Layers of sword energy splashed out from the void, and bursts of blood mist, belonging only to the might of a thousand armies in battle!
"Who!!!"
Tuoba Li, deeply embedded in the ground, his white and gray long hair scattering, was suppressed by a single sword strike!
"Who!!"
Tuoba Li roared, unleashing dozens of fist shadows towards the void, only then shattering that sword energy!
"Hahaha!"
"Tuoba Li, you never expected that your Tuoba family would face such a day!"
"Kill him!"
As Tuoba Li struggled free and stepped into the void, he saw within a hundred zhang ahead, beings of the Tuoba family kneeling on the ground.
At Nalan Xun's command, blade energy sliced through the air, and heads rolled, hot blood spraying forth.
In a single breath, a thousand heads fell!
Blood splattered, bodies flew in the void!
"Kill!!"
"Leave no one alive from the Tuoba family!!"
Nalan Xun watched head after head fall, his hatred deepening. Corrupt officials held power, and the Divine Emperor was incompetent!
"Nalan Xun...!!"
Seeing heads fall, Tuoba Li roared, a long saber condensing in his hand, slashing directly towards Nalan Xun!
Boom!
An invincible sword intent, sweeping across the battlefield's cavalry, roared forth, a single sword sweeping the nine heavens, engulfing the light of the sun and moon!
After unleashing the saber strike, Tuoba Li's expression instantly changed. It was this sword energy that filled him with immense dread. Before it, he felt like mere dust!
Xin Qiji, sword in hand, advanced and slashed forward. In his past life, he rose from the ranks, a warrior by profession, but ultimately, he did not achieve his desired path.
Now, appointed as a副将 (fùjiàng - deputy general) by the Divine Emperor, he could lead an army and fulfill his unfulfilled aspirations from his previous life.
Boom!
That sword strike opened like a thousand-ton force, cavalry treading on snow, blood mist soaring into the sky!
"No!!"
Tuoba Li cried out in terror.
Before he could even see who it was, the incoming sword energy erupted with boundless divine light!
Boom!
In the void, Tuoba Li's body was pierced by the sword energy. No visible wounds marred his surface; he stood intact, trembling in the air, yet a wisp of blood flowed from his lips. He raised his head slightly, as if using all his remaining strength.
His face was pale and devoid of blood.
Tuoba Li finally saw whose sword it was!
A slender figure, clad in white armor, holding only a three-foot green sword. Through that slender figure, he glimpsed the most powerful army he had ever encountered.
Uniformly equipped virtual god soldiers!
A virtual god army!!
This foundation was only a level below the armies of the three overlords!
No wonder the Demon Sea Marsh failed, no wonder the Great Han Divine Emperor Yang Hao dared to declare war on the four great powers!
His consciousness began to drift. He felt the world before him lose its color, his spirit feeling weightless.
Boom!
The sword energy that pierced his body shattered countless mountain peaks north of the imperial capital and plunged into the northern horizon!
Tuoba Li wanted to raise his hand, but he could no longer feel anything. Blood continuously drained from him, his entire body beginning to tilt!
Boom!
He plummeted down, his last glance still fixed on the imperial palace he had yearned for.
Hundreds of zhang of dust erupted from the earth as Tuoba Li's physical body shattered!
"General Xin!!"
Nalan Xun approached and bowed deeply to Xin Qiji, a gesture of heartfelt respect. Tuoba Li was a Saint Lord expert, and he knew intimately how powerful Tuoba Li was, yet before Xin Qiji, he was no more than a single sword strike!
One sword strike, one Saint Lord!
Terrifying!
And he wasn't even the supreme commander!
Merely a deputy general of the second army of the White Tiger Legion!
"As previously agreed, this general promises the Tian Yuan Divine Emperor can continue to live in this imperial palace!"
"From this day forth, the title of Tian Yuan Divine Emperor is abolished, and he is demoted to commoner status. All members of the Tian Yuan Emperor lineage will have their privileges and treatments revoked."
Xin Qiji glanced at the trembling Tian Yuan Divine Emperor kneeling on the ground and spoke emotionlessly.
"Thank you, General!"
Nalan Xun cupped his fist in salute and stepped forward, helping the Tian Yuan Divine Emperor up. "Your Majesty, this is the last time I shall address you thus!"
"Henceforth, live as you wish, and survive well here!"
"Your subject!"
"The Nalan family!"
"Now takes leave!"
Nalan Xun knelt on both knees, a single bow ending the millennia-long ties between their families. Nalan Xun rose and, under the terrified gaze of the Tian Yuan Divine Emperor, led his army northward.
Boom!
Not long after, Cao Wei led his army into the Tian Yuan imperial capital.
