Great Feng's Prince Xing, Huangfu Wuliang
On the city wall of Baiyun City, the leading man surveyed the entire battlefield with sharp eyes. Finally, his gaze fell upon the central banner of the army outside the city, where a gigantic bear lay prostrate on the ground.
"Dagan, Prince of Qin!"
"This Prince of Qin is really in a hurry!"
The man gazed into the distance, speaking in a seemingly calm tone, but his slightly deep, hoarse voice made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent.
Marquis of Dongyue, the Dong Zhenlin, stood to the side with a complicated expression.
"Your Prince, there is no longer any need for an envoy. Let's wait and see how this battle goes!"
Currently, yes, Dong Zhenlin said "currently," and given the current situation of the Great Feng, even he himself is uncertain about this battle.
The leading man in the python robe nodded heavily. He understood Dong Zhenlin's unspoken meaning, but he had nothing to say. He knew better than Dong Zhenlin and the others about the situation within the Great Feng and the Imperial Clan, which was far from optimistic.
He was the representative of the original peace delegation of the Great Feng, the younger brother of the late Emperor of the Great Feng, the uncle of the current young emperor, the Xing Wang of the Great Feng, Huangfu Wuliang.
After the crushing defeat in the Battle of Youzhou, coupled with the Northern Border Barbarian Tribe, the Great Feng intended to send a peace delegation to temporarily sever ties with the Dagan. However, at that time, Fengtian City had just experienced the Great War between Heaven and Man.
In Fengtian City, and indeed throughout the entire Great Feng, it would be no exaggeration to say that everything was in complete chaos. The mission arrived a few days late, and as a result, Dagan army had already attacked.
The peace delegation from Great Feng had arrived recently, but with the fall of Cangguan Pass and the Gan Army advancing straight through, everyone knew that Dagan would not give up sending troops.
He didn't blame Qin Xiaosheng, Dong Zhenlin, and the others for abandoning two major cities and more than a dozen counties, because he would have done the same in their shoes.
Rather than being defeated one by one by the enemy, it's better to gather together. At this point, it's impossible to negotiate peace; we have to finish this battle first.
"Your Prince, our Five Elements Heavenly Sect will make the first move."
Standing beside the man in the python robe, Venerable Gengjin, Jin Wei, also spoke up at this moment. Her gaze was fixed on the many experts from Dagan who were almost at the city walls on the battlefield below.
Compared to the main army, these people are much more troublesome. Unlike the soldiers of the main army, ordinary soldiers who can be easily dealt with once they get to the city wall, but Dao Youming, if someone like Bai Yi gets up there, he will truly be a wild horse that has broken free.
With that destructive power, one of them is equivalent to hundreds of soldiers. We can't let them get up here, or even let these guys get close to the city wall. We can only block the enemy outside. Therefore, it is inevitable that martial arts masters like the Great Feng Venerable Gengjin will go out of the city to fight.
"Very well, thank you for your trouble, Venerable Ones, and everyone else."
Huangfu Wuliang turned around and faced the crowd around him. His gaze swept over the people on the city wall. These were all martial arts masters from various forces in his Great Feng. He clasped his hands in a salute to the crowd.
"Let's go! Out of the city!"
The Venerable Gengjin, dressed in a long golden robe and carrying a giant sword, exchanged a glance with two people beside him, one in red and the other in brown. His voice, infused with true energy, resounded across the city wall, and everyone stepped forward and flew down from the city wall.
On the city walls all around Baiyun City, many figures leaped up and jumped down.
"An important person has arrived, everyone please leave!"
Standing in the central command post outside the city, the Imperial Clan elder Chu Wenhao saw the Great Feng people leaping down and shouted loudly.
Immediately, Chu Wenhao, Jing Zhonglai, and the others also leaped into the air to meet the attack.
At first glance, it was clear that hundreds of people had emerged from various checkpoints and gates throughout Baiyun City.
In addition to the Dagan force, Bai Yi and his group who had already made their move, the Imperial Clan's manpower, the support from the Xuantian Dao Sect, the local people of Martial World You Province, and people from all walks of life in the martial arts world, the total number of people was no less than that of the strongmen of Great Feng.
In an instant, swords flashed and shadows danced, and terrifying true energy surged and raged around them.
"Patriarch Lu, Zhu Wushi, Cheng Shifei, and Duan Tianya, you may go as well! I still have Li Xunhuan and the Ancestor here, so don't worry!"
Beneath the towering golden dragon banner of the Dagan Gan Army, Xiong Da lay motionless on the ground. Chu Xuanao sat atop Xiong Da's head, gazing at the distant battlefield, and gave an order to Zhu Wushi and the others around him.
He didn't need to deploy so many people here. He didn't need them, nor was it necessary. With Yuan Tiangang in the shadows, he was perfectly safe. Even if the Heavenly Being Realm Ancestor of the Great Feng Imperial Clan came today, he wouldn't be able to touch him in the slightest. This was Chu Xuanao's confidence.
On the battlefield, Zhu Wushi's powerful true energy stirred up dust and condensed into an earthen dragon tens of meters long. He stood on the dragon's head, with Duan Tianya Cheng Shifei on either side of him.
The three formed a triangular formation, cooperating seamlessly as they marched straight through. Many experts who tried to block their way were instantly whipped into a cloud of blood mist by the earth dragon before they could even get close, demonstrating its ferocity and domineering nature.
Along the way, some of the martial arts practitioners of the Great Feng Dynasty who he saw were beheaded before they could even react, with a single sword cry. Duan Tianya walked by calmly, sword in hand, with only the corpses along the way bearing witness to the mysterious and unpredictable nature of this swordsmanship.
Compared to Duan Tianya's elegant and graceful swordsmanship, Cheng Shifei's style was more brutal. With his fists, he could directly smash the head of Great Feng person or pierce through their body with a single punch. His body was covered in dazzling golden light, which even the bright sun could not conceal.
The three of them fought their way through, attracting the attention of a master at the Great Feng Ascension Realm. A beam of red fire suddenly struck Zhu Wushi from the side, scorching hot.
Zhu Wushi struck out with his right palm, scattering the flames. He looked up and saw a man in a red robe with exquisitely carved patterns standing before him. Judging from his attire, Zhu Wushi knew who the man was.
"The robes of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, such cultivation level, and this explosive aura—you are the Venerable Yanghuo among the contemporary Five Elements Venerables?"
The man in red robes did not deny it. His true energy erupted, and a large red cauldron appeared around him, burning with raging flames, just like a giant alchemy furnace in operation.
"I've heard of you, Zhu Wushi. In terms of strength, you rival those at the Peak Ascension Realm. Qiu Jiuyang died at your hands. Your strength is not bad. I, the Venerable One, am honored to personally deal with you."
"Whether you're honored or not, you'll only know after the fight. But I think you'll regret coming to cause me trouble today once you're gone."
Zhu Wushi's expression was somewhat gloomy. They were almost at the walls of Baiyun City. He was the first expert to scale the walls, and now they were coming to cause him trouble?
Glancing over, Duan Tianya and Cheng Shifei were also blocked in their path by two experts at the Ascension Realm of the Great Feng. What a mood ruiner!
After saying that, the true energy in his body circulated and gathered in Zhu Wushi's right hand. With a flash, Zhu Wushi struck Venerable Yanghuo with a palm!
Venerable Yanghuo clenched his right fist, which was blazing with fire, and struck out in the same manner.
With a loud "boom!"
After exchanging a blow, Zhu Wushi's body suddenly swayed and he took two steps back. Venerable Yanghuo's figure also retreated several steps, his expression changing. This true energy is so powerful, and this palm technique is not right!
