My gorgeous wife Chapter 2257 - 2225: Starry Sky River of Blood (Part 18)

The battle reached a stalemate.

Overall, however, the Starry Universe side was at a disadvantage.

Firstly, no one knew how long Behemoth’s berserk state could last.

Secondly, Suan Tian finally couldn’t hold out any longer, finding it hard to dodge the enemy’s desperate attacks.

And as for the Spiritual Treasure side, the situation was even more dire.

Although Spiritual Treasure had reached the Palm Realm, with the assistance of the Heavenly Venerable Qinglong and Ning Wangyang’s two thousand Nether Army, the disparity between Palm Realms was clearly not that simple.

Even a small gap from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Boundary put Spiritual Treasure and others at a comprehensive disadvantage, being firmly suppressed by the Powerhouses of the Yu Clan, with the danger of falling at any moment.

So far, several hundred out of the two thousand of the Nether Army had fallen in battle.

On the other side, the battle between the Demon Ancestor and the Mechanical Civilization Palm Realm, influenced by this side, also became a deadlock, and who would ultimately win or die remained unknown.

Demon Emperor Sargeras was not idle either, although he couldn’t contribute much in the direct fight with the Palm Realm, he managed to occasionally launch sneak attacks on the powerhouses of the Mechanical Civilization. But clearly, he didn’t often get such opportunities.

Because breaking into this level of realm was exceedingly difficult, nearly impossible to shatter the almost indestructible pseudo-universe space.

"Bang!!"

In the void, Suan Tian was blasted away, half his body shattered, yet in the battle until now, he finally managed to strike a powerful soul tribe warrior with a trace-through-the-body copper coin attack.

Six gleaming golden coins penetrated the soul tribe warrior’s body, leaving six large holes, front to back, on the soul tribe warrior’s form.

This was not a mere physical injury; indeed, the soul tribe, being called soul tribe, didn’t care much for the physical body, these six copper coins penetrated everything, including the soul tribe warrior’s body and Divine Soul.

This was a Taoist injury!

Repairing a Taoist injury was much harder than normal injuries.

Basically, it is extremely difficult to achieve without Palms Realm level Pills.

Of course, Suan Tian was also suffering from a Taoist injury.

"Looks like you won’t last much longer," the soul tribe warrior sneered at Suan Tian, "Stop resisting, obediently become my soul slave, I assure you, under my command, you will definitely exert even greater power in the future."

"Screw you!"

Suan Tian spat out a mouthful of red saliva, "I was never a combatant. If not for that brat dragging me into this as a shield, you think I would be here wasting time with you? I play with my mind, with tactics, do you understand tactics?"

"Tactics?"

The soul tribe warrior couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Suan Tian’s words.

"Why haven’t your tactics worked then? How come your tactics haven’t impacted me at all?"

Suan Tian nearly cursed out loud.

In the one ancient war, if it wasn’t for him, the final Four Realms battle wouldn’t have ended so hastily. Given the circumstances back then, the Four Realms might have continued to fight to the death, but faced with one-on-one situations, his luck was just poor, as a Daoist who didn’t like fighting and killing.

He excelled in the art of calculation, but wasn’t particularly outstanding in battle.

Bullying those with lower realms was fine, but if it was a head-on clash with someone of the same level, he was somewhat at a disadvantage.

"Divine Skill—Heavenly Fixation Technique!"

Suan Tian once again threw money, causing the soul tribe warrior to pause slightly, taking advantage of this gap to swiftly flee.

The soul tribe warrior, after unraveling the Divine Skill, sneered: "Let’s see how far you can run!"

Ahead, Suan Tian weighed his money pouch, his face filled with pain, these coins weren’t ordinary coins, each one was a powerful magic treasure he painstakingly crafted, but now he knew he couldn’t be stingy, otherwise, even the ancient war couldn’t do him in, he might fall into that old ghost’s hands today.

Halfway through his escape, seeing the soul tribe strongman who was faster than himself catching up, Suan Tian’s eyes suddenly sparkled with brilliance, and he loudly called out: "Demon Ancestor, you’re just in time!"

The soul tribe warrior’s heart jumped. He had seen with his own eyes the power of that Demon Ancestor, tough enough that only the Mechanical Civilization’s iron lumps could tackle it. He hadn’t even thought of contending with it, yet, in such a short time, was the iron lump of the Mechanical Civilization taken down?

More terrifyingly, he hadn’t sensed anything from behind, could the other side have silently come up right behind him?

Without thinking, he instantly gathered his defenses behind him and instinctively turned to check.

However, he saw that there was nothing behind him.

Damn it!

Turning his head back, he didn’t even need to check to know the guy had gotten away again.

He normally wouldn’t fall for such a trick, but caution was paramount, he wasn’t prepared to lose his life over a small oversight.

What he didn’t expect was that such a dignified Palm Realm level powerhouse as Suan Tian would resort to such petty and boring tactics.

Which made him feel even more foolish for falling for it.

"I will surely kill you!!" the soul tribe warrior’s enraged roar echoed through the starry sky, as he frantically pursued Suan Tian.

During his escape, Suan Tian caught sight of another battlefront.

It was the battlefield where Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor led numerous powerhouses to besiege a Middle Stage of Heaven-Earth Realm powerhouse.

Compared to their side, that battlefield was even more terrifying and perilous.

Though Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor was strong, he was only newly entered into the Heaven-Earth Realm. Even with so many on his side, they were no match for that Middle Stage Heaven-Earth Realm opponent; Ning Wangyang, Heavenly Venerable Qinglong, and Spiritual Treasure himself were all severely injured, and the two thousand Black Armors suffered heavy casualties.

"They’re fighting with their lives! What on earth is that kid Li Chen thinking?!" Suan Tian’s heart grew anxious.

Yet at this crucial moment, Li Chen was absent from the battlefield, and even Suan Tian couldn’t figure out where Li Chen had gone.

Because any calculations regarding Li Chen resulted in a blank.

He couldn’t calculate Li Chen!

Suddenly, Suan Tian turned his head aggressively, eyes widened with anger, yelling: "Brat, you finally showed up, where have you been hiding?!"

The soul tribe warrior was unmoved, fooled once, he’d refuse to be the fool a second time, moreover, as before, his Divine Sense detected nothing behind him.

But soon after, the soul tribe warrior chasing Suan Tian heard an unpleasant sound, or rather, two sounds.

"Crack!"

The sound of his pseudo-universe being shattered by a powerful external force.

"Ssss!!"

The sound of his body being torn apart.

A blood-red blade emerged from his chest.
