Inside the spacious and empty palace, it was extremely quiet.
On the throne, Yan Yong Lie was in a daze. In just a few days, his hair had grown white, wrinkles had grown all over his face, even his eye had become muddy.
Da Fu stood by the side, seeing his Majesty, his heart became very sour. Out of the King Bear martial artists, he was the weakest, and he never got the chance to guard his Majesty in the rotations. But, the other King Bear Martial artists were all sent out by His Majesty to attack Andromeda Constellation. Only him, the weakest, was left to stay by his side.
Personally looking at his Majesty, Da Fu watched him grow older by the day. For the sake of stabilizing the Star power of Ursa Major Constellation, his Majesty had burnt his life force. Who would had thought that, the old man seated on the throne, was the man who brought Ursa Major Constellation up to be comparable to the 10 Equatorial Palace Halls Constellations, the brave and heroic famous Bear King!
Da Fu’s respect for His Majesty stemmed deep from his heart.
Yan Yong Lie’s finger on the armrest moved slightly, as though he was awoken from his dream: “Da Fu, what news have there been?”
Da Fu held back the pain in his heart and replied respectfully: “Tang Tian and his two friends have already entered Ursa Major Constellation, and today, they will meet Mister Shao De.”
“Oh, then I can rest easy.” Yan Yong Lie’s face exposed a warmth look: “Although Ah De and I rarely meet and have a lack of communication, but he definitely will not sit by the fence.”
Da Fu immediately replied: “Your majesty is brilliant, with Mister Shao De, Tang Tian and his men will not be able to move forward.”
“Not so easy.” Yan Yong Lie’s old face suddenly congealed slightly: “Tang Tian and his men will be able to spot this opportunity, and they will definitely make a move on us. We have nowhere to retreat to, so why should they?”
Da Fu replied confidently: “With the few Masters around, there will definitely be no problem!”
“I hope they can stop Lupus Army.” Yan Yong Lie nodded his head: “But the crucial point of this battle now is Master Tu. The earlier they can obtain Orion Constellation, the earlier is it to our advantage. Are there any reports from the general?”
“General has already led the army to surround Orion Palace, but the enemy’s defences are strong, Grizzly Bear Army is unable to breakthrough, Honorable Martial Group is also attacking with everything they have, and both sides have lost a lot. And…” Da Fu’s face exposed some worry.
Yan Yong Lie’s expression turned stern, and asked: “And what?”
Da Fu could only speak the truth: “Orion Constellation has another saint level martial artist Li Dang, he appeared at Orion Palace. And has killed many from our side.”
What caused Da Fu to be surprised, was that his Majesty was not surprised, but instead exposed a laugh.
“Hahahah! Lion King finally cannot help but get involved?” Yan Yong Lie’s muddy eyes exposed a strange light: “To be able to make the Lion King to take action, that is truly something to anticipate. Li Dang got a favor from Lei Ang in the past, and is currently returning the favor.”
Yan Yong Lie muttered to himself: “Li Dang is straightforward and upright, to use his life to repay the favor, he is truly a favourable man.”
He suddenly asked: “How long more, for our first wave of martial artists to enter Orion Constellation?”
“According to their journey, tomorrow morning, the first wave of martial artists are able to step into Orion Constellation.” Da Fu immediately replied: “The Star Door is under the control of Honorable Martial Group. But the location is roughly 20 days away from Orion Palace.”
“Where is Ah Ze?” Yan Yong Lie suddenly asked.
Da Fu immediately replied: “Prince Ze is currently actively preparing.”
Yan Ze was the second in line successor, compared to Yan Tu, regardless of it was his spirit or heart, or his strength, he was far lacking, and was not liked by Yan Yong Lie.
Yan Yong Lie snorted: “With his standard, what use does he have.”
Da Fu did not dare reply.
Yan Yong Lie suddenly spoke: “Bring Ah Ze, follow the latest wave of martial artists, and find Master Tu at Orion Constellation.”
Da Fu immediately panicked: “Your Majesty!”
For his majesty to send everyone out and be alone, did that mean….
“Get up.” Yan Yong Lie’s tone was calm: “You guys might not have the chance to return to Ursa Major Constellation. Tang Tian is unfathomable, and until now I cannot comprehend, how he was able to plunder the star power of Desolate Bear Bone. Thinking about it, was the only mistake that I made, was that I did not expect for Andromeda Constellation to actually have a fierce beast hidden.”
“Whether or not Ah De can hold them, I am suddenly unsure of it.” Yan Yong Lie’s gaze was suddenly far out, muttering: “I do not know how powerful Tang Tian is, how much power his subordinates have. So if they backstabbed me, how can they fail?”
“Your majesty, the situation is not that bad!” Da Fu painfully persuaded.
Yan Yong Lie seemed as though he did not hear that, and continued talking: “A wild beast, will inevitably hurt people. Just now, I was suddenly enlightened, we have underestimated other people too much, even the position I was in previously, was still looking down on them. You go and bring Ah Ze to find Master Tu. Only Master Tu is able to attack the Palace, and then Orion Constellation will be in our pockets. Orion Constellation is in a strategic location, with Ah Ze’s ability, they will not be able to hold on. But Honorable Martial Group will definitely not sit idly, they will continue to aid, and with Master Tu’s ability, they will be able to stand firm.”
