My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 599: A Fierce Momentum

It is well known that the Asura clan, despite their amazing fighting prowess, hold their agreements in the highest regard. They have their own sense of honour.

If Lord Deng didn’t die, but the Asura Clan took the initiative to break the agreement, it would certainly be against their clan’s principles, and the initiative would be in the hands of the Human Clan.

With this opportunity, the Human Clan might be able to make a new agreement with the Asura Clan and find a permanent solution!

Once again, everyone looked at the figure with the white clothes and white hair, and couldn’t help but think, could this all be part of the Heavenly Tower National Teacher’s calculations?

Enemies, allies, all are pawns in the hands of the National Teacher, truly cunning…

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher glanced over, and everyone quickly looked away.

Cang Feilan asked coldly, “So all we can do now is wait here? What should we do about those who secretly conspired to kill my husband?”

If Qin Feng hadn’t anticipated all of this early on and taken precautions, all of these illusions would have seemed to come true. Thinking about this, she felt resentful and wanted to kill these people first.

“Acting immediately will only alert the enemy. We have to wait until there’s movement from the Asura Clan.”

“Besides, the Demon Slaying Department has already been secretly dispatched by Lord Deng, and even His Majesty has sent trusted officials from the Prison Department to clean up internally.”

“It’s only a matter of time before we capture all the enemies,” Qin Feng said.

Cang Feilan remained silent, but the slight furrow in her brow still showed her current dissatisfaction.

On the side, Liu Jianli appeared calm and composed, but she couldn’t hide the coldness in her eyes.

Both of them harboured anger in their hearts. They could bully their own husbands, but not others!

From the railing, the rain outside was barely noticeable, but the sky remained dark.

The National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower gazed to the east, his eyes reflecting the sky, lost in thought.

…

As the saying goes, “Troubles come one after the other, like rain leaking through a roof at night”.

Just two days ago, the news of the Prince’s death had unsettled the people’s hearts, and now another piece of news felt like the sky was falling, spreading from the Eastern Domain all the way to the Imperial City.

The Asura Clan had gone beyond the boundaries of the Eastern Domain, violating the original agreement!

At first, some people didn’t believe it, but the news spread further and further.

Some were still confused. Why would the Asura Clan, which had always valued promises, suddenly change its stance? Could it be that the intent to kill had become so obvious that they couldn’t hold back?

Until someone pointed out that it was Lord Deng of the Demon Slaying Department who had made the deal with the Asura Clan.

And Lord Deng was already dead!

For a moment, their hearts trembled with fear.

The Asura Clan was known to the world for being fierce and skilled in battle, able to fight one against a hundred.

Moreover, the fearsome Asura King had even clashed with the Divine Guardian once, and although he was no match, he managed to escape unscathed, which showed how terrifying his strength was.

Besides, the Divine Guardian hadn’t made a move for a long time, perhaps he was getting old, and if he was no match for the Asura King…

If that were the case, wouldn’t it spell disaster for the human race?

No one dared to think any further. The once bustling tavern was now eerily silent.

After all, the recent events were not trivial matters that ordinary people could discuss casually.

Besides, the people were still clinging to a glimmer of hope. Perhaps the esteemed individuals of the Eastern Demon Slaying Department could force the Asura Clan back to their extreme territory?

…

Of course, the Eastern Demon Slaying Department and Prince Huai couldn’t allow the Asura Clan to freely invade the Great Qian.

Nearly a hundred thousand soldiers gathered together to block the Asura tribe’s only way to the west.

The top forces of the Demon Slaying Department were all present: the Eastern Region Commander, the three Twelve Divine Generals, and several Thirty-Six Stars hovered in the air, watching the approaching overwhelming murderous aura with furrowed brows.

Even though the Asura Clan’s march lacked order and seemed careless, it still felt like a ferocious dragon crossing the river, leaving everyone breathless.

Those bloodthirsty eyes, that formidable battle intent, scared the birds and beasts into fleeing and made the horses restless.

