Dragon Subduing Shows Might, One Man Sweeps Ten Thousand Troops

Xu Yan looked at the destroyed shops and felt a pang of heartache. Many of them belonged to his Xu family!

"I was too impulsive! I shouldn't have acted within the city. My family has so many shops; even destroying one causes considerable loss."

"It's even worse if innocent people were injured."

"Master said that the Martial Dao is not about killing. Since I have the ability to control myself, I shouldn't cause unnecessary casualties!"

The more Xu Yan thought about it, the more he felt he had been impulsive. He should have gone to fight outside the city.

As for capturing Jiang Pingshan, Xu Yan didn't have that idea. He was here to display his strength and give the old Qi Emperor a shock.

Defeating the Divine Might Army, which he considered the nation's pillar, with just one person – wasn't that shock enough?

From the rear of the Divine Might Army, a slightly trembling voice called out, "Good! We'll fight outside the city!"

Jiang Pingshan's voice trembled. He couldn't believe it. What kind of terrifying strength was this? To defeat the charge of the Divine Might Army single-handedly!

And this person had once had the chance to become his son-in-law!

At this moment, a scene from that day involuntarily flashed in his mind, Xu Yan's powerful words: "...One day, I will make you regret it deeply. You won't be able to afford to associate with me!"

Now, it seemed his daughter truly would be unable to afford to associate with him!

But Jiang Pingshan didn't believe that Xu Yan alone could fight the Divine Might Army!

On the city streets, the Divine Might Army couldn't fully deploy. Once outside the city, it would be different.

That was the true battlefield for the Divine Might Army.

This time, to completely annihilate the Tianmu Cult and, at the same time, build prestige for the First Prince, the Qi Emperor had dispatched ten thousand Divine Might Army soldiers for him to command!

Ten thousand Divine Might Army soldiers – how could a mere mortal, flesh and blood, possibly resist them?

"Retreat, gather outside the city!"

Jiang Pingshan calmed his trembling heart and issued the order.

The Divine Might Army began to withdraw. Even when facing an opponent like Xu Yan, who possessed non-human strength, the soldiers of the Divine Might Army showed no sign of retreat.

As the Divine Might Army exited the commandery city, the citizens who had been confined to their homes also began to emerge, informing each other with shocked expressions.

The foolish son of the richest man was going to challenge the Divine Might Army alone?

Even more shocking were the prominent figures within the commandery city. They found it hard to believe that Xu Junhe's son had cultivated such immensely powerful strength.

Where had he found a reclusive master?

"Quick, to the city walls!"

"Let's go, hurry! This battle will decide the fate of Donghe Commandery, and even the Qi Kingdom!"

Many important figures from the commandery city, escorted by their guards and household servants, rushed to the city walls.

"Let's go, to the city walls!"

Xu Junhe also spoke in a deep voice.

"My Lord, Madam, please!"

A guard led a carriage over.

Xu Junhe took his wife's hand and entered the carriage. The guards surrounded the carriage as they headed towards the city gates.

"Steward Xu, does your son have confidence?"

A voice called out. Xu Junhe looked up from the carriage window and saw Kou Ruozhi and a group of Tianmu Cult experts following behind, heading to the city walls to watch.

"Yan'er never fights a battle he isn't confident about."

Xu Junhe replied calmly.

"I naturally believe in the might of the Great Sage Heavenly Duke,"

Kou Ruozhi said with a hearty laugh.

"Steward Xu, what about this matter of cooperation..."

Kou Ruozhi's face was full of anticipation.

"We'll discuss it after the battle."

Xu Junhe replied perfunctorily.

The group soon arrived on the city walls.

Outside the city, the Divine Might Army was fully armed. The soldiers wore heavy armor, carried long spears, had long swords at their waists, and even their horses were clad in armor.

"This is the Divine Might Army. How can one person possibly contend against such a powerful force?"

The many important figures on the city walls, as well as the surging crowd of citizens, were all awestruck by the might of the Divine Might Army.

Truly worthy of being the Qi Kingdom's pillar of strength!

"Husband, will Yan'er be alright?"

Madam Xu looked out at the magnificent Divine Might Army outside the city and couldn't help but worry.

"Since Yan'er dared to fight, he must be confident. Madam, please rest assured!"

