Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 472: 472

Xue Wei faced the heavens, and a deep roar pressed it’s way out of him, causing the skies to shake and the earth to tremble .

His eyes were devoid of warmth, cold, and ruthless as he gazed at the bodyguards as one would look at a corpse .

Slight green energy shrouded his body, working as a shield to block the many attacks that were raining down on him .

Initially, he had only been fighting against the Xiyang Prince and his bodyguards, but his sudden transformation had agitated everyone present, and many were launching attacks at him, completely forgetting their own opponents .

Dragon Roar!

Dragon Claw!

Life Scale Shield!

Xue Wei used one attack after another, thrashing around, trying to find a break through the many swordlights, fist imprints, and other attacks that rained down on him .

After sending out a few attacks, he was successful enough to be able to tear the majority of the attacks apart and fled into the sky .

While he might have been able to handle the bodyguards, when everyone else decided to kill him, he had no other option than to flee .

He had managed to destroy the majority of the attacks, but not all of them, and although the Life Scale Shield had blocked most of the attacks, a few stronger ones had succeeded in penetrating his guard and wounding him .

Some of his scales were shattered, and blood flowed freely, but he was not too bothered by it .

He was in a war, not a sparring match . If he got through without even the slightest injury, he would have to reconsider his original plan .

But that was for another time, right now, he did not have the time to consider this . Swordlights and fist imprints were being thrown his way time and time again . He had to be very focused on avoiding the deadly ones and had no other choice than letting the weaker ones be blocked by the Life Scale Shield, and then allowing some of them to break through his guard .

Xue Wei’s current plan was to temporarily retreat . While he had strength and faith in himself he was not blind like the Xiyang Continent’s prince to think himself unbeatable .

But he was not willing to leave just like that, so he suddenly dove towards the ground, opened his strong jaw, and bit down on the Xiyang Continent’s prince, before sweeping into the air, flying back to the side where the Demon Phoenix Continent’s army was observing the havoc he had caused .

Seeing that Xue Wei had been so brazen as to kidnap their prince right in front of them, the bodyguards’ faces paled at a noticeable rate before they rushed after him .

However, Xue Wei was a real Azure Dragon, and his speed could not be ignored .

Many tried to block them, but they soon found that it was impossible, and they dared not use their killing moves, as they feared that Xue Wei would throw the prince out as a meat shield .

As such, they could only observe as he took the prince with him to the Demon Phoenix Army, and even placed him down next to the Diviner whom they had tried to kill before .

Xue Wei looked at the prince before returning to his human shape, and casually draped a robe over his body .

"I couldn’t save the Vermilion Birds yet, but we have a good hostage now . "

Looking down at the prince, he found that his sharp teeth had punctured his skin, causing multiple wounds to appear on his body, and he was bleeding profusely .

Xue Wei frowned . How troublesome . Fishing out a blood clotting pill, he pushed it into the mouth of the prince, and the wounds slowly stopped bleeding .

Bending over, Xue Wei snickered as he took the storage ring of the comatose prince’s finger . Weighing it in his hand, Xue Wei did not have the time to check his loot, so he just placed it in his own storage treasure before looking at the two armies and their current battle .

The Emperor and King ranked experts were evenly matched in their battle; it was as if they had their own battlefield, utterly unaffected by what was happening underneath them, and yet not .

When Xue Wei had transformed into an Azure Dragon, the Demon Phoenix Continent’s army was able to take advantage of the experts of the Xiyang Continent as they were shocked by the turn of events .

Unfortunately, this advantage was soon lost, but the battle was still even, and would last for a very long time .

On the ground, the Saints and Knights were engaged in a bloodbath . There had not been any casualties from the ranks of the Kings and Emperors, but on the ground, death was lingering everywhere, the amount of soul power that the cultivators absorbed was so vast that they could barely consume more .

Some did not even spend time truly refining the energy, ending up their advance, but destroying their foundations .

Soul Power was not pure and had to be refined into spiritual energy before it was possible to be used .

If it was not appropriately refined, it would taint the rest of the Spiritual Energy, making it impure . Impure spiritual energy was not good to use, as it could collapse at any moment .

While everyone knew of this fact, many thought that just a bit of soul power infused in the spiritual power would not harm them, and when there was so much, they should not waste it .

The only ones who could absorb soul power with no worries were the spirits, and both Luoluo and Bai Tianyi felt ecstatic being in the warzone . They were like whales swallowing water, they became two big black holes, absorbing so much energy that their faces turned red .
