"Boom!"
Bu Pinglong flew backward, coughing up blood repeatedly. Xiong's twin deer-horn sabers continued to radiate light. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with one hand, staring motionlessly at Fu Youde in the distance.
He had largely unleashed the blade intent of his twin deer-horn sabers but still couldn't resist Fu Youde. Now, a golden light erupted from the ground. Before his eyes, Fu Youde, a Saint, instantly ascended to the Saint King realm, becoming his equal.
How long had it taken him to reach the Saint King realm...
"Clang!"
Bu Pinglong plunged the deer-horn saber in his right hand into the void. He spat out his last mouthful of blood, finally halting the surge of divine power within his body. He looked at Fu Youde and said, "Your human race is truly remarkable. Your unique physical cultivation has received the blessings of the Great Dao!"
"In a mere moment, you've surpassed the millions of years of effort from other tribes!!"
"But don't get too smug, the real show has just begun!"
He clenched the twin deer-horn sabers with both hands. a phantom deer shadow enveloped his body, radiating killing intent that reached the heavens. The deer-horn sabers in his hands resonated with a deafening roar. His eyes were like an eagle's, completely different from the blade intent in his hands.
"Deer Cry!"
Bu Pinglong roared.
The two sabers slashed through the void, and a dazzling radiance illuminated the land. A giant deer stepped forward, and behind its head, a mysterious being rose, resembling a Golden Crow. This Golden Crow-like being hovered behind the giant deer.
Terrifying divine power surged like a tidal wave. At this moment, Bu Pinglong's entire body was covered in short fur, and antlers sprouted from his forehead. His pupils burned with flames, radiating infinite divine splendor.
"Ah!!"
Bu Pinglong writhed in agony, roaring to the sky. With every step of the mysterious being above the giant deer's head, the void here trembled. Each step sent waves of divine power crashing outwards. In the battlefield below, some soldiers couldn't bear the strain and simply exploded.
The forest floor was covered in blood, a horrific sight.
Fu Youde surmised that the mysterious being was Bu Pinglong's true form, while the giant deer was sealed within the twin deer-horn sabers. Their fusion seemed to have granted him insight into the deer's Dao. The terrifying divine power gradually pressed in on Fu Youde.
"Boom!"
Bu Pinglong's body began to bleed. As his divine blood stained it, the mysterious being in the void turned blood-red and merged into the giant deer's eyes. He swung his arms, and two blade energies sliced through the air, splitting mountains and rivers, shattering the distant sky. He was like a supreme being of the heavens, capable of snatching stars, possessing divine power that could destroy everything.
"Whoosh..."
The giant deer's eyes changed from gold to blood-red. The fur on its body erupted like countless sword qi, tearing through the void. Bu Pinglong's deadly techniques unleashed divine power like a long-suppressed volcano, instantly erupting, covering a thousand miles, and relentlessly crushing down on Fu Youde.
"Clang clang clang!"
Fu Youde wielded his Dou Niu Gilded Sword, and golden sword qi precisely intercepted each of Bu Pinglong's attacks. Feeling the force transmitted through his long sword, Fu Youde smiled wryly.
Before he had reached the Saint King realm, he could already suppress Bu Pinglong to the brink of death. Now that he had entered the Saint King realm, his strength was enough to contend with experts in the Great Saint realm.
It could be said that in the Western Hundred Cities, there was no longer any being who could suppress the heroes of the Great Han. However, the current territory was vast, and conquering it all would require a significant amount of time.
"Swish!"
He swung the Gilded Sword in his hand, and the endless sword qi made the countless soldiers of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty below tremble with dread and suffocation. Even Bu Pinglong, who was closest to Fu Youde, trembled all over and immediately stopped his assault, rapidly retreating. This instinctive reaction of overwhelming fear caused him to retreat.
Sword qi erupted, each strand imbued with terrifying divine power that filled Bu Pinglong with despair. Sword qi howled in the void.
Even as Bu Pinglong retreated at full speed, his bones crackled. He fearfully tore through the void, attempting to enter a void passage, but every time he broke through, the void passage would collapse before it could even form.
"Boom!"
A sword qi storm swept in first, directly shattering the giant deer in the void. Suffering a backlash, Bu Pinglong's body cracked, and his twin deer-horn sabers turned to dust.
Following that, layer upon layer of sword qi storms raged, battering Bu Pinglong's body repeatedly, causing him to cough up large mouthfuls of blood.
"Boom!"
Bu Pinglong's body began to tear. Every inch of his skin trembled violently. The void passage could not be opened at all. Above and below, there was no path to survival.
"Ah..."
The sword qi from Fu Youde's Dou Niu Gilded Sword reached within a hundred feet of Bu Pinglong. This single sharp edge, though not yet reaching his body, made him cry out. Although his body hadn't completely shattered, it was completely deformed by the pressure of the sword qi. He was covered in blood, his appearance indistinguishable.
"Boom!"
Within three feet of Bu Pinglong, the sword qi paused for a moment, as if a dragon's roar sounded, but it was brief. Bu Pinglong's national destiny energy, before he could even fully unleash it, was completely ground away by the sword qi.
"Ah!!"
Bu Pinglong cried out unwillingly. That was the national destiny energy, the national destiny energy of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty! If even this couldn't withstand Fu Youde, then his life had truly reached its end.
The heavens and earth shook, and golden sword qi roared.
"Pfft..."
A spray of blood bloomed. Bu Pinglong, the Saint Shu King, one of the four kings of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty, who had led the army, finally met his end at the border of the Feng'an Divine Dynasty, in the ancient forest!
At this moment, on the battlefield beneath Fu Youde's feet, the deputy general who had accompanied Fu Youde led the army in mopping up the remnants. The boundless bloody malevolent aura grew denser. The Great Han Kui Niu Legion advanced like a conquering force, their might irresistible, completely annihilating the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty's army!
Even so, the Kui Niu Legion suffered immense losses. Originally, the enemy had a numerical advantage. The Kui Niu Legion, facing an army several times their size, had advanced and attacked all the way.
At this time, the battlefield was a mountain of corpses and a river of blood!
On the other side, Qi Jiguang held Liao Ti's head and gazed at the sea of corpses and blood, silent.
After this battle, the million-strong Kui Niu Legion also lost a hundred thousand men. However, the Great Han Kui Niu Legion, with the power of a single legion, annihilated the million elite troops of the Feng'an Divine Dynasty and slaughtered all of the tens of thousands of soldiers brought by the Saint Shu King of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty.
This war had lasted for about two days. The land of the ancient forest had turned into a sea of blood, and it would likely be a long time before it knew peace.
