Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 427 - 427 413 The Final Battle

Chapter 427: Chapter 413: The Final Battle Chapter 427: Chapter 413: The Final Battle Now, they needed to wait, to rest, to let Qiao Fanfeng and his team reach the designated location. This place was a valley with a large patch of grassland in the middle, bereft of too many trees. It was like the gate of the Immortal City, a natural battlefield perfect for a showdown. Some animals leisurely grazed on the fresh grass.

Yet Ye Chen knew that an impending grand battle was on the horizon.

It was something they had to face eventually. Even the air seemed heavy with the oppressive anticipation of the imminent bloodshed.

This was the calm before the storm.

Yu Yun too fell silent. She said, “Actually, I’ve become much more obedient now. I am not as naughty as I used to be.”

Ye Chen looked at her and said, “I hope you’re not about to tell me that all this is because of me.”

“What’s wrong if it’s because of you?” Yu Yun countered.

“Well, you’re bound to be disappointed then. You should do this for somebody else.”

“I would like to make a significant contribution to the Immortal and Demon realms as well.”

“Hmm, I see that. I feel that.”

“So you’re not touched in the slightest.”

“I have no such feelings right now. I’ve also realized that I have lost interest in women.”

“So, losing my sister and then Ling’er has caused you to lose interest in women altogether?” Yu Yun jested.

“You can keep piercing my heart. It’s not like these few cuts would make any difference.”

“Not like it makes a difference. You’re just an eighteen-year-old lad with a bright future ahead. And you’ve already lost interest? You still have eighty years left; how do you plan on living?”

“I don’t know. I feel like I’m already a hundred years old, almost senile,” Ye Chen responded.

“If you’re already a hundred years old, why don’t you just go find a granny for yourself?”

Ye Chen chuckled, “I have no interest whatsoever, so why should I seek out a granny?”

“Because only a granny can give you the proper advice.”

“I believe you need advice more than me right now. Don’t get yourself into deeper trouble and then claim I was at fault. I won’t take responsibility.”

“Have you ever taken any responsibility?”

Ye Chen tossed aside the chicken bone he was holding in his hand. Few birds fluttered hither and thither among the tree branches as a gust of wind passed by.

Ye Chen closed his eyes, wishing to rest for a bit. He anticipated that today was going to be a long day. He might not even get to sleep tonight.

That’s when Yu Yun finally left him by himself.

Yu Yun cautioned, “Be careful, you might end up getting captured by a Fox Demon.”

“Actually, I would love to see what a Fox Demon looks like. I’ve always heard that they’re extraordinarily beautiful, yet I’ve never seen one in person. Being able to witness one before I die will indeed be satisfying,” retorted Ye Chen.

“It’s best if they eat your heart.”

“I don’t mind. The better if they eat it,” responded Ye Chen.

“They won’t even leave your bones behind.”

Under the organization of Guo Mingyu, the prominent leaders were assembled in half an hour. Though Qiao Fanfeng didn’t join as he was in another valley, Guan Yi did.

Ye Chen and Jiang Zhuge joined as well.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense as everyone was aware that an imminent battle was nigh.

Guan Yi said, “Ye Chen, Brother Qiao won’t be coming. He asked me to come in his stead. If there’s anything you need, just let me know— I’ll relay your word to him in detail.”

Ye Chen nodded on hearing this.

Guo Mingyu spoke up, “Well, everyone who should be here is here. Alliance Leader, it’s your call now.”

Ye Chen glanced around and said, “Let’s cut to the chase then. The Dragon Slaying Clan is already positioned at the designated spot we planned out earlier. Elder Qiao and his team have also returned. I presume they’ve got the hint and are expecting that we’re preparing for a decisive battle.”

Fang Ziren suggested, “Perfect. We can immediately coordinate with our men on the mountainside and surround them.”

“There are still things needed to be done,” Ye Chen cut him off. “Even though they have arrived at the designated spot, our encirclement isn’t fully established yet so Jiang Ouyang won’t come down the mountain too soon.”

“We have to engage the Dragon Clan in battle to establish a semi-circle ambush. It’s only after its creation that we can signal Jiang Ouyang and his team to descend and complete the total encirclement.”

“Right. At the end of the day, we shouldn’t scare them off,” Fang Ziren agreed.

“That’s a crucial point. It’s vital if we can perfectly execute this semi-circle ambush, pushing the Dragon Slaying Clan towards the front. It would facilitate our collaboration with the forces descending from the mountain, thereby sealing off the exit route using the mountain behind us. Be aware that Dragon Slaying Clan may detect our motive during this process, so we need to tread cautiously.”

