Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

"Hold on, Miaoran! I will definitely get you out of here safely!"

Zheng Qian's voice rang in Li Miaoran's ears, firm and powerful, like a shot of adrenaline, refocusing Li Miaoran's previously unfocused gaze.

"Alliance Leader." Li Miaoran smiled, her long, smooth black hair cascading down like a waterfall, a few stray strands occasionally fluttering in the wind, adding to her unadorned natural beauty. A calm and composed smile remained between her brows, as if it could dispel all the gloom around her, giving people peace and hope.

Taking out a colorful ribbon from his spatial ring, Zheng Qian carried Li Miaoran on his back, feeling the softness against his back. He laughed loudly, "How could the worthless trash from the three races make our Iron Blood Alliance cough up blood and bow down?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Qian carried Li Miaoran on his back and flew backward, with the five Demon Emperor Realm experts immediately giving chase.

"Zheng Qian, where are you running to?"

"Haha, a bunch of trash." Zheng Qian took out the Heart Sutra Bow, drew the string taut, and an arrow flashing with golden light suddenly appeared on the bowstring. It was the Golden Arrow that he had carefully prepared, enough to penetrate the defense of a Demon Emperor Realm expert.

"Beware of the arrow!" Zheng Qian roared, activating his locked divine skill. He released his grip on the bow, and the golden arrow streaked across the sky like a meteor, heading straight for a Demon Emperor Realm expert with a sharp whistling sound. With a soft thud, the golden arrow pierced through the Demon Emperor's shoulder, causing him to howl in pain, and his speed was immediately reduced.

"Damn it!" The other four Demon Emperor Realm experts glared angrily and quickened their pursuit, but they couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive.

Zheng Qian, who was at the Dragon Transformation Realm, actually crossed two major realms and injured a Demon Emperor Realm expert.

"That's too strong. The Alliance Leader was actually able to wound a Demon Emperor Realm expert."

"Hehe, with the arrival of the alliance leader, we will definitely be able to turn this danger into safety."

Zheng Qian's arrow boosted the morale of the Iron-Blooded Conquest Alliance, and they were no longer afraid of the demon race's ambush.

So what if I die? I'm not afraid.

"For the alliance, for our faith!" Zheng Qian roared again, his voice filled with power and determination.

"Retreat." Zheng Qian did not order everyone to kill, but instead ordered everyone to retreat.

Knowing that the enemy is strong and we are weak, we must retreat, avoid their sharp edge, and escape for our lives.

Carrying Li Miaoran on his back, he swept across the battlefield like a whirlwind, finally managing to fire four more arrows, breaking through the enemy's encirclement and rushing towards Li Ming and the others.

Although Li Miaoran was seriously injured, she was still conscious. She leaned gently against Zheng Qian's back and whispered, "Alliance Leader, put me down. Maybe you can escape this way."

“Don’t talk nonsense, Miaoran.” Zheng Qian’s tone left no room for doubt: “We, the Iron Blood Alliance, will never abandon any of our comrades.”

Li Miaoran's lips unconsciously curled up; these were the most reassuring and beautiful words of love she had ever heard in her life.

Flying to Li Ming's side, Zheng Qian untied Li Miaoran and handed her to Ye Lanshuang: "Protect the Vice Alliance Leader well, and leave the rearguard matters to us."

Ye Lanshuang nodded gratefully and helped Li Miaoran back to the middle of the group.

"Li Ming, we'll break through to the Liquid Aperture Realm soon and use the tribulation lightning to cut off the demon race's pursuers. You take everyone and leave first." Zheng Qian didn't waste any words. He had already planned it when he came: use the tribulation lightning to block the pursuers and give them a chance to escape.

Li Ming revealed a confident smile: "Grandmaster, I can also break through at any time and attract the tribulation lightning."

"Don't use it unless absolutely necessary." Zheng Qian didn't want Li Ming to break through when his foundation was unstable, as it would be bad for his future cultivation path.

Life cannot be compared, because every life is equal. However, there are millions of ordinary people, but only one in millions of extraordinary individuals. Therefore, the life of an extraordinary person is indeed more precious than that of an ordinary person.

"Don't worry, leave the rearguard action to me." Li Ming was very confident. As long as they broke through the encirclement, he was capable of covering the rear and ensuring everyone's safe retreat.

At this moment, he was enveloped in raging flames, like a war god reborn from the ashes, soaring at the rear of the group. Facing the combined attack of five powerful demon emperors, Li Ming showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, his fighting spirit intensified. His figure moved nimbly left and right within the flames, skillfully dodging deadly attacks from all directions.

At the same time, he rapidly formed hand seals, channeling his soul magic to its limit. Blazing fire spears materialized at his fingertips, streaking across the night sky like meteors, carrying destructive power as they hurtled towards the five powerful demon emperors. These fire spears were not only incredibly powerful but also extremely fast, causing the five demon emperors to feel a chill run down their spines.

