Chapter 155: Enemy’s Enemy Was One’s Ally

"Dashang's Marquis Champion truly lives up to his reputation! But I will avenge my second brother sooner or later!"

The Ninth Princess of the Dachu Empire said coldly.

She raised the sword in her hand and waved it gently.

Swoosh!

In an instant, a sword light like a galaxy surged out and swept across heaven and earth.

At this moment, the long sword in her hand seemed to come alive, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

Amongst them, a silver-white divine phoenix followed the river of sword Qi and pounced over.

"Screech!"

The divine phoenix roared, shaking heaven and earth.

Facing such a terrifying strike, Marquis Champion's expression remained unchanged.

He punched out casually without dodging, facing the Ninth Princess's terrifying attack head-on with indomitable will.

Mortal Emperor Fist!

This fist technique originally belonged to the Dashang Imperial Family, but it was now being used by Marquis Champion.

The fist force carried successive sonic booms, like a tsunami, deafening, wave after wave, sweeping through the nine heavens with rumbling that made people want to vomit blood.

"Boom!"

The world shook.

The silver-white divine wind did not last long against this punch. It turned into a brilliant light that filled the sky and disappeared from the world.

After the divine wind disappeared.

Marquis Champion's Mortal Emperor Fist didn't disappear. It shattered several mountains behind him.

When the dust settled, the figure of Dachu's Ninth Princess had long disappeared, as if she had never appeared.

"Lord Marquis, do you need me to lead men in pursuit?"

At this moment, a God Altar Realm general dressed in golden armor commanded a demonic beast to the side of Marquis Champion and said respectfully.

"There's no need to pursue."

Marquis Champion stood proudly on the golden chariot, looking at the void before him calmly.

He looked in the direction the Ninth Princess had fled to and smiled. He said softly, "The fish has already taken the bait. What we need to do now is to wait quietly. If we kill some small fish now, the smell of blood will instantly alert the other fish. At that time, the losses would outweigh the gains…"

After that, Marquis Champion shook his head and withdrew his gaze, and returned to the golden chariot.

"How goes the formation setup?"

His indifferent voice was heard.

"Lord Marquis, the five formation masters have already completed ninety percent. I estimate that in two more days, the formation will be completely done!"

When the general heard this, his heart shook and he hurriedly spoke.

For ordinary formations, one master would suffice.

However, Marquis Champion's requirements were too high. He wanted a formation that could kill, trap, and defend at the same time.

The strength of the formation had to be able to withstand the bombardment of hundreds of God Altar Realm elites for a day.

The most difficult part was that it could trap a Nirvana Realm expert.

This level of formation was even more advanced than some sect protection formations.

Even if the five formation masters of Dashang worked together, they wouldn't be able to complete it in a short period of time.

"It's a little slow… One day! I want to see that formation complete in one day!"

Marquis Champion said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yes, Lord!"

Hearing this, the general did not dare to explain anything and quickly agreed respectfully.

He knew his Lord Marquis was playing a very big game.

If the plan succeeded…

All the prodigies of the younger generation of the Dachu Empire would be completely buried in Qingzhou!

After all, Fahui of the Little Thunderclap Temple was too attractive.

With this bait, there was no fear of Dachu's young prodigies not taking interest.

Now, even the Eldest Prince and the Ninth Princess of the Dachu Empire had come to Qingzhou.

It was likely that the other sects' prodigies would arrive soon.

As long as they dared to set foot in Qingzhou, Marquis Champion would be able to keep them all here.

He wanted Qingzhou to become the graveyard of the younger generation of the Dachu Empire!

He wanted to bury the prodigies of the whole empire's younger generation.

If this battle record spread, it would startle more than just Dashang and Dachu.

At that time, the entire Qingzhou would be shaken!

The name of Marquis Champion would also shake the East Barrens and even spread to other regions!

A hundred years later, when Marquis Champion had fully matured, the Dachu Empire would have no successor.

At that time, the Dachu Empire would be like fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered by Marquis Champion at will!

"By the way, Lord Marquis…"

The general seemed to have thought of something. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lord Marquis, I heard a piece of news not long ago…"

"What news?"

"Earl… Earl Pingxi is dead…"

"Oh?"

When Marquis Champion heard this, his expression didn't change. His voice was still calm as he said, "Who killed him?"

"Su Chen from the Great Mystery Sect of Dachu!"

The general's heart sank as he spoke in a deep voice.

Marquis Champion was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said casually, "He's just a nobody, nothing to worry about. When the formation is completed, I will personally kill him. After all, Earl Pingxi was my subordinate. I can't let him die in vain…"

In the eyes of Marquis Champion, his plan was already above everything else.

Before this, no matter what it was, he had to put it aside, even if it was his subordinate Earl Pingxi's death.

"I understand."

The general nodded respectfully and turned to leave.

However, the moment he turned around.

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from the golden chariot, covering the sky.

The previously calm Marquis Champion became enraged to the extreme, seemingly going mad. He turned to look toward Stone City and shouted coldly, "You're really bold!"

As his voice fell, his golden chariot turned into a stream of golden light and leaped into the sky, rushing toward Stone City.

At the same time, in Stone City, the chaos from the daytime had once again given way to calm.

Everything that happened during the day didn't seem to have any effect on the small city as people returned to normal.

In the guest room on the second floor of a restaurant, a young man in a dark golden robe stood tall like a mountain, looking down at everything in the small city like a human emperor.

His eyes flickered with divine light.

His hands were behind his back, and divine light surrounded him. His pitch-black eyes stared blankly out of the window. No one knew what he was thinking.

This person was none other than the Eldest Prince of the Dachu Empire!

"How's the investigation going?" the Eldest Prince asked calmly.

Behind him, an armored guard knelt on one knee with a very respectful expression and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness. Fahui's whereabouts are too mysterious. I'm still looking for him."

"Mm, since Fahui was able to escape from Dashang, he must have some tricks up his sleeves. If you find him, do not attack. You must report to me immediately!"

The Eldest Prince turned around and spoke slowly.

His thoughts were different from others.

The Eldest Prince did not have much enmity toward Fahui, but rather a hint of recruitment.

After all, the enemy's enemy was one's ally!
