shown the portraits of Zhang Hanyang and his people.
Be careful.
If you meet those people, you’re allowed to defeat them but you can’t kill them.
Let them breathe for the time being.
We hope Lord Zhen Hai could be the first one to kill Zhang Hanyang’s people.”

“He wouldn’t do that, either.” Lord Bei Huai shook his head.
“Lord Zhen Hai is a cautious person.
As long as Zhang Hanyang’s attitude is not clear, he wouldn’t hurt his people.
For the time being, we should only wear down their strength until Lord Nan Shan is vanquished.
Then, we’ll see what choice Zhang Hanyang will make.
If there is no response, it will be the time to end the game.”

As they were discussing the battle, Lord Zhen Hai and the other magnates were also having a meeting.

“Lord Nan Shan has 300,000 people.
He has sent all of them out in 10 troops to conquer the entire Mountain Nan Domain.
I suppose Lord Bei Huai will teach them a lesson,” Lord Zhen Hai said.

“How do you know?” someone asked.

“Because I have the same idea,” Lord Zhen Hai remarked while looking at the map shrouded by layers of energy.
“I’m considering whether to take advantage of this opportunity to bring down Lord Bei Huai’s force.
But I’m also worried that he has a backup plan.”

“Now is not the time for us to fight Lord Bei Huai head-on,” another magnate cautioned.
“I think we should do the same as Lord Bei Huai—wearing away Lord Nan Shan’s strength and holding our troops where they are for the time being.
If we prepare to subdue Lord Bei Huai’s force, we shall subdue it big-time.”

“That’s also a good point.”

Lord Zhen Hai nodded.
“Lord Yi, lead 160,000 men in four troops to block Lord Nan Shan’s force.”

“Yes.”

With the battle pending, the atmosphere was rather tense.

There was a troop heading for the south.
More than 10,000 people in the troop were under Sect Leader Mu’s leadership, including Mu Xue, Zhao Feng, and the members of the Luo Fu Sword sect.
The rest of the troop, which consisted of more than 10,000 members of the Dark Shadow Clan, was lead by Lord Liu, who had just recovered from a serious injury.

“They haven’t experienced a battle of this scale yet.
Although they are nervous, they still haven’t had enough reverence for the matter.” Sect Leader Mu looked at the crowd behind him and shook his head, even though they appeared to be capable and well-trained.

“This is war,” Lord Liu said with a smile.
“War is brutal.
One won’t understand it until one experiences it in person.
After that, one will understand that in war, the strength of an individual can hardly turn the situation around.”

“Who said that?” Mu Xue immediately retorted, “I’ve seen one person who killed a ton of people on his own.”

She recalled the scenes that she had seen in her master’s memory.

Corpses were everywhere, numbering in the tens of thousands.

“Haha, you are talking about the crushing effect of absolute strength,” Lord Liu pointed out.
He then laughed and said, “Now in our army, the backbone force is those at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage.
There are even many in the Earth Realm or even the Heaven Realm.
Don’t underestimate people like them.
Some who know how to employ combat formations to jointly launch attacks can even fight those at higher levels.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? Just wait and see.
We’ll be undefeatable.” Mu Xue was extremely confident.
There were so many of them, while the troops on the borders only had about 30,000 people.
Now that the enemies were at the same level as them, she felt that they would win.

“They’re coming!”

Lord Liu saw black masses in the sky above a big mountain ahead.
There were roughly 20,000 people.
He couldn’t help but feel adrenalized.

“It’s time for us to win some battles.
There are 20,000 enemies ahead.
We can defeat them.”

“There are only 20,000 of them.
Could this be a setup?” Sect Leader Mu said with doubts.


“Maybe, maybe not.
Even when we’re fighting, we still have to be circumspect.
The thing we must heed the most is the Heaven-earth Formations.
Once the war starts, there will be all kinds of illusory formations and murderous formations.
Formation masters had been underrated in the King’s Domain.
But now, they have become the key figures of each force.
Well, every new sovereign brings his courtiers,” Lord Liu said to Sect Leader Mu.

Then, he took a deep breath.
In a booming voice, he announced, “Drumbeats dictate advance, while cries of the crane dictate retreat.”

These words were addressed to the 30,000 fighters behind him.
Once everyone was in a tangle, there was no way to issue orders to them.
The only instructions the leaders could give were to advance or to retreat.

This kind of large-scale war was kind of similar to the contention for domination in ancient times.
It was also strikingly different.
The fighters did not need someone to command them to switch formations.
Everyone had their understanding and fighting methods.
They could only advance or retreat.
There were not many fighting strategies.
Nor did they rely heavily on external instruments.

“It’s Lord Zhen Hai’s force.”

Lord Liu looked at the troop coming toward them.

When the troop was about 2 miles away, Lord Liu abruptly bowled, “Fight!”

“Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump…”

The war drums resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The 30,000 people pressed forward like a dark cloud.

