412: Chase Duke Guo!

The southeast direction was currently the weakest point in the imperial army's strength.

Guarding this area were several generals from the Tianyan Lion Army, all at or above the Nine-Rank Fifth Layer.

Guo Kang fled towards this area with the intention of killing a few generals.

Therefore, as soon as he rushed over with his personal guards, he immediately condensed fiery great snakes in his hands and blasted them towards those generals.

He was already a powerhouse at the Nine-Rank Eighth Layer Limit.

As soon as he made his move, the sky immediately rumbled.

“Not good!”

“Defend!”

Those generals roared repeatedly, sensing the danger, and quickly circulated their spiritual energy, while also ordering their soldiers to form a protective formation.

However, in an instant, their protective barrier was shattered.

The terrifying fiery great snakes had already slammed into these generals.

They were sent flying, their armor exploding.

They crashed against the wall, their fates unknown.

“Guo Kang, you’re courting death!”

Almost at the same instant, Guo Feng had already rushed over, and without hesitation, he pressed down with his great hand from above.

The powerful Fire Emperor Great Hand swept down, carrying terrifying heatwaves, directly striking Guo Kang and the others' heads.

“This little beast, he’s actually become so powerful!”

Guo Kang was also greatly shocked; although he knew that Guo Feng was already extremely strong, he had never expected Guo Feng to have become this powerful.

He quickly circulated his Nine-Rank spiritual artifact, unleashing streaks of light.

At the same time, he also blasted out fiery great snakes to counter Guo Feng's casual strike.

However, these lights immediately shattered.

The spiritual artifact developed cracks and became ineffective.

And his fiery great snakes were instantly shattered.

Boom, boom, boom!

Almost simultaneously, all of his powerful personal guards exploded and died.

“Guo Feng, you just wait for me!”

Guo Kang spat out a mouthful of blood, but he still seized the opportunity to circulate a secret art, transforming into a fire snake, his speed skyrocketing as he rushed out of Guo Wang City.

At this moment, because Guo Kang had attacked the southeast, the enemy forces surged towards this direction like a tide.

Guo Kang had already fled.

How could the others not flee!

However, along with Guo Feng, Qin Tian and other Nine-Rank Eighth Layer powerhouses also pursued.

Guo Feng waved his hand, “Senior Brother Qin Tian, you all help guard this place; I will pursue Guo Kang alone!”

“But…”

Qin Tian knew about Guo Feng's scheme against Zhao Xing, so how could he feel at ease with Guo Feng going alone?

Guo Feng shook his head, “Don’t worry, I have my plan; you just need to help me take down Guo Wang City.”

“Alright, Junior Brother, be careful with everything!”

As Qin Tian spoke, he already unleashed the Great Sumeru Fist Imprint towards the attacking defeated army.

For a moment, heaven and earth trembled.

Those defeated soldiers who wanted to escape immediately suffered heavy casualties!

At this moment, Guo Feng had already pursued Guo Kang, leaving Guo Wang City by several hundred kilometers.

The clamor in the distance grew fainter and fainter.

However, Guo Feng's mood grew more and more excited.

The greatest danger in plotting against Zhao Xing was not that Zhao Xing was at the Nine-Rank Ninth Layer Limit.

He had no fear of that.

The greatest danger was that Zhao Xing could break through to the Tenth Rank at any time!

There was a world of difference between the Tenth Rank and the Ninth Rank.

However, if Zhao Xing was dealt with, then his and Night Condensation's plan would become much easier.

“Guo Feng, you dare to pursue me, aren’t you afraid I have an ambush here?”

Guo Kang fled at high speed while deliberately putting on an act.

He wanted Guo Feng to think he was scared.

All his words were bluster.

“Guo Kang, stop pretending; the reason I let you escape was mainly because I didn’t want Guo Wang City to be too heavily damaged.”

Guo Feng chuckled, his figure flashing, his speed skyrocketing.

It turned out that he had been deliberately toying with Guo Kang earlier.

He had never intended for Guo Kang to rendezvous with Zhao Xing.

Anyway, if Zhao Xing were to come this time, he would inevitably make a move.

Just as he said, he just wanted to lead the battlefield outside Guo Wang City to minimize losses.

“You—”

Guo Kang suddenly sensed Guo Feng accelerating sharply, and his heart panicked.

The next moment.

He felt a terrifying, scorching hot wave of air, as if it would incinerate everything, enveloping him.

It was Guo Feng's Fire Emperor Red Emperor Purgatory Great Barrier.

As soon as it descended, Guo Kang's path was blocked, and the scorching flames made even him, a cultivator of the fire path, greatly uncomfortable.

His entire body's hair began to burn.

One must know that with Guo Feng's greatly increased strength and his Nine-Rank Ninth Layer realm, the power of such a Heaven-grade ultimate divine ability was imaginable.

“No, what kind of cultivation method is this? Why is it so terrifying?”

Guo Kang was stunned.

He, a powerhouse at the Nine-Rank Eighth Layer Limit, actually felt as if he would be refined within a few breaths.

It was simply too terrifying.

He quickly exerted all his strength, circulating his spiritual energy, and threw out spiritual talismans one after another.

He used his life-saving measures.

However, as soon as his spiritual talismans released their barriers, they were quickly refined by Guo Feng's Fire Emperor Red Emperor Purgatory Great Barrier.

Within the Great Barrier, explosions continuously resounded.

And Guo Kang's body began to burn from the inside out.

The pain was immense!

“Guo Kang, when you attacked me back then, it sealed your demise today.”

Guo Feng chuckled, “So, you might as well accept your fate!”

As he spoke, he blasted the Fire Emperor Qi into the Fire Emperor Red Emperor Purgatory Great Barrier.

Making the Fire Emperor Qi within the Great Barrier even more scorching!

“Stop it! Don’t you want the Awakening Altar anymore?”

Guo Kang struggled to persist while shouting loudly.

“I know you’re stalling for time, and I also know that you’ve teamed up with Zhao Xing, hoping he can come to save you.”

Guo Feng smiled faintly, “But by the time he arrives, you’ll already be dead.”

He waved his hand, “How about this, you give me the Awakening Altar, and I’ll let you live, just as I said before.”

He actually wanted the Awakening Altar as well.

“Okay, I’ll give you the Awakening Altar, just let me go.”

Guo Kang quickly agreed.

Guo Feng's strength exceeded his expectations.

He had no choice but to compromise.

“You give me the altar, and I will let you go.”

Guo Feng nodded and said.

“Then I can only hope you are a man of your word.”

Guo Kang was also helpless; at this moment, he didn't know where Zhao Xing was.

He even wondered if Zhao Xing would use Guo Feng to kill him.

And then kill Guo Feng.

Killing two birds with one stone.

As he spoke, he threw out the altar that he had previously revealed, which was condensed into a micro-space.

Guo Feng's divine sense swept over it and knew that this was the same altar as before.

As he spoke, he beckoned and put the altar into his spatial storage.

He then waved his hand.

The Fire Emperor Red Emperor Purgatory Great Barrier instantly disappeared.

Guo Kang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Alright, Guo Feng, I lost this time; I never expected you to be such a monstrous talent. We shall meet again!”

As he spoke, he flew towards the horizon.

However, at this very moment, a skeletal hand burning with raging flames suddenly slammed down from the horizon, covering the sky.

“Ah, Zhao Xing, you—”

Guo Kang's face changed drastically, and he let out a loud roar.

It turned out that this divine ability was unleashed by Third Uncle Zhao Xing to stop him from leaving.

“Heh!”

However, at this moment, Guo Feng smiled.

It turned out that he had already sensed Zhao Xing's aura long ago.
