Chapter 527: Chapter 527
Approximately three hundred thousand miles from the Wilderness Bull Demon City, regiments of iron-blooded troops surged forward at breakneck speed, their banners flapping in the wind, obscuring the sun. A dense killing intent erupted from them, staining tens of miles of the Changkong blood-red. Their faces were all cold and emotionless, as if they were long accustomed to the sights of life and death!
At the head of the army, Bai Qi, clad in full armor, rode a Dragon Horse. He held a blood-red battle sword, his eyes sharp, a terrifying murderous aura emanating from him. Behind him followed numerous generals, each exuding a formidable aura.
"The great battle in Wilderness City has begun!" Huo Qubing stepped forward, his expression grave.
They were not far from the Ten Thousand Demons Saint’s Court. By channeling Spiritual Energy to their eyes, they could directly observe the distant battlefield and clearly perceived the events of the Great Battle of the Wilderness Bull Demon City.
"It seems His Majesty chose the right person!"
"General Li Jing risked his life to break through the Wilderness Bull Demon City. Although it prematurely triggered a major battle, he also destroyed their defensive formation, clearing our greatest obstacle in attacking the Ten Thousand Demons Saint’s Court!" Bai Qi declared, his face filled with admiration.
Before this, he had simulated an attack on a Demon City. It would require sacrificing at least ten million elite troops to breach one. Moreover, once a Demon City was breached, experts from the Ten Thousand Demons Saint’s Court would surely descend.
Ten million elite troops—what a dreadful price that would be!
The generals present heard his words and nodded in agreement, deeply admiring Li Jing’s courage and mettle.
If they were in his position, would they dare to issue the attack order before the main forces arrived? That’s a Demon City! The slightest misstep could lead to their deaths, their bodies becoming just another corpse in a river of blood!
"Issue an order! The Desert Long Army and the Heavenly Gang Regiment are to immediately rush to the Wilderness Bull Demon City!" Suddenly, Bai Qi pulled hard on the reins, halting his advance. His boundless battle intent surged to the heavens as he commanded loudly, "The remaining regiments, follow me to attack the City of War Tiger Demons!"
Countless terrifying auras shot skyward! From the legion commanders to the common soldiers, all were seething with bloodlust, their faces revealing a thirst for carnage!
"Yes, General!" Huo Qubing and Song Jiang cupped their fists in salute, then led their armies, flying towards the Wilderness Bull Demon City.
Bai Qi, in turn, led the Azure Dragon Army, White Tiger Army, Black Tortoise Army, Overlord Iron Cavalry, Bei Wei Army, and the Vermilion Bird Army, speeding towards the War Tiger Dao Domain.
The two great armies, like a pair of invincible blood dragons, raced across the vast heavens and earth. They carried a world-shattering killing aura, poised above the firmament of the Ten Thousand Demons Saint’s Court, ready to descend.
Above the Wilderness Bull Demon City, the battle grew even more intense. Experts from the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court and the Ten Thousand Demons Saint’s Court fought from the highest heavens down to the earth, then back to the heavens again. Earth-shattering roars of slaughter shook the nine firmaments! An endless torrent of bloody, murderous energy shattered the Void!
In terms of sheer numbers, the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court was outmatched by the Ten Thousand Demons Saint’s Court. However, whether it was Gui Guzi, Li Yuanba, Dong Zhongshu, or Wang Yangming, all could unleash combat power far exceeding their current realms. For a time, it was difficult to determine a victor.
Beneath the Purple Hell, the battle between Yinglong and Gui Guzi was the most ferocious. The collision of Space Law and Crossfire Law shattered thousands of miles of the Void.
"Golden Dragon Scissors!" Yinglong, growing anxious after failing to overcome Gui Guzi for so long, had a thought. Two golden dragons flew out from his body, snarling and clawing, forming a pair of golden scissors. An oppressive force, far superior to any Imperial Armament, erupted from the scissors, causing all other battle weapons on the field to dim in comparison.
"Cut!" Yinglong roared. His divine sense manipulated the Golden Dragon Scissors to snip at the exquisite chessboard above Gui Guzi’s head. The golden light was dazzling, its sharpness like a heavenly blade, severing the crisscrossing lines of the chessboard. With one snip, all techniques were broken!
