Northern Barbarians, Royal Court Palace.

The Divine Phoenix Army had surrounded the Royal Court Palace three layers deep inside and out!

The entire Northern Barbarians now had only King of Northern Barbarians Man Poshen and a scant handful of soldiers left!

"Man Poshen, surrender. This army commander can still leave you an intact corpse!"

At this moment.

Luo Shenhuang pointed her silver blade from afar, her icy shout brimming with oppression!

When the city had fallen just now, she had already exchanged blows with Man Poshen!

Although his cultivation and strength were indeed far greater than the dead barbarian marshal Man Potian's, she could still suppress him!

What was more, behind her stood over a hundred thousand Divine Phoenix Army soldiers!

Without question, only one fate awaited Man Poshen—annihilation!

"Damn it!"

"My Northern Barbarian clan has dwelled in this land for hundreds of years. Who would have thought that today, it would perish at the hands of me, Man Poshen!"

"I have truly failed the ancestors of my barbarian clan!"

At this moment, Man Poshen also threw back his head and let out a mournful howl. He clearly felt that the barbarian clan had reached the end of the road!

Yet in the next instant, he did not obediently surrender. Instead, he brandished his bloodstained broadsword and roared, "Luo Shenhuang, come!"

"The warriors of the Northern Barbarians have always died in battle and never surrendered. As the King of Northern Barbarians, I am no exception!"

As his words fell, Man Poshen soared through the air and charged at Luo Shenhuang!

"Hmph, a trapped beast still fighting!" Luo Shenhuang snorted coldly. At once, silver blade in hand, she took the initiative to meet his attack!

Boom! Clang, clang!

In an instant, the two grandmaster-level experts clashed fiercely in midair!

Their blades collided, bursting out in violent sparks and thunderous crashes. The force they unleashed was unparalleled, sweeping through all directions.

While the two grandmasters battled, the Divine Phoenix Army also began to encircle and slaughter the last Northern Barbarian soldiers.

Though the royal guards and soldiers protecting the barbarian king were far from ordinary, they still fell rapidly beneath the Divine Phoenix Army's merciless slaughter!

In only a short while.

The final batch of Northern Barbarian soldiers had all turned into cold corpses!

Naturally, all the drops from those corpses went to Ding Hao.

They even caused Ding Hao's cultivation to rapidly surge toward the fifth level of the True Martial Realm!

"Gone!"

"My Northern Barbarians are gone!"

Seeing the scene below, Man Poshen, who was still fighting in midair, wore an expression of utter grief upon his ugly face.

Yet beneath that grief was an incomparably mad and savage look!

"Luo Shenhuang, even if I die today, I'll drag you down to the grave with me!"

With that furious roar, the aura around Man Poshen's body suddenly surged. In the blink of an eye, it became more than ten times stronger!

This sudden upheaval sent all the Divine Phoenix Army soldiers into an uproar!

Even Luo Shenhuang's beautiful eyes filled with alarm!

Only Ding Hao, frowning deeply, noticed the clue at once!

From within Man Poshen's body, he sensed a Primordial Barbarian Bloodline even more powerful than that of the former Northern Barbarian commander-in-chief, Man Potian!

Moreover, rather than merely activating his bloodline to strengthen himself, Man Poshen was clearly burning the Primordial Barbarian Bloodline within his body. That was why his power had risen so violently and so terrifyingly in an instant!

Of course, such burning inflicted horrifying damage upon one's bloodline. It could even cost one's life afterward!

But with his nation destroyed and his clan exterminated, Man Poshen clearly no longer cared!

"Kill!"

Luo Shenhuang was a ruthless woman as well. She did not evade at the first moment. Instead, she swung her silver blade and unleashed her greatest power!

But with a boom, her strongest attack was crushed by Man Poshen, forcing her to cough up blood and stagger back.

"Die, die, die!"

"Go die, Luo Shenhuang!!"

With an incomparably savage expression, Man Poshen pressed his advantage. As his barbarian bloodline burned, his strength and speed continued to skyrocket!

He looked as though he would never rest until he had killed Luo Shenhuang!

"Save the army commander!"

"Damn King of Northern Barbarians, do not harm the army commander!"

"The Northern Barbarians have already been exterminated. How can we allow you to run wild!"

