The rolling blood and qi surged above the ruins of Ju Feng Pass. Three deputy generals, each holding a banner, bore the blazing Nan Ming fire. Like the soul of an army, it shook the void.
Xu Chu retracted his Cloud Fire Saber. His chest heaved, calm as ever. Slaying Emperor Wu Chen and Huangfu Nian, top-tier Venerables, had not cost him much effort.
He sat cross-legged in the void, silently observing the blood-soaked battlefield. The top-tier Venerables of the Demon Race and the Four-Eyed Tribe had all perished. The Northern Continent was now devoid of tribal powerhouses to resist the sharp edge of the Han cavalry.
The pacification of the Northern Continent was the battlefield most favored by the ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The reason was simple: on the Northern Continent battlefield, the most powerful individuals of the Han Imperial Dynasty were present.
Xu Chu, a half-step Peerless Fierce General of the Han Imperial Dynasty, his combat power surpassing a crowd of top-tier Venerable heroes. This Tiger Marquis, who had once fought fiercely with Ma Chao, had finally found his footing in this other world. However, this was merely the beginning.
"Weng~~"
Xu Chu extended his right hand, and the vital energy of the entire Ju Feng Pass battlefield surged. At the place where Huangfu Nian had fallen, strands of green vital energy condensed madly, shooting into Xu Chu's palm.
"The Core Seed of the Northern Continent!"
Looking at the green Core Seed of the Continent, which resembled a seed, Xu Chu frowned and softly called out, "Where are the deputy generals!"
"General!"
The deputy general holding Xu Chu's banner stepped into the void and stood respectfully beside Xu Chu.
"Hand the Core Seed of the Continent to the Embroidered Uniform Guard to present to the Emperor!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
An hour later, the sixty thousand demon troops, who carried the hopes of the Demon Race, lay lifeless on the blood-soaked earth. The supreme overlords of the previous era were like the setting sun, feebly sustaining their final stubbornness.
"Reporting to the General, the demon army has been annihilated!"
"Assemble the army!"
Xu Chu stood up, his eyes sweeping in all directions. "The army departs for Heavenly God Mountain!"
...
At the second defense line north of the Demon Cloud Palace in the Western Continent's Demon Race, silvery-white light obscured the void, and cold saber intent flickered.
"The Human Race has truly prospered!"
Lord Gui Chen the Demon regarded the White Tiger Legion in the distance with apprehension. A million Heavenly Martial troops, uniformly equipped. This strength was enough to elevate a clan or sect to the pinnacle of the world, and this was merely one White Tiger Legion. The Han Imperial Dynasty possessed ten great legions!
"So what!"
Lord Xing Gui the Demon sneered, looking at the White Tiger Army before him. "A human power that rose in a short time. Its foundation is likely unable to support the ambitions of the Han Emperor. To launch attacks on both the Demon Race, the Barbarian Race, and the Four-Eyed Tribe simultaneously is truly arrogant!"
"Giddy up!"
He Yuanqing, wielding a giant hammer, spurred his Nirvana demonic beast beneath his legs. He rode out alone from the White Tiger Army. Wu Jie behind him had a calm expression, one hand stroking the mane of his mount, the other holding the reins.
"Halt!"
He Yuanqing arrived at the center of the two armies and roared. He slammed his twin hammers together, the resounding explosion shaking the anti-air formation above the city walls, causing faint cracks to appear. It seemed on the verge of shattering.
"He Yuanqing, Deputy General of the second army of the Han Imperial Dynasty's White Tiger Legion, is here! You..."
He Yuanqing narrowed his eyes, looking at Lords Gui Chen and Xing Gui the Demon, and sneered, "Who will come to die!"
"Human Race!!!"
Lord Xing Gui the Demon bared his teeth, glaring with fury.
"Xing Gui, do not act rashly!"
"Not act?"
Lord Xing Gui the Demon glared at Lord Gui Chen the Demon, his killing intent sharp. "Such insolence from the lowly Human Race. If we just watch, where does that leave our dignity?"