Especially Heaven Killing Asura and the four great warlords riding on the heads of huge wild beasts. They looked like demons devouring the sky. Even a glance from them could instantly crush the courage of those with weak minds.

Pressuring everyone without even fighting, that was the unparalleled strength of the Asura Clan!

The strongest Eastern Commander took a step forward and shouted,  “Could it be that the agreement you made with my master back then is now void?”

Indeed, he was Deng Mo’s disciple, who practised the Hundred Ghost Dao Lineage, known as Qiu Wuhen, known as the Ghost Cry of the Eight Wildernesses.

Beside Heavenly Killing Asura’s throne, a tall and thin Asura with his arms and bones exposed said: “The one who made the alliance with our clan back then was that old fellow Deng Mo, and not long ago, news of his death reached our clan.”

“We must go to the Imperial City to confirm the truth of the news with our own eyes. If it is true, the agreement will naturally be nullified.”

This person was one of the four war kings, the evil king Bimala.

“Before confirming the truth of this matter, your invasion of the eastern region has already violated the agreement!” Qiu Wuheng said sternly.

The warrior king Tianji Luo showed a fierce grin: “If we want to break the agreement with people like you, how can you stop our clan’s warriors?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianji Luo immediately swooped down on the head of the extremely ferocious beast and faced the Eastern Region Commander.

Of course, the other three Asura War Kings and the three Divine Generals wouldn’t stand idly by.

The battle between the strongest forces on both sides was about to begin.

Only Heaven Killing Asura remained seated on the towering throne made from the skull of the wild beast, looking down in disdain.

…

Another day passed, and the news from the eastern region was like a drop of water falling into a boiling pot of oil, instantly causing an uproar in the Imperial City.

The Asura Clan was advancing westward from the far eastern region, covering thousands of miles in a single day, and no one could stop them.

The commander of the Demon Slaying Department in the Eastern Region, along with the three Divine Generals, tried to stop them, but they were no match for the four war kings of the Asura Clan, and were left badly injured and unable to fight.

The battle between the supreme forces on both sides was almost completely one-sided, and the ordinary soldiers and low-grade demon slayers were naturally afraid to even enter the fray.

Upon receiving the Imperial decree, the Prince led his troops to retreat a hundred miles away, clearing the way.

And from beginning to end, the Asura King made no move!

While the people of Imperial City were in fear and anxiety, the National Teacher in the Heavenly Tower of the Great Literature Academy looked to the east and suddenly said, “It’s time.”

At the same time, the old man who was fishing by the Nine Bend River suddenly put down his fishing rod and stood up.

With his hands behind his back, he walked step by step through the air. Though his pace seemed slow, after a few breaths, his figure disappeared from the scene.

Outside Imperial City, a thousand miles to the east, the earth shook violently.

A frighteningly huge wild beast stood on all fours, its head higher than mountains.

The ground trembled, and the sound of his footsteps echoed incessantly as the Asura Clan’s army approached.

On the throne, Heaven Killing Asura sensed something and immediately flashed a sinister smile, his eyes filled with killing intent.

He raised his right hand, and the wild beast stopped.

“My king, why have we stopped?” Evil King Bimala asked in confusion.

“We have reached the old man’s territory. It’s always wise to be cautious,” Heaven Killing Asura said, his gaze fixed ahead.

The crowd of asura followed his gaze and saw an old man with white hair and a black beard floating in the sky, coldly staring at them.

Roar!

The ferocious beast suddenly let out a roar of alarm as its massive body collapsed.

Heaven Killing Asura stood up and stepped forward with his right foot, and the beast’s head instantly shattered, bones and flesh flying, and blood raining down like a deluge.

“If you kneel before anyone but me, you deserve to die.”

“You old thing, how much strength do you have left from your heyday?”

The Divine Guardian glanced at the Asuras, then spoke calmly, “The peaceful land of Eastern Region was quite good. Why did you come here to die?”
