The human powerhouses watched Jiang Xing kill Yun Shan in just two moves and were utterly stunned, instantly losing all will to fight.
Even Yun Shan, a Dou Zong, had been taken out in two moves. Could they withstand even one?
At that moment, every human powerhouse had only one thought: Run!
And they did not merely think it—they immediately put it into action. The human powerhouses blasted the Snake-People powerhouses away one after another.
Then, they formed Dou Qi wings and fled into the distance at top speed.
When the Snake-People saw that the Queen Consort had killed the enemy's Dou Zong powerhouse so quickly, while all the other humans had been frightened into fleeing, they were ecstatic and continuously shouted.
"Long live the Queen Consort! Long live the Queen Consort!"
For a time, the Snake-People Tribe's morale soared.
Seeing Jiang Xing kill Yun Shan and the Snake-People's morale rise sharply, the Great Elder decisively gave the order to leave the city and engage the enemy.
With Yun Shan dead, the Alliance Army's morale had collapsed. They could not withstand the Snake-People's ferocious assault at all.
With the Snake-People Tribe's tribal chiefs joining the battlefield as well, the situation was completely one-sided.
For a time, the Alliance Army suffered devastating casualties.
After killing Yun Shan, Jiang Xing rapidly closed in on the seven human Dou Wangs.
Seeing Jiang Xing flying toward them, the seven Dou Wangs were terrified.
Even Yun Shan had been killed in two moves by this young Dou Zong. Could Dou Wangs like them survive even one?
Without hesitation, the seven Dou Wangs tacitly fled in different directions.
Jiang Xing was speechless. Why were they splitting up to run again?
With no other choice, Jiang Xing pursued the nearest Dou Wang. It did not take long for him to catch up to the human Dou Wang.
Sensing Jiang Xing closing in, the Dou Wang was overcome by an indescribable terror.
Before he could even react, he was struck by Jiang Xing's lightning-fast Blazing Inferno Strike.
Dou Wang Number One, dead!
After killing that Dou Wang, Jiang Xing immediately pursued another and killed him in the same manner.
Dou Wang Number Two, dead!
But after killing those two Dou Wangs, the others had already escaped quite a distance.
After giving it some thought, Jiang Xing decided not to keep chasing them. He would return first and help the Snake-People powerhouses deal with the remaining enemies.
The moment he turned back, he discovered that the Dou Wang powerhouses fighting the Snake-People had also fled in different directions.
Jiang Xing was dumbfounded.
What the hell? Why are they running so fast? I'm only a one-star Dou Zong. Do they really need to be this afraid of me? Maybe they could beat me if they joined forces?
Had these people known what Jiang Xing was thinking, they would definitely have replied, "You killed Yun Shan, also a one-star Dou Zong, in two moves, then took down Dou Wangs one at a time with a single strike. What are we supposed to fight you with?"
Jiang Xing had originally intended to return and instantly kill the Dou Emperor-level Nethersea Serpent-Beast first, only to discover that it had already fled back to the Alliance Army.
It was not that Jiang Xing thought the Alliance Army posed any threat to him; he simply felt they were too far away to bother with.
So Jiang Xing charged toward the nearest Dou Wang again.
The Nethersea Serpent-Beast had sensed that something was wrong as soon as Yun Shan was killed, so it had hurriedly retreated.
The Nethersea Serpent-Beast arrived beside Yao Ye and said anxiously, "Elder Princess, the Snake-People Tribe has an exceptionally powerful Dou Zong. We are no match for him. We need to leave now!"
Yao Ye watched from afar as Jiang Xing pursued one of the Jia Ma Empire's Dou Wang powerhouses, then instantly killed him with a single strike!
Her legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed.
"We lost? How could we have lost?"
Seeing that Yao Ye was in no state of mind and that the situation was urgent, the Nethersea Serpent-Beast did not bother saying more. It directly grabbed Yao Ye onto its back and fled into the distance.
After flying with her for a while and just as it was about to leave the army behind, Yao Ye suddenly jumped off the Nethersea Serpent-Beast's back and turned back toward the battlefield.
"Princess, where are you going? Princess!"
No matter how the Nethersea Serpent-Beast called out to her, Yao Ye still insisted on returning.
Yao Ye could not endure such humiliation. Even if she died on the battlefield, she refused to become a deserter.
"No, I cannot flee first and disgrace the Royal Family's honor. If the Jia Ma Empire truly falls, I am willing to be the first to die for my country."
Hearing Yao Ye's impassioned words, the Nethersea Serpent-Beast had no choice but to follow her, intending to protect her at her side.
After returning to the battlefield, the Misty Cloud Sect's elders had either already been killed or fled after seeing Yun Shan die.
Only the Jia Ma Royal Family's two Dou Wang powerhouses were still holding on.
The battle could no longer be fought. Yao Ye's return was merely to command the remaining troops to retreat and reduce their losses.
Yao Ye then went to the very front of the army, directing the retreat while personally bringing up the rear.
Sure enough, after this, the Alliance Army was no longer as panicked as before and began fighting while retreating.
After killing the fleeing Dou Wangs, Jiang Xing returned and saw Yao Ye directing the army.
A sense of admiration rose in his heart, and he sighed, "What an extraordinary woman. Perhaps this is what it means for women to be no less than men!"
Then Jiang Xing charged down and killed her...
To protect Yao Ye, the Nethersea Serpent-Beast and two other Dou Wangs stepped in front of her, but they were no match for Jiang Xing's attacks and were soon slain by Ji Feng.
With the three powerful experts protecting Yao Ye all killed, Yao Ye naturally could not escape death herself.
As long as Yao Ye was killed, victory in this war would basically be assured.
Jiang Xing admired her, but admiration was admiration—it was no reason to spare her!
Seeing even the Elder Princess killed, the Alliance Army soldiers fell into utter despair and fled in all directions.
Having won a great victory, the Snake-People Tribe naturally would not let this opportunity slip away. The Great Elder immediately gave the order to pursue while the enemy was routed.
Because Jiang Xing had slain several human experts in succession, there was no one left in the Alliance Army capable of resisting the Snake-People Tribe's tribal chiefs.
The battle soon came to an end. Most of those who fled were dealt with, and even those lucky enough to escape could no longer pose any threat to them.
The Great Elder was especially excited now. She had expected victory, but she had never imagined it would come so easily.
And she knew perfectly well what such an easy victory meant.
The Snake-People Tribe lived in a harsh environment, while the Jia Ma Empire not only had favorable living conditions, but also fertile land.
After this war, nearly all the experts of the Misty Cloud Sect and the Jia Ma Royal Family had been slain.
From now on, the Jia Ma Empire would no longer be able to stop the Snake-People Tribe.
The Snake-People Tribe could now find a stretch of land within the Jia Ma Empire suitable for their survival—or even rule the empire itself!
Jiang Xing had guessed the Great Elder's thoughts as well. He spoke directly, "Great Elder, I promised your Queen that I would find you a habitat suitable for your survival. Where do you think is best suited for the Snake-People Tribe?"
Jiang Xing's meaning was obvious. Since the Jia Ma Empire's royal family and its strongest sect had already been destroyed, they might as well take this opportunity to fulfill the promise he had made to the Queen.
The Great Elder pondered for a moment before saying, "The Misty Cloud Sect!"
