Chapter 30 Confidence
Shen Ni's spear grew faster and fiercer, dark red light surging in his golden leopard eyes, his black hair flying wildly amidst the murderous aura. The God-Slaying Spear in his hand transformed into a blood-red whirlwind, its spear beams pouring out like a torrential rain. One spear, ten spears, a hundred spears, a thousand spears—tens of thousands of spear beams—bossed into the five layers of light wheels in the same instant, shattering them into pieces.
But the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth remained unmoved.
The five precious flags shone even more brilliantly than before, with the five colors of light on the flags reflecting each other, and the five halos becoming more and more solid and stable as they crumbled and reassembled.
The divine spear's light could shatter the five giant rings, but it could not prevent the rings from regenerating.
The God-Slaying Spear could not pierce the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth.
Shen Ni stood with his spear sheathed, his chest rising and falling slightly, a hint of irritation flashing in his eyes. The defense of the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth was too strong. Unless he could shatter all five halos at once, he would never be able to truly break through the Five Banners' defense.
But his gun can't do that yet.
This great battle ultimately ended in a draw.
In the sea of stars, the sword light of Mo Yun and Ji Du clashed countless times in the void. Each clash between the Big Dipper Sword and the Ten Deaths Sword unleashed light powerful enough to tear stars apart. The two fought from one end of the sea of stars to the other, shattering countless stars and tearing apart countless nebulae along the way. But neither could gain the upper hand. Ji Du's sword was fast, and Mo Yun's sword was fast too. Ji Du's sword could not pierce Mo Yun, and Mo Yun's sword could not cut Ji Du.
After a long while, the two sheathed their swords at the same time.
Jidu glanced at Moyun, and with a flash of dark sword light, his figure disappeared into the depths of the starry sea.
Mo Yun did not pursue, but dispersed the Big Dipper Sword and looked in the direction where Ji Du disappeared, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
On the battlefield of Central Plains, Shen Ni also put away his gun, took one last look at Hong Qing who was protected in the center by the Five Banners, snorted coldly, and his figure transformed into a dark red blood light and disappeared into the sky.
Hong Qing watched Shen Ni leave, his expression remaining calm. The Five Banners slowly rotated around him, and the light of the five halos gradually faded, sinking back into the auspicious clouds.
On the battlefield, the ferocious beast army also began to retreat. Without Shen Ni in charge, the ferocious beasts, though violent and bloodthirsty, were not stupid.
Countless ferocious beasts, like the receding black tide, slowly retreated from the battlefield, leaving behind corpses and pools of blood.
The Allied Forces of All Races did not pursue, but they too suffered heavy casualties. In this battle, the casualties on both sides reached a terrifying number. On the wasteland, corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers. The survivors no longer had the strength to clean up the battlefield.
The camp of the allied forces of all ethnic groups.
The five clan leaders were covered in blood and their energy was turbulent, clearly indicating that they had suffered serious injuries in the battle with the ferocious beast army.
Upon seeing Mo Yun and Hong Qing return, the five of them stood up at the same time.
"Seniors, how is the battle going?" Meng Zhang's voice carried a hint of urgency.
Hong Qing smiled slightly, his expression calm: "I already know the strength of Shen Ni and Ji Du. Next time, I will definitely be able to take their lives."
Upon hearing this, the five clan leaders turned their gazes to Mo Yun.
Mo Yun stood with his hands behind his back, his golden robes without a single wrinkle. His expression remained cold and stern, and his voice was clear and resonant, like the clash of metal and stone: "I have also figured out Ji Du's strength. Next time, I will definitely win."
The five clan leaders simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
They were genuinely afraid that Hongqing and Moyun wouldn't be a match for Shenni and Jidu. If there was only Shenni, Hongqing and Moyun would undoubtedly win against him, but with Jidu added, the situation was completely different.
Whether it was the extremely fierce God-Slaying Spear in Shen Ni's hand or Ji Du's terrifying speed, both made the five clan leaders feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. They asked themselves if they would not be able to last even one move if they were to face Shen Ni or Ji Du alone.
Fortunately, Hongqing and Moyun also displayed strength beyond their expectations.
Hong Qing's Five Directions Banners of Heaven and Earth were extremely strong defensively. Shen Ni's God-Slaying Spear attacked them tens of thousands of times, but still could not break through the five layers of light wheels. The light of the Five Directions Banners flowed endlessly around Hong Qing, like five insurmountable natural barriers. With these Five Directions Banners, Hong Qing was invincible.
Mo Yun's speed shocked them even more. Although they did not witness the battle between Mo Yun and Ji Du in the Star Sea, they still sensed the terrifying speed at which the two fought their way from the battlefield to the Western Regions and then from the Western Regions into the Star Sea.
If Mo Yun hadn't restrained Ji Du, the five clan leaders would probably have been killed instantly with Ji Du's sword, which was incredibly fast. Just thinking about the terrifying scene of that sword sweeping across the battlefield and cutting the army of ferocious beasts and warriors of all races in two, sent chills down the spines of the five people.
The camp of ferocious beasts.
Shen Ni sat cross-legged in the center of the camp, the God-Slaying Spear resting across his lap. Dark red aura surged around him, enveloping the entire camp in a bloody hue. Opposite Shen Ni, Ji Du sat with his sword in his arms, his black robes fluttering gently in the aura.
"Next time, I will kill Hong Qing." Shen Ni's voice was deep, his heart filled with surging anger: "Those five flags are indeed troublesome, but they are not without flaws. The five halos are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and they are endless. As long as I can shatter all five halos at the same time with one strike, the five flags will not have time to regenerate. I have found a way to shatter all five halos at the same time."
Raising her head, Shen Ni looked at Ji Du.
"I hope you can also reveal your true strength, kill that golden-robed brat, and then you and I can join forces to kill old man Hongqing. Then this primordial world will be ours."
Upon hearing this, Jidu remained noncommittal.
After a moment of silence, Ji Du spoke, his voice like the clash of swords.
"Next time, I will go all out."
"But I'm not sure if I can kill Mo Yun."
Shen Ni frowned slightly. He knew Ji Du's strength. Ji Du had fought Hong Qing before, and the battle ended in a draw, with Ji Du even gaining a slight advantage. He had already experienced Hong Qing's strength firsthand; he was indeed very strong. But Ji Du actually said he wasn't sure if he could kill Mo Yun?
"That Mo Yun... is he even stronger than Hong Qing?" Shen Ni asked.
Jidu glanced at Shenni.
"More or less." Jidu's voice was cold and stern: "After all, Hongqing is just a benevolent incarnation of Hongjun, so it's normal that he can't compare to Moyun."
Seeing Shen Ni frowning, Ji Du continued, "However, the next time I make a move, I will use the Four Swords of Zhuxian to seal space and time and annihilate everything. No matter how strong or fast Mo Yun is, once trapped by the Four Swords of Zhuxian, he will not be able to escape."
The Four Swords of Zhuxian.
Shen Ni's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
The Four Swords of Zhuxian are the most powerful treasures in the primordial world, used for killing. The four swords, Zhuxian Sword, Luxian Sword, Xianxian Sword, and Juexian Sword, can be combined to form the Zhuxian Sword Formation, which can annihilate everything within the formation. As long as Jidu is willing to use the Zhuxian Sword Formation, no matter how fast Moyun is, he will surely die if he is trapped in the formation.
Shen Ni nodded.
"Alright, next time, it will be their death day."