However, Li Ming's resistance did not stop there. Besides the five demon emperors, more than five hundred powerful demon warriors were in hot pursuit. So, he activated his soul technique again, and fire spears rained down, turning the sky a fiery red. These fire spears intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable net of fire, blocking the demon warriors who tried to break through the defenses.

Thanks to his efforts, the five powerful demon emperors were temporarily held back, and the pursuit of more than five hundred demon clan experts was greatly slowed down. Li Ming's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the intertwining flames and fire spears. Every move he made was precise and deadly, buying precious time for everyone's retreat.

When they passed through a grove of trees, Zheng Qian stayed behind.

"Grandmaster, Senior Brother Li Ming is definitely not in any danger for the time being. We will take turns covering the rear. You should leave quickly." Even while fleeing for his life, Chen Tianrui was still exceptionally handsome. He had a Divine Soul Bead in his hand, a seventh-grade magic weapon he had chosen a few days ago.

"I'm here to cause some trouble for the three races." Zheng Qian revealed a strange smile, placed his hands on the ground, and then slowly closed his eyes. In this vast and mysterious forest, his figure seemed to blend into nature, establishing an indescribable connection with the surrounding plants and trees.

During the Twin Absolute Domains, the Iron Tree Man gifted him a small green seed, a Wood Spirit that the Iron Tree Man could only bestow once in his long life. This Wood Spirit was a priceless treasure, given only once in the Iron Tree Man's lifetime. It contained the power of nature and was a symbol of the spirits of plants and trees. The person who possessed the Wood Spirit would be able to become a friend of plants and trees, listen to their voices, and even command their actions.

At this moment, Zheng Qian was using the power of the Wood Spirit to establish a deep connection with the plants and trees in the forest. He closed his eyes, but his mind was clear. He could feel the breath of every plant and the trembling of every leaf. He felt as if he had become a part of this forest, breathing and sharing its fate with the plants and trees.

"Use the spirit of the wood as a guide, and the plants and trees as soldiers, to block the pursuers!" Zheng Qian silently recited the incantation in his heart, transmitting his thoughts to the plants and trees in the forest.

In an instant, the entire forest seemed to awaken. Tree branches began to twist and stretch, forming solid barriers. Vines surged from the ground, intertwining like living things to form a vast net. Even the seemingly delicate herbaceous plants displayed astonishing strength at this moment. Their roots penetrated deeply into the soil, like the veins of the earth, providing the entire forest with a continuous source of power.

The Ironblood Conquest Alliance's escape route was unobstructed, with vegetation clearing a path for them. When injured members fell, the vegetation also supported their bodies, allowing them to continue their escape safely.

"Senior sister, even the heavens are helping us; even the plants and trees are clearing a path for us." Ye Lanshuang was extremely excited. It was amazing that plants and trees had spirits and were clearing a path for them.

"Junior sister, this is Zheng Qian communicating with the spirits of plants and trees to help us retreat." Li Miaoran was no longer able to fight. She lay on Ye Lanshuang's back with a gentle smile on her lips.

Zheng Qian, you're really amazing; you can even communicate with the spirits of plants and trees. Li Miaoran felt a sweet warmth in her heart. When Zheng Qian picked her up by the waist and led her away, she felt a different kind of affection for him.

Who doesn't like a hero, especially a handsome hero with unlimited potential?

The pursuers from the Yuren, Youyuan Snake, and Lieyan Leopard tribes initially thought this forest was merely a simple obstacle on their escape route. However, when they stepped into this forest controlled by Zheng Qian, they discovered that things were far more complicated than they initially thought.

Caught off guard, they were all pulled into the forest by the vines and could no longer fly through the air.

The warriors of the Yuren race possess the special ability to become invisible. However, in the dense forest, their invisibility spell becomes ineffective. The tree branches act like eyes, able to detect their movements. Whenever they attempt to approach, branches always attack from all directions, catching them off guard.

The snake-people of the Abyss Serpent Clan are adept at stealth and attack in the dark. But in this forest surrounded by vegetation, they find no darkness at all. Vines and branches block out the sun, preventing moonlight from penetrating. The snake-people lose their advantage in this forest, forced to passively defend against attacks from all sides.

The warriors of the Flame Leopard Clan possessed powerful fire abilities. They initially thought they could burn down the forest, but they were mistaken. A thick layer of dew covered the branches and leaves; whenever the flames approached, the dew evaporated instantly, carrying away the heat. The seemingly delicate herbaceous plants, in particular, possessed astonishing fire resistance. They used their bodies to block the spread of the flames, providing shelter for the other creatures in the forest.