The more Da Fu listened, the more unhappy he became, his voice started to contain traces of sadness: “Then why not Your Majesty come with us! We will go to Orion Constellation together, and make a comeback!”
Yan Yong Lie shook his head: “I need to stay in this palace and stabilize the Star Power. Without it, everyone will crumble.”
“Your Majesty!” Da Fu cried.
Yan Yong Lie laughed: “You should be happy for me. As the leader, to be able to die in my own palace in such a way, as compared to dying on a bed, I wonder how strong a death is that!”
Yan Yong Lie slowly stood up, his tone was sonorous as his hair flew around: “I need to inform the martial artists of my Ursa Major Constellation, although I am unable to help them request for another saint level martial artist, but, I, Yan Yong Lie, their King, will forever be fighting alongside them! Forever dying with them!”
The Head of the King Bear on his head suddenly lit up with a dazzling light aura, causing a light pillar to soar into the sky, straight into the heavens.
Orion Palace.
Tu Qing stopped for awhile, raised his head to look. The Ursa Major Constellation in the air above his head suddenly lit up, dropped light circles like snow. The light auras dropped onto their treasures.
The parties that were engaged in battle all stopped.
Everyone looked above their heads, as they understood what that meant, it was the combustion of the constellation. That meant the Master of the constellation had given his life, the saint treasure had given up on its martial spirit, and started to combust the constellation.
Ursa Major Constellation will burn for three months, and in the three months, the power of Ursa Major Constellation treasures will greatly increase.
The Master was dead.
Tu Qing looked at Ursa Major Constellation in the sky with a dazed look, tears started to fall uncontrollably.
Your Majesty, are you trying to tell us that we have no way back?
Your Majesty, are you trying to tell us, you are fighting alongside us?
Your Majesty, are you trying to tell us, you want to win, even if you have to sacrifice your life?
Tu Qing wiped the tears off, raising the Demonic Bear Secret Claw in his hand high up, the look in his eyes turning into resoluted firmness.
Your Majesty, Victory shall belong to you!
Tu Qing bellowed: “KILL!”
“KILL!”
Grizzly Bear Army shouted in unison.
Orion Palace fell in the day.
Crane’s palm heated up, Crane Sword flew out, until about 20 m before stabilizing. Crane was secretly surprised, Shao De had not even taken out his blade, and actually made them be in such a difficult situation.
Shao De was surprised: “Rumors say that although Prince Crane did not learn from the Empress, but Crane Sect Martial techniques, your attainments are profound, and to witness it today, you truly live up to the rumors.”
He was secretly surprised, and was not faking, the blade he had released earlier had killing intent, and he did not give mercy. He did not expect Crane to actually take it head on, which surprised him. To reach a level such as his, having a blade or not did not make much of a difference.
For Crane to be able to take the attack, it meant that he was not weak at all.
“Master Shao, has overpraised me.” Crane neither servilely or overbearingly.
Shao De’s look swept across the three of them, a fond affection growing in his heart, he said: “if the three of you are willing to accompany this old man to sit here and talk for a month, this old one is willing bestow his teachings, although it is shallow, but I believe it would benefit you three little brothers.”
Crane shook his head: “Thank You Master Shao, I wait for little blessings, I am unable to accept it.”
Shao De’s face darkened: “This old one found some joy with you all, and does not wish for you all to die.”
Just then, a light pillar suddenly shone high into the sky, Shao De’s face became shocked, as he turned to look.
“We are all so old, and yet you are still so ambitious, even throwing away your life.” Shao De sighed: “I never thought that, me coming out would still be unable to save you. Since it is so, I will offer these three little kids brains to you.”
Shao De’s gaze became indifferent: “The three of you, come fight me together.”
“Wait a minute!” Tang Tian suddenly jumped up, grinding his fist with his palm: “Hey, the two of you went up already, I haven’t challenged him yet!”
Shao De’s mood was bad, he looked over to Tang Tian, his gaze filled with Killing intent.
Tang Tian did not care at all, his eyes full of passion as he looked at Shao De.
Saint level martial artist, he is a saint level martial artist, is this my first time challenging a saint? So exciting….
“Here I come!”
Tang Tian shouted, his feet suddenly bursting with strength, he pounced towards Shao De.
Shao De squinted his eyes, Tang Tian’s burst was the most fundamental foot technique, but its speed was extremely fast. No, it’s speed, definitely exceeds that of fundamental foot techniques!
Rushing up halfway, Tang Tian managed to gather enough strength, and shot out his fist.
Shao De squinted his eyes again, fundamental fist techniques!
Tang Tian’s fist appeared in his eyes, full of loopholes, but…..
Shao De’s body retreat, it was the first time Shao De had retreated.
Bang!
The transparent air ripple exploded right in front of Shao De. Shao De quickly made some judgements.
Such a fast fist! Such a heavy fist!
At the same time, his eyes squinted again, his body retreated once again.
Bang bang bang!
A series of compressed air ripples pursued after him, all of them exploding out in concentration, forming one sound.
Such fast frequency!
Shao De’s heart froze, the simple fundamental fist technique, under such quick frequency, caused him to retreat continuously.
A sharp air flow swept past Shao De’s face.
Suddenly, Shao De’s gaze congealed.
A strand of hair at his forehead, split into two.
