King of Gods - Chapter 1473

Chapter 1473 – Fierce Struggle

The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master was on guard against the Swift Wind Gate Master this entire time, never expecting that Swift Wind Gate had another scheme entirely.

The plan didn’t go smoothly…. The Swift Wind Gate Master hatefully glared at Zhao Feng.

If Zhao Feng wasn’t so strong that he was able to reverse the situation for Tang Bai’s team, they would have long ago been taken care of. Once that was done, the Swift Wind Gate Master only needed to obstruct the Vermillion Bird Pavilion members to smoothly obtain the Ancestral Artifact fragment.

Such a perfect plan had been singlehandedly ruined by Zhao Feng. Not a single member of Tang Bai’s team had been killed, and Swift Wind Gate couldn’t stop these two factions alone.

“Hmph, this old man will definitely settle accounts with you!” The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master angrily huffed before immediately flying off toward the center of the Burning Heaven Sea.

He was extremely furious and wanted nothing more than to attack the Swift Wind Gate Master right now, but the Ancestral Artifact fragment was more important. Once he obtained the fragment of Blazing Hell, his strength would rise to another level and the Swift Wind Gate Master would no longer be a concern.

Thwish!

The Swift Wind Gate Master circulated his Wind Law, transforming into a white gust and instantly leaving the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master far behind. He even had the time to fire attacks to disrupt the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master.

Swooosh!

With a wave of the Swift Wind Gate Master’s hand, countless blades of white wind began to slice apart the sea of flames.

In the distance:

“Eh? What’s going on?” Tang Bai was startled. He had believed that the two spectating leaders would attack his team, but for some reason, they were now attacking each other.

“It seems that we’ve narrowly escaped death this time!” God Lord Crazysword smiled.

The conflict between the two five-star factions suddenly erupted, meaning that they would no longer be able to continue working together against Tang Bai’s team.

“Damn, dregs of Swift Wind Gate…!” God Lord Vastsoul cursed in rage. Just now, the members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion had received a message from the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master explaining Swift Wind Gate’s plan.

“Retreat!” the red-robed woman immediately called out.

The members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion all retreated.

“Let’s go as well!” The three remaining God Lords of Swift Wind Gate also departed.

In a flash, all the enemies had retreated.

“Come on, let’s go and see what the situation is!” Tang Bai called out.

What sort of reason would cause the conflict between the two five-star factions to reignite? The answer was obvious: the Ancestral Artifact fragment.

“Mm! We can’t let those scoundrels off easy!” God Lord Crazysword’s eyes flashed with a cold light. Even if he couldn’t get the Ancestral Artifact fragment, he would do everything in his power to disrupt the two five-star factions. If he could kill just one God Lord, he would say the effort was worth it.

In the center of the Burning Heaven Sea:

Boom! Bang! Crash!

Heaven-shaking explosions were occurring all around the Ancestral Artifact fragment.

The two five-star factions had joined together to deal with Tang Bai’s team, but they left behind some people to guard the center of the Burning Heaven Sea. However, the difference in strength between the forces left behind was simply immense.

Boom! Bang!

Two God Lords of Vermillion Bird Pavilion flew backward, leaving a trail of vomited blood in their wake. The moment the blood spurted out, it was boiled into steam by the flames of the Burning Heaven Sea.

“Damn! To think that it would be God Lord Bloodrain!” A God Lord of Vermillion Bird Pavilion fumed.

God Lord Bloodrain was a renowned God Lord of the Tianhe Zone, but it was rumored that he had been in seclusion for the last ten thousand years.

“Heheh, this old man will send you on your way!” An elder suffused with bloody light wickedly laughed.

He had only arrived a few days ago to help out Swift Wind Gate. No one knew of God Lord Bloodrain’s arrival except for the Swift Wind Gate Master. Thus, Vermillion Bird Pavilion had underestimated the strength of Swift Wind Gate.

