Qian Jinwen watched the Fire Qilin, which commanded the submission of all fires in the void, his eyes turning blood red. His other pair of closed eyes pulsed with faint red light.
His gaze shifted downwards, towards the weakened army. His heart hardened. The Four-Eyed Clan had abandoned the Eastern Barren Continent, and he had nowhere else to retreat.
"Open!"
"Open!"
"Open!"
Qian Jinwen roared several times. Deep red fissures spread across his face, and streams of vital blood flowed from his heart, gathering in his finally closed eyes.
"Bang!"
With a fierce stomp of his right foot, within moments, a hundred thousand of the five hundred thousand strong army turned into bloody mist. The remaining two pairs of closed giant eyes in the void greedily absorbed the endless bloody energy.
"How is this different from the Demon Race!"
Guo Xin watched the wisps of bloody mist soaring into the sky. This scene, he thought, was no less terrifying than the Five Sun incident of years past.
"General, stop him! This army is not of the pure Four-Eyed Clan. This formation is the primordial formation of the Four-Eyed Clan. For the formation to condense, it requires the pure blood essence of the Four-Eyed Clan."
"One pair of eyes opening is already the limit for this army. If this continues, all five hundred thousand soldiers will perish!"
"The Xiling Imperial Dynasty is at its last gasp. This invaluable army must not be lost further. How precious is the Heavenly Martial Army!"
"General, quickly stop him!"
Si Kongcheng watched, his heart bleeding. The Heavenly Martial Army was exceptionally precious, a symbol of the profound heritage of a top-tier power.
"Hahaha!"
"You want to stop this general? It's too late!"
"You will all accompany my Xiling Imperial Dynasty to the grave!"
"Open!"
Qian Jinwen roared again. Another hundred thousand Heavenly Martial soldiers shattered, their concentrated blood essence rising to the sky and merging into the last pair of giant eyes. As the blood essence integrated, the pair of eyes merely opened a tiny slit.
"Not enough!"
"Again!"
"Quick, stop him!"
Si Kongcheng yelled.
"Qilin Legion!"
Guo Xin, holding the banner of the Qilin Legion, spread flames and roared to the heavens!
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The tens of thousands of soldiers in the Qilin Legion gripped their mo dao tightly. These weapons were brought by the system after Guo Xin's emergence and were fully equipped for the Qilin Legion.
It could be said that these mo dao were one of the Qilin Legion's trump cards!
"Roar!"
The Qilin roared!
The flaming Qilin Legion banner flowed rapidly in Guo Xin's hands, transforming into a mo dao stained red as if by blood.
As the mo dao took shape, the Qilin roared!
A ten-thousand-zhang mo dao condensed in the void, accompanied by the force of descending heavenly fire!
The Qilin's angry roars, coupled with the sound of the blade, reverberated through the firmament!
"Open!"
Qian Jinwen's expression tensed. With another forceful surge, another hundred thousand Heavenly Martial soldiers turned into blood essence and merged into the giant eyes.
The giant eyes were half-open, seemingly powerless!
"Slash!"
At this moment, Guo Xin, wielding the Qilin Mo Dao, swung with all his might. The blade light of the tens of thousands of Qilin Legion soldiers crisscrossed the sky!
"Boom!"
A blade hum sounded. The ten-thousand-zhang mo dao traversed the void, as if all the myriad fires of the Cangyuan World had converged.
With a single slash, the void tore open, revealing layers of golden seals once more. Outside the Cangyuan World, the great Han figure who sat cross-legged scratched his head, looking at the gradually closing space of the Cangyuan World. He couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on?"
The blade's radiance swept across!
The sharp, fiery energy fell upon the four eyes in the void. There was no great roar, no surge of yuan force.
There was only a downpour of blood, cascading from the void, splashing so much it seemed it could drown the earth.
"No!"
