Chapter 448: Head-on Confrontation_2
The Martial Hall has begun its advance.
Everyone inside the hall immediately assumed a solemn expression, Taiyi Hongyun looked at Chu Zheng beside him and said gravely, "Chu Immortal Monarch, time is running short, can you get to the point now?"
As the words fell, the three Immortal Monarchs and those solemn-faced Immortal Kings at the foot of the Jade Steps, all eyes suddenly focused on Chu Zheng.
Everyone knew very well, in face of a new Martial Emperor among five Divine Martial Heavenly Generals, and the Martial Hall army surging like a blood-colored torrent, their strength as Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Kings seemed too thin against absolute realm crushing and a disadvantage in numbers.
Many Immortal Kings, Immortal Monarchs, and even Immortal Emperors had died in the previous breach of the Five Directions Star Sky by the Martial Hall, while they were very likely to follow the same fate.
The one who could truly become the stabilizer, possibly altering the battle, was this recently arrived, unfathomably powerful Chu Immortal Monarch!
Among this line of defense, Chu Zheng currently has the strongest combat force, whether this battle can withstand, eighty to ninety percent of the responsibility will fall on Chu Zheng's shoulders.
Chu Zheng stared at the star map before him, his eyes deep as the ocean.
Retreating without fighting, under the Immortal Alliance Law, is also a capital offense, this order from the Punishment Authority might have someone secretly fueling the fire, if he retreats without fighting, it still gives someone within the Immortal Alliance an excuse to kill him.
The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor previously promised that there would be two Great Immortal Emperors coming to escort him, but now it clearly can't wait any longer.
Since there is no way to avoid it, at this moment, he must hold on regardless.
Having made his decision, Chu Zheng's gaze was like two unsheathed peerless swords, stabbing directly at the core of the swirling blood light on the star map as he slowly spoke:
"On my way here, I've already seen, under this starry sky, apart from some weak arrays, there is no defense left, in that case, we can only actively strike when the Martial Hall's vanguard is yet to stand firm…"
He extended a finger, pointing at the source of the spreading blood light on the star map:
"Cut off their head!"
Even Taiyi Hongfeng was momentarily shocked by Chu Zheng's words, not passive defense, nor gradual depletion, but attacking to defend, on the most dangerous blade, directly targeting the enemy commander's head.
This was no longer mere boldness, but an almost reckless all-or-nothing gamble, it was risking life.
"Time waits for no one."
Chu Zheng took a deep breath, his gaze slightly cold: "I ask all of you to follow me to defeat the enemy."
He had been hiding for too long, and the pent-up frustration from the beginning in Cangyun Realm had been pressing at his throat, and now he couldn't hold back any longer.
In the contest of paths, it was nothing but life and death.
The victor lives, the defeated dies, he may not end up being the loser.
Taiyi Hongfeng's eyes glowed red like blood, intense Thunder Light exploded at his eyes without any hesitation, he suddenly turned around, shouting harshly to the Immortal Kings below who were still bewildered, voice echoing like thunder from the Nine Heavens:
"Generals, heed my command, form the array, meet the enemy!"
"Yes!"
Below the Jade Steps, a group of Immortal Kings bent forward in unison, cultivation at this stage, none would lack competitive spirit or those three parts courage of blood.
Previously in the battle with the fracturing Boundary and the invasion of Evil Demons, they had withstood it, and now they would again.
Chu Zheng said no more, his five fingers joined like a blade, tearing open the void before him.
In the next instant, his figure transformed into a shadow undetectable by divine sense, stepping into the forefront of the icy starry battlefield, followed closely by three Immortal Monarchs including Taiyi Hongfeng.
As soon as the four landed, they were met by a nauseating thickness of blood scent and a raging tide of energy, glaring Immortal Light and scarlet blood flames like two frenzied dragons, tearing at each other, crashing through the shattered Star Sea!
Everywhere they looked was a hellish scene, countless Martial Cultivators clad in Battle Armor charging densely at the teetering Immortal Path defense line, the hastily constructed Defense Laws of the Immortal Path Cultivators were easily torn like thin paper!
The Warships scattered in the Star Sea were pierced by giant spears formed of solidified blood flames, exploding instantly into a rain of fire engulfing the sky!
This starry sky was being devoured, inch by inch, stained red by the blood fire of the Martial Hall.
Chu Zheng's gaze didn't linger a bit, ignoring the brutal meat grinder battlefield, his deep pupils emitting a faint golden glow, like two swords piercing through the void, instantly locked onto the five towering figures on the other side of the starry sky, standing like stabilizers.
Five Divine Martial Heavenly Generals!
They were not charging ahead but stood like five peaks floating on the blood sea, clad in Dark Gold Heavy Armor of various forms yet all exuding terrifying murderous aura, the blood energy surging and boiling around them, forming visible Blood-colored Gang Flame, twisting the surrounding space-time.
The four stood separately on each side, their breaths ferocious as if ancient fierce beasts ready to devour whoever came close, just standing there, the immense pressure they emitted caused the entire Star Domain to freeze.
The one in the center, his aura like an abyss and vast sea, unfathomable, wearing a helmet and face mask, the exposed half of his face, hard-lined like iron stone.
He seemed to have sensed Chu Zheng's gaze penetrating the battlefield, slightly raised his head, his pupils were purely dark silver, cold and indifferent, as if a deity overlooking ants, without any emotional ripple.
The few Divine Martial Heavenly Generals were not in a hurry to make a move, as if awaiting something, or perhaps the Immortal Path's resistance before them was not yet worth their personal action.
The Spiritual Eye quickly returned their information, bringing back a pleasing judgment, saying they were not undefeatable.
Chu Zheng didn't speak, uttered not a word, the moment he stepped onto this starry battlefield, he had locked on to his target.
