Three tongues of dragon flame whistled towards the array below.
Nie Li stood in the face of those dragon flames, but didn’t move an inch. His expression was calm. He quickly extended his hand and snatched the Deity Root.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
The three tongues of dragon flame exploded around him. One raging flame even caught on him.
A barrier quickly sprung up from his Grade 6 artifact and blocked the flames. Not even the slightest spark managed to touch Nie Li’s skin.
He got the Deity Root!
The corner of Nie Li’s mouth rose into a smile as he tossed the Deity Root into the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting.
Since he already had the Deity Root, there was no longer a need to continue the battle.
Nie Li transmitted his voice over the Li Xingyun and Gu Bei. “Brother Xingyun, Gu Bei, conserve our strength and order a retreat!”
When Li Xingyun, Gu Bei, and the others heard Nie Li’s words, they rejoiced. Nie Li had accomplished their objective, so why should they keep fighting? They should just let Gu Heng go and cry in a corner all on his own. Anyways, they weren’t going to stay and play around with him any longer than they needed to!
“Everyone, retreat!” Gu Bei loudly yelled.
“Follow me and charge out!” Li Xingyun took the lead.
The experts of Heavenly Path League and Demon League all charged out of the seige.
Without its Deity Root, the Lightning Deity’s Lake began to rapidly collapse.
At the sight of this, how could Gu Heng possibly not understand what was going on? He nearly cried out from the emotional pain. This Lightning Deity’s Lake was his last remaining one! So what if he managed to wipe out Nie Li and his entire group? All three of his Deity’s Lakes were gone, not a single one was left!
That goddamn bastard, Nie Li!
If he wanted a new Deity’s Lake, then he’d have to start a war with another faction! Furthermore, he wouldn’t be able to find anything better than Heiyun, Guyu, and Lightning Deity’s Lakes!
“I’ll slaughter you all!” Gu Heng roared in rage and led his men to attack on all sides.
Nie Li, Xiao Yu, Lu Piao, and their men followed Li Xingyun and Gu Bei. The battle was simply too intense. Within moments, everyone got separated from each other in the clash.
Gu Heng pointed at Nie Li and yelled, “Slaughter that kid and bring me his interspatial ring!”
Nie Li definitely must have taken something from the Lightning Deity’s Lake and placed it in his interspatial ring! Whatever it was, Gu Heng had to recover it!
A group of people surrounded Nie Li.
When Li Xingyun and Gu Bei saw this, they immediately led a few men to rescue him.
“Don’t worry about me! Just retreat!” Nie Li immediately yelled. After all, the Deity Root wasn’t in his interspatial ring; it was in his Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting.
