Infinite Professions

Chapter 446: Chapter 228: Finale (Part 2)

Though the Tiger Brave Forbidden Guard is elite, they cannot withstand a night of chaotic battle. The remaining dozen riders are all exhausted, even if they could face the pursuing troops, it would be a painful cost, thus they can only flee.

But where can they escape to?

Xiao Ye doesn’t know, and has no decision, only relying on instinct, using his last breath to run wildly.

Running thus, unknown how long, the dozen riders turn into several, several then into one, the guards sacrifice themselves to cover the retreat, leaving only Xiao Ye fleeing, but man is tired and horse weary, still hard to escape, with a squad of cavalry close behind.

Finally, running to a place, seeing the mighty river waves, he has arrived at the bank of Weishui River, but it’s not where he docks his boat, no reinforcements to receive, instead the river blocks, cutting off the escape path.

"Is Heaven going to destroy me?"

Even Xiao Ye, seeing this situation, feels some despair.

"Bandit chief, halt!"

The cavalry behind see this, also galloping to fight, wanting to seize the great merit.

At the moment when both sides are close...

"Whoosh!!!"

From unknown origin, sudden gusts, sand flying and stones moving.

The rushing cavalry blocked by wind and sand, Xiao Ye in front yet to react, hears a roar from the steed beneath him.

"Neigh!!!"

The steed roars, like a dragon’s chant, then its four hooves fly up, in Xiao Ye’s astonished gaze rushing straight towards Weishui.

"Bang!!!"

The steed gallops, reaches the riverbank, leaps with might, soaring more than a hundred yards, like a divine dragon ascends to heaven, directly crossing the vast, surging Weishui River.

This scene, leaves the cavalry behind stunned and speechless, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Hahaha!"

"Heaven does not destroy me!"

The opposite side of the river, the flying horse descends, still full of spirit, Xiao Ye survives the calamity and laughs loudly, looking back at the pursuers: "Song Xiang, this king will remember you!"

With that, a snap of the whip, rushing quickly away.

Simultaneously...

"Boom!!"

Thunder in a clear sky, sudden change of wind and clouds.

In the Underworld above the skies, Shen Hex coldly watching the turbulent Weishui and the dragon shadow hidden within the water: "Weishui River Dragon Monarch, do you want to be my enemy!?"

"Calm your anger, friend!"

In Weishui River, dragon chants echoed: "This person has been kind to me, forced to repay the cause and effect, not intentionally making things difficult for you, especially now Great Chen’s fate is not exhausted, friend has already gained Jinyang Land, why insist on total annihilation, why not shake hands for peace, to avoid military disaster causing chaos and suffering?"

"What a cause and effect!"

Shen Hex cold-eyed, saying no more: "I will remember this!"

With that, he shook his sleeves and left, not caring about the other’s reaction.

"Ah..."

Seeing this situation, from within Weishui River, came a sigh.

Thus, in the City God Temple, Shen Hex returns.

Three-party war, all victory, won very well.

But unfortunately, not perfect.

At the last moment, the Weishui River Dragon Monarch, interfered in the human world, possessed the war horse, aiding Xiao Ye to leap the river and escape.

This was unexpected but reasonable.

The Hidden Dragon trend, aside from itself, has external, definitely a group of deities doing things for the dragon.

The Weishui River Dragon Monarch, is one, and the most prominent among them.

The Weishui great river, connects Yangzhou, turns south to north, is one of the world’s famous flows, no less than Three Mountains and Five Peaks.

As the Master of Weishui River, this monarch is a Great God, in the Standard Third Grade.

If not so, he cannot intervene, save that Xiao Ye to escape.

The world has rules, Yin and Yang are different, deities’ intervention in the human world will result in celestial punishment.

Ordinary matters are so, let alone this Hidden Dragon, any interference will cause great cause and effect, attract Celestial Dao punishment, below Third Grade, none can survive but with injuries.

It is only this Weishui River Dragon Monarch as a Third-Rank Great God, powerful, deep foundation, can counter the celestial punishment power, anyone else, even Qingping Huide such as a Fourth-rank True God, dare to interfere with Hidden Dragon’s life and death would be eliminated by celestial punishment, turned to ashes.

The power of the Great God is evident.

To Shen Hex, this is also difficult.

Although he has Merit Golden Body, Weishui can both save him and kill, but killing will suffer great celestial punishment, likely breaking his Merit Golden Body.

This is unwise, after all, he has just taken Qingping Temple and Donglian Temple, needs to guard against Daoist and Buddhist Sects’ counterattack and revenge.

At this time, breaking Merit Golden Body, is no doubt putting himself in danger, the Daoist and Buddhist Sects and Great Chen Court, and this Weishui River Dragon Monarch, all would be eyeing, waiting for an opportunity.

A little Xiao Ye, not worth him taking such a risk.

Thus, this battle has some regret.

But it doesn’t matter, that Hidden Dragon to him is just that, could kill is certainly good, not killing also irrelevant, no such thing as letting the tiger back to the mountain, endless trouble, because he is the trouble.

In development, who does he fear?

Unless the Hidden Dragon can rally several Third-Rank Great Gods to attack Jinyang, otherwise he poses no threat to Shen Hex, regardless of Yin and Yang.

But Third-Rank Great Gods, everlasting, how can they move lightly?

Let alone he has Merit Golden Body, its counterforce no less than Hidden Dragon fate, those Third-Rank Great Gods unlikely to take calamity upon themselves, for it to suffer to this point, saving him like the Weishui River Dragon Monarch at crucial times is the limit.

Shen Hex estimates, even if these Third-Rank Great Gods want to eliminate him, the probability is they would exploit Dragon Qi, use monarch power to crush him, rather than initiate an Underworld god war, venture the counterforce of Merit Golden Body to strike him.

Thus in the end still have to compete in development, only Hidden Dragon developing, achieving monarch power, can break his Merit Golden Body.

But then returns to the original issue.

In development, who does he fear?

So, a mere Hidden Dragon, irrelevant.