Guan Yi added, “Indeed, the formation of the encirclement will need time. Mutant Winged Dragon is cunning, and his underlings aren’t simple characters, either. Whether our movements will tip them off is uncertain.”

“Yes, that’s what I’m talking about. Whether they will see it or not, I don’t know. Of course, I hope they don’t find out too soon,” said Ye Chen.

Guo Mingyu replied, “We can speed up.”

“I wish we could, but the more hurried we are, the more obvious it becomes. Going too slow isn’t good either. We can only do our best, hoping to trap them here and completely defeat them. It all depends on fate. As for what we can do now, that’s it. If something unusual does happen, we’ll adjust our plan,” said Ye Chen.

Guo Mingyu agreed, “I am with Ye Chen on this.”

“Even with the encirclement, I don’t know if we can completely finish them off. It won’t be easy. After all, the Mutant Winged Dragon is battle-hardened and very cunning.”

Guan Yi suggested, “Even if we only seriously injure them, it’s still worthwhile.”

“Yes, my plan is that if something unexpected happens, we can seize the advantage and cross Fish Scale Valley before they can react. That’s our overall strategy,” said Ye Chen.

Fang Ziren stated, “We believe we can succeed.”

“Hmm, does anyone else have any suggestions?”

They all shook their heads, “We have no objections.”

“Alright then, Elder Guo, please explain to them. When it’s time, how we will surround them, the positions everyone needs to guard, and the points each one needs to take responsibility for.”

“Understood, leave that to me. I will explain it clearly to them,” Guo Mingyu replied.

Ye Chen quickly left.

Jiang Zhuge came over too, “They are in the forest, waiting for us to arrive.”

“Prepare to go,” Ye Chen ordered.

“I’ve been waiting for so long, today, at last, we can avenge those who died for Wasteland City,” Li Mo vowed.

“Don’t think about that, focus on our own tasks,” cautioned Ye Chen.

“Rest assured, I will defend my position.”

“Okay, you all prepare as well, be careful everyone, today is sure to be a tough fight.”

…

In the forest on the opposite side, the Mutant Winged Dragon was waiting. Slaughter Saint arrived, briefing him on Qiao Fanfeng’s and Ye Chen’s positions, “They are here, it seems they want to battle with us.”

“Great, we were hoping for that. Always hiding like shy maidens, it’s not good,” said Jing Po.

The Slaughter Saint continued, “They are in this forest.”

The Mutant Winged Dragon looked around; Mituom Monk and Zen Master had already gone to prepare and deploy more people, waiting ahead.

The sun began to lean towards the west.

But the tension in the air was palpable.

The Mutant Winged Dragon said with some concern, “Slaughter Saint, you must be alert, I don’t know if that boy is planning something. Keep a good watch.”

“Mm, don’t worry, we’re all keeping an eye on him,” responded Slaughter Saint. It was unusual to see the Dragon so uneasy.

“Have all their people from the mountain come out?” asked the Dragon.

“They’re all out, don’t worry, Meng Xiuluo leads a group in the forest. If they had anyone hiding in there, we would have caught them by now. We won’t let them hide anyone in the forest,” assured Slaughter Saint.

“We can completely trust Meng Xiuluo’s work, there won’t be any problems,” Jing Po reassured.

The Mutant Winged Dragon hadn’t expected the people of the Immortal-Demon Domain to suddenly decide to fight them. He could only think that they had run out of escape routes, that war was inevitable, sooner or later. A battle begun in desperation.

The Dragon waved his hand, “Prepare, let’s go.”

After Guan Yi returned, he immediately told Qiao Fanfeng and the others about Ye Chen’s plan, as well as the arrangements and plans made by Ye Chen and Guo Mingyu.

Not long after, they saw the Dragon’s people emerging from the forest onto the plain. They seemed impatient, waiting for the people of the Immortal-Demon Domain to appear.

Ye Chen, perched on the top of the mountain, also saw this. He turned to Yu Yun behind him, “Yu Yun, you should stay here.”

“Are you underestimating me?”

“No, I’m not underestimating you. I know how capable you are. But I have no control over what’s to come, so it’s better if you don’t go down,” reasoned Ye Chen.

Yu Yun pouted.

“I’m afraid I won’t know how to explain it to your sister later, so why don’t you stay behind and help with the overall command?”

“Understood,” Yu Yun retorted, but she appreciated his concern.

“That’s good.”
