Cangguan Pass
"This stuff is great!"
On the Xuanshan Plain, far from Cangguan Pass, Chu Xuanao couldn't help but sigh Cangguan Pass he watched the flames soar into the night sky, only to be instantly obscured by flying dust and mist.
Originally, this Nine Clan Ball —well, it was the Explosive Pill and gave to Zhu Wushi —was something Zhu Wushi kept with him. When they discussed attacking Cangguan Pass, Zhu Wushi took it out again, which can be considered a reasonable use of it.
The power of the Explosive Pill is still considerable. Anyone below the Heavenly Realm would be unable to withstand its power. Even Peak Ascension Realm would be severely injured, if not killed, and that's only considering those affected in the surrounding area.
If this thing explodes right under your feet, even Peak Ascension Realm wouldn't be able to piece it back together.
They heard a deafening sound, and a mushroom cloud accompanied by fire rose slowly in the distance, with a force that seemed to make the earth tremble. The majestic Cangguan Pass was blasted open, with a gap of several hundred meters.
The aftershocks from the explosion at Cangguan Pass were calmed down by Chu Mo before they could even get close, leaving them completely unaffected.
"Rush!"
After the explosion, the Bingzhou Wolf Riders under Zhang Liao and the Zhenyou Cavalry under Wang Long set out one after another, rushing towards the breach in Cangguan Pass like arrows released from a bow.
Bai Yi, Dao Youming, Lu Yimin, Zhu Wushi, Cheng Shifei, and other powerful figures all rushed towards Cangguan Pass at the same time. Tonight would be the night to trample Cangguan Pass.
In contrast to the numerous cavalrymen galloping forward, a dark figure appeared like the wind in the night, going in the opposite direction from the iron cavalry.
"Ghost Servant, how are you? Are you injured?"
Seeing the black figure bursting out of the dust, Chu Xuanao immediately asked.
A ghostly black figure slowly stopped in front of Chu Xuanao. It was the Ghost Servant who had thrown out the Explosive Pill. At this moment, the Ghost Servant's aura was surging and rapid, and had not yet calmed down. He answered.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I am unharmed and have not been injured."
Even disregarding the fact that he was still more than a hundred meters away from Cangguan Pass, he threw the object and ran, already far from the epicenter of the explosion. And considering that Yuan Tiangang was also secretly present, everything was perfectly safe.
Chu Xuanao nodded, his gaze falling on the dust that had settled over Cangguan Pass. The iron cavalry and Zhu Wushi and the others had already entered Cangguan Pass.
Looking at Wang Hanying beside him, Chu Xuanao said in a deep voice.
"March! Enter the pass!"
Above Cangguan Pass, the remaining people of Great Feng were still in a state of fear when they suddenly felt the ground tremble and heard a series of rumbling sounds. At first, they thought it was another explosion like an earthquake.
However, some clever people immediately realized something was wrong. The sound was all too familiar; it was the sound of a large cavalry charge. And in Cangguan Pass, only the Dagan cavalry of Da Gan could make such a sound. They immediately cried out in alarm.
"Dagan! Dagan! The army has invaded!"
Upon hearing this sound, a powerful warrior stationed at Cangguan Pass screamed and roared.
"Where is the Marquis? Where is the Marquis of Beimu?"
"General, the Marquis is probably gone!"
The general, his eyes bloodshot and covered in tattered armor, only then remembered that Qin Xiaosheng's mansion was not far from the explosion site and must be gone. In fact, if he hadn't been far away and only been hit by the aftershocks, he probably would have died too. He then roared hoarsely.
"Organize manpower to stop the Dagan force, quickly!"
"Everyone, assemble and prepare for battle. Anyone who deserts or dares to be a deserter will be executed without mercy."
But the surrounding area was already in complete chaos and could not be organized at all. The soldiers around were already terrified by the explosion, and their screams were useless.
"Ah!"
Of course, this roar, which was mixed with true energy, was not entirely useless. At least it marked his location. A black spear shot straight through the dust like lightning. Before the man could react, he was pinned to the ground by the spear and died instantly.
A figure galloped towards them on horseback, turned sideways, grabbed a long spear with one hand, and swept it horizontally, his true energy swirling in all directions, dispersing the surrounding dust. He then rode forward and disappeared in an instant. The newcomer was Zhang Liao.
His eyes were filled with a sharp edge, and his murderous aura was chilling. He charged forward, killing without restraint. After he passed, countless iron cavalry came galloping in, and no one cared about the corpses, which were directly trampled into minced meat by the horses' hooves.
From the two sides of the crater hundreds of meters wide after the explosion, Zhang Liao and Wang Long entered the pass from both sides. The breach created by the explosion was already a mess, devoid of any life. What they had to do was deal with Great Feng. The army on both sides of the Cangguan Pass breach was far from being able to rely on just one Explosive Pill.
Even if the morale of a force of over 100,000 is broken, it's impossible for them to all die; therefore, a cleanup is still necessary.
Inside Cangguan Pass, compared to the soldiers fighting on the battlefield, Zhu Wushi, Bai Yi, Cheng Shifei Dao Youming, and other experts at the Ascension Realm rushed into the pass and fought their way to the front, seemingly without any restraint.
They didn't need to consider soldiers or military matters; those weren't their goals. What they needed to do was to stop the unaffected powerful figures within the pass as quickly as possible, whether they were coming to provide support or trying to escape—not a single one could leave.
"Where are you two going?"
Two people, covered in wounds and their clothes soaked in blood, stumbled and staggered toward the back of Cangguan Pass. Both of them were powerful experts at the Early Ascension Realm and were the main generals stationed at Cangguan Pass. Although they were within the range of the Explosive Pill, they were far enough away that they were lucky enough to escape with their lives.
They also knew very well that with Cangguan Pass gone, even with 160,000 men fighting 400,000, there was still hope of holding the pass. But now that the pass had fallen, morale had crumbled instantly, and they could no longer fight.
They had only managed to escape a short distance when a figure descended from the sky and blocked their path. The two men's eyes widened in terror.
"Zhu Wushi?"
As the Prince of Qin's right-hand men, their portraits and information were naturally kept in Great Feng. Their Late Ascension Realm cultivation was equivalent to the Peak Ascension Realm. How could the two of them be a match for each other in their current state?
Zhu Wushi neither knew nor cared what the two were thinking; all he wanted were their lives. He clenched his right fist, and his powerful true energy erupted instantly, striking straight at the two.
The two men looked on in despair as they desperately tried to fight back, but one of them had his head smashed by a single punch from Zhu Wushi, and the other was kicked several feet into the air by Zhu Wushi, crashing to the ground and lying there, barely clinging to life.
Their desperate attempts to unleash their true energy were as fragile as paper, crumbling at the slightest touch. Looking at the two men Zhu Wushi slowly shook his head. They were too weak. Both were severely injured and at their limit, completely unable to fight any longer.
Without hesitation, he unleashed a burst of true energy from his palm, blasting the fallen man into pieces. Blood splattered everywhere. Zhu Wushi turned and left to find his next target.
This scene unfolded throughout Cangguan Pass. Bai Yi, Dao Youming, Duan Tianya, and other powerful figures roamed the Cangguan Pass, killing anyone who dared to block their way. They searched everywhere for martial arts experts who had slaughtered the Great Feng, killing anyone they encountered, whether they were soldiers or Martial World masters, as long as they had reached the Three Realms of Earth.
