"General, the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty is fifty li ahead!"
Southwest of the Great Yan Dynasty's capital, two hundred thousand soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion stained the desolate land with their blood. In the center of the army, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Chen Gong advanced side by side.
Zhang Liao had been leading the Vermilion Bird Legion into Great Yan for several days. As the army marched forward, they encountered the vanguard of the Heavenly Devouring Greedy Wolf army, numbering one hundred thousand. Zhang Liao and Xu Huang had not yet made a move, but the Vermilion Bird formation had already slain the commander of this army.
News of the complete annihilation of the vanguard reached the Great Yan Dynasty's capital. Lang Di, who was preparing to dispatch troops, felt a tightening in his chest. The vanguard had been wiped out so quickly after their departure. Vigilant, he hastily surveyed his surroundings and suddenly realized that this place had become an isolated city!
Everywhere he looked, there were human armies clad in crimson armor. He immediately began deploying troops to defend the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.
"Have the armies of Gongsun Zan and Gan Ning arrived?"
Chen Gong narrowed his eyes. The closer they got to the Great Yan Dynasty's capital, the more potent the aura of blood became.
"Replying to the strategist, General Gongsun Zan and General Gan Ning have reached their designated positions!"
"Good!"
Zhang Liao held the reins in one hand and rested the other on the sword at his waist. He said calmly, "Today, we shall sweep away the Heavenly Devouring Greedy Wolf tribe and claim all of Great Yan's territory!"
The Blood Python army that had occupied Tian Yue was completely annihilated. On the northern frontier battlefield of the Cang Mu Dynasty, three armies had, in a single battle, wiped out the Raging Flame Rhinoceros and Blood Python armies, totaling a million soldiers. The territories of the Four Great Dynasties were now all under the control of Great Han!
All the armies had achieved great victories and accumulated immense merit!
Today's battle would see the Vermilion Bird Legion once again renowned throughout the land!
"General Xu Huang, unfurl the battle formation!"
"Yes!"
Xu Huang responded solemnly. He galloped his horse, raising the Vermilion Bird Legion's banner high. Streaks of Southern Bright Fire burned fiercely across the desolate land.
"Vermilion Bird Legion!"
"Hoo!"
The two hundred thousand soldiers roared like thunder. Their cultivation, all at the Return to Origin realm, erupted, and layers of flames began to burn, forging a sea of fire that instantly swept across the sky!
The terrifying flames billowed, obscuring the sunlight!
As the flames ascended, the entire Great Yan Dynasty's capital was engulfed in heavenly fire. All things were submerged, and the clouds dispersed. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Vermilion Bird Legion!"
A collective roar echoed from all directions, startling the two hundred thousand Heavenly Devouring Greedy Wolf soldiers within the Great Yan Dynasty's capital into a state of panic.
Lang Di stood in the void. He saw a sea of fire stretching out in all directions. This fire was peculiar, unlike any he had seen before. Gazing at the surging flames, his eyes twitched, feeling an invisible pressure bearing down, capable of tearing him apart.
Four Vermilion Birds then soared into the sky from all directions. With a flap of their wings, heavenly fire cascaded down!
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura directly tore through the sky, enveloping the void above the Great Yan Dynasty's army. The lingering bloody mist was completely vaporized, and the long-lost sunlight did not grace the earth.
Instead, it grew increasingly redder!
The four Vermilion Birds roared at the sky, instantly transforming into wisps of flame that converged above the Great Yan Dynasty's capital!
The blazing flames illuminated the land, causing it to crack and split. Deep fissures spread across dozens of li, as if the ground would collapse at any moment!
"Crack! Crack!!"
The scorching heat caused the already strained city walls to crack, with dense fissures crisscrossing them.
The entire city began to tremble slightly.
"Kill!"
Xu Huang and Zhou Tai stood in the void. One was ready for a fiery battle, while the other craved the head of a Heavenly Devouring Greedy Wolf expert to make his name known throughout the land.
Xu Huang strode through the air, his eyes fixed on Lang Di. Zhou Tai grinned, giving up the biggest prize. He no longer needed such fame. Xu Huang had led troops for over a dozen days without distinguishing himself, and he needed this head more.
Xu Huang gave a slight nod to Zhou Tai. Gripping his long axe, he swung it down. The axe light was immense, its cold gleam piercing through the void. The city wall beneath Lang Di directly crumbled, sending debris flying!
"How dare you, human!"
Lang Di looked at the figure in the void, who was like a god and a demon. A mere cold axe strike had broken through his Yuan power defense. With one strike, just a wisp of axe light, it could traverse ten thousand li of void and cleave the earth!
Fury ignited in his eyes, and killing intent flashed. He clenched his right hand, and a blood-drenched, bloodthirsty spear instantly materialized. He brandished his spear and charged through the void, pressing down on Xu Huang. Rolling blood fiends emanated from it, stained with the blood of humans!
Xu Huang's expression remained unchanged. He tightly gripped his battle axe with both hands and swung it down fiercely!
With a thunderous roar, axe light crisscrossed the sky, cleaving through the nine heavens. It shattered Lang Di's spear light and, bypassing Lang Di, directly tore apart a Heavenly Passage realm expert standing not far behind him!
Blood mist splattered, and mangled bodies flew!
"You..."
Lang Di looked at the bloody mist behind him, his face growing even redder. This was not just the loss of a Heavenly Passage realm expert; it was a grave insult to his clan leader's dignity!
Before his eyes, his enemy had broken through his defenses and slain his clansman. Where was his clan leader's reputation?
The bloodthirsty spear in his hand pulsed with sharp brilliance. His face gradually turned pale from red, and his ferocious features stiffened. His blood qi surged out once more with rage!
Xu Huang's expression was icy. He glanced at the blood mist behind Lang Di, devoid of emotion. He casually turned his head to look at Lang Di, who was glaring at him, and couldn't help but sneer, "Your head, this general will have it!"
With a horizontal swing of his battle axe, a wisp of axe light tore through the void, striking down with a swift blow!
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, a figure, trailing a thick plume of blood, shot out. His body gradually transformed into the true form of a Heavenly Devouring Greedy Wolf, his eyes filled with unwillingness and fear. Like a streak of blood, he slammed heavily into the ground!
"Clan Leader!"
"Clan Leader!"
"Clan Leader!"
Countless Heavenly Devouring Greedy Wolf soldiers roared to the sky, looking at the bloodied Lang Di who had fallen to the ground. Their eyes burned with hatred, wishing they could shoot beams of blood to kill the soldiers of Great Han!
"Human, I will fight you to the death!"
"Kill!"
In the void, Xu Huang transformed into streaks of afterimages and appeared directly above the thick dust and smoke. He closed his eyes, sensing the weak Yuan power within the dense mist. The edge of his battle axe continuously nurtured a cold gleam!
"Hum~"
Suddenly, Xu Huang's eyes snapped open. He raised his battle axe vertically. His pupils twitched, as if he had seen Lang Di. He grinned, "Your head, hand it over!"
"Boom!"
An unparalleled axe light instantly tore through the dense dust and smoke, revealing Lang Di, who was gasping for breath in the deep pit. The axe light slashed down, a strike imbued with a trace of Southern Bright Fire!
"Boom!"
Lang Di struggled to lift his head, feeling the axe light above him, capable of tearing him apart. His eyes suddenly narrowed. The Heavenly Devouring Greedy Wolf soldiers watched in despair as the axe light descended!
"Screech!"
The axe light sliced across Lang Di's neck. Lang Di's body was not shattered by Xu Huang's axe light. With a single strike, his head fell to the ground!
