You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

A powerful shockwave came from afar, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Zhou Chen stood outside the hall, gazing at the distant sky, his brows slightly furrowed.

Zhou Chen was all too familiar with such commotions in the heavens and earth.

This is because a sage has intervened.

Bai Qi's words made Zhou Chen frown even more.

Bai Qi could sense Zhang Fei's familiar aura, and Zhou Chen could naturally sense it as well.

"It seems Zhang Fei has met his match, and this match is not weak."

Zhou Chen gazed at the roaring sky in the distance, his expression grave.

Zhou Chen was well aware of Zhang Fei's strength. Ordinary saints would not be able to withstand more than a few moves from Zhang Fei, and even those at the peak of the Lesser Saint realm would not be a match for him.

But now, someone is able to fight Zhang Fei to such an extent and cause such a commotion, which is enough to show that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.

Perhaps it is a great sage.

Think of this.

Without hesitation, Zhou Chen immediately issued a decree and then leaped into the air.

"Walk."

Previously, due to the insufficient foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Guan Yu was forced to face the Great Sage of the Imperial Dynasty alone, which ultimately resulted in Guan Yu being seriously injured and almost dying.

This time, the Great Zhou already has a powerful sage like Bai Qi.

Therefore, Zhou Chen would not let Zhang Fei face the enemy alone again, lest something unexpected happen.

As Zhou Chen uttered that word, his figure vanished from the spot.

Bai Qi and Cao Zhengchun followed closely behind, their figures disappearing outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

……

In the endless void.

The great battle raged on, causing the heavens and earth to collapse.

The two figures clashed fiercely, stirring up gusts of wind and darkening the sky.

Each of their collisions shattered and obliterated a large area of ​​void.

Zhang Fei, wielding his eighteen-foot spear, fought fiercely against the Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Although Zhang Fei was at a lower level than the Demon Saint, he fought the Demon Saint to a standstill with his own combat strength, and did not allow the Demon Saint to gain any advantage.

However, Zhang Fei also knew in his heart that continuing to fight like this would be disadvantageous to him.

After all, his cultivation level was different from that of the Great Sage of the Demon Clan, and no matter how strong his combat power was, he could not maintain it for a long time.

not to mention.

There was also a Great Sage and a Lesser Sage at their peak standing nearby, eyeing him covetously.

Meanwhile, Long Xingtian watched the battle between Zhang Fei and the Great Sage of the Demon Clan, his eyes constantly flickering.

As the ruler of a dynasty, Long Xingtian was always confident in his strength and talent. He believed that no one of his rank could compare to him.

But now, seeing Zhang Fei fighting the Great Sage of the Demon Clan, Long Xingtian was shocked.

He couldn't understand why a minor saint from a dynasty could be so powerful.
To be honest, even if he, the emperor of the dynasty, were to fight a great saint of the demon race, it would be impossible for him to fight to such an extent.

Not only was Long Xingtian shocked, but the Great Sage of the Demon Clan, who was fighting Zhang Fei, was also extremely surprised.

Originally, the Great Sage of the Demon Clan thought that dealing with a mere Lesser Sage at the peak would be a piece of cake.
Even if the opponent is a genius, he cannot possibly stop this Great Sage.

But the result was that Zhang Fei not only blocked this Great Sage, but also fought him back and forth, without letting him gain the slightest advantage.

boom!
Another fierce collision.

The powerful force separated the two instantly, leaving them standing opposite each other.

"What a Zhou Dynasty! It's truly unexpected to have a genius like you."

"Judging from your young age, not only have you become a saint, but you have also been able to withstand me for so long. Even among my demon race, there are few who can do that."

"However, no matter how talented you are, you will die today."

The Demon King's gaze towards Zhang Fei was filled with murderous intent.

If such a human genius cannot be eliminated, and is allowed to fully grow, it will definitely not be a good thing for the demon race.

If a minor saint already possesses the fighting power of a great saint, then what will happen when he becomes a great saint or even a saint king?

"Hmph, you demon scoundrels, you want to kill your Grandpa Zhang? Let's see if you have the ability."

Zhang Fei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and secretly glanced around.

Zhang Fei was arrogant, but he was definitely not stupid or reckless.

If it were only the Demon King, Zhang Fei would still have the confidence to fight if he put in all his strength.

However, right now, besides the Great Sage of the Demon Clan, there is another Great Sage and a Lesser Sage at their peak watching from the sidelines.

Zhang Fei knew that if he continued fighting like this, his fate would definitely be death.

Therefore, Zhang Fei secretly observed the situation and decided it was best to retreat first.

Unfortunately, Zhang Fei's subtle actions, no matter how well he hid them, still did not escape the eyes of the Demon Saint and Long Xingtian.

Long Xingtian and the Great Sage of the Demon Court stepped forward together, blocking all of Zhang Fei's escape routes, their eyes fixed on Zhang Fei.

As soon as Zhang Fei showed the slightest sign of escaping, they would immediately stop him.

"Moyan, if you can't handle a mere Saint, we can lend you a hand."

Long Xingtian glanced at the Demon Clan Great Sage and said calmly. These words were clearly meant to humiliate the Demon Clan Great Sage.

Just now, the Demon Clan's Great Sage made a sarcastic remark about Long Xingtian, implying that Long Xingtian, as the ruler of a dynasty, couldn't even control a single dynasty.

