227: Chapter 227: The Return of the War God 227: Chapter 227: The Return of the War God Holy Mountain, Black Curtain Forest. Athena’s direct provocation made the faces of Hephaestus and his companions turn sour. Even Apollo, the calmest among the three, had anger flashing across his face. Ye Shikai too was sweating for Athena, such a fearless character, truly unafraid of offending others. “Athena, are you really determined to protect him?” Hephaestus asked in a low voice. “That’s right, if you want to fight then fight, if not, then scram. No need to spout nonsense,” Athena impatiently retorted, greatsword in hand, ready to deal with the trio’s attack at any moment. “Fire God Spell—Fiery Fire.” As soon as Hephaestus finished speaking, he made his move. A fire dragon soared out from the Fire God Hammer. Swinging her greatsword, Athena’s golden Sword Qi sliced the fire dragon in half. As the two clashed, Apollo and Poseidon also sprang into action. “Sun God Spell—Radiant Divine Arrow.” Apollo plucked the bowstring, and several golden arrows flew past with the wind. Athena swiftly dodged the arrows. Poseidon, holding his trident, charged forward. Athena was now resisting the onslaught of three main gods. “Ji Qian, you take them and leave the mountain first,” Ye Shikai instructed Ji Qian, seizing the opportunity during the chaos of the battle. “What about you?” Ji Qian asked with an anxious look on her face. “I’m going to help Athena,” sighed Ye Shikai. In Athena’s heart, Ye Shikai was her fiancé. Although his intentions were not to deceive her at the time, witnessing her now fighting fiercely against the three main gods, if Ye Shikai left at this moment, it would mean exploiting Athena’s feelings, which would be utterly despicable, and his conscience wouldn’t allow it. “Alright then, but come back quickly after helping,” Ji Qian finally nodded her head, agreeing with his decision after glancing at the battling Athena. Once everyone had left, Ye Shikai immediately joined the fray. Although Athena was extremely powerful, she seemed slightly overwhelmed facing the combined attack of the three main gods and nearly got hit by an arrow. Ye Shikai stepped in swiftly and repelled Hephaestus with a palm strike. Previously, during the battle with the twenty-four experts, the onset of his Demon Addiction had greatly depleted his Inner Strength. Even now, it had only recovered slightly, resulting in a stalemate in the fight. “Athena, you fool, Hades is just using you against us; the Moon God is his mistress,” Apollo suddenly blurted out, clearly attempting to sow discord. “I believe him. If he was using me, he would have already left,” to Ye Shikai’s relief, Athena did not waver. Fortunately, Ye Shikai had returned to help her, or otherwise she would now be pursued by four main gods. For a moment, even Apollo was unable to divide them, as he hadn’t expected Ye Shikai would actually take the risk to come back. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across the sky. “War God Spell—Whirlwind.” “Ha ha, Old Ye, I’m back.” The corners of Ye Shikai’s mouth turned up slightly. Wang Kai had arrived just in time. On the contrary, the trio opposite darkened their expressions, as yet another Cheng Yaojin had emerged. The whirlwind tore towards them, and Ye Shikai could distinctly feel that the power of Whirlwind had increased a notch. “Old Wang, where have you been?” Ye Shikai’s eyes fell on the long spear in Wang Kai’s hand, his eyes lighting up – wasn’t that the Divine Artifact from the War God Temple? “Ha ha, through unexpected twists, I found the War God Temple and obtained the War God Spear,” laughed Wang Kai. He had passed through a mysterious passage in the cave, as if arriving in a secluded place. The War God Temple stood majestically within, and this spear in his hand was the temple’s Divine Artifact, which had significantly increased the power of the Whirlwind. This was undoubtedly good news. “Eh, why is Athena here?” Wang Kai noticed Athena nearby, curious. This woman, wasn’t she shouting about settling scores with Ye Shikai outside earlier? Why was she now helping instead? “I am his wife,” Athena said indifferently. Wang Kai was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. It was a bit confusing; hadn’t Ye Shikai already married? How was he involved with Athena now? He couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: “Man, you’re impressive, married and still got a backup team.” “This issue... is complicated, I’ll explain it to you later,” Ye Shikai said somewhat awkwardly, as things were really not clear at the moment. “Where are the others? Why are you alone?” Wang Kai asked. “I told them to go down the mountain first, they’ve all suffered serious injuries,” Ye Shikai replied. “Alright then, you go ahead and find them, I’ll hold the fort here,” Wang Kai said, as he thrust his spear fiercely at Poseidon, forcing him to retreat. “Okay, it’s all yours,” Ye Shikai quickly responded, and hurried away. ... Ji Qian led the others, resting in a forest in the distance. All along the way, she had left markers to facilitate Ye Shikai finding them. “My lord, where shall we go next?” Selena asked. “Let’s wait here; he should be arriving soon,” Ji Qian said. Near the others, she set up an array that would make it so those outside could not see the people inside. Taking advantage of this rest time, everyone started healing their wounds, and Ji Qian’s gem-encrusted magic wand hovered in the air, emitting a silver glow which was helpful for healing wounds. “Alright,” Selena replied, then started healing her injuries. Ji Qian looked around and saw a figure running towards them in the distance. After a closer look, she recognized it was Ye Shikai coming to find them. She quickly dismantled the array. “We’re here,” Ji Qian waved to Ye Shikai from afar. “Are you all still safe here?” Ye Shikai, after taking a few quick steps and reaching Ji Qian’s side, asked with concern. “Yes, how did you come down? What about Athena?” Ji Qian asked. “Wang Kai came back, and he also found the War God Temple, he told me to come find you guys first,” Ye Shikai explained to the group what had just happened. When they heard that Wang Kai was alright, Kui Tuo Si and Phobos finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Let’s go; they should be able to manage,” Ye Shikai said, and everyone got up, ready to leave. Suddenly, they heard a booming sound, and a dazzling golden light flashed in another direction. “I’ll go check out what’s going on,” Ye Shikai said lightly. He suddenly felt a faint pain in his chest—as if something significant was about to happen. This kind of premonition was never a good thing, and his multiple experiences in Huaxia had proven it. Ye Shikai walked up to a hillside, took out a military-grade telescope from his backpack, and looked towards the distance. “Zeus, he’s actually here too,” Ye Shikai’s expression grew solemn. Across from him were Anna and several elders from the British Church. It seemed they had run into trouble. Ye Shikai moved the telescope and suddenly, his face turned to one of astonishment. The telescope dropped from his hands with a ‘thud’ onto the ground, as if he had seen a ghost. Su Qingyu, she was also here.
