The old man with white eyebrows let out a scream as his snake head was crushed by Geng Yan's halberd, spurting boundless blood and white brain matter!
"Kill!"
"The three routes will converge and press the Green Ghost Snake army south!"
The eastern, western, and central battlefields instantly merged. A vast front, stretching for a hundred miles and crossing the entirety of the east, west, and center, unleashed its force, driving madly towards the south. Blood light streaked across, snake heads flowed in rivers of blood, and the unique stench of snake blood filled the air everywhere!
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The deployment area of the three million-strong army, with over two million tents, was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire. The routed Green Ghost Snake creatures began to flee south, their cries of slaughter growing louder, relentlessly assaulting the hearts of the fleeing beings!
"The Azure Dragon Palace army has been routed and is fleeing. Order Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang to lead a million soldiers disguised as refugees, heading south. Cross the northern gate of the Azure Dragon Palace. Remember to have them travel south while spreading the word, so that this bloody battle is thoroughly publicized!" Geng Yan retracted his halberd and said to his adjutant.
The mere defeat of three million troops was not enough to shake the important northern cities below. They needed to add fuel to the fire, to make this bloody battle appear even more tragic, and to highlight the might of the Yun clan's army. Only then could the beings in the cities along the route feel despair and immense fear!
"Clean up the battlefield, tally the casualties!"
...
"Roar!"
Above the million-strong Black Water army, a monstrous beast, the Ya Yu, manifested on the condensed black spear, roaring in the void. Its released blood-qi shook the heavens and earth!
The entire Southern Water mountain range trembled!
The Ya Yu's footsteps did not cease as it roamed within the coverage of the black spear's intent. With every step, the intent of the thousand-zhang black spear grew stronger.
"Again!"
Ge Lian, gripping his long spear, roared. Streams of black gas directly drew upon a hundred thousand soldiers and imbued them into the battle formation, radiating fierce light, and a black radiance that obscured the sky!
In an instant, boundless spear intent flickered in the void, sweeping in all directions. A red line condensed on the physical body of every Black Water soldier, piercing straight into the heavens, merging into the black spear!
Boom!
The Vermilion Bird, merged with Wen Yuan, manifested a pair of thousand-zhang wings behind Wen Yuan. They shimmered and fused with the twin maces held by Wen Yuan. Wen Yuan, and the hundred thousand cavalry behind him, erupted with infinite scarlet divine light. These scarlet divine lights ignited flames, engulfing the sky, and all rushed into Wen Yuan's body. His fiery eyes could melt all things in the world!
"The flesh and blood of powerful humans must be delicious!"
Ge Lian roared, holding his long spear. The battle formation, containing a million soldiers, turned blood-red. The Ya Yu on the thousand-zhang black spear, its eyes radiating divine light that pierced the heavens, watched as Ge Lian, wielding his long spear and leading the battle formation's condensed thousand-zhang black spear, directly smashed down towards the scarlet world opposite!
"Kill!!"
The thousand-zhang spear descended with fury. The very void shattered like bricks and stones along its path, and lightning flashes miles long could not keep up with its speed!
"I am here, feel free to try!"
Wen Yuan roared. The twin maces in his hand burst forth with streaks of scarlet flames. With a thunderous boom, the thousand-zhang wings transformed into enormous scarlet maces, replacing Wen Yuan's weapons. With a high-pitched cry, Wen Yuan, despite his seven-foot frame, dragged the colossal thousand-zhang scarlet maces and struck directly at the tip of the thousand-zhang spear. Instantly, scarlet divine light and black divine light clashed, obliterating the heavens!
The two torrents of power surged terrifyingly, destroying everything. The faces of the hundred thousand Vermilion Bird soldiers turned pale. The million elite Black Water soldiers coughed up blood, and streams of black gas began to dissipate. The torrents transformed into a powerful, unstoppable storm that swept through both armies. In an instant, ten thousand Vermilion Bird soldiers turned into mist, and three hundred thousand Black Water elites were consumed by the scarlet divine fire, turning into ashes!
One hundred thousand against one million!
At the cost of ten thousand soldiers' lives, they took down thirty thousand of the Black Water elites!
Even so, Wen Yuan, witnessing this, felt immense grief!
"For the revenge of ten thousand soldiers, I will take all your lives!"
Wen Yuan roared, his scarlet divine fire-burning hair fluttering. He extended his hands, once again grasping the scarlet twin maces condensed from the Vermilion Bird's wings. Scarlet divine fire blazed across the sky, and the world was awash in scarlet. The Southern Water mountain range seemed to have been transformed into a sea of fire, and the sky above the entire mountain range was scorched, its terrifying might causing the heavens to crackle!
"Arrogant!"
Ge Lian was even more enraged. A million troops had failed to sweep away a mere hundred thousand soldiers. He raised his long spear and, leading the battle formation, smashed down again. The path ahead was pierced through the void.
"Ah!"
He roared, his armor on his arms cracking. The blood-qi of the seventy thousand soldiers behind him continuously merged into his body. The Ya Yu in the sky roared madly!
Streams of blood-qi enveloped Ge Lian. The black spear in the sky instantly split into ten thousand!
Suddenly, Wen Yuan could no longer see the sky. All he saw were thousands of thousand-zhang black spears, causing the void to tremble violently!
Upon seeing this, Wen Yuan gradually became excited. With an army of a hundred thousand, he engaged a million. Facing the army-condensed spears from the void, he tightly gripped the twin maces manifested from the Vermilion Bird's wings and swung them out!
Black spears were shattered by the scarlet twin maces, and black divine light was refined by the scarlet divine fire. Two-thirds of the Southern Water mountain range now completely collapsed. Yang Youji led his army to retreat from the battlefield, and the Black Water soldiers fighting them frantically fled that terrifying place, which seemed like an abyss!
Ge Lian!
Wen Yuan!
The two, manipulating their armies' formations, like immortals, ruled the heavens and earth. Scarlet divine fire burned in the void, and world-destroying black soldiers swept across all realms. Armies clashed, and terrifying divine power continuously swept over the remaining scattered rocks!
"Kill!"
Wen Yuan roared, his colossal scarlet twin maces sweeping out. Attacks from hundreds, even thousands, of black spears could not harm Wen Yuan in the slightest!
"Worthy of a million soldiers!!"
From a distance, Yang Youji watched Wen Yuan's god-like, demon-like figure. Ten thousand Vermilion Bird soldiers had intercepted the Black Water's million-strong army. The fearless fighting spirit in his eyes made even Yang Youji feel how terrifying this fierce general from the late Three Kingdoms and early Western Jin periods was!
"Destroy!"
The scarlet twin maces swept across the sky, shattering countless black spears. The sky was filled with splattering black divine light. Wen Yuan, holding the scarlet twin maces, unleashed a full-force strike!
Boom!
The seventy thousand-strong army shook again. Uncountable numbers perished, and streams of blood mist enveloped them all!
The battle formation shattered!
The Ya Yu's phantom dispersed!
"Kill!"