The other party also rushed over very quickly, but they dashed to both sides and surrounded Lord Liu’s force.

“Eh?”

Seeing this, Lord Liu was slightly stunned and looked around in surprise.

It was quiet.
He even felt a dead silence.

As the chief commanders, Lord Liu and Sect Leader Mu did not go to the battlefield in person, but the others all charged forward.

Seeing this scene, Sect Leader Mu said in a low voice, “The surroundings seem to be dreadfully quiet.”

“It’s indeed somewhat dreadful.” Lord Liu pondered for two seconds and said, “But we have to fight this battle.
We are the weakest party, so in many battles, we must face enemies that outnumber us.”

“It’s their first time to participate in this kind of war.
I hope they can have a successful start.” Sect Leader Mu was also nervous.

He hoped they could win this battle.

However, sometimes things just went contrary to his wishes.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…”

The two troops collided.

All kinds of attacks filled the air, making it seem like there was no chance to dodge.
Both sides started to strike when they were far away from each other.
This kind of battle was shocking to watch.

“Zhao Feng, let’s compete on who can kill more in this battle,” Mu Xue said.

“As you wish.” Zhao Feng chuckled, and his eyes flickered with cyan light.
“Your starting point is much higher than mine, and your strength has always been stronger than mine.
But this time, you may not be able to defeat me.
My Big Dark Devil Shadow is quite mature.”

“Swoosh!”

In an instant, Zhao Feng turned into five figures and rushed to the front at an extremely fast speed.

“Huh, you are still very confident.”

Mu Xue curled her lips, conjured up the Demon Dancing Sword, and charged forward speedily.

“You can’t be faster than me.
Of all the martial arts in the world, speed is the key!”

Suddenly, a cold voice rang in Zhao Feng’s and Mu Xue’s ears.

“Eh? Shi Fenghou, why are you here?”

Mu Xue let out a soft cry of surprise.

She never thought he would also be here.

“Humph.” Shi Fenghou gave half a sneer as usual and said lightly, “There is no place in the vast world that I can’t go.”

“Rumble!”


In a fraction of a second, his speed overtook the speed of sound by five times.

The wings on Shi Fenghou’s back seemed almost solid.
The wingspan was five meters.
After spreading his wings, he barged into the opposite side and started to reap lives at an extremely fast speed like a sharp blade.
He was obviously at the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage.
The enemies who fought him were killed with a single move.

In just two seconds, the opposite troop was thrown into a panic.

“Kill!”

Finally, the disturbance drew three Real Kings over.
They besieged Shi Fenghou at the same time and eventually stopped his massacre.

On the other side, Zhao Feng, Mu Xue, and others also began to display their skills.

Enemies seemed everywhere.
The various strikes thrown at them caused their scalps to tingle and their minds to tense up.

They attacked, defended, then attacked again.

They did that over and over again.

After fighting for just one minute, Mu Xue, Zhao Feng, and even Shi Fenghou were a little out of breath.
Such a high-intensity battle was too energy-consuming.

“Fortunately, Master has given me some defensive treasures.
Otherwise, I would’ve been injured by that strike from earlier.”

Mu Xue shot a cold look at the man in a long robe a hundred meters away to her right.
“Can’t believe his strike almost got me.
There are surely countless marvelous people in the large world.”

The war was completely on.

Every second, many figures fell from the sky.

Dozens of people died every second.

The speed of fighters being killed was terrifying.

“Wheeze…”

Two minutes later.

Many who had just experienced this kind of battle before felt the pressure on them multiply, as if they could die in the next second.

The fear was especially distinct when they saw that one of their comrades, who was fighting with them side by side a second ago, was suddenly killed in the battle.

A chill ran down their spines.
They hated this feeling.

In a one-on-one battle, they would have to be so exhausted.

“Chirp!”

All of a sudden, a series of crane cries sounded on the battlefield.

“They want us to retreat?”

Mu Xue and Zhao Feng looked back.

Their expressions changed greatly.

To their horror, more than 20,000 people were coming from behind.
They were enemies!

Lord Liu’s force had been encircled.
This scene struck despair in many.

“Retreat!”

Lord Liu’s face darkened.
“There’s really an ambush.
I thought that the enemies wouldn’t be many.
But it turns out that there are 60,000 of them in total.”

“Retreat now! We’ll break out of the encirclement from the east.” Sect Leader Mu clenched his fists and became a little edgy.

“No, we can’t go east.
That’s where Mountain Rosy Clouds is.
We’ll probably walk into the Heaven-earth Formation.
We can only break out from the back.
Although we will be attacked from both the front and the back, that way is safe,” Lord Liu said bitterly.
“Now, we can only hope that the casualties will be as small as possible.”

“Then let’s make a sortie from the back.”

Sect Leader Mu nodded.

Their troop began to assemble.
Mu Xue and Zhao Feng quickly retreated as well.
