Chapter 452: Chapter 48: Gonggong Captured Twice
Gonggong fell into silence, but Shen Fei continued: "The first time I let you go, it was because you did not submit sincerely.
But it also showed you the present disparity between Jiu Li and Lie Mountain."
"Who truly has the interests of the Human Race at heart now.
After comparing Jiu Li and Lie Mountain, you should know."
Gonggong could only nod, as Jiu Li is united, with the high ranking looking out for those below.
In contrast, Lie Mountain, most people are indulged in the glory of the Common Lord Tribe, and even within, there’s such terrifying division.
Shennong is also stubborn and self-opinionated.
"This is to convince your heart, to send you back to battle them again, which will render you convinced orally."
Shen Fei said indifferently, "Originally I thought you were someone who cared for the Human Race, but who knew you were a person of foolish loyalty."
"Having heard of your skill in water management, taming floods for the Human Race, I felt you were a kindred spirit."
"Yet, you intend to exhaust yourself to fulfill your loyalty to the Common Lord, hence I employed the methods set by Ma Shihuang."
Shen Fei’s tone was disappointed, rendering Gonggong even more silent.
Shen Fei waved and sent Gonggong directly back to Jiu Li’s location.
Meanwhile, in the sky, Zhurong facing the assault from the Empress and Can Gang saw Gonggong captured.
Anxiety surged, he growled, "Release Gonggong to me!"
In the next moment.
The Immortal Pill within exploded with terrifying flames, the high temperatures of the countless flames evaporated the surrounding raindrops.
Their vapors spread thinly.
The flames then transformed into giant pythons, each thousands of meters long, vividly sweeping towards the Empress and Can Gang.
Wherever these flame pythons passed, there was a sense of detonation.
’Boom boom boom——!’
Seeming to shatter the very sky.
At the same time, the heat emitted by the flames was so high, it caused the space to wrinkle and melt.
"Emperor Fire, Control!"
Behind the Empress appeared flames encompassed by various Anomalous Fires, opposing it.
She had long activated the descent state of ’Lix Mountain Old Mother.’
Otherwise, it would indeed be difficult to contend with Zhurong.
The giant pythons were continuously influenced, collapsing.
Furthermore, Can Gang, disregarding the Ancient Steel Python’s fear of fire, had two gigantic pythons larger than these fire pythons opening their mouths towards the fire pythons swung by Zhurong.
Infinite devouring power erupted from the mouths of these two giant pythons, as if they were going to swallow the entire world into them.
Strands of fire pythons were consumed by these two giant pythons, while rumbling sounds emitted continuously from within these pythons.
Occasionally bulging with a mass, even detonating simultaneously, the bodies of these two giant pythons were continuously blasted by internal explosions.
Yet they still held on.
The laws apprehended by witch doctors differ from those by cultivators.
Like Gonggong and them, they actually pursue whatever they wish to apprehend, wherever their talent lies, they apprehend that law.
Such as Gonggong’s ’Flood,’ Zhurong’s ’Detonation.’
But witch doctors, like Can Gang who rely on Witchcraft to become Human Immortal, inherit the laws of Exotic Beasts.
Integrating with the Ancient Steel Python, Can Gang continually refines its bloodline, making it purer, recovering to cultivate into Human Immortal.
And apprehending laws is to adopt the Ancient Steel Python’s law.
’Devouring Elephant.’
The Ancient Steel Python has another name, Ba Snake.
Ba Snake can devour elephants.
If not for its immense physical strength, how would it swallow Exotic Beasts tens of times larger than itself.
As for the law of ’Devouring Elephant.’
Once invoked, it suffices to devour everything and neutralize its power.
"Lix Mountain Divine Domain!"
And at this moment.
The Empress seized the opportunity, her power radiating intensely from the center, enveloping Zhurong.
This realm suddenly fell under the Empress’s command, Zhurong who had just devoured numerous fire pythons.
Mana running short.
His inherent weather is rainy, unsuitable for him to exert, additionally, the Emperor Fire the Empress controls also impacts him.
Merely these two factors exhausted Zhurong greatly, making it hard to recover mana.
Without mana, even employing laws, it’s tough to inflict extremely terrifying damage.
Even now, breaking free from the Empress’s ’Lix Mountain Divine Domain’ is difficult.
Everything stripped of perception, Zhurong can only instinctively control flames to defend himself.
Unable to dissolve this special power.
In the next moment.
Can Gang, having just finished digesting the flame pythons mastered by Zhurong, disregarding the weakened aura of the Steel Python, immediately entangled towards Zhurong.
Zhurong was already forcefully bound within the Lix Mountain Divine Domain, the ’sizzling’ burning sound rang out on the Ancient Steel Python’s body.
But Can Gang disregarded the pain at this moment, his voice echoed across the battlefield.
"Commander Zhurong, Gonggong captured, Lie Mountain People surrender, no kill!"
"Commander Zhurong, Gonggong captured, Lie Mountain People surrender, no kill!"
"Commander Zhurong, Gonggong captured, Lie Mountain People surrender, no kill!"
...
The voice spread, and those in battle now observed the anomaly in the sky had vanished, the commander Gonggong has long disappeared.
Earlier, the ocean of soaring flames also vanished, visibly only a few figures standing in the air.
’Dang!’
Upon seeing no familiar Zhurong or Gonggong, those already unable to withstand the assault have thrown their weapons.
"Surrender!"
"Surrender!"
...
Thanks to Jiu Li Tribe’s propaganda over this period, Jiu Li Tribe isn’t as excessively brutal as perceived.
Even if you surrender, as long as you abide by Jiu Li Tribe’s laws and contribute to their construction.
You can gain Jiu Li identity and even cultivate witchcraft.
These are all part of Jiu Li’s recent promotional message.
"High Priest, a group of cultivators escaped... should we pursue?"
Zhe Lu appeared before Shen Fei at this time, whispering, his clansmen in charge of overseeing battlefield intelligence and dynamics.
He discovered a team of cultivators seemingly broke through the encirclement by chance.
Charging towards Lie Mountain Tribe.
However, if efforts are invested, with Jiu Li’s might suppressing here, they can easily intercept.
"Let them go."
"Yes!"
Shen Fei didn’t explain, Zhe Lu didn’t inquire, just responded.
Repeated major victories, along with countless small wins, have long accumulated Shen Fei prestige not weaker than Duan Xiu.
This major victory at Han River could be said to have cleared all obstacles for Jiu Li to conquer Lie Mountain.
In the future, it’s merely a matter of time.
No difficulties remaining.
And all this was brought by Shen Fei.
With Lie Mountain fighters surrendering, the mopping-up operations quickly concluded, though many cultivators were reluctant to yield.
Compared to tribesmen, they inherently repel Jiu Li more, because Jiu Li’s Dao Lineage is witchcraft.
Yet, of course, some cultivators surrendered.
There are Gonggong Tribe and Zhurong Tribe members firmly resisting, but as Shen Fei declared if they resisted further.
They would directly see Zhurong and Gonggong killed before them, reluctantly.
The battlefield once shouting to the heavens has returned to peace, the heavy rain seemingly completed its mission.
With Zhurong continuously evaporating it, along with Jiu Li’s Wind Master and Rain Master incessantly calling upon.
It couldn’t hold any longer.
The clouds dispersed, sunlight broke through.