As the sword light swept past, the four eyes burst. Qian Jinwen, who controlled the formation, had his four eyes ignited by layers of flames, which quickly turned his head into ash. The heavenly fire continued, engulfing him completely!
With the Qilin Mo Dao descending, the Fifth Layer Venerable had no power to retaliate and perished on the spot!
Si Kongcheng grabbed Ji Hongwen's shoulder in fright, cold sweat streaming down his face. The moment the mo dao appeared in the sky, he felt death, a powerlessness akin to facing the first cave master of the Fire Cloud Cave, a top-tier Venerable.
"Strong!"
"Too powerful!"
"With such a formidable army, the Great Han Dynasty can suppress all enemies in the Eastern Barren!"
Ji Hongwen's eyes were glazed over, staring blankly at the continuously closing nine heavens. That streak of red, brilliant as divine light.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
......
"Crack!"
A crisp sound, like shattering glass, echoed lightly.
"Jian Yong!"
Inside the main tent of the Sword God Sacred Land in the West Sea Plain, Jian Dong, the patriarch of the Jian Clan, looked at the cracking inch of sword energy with confusion.
"Jian Yong has fallen!"
Jian Feiyu stepped forward, his brow furrowed as he looked at the fractured sword energy. "Patriarch, the Great Elder was ordered to guard Sanyuan Pass and keep a close eye on Emperor Chi Ye. Now Jian Yong has fallen to the east of Emperor Chi Ye, it's likely that the ancestor of the Chi Ye Imperial Dynasty made a move!"
"It should be!"
Jian Dong gazed at the sword energy that had shattered into nothingness and said in a deep voice, "With Jian Xi and his million sword cultivators guarding, Emperor Chi Ye would have absolutely no chance to make a move. Jian Yong's death must be the work of that old bone."
"Good. He has finally deigned to show himself!"
Jian Dong looked in the direction of the Chi Ye Imperial Dynasty, his eyes profound. "Go, report this matter to the Grand Elder. With the ancestor of the Chi Ye Imperial Dynasty making a move, it's time to cast the net!"
"What are the movements of the Xiling Imperial Dynasty?"
"None for now."
Jian Feiyu shook his head. Since a few days ago, the spies lurking in the Xiling Imperial Dynasty had not sent any more news.
"It doesn't matter!"
Jian Dong waved his hand. "The elite forces of the Xiling Imperial Dynasty are currently bogged down in the West Sea Plain. This battle should see the complete annihilation of the Nan Tian Family and the Xiling Imperial Dynasty."
"I wonder if the Grand Elder has come out of seclusion. You send disciples back to the Sword God Sacred Land to check."
......
"Quick!"
"Don't let any of them escape!"
"Clang!"
Sword light crisscrossed. Jin Yiwei soldiers, clad in flying fish robes and wielding embroidered spring blades, had completely sealed off an area ten miles northwest of the Xiling Imperial Dynasty's capital.
This was the convergence point of the Xiling Imperial Dynasty's teleportation arrays. Upon learning that the Xiling Emperor had fled, Gao Changgong immediately ordered three armies to advance.
The first army, led by General Dugu Xin, commanded his troops to blockade the eastern territories, preventing the escape of spies from various forces.
This was not out of fear of information leakage, but rather to take advantage of the chaos in the Xiling Imperial Dynasty to uproot and eliminate all lurking spy organizations of various powers.
The second army, led by General Hua Mulan, commanded his troops to advance from the north towards the west, consolidating control over the vast western territories.
The third army, led by General Fei Yingdong, continued to garrison the northern border.
Gao Changgong, leading the remaining troops, first headed towards the capital and simultaneously ordered the Jin Yiwei embedded within the capital to seal off the teleportation array convergence point.
"Where do you think you're going!"
A cold glint flashed. Jin Yiwei soldiers in flying fish robes, a picture of their pursuit, killed the spies from various factions everywhere, leaving no survivors, all executed on the spot!
