"Kill!"
The shouts that shook the four directions, the bloody scene of the battlefield, countless Iron Lion soldiers fell unwillingly.
The Han army's formation shifted in an orderly manner, rapidly cutting through the battlefield, gradually gnawing away. The Iron Lion army, having lost its commander, was swiftly bloodied by the Han soldiers' blades, suffering more than half casualties in less than a moment!
"Roar!"
The Azure Dragon formation condensed again. At this moment, the Azure Dragon was entwined with wisps of blood energy. Dragon roars reverberated through the blood-soaked heavens, and with a single claw strike, sharp and powerful azure lights flowed between its claws!
It fiercely tore towards a vice-general at the first level of the Tongtian realm in the void!
"Screech!"
The vice-general's face suddenly turned pale, and he let out a shrill scream. Puffs of blood mist exploded from his chest. His chest was a bloody mess, and his body was flung out into the void. He looked at the giant claw, which no longer had azure light spreading from it, and let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.
Thankfully, he survived!
"Swish!"
Suddenly, a streak of azure light appeared again from the left, and a giant claw fiercely tore towards him again with furious might!
"Boom!"
With his Yuan force weakened, he was utterly incapable of resisting the Azure Dragon's giant claw. As his body flipped, it directly exploded.
"Roar!"
The Azure Dragon's body tore through the blood mist, roared furiously at the Kui Niu in the void, and then plunged towards the ground!
"Roar!"
The Kui Niu followed closely behind, with divine lightning from the nine heavens above its head and strong winds howling behind it, it fiercely slammed down towards the Iron Lion army on the ground!
In an instant, blood rained down. Countless Iron Lion soldiers were filled with despair as the ten-thousand-zhang Azure Dragon and the one-legged monstrous beast descended upon them with the force of collapsing heavens and earth.
In just a moment, the less than four hundred thousand Iron Lion soldiers were again reduced by more than half. Heavy rain poured down from the void, obscuring vision beyond a hundred paces. The torrential rain diluted and washed away the blood on the ground!
Before long, a swift river had formed on the ground, muddy with blood and soil!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The four hundred thousand Han soldiers, relying on their cold steel, roared to the heavens. The Azure Dragon surged from the ground, and the Kui Niu stood between heaven and earth, its single foot treading on thousands of withered bones!
Azure lights filled the air, and monstrous roars stretched for a thousand miles. The Iron Lion army on the battlefield fell like autumn leaves before a strong wind, unable to fight back.
Empress Weiyang looked at Cen Peng and Qi Jiguang in the void, who stood like gods and demons, and was filled with shock!
How long had it been for the Great Han? Only half a year, and it had risen from merely suppressing the small Blood Sun Dynasty to now taking over Weiyang and becoming a dynasty that propped up the spine of humanity!
How powerful were Tie Gucheng and Tie Guzhi? If they hadn't held back, how could she have survived to this day? But with just a glance from them, she felt as if she were carrying a great abyss!
"Weiyang!"
"Die!"
A blood-soaked Tongtian realm expert of the Iron Lion race roared at Empress Weiyang, his eyes filled with rage.
A bloody beam shot straight towards Empress Weiyang. The pressure was no longer the playful intent of Tie Fan. The strike came as if pronouncing a death sentence, causing her heart to tighten and her limbs to go cold!
"Presumptuous!"
Qi Jiguang punched out, mountains and rivers rotated. The punch directly annihilated the blood-soaked blade energy!
The fist shadow moved rapidly, losing no momentum. With a single punch, it landed directly on the Tongtian realm expert.
"Boom!"
Qi Jiguang stood in the void like a divine being, his golden fists sweeping in all directions, his long saber at his waist never drawn!
"Great Han..."
Empress Weiyang's expression was somewhat dazed. It had always been her greatest hope for humanity to produce supreme experts, but when it all happened, her heart felt as if it were shattering like ice, making it difficult to accept.
The impact Great Han had on her was too great!
In just half a year, Great Han had risen above all forces in the Southwest Region, and could even annihilate the Iron Lion race with ease!
Tongtian Realm experts!!
Ten thousand years!
When had the human territory ever produced a Tongtian realm expert!!
Although she had always resented humanity's infighting, which led to the weakening of the human territory, even with peaceful coexistence, she knew how difficult it was to ascend to the Tongtian realm!
The Tongtian realm was the backbone of the Emperor dynasties more than ten thousand years ago. These were the supreme experts that Emperor dynasties could command!
She couldn't imagine that at her first meeting with the Han King half a year ago, the strongest expert by the Han King's side was only on par with her, Weiyang!
After one Emperor dynasty secret treasure excavation, the gap only grew wider!
It was like a vast chasm!
Just now, she had received a report from Liang Zhao, stating that Great Han had already unified the Four Great Dynasties. Four-fifths of the human territory in the Southwest Region had already been designated as Great Han territory!
The Lieyan Rhinoceros and Blood Python tribes, these were existences on par with the Iron Lion race. Great Han had managed to utterly destroy these two tribes in a single battle!
"Great Han..."
"Han King..."
This speed of rise was too fast, so fast that it was hard for her to believe!
In less than a year, a dynasty had risen in the Southwest Sea region, then annihilated two great dynasties. In half a year, it had also produced supreme experts for the human territory!
Could it be a remnant of an Emperor dynasty?
As her mind wandered, the million-strong army of the Iron Lion race had all turned to withered bones. Qi Jiguang, Cen Peng, Chen Tang, and Zhou Yuji, the four Tongtian realm experts, slowly walked onto the broken city wall.
Qi Jiguang and the others looked at the Empress of the human territory, who had toiled tirelessly, and bowed respectfully to Empress Weiyang with admiration.
A mere woman, who had achieved great things, surpassing many rulers of the imperial dynasties!
"Qi Jiguang, Commander of Great Han's Kui Niu Legion!"
"Chen Tang, Commander of Great Han's Azure Dragon Legion!"
"Cen Peng, Vice-Commander of Great Han's Azure Dragon Legion!"
"Zhou Yuji, Vanguard General of Great Han's Kui Niu Legion!"
"Greetings, Empress Weiyang!"
Seeing the four Tongtian realm experts bow deeply to her, Empress Weiyang's expression was complicated. She felt unworthy to accept this bow, as she had not led humanity in expelling the ancient wilderness!
"Generals, how many soldiers does Great Han possess?"
"Empress, Great Han possesses countless more than us!"
"Great Han's millions of soldiers are enough to protect the human territory!"
Qi Jiguang said calmly and softly. In the past, such words would have been scorned and despised by countless humans in the Southwest Region, but now, as they were spoken, everyone in Weiyang's faction was deeply shaken, some not even daring to look directly at Qi Jiguang and the others!
Powerful!
Great Han was too powerful!
"Great Han!"
Empress Weiyang raised her head slightly and looked at Qi Jiguang and the others. As if relieved, her imperial aura suddenly dissipated. She looked at them and revealed a gratified smile. The human territory had hope!
What she had longed for had not come too late!
The efforts of the successive human emperors of the Weiyang lineage had not been in vain!
"The Weiyang lineage wishes to join Great Han!"
As Empress Weiyang spoke, intending to kneel, Qi Jiguang quickly reached out and stopped her, saying calmly, "Human Emperor, there is no need for this. The prosperity of the human territory is also the wish of our Great Han's Han King!"
"Human Emperor, would you be willing to enter Chang'an to meet our King?"
Empress Weiyang's expression faltered for a moment, then she broke into a smile and said, "Yes!"
