Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 474: 474

Xue Wei’s original shape was overwhelmingly oppressive and impossible to overlook . Still, when he had taken on his human shape, he was capable of hiding amongst the crowd, and closing in on the cage .

Xue Wei appeared next to the cage, he did not materialize a sword out of Qi, but instead he transformed once again, the massive figure once more appearing on the battlefield .

The shape, which was much larger than before took up a lot of space in no time, and the cage which was beneath him was crushed .

The cage broke, and the vermilion bird clan’s members looked in shock at the oversized Azure Dragon .

But their shock was suddenly replaced with ecstasy . They had not thought that their freedom would come so suddenly, and they hurried to escape .

Their retreat was covered by Xue Wei, and they all made it back to the main army .

Looking around, Xue Wei found that all the Diviners who had come from Chang’an were dead by now, and they had no reason to continue the battle .

The two continents had never before planned on having an all-out war, so if they continued like this, then it would be equal to winning a battle while heavily injuring themselves in the process . Neither of the armies was willing to do this .

Originally the Xiyang Continent’s army had planned on eradicating the Demon Phoenix Continent with one swift move . Still, they had failed, and continuing the direct battle would not be beneficial to them .

The Demon Phoenix Continent’s army was also satisfied with the outcome as their rescue mission was a success .

The two armies acted as if they had planned it beforehand . They retreated backward, and they did not continue to fight . The ground was littered with corpses, and the blood had turned the whole field into a muddy terrain, but no one paid attention to it .

If a life was lost in the war, their bodies could not be reclaimed, and thus these corpses were left on the battlefield .

Xue Wei was relaxed . The rescue mission was a success, and he had managed to try fighting against the Xiyang Prince .

A smile appeared on his lips as he thought about the storage treasure he had stolen from the prince . If the Twisting Heaven Slash was indeed within that storage treasure, then he would have benefited greatly .

The two groups of people were like ebbing tides of water which were retreating backward . Initially, Xue Wei and his friends had wanted to return to the ravine where they had been stationed before, but now people often vanished from the army .

The big battle was over, but now they had to return to the small skirmishes, battling amongst groups .

There was no reason to stay in the big group, and only the Emperors and Kings went back to the ravine, bringing with them the wounded Vermilion Bird Clan members .

These Vermilion Bird Clan members were seriously injured . They were going to be sent back to the Demon Phoenix Continent as soon as possible, but they could not handle the trip right now, and thus the group returned to the ravine to nourish their health before they could make it back .

During this time, the Emperor and King ranked experts were acting as security guards for the Vermilion Bird Clan members .

Knowing that they were safe, Xue Wei met up with his friends again, and moments after, they left the group of soldiers .

As they moved to the side, they stopped at the edge of a forest and looked back on the snake of people who marched further away .

There was a strange sense of belonging in Xue Wei’s heart . He had never belonged anywhere, but the Demon Phoenix Continent’s Emperor was very friendly towards him, and helped him in many ways .

Xue Wei had the feeling that the Emperor was like an elder to him . He respected him and admired him, and now that he could pay him back, he would do his utmost to help .

This was also why he had wanted to help mutate the soldiers of the army . Usually, Xue Wei was not a person who would interfere with others, but when someone was respectful to him, he would give them ten times the same respect, but if someone was impolite, he would also make them suffer a hundred times more than what he suffered .

Hei Gou, Bai Tianyi, Luoluo, and Lin Xiao were used to Xue Wei’s behavior of returning favors, but Lan was quite surprised .

Ever since he had begun traveling with Xue Wei, he had seen new sides to him . Seeing that Xue Wei was the one who rescued the Vermilion Birds, he was quite curious as to why, but the answer he got when asking Xue Wei about it, had stumped him .

"The Vermilion Bird Emperor was kind to me," he had said . "And I wish to return the favor . The Vermilion Bird Clan’s members are all important to him, so the least I can do is to help his people . "

"You were putting your life on the line," Lan had pointed out, but Xue Wei had looked at him with complete disdain in his eyes .

"I entered the war well knowing that my life can be forfeited at any given moment . Although I had not planned on going behind enemy lines, I was confident in the messy battleground and my own skills . I will do what I can with the least amount of risk, but sometimes I have to take a chance to improve myself . "

Lan had been surprised by the maturity of Xue Wei . Although he was young, his mentality was already so mature that Lan could not help but feel amazed .
