"Reporting to Marquis, twenty li ahead is the city where the Great Han generals Meng Tian, leading the Azure Dragon Legion, Sky-Tearing Ox Legion, and Qiong Qi Legion, have stationed their three great legions."
In a city twenty li away from where Meng Tian and his forces were stationed, a soldier from the Holy Origin Dynasty knelt on one knee, respectfully reporting to Ying Tao, Ying Da, and Ying Wu, the three Royal Marquises from the Imperial Clan, who stood solemnly in the center.
Ying Tao, Ying Da, and Ying Wu, the three Royal Marquises from the Imperial Clan, were all at the second layer of the Heaven Melting Realm, their combat power slightly inferior to Ying Ji.
"Are Li Bai and Chen Qiu present?" Ying Da, seated on a chair to the left, frowned as he looked at the soldier below.
Initially, when the Great Han declared war on the three dynasties, they were reluctant to follow Ying Zhong's orders to lead troops into battle against the Great Han. This was because Ying Ji had been killed by Zhang Liao, and they three were no match for the Great Han. However, upon learning that Zhang Liao was leading troops to attack Blood Sun, the three of them immediately decided that they must avenge Ying Ji.
"Reporting to Marquis, Li Bai did not accompany the army on this campaign."
"Hmph!"
"Without Zhang Liao, Li Bai, Chen Qiu, and others of their kind, they dare to lead troops to invade our Holy Origin. Brother, what are we waiting for? Let's depart and crush these ants from the dynasties, leaving none alive." Ying Wu was immediately enraged and pleased. He had never even heard of Meng Tian or Han Qinghu. Everyone only knew of the Great Han's three Heaven Melting Realm powerhouses: Zhang Liao, Li Bai, and Li Wenzhong.
"Good!"
Upon hearing the soldier's report, Ying Tao, seated in the center, also showed a smile. Although the Holy Origin Dynasty had the most legions in the war against the three dynasties, none of their generals caught their eye.
"Boom!"
He stood up and took hold of the mountain-splitting axe planted beside him. A cold blue light streaked across the void. He coldly looked in the direction of the Great Han's three legions stationed twenty li away. Twenty li was but a blink of an eye!
"Notify the army to advance towards the enemy and allow this Marquis to devour these three fat morsels in one go!"
...
"Reporting to Marquis, that is the city where the Great Han's three great legions are stationed." Not long after, Ying Tao and the other two led their large army to approach Meng Tian's position. Three military flags fluttered in the void on the city walls.
Ying Tao, Ying Da, and Ying Wu exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disdain for the Great Han. Having Zhang Liao, Li Bai, and Li Wenzhong was already a great fortune; they didn't believe a dynasty could possess so many Heaven Melting Realm powerhouses. The city before them was like dust in their eyes.
"Buzz!!"
Ying Da, wielding a blood-red long saber, coldly stared at the quiet city. He guessed that the Great Han's Meng Tian and others, upon knowing that their three Heaven Melting Realm powerhouses were leading the troops, had already given up resistance and were awaiting their slaughter.
"Kill!"
"Decimate all the Great Han soldiers for this Marquis, leaving none alive!"
Ying Da pointed his long saber towards the city ahead.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Countless soldiers of the Holy Origin Dynasty roared in fury. A mere dynasty, without Heaven Melting Realm powerhouses leading their troops, dared to invade their imperial territory. They deserved to die!
In an instant, they roared madly, their faces flushed and their eyes bloodshot. The dense aura of battle, unique to the battlefield, erupted from their bodies. The deep red, slightly black aura surged into the sky.
Since Ying Zhong inherited the position of Human Emperor, although he occasionally lost the imperial aura, almost every incident had the Great Han Dynasty's shadow. This anger towards the Great Han Dynasty erupted at this moment. They charged towards the city like madmen, each wanting to kill as many Great Han soldiers as possible under their sabers, venting their collective rage.
As Ying Da gave the order, the army moved like thunder. Each soldier of the Holy Origin Dynasty was at the Grandmaster realm, their primal energy constantly condensing into their sharp blades. They were confident that if even a single Great Han soldier appeared, one saber strike would cleave through all directions.
"Brother, you stay here and command. My second brother and I will go and fight!" Ying Da said with a smile to Ying Tao, then stepped into the air with Ying Wu, hovering above the city and looking down.
Upon seeing this, the two burst into laughter. The city appeared to be in utter chaos, with Great Han soldiers scrambling about in disarray.
What amused them even more was that on the city walls, there were only a few Great Han soldiers, each with a look of terror, unable to even hold their weapons steady, staring in fear at the dense, iron-blooded army below.
On the city walls were soldiers captured by Meng Tian and others when they conquered the Holy Origin Dynasty. They had been silenced and dressed in the armor of Great Han soldiers, placed on the city walls as a ruse to sow panic and lure the enemy.
A group of soldiers wearing Great Han armor were not genuinely terrified, but rather unable to speak. They wanted their brothers below to notice them, nervously and excitedly dropping their weapons and waving their hands.
However, this scene only made the approaching Holy Origin Dynasty soldiers below even more frenzied, their fighting spirit burning brighter.
"Hahaha!"
"Kill!"
Ying Da and Ying Wu sneered, looking at the comically acting Great Han guards on the city walls. They immediately commanded their army, let out a roar, and launched the assault on the city.
"Kill!!"
Countless soldiers of the Holy Origin Dynasty immediately roared to the heavens and charged forward. Gazing at the Great Han soldiers on the city walls who were constantly shaking their heads, they let out excited, ferocious laughter.
Before the army even arrived, the Great Han soldiers were already so pathetic. Where did they get the courage to trample upon the territory of the Holy Origin Dynasty!
"Kill!"
Their eyes gleamed with fierce light, and their sabers emitted a faint red glow, eager to devour the blood of the Great Han soldiers.
"Mmm... Mmm..." The mute soldiers in Great Han armor, watching the attacking army below charging like madmen, looked on the verge of collapse. They desperately tried to make a sound, but only soft hums escaped their lips.
"Kill!"
Ying Wu instantly became enraged. His tiger fists erupted with chilling cold light. Ying Ji was the guide on his cultivation path. His pair of fierce and powerful tiger fists, having inherited Ying Ji's true teachings, possessed a killing aura that made one's scalp tingle even more than Ying Ji's.
With one punch, the mountains and forests roared!
The White Tiger Demon Fist descended upon the city gate with a thunderous roar, summoning lightning and thunder, erupting in dust and smoke.
"Rumble!!"
The city gate, made of some unknown material, shattered. Within the debris, faint traces of primal energy could be seen. It was clear that the material of this city gate was extraordinary.
"Clang!!"
"Ding!!"
The shattered fragments flew out. The soldiers of the Holy Origin Dynasty raised their weapons, deflecting the debris. Upon contact, a metallic sound could be heard.
The fragments, forcefully deflected by soldiers at the Grandmaster realm, remained intact without a single scratch, crashing elsewhere.
A Grandmaster's attack could not even damage the city gate debris, proving the city gate material to be of exceptional quality, allowing the Holy Origin Dynasty to forge it into the gate of their city fortress.
