“Alive?” Jian Wushuang froze with disbelief .

“She is still alive . See for yourself . ” Gu King cried at him .
His gaze turned instinctively towards Leng Rushuang who was gliding in the air not far away .
In her white flowing robes badly stained by blood, Leng Rushuang floated in the air silently . Layers of energy barriers encompassed around her . They were cast by Jian Wushuang during his battle with Xia Yong to prevent her from being struck by their blows .
But now that Jian Wushuang could look closely at her, he found that she was still alive .
Despite her frail and severely fragile aura, it was clear that she was hardly in mortal danger .
“She is really alive?” A manic joy gleamed in Jian Wushuang’s eyes .
“Hmph! She is the Great Primordial Sinner . Never will she perish so easily . But she would be, if you intend to dawdle any longer . ” Gu King smirked, slightly peeved .
Jian Wushuang calmed himself . Leng Rushuang’s wellbeing would take precedence for now . The matter of Xia Yong would have to wait .
He flew to Leng Rushuang and cradled her in his arms .
“Into her body, Gu King . Heal her now . ” Jian Wushuang urged .
The healing abilities of a Plenilune could restore the heal of not only itself and its host, but others as well .
It was during his time with the Ancient God Clan when the clansmen had allowed a Plenilune to enter his body and heal him .

“Into her? Nay . I may be willing to heal any other save for her . She is the Great Primordial Sinner . She bears the burden of heavy sacrilege . I might perish if I were to possess her . ” Gu King explained exasperatedly before he continued . “Fret not . She will not die as long as I am present . ”
This made Jian Wushuang felt better as he nodded wordlessly . He looked towards his Senior Brother, Xue Lingtian .
Xue Lingtian had earlier been injured when he had tried to help Jian Wushuang . But still, his wounds were hardly serious for he was already back on his feet to begin healing himself .
“All is well . Senior Brother is safe . ” Jian Wushuang exhaled in relief .
He would be blaming himself for eternity if Leng Rushuang and his Senior Brother were to have given their lives for him .
Jian Wushuang then turned and looked around the chaos surrounding him .
At some distance away from him, King Gu Tong was still fighting ferociously against the National Master that none could tell who was gaining the upper hand . But the battle waging around them was reaching its conclusion .
The factions led by Emperor Leng and the Xia Clan had assumed that victory would be theirs since Xia Yong had joined the battle . But never had they expected that the great and powerful Xia Yong would have fallen so ignominiously in the hands of Jian Wushuang, a mere warrior of the Eternal Realm .
Instead, the tide of battle had tipped against their favor, with only Emperor Leng, Xia Tao, Xia Ming and few other warriors holding their front line . Still, defeat seemed inevitable .
“How could this be?”
“Why is the situation so dire? This is impossible!”
The eyes of Emperor Leng burned red as all vestiges of composure had all but left her . Her eyes studied frantically the battle raging around her as she fought, but she could hardly suppress the dread and anxiety rising in her mind .

The shame was simply impossible for her to stomach!
“For many years I have prepared and planned only for this moment! I simply refuse to be thwarted here!”
“Never! I refuse to yield to this Emperor Xiao!”
“National Master! National Master!”
Emperor Leng howled maniacally suddenly, a shrilling cry that resounded so greatly that everyone stopped in their tracks to look at her .
Farthest away, King Gu Tong was still exchanging blows furiously against the soothsayer .
As a Seven-star Imperial God, King Gu Tong still wielded powerful strength of his own, even if his power was but a mere fraction of what it was before . Moreover, King Gu Tong had a plethora of Ancient God Secret Skills at his disposal which made him an extraordinarily dangerous foe .
The soothsayer was hardly a match for one so powerful and dangerous like King Gu Tong . But he had the Blood-killing Plate Armor which had given him an edge against his opponent .
The overall strength of them both were so great that they had exceeded the levels of Dao Master .
Their battle was equally gritting and fierce that not even Jian Wushuang’s defeat of Xia Yong could match its intensity and brutality .
No one dared to approach them for fear of being caught between their blows that a ring of desolation and barrenness spanning thousands of kilometers surrounded them .
The wailing shrieks of Emperor Leng reached to them, rousing the soothsayer from his bloodlust frenzy .

“Xia Yong had lost to a young pup!?”
“Hopeless filth!”
The soothsayer cursed from his heart .
In a fleeting moment of consciousness, King Gu Tong stole a glance at Jian Wushuang . The ends of his lips curled into an encouraging smile . “This fledgling has done well indeed . To think that he bears the Imperial Bloodline as well . ”
“Think of something, National Master! We cannot lose!” Emperor Leng’s frantic cries resounded from afar once more .
“Think of something?” The soothsayer turned dismal and sullen as he raked his mind for solutions in the midst of the savage duel against his foe . Suddenly his eyes twinkled and he sent a silent message via telepathy to Emperor Leng . “Quick! Activate the formation!”
“The formation? Now?” The emperor stammered with doubt . “But I am not ready!”
“We can afford to wait no more . You will still be able to regain some advantage even if you are not ready . Otherwise, all is lost and all our efforts will be for naught!” The soothsayer urged and screamed . “No more doubts! Quick!”
Emperor Leng could only frown with a throbbing anxiety .
A strong and stout woman who had endured countless trials and tribulations to seize power as an empress of a strong empire, she was hardly an indecisive and tentative person .
With a few calculations, she swiftly came to a decision .
“Very well, I will activate the formation now!” Emperor Leng responded to him telepathically .
“It should be so . ” The soothsayer replied approvingly with a wicked grin .
At the other side of the battlefield, Emperor Leng was still defending herself against the unforgiving blows of Emperor Xiao . She leaped backward and fled, stopping halfway in mid-air after flying for some time .
“Are you ready, Xia Yong?” Emperor Leng shot a glance at the pale and crippled Xia Yong .
From behind the backs of his kinsmen protecting him, Xia Yong heard the call of the empress . His lips twitched with anticipation .
“Is it time finally?” Xia Yong’s expression turned dark and cruel, his eyes sparkled with apprehension . “I may be weakened and the preparations are not yet complete, but I do not think we can wait any longer . We must strike now!”
“Begin the sequence . ”
Xia Yong responded her call and his body began to convulse violently .
High above in the air, Emperor Leng’s face became intense as many Dao Masters around her had their sights set upon her . With a flick of her wrist, a golden token appeared in her hand .
A strange and unusual aura permeated from the token .
Emperor Leng steeled herself with renewed resolve, with her teeth gritted, she crushed the token in her hand! .