In terms of power, the Golden Dragon Scissors were even more potent than the Emperor Ancestor’s ’Golden Crow Sword’!
"You’re not the only one with immortal-grade weapons!" Gui Guzi raised an eyebrow and waved his right hand slightly.
The next moment, at the edge of the River of Blood, a vast expanse of bloody light surged, coalescing into a ten-thousand-zhang-tall blood dragon. It exuded a dense killing aura, radiating a terrifying might capable of slaying heavens, earth, gods, and buddhas!
This blood dragon was precisely the artifact spirit of the Executioner’s Tower!
The Xuan Armor Army had set out from the Linlong Dao Domain, fighting step by step to the banks of the River of Blood. Naturally, all the territory they conquered became part of the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court. The Executioner’s Tower, bound to the dynasty’s Fortune, could manifest in any corner of the Qin Dynasty’s lands. As State Preceptor, Gui Guzi could also manipulate the power of Fortune to wield the Executioner’s Tower.
"Executioner’s Tower, slash!" Gui Guzi commanded softly. The blood dragon transformed into a streak of saber qi. With a piercing, bloody glow, it slashed towards the Golden Dragon Scissors.
"This persistent specter!"
Atop a towering mountain peak somewhere, the Emperor Ancestor’s figure appeared. His face was pale, and he looked somewhat disheveled. For the past ten-odd days, he had been constantly fleeing, and his injuries had yet to heal. He turned, glanced back, and seeing he had momentarily shaken off Li Bai, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The power of the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court is truly formidable!
Gazing into the distance from his high vantage point, the Emperor Ancestor looked towards the Wilderness Bull Demon City. Sensing the overwhelming energies, he was struck with shock and bewilderment. For origınal chapters go to novelFirｅ.net
If the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court is so powerful, how can I ever seek revenge?
"Who’s there?" Suddenly, the Emperor Ancestor’s gaze turned cold. Looking at the Void several miles away, he abruptly drew the ’Golden Crow Sword’. A Golden Crow flew out and slashed fiercely, tearing everything apart.
"I have something to discuss with you!"
The Void shattered, and a golden ancient book flew out, emitting a boundless scholarly aura, like the Literature Star descending to the mortal world. It shattered the Golden Crow’s Sword Qi and conjured a spatial teleportation wormhole.
The Book of the Sage of Literature?
A flash of surprise crossed the Emperor Ancestor’s eyes. Everyone knew that the Saint Heaven Institute possessed a Primordial Spiritual Treasure called the ’Book of the Sage of Literature’, a treasure belonging to one of the Supremes of the Ancient Times, the Literary Brilliance Supreme. In the current age, only one person could use the ’Book of the Sage of Literature’—the Path-Seeking Elder!
After some hesitation, the Emperor Ancestor gritted his teeth, entered the spatial passage, and vanished.
A short while after he left, Li Bai arrived, flying on his sword. He looked puzzled; upon tracking the Emperor Ancestor here, he had suddenly lost all connection to him.
Strange! Such a dense scholarly aura. A powerful practitioner must have passed through here!
Li Bai carefully surveyed his surroundings and made a significant discovery.
The only powerful practitioners of such arts in the Middle Region are from the Saint Heaven Institute and the Hidden Treasure Institute. It seems someone is getting impatient!
With a cold smile, Li Bai habitually took a sip of wine, his face alight with intoxication.
As the saying goes: wine holds true sentiment, wine holds life, wine holds the universe, and wine even more so holds the jianghu’s exhilarating vendettas, its life and death, its partings and reunions!
After enjoying this satisfying drink, then I’ll resume the hunt for the Emperor Ancestor!
Prey must eventually be caught by the hunter!
Perhaps, I can even bait a bigger fish!
Will this battle be the one where I attest to my Dao?
Outside the City of War Tiger Demons, Bai Qi stood, bloodsword in hand, gazing upon the demon race’s domain, his heart filled with surging murderous intent.
Ever since he decided to stop slaughter with slaughter, to annihilate the foreign races, he had vaguely sensed the true essence of the Dao! And now, as he drew closer to the Ten Thousand Demons Saint’s Court, his desire to comprehend the Dao was stronger, more distinct than ever before! It was as if he could touch the Dao with a simple reach of his hand!
