Chapter 704 - 698: Kong Xuan Rescues Nato

If it were someone else, after falling into an ambush and getting news that reinforcements are on the way,

they would definitely hunker down for defense, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive before launching a counterattack.

But Nato is different.

Nato has a childish nature, and in a child’s mind, if you slap me, I’ll slap you right back.

Nato absolutely cannot stand for this loss.

The main thing is, Nato is afraid of losing face!

The battle turned out this way, with heavy casualties on his side while the opponents remain unscathed. How can Nato face anyone?

"Reinforcements?"

"Senior Brother Kong will definitely be the first to arrive. If he sees me in such a sorry state, he’ll surely make fun of me."

"I can’t have Senior Brother Kong looking down on me, I must regain some ground in this battle." Nato thought to himself.

"Charge!"

"Rush forward and avenge our fallen brothers." Nato shouted loudly and then charged ahead with determination.

Nato’s body was enveloped in scorching black demonic flames. Some of the weaker members of the Void Race were killed instantly under Nato’s fierce assault, their souls scattered.

This is what you call courage born of skill; he charged solo into the heart of the Void Race’s ambush, full of momentum.

While Nato was enjoying the killing spree, his allies paid the price.

Nato’s brothers didn’t share his prowess.

In the heart of the Void Race’s formation, Nato slaughtered wildly.

But likewise, his brothers were also being slaughtered mercilessly.

One disciple of Wa Huang’s Palace after another fell into the pool of blood, their lives extinguished, souls dissipated.

Of the dozens of disciples Nato brought with him, only a few were still standing at this moment.

"Senior Brother Nato, we can’t hold on any longer!" a disciple of Wa Huang’s Palace shouted before his death.

Upon hearing the cry, Nato turned around and saw that behind him was an overwhelming number of the Void Race, with no sign of Wa Huang’s disciples in sight.

Seeing this, Nato’s heart sank.

It was then that Nato realized he had been too reckless.

Not only had he caused the deaths of so many brothers, but he likely wouldn’t make it out alive himself.

Nato steeled his resolve and, with all his might, gripped the blazing spear in his hands, charging toward the Void Race.

Nato thought, anyway, today I’m doomed, so I might as well kill.

Killing one is a fair exchange, killing two is a profit."

With his formidable strength, Nato rampaged through the Void Race’s formation, felling enemy after enemy with his spear.

But the Void Race wasn’t easy prey either.

What’s more, the Void Race had the numbers on their side.

"Nine-tailed Sky Covering!"

Suddenly, a Void Race member disguised as the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, nine fox tails growing wildly, formed a huge cage, temporarily trapping Nato within.

Once trapped, two other Void Race experts of the same level as Nato began their assault on him from either side.

"This is bad!"

"My life is over!" Nato thought to himself.

Though Nato was powerful, he was not yet at the level where he could fight three opponents of the same rank by himself.

Trapped as he was, he couldn’t dodge and could only brace himself for the impact.

Enduring the attack of three experts on the same level was no easy feat.

Even if Nato didn’t die from the frontal assault, he would be gravely injured.

Meanwhile, the Peacock Great Ming King arrived at the scene.

Though upon arriving, the Peacock Great Ming King was also in a dilemma.

On the surface, the people of Wa Huang’s Palace were supposed to be his brothers, and he should help them.

But in reality, the Peacock Great Ming King was an insider, and the Void Race were his allies.

The tricky part was that they were under Wa Huang’s watch, and if he gave too obvious aid, his betrayal would be easily exposed.

"Yin Celestial Son."

"Yin Celestial Son, Yin Celestial Son!" The Peacock Great Ming King called out to Yin Celestial Son three times, then asked, "What should I do?"

Upon hearing the Peacock Great Ming King’s call, Yin Celestial Son quickly responded, "The defeat of the Void Race is inevitable. You must not concern yourself with them, just ensure your identity remains secret."

Yin Celestial Son’s words clearly indicated that the Peacock Great Ming King should fight.

Since the Peacock Great Ming King’s current identity was a disciple of Wa Huang’s Palace, he should act as such.

Yin Celestial Son was perceptive. He understood that the Void Race couldn’t win.

Because once the Void Race seemed likely to win, Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha wouldn’t hesitate to intervene personally.

The only question was when they would lose.

Given the current situation, the longer the Void Race took to lose, the more advantageous it was for the world.

Therefore, Yin Celestial Son’s aim was to prolong the battle, not to help the Void Race win.

Therefore, there was no need to risk exposing the Peacock Great Ming King for the Void Race.

With Yin Celestial Son’s answer, the Peacock Great Ming King gained confidence.

Seeing Nato under siege by the Void Race, the Peacock Great Ming King didn’t hesitate and unleashed the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Since he had taken action, there was no need to hold back.

Wa Huang could recognize the Peacock Great Ming King’s true power.

If he held back now, it would easily arouse suspicion.

Meanwhile, as Nato was on the verge of despair against the three formidable foes,

a beam of Five-Colored Divine Light swept over.

The Five-Colored Divine Light first aimed at the two energy attacks coming at Nato, dissipating them instantly upon contact.

Next, the Five-Colored Divine Light swept across the sky-covering web formed by the nine tails.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, nine tails severed on the spot.

"Pfft!"

The Void Race member in the guise of the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder sprayed a mouthful of blood after his nine tails were severed.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s powers lie mostly in their tails.

Once the tails are cut, it’s practically a death sentence.

Fortunately for them, they only copied the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s abilities, so losing nine tails didn’t mean losing their life.

Though their life was spared, their aura had weakened.

Nato, who was trapped all this time, seized this chance to retreat from the Void Race’s territory to the Peacock Great Ming King’s side.

Nato, with some guilt, said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Kong, for saving me. It was all my fault; so many brothers died because of me."

Hearing this, the Peacock Great Ming King thought to himself, "No, Nato, you did nothing wrong. You did wonderfully!"

"Killing them like that was beautifully done!"

The Peacock Great Ming King got along well with Nato, but he had no particular relationship with the others from Wa Huang’s Palace.

In the Peacock Great Ming King’s view, the more of them died, the better, since they would eventually face Lin Yuan and his allies.

The more that died now, the easier it would be when confronting Lin Yuan in the future.
