Chapter 887: Chapter 37: Battle of Grandmasters

Deep in the Wilderness.

A streak of flowing light cut through the cloud layer in the sky and then fell towards the ground like a meteor.

This kind of fierce momentum at least contains an impact force of over several hundred tons!

Yet as the streak landed, it merely stirred up some dust and left a pair of footprints on the ground.

The flowing light dissipated, revealing a figure clad in a gray robe, its features blurred and unclear.

It was the newly risen ‘Evil Demon’ Qi Ming!

He had been tracked by the Power of Laws left within Bai Yan by Yun Shu, having fled thousands of miles into the depths of the wilderness.

But he still had not managed to shake off the pursuit.

Qi Ming glanced behind him, eyes somewhat gloomy.

Analyzing the Dao Rules, so troublesome!

These Dao Rules seemingly lacked direct offensive or defensive capabilities, yet they were incredibly versatile, applicable across various domains.

Qi Ming hadn’t directly attacked Bai Yan, merely left a bit of ‘tail,’ yet he had been pursued the entire night, nearly locked countless times!

Now he dared not leave the Northern Barbarians and return to the Da Lan Dynasty territory.

Once he entered Da Lan Dynasty’s borders, Yun Shu’s power would be replenished by the national fortune, becoming even more formidable.

Now all he could do was play ‘hide and seek’ with Yun Shu’s Power of Laws within the Northern Barbarians, slowly wearing it down.

But the problem was Yun Shu could deplete the national fortune from afar, replenishing the Power of Laws.

Therefore, this war of attrition could ultimately become a direct confrontation between Qi Ming and the entire Da Lan Dynasty!

Although Yun Shu would significantly deplete the national fortune this way, if he could completely lock Qi Ming, he would do so willingly.

Thus, Qi Ming could not risk dragging it out indefinitely.

Yet he dared not directly attack this Power of Laws to shatter it, as that would expose himself, allowing Yun Shu to lock him down.

If it were any of the other three ‘Evil Demons,’ even if locked, there would still be a path to survival, not necessarily a death sentence.

But Qi Ming’s ‘Dao’ was entirely contrary to the Da Lan Dynasty’s national fortune; once locked, he would immediately face ‘Heavenly Punishment’!

Not wishing to be locked, nor wanting a prolonged confrontation, Qi Ming had only two paths ahead:

First, find a way to completely escape Yun Shu’s pursuit.

Second, have someone else help break Yun Shu’s Power of Laws.

Qi Ming had ‘plans’ for both paths.

“Bo’erhu, don’t let me down.”

Qi Ming paused to regain his breath for a moment, seeing his ‘phantom’ about to be detected again by Yun Shu’s Power of Laws, he had to soar into the sky and fly towards a certain direction.

He was going to find Northern Barbarian King Bo’erhu!

Looking across the entire Northern Barbarians, only Bo’erhu, who had reached ‘Prince Level’ combat power, could help him.

He didn’t need Bo’erhu to completely crush Yun Shu’s Power of Laws; just a slight obstruction would allow him to escape the pursuit!

As for why Bo’erhu would help him.

He had just done a big favor for the Northern Barbarians, possibly even saved Bo’erhu’s life!

The enemy’s enemy is a friend.

Such a simple truth, Qi Ming believed Bo’erhu would surely understand and be willing to assist.

After all, with a Peak Strong Person of the True One Realm like himself secretly holding back Da Lan Dynasty, Bo’erhu would have the chance to unify the Northern Barbarians and take that final step.

Qi Ming headed toward the battlefield where the Savage Killing Army had fought with the Northern Barbarian King’s Personal Guard Army.

He wasn’t sure of the battle situation after he left, but he thought the Northern Barbarians must have the advantage.

It had only been one night, and the Personal Guard Army must not have traveled far, so Bo’erhu was likely still among the army.

Over an hour later, Qi Ming flew above the nameless mountain peak.

As he expected, the Northern Barbarian King’s Personal Guard Army indeed hadn’t gone far, and it had already joined forces with the alliance army of the Fire Qilin Clan, Flame Heart Clan, and Qingye Clan.

The center of the Alliance Army’s camp was guarded by a Big Array, making it difficult to perceive the situation inside.

Qi Ming directly used Magic for Transmission, startling the Big Array below.

Within the Big Array, over a dozen Overlord Strong Persons were startled simultaneously.

This was a Big Array formed by the strong persons of three tribes, along with tens of thousands of Martial Artists!

Although the Northern Barbarians lacked the Sha Qi and Military Formations of the Central Plains, the method of assembling everyone’s power through array to confront the most formidable has been passed down since ancient times.

Only, arrays are far less flexible than military formations.

At this moment, the Big Array below was sufficient to withstand the attack of a Peak Grandmaster, but it still fell short before Qi Ming.

However, Qi Ming did not forcibly break through.

He came seeking cooperation, not to make an enemy of Bo’erhu.

Moreover, he was currently being tracked and dared not make rash moves to avoid leaving traces.

“Who are you?”

“I am the President of the New Heaven Association, Qi Ming.”

“…”

This name stunned the strong persons below.

Soon, the voice of Northern Barbarian King Bo’erhu came from within the Big Array:

“So it’s President Qi Ming gracing us with your presence. What brings you here?”

“Indeed, I have something to ask the Northern Barbarian King for assistance.”

Yun Shu’s pursuit was fast approaching, Qi Ming did not have much time, so he got straight to the point, informing Bo’erhu of his situation.

Inside the Big Array, Bo’erhu paused for a moment before saying:

“I apologize, but I am wounded and temporarily unable to assist you.”

“Oh?”

Qi Ming’s first reaction was that Bo’erhu was making excuses.

The other party wanted to negotiate and haggle terms.

He was pressed for time and had little patience to slowly negotiate with Bo’erhu, so he directly said:

“You should know very well that only if I stay alive do you have the opportunity to execute your plans under Da Lan Dynasty’s watchful eyes. If I die, Da Lan Dynasty will immediately turn to kill you!”
