Seeking Martial Dao in All Reborn Lives

"Get the wounded!"

The Fog dissipated, revealing a battlefield with no one left standing. For a moment, both sides forgot their enmity as their masters rushed forward, throwing the scene into chaos.

Meng Dongtai and the others quickly reached Zhao Xuanqi’s side to check his condition.

At this moment, the formless Black Flame burned continuously within Zhao Xuanqi’s body, making his life force extremely unstable. His breathing was as faint as a thread. A soft silver light radiated from the surface of his skin as parts of his body disintegrated into motes of light and vanished.

Rainbow Transformation.

The burning of the Black Flame, combined with Zhao Xuanqi having mobilized more Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi than his body could handle, had left him in a terrible state.

Seeing Zhao Xuanqi’s current condition, Meng Dongtai’s face suddenly paled. He felt that Zhao Xuanqi’s state was remarkably similar to Yuan Tianhao’s before him.

’Why is this happening?! He clearly broke through to the Divine General realm, so why did he still end up like this?!’

’Could it be that the Divine General realm truly cannot be surpassed? Is there some unknown curse?!’

"Take him and go! We have to break through. We can’t stay here any longer! We’ll deal with everything else after we get out of Shangjing!"

Chi Zhenyun’s voice was incredibly grave.

They had defended Shangjing to secure this sliver of hope for Zhao Xuanqi. Now that even Zhao Xuanqi had fallen, they could no longer remain in the city.

Although the four restricted-level masters from Neon seemed to be in an equally terrible state, the enemy had a greater number of masters, was supported by a large army, and far surpassed them in logistics and stamina reserves. In this situation, their chances of victory were extremely low.

"I’ll do it."

Without another word, Xie Yunhe hoisted the prone Zhao Xuanqi onto his shoulders.

"Don’t let a single one of them escape!"

Just then, furious roars came from the Neon side. Numerous masters and soldiers swarmed in to surround them, determined to keep the people of the Divine Land from leaving.

However, with Neon’s four restricted-level masters grievously injured and their status unknown, and the two strongest Masters among the Twenty-Eight Celestial Emperors also severely wounded, it was difficult for them to stop the Divine Land group on the spot, even with their army’s encirclement. The Divine Land masters managed to break through.

The remaining ordinary soldiers of the Divine Land were not so lucky, however. During the breakout, nearly two-thirds of their remaining forces were killed or wounded. Most were scattered by the Neon Army, and many blended into the crowds of refugees.

And this was only the beginning. The vast city of Shangjing was now swarming with the Neon Army. Escaping Shangjing would be no easy task.

"Pursue them! Encircle them! No matter the method, no matter the cost, you must stop them! Zhao Xuanqi must die!"

Seiichiro Shintani said through gritted teeth.

The city was now full of his men. The group from the Divine Land had insufficient supplies. As long as they continuously drained their stamina, those people would never make it out of Shangjing.

Chi Zhenyun’s party of Divine Land masters raced through Shangjing with the unconscious Zhao Xuanqi, constantly facing encirclement and interception by the Neon Army. Although even elite troops couldn’t inflict fatal damage on them, these soldiers fought with a death-defying ferocity that significantly slowed their escape, making it impossible to shake the pursuit of the Neon masters.

Moreover, the drain on their stamina was the biggest problem.

Even masters were still human. Unless one reached the realm of a Divine General, they had to eat to replenish their stamina; they could not reach the state of being Undying by consuming Qi. After a series of battles, their pre-prepared supplies were nearly gone, and their stamina could not withstand a prolonged drain.

"We can’t go on like this. Someone has to stay behind to cover our retreat and hold back the Neon masters for a while, or we’ll never get away!"

Meng Dongtai said in a low voice.

"These Neon Wokou are savage and cruel, no better than beasts! Old Chi, you and I followed the Grand Marshal through life and death back in the day. Do you dare to risk it all with me one more time?"

Xie Yunhe’s eyes were practically splitting with rage, his hair and beard standing on end. He felt a furious anger and resentment rise within him, threatening to consume him completely.

As they broke through, they all witnessed the tragic sights within Shangjing. The Neon Army burned, killed, and looted. In just half a day, the once-prosperous millennium-old capital had been turned into a living Hell.

In that moment, national hatred and personal vendettas washed away any concern for their own safety.

"Why would I not dare?! I have long been prepared for this battle. My affairs within the army are in order. If I die in Shangjing, someone is ready to take over my duties."

Chi Zhenyun’s expression was grim. He knew a choice had to be made. If other masters stayed behind, they might not be able to hold back the Neon masters for long enough. Only if the strongest among them acted personally was there a chance.

"Count me in. If the three of us join forces to hold back the Neon masters for a time, we might even have a chance of survival."

The Celestial Court Army Commander, Li Wanhong, also spoke up.

"Good. The three of us will fight side-by-side. Meng Dongtai, you all must get Zhao Xuanqi out of Shangjing and do everything you can to save him. If he can recover, a Divine General will watch over the world. He will surely make these villains scatter and restore peace to the Divine Land. Our desperate struggle will not have been in vain!"

Chi Zhenyun said to Meng Dongtai and the others.

After speaking, the three Military Commanders exchanged a look. Just as they were about to turn and face the enemy to delay the advance of the opposing masters, they suddenly heard the sound of battle cries from the south, accompanied by the panicked responses of Neon troops.
