140: Chapter 140 Let's go!

Silence.

Deathly silence.

Above the entire Zhenyuan Great Wall, apart from the howling cold wind, there was no other sound.

Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan, the two human Martial Emperors, widened their eyes.

Their faces were full of astonishment and confusion.

What had they just seen?

The high and mighty, arrogant Demon Emperor Heitian.

He was actually injured?!

Drops of ink-black blood, exuding terrifying pressure, dripped from mid-air.

Each drop of blood that hit the ground could blast out a bottomless crater!

Although it was only a cut on his palm, a minor injury.

But.

That was a Demon Emperor!

It was an Abyssal Sovereign whose blood qi approached two hundred billion, with a physical body so terrifyingly strong it was hair-raising!

Who had injured him?!

Demon Emperor Heitian stared fixedly at the wound on his palm, which was dozens of meters long.

At the wound, there was no gushing blood.

Only a layer of gray-black, deathly aura, like a maggot in the bone, clung tightly to his flesh, preventing the wound from healing!

"Nirvana..."

Demon Emperor Heitian's voice was trembling.

In his blood-colored eyes, the previous arrogance and playfulness were gone.

Only deep shock and wariness remained!

Shock!

Extreme shock, rolling through Demon Emperor Heitian's mind like raging waves!

He knew all too well what that strike meant!

Crossing a vast distance.

Crossing the indestructible plane barrier.

It had even traced back along that single, extremely weak strand of his origin connection!

After enduring the consumption of such a long distance.

After being weakened layer by layer by spatial laws.

This strike was still able to break through his defense and injure his true body?!

One had to know, he was a peak Demon Emperor with nearly two hundred billion blood qi!

Even if the two human Martial Emperors before him joined forces, wanting to injure him while he was in his prime state would be no easy task!

"This is definitely not an attack that Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan could unleash!"

Demon Emperor Heitian roared wildly in his heart.

"This Spear Intent... this Martial Will that causes all things to return to nothingness..."

"It has already surpassed Micro-Perception, Shape-Shifting, and Clear Insight!"

"It has even... surpassed Soul Casting!"

"It has vaguely touched the threshold of Qi Resonance!!!"

Demon Emperor Heitian felt his scalp tingle.

Martial Will!

This was a realm that the Abyssal demons could never reach.

The reason human martial artists could defeat the strong with the weak was precisely because of this mysterious Martial Will.

And the person capable of comprehending such terrifying Spear Intent was definitely an old monster who had lived for countless years and had pushed the path of the spear to the extreme!

"The human race... definitely has more than two Martial Emperors!"

Demon Emperor Heitian's breathing became heavy.

"There is another one!"

"There is another peerless Martial Emperor hidden in the shadows!"

"And this person's strength is definitely extremely powerful!"

Demon Emperor Heitian's brain raced wildly, beginning to imagine things.

"Crossing tens of thousands of miles, with most of its power weakened, it could still injure me."

"If this person's true body were right in front of me..."

"If he unleashed this spear strike without reservation..."

Demon Emperor Heitian shuddered violently.

He dared not think further.

That was definitely terrifying power capable of instantly killing him!

Three hundred billion blood qi?

Or four hundred billion?!

No!

It might even be that supreme existence from legends who has touched the threshold of a Martial God!

The human race was actually hiding so deeply!

"Black Heaven!"

"What happened?!"

Beside him, Demon Emperor Xueyu and Demon Emperor Liangu also sensed that something was wrong.

They looked at the unhealable wound on Demon Emperor Heitian's palm, their eyes nearly popping out.

"You are injured?!"

There was a trace of terror in Demon Emperor Xueyu's voice.

As fellow Demon Emperors, he knew very well how monstrous Black Heaven's physical body was.

What on earth had just happened?

They hadn't even sensed any enemy aura, yet Black Heaven had inexplicably started bleeding!

"Who did it?!"

Demon Emperor Liangu's bone spurs stood on end, and he looked around as if facing a great enemy.

"Could it be a human trap?!"

Demon Emperor Heitian gritted his teeth tightly and did not answer.

His gaze flickered uncertainly as he stared at Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan, who were equally bewildered on the opposite side.

"A trap..."

"This is definitely a heaven-shaking trap!"

Demon Emperor Heitian deduced frantically in his heart.

"We are in danger."

"They knew long ago that a peerless Martial Emperor was guarding in the shadows!"

"They just wanted to lure us three Demon Emperors into a full-scale attack."

"Then, that terrifying existence hidden in the shadows would strike with thunderous force."

"And wipe us all out!!!"

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Demon Emperor Heitian's back.

So close!

Too dangerous!

If he hadn't split off that strand of origin to the capital just now.

If that peerless Martial Emperor in the shadows hadn't exposed their aura prematurely due to the incident in the capital.

Once he, Demon Emperor Xueyu, and Demon Emperor Liangu had truly charged into the human heartland.

Facing that terrifying Martial Emperor who had mastered the Nirvana Spear Intent and possessed unfathomable strength.

The three of them would definitely have been finished here today!

"Retreat!"

Demon Emperor Heitian turned his head abruptly and let out a low roar at Demon Emperor Xueyu and Demon Emperor Liangu.

"What?!"

Demon Emperor Xueyu was stunned.

"Retreat? Our army is pressing down on the border, and we are just retreating like this?!"

"Shut up!"

A flash of madness and wariness crossed Demon Emperor Heitian's eyes.

"The human race has a scheme!"

"They have hidden a peerless Martial Emperor whose strength far exceeds yours and mine!"

"That strike just now was a warning!"

"If we don't leave now, none of us will make it back to the Abyss alive today!"

Hearing this, Demon Emperor Xueyu and Demon Emperor Liangu were shocked.

A hidden peerless Martial Emperor?!

Strength far exceeding theirs?!

The Abyssal demons were inherently selfish and prized their own lives above all else.

Upon hearing there was a risk of falling, they no longer cared about attacking the human defense line.

"Go!"

The three Demon Emperors did not hesitate at all.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three terrifying pillars of blood qi instantly retracted.

The massive demonic shadows, like receding black water, retreated wildly toward the direction of the Abyssal passage at a speed ten times faster than when they arrived!

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared at the edge of the Zhenyuan Great Wall's sight.

Only the sky full of deathly gray leaden clouds remained, slowly drifting away in the cold wind.

Above the Zhenyuan Great Wall.

Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan looked at each other.

The two stared blankly, their foreheads full of big question marks.

"They... just ran away?"

Chu Zhan scratched his head, his face full of disbelief.

"Old Qin, what just happened?"

"How did that old guy Black Heaven suddenly get injured? And then run away as if he'd seen a ghost?"

Qin Fuhai took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

He looked in the direction where Demon Emperor Heitian had fled, a glimmer of uncertain suspicion flickering in his eyes.

"I don't know."

"But in that instant just now, I did indeed feel an extremely terrifying Spear Intent."

"That Spear Intent, even for me, made me feel a palpitation."

Qin Fuhai turned his head and looked toward the direction of the human heartland.

The capital.

"Could it be..."

"Does my Great Xia Kingdom really have some reclusive senior who has taken action from the shadows?"

The two looked at each other, both seeing the shock and relief in each other's eyes.

Regardless, the crisis had been resolved.