At this moment, countless Divine Phoenix Army soldiers roared as they leaped up to intercept Man Poshen, including many True Martial Realm generals such as Ding Yishan!

But Man Poshen suddenly shook his body, and a wave of blood-colored flame swept across the sky, knocking down every Divine Phoenix Army soldier who tried to stop him.

The weaker soldiers died on the spot. Even generals like Ding Yishan vomited blood wildly as they crashed to the ground!

Then Man Poshen flashed forward and caught up to Luo Shenhuang from above.

With a savage grin, he raised his broadsword, intending to cleave her apart completely. The sight filled Luo Shenhuang's heart with despair!

After all, Man Poshen was using his own death as the price to kill her. Even she had lost the ability to resist!

She even let out a long sigh in her heart.

"Sigh, if I die, then I die. At least the Northern Barbarians have been destroyed, and I have no regrets."

Closer!

Closer still!

Man Poshen's blade was about to split Luo Shenhuang's delicate body apart!

At that moment, an earthshaking shout rang out. "Man Poshen, remember this—the one who aided in killing you is Ding Hao!"

A nimble figure could be seen leaping high into the air.

With long black hair, dark eyes, a cold face, and a gray-white death-row prisoner's uniform that could not conceal his muscular frame, it was none other than Ding Hao!

"Ding Hao?"

"Ding Hao!!"

Both Man Poshen and Luo Shenhuang were shaken.

But then Man Poshen's eyes filled with contempt. He had clearly recognized this death-row prisoner who had slain Man Potian before the city and nearly been shot dead by him!

A mere True Martial Realm death-row prisoner, and he wanted to save Luo Shenhuang?

He simply did not know the difference between life and death!

Luo Shenhuang's expression was likewise filled with anxiety and worry. She clearly believed that Ding Hao was throwing his life away by leaping up now.

Yet in the next instant, a powerful aura erupted from Ding Hao's body!

The moment that aura appeared, Man Poshen, whose power had risen sharply from burning his bloodline, seemed as though a basin of icy water had been dumped over his head!

The blood flames billowing around his body were extinguished at once, while his terrifyingly powerful aura plummeted off a cliff, rapidly withering and even falling below his original strength in an instant.

"Ah!!"

This abrupt turn of events caused Man Poshen's expression to change drastically. He had never imagined that his bloodline would be suppressed on the spot by a Great Zhou death-row prisoner who was only at the fourth level of the True Martial Realm!

"Impossible!"

"How can you, a Great Zhou man, suppress this king's bloodline..."

Man Poshen's startled cry abruptly cut off, as if he had sensed something within Ding Hao. His shock became even greater than before.

"Fuck! A Primordial Barbarian Bloodline, and it's as high as ninety percent? How the hell is that possible? That's absolutely impossible!"

Man Poshen was completely dumbfounded!

One had to know that this Primordial Barbarian Bloodline was exceedingly rare. Even among the barbarian clan, only descendants of the royal court possessed it!

Most importantly, throughout the entire Northern Barbarian clan, his Primordial Barbarian Bloodline was the highest, yet it was only seventy percent!

But now, a death-row prisoner from the Great Zhou Dynasty actually possessed a ninety-percent Primordial Barbarian Bloodline. This was simply beyond absurd!

To him, it was no less shocking than seeing a ghost in broad daylight!

"Who are you!"

"How do you possess such a terrifying Primordial Barbarian Bloodline? Could it be that you are... a member of the Man Shen Clan of Barbarian Province?"

At this moment, Man Poshen questioned him with a face full of disbelief!

"Hmph!"

Although Ding Hao did not know what sort of force the Man Shen Clan mentioned by Man Poshen was, he naturally could not be bothered to explain anything to him.

As for Luo Shenhuang, although she did not understand what had happened, she clearly saw that Man Poshen's power had already plummeted!

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, she forcibly gathered her True Qi and counterattacked!

Streams of blazing, dazzling silver blade light swept across Man Poshen's body one after another with the force of dry weeds before a raging wind!

Krrk!!

Man Poshen, who had been caught in shock and terror, froze in midair!

Until!

With a series of strange sounds, dense bloody marks appeared all over his body!

Finally, wearing an expression of extreme unwillingness, confusion, and pain, he shattered into pieces on the spot, turning into countless mangled remains that fell to the earth!

King of Northern Barbarians Man Poshen—annihilated!!