“Die!” God Lord Bloodrain thrust out a palm, sending a grim and bloody light shooting into the distance.

Boom! Bang!

Even the two God Lords of Vermillion Bird Pavilion working together found it difficult to fend off God Lord Bloodrain’s attack, and their injuries became even more serious.

On the other end:

Thwish!

A blazing image of a golden bird flew across the sky. Within this golden bird was a dazzling red and golden feather. This feather was none other than a small part of the Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell.

“Ancestral Artifact fragment, submit to Swift Wind Gate!” A First Heaven God Lord of Swift Wind Gate was doggedly pursuing the golden bird.

At this time, he was suppressing the Ancestral Artifact fragment and trying to take it into his bag, but in the environment of the Burning Heaven Sea, the Ancestral Artifact fragment was much stronger than normal and would occasionally erupt with strength, making it so that not even he dared to be careless.

“What a joke! A few incompetent God Lords want me to submit?” An elderly roar came from the feather.

“There’s no time…!” The First Heaven God Lord was rather anxious. However, he alone did not have the strength to subdue the Ancestral Artifact fragment.

At this moment, a deep voice resounded, “Let me do it!”

The God Lord saw a white gust of wind approaching the Ancestral Artifact fragment, exuding Wind energy that could sweep away all things.

This person was none other than the Swift Wind Gate Master.

But before he could do anything, he sensed a dreadful pulse of Divine Power coming from behind him.

The Ancestral Artifact fragment is mine!” Two wings of fire had sprouted from the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master’s back and were releasing vast waves of flame at the Swift Wind Gate Master.

Behind him, the remaining members of the two factions were arriving on the scene.

“Eh? What’s going on?” God Lord Bloodrain glared in surprise and anger at the Swift Wind Gate Master.

Their plan actually failed at the last moment? If the Swift Wind Gate Master was able to hold them back for just a little longer, he would have been able to comfortably win.

Nearby, Tang Bai’s team slowly approached.

The Ancestral Artifact fragment has already appeared!” The black-armored man was stunned and extremely excited.

“That’s right, but we’ve just been through a major battle and we all have various injuries. Let’s just observe for now,” Tang Bai called out.

Swift Wind Gate and Vermillion Bird Pavilion both had extremely powerful God Lords. Moreover, Vermillion Bird Pavilion had already been deceived once by Swift Wind Gate, and given the existing deep-seated grudges between the two factions, cooperation between them was very unlikely. Thus, they only needed to wait until both factions were essentially spent. If they made their move then, they would have much greater chances.

In the distance, Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate were locked in fierce combat. Now that the struggle for the Ancestral Artifact fragment had reached its most crucial moment, neither side showed mercy, and they were also forced to use some of their trump cards.

“Die!” The wings on the back of the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master covered the sky, gathering up Fire energy and launching it forward.

Kabooom!

Fire tornadoes swept across the world, capable of flaying the flesh off ordinary First Heaven God Lords.

“Don’t get too agitated! We should stop for now and deal with Tang Bai’s group first, then we can fight over the Ancestral Artifact fragment. Or else, if we fight to the death, they’ll just sit back and reap the harvest,” the Swift Wind Gate Master spoke in a calm tone.

Vermillion Bird Pavilion won’t believe you a second time!” The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master’s blazed with anger.

The Swift Wind Gate Master grimaced nastily. Occasionally, he would glance at Tang Bai’s team in the distance.

“Continuing to fight will be very disadvantageous for us!” The Swift Wind Gate Master’s eyes were extremely gloomy. His expression flickered as he glanced at God Lord Bloodrain.

Boom!

God Lord Bloodrain suddenly exploded with supreme strength, enveloping the entire sea of fire in bloody light.

Boom! Bang!

The defenses of his opponent, God Lord Vastsoul, instantly shattered, and God Lord Vastsoul was thrown backward while vomiting blood.