"Even if the White Tiger Legion is annihilated, when we return to the Demon Cloud Palace, we will have no face. Will Lord Tian Yi the Demon still value us?"
"Xing Gui..."
Lord Gui Chen the Demon looked worried, hurriedly grabbing Lord Xing Gui the Demon's arm and shaking his head. A nobody like He Yuanqing, and a thunderous roar was enough to make the anti-air formation barely shatter. How powerful would General Yang Ye of the Han White Tiger Legion be!
"Let go!"
Lord Xing Gui the Demon roared at Lord Gui Chen the Demon. "You can endure it, but I cannot!"
Boom!
"Human race enemy general, die by my hand!"
Lord Xing Gui the Demon broke free from Lord Gui Chen the Demon's grasp, his demonic energy surging as he charged into the void, roaring angrily, his voice shaking the surroundings!
"Heh heh!"
He Yuanqing held his twin hammers and shot into the void. Wu Jie in the distance tensed his spiritual sense, staring fixedly at Lord Gui Chen the Demon on the city wall.
As long as he dared to move, the long saber in Wu Jie's hand would descend and suppress him!
"Dare to bid me die?"
"You overestimate yourself!"
He Yuanqing's black hair vibrated in the void. The might of his giant hammer pulsed. The right hammer suddenly slammed down, the void exploding, vital energy dissipating. The fierce explosive force traversed thousands of feet, slamming towards Lord Xing Gui the Demon.
"Boom!"
The void trembled, and silver light flashed, extremely dazzling. The demons on the ground and the soldiers of the Han White Tiger Legion could not see the void clearly. They even closed their eyes for a time, not daring to look directly at the blinding silver light.
"Bang bang bang~~~"
The void tore open. He Yuanqing, wielding his giant hammer, shot out, his fierce momentum engulfing the nine heavens, his might pulsing, the void fluctuating.
"Human Race!!"
Lord Xing Gui the Demon's face turned red. The tiger's mouth on his hands cracked, and his minute muscles trembled unceasingly.
"Battle!"
He Yuanqing grinned, his giant hammer striking upwards. The fierce force was like the collapse of heaven, countless divine forces suppressing downwards!
"Crack crack crack~~~"
On the city wall, the anti-air formation was split inch by inch!
"Not good!"
Lord Gui Chen the Demon's face changed drastically. He shot out, a long spear flashing in his hand, demonic energy surging, attempting to charge into the void.
"Presumptuous!"
Wu Jie wielded his long saber and slashed, blocking Lord Gui Chen the Demon a hundred feet above the city wall.
"Battle!"
He Yuanqing's thunderous roar echoed. A giant hammer appeared in the void. The void was like a sea surface, ripples spreading out.
Heaven and earth flashed!
"Boom!"
The giant hammer slammed down, the void cracking and collapsing. Dense golden threads frantically repaired the cracks in the collapsing void.
The earth sank, and the thick city wall collapsed by tens of feet.
The void shook violently. Lord Xing Gui the Demon, with unwillingness and fear in his eyes, was sent flying backward, his head buzzing, his spiritual sense disoriented.
"Xing Gui~~~"
Lord Gui Chen the Demon blocked Wu Jie's long saber with his arm, looking at the bloodied figure flying backward, roaring frantically.
This was the first time he felt despair. The pride and sense of security that the demons' past glory had given him were shattered into pieces by the furious blows of He Yuanqing's giant hammer.
"Kill!"
The giant hammer flashed again. He Yuanqing looked coldly at Xing Gui. The giant hammer pulsed, ripples shaking the surroundings, space fracturing, the void wailing!
Boom!
Lord Xing Gui the Demon's physical body, as he flew backward, exploded into a mist of blood. The giant hammer pressed down fiercely, turning Lord Xing Gui the Demon's primordial spirit into nothingness, completely dissipating.
"Battle!"
He Yuanqing turned his head, clenched his right fist, and the giant hammer vanished. The White Tiger Legion's banner condensed, the military banner shaking the void, and the ten thousand troops roared!
