Dragon Blooded War God

He was indeed the one controlling the Ancient Demon Corpse.

“Why is Martial Emperor Zhao standing next to that demon girl?”

“Was he really the one who controlled the Ancient Demon Corpse just now? Why would he do that?”

“That’s impossible. Zhao Danchen is the Martial Overlord’s favorite disciple. Is he betraying him now?”

Zhao Danchen’s appearance made the crowd even noisier. Almost everyone spoke loudly with hesitation and disbelief.

Long Chen was a bit surprised too.

Could it be that Zhao Danchen decided to stop following the Martial Overlord after taking the Ancient Demon Corpse? Long Chen quickly figured it out.

At this moment, Zhao Danchen and Zhao Wuji were in a standoff. Zhao Danchen’s expression was mild with a mocking smirk, but the Martial Overlord’s expression was terrible. He had spent a ton of energy to finally get a chance to kill Feng Xuan, but Zhao Danchen had ruined his chance. It had been very difficult to create that opportunity, and he would probably never get another one.

The Ancient Token that should have belonged to him was now in a limbo.

How could Zhao Wuji not be furious? It did not matter how calm he was as a person—anyone would be furious in his position. He admitted that there were some conflicts between him and Zhao Danchen, but he never expected Zhao Danchen to do such a thing.

This tiny action had forced Zhao Wuji to a dead end!

There was a saying that the oldest ginger was the spiciest. However, Zhao Wuji had just been betrayed by his closest disciple. This showed how cold Zhao Danchen was.

“Danchen, explain yourself,” Zhao Wuji said hoarsely with a cold stare.

“Explain myself?” Zhao Danchen laughed loudly and said, “Is that a joke? Why do I need to explain myself? What is the relationship between us? Am I your direct disciple? Or a tool for you to use?”

Zhao Wuji was silent for a moment, and his eyes were fixed on him. “You don’t need to think too much. I’ll give you everything that should be yours, including the Martial Overlord Seal and the Myriad Earth Essence. I can forget about what you did today if you work with me to kill this woman! She is from the Heavenly Wind Empire. If she doesn’t die, we’re all finished!”

At this critical moment, Zhao Wuji did not want to waste time arguing with Zhao Danchen. It was time to finish her off while Feng Xuan was still injured!

If they didn’t, there would be many problems in the future!

“What did you say?” Zhao Danchen laughed even louder. He looked at Zhao Wuji like he was looking at an idiot and said, “Old man, you have a wild imagination. Do you think I’m an idiot? I stopped you just now and ruined your glorious plans. Now you need my strength, so you say you will forget about what I did. But what about after she dies? You’ll try to kill me, right? I am no idiot, so don’t even think about it.”

Initially, when Feng Xuan heard that Zhao Danchen was Zhao Wuji’s disciple, she grew slightly nervous. If they worked together, the injured Feng Xuan would not be a match for them. But when she heard their conversation, she knew that they weren’t on the same page.

“So, what do you want?” Zhao Danchen’s nonchalance was infuriating. There were already people calling him an ungrateful animal in Martial Overlord City, as they had heard the conversation very clearly!

“What do I want? I told you already, I want the Myriad Earth Essence. You did not give it to me when I asked for it, so do it now. If you don’t, you’ll be dead,” threatened Zhao Danchen.

Dead?

This implied that if Zhao Wuji did not give him the Myriad Earth Essence, he would attack Zhao Wuji, who was currently also heavily injured due to the huge side effects of Divine Martial Possession.

“Of course, give me the Martial Overlord rings too. I want to have a taste of the Divine Martial Possession’s power, haha …” Zhao Danchen laughed brazenly.

If he had only asked for the Myriad Earth Essence, Zhao Wuji would have agreed on the spot. However, he was hesitant to hand over the Martial Overlord rings. These rings represented the Martial Overlord’s status and were passed down over generations of Martial Overlords. If Zhao Danchen became the new Martial Overlord in the future, Zhao Wuji would need to give them to him. However, Zhao Wuji’s situation was different because he needed to bring them into the Ancient Graveyard!

That was why even if Zhao Danchen obediently took the Martial Overlord position, he would not receive them!

The Martial Overlord’s eyebrows furrowed even more after he heard Zhao Danchen’s request.

If Zhao Danchen refused to take a step back and continued to drag this on, the consequences would be unimaginable when Feng Xuan recovered.

Feng Xuan spoke up.

“Hey, little brother, I have an even better suggestion. Will you listen?” Feng Xuan was speaking to Zhao Danchen. Her voice was seductive enough to make a person’s heart itch.

