Chapter 1220: Chapter 1224: A Desperate Fight Chapter 1220: Chapter 1224: A Desperate Fight …

The Divine City behind him gradually began to stir with disturbances.

Zhu Minglang heard the noise, which likely came from some people who could no longer suppress the frenzy in their hearts and sought to challenge this divine authority.

However, to Zhu Minglang’s great surprise, the Arhat Temple ahead was completely deserted.

No one to stop me?

I was fully prepared for a bloody confrontation.

Zhu Minglang walked straight toward the Tiangang Luohan Temple Group. Ordinarily, the area should be guarded by the Nine Heavenly Star Monks, and there should also be a large group of Black Hemp Robe Monks and Silent Monks.

The main gate wide open??

Zhu Minglang continued forward, looking north out of instinct and noticing an upsurge of energy storms with varied glows in the Divine City’s Half Mountain Area, which suggested that a fierce combat among gods was taking place there.

“Crow, what’s going on?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“They’ve dispersed everywhere, targeting others who were supposed to meet up with you at Gold Mansion,” replied White Marsh Crow, perching on a tree branch next to Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang passed through the connected Arhat Temples to find, indeed, there wasn’t a single person.

Following this Worship Boulevard, he would soon be able to see the Gold Mansion where the Four Great Sword Immortals were located.

But looking out from here, the entire Worship Boulevard was also eerily empty. Not long ago Zhu Minglang had sensed a large number of gods and the God Army gathering on his intended path, but they seemed to have dispersed quickly to various parts of the Divine City.

What did this mean?

Was their plan to breach the city seen through??

Before coming here, Li Xinghua had made a very detailed strategic deployment.

She told Zhu Minglang that the gap in strength between the two sides was not as big as imagined, vividly describing it with the metaphor of Dragon chess.

Dragon chess is a game beloved by young folks, using stones of different shapes to represent dragons, tigers, leopards, wolves, dogs…

Both sides possess the same game pieces, but each side’s pieces are hidden, so neither knows what each piece of the other represents.

Dragons overpower tigers, tigers overpower leopards, leopards overpower wolves, and wolves overpower dogs.

A master player can defeat all of the opponent’s pieces without losing any of their own animal chess pieces.

Li Xinghua is a Prophet, and she had already discerned all the opponent’s pieces and knew how they would defend. Thus, she could make the most rational offensive distribution, creating perfect scenarios where tigers would eat wolves, and wolves would eat dogs. Even if the enemy’s strength was on par with theirs, they could still achieve a complete victory.

That’s why Zhu Minglang needed to break through the city alone. As the Dragon piece, the enemy had no knowledge of his true power. Whether it was the Arhat Temples or the Sword Immortal formation, they were all like tigers, leopards, wolves, and dogs, which Zhu Minglang would annihilate. This would also allow his allies to take out the hidden wolves and tigers elsewhere in Divine City!

To exploit the difference in strength, to seize the advantage in timing; only then could they thoroughly obliterate all forces of Tian Shu God Manor!

But clearly, something had changed!

The enemy seemed to have recognized Zhu Minglang as a “Supreme Dragon piece,” and thus they no longer sent men to their deaths.

Instead, they had dispatched their fierce tiger and leopard chess pieces elsewhere, aiming to kill others around him who were less powerful than he was!

“What are we waiting for? Just go and confront Hua Chou directly. With so many mighty dragons at your disposal, what could Hua Chou use to contend with you!” White Marsh Crow said to Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang stood still, neither rushing forward nor leaving.

He tried hard to recall every word Li Xinghua had said.

In fact, Li Xinghua had anticipated this situation in her rehearsals, and she solemnly told him that if he encountered no resistance at all on his path, it would mean that the Xuange God had foreseen their strength and understood their strategy.

“If that’s the case, it signifies that the Xuange God is playing an open game of chess with us,” echoed Li Xinghua’s voice in Zhu Minglang’s mind.

“Preordained confrontation?”

“Indeed, since she knows of my existence, no matter how she replays the situation, the outcome will only head towards one direction… It’s like when both sides know the identities in a game of hidden animal chess, know all the possible moves of the beasts, any brilliant tactics or bizarre arrangements become meaningless. It’s simply dog eat dog, wolf eat wolf, leopard eat leopard, tiger eat tiger… dragon eat dragon!”

“A battle where both sides perish? That’s hard to accept.” Zhu Minglang found this outcome unacceptable.

“The Xuange God also does not accept it; thus, her ultimate arrangement and my ultimate arrangement will be the same,” Li Xinghua stated.

Zhu Minglang still remembered the look in Li Xinghua’s eyes when she said this, determined and confident!

The ultimate arrangements will be the same.

When all the gambits are included in the delicate calculations of two Prophets, the contest becomes meaningless.

Thus, victory and life and death are left to two chess pieces, dragon versus dragon!

Zhu Minglang versus Hua Chou!

This is the ultimate arrangement.

This is also the reason why there are no obstacles to be seen on the entire Worship Boulevard!

All Zhu Minglang needs to do is to keep moving forward, and he will see a person, and this person is Hua Chou!

The Xuange God and Li Xinghua have cut away all scenarios of mutual destruction, placing all bets on these two individuals.

Gambled with everyone’s lives.

Either everyone survives, or everyone dies!

Similarly, the Xuange God gambled with the lives of all in the Extinguish Sect, either they all survive, or they all die!

This is the course of fate that both Li Xinghua and the Xuange God can accept; otherwise, endless replays and calculations will eventually lead to both sides falling.

No winners, just piles of corpses!

…

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Minglang now understands completely, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

There’s no turning back.

Even the road ahead is unknown, the Prophet Li Xinghua can no longer illuminate the fortune or misfortune ahead for him.

Likewise, the Xuange God cannot predict the outcome.

“Bai Qi, Little Eve, follow the guidance of the crow, protect the others.”

“Little Gold Dragon, Xuanlong, go intercept Shan Meng.”

“Reverse Spot, Black Fang, Qing Zhuo… go now, take good care of everyone.”

Zhu Minglang called out all the dragons from his Spirit Realm.

While moving forward, he scattered his dragons across different battlefields of Divine City.

Even knowing that the Xuange God intended to restrain him, Zhu Minglang had to act this way.

Indeed, if he gathered all his dragons by his side and charged at Hua Chou, victory would be certain, but everyone else would die. Such a victory was not what Zhu Minglang wanted.

From the moment he resolved to fight a decisive battle to the death with Hua Chou, every person by his side did not hesitate, coming with the same resolute determination to clear the obstacles for him.

He should also bring them out alive.
