Chapter 687 The Demons Retreat, the Righteous God Resurrects

Jiang Chen was equally surprised upon hearing this.

The Dragon-Demon Alliance had charged in with overwhelming force, so why did they suddenly retreat? "What happened to them?" Jiang Chen asked.

Li Xueru said, "It wasn't the Dragon-Demon Alliance that retreated, it was the demons that retreated."

"That's even stranger. Could they be fighting amongst themselves?" Jiang Chen was even more puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

Li Xueru said, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Their retreat is a good thing."

That makes sense; once the demons retreat, only the dragons will remain.

The pressure on the human race will be much less, and casualties will be reduced significantly. In any case, it's definitely a good thing.

Jiang Chen asked, "The demons have retreated, but what about the dragons? What was their reaction?"

Li Xueru said, "They have temporarily stopped their attack, but I think they will retreat. The dragons should know that if they fight against us humans alone, the final result will most likely be mutual destruction."

Jiang Chen said, "The result of both sides suffering losses is that the Abyss Demon benefits. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman reaps the benefits."

"That's right, so most likely the dragons will also withdraw their troops."

Li Xueru's judgment makes a lot of sense, and Jiang Chen thinks so too. As long as there are no surprises, it will most likely continue to develop in this way.

This is the best outcome so far. Although the human race suffered huge losses, the Dragon-Demon Alliance also suffered significant damage.

There were no winners in this sudden battle.

Li Xueru continued, "I think the demons' sudden withdrawal is related to you. They failed to ambush and kill you and me, so there's no point in continuing this great battle."

Jiang Chen knew that he was the person the Dragon Emperor wanted to kill the most, and that this ambush was primarily aimed at him, with Li Xueru and the others being secondary targets.

If he and Li Xueru and the others were killed, the Dragon Demon Alliance would be able to advance unimpeded and pose a great threat to the human race.

Not to mention wiping out the human race, it is very likely to cause the human race to decline and never recover.

But all attempts failed; they couldn't kill a single one.

This would render the great battle meaningless.

Li Xueru connected to the Eternal Great Wall formation and could see the scene in the Yuan Battlefield. At this moment, the demon army retreated like a tide, and the dragon army also stopped its attack. The human army also retreated accordingly, returning to its fortress without pursuing. It seemed that the great battle was about to end like this, when Li Xueru suddenly saw a sword light flying rapidly towards him.

Li Xueru let out a soft exclamation, "Why is he here?"

Jiang Chen's eyes darted around. "Is it the Righteous God who has arrived?" Li Xueru nodded. "It seems he has recovered."

Li Xueru wasn't surprised that Jiang Chen could guess Jiang Yi's identity. Given Li Xueru's position, there weren't many things that could surprise him, and even fewer people could surprise him.

Jiang Yi is one of them.

Jiang Yi was a figure from over 600 years ago. He was very powerful and had reached level 98 before his death, and had even touched the level of a half-step god.

However, due to the passage of time, Li Xueru consequently lost some of his reverence for it.

As for Jiang Chen, I have respect for him, but I wouldn't say I revere him.

In their minds, Fan Huang's presence was far stronger than Jiang Yi's, even though they were both at the half-step god level.

This subtle psychological shift can only be understood by the person involved. Jiang Chen was somewhat puzzled, "What's he doing here now?"

Li Xueru also expressed his confusion, wondering why Jiang Yi hadn't appeared earlier, but only now. Had he only just learned of the news, or had he only recently recovered?

The opening of the Eternal Great Wall was such a huge commotion, Jiang Yi couldn't possibly be unaware of it. He could sense the Demon Emperor's attack from afar last time, let alone this time. Li Xueru speculated, "Perhaps he has just recovered."

In Li Xueru's sight, Jiang Yi came from afar on his sword, charging into the dragon army alone.

It is already at level 98 and has stepped into the threshold of becoming a god.

As the laws were unleashed, countless dragon warriors perished, including the two dragon kings in the army, who couldn't even last three to five seconds.

Jiang Yi moved as if he were in an empty field, his sword flashing and killing in all directions.

The dragon army was routed by Jiang Yi alone, and scattered and fled.

The demons had already withdrawn and were far away, thus avoiding any encounter with Jiang Yi. After routing the dragon army, Jiang Yi transformed into a sword wielder and once again charged into the depths of the Yuan Battlefield, disappearing into the darkness.

It was foreseeable that any dragons or demons deep within the Yuan Battlefield that Jiang Yi encountered would meet a tragic end. Li Xueru sighed, "It seems like he's venting his anger."

Jiang Yi had previously killed fiercely, quickly and ruthlessly, unleashing his laws with unrestrained force, carrying deep hatred and intense malevolence.

Li Xueru could sense this emotion from the glint of his sword.

Imagine he was almost killed, and after centuries of loneliness, he was finally reborn. How could he not feel hatred?

Li Xueru could understand it very well.

But Jiang Chen frowned upon hearing this. "Teacher, are you saying he's venting?"

Li Xueru nodded, "His sword light and laws are filled with hatred, a deep hatred. All the enemies who died by his sword were chopped into pieces!"

Li Xueru's words made Jiang Chen even more suspicious.

Li Xueru thought for a moment and then added, "Now it seems a bit strange. Some people have clearly been killed, but it still adds two more swords to the corpse and dismembers it." Jiang Chen said, "I feel something is wrong. I had contact with Yishen in the secret realm. He gave me a very gentle feeling, like an old man who has seen through everything and understood everything."

“There’s not a trace of hostility, no hatred, only magnanimity.” Li Xueru pondered for a few seconds before slowly speaking, “Do you think it might be that his hatred for demons completely erupted after his resurrection? Or perhaps it’s his hatred for humanity.”

Jiang Chen shook his head, "It shouldn't be like this. Even if he hates demons, it shouldn't be to this extent. Besides, what he just killed wasn't a demon, but a dragon."

Jiang Chen's words make perfect sense; the higher one's soul level, the more stable one's emotions become.

Even if there is hatred, it generally wouldn't go to such an extent.

Even though the Dragon Emperor hated Jiang Chen to the core, he remained calm. Moreover, in Jiang Yi's era, the interaction between the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan was limited to the Ancient Battlefield. At that time, the Human Clan's greatest enemy was still the Demons, and Jiang Yi almost truly perished because of the Demons.

If anyone should hate, it should be the devil.

The demons have just retreated; if Jiang Yi wanted to pursue them, he could easily catch up.

But the result was not like that.

Jiang Yi gives the impression of someone who will kill any enemy he sees, regardless of who they are.

Reason seems to be waning somewhat.

Li Xueru and Jiang Chen couldn't figure it out. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen took out Antares's dragon scale.

This matter concerns the near-godlike status of the human race. After Fan Huang's departure, Jiang Yi is the strongest among humans, and his affairs cannot be ignored. Jiang Chen, shameless, went to bother Antares again. Fortunately, Antares wasn't asleep this time, but he still couldn't escape a few sarcastic remarks. Jiang Chen's skin had become incredibly thick, especially when facing Antares, comparable to a god. Soon, he got some answers from Antares. Li Xueru looked at Jiang Chen, "What did you say, sir?" Jiang Chen put away the dragon scales, "It said that Jiang Yi encountered some problems during his resurrection, specifically with the Demon-Slaying Sword in Jiang Yi's possession." Li Xueru searched his memories and said in a deep voice, "The Demon-Slaying Sword was extremely famous back then. According to records, the human race paid a considerable price to forge it." "Moreover, the Demon-Slaying Sword was also the trigger for that great war, and Jiang Yi's fall was also related to it."