Xu Junhe felt nervous, but he put on a calm expression and comforted them.

Apothecary Pan and a group of Xu Family guards surrounded Xu Junhe and his wife, ready to defend against any potential attacks.

Meanwhile, Kou Ruozhi and his group formed an outer perimeter, vigilantly watching their surroundings for anyone who might attack the couple.

At this moment, Kou Ruozhi actually hoped someone would attack Xu Junhe and his wife. That way, their Tianmu Cult would have an opportunity to step in and save them.

This would allow Xu Yan to owe them a favor.

As for the Tianmu Cult orchestrating an attack themselves, Kou Ruozhi and the others didn't dare. If exposed, they would face Xu Yan's wrath.

The Tianmu Cult couldn't afford that.

The important figures in the commandery city were all silently watching Xu Junhe, awaiting the outcome of the battle. Once Xu Yan emerged victorious, they would try to build connections with Xu Junhe.

Xu Yan's expression was excited, his eyes burning with fighting spirit as he looked at the Divine Might Army surrounding him. His Blood Essence surged, and he could faintly hear the sound of crashing waves within him.

His Blood Essence circulated, and the Dragon Subduing Palm was ready to be unleashed.

Since entering the Martial Dao, he could finally fight to his heart's content.

"Although these soldiers are wearing heavy armor, they won't be able to withstand my palm force. I'll hold back a bit and not kill them all.

"I'm not a butcher.

"Besides, I think this is an opportunity to hone my control over Blood Essence and to improve my Dragon Subduing Palm, allowing me to use it as I please."

Xu Yan thought to himself, then glared with his eyes and declared, "Come on, let me show you what a true Martial Dao expert looks like!"

His voice boomed like thunder, echoing across the battlefield and reaching the ears of the onlookers outside the city.

"Attack!"

Jiang Pingshan, mounted on his horse, took a deep breath and pointed his spear at the ground.

BOOM!

The Divine Might Army attacked. Spears were raised, warhorses galloped, and like a torrent, they charged towards Xu Yan from all directions!

The spears glinted coldly under the sun. The parallel spears charged at Xu Yan from all angles, leaving no blind spots.

With this charge, unless Xu Yan could take to the sky and fly over the army, he would have to face the army's charge head-on.

How could one person withstand such a terrifying charge?

How could flesh and blood block it?

"Hiss! The rich man's foolish son, he's really not thinking straight. How can he possibly resist this?"

"He's dead for sure!"

The onlookers on the city wall gasped as they watched the scene. The rich man's foolish son truly wasn't thinking straight.

The important figures in the commandery city had the same thought.

Xu Yan was powerful, possessing superhuman strength, but he chose to fight the Divine Might Army within their encirclement, with no way to evade or escape. How could one person resist the charge of an army?

He really wasn't thinking straight!

"Good!"

Xu Yan roared, pushing out with both palms, and two crimson dragons burst forth.

Immediately after, as Xu Yan's palms flew, one crimson dragon after another was continuously unleashed. In an instant, the dragons coiled and charged out in all directions.

Xu Yan advanced step by step, his Dragon Subduing Palm force spewing forth. The crimson dragons swooped, swept, coiled, and charged directly... With each palm strike, his Dragon Subduing Palm became more proficient.

The palm force he unleashed was incomparably fierce, under his complete control, and could shift freely between strength and weakness.

The incantation for the Dragon Subduing Palm appeared in Xu Yan's mind: "The dragon possesses supernatural abilities, changing with the circumstances... So that's how it is, my understanding has deepened!"

In this instant, the Dragon Subduing Palm entered the minor accomplishment stage. The dragon-shaped palm force he unleashed carried a subtle sense of "life."

BOOM!

An even thicker dragon burst forth, coiling around the entire battlefield centered on Xu Yan. Its tail, like a long whip, swept across the battlefield!

The onlookers on the city wall were stunned.

They saw Xu Yan unleash one dragon after another. The charging Divine Might Army, men and horses alike, were all swept to the ground. The torrent-like army was collapsing.

Row after row from all directions fell or were flung away.

One man swept away ten thousand troops!

At this moment, the citizens of the commandery city had only one thought in their minds!

The one who wasn't thinking straight was me!