Now, it's Long Xingtian's turn to berate the Demon Clan's Great Sage.

"A mere minor saint is easily annihilated by this demon."

The Great Sage of the Demon Clan glanced at Long Xingtian. Although he was referring to Zhang Fei on the surface, he was actually implying that it was about Long Xingtian, the ruler of the dynasty.

After all, Long Xingtian was also at the peak of the Lesser Saint realm, just like Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei's face, however, was gloomy.

Originally, Zhang Fei thought it best to retreat first, but who would have thought that Long Xingtian and the Great Sage of the Demon Court saw through his intentions, blocked his retreat, and locked their eyes on him.

In this situation, let alone escape, even the slightest move of him to retreat could result in him being surrounded and attacked by the three men.

"Am I destined to die here today?"

Zhang Fei's expression shifted constantly as he thought to himself.

at this time.

Sudden.

Zhang Fei sensed something and looked up at the distant horizon.

Not only Zhang Fei, but also the Great Sage of the Demon Clan, the Great Sage of the Demon Court, and Long Xingtian and the others frowned and looked up at the distant horizon.

Several figures appeared on the distant horizon.

"You've already bullied the weak, do you still want to bully the few with your numbers?!"

"Does my Great Zhou really have no one left?"

A faint voice came from the distant horizon, and three figures appeared in everyone's sight.

In the blink of an eye, three figures arrived before the crowd with the speed of shooting stars.

"His Majesty…"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhang Fei's expression clearly changed, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

That's right.

The visitors were none other than Zhou Chen, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, along with Bai Qi and Cao Zhengchun.

Emperor Zhou?

When the Demon Saint and Long Xingtian saw the golden dragon robe on Zhou Chen's body, they guessed his identity and a look of surprise flashed across their faces.

They never expected that Zhou Chen, the emperor of the Great Zhou, would dare to leave the Great Zhou's stronghold and come here.

This is a good thing for them.

Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhang Fei was alright.

Fortunately, they arrived in time.

Otherwise, Zhang Fei might have been surrounded and attacked.

Two Great Saints and one at the peak of Lesser Saint—such strength is not something Zhang Fei can withstand.

After glancing at the Demon Clan Great Sage and the Demon Court Great Sage, Zhou Chen turned his gaze to Long Xingtian; "I have always held the imperial dynasty in high esteem. The ancestors of the imperial dynasty protected the stability of our human race and drove out the alien races. They are the backbone of our human race."

"But now, as the ruler of the dynasty, you have actually sided with the foreign races and helped them slaughter my human elites. I am very disappointed in you and in the dynasty."

Zhou Chen looked at Long Xingtian and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Long Xingtian sneered, "Ha, you, the emperor of a dynasty, dare to address me as 'I' and point fingers at me?"

"Your Great Zhou disregarded the imperial court's orders, arbitrarily provoked a war, and conquered the Nine Dynasties. How many soldiers of the Nine Dynasties died tragically at the hands of your Great Zhou?"

"Your Great Zhou also annihilated the sect leaders and several elders of the Ziyang Sect and Qingyun Sect, two of the four major sects, and caused my dynasty to lose a million troops. Even my dynasty's Great Sage Ancestor and two Saint-level experts perished at the hands of your Great Zhou."

"If anyone should be disappointed, it should be me. You are not worthy to say so. Your Great Zhou is the culprit behind all this."

Long Xingtian said sternly, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Zhou Chen.

If it weren't for the Great Zhou Dynasty, he wouldn't have ended up like this, feigning friendship with the Demon Clan and the Demon Court, leading to national turmoil and the loss of public support.

If it weren't for the Great Zhou Dynasty, his royal family's Great Sage Ancestor and two Sages would not have perished, and his dynasty's strength would not have weakened to such an extent that he was powerless to contend with the Demon Clan and the Demon Court, and could only choose to compromise.

The culprit behind all of this is the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Hearing Long Xingtian's words, Zhou Chen shook his head and said nothing more.

In Zhou Chen's view, such arguments were meaningless.

As an emperor, Zhou Chen knew that there was nothing wrong with Long Xingtian's actions, because Long Xingtian was acting from the perspective of the dynasty and considering the interests of his own dynasty.

As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Chen naturally stood on the side of the Great Zhou and considered its interests.

Whether it's a dynasty or the Great Zhou, they are just standing at different angles and with different positions.

In terms of right and wrong, neither of them is wrong.

However, associating with demons and other alien races like the Demon Court is a matter of principle.
If it were Zhou Chen, he would never have made such a compromise or choice.

Zhou Chen stopped talking to Long Xingtian and turned to look at the two Great Saints from the Demon Clan and the Demon Court; "You Demon Clan and the Demon Court dare to wreak havoc on my Great Zhou, you are really courting death."

“My Great Zhou is not the Azure Dragon Dynasty, nor is it a place where you demons and monsters can act recklessly.”

Zhou Chen stared coldly at the Demon Clan's Great Sage and the Demon Court's Great Sage.

Although the beasts at the border were stopped, the turmoil in Yanzhou and the other nine provinces was basically stabilized.

However, it still had a significant impact on the Great Zhou Dynasty, causing it to lose a considerable amount of strength. (End of Chapter)
