At that moment, an irresistible bloodline pressure descended directly upon the army of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty.
"This... Xuanwu!! Vermilion Bird!! How is this possible!!"
Within the central army, Ge Lian knelt on one knee, enduring immense pressure. The moment he looked up, his pupils contracted. He saw the Vermilion Bird divine beast and Xuanwu shining in the void above the firmament, the boundless pressure of their bloodlines descending and directly suppressing the three armies!
In just a moment, those two terrifying auras dissipated, and the three million strong army was already exhausted!
Boom!!
Chichichi!!
Within the aerial prohibition formation, the three hundred thousand vanguard troops had no time to react before waves of arrows arrived. Facing the sheer number of over a million arrows, the three hundred thousand soldiers were utterly vulnerable, like leaves swept by an autumn wind. Over a million arrows directly pierced the area occupied by the vanguard army and shot towards the central army of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty!
"No!"
Endless screams continued for dozens of breaths. The vanguard general, a being at the Minor Heavenly Venerable realm, saw an arrow in front of him. This arrow possessed a different sword intent than the others. This arrow was terrifying. Before it even approached him within a hundred zhang, its sharp intent had already shattered his armor and broken dozens of divine powers he had placed in front of himself. This arrow, carrying supreme arrow intent, attacked!
The vanguard general was filled with extreme fear. Facing the overwhelming barrage of arrows, he had not felt the approach of death. But the moment he saw this one arrow, the millions of arrows obscuring the sky became unimportant in his eyes. One arrow could stop a million soldiers!
This black arrow shattered his divine power shield and tore through his armor, forcing him to reveal his Yaoguai true form. Instantly, the arrow pierced through, blasting the vanguard general into a sky full of blood mist!
In the Nanshui Mountain Range, Yang Youji's eyes swept across the army in front of him. He gently lowered the battle bow in his hand, a terrifying arrow intent still lingering between his right index and middle fingers.
Boom!
Having reaped the lives of the thirty thousand vanguard troops, having lost no more than five hundred thousand arrows, the remaining terrifying arrows surged out of the aerial prohibition formation and directly rushed into the central army of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty!
Suddenly, the heavens and earth shook, and endless divine light splattered out. Countless soldiers desperately raised their shields to block these terrifying arrows. The arrows pinged and clanged against the shields, exploding with endless sparks. Even the deputy general, who was at the forefront, was sent flying hundreds of zhang, his arms trembling slightly.
The Blackwater Immortal Dynasty soldiers at the very front, still shocked by the annihilation of the divine beasts and the vanguard army, were swept away by the arrows and perished, their blood splashing and pouring onto the ground!
"Hee-law!!"
In the Nanshui Mountain Range, Wen Yuan abruptly pulled on the reins, his warhorse whinnying. He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to directly crush the enemy.
"Shoot!"
Yang Youji roared incessantly, commanding the eight hundred thousand soldiers to nock, draw, and shoot their arrows!
Boom boom...!
With the suppression of the second wave of arrows, the Blackwater army, having lost five hundred thousand soldiers, began to counterattack with some force. The rate of soldier casualties significantly decreased.
"Good!"
"Charge in and slaughter these beasts for me!"
Ge Lian deflected hundreds of arrows with a swing of his sword. He looked at the Nanshui Mountain Range, which was covered by the aerial prohibition formation. He didn't intend to break the formation but instead commanded his army to charge into the formation's range. If I can't fly, then the soldiers of the Great Han Divine Dynasty can't fly either!
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!"
As Yang Youji waved his battle flag, the eight hundred thousand soldiers instantly put down their bows and took out their blades. Approximately one hundred thousand soldiers mounted their horses and moved behind Wen Yuan.
"Hee-law!!"
Wen Yuan, riding his warhorse, moved to the very front of the eight hundred thousand Great Han soldiers. His eyes appraised Ge Lian, the First Rank Great General of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, and the three Deputy Generals at the Heavenly Venerable realm behind him.
White-weapon combat!
It officially began!
"Wen Yuan of the Great Han Divine Dynasty, by the order of the Divine Emperor, I shall defend against the invaders. Our Great Han embraces all races and upholds benevolent governance. Those who surrender shall live; those who do not, shall die!"
On his warhorse, Wen Yuan held the reins in one hand and wielded twin maces in the other. He looked coldly at Ge Lian, who held a long spear. Apart from Ge Lian and the three deputy generals, he sensed no other Heavenly Venerable realm presence. If that mysterious being did not join the battle, it must be guarding Shuiyun City!
"Presumptuous! You Great Han humans, crossing borders to destroy Hengtian and force Zhulu to submit! I lead this army here to seek justice for the Zhulu sect and the Hengtian beings. If we talk about our two dynasties, you are probably the least qualified to protect this territory!" Ge Lian held his long spear. Upon hearing Wen Yuan's words, he sneered indifferently, his lips curling upwards as he looked at Wen Yuan.
However, when his gaze fell upon the eight hundred thousand Great Han soldiers behind him, his eyes trembled slightly, and his legs clamped down on his mount.
Gods!
The Great Han Divine Dynasty!
A mere Divine Dynasty actually possessed an army of gods!
"It seems we cannot negotiate. Your Yaoguai race is inherently brutal, bloodthirsty, and greedy, taking pleasure only in devouring humans. This is a racial vendetta!"
"Today, by the order of the Divine Emperor of the Great Han Divine Dynasty, we shall annihilate the invading enemy, enter the Blackwater Palace from the east, destroy the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, and exterminate the Yaoguai race!"
"How dare you! Humans!"
"You are only fit to be food for our Yaoguai race! To be eaten by us is your highest honor. How dare you speak such wild words! Soldiers, follow me to defeat the human army, occupy Nanshan City, and feast on human flesh!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
This scene made Wen Yuan utterly enraged. Ge Lian spoke of devouring humans and called humans beasts. This battle must result in total annihilation and the destruction of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty. He swung his twin maces!
"Kill!"
"For the racial vendetta, we swear to destroy the Yaoguai!!"
Behind him, the eight hundred thousand strong army had bloodshot eyes. Humans were the masters of all races, how could they be reduced to food for other races!
Wen Yuan rode his warhorse, followed closely by ten thousand cavalry. He wielded his twin maces, the terrifying mace light burning with crimson divine fire, tearing through the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty army charging towards them!
"You dare to block my million elite troops with only a hundred thousand?"
"Ridiculous!"
Ge Lian rode his warhorse out, followed by a full million cavalry. The rest of the soldiers dispersed, charging towards the seventy thousand soldiers led by Yang Youji.
"Ants, can you block my million strong army?"
"Battle!"
Ge Lian raised his long spear. The million soldiers behind him all shouted forcefully, their terrifying blood energy surging towards the firmament. The faces of the Yaoguai soldiers revealed the appearance of their true forms!
"Roar!"
At the peak of the firmament, a roar erupted from the void. Its sound was like that of a human infant. A thousand-zhang black Yaoguai manifested.
