"Kill!!"
The Yun clan's army moved instantly, a dark mass like a tide, charging madly into the Azure Dragon Palace city from the sky and the ground. Among the troops, Zhang Hao was at the forefront, his long spear flying. Even the thick city walls could not stop him; they shattered and were pushed a thousand feet into the city.
Boom!
At the same time as Liang Lin's great battle in Dongwu City, Geng Yan's plan for the Azure Dragon had reached its final crucial moment. The battle to destroy the Azure Dragon Palace erupted instantly!
Geng Yan sat on the central war chariot, with only a hundred soldiers guarding him. The booming battle ahead did not affect him in the least. He picked up a scroll and opened it, revealing a detailed map of the six hundred states in the Eastern Remote region.
He picked up a pen and circled the Azure Dragon Palace and the Black Tortoise Hall. In his mind, the Azure Dragon Palace and the Black Tortoise Hall had already been destroyed. The White Tiger Pavilion and the Fallen Immortal Dynasty could not stop the Flying Tiger Marshal Liang Lin. The moment Liang Lin, or Liang Fang, appeared, the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Pagoda had bestowed upon him the information from the historical epic. He then focused his gaze on Dong Gong, this city at the heart of the Eastern Remote region.
"King of Protection!"
"Marshal!"
Yun Hao walked over. He did not go to fight. He was not as invincible as Deng Qiang or Zhang Hao. The core city of the Azure Dragon Palace was filled with many powerful individuals, and there was a constant danger of death.
"Do you see this location?" Geng Yan said softly.
"Dong Gong!" Yun Hao looked at the spot Geng Yan was pointing to.
"I wish to order you to lead a hundred thousand troops and occupy this city first, to open up the front lines for my main army!" Geng Yan said, circling the location of Dong Gong.
"Marshal, aren't we going to the Black Tortoise Hall battlefield?" Yun Hao asked, confused. Although the Flying Tiger General Liang Lin was leading the army into the Black Tortoise Hall battlefield, he still felt it was unreliable.
"No need. The Flying Tiger General Liang Lin is enough to quell the Black Tortoise Hall battlefield. We only need to capture Dong Gong and wait quietly for Liang Lin there. With both armies converging, we can march south and destroy the White Tiger Pavilion!" Geng Yan smiled lightly, showing no concern for the situation at the Black Tortoise Hall.
"Marshal, judging by what you're saying, is the Flying Tiger General Liang Lin very strong? Strong enough to quell the chaotic Black Tortoise Hall battlefield?" Yun Hao's brow furrowed.
"Very strong!" Geng Yan closed the map and looked at Yun Hao, saying, "In a one-on-one fight, this marshal is no match for him! Go, take Dong Gong as soon as possible, otherwise, you know my rules!"
"Yes!"
Yun Hao's heart trembled. Although he was Yun Shan's elder brother, he had never felt secure, especially in front of Geng Yan. He always acted with great caution.
"Battle!!"
In the void of the Azure Dragon Palace, Deng Qiang was extremely excited. Unlike Liang Lin's swift victories, he suppressed his strength to the Great Heavenly Venerate realm, roaming the battlefield with the divine power of a Great Heavenly Venerate!
"Kill!"
Holding his spear, he directly threw aside his outer armor, revealing an inner armor made of a Rending Heaven Rhinoceros. A faint black divine light continuously nourished his flesh. He raised his spear and thrust it forward with all his might!
Pfft!
Flesh tore, blood splattered. In the void of the Azure Dragon Palace, an elder of the Azure Dragon Palace first had his hands torn apart by the spear, and then his entire body, under the immense impact, was blown into pieces. His primordial spirit dissipated!
"Thrilling! Thrilling! Come again!!!"
Rushing out of the blood mist, Deng Qiang looked at the divine blood staining his body and laughed greedily. A dazzling divine light flashed in the blood-soaked right arm. Deng Qiang directly raised his spear and swept it towards the front right. With a boom, an Azure Dragon Palace elder's sword shattered as his arms were struck!
"Damn it!"
The elder's face changed drastically. He had intended to sneak attack Deng Qiang, but not only did the sneak attack fail, his weapon was shattered. The powerful backlash caused many bloody marks to appear on his body, especially his arms, where bones were exposed!
"You dare to sneak attack this general! You're seeking death!"
Deng Qiang looked up and locked onto the old man whose body was oozing blood. He raised his right hand and thrust his spear forward. A blood-red light instantly shattered the void. Before the blood spear could pierce him, the elder who had attempted to sneak attack Deng Qiang was ground into nothingness by the divine light of the shattered void fragments!
"Hahaha, you should be careful!"
Zhang Hao, passing by, saw this scene and mocked Deng Qiang. Then, he raised his long spear, its terrifying sharp divine light tearing everything apart. Three thousand Azure Dragon Palace disciples were instantly annihilated. Piles of hot blood continuously washed over Zhang Hao's body. He raised his spear and wiped away the crimson blood!
"Hmph!"
Deng Qiang's expression turned cold. Angrily, he raised his spear and charged forward. His hands gripped tightly, his spear shimmering. Thousands of beings were turned into blood mist by these earth-shattering spear lights, merging into the blood mist in the void. The sky turned even redder, casting a bleak light over the city of the Azure Dragon Palace, engulfed in smoke and fire.
"Counterattack! Even if our Azure Dragon Palace is destroyed, I will have you, Geng Yan, killed here! Counterattack!!"
The Palace Master of the Azure Dragon Palace roared, holding an eight-foot snake spear. This spear was extraordinary, able to absorb and attract the divine blood of the Azure Dragon Palace disciples pervading the void. The more Azure Dragon Palace disciples died, the more terrifying the divine power condensed in the spear in his hand became. With one hand, he unleashed a blood-red snake, and thousands of Yun clan soldiers before him were consumed, their flesh and blood dissipating, leaving only scattered bones on the ground. He raised the snake spear again and swept out four blood-red spear lights, directly beheading a Yun clan general on the ground!
"Follow the Palace Master! Kill the Yun clan humans on our ancestral land! The Azure Ghost Snake clan never yields!!"
"Disciples of the Azure Dragon Palace, follow me and break out from the west!"
An elder of the Azure Dragon Palace, after killing a Yun clan general, glanced at Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao who were roaming the sky. He then noticed a weak point in the west. By avoiding Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao, they had a greater chance of breaking through the Yun clan army's blockade, and then attacking from the outside to launch a pincer attack. If the situation was unfavorable, they would abandon their positions and flee south, then seek an opportunity to fight again!
"Marshal, a hundred thousand soldiers have been assembled!"
Outside the city of the Azure Dragon Palace, Yun Hao gathered a hundred thousand troops and approached the central war chariot. He respectfully reported to Geng Yan, who was examining the map.
"Hmm!!"
Geng Yan let out a soft hum, then raised his head. He first glanced at the Azure Dragon Palace battlefield, and only then did his gaze fall upon the King of Protection, Yun Hao, before him. After a few breaths, he finally spoke, "There will likely be no significant resistance on this southward journey. The city of Dong Gong can connect the entire Eastern Remote region. This is the token. King of Protection, please accept it. If the Eastern Remote region is pacified, this marshal will count it as your greatest merit!"
