she have confidence in defeating Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird?