As it turned out, a great deal of God Lord Vastsoul’s strength was sealed in his battle against Tang Bai, and even now, he still had not managed to completely unseal it. In addition, God Lord Bloodrain was inherently incredibly strong, causing God Lord Vastsoul to be on the back foot.

After pushing back God Lord Vastsoul, God Lord Bloodrain shot toward the Ancestral Artifact fragment as a red streak of light.

Boom!

Vast quantities of Blood Divine Power surrounded the Ancestral Artifact fragment. The Ancestral Artifact fragment valiantly struggled, but it was still slowly wrapped up by the bloody light.

God Lord Bloodrain had temporarily brought the Ancestral Artifact fragment under control.

“Let’s go!” God Lord Bloodrain yelled.

“Okay!” The Swift Wind Gate Master was ecstatic. It appeared that Swift Wind Gate would have to thank the God Sealing Race’s Tang Bai for his assistance in obtaining the Ancestral Artifact fragment.

Swishswishswish!

All the members of Swift Wind Gate began to retreat, preparing to use their secret speed techniques.

Now that they had the Ancestral Artifact fragment, there was no need to keep fighting. Moreover, the members of Swift Wind Gate were experts at speed; when they focused on running, the members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion would never be able to catch up. As long as they could throw off the members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion, the Ancestral Artifact fragment would belong to Swift Wind Gate!

“Not good! Don’t let them escape!” The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master flapped his wings and pursued.

The other members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion also set off in a frenzied pursuit, unleashing attacks that swept over the world.

In the back, Tang Bai’s team was startled.

“Not good! I didn’t expect Swift Wind Gate to get the Ancestral Artifact fragment so quickly!” Tang Bai’s eyes dimmed.

His imagined scenario was that the two factions would fight until they were exhausted so that his team could suddenly strike and take the Ancestral Artifact fragment. Alas, this scenario did not take place.

And Swift Wind Gate excelled in speed. If Vermillion Bird Pavilion couldn’t catch up, neither could he.

But at this moment:

Thwish!

A ripple of Spacetime energy came from next to them as Zhao Feng shot forward.

“I can catch up. As long as I can hinder Swift Wind Gate for a few moments so that Vermillion Bird Pavilion can catch up…” Zhao Feng chuckled to himself.

As long as Swift Wind Gate was disrupted just enough for Vermillion Bird Pavilion to catch up, the two factions would once more be thrown into a vicious battle.

At this moment, Zhao Feng wasn’t just using his Spacetime energy, but also his Metal Lightning Radiance Wings, pushing his speed to its maximum.

Thwish!

A ripple of energy brushed past the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master. “It’s that brat!” The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master was startled. The Swift Wind Gate Master also sensed something.

“Oh no!” His face twisted in shock and anger.

“This brat was the one who caused our plan to fail?” God Lord Bloodrain stared at Zhao Feng, his eyes brimming with killing intent. For a First Heaven God Lord to explode with a speed surpassing a Second Heaven God Lord was truly shocking.

“Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Slash!” Zhao Feng condensed a Chaos Origin Divine Sword and swung.

Swish! Bang!

A wave of Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning energy howled forward, its power something that not even the Swift Wind Gate Master dared to treat lightly.

The other members hastily moved to dodge. They still remembered how Zhao Feng had killed two First Heaven God Lords.

Boom!

Although the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning slash did not affect anyone else as it descended, it was infused with a white light that distorted and slowed down the world around it.

“Not good! It’s a Time Law!” The Swift Wind Gate Master paled, wanting nothing more than to tear Zhao Feng into a thousand pieces.

At this moment, all the members of Swift Wind Gate were affected by the Time Law and restrained for a few moments. The Vermillion Bird Pavilion members rapidly caught up.

The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master knew that Zhao Feng intentionally hindered Swift Wind Gate so that both sides would fight to the death. But even though he knew that this was Zhao Feng’s plan, the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master could not allow Swift Wind Gate to leave.