The warriors of the three races were locked in a fierce battle within the forest. Constantly hampered by the attacks of the vegetation, they were unable to advance an inch. Zheng Qian, however, sat deep within the forest, eyes closed, smiling as he observed everything. He seemed to have become the master of this forest, holding the power of life and death over the plants and trees.

As time went on, the warriors of the three races began to feel their strength waning. Their stamina was constantly being depleted, while the attacks from the vegetation grew increasingly fierce. Tree branches were like sharp blades, easily slicing through their skin; vines entangled them, rendering them immobile; and even the seemingly harmless herbs relentlessly attacked them with their roots and leaves.

"This can't go on!" Lie Yi shouted. "We must find the person who controls the plants, or we'll all be trapped here!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a thick tree branch fell from the sky, striking him and leaving him dazed. The leaders of the other two tribes faced the same predicament. They tried to organize an effective counterattack, but their efforts seemed so futile against the onslaught of vegetation.

Zheng Qian opened his eyes, watching the warriors of the three races flee in disarray, a smug smile playing on his lips. He stood up, dusted himself off, and left the forest.

"What should we do?" Lie Yi panicked. If Zheng Qian escaped today, their mission would fail, and Zheng Qian would grow stronger. He was terrified just thinking about it.

"Hmph, what's the panic? There are no obstacles blocking our way."

"Yes, they can't escape. And crossing this forest won't be difficult at all."

The five powerful demon emperors remained completely unfazed, and the fact that all seven prodigies possessed seventh-grade magic weapons was unexpected. The information provided indicated that everyone in the Iron-Blooded Conquest Alliance possessed a third-grade magic weapon. The difference between a third-grade and a seventh-grade magic weapon was immense, catching them completely off guard.

But so what? Tonight, they have made a foolproof plan; even if they break into the Starry Chess Formation, they will still kill Zheng Qian.

A Yuren (a type of demon race member) dressed in black robes took out an arrow and fired it, instantly killing all the plants within a 300-meter radius. Four other powerful demon emperors also joined the attack, leading Lie Yi and the others out of the forest. The members of the Iron-Blooded Conquest Alliance, however, had long since vanished.

On the other side, Zhao Mingxiu and Zhao Minghang were also engaged in a fierce battle.

"Surround them, capture them alive!" A cold, authoritative command echoed in the darkness. With this command, the demon warriors surged forward like a tidal wave, tightly surrounding Zhao Mingxiu and Zhao Minghang. Flames flickered in the darkness, illuminating the demon warriors' ferocious faces and bloodthirsty eyes.

Zhao Mingxiu and Zhao Minghang stood back to back, their breathing heavy, their eyes shining with unyielding spirit. Despite being surrounded by tens of thousands of demon soldiers, they showed no fear. The greatswords in their hands gleamed coldly in the flames; they were their only weapons, and the embodiment of their faith in upholding justice.

Although Zhao Mingxiu was only at the Dragon Transformation Realm, his mastery of the "Radiant Holy Scripture" soul technique was unparalleled. Every swing of his sword was accompanied by dazzling light, as if it could tear through the darkness and illuminate the path ahead. As for Zhao Minghang, a master at the True Core Realm, his strength was even more unfathomable. With each swing of his greatsword, he stirred up gusts of wind, repelling the approaching demon soldiers.

However, the demon soldiers were numerous and their attacks were fierce, making the two men's resistance increasingly difficult. Even so, they did not give up, because they knew that if they fell into the hands of the demons, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Sect Leader Zhao, we cannot sit idly by and wait to die!" Zhao Mingxiu gritted his teeth, his voice ringing in Zhao Minghang's ears, filled with determination. They would rather die in battle than be captured alive and humiliated.

Zhao Mingxiu nodded, his eyes even more determined: "Young Master Zhao, rest assured, even if I die, I will lead you out of this encirclement!"

The two wielded their greatswords once more, engaging in a fierce battle with the demon warriors. Their figures weaved through the light, each swing of their swords accompanied by a deafening roar, as if they intended to tear the darkness apart completely.

However, the demon warriors were simply too numerous, their attacks relentless like a tidal wave. Although Zhao Mingxiu and Zhao Minghang were incredibly brave, they were ultimately no match for the overwhelming numbers. Their strength gradually waned, their wounds multiplied, and blood stained their clothes.

"Hehe... Struggle, the more you struggle, the more excited I get." Mo Feng laughed wildly. He could kill the two of them in one move, but he wouldn't do that because he wanted to play cat and mouse.

Just then, a group of people emerged from the darkness, charging into the demon army as easily as slicing through melons and vegetables. Their weapons all emitted a dazzling spiritual light; they were none other than the Iron-Blooded Conquest Alliance, whose members were all wielding at least third-grade magical artifacts.

Zheng Qian's voice echoed across the battlefield: "Brother Mingxiu, Lord Zhao, how are you!"
