Wen Yuan scattered the military formation and ordered the great army to charge into the battlefield. Seeing that victory and defeat were decided, Yang Youji commanded his army to outflank and capture the surviving soldiers of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty.
As the battle of Nanshui drew to a close, Xian Zhen, leading seventy thousand soldiers, arrived at Shu Yun City, a border city in the eastern part of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty!
Seventy thousand!
A full seventy thousand Xuanwu Legion soldiers bypassed the battlefield of the Nanshui mountain range, their army stretching for miles, blocking the front of Shu Yun City!
"The banner of the Great Han Divine Dynasty. Good heavens, the Great General is leading his army to attack Nanshui City. These humans actually have the mind to command an army and press upon our Shu Yun!"
"They are truly an ant-like race. Don't they think about who we are? We are the two overlords of the Nanze domain, the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, backed by the four families of the Hong family. These weak humans from the Western Regions, do they really think they can contend with us after pacifying the Hengtian Immortal Dynasty!"
On the city walls of Shu Yun City, countless soldiers of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty surveyed the Xuanwu soldiers below and in the void outside the city. A deputy general pointed at Xian Zhen and mocked him.
Behind the Xuanwu Legion, divine power surged, the aftermath of the Nanshui battle. The smell of blood. Both Xian Zhen and the hidden experts of the Hun family within the city knew that the great battle had begun!
"I say General Zhang, can these humans from the Western Regions break through our city-protecting formation!"
A deputy general said to the deputy general who had just mocked Xian Zhen.
"Break it?"
The deputy general turned his head at the remark and said, "Deploy the great formation. Within three days, if they can break it, I'll admit defeat!"
"How about that?"
"I'm not going to fight with you. Humans from the Western Regions are the weakest. Everyone in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces knows that fighting with you is just seeking humiliation!"
At this moment, the space outside Shu Yun City instantly shattered for dozens of miles, revealing a huge crack burning with black gas. Xian Zhen held his bronze sword, gripping the banner of the Xuanwu Legion tightly, emitting layers of black divine radiance. A Xuanwu divine beast ten thousand feet tall materialized. The enormous body of the Xuanwu divine beast lifted all seventy thousand soldiers, radiating five-colored divine light.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, endless killing intent surged out. The terrifying aura directly shook the city-protecting formation of Shu Yun City, and even Shu Yun City itself trembled!
"Not good!"
At this moment, the mocking deputy general's pupils constricted. The deputy general beside him also turned pale. The trembling of the city-protecting formation truly shocked them. Xian Zhen, standing on the head of the Xuanwu, clad in black armor, resembling a scholarly general, had been locking onto a top-tier Great Heavenly Venerate realm aura deep within Shu Yun City.
As he had predicted, he initially thought this being, rumored to be from the Imperial lineage of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, was an unparalleled Xuan Sovereign. However, all information pointed towards the four families of the Hong family, leading Xian Zhen to identify them as experts sent by the four families of the Hong family to guard the city, possibly an unparalleled Xuan Sovereign!
But later, he analyzed further. The eight great families of the Central Province were currently engaged in a fierce battle. Experts like unparalleled Xuan Sovereigns were rare and crucial forces on the battlefield. At this critical juncture, why would the four families of the Hong family cripple themselves by sending an unparalleled Xuan Sovereign to guard this place!
Now, upon sensing the aura within the city, he couldn't help but smile. A top-tier Great Heavenly Venerate, it was truly effortless!
On top of the Xuanwu divine beast, Xian Zhen held the bronze sword in one hand and the banner of the Xuanwu Legion in the other. The aura of the seventy thousand strong army, guided by the military formation, converged into Xian Zhen's hand. The Xuanwu divine beast beneath his feet became increasingly stable, its divine radiance growing brighter. The ten thousand-foot-tall Xuanwu seemed to become more substantial, as if a living Xuanwu had emerged, suppressing the nine heavens and sweeping across all realms!
"Crack!!"
The city-protecting formation of Shu Yun City instantly cracked in ten thousand places. The aura of the Xuanwu divine beast directly suppressed the formation. The countless cracks that appeared made countless soldiers of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty tremble with fear, and the generals who witnessed this scene had their hair standing on end.
"Xuanwu??"
The old man of the Hun family stepped onto the city gate tower, his face filled with shock at the sight. An ancient divine beast that had disappeared for an era, even if it was just a wisp of its divine soul, still left him in awe.
"Human, who are you?!"
The old man of the Hun family's expression darkened as he looked at Xian Zhen standing on the head of the divine beast, speaking with gravity.
Behind Xian Zhen, seventy thousand soldiers were orderly arranged on the vast back of the Xuanwu divine beast, their blood essence reaching the heavens, divine radiance emanating in ten thousand directions, like immortal soldiers.
"Xian Zhen, commander of the Great Han Divine Dynasty's Xuanwu Legion!"
Xian Zhen said coldly, the bronze sword in his hand emitting bronze divine radiance, which began to spread across the entire Xuanwu divine beast.
"Xian Zhen?!"
The old man of the Hun family looked gravely, having never heard of such a figure among the Great Heavenly Venerates in the human race of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
A Great Heavenly Venerate, merely at the first level, made him feel a sense of dread and insignificance, like facing a prodigy of his own clan. This human Xian Zhen was undoubtedly a prodigy of this era of the human race!
No more than thirty years old!
A prodigy of the era at thirty years old!
Even the beings of the main lineage of the Hun family were not this terrifying!
"The eight great families of the Central Province, you must be a being from the Hun family. Your reach is too far!"
"Die!"
Xian Zhen said coldly.
Boom!
The legion banner in his hand erupted with infinite divine radiance. The Xuanwu divine beast roared in the void, and the endless divine power merged with the divine radiance of the banner, transforming into a bronze divine sword that directly slashed towards the city-protecting formation of Shu Yun City!
"Hah!"
The seventy thousand Xuanwu soldiers were all emitting divine power. This sword, infused with the divine power of seventy thousand soldiers, under Xian Zhen's command, deterred all directions!
Boom!
The city-protecting formation of Shu Yun City, unable to withstand the attack, instantly shattered. The thousand-foot-long city wall instantly turned to dust. Countless soldiers disappeared in this sword strike, with a rough estimate of at least two hundred thousand soldiers!
With one sword strike, the city wall and gate of Shu Yun City, which had blocked the Xuanwu Legion, vanished, along with a third of the city!
"What a terrifying human, damned!"
Amidst the swirling dust, the bloodied old man of the Hun family, having used some life-saving trump card, did not die under this bronze divine sword!
"Hmm?"
Xian Zhen raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. With this sword strike, let alone a top-tier Great Heavenly Venerate, even an unparalleled Xuan Sovereign, Xian Zhen was confident he could have killed them.
He was a commander, not skilled in personal combat, but the military formations he condensed were superior to other generals!
Among the heroes who had emerged, he was second to none!
The title of commander-in-chief began with him!
Xian Zhen looked coldly at the bloodied old man of the Hun family, who had barely survived by using a trump card from the Hun family.
However!
