Chapter 558: Chapter 465 Alarming Statements + Chapter 466 Heart Winning Heart_3

Being within a large army is safer after all.

"I will need the General’s protection then. When victory is achieved, I shall present a generous gift and surely will not disappoint the General."

Princess Shen Bi lowered her head, thought for a moment, and finally mustered the courage, her eyes flickering as she spoke.

"Oh..."

Yan Bing and Fang Sheng both turned their heads simultaneously.

Especially Yan Bing, who had never heard the Little Princess make such a promise in the previous instances.

If it had been any ordinary little girl speaking like this,

Yan Bing would have thought she was desperate, trying her best to find someone to rely on.

However, this was a trial level, and every change was not without cause.

In a way, this was a true event that was once part of the long river of history, a highly critical turning point.

Although the information provided by the Demon Subduing Trial was incomplete, from this series of levels and gains, one could guess that each level represented a key node of past failures.

In the previous level, the Four Seas Manor Master and Lady Feng Jiu, had they not been killed, could have possibly rallied various heroes through Four Seas Manor once Lady Feng Jiu recovered from her injuries, potentially triggering a major event.

And the current struggle between King Ying and King Liang was clearly an intense process.

If King Ying were to fall, and his forces scattered, King Liang’s power could suddenly rise, possibly having a startling impact on the overall situation.

Every level constituted a regret.

Regret that they had not discovered and disrupted the enemy’s schemes beforehand, leading to a crushing defeat, resulting in the total collapse of the Prison Subduing Demon Sect...

Then, they completely lost this world.

The Subduing Demon Order not only selected inheritors but also retraced critical historical points to see if someone could find a breakthrough and make a comeback.

It was uncertain whether changing events within this trial could alter an already established reality.

The group exchanged glances.

Clearly, they all considered this possibility.

Especially Yan Bing, whose usually lifeless and chilly eyes suddenly glimmered with hope.

She suddenly thought, since the Little Princess spoke so solemnly of rewarding them afterward, the reward might be astonishingly significant.

Perhaps, if they could clear this level, they could genuinely break free from their constraints and regain vitality.

Zhou Ping’an gently rubbed Princess Shen Bi’s head, sincerely promising to fulfill her request before turning to Yan Bing, curiously asking, "I suppose, Miss Yan joining our side this time, striving to pass the trial, isn’t really out of trust in us but rather a desperate gamble, seeking either success or martyrdom?"

"That’s right, if I can’t get through this level, I might die."

Yan Bing candidly admitted.

"Only the Heavenly Wisdom Divine Light shining and elevating my talents to the next level will suffice..."

"Is the enemy that strong?"

"Very strong... I would need to obtain the next level of cultivation methods from the Prison Suppressing Demon Subdue Scripture to boost my power quickly enough to confront the enemy across realms, otherwise, there might be a risk of total annihilation..."

Zhou Ping’an was deeply moved.

This situation closely resembled the dire straits he himself faced.

If he couldn’t clear the level quickly, continuing to delay without quickly resolving Cui Guangling in Guangyun County, allowing him to keep the Formation Map erected within the city might lead to endless complications and the loss of the overall advantage...

The lead he had built up initially would be utterly wasted.

Of course, he considered exploiting his relationship with the Southeastern Town Defense Commander, Chu Wenli, to shamelessly request powerful bombs from modern society.

But firstly, if the bomb is too weak, it would be ineffective.

It would probably just tickle the Blood Spirit Child.

For breaking formations, it would actually be useless since the formation was a Virtual Array, and there was no formation disk or foundation.

He had tested it; the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array was based on the Myriad Spirits Blood Sword. Unless the sword was destroyed, the formation could not be extinguished; it was essentially just an envelope of blood mist.

What kind of powerful bomb would be needed to destroy that sword, especially when the sword could shatter and repair itself anytime, being of a magical treasure grade. Could it really be blown up?

Not to mention using a city-level destructive taboo weapon, whether it could still hurt the Blood Godchild while he burrowed underground.

There was the issue of using a weapon so alien to this world, which might invite prying eyes, thus leading to even more troublesome enemies appearing...

This risk was utterly unnecessary.

Moreover, according to the information Zhou Ping’an had obtained, the so-called "black bullets," preserved as the ultimate weapon in modern society, posed no significant threat to King-level monsters.

Cui Guangyun’s strength was obviously above that of King-level monsters. When sensing danger, he would dive into the ground, and certainly not a hair would be harmed.

Therefore, Zhou Ping’an temporarily dismissed the idea of seeking help from modern society.

More drawbacks than benefits.

If he couldn’t pass this level, the situation would become very tricky, and a stalemate would mean too many unknowns could arise.

But regardless, it would not be as Yan Bing said, that failing to pass would mean death.

Or even result in annihilation...

"Let us unite our efforts; perhaps we won’t even need to fight to the death to pass."

Zhou Ping’an looked seriously at Yan Bing, seeing the resoluteness and deathly determination deep in her eyes, and sighed,

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Zhou is very powerful. During that ordeal at Four Seas Manor, I had already given up hope. Lady Feng Jiu could channel Celestial Star Power into her body, she was so strong it seemed impossible to confront. Yet, he toughed it out and literally beat that woman to death..."

Fang Sheng excitedly said, "Back then, he hadn’t even developed his Martial Intent. I suspect he had only just entered the True Qi Realm, his cultivation was very weak."

"Really? How did he win?"

Yan Bing was greatly curious.

She had also passed through the Four Seas Manor trial.

That had been several years ago.

Back then, she was on the verge of breaking through the Space Fusion Realm.

Even so, working together, they barely made it out alive, nearly exhausting their three chances to retreat.

Lady Feng Jiu, in the end, absorbed starlight into her body, and her combat power in that short period had reached above the Space Fusion Realm; her swordsmanship was also very mysterious.

The fact that Zhou Ping’an, without even fully developed Martial Intent, could fiercely break through that ordeal just showed the peril involved.

Thinking of the last time when he led two thousand cavalry against eight thousand of the enemy’s and still held his ground,

Yan Bing took a deep breath, and her confidence grew a bit more.

Inside the great hall, Crown Prince Ying, Shen Yu, was sleeping sweetly on his sister’s lap, while Shen Bi was half-closing her eyes, silently pondering something, the stove burned bright red, and outside the fort, horseshoes sounded like thunder, booming as they came and went.

Yet Zhou Ping’an seemed to have forgotten that a life-or-death trial was approaching.

He just sat by the stove with closed eyes, meditating.

Inside his Sea of Consciousness, the Sky-splitting Saber Technique was performed, stroke by stroke, until the dawn light appeared in the east.