Zhao Danchen looked at her in a friendly manner. He got a good look at her face and her body, then he looked surprised. When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on her voluptuous chest, and he gulped. “What would you like to say?”

When Feng Xuan saw him drooling over her body, she giggled. Her foxlike eyes had a hypnotizing effect as she gazed at him demurely and said, “I came to Martial Overlord City only to ask for some Myriad Earth Essence. You also want the Myriad Earth Essence and whatever that Martial Overlord ring is. Only one person has those. Why don’t we work together to destroy him? I only want half of the Myriad Earth Essence. Everything else is yours. What do you think?”

Feng Xuan had spoken evil words in a girly voice.

Martial Overlord City was shaken by her offer.

“Zhao Danchen wouldn’t agree, would he?” The crowd grew anxious. Xiao Lin, who was standing in the crowd, was watching with a dark gaze. He did not move, because he could not offer any help in such a high-level standoff. However, he knew what something even bigger was going to happen today.

If this really happened, he knew he would have to pick a side soon.

Zhao Danchen smiled. In the beginning, he did not reply, and he looked at Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji was looking at him with a pressuring gaze. Zhao Danchen felt very uncomfortable to be looked at like that, even miserable, as if all the dark secrets in his heart were exposed to Zhao Wuji.

He suddenly recalled that Zhao Wuji was the man who had nurtured his talent.

No! Zhao Wuji is only a selfish person. He didn’t even want to give me the Myriad Earth Essence. He only wants to prepare himself to enter the Ancient Graveyard, and he won’t even give me the Martial Overlord rings because of it. Why would I work so hard for such a selfish person? Today will be my only chance to get the Myriad Earth Essence and the Martial Overlord rings!

As for Feng Xuan, Zhao Danchen was not afraid of her now. She was injured; if she wasn’t, she would not have offered to work with him.

In front of countless gazes of disbelief, Zhao Danchen smiled. He nodded at Feng Xuan and said loudly, “I could never say no to such a beautiful girl! Let’s hurry up, then!”

As he spoke, he waved the flag in his hand, and the Ancient Demon Corpse let out a heaven-shaking roar. The bones in its body crackled loudly!

Feng Xuan did not expect Zhao Danchen to actually agree.

This guy even dares to kill his own master. He must be a prominent figure. His cultivation level is not high, he just has the corpse. After we kill his master and my injuries recover, I’ll kill him and take that flag …

This was Feng Xuan’s plan.

“Now!”

Feng Xuan withstood the pain from her injuries and started performing a strange type of footwork. A gust of wind blew towards Zhao Wuji while the Ancient Demon Corpse attacked him!

“Die, Zhao Wuji!” Zhao Danchen gave a chilling smile.

Martial Overlord City erupted with curses. Almost everyone watched furiously as the Martial Overlord was attacked. The face of the man was as dark as coal!

“Zhao Danchen! What an ungrateful bastard! I used to worship his talent; I never thought he was that type of person! He’s going to kill his master over the Myriad Earth Essence and the Martial Overlord rings!”

“That animal! Animal! The heavens will be furious!”

Some elders turned red with anger, almost fainting.

Waves of insults and curses flew at the sky, from cursing Zhao Danchen’s eighteen generations of ancestors to curses of infertility.

Martial Emperor Xiao Lin was at the core of the crowd. Most of the Martial Kings gathered next to him, letting him lead!

“Martial Emperor Xiao, we should quickly rescue the Martial Overlord. If this goes on, he’ll die!”

“Yeah. If Zhao Danchen takes control of the Martial Alliance, will we be able to survive, considering his viciousness? The Martial Alliance will fall in his hands!”

Everyone spoke to him with tears in their eyes.

Xiao Lin’s eyes were fixed on Zhao Wuji. Two masters were attacking him, and Zhao Wuji was already injured and could barely use any more of the Martial Overlord rings’ power. He was truly in a pathetic state. If this continued, death would be unavoidable. This was just his last struggle.

Just now, Zhao Danchen had stopped Zhao Wuji from dealing the finishing blow to Feng Xuan, an opportunity Zhao Wuji had paid a great price to create. Zhao Wuji would not defeat Feng Xuan, especially not with the Ancient Demon Corpse helping her. It was a terrifying creature that did not fear death!

Even if Xiao Lin sacrificed his and all the Martial Kings’ lives, there was no way they could save Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji had never expected to die by his own disciple’s hand.

He refused to surrender!

Zhao Wuji was like a wild beast. The power in the Martial Overlord rings poured into his body. The huge surge of energy burst many of his blood vessels as he forcefully increased his strength.

If this continued, he would collapse.
