Battle Begins
A thousand miles Barbarian King City, Space Rift opened silently, from which four figures slowly emerged.
Looking up at the bright sun overhead and feeling the gentle breeze on his face, Xiao Han spoke in a light tone.
"The weather's nice today; it's the perfect time to kill and cover it up."
"What are you saying?"
Ice Emperor, standing to the side, retorted.
Are those things people? We are merely purifying the environment of this Great Thousand World.
"That's true."
Xiao Han nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and said to the two people behind him, "You two have just broken through, so today you only need to stall for time. Leave the task of killing the enemy to us."
Finally, Xiao Han added one more sentence.
"Of course, it would be even better if you could really achieve a victory in the first battle."
Newly breakthrough Yang Ling and Liu Qingyang:
"I will heed the instructions of the Palace Master."
Immediately, seeing Xiao Han about to take a step forward, Yang Ling thought for a moment and said:
"Palace Master, shall we just go like this?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Don't we need to do any preparation?"
Yang Ling was shocked!
"I am Spirit Array Master!"
"Oh!"
Xiao Han slapped his forehead in a haphazard manner.
"I almost forgot you don't have the ability to create an array with a single thought."
It would be unwise to pit a Spirit Array Master against a powerful Evil Clan of equal strength in a hard-fought battle.
These hurtful words made Yang Ling's face twitch, and he cursed inwardly. He was a newcomer after all!
This skill seems to be unique to the Palace Master, right?
"Then you can make do with these for now."
As he spoke, Xiao Han stuffed several colorful, palm-sized jade plates into Yang Ling's arms.
"Two Trapping Array and one defensive Spirit Array should buy you enough time to set up your Killing Array."
Yang Ling was stunned. So, she was just a tool to control the Spirit Array, right? The Palace Master even gave her the opportunity to set up the Killing Array herself, leaving her with a sense of participation.
He really made me cry my eyes out!
Xiao Han turned around and saw Liu Qingyang looking surprised on the other side. Feeling that he couldn't show favoritism, he also sent a set of Spirit Array over.
After glancing once more at the nearly unchanged sky, Xiao Han issued the final command.
"Let's go, let's give our neighbors a little surprise."
On this day, Tian Huang and Qian Feng were still drinking merrily with a large group of subordinates, completely oblivious to the world, until...
"Boom!"
First, a violent earthquake shook the ground, knocking over the wine cups on the table. Then, the sound of the building collapsing reached the ears of the group of powerful Savage Demon Race in the hall.
"Bang!"
In a foul mood Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor slammed his hand on the table in front of him, shattering it. Black veins bulged on his forehead, terrifying the others who cowered to the side, trembling in fear, and remained silent.
"Come..."
Just as he was about to call his subordinates to ask who dared to disturb his drinking and merrymaking in broad daylight, his men arrived before he could even speak.
"Report!"
The panicked Savage Demon Race arrived at the main hall with swift, decisive movements. He immediately knelt on one knee, his hand trembling as he pointed towards the city gate, panting heavily.
"Reporting to Lord Tian Huang, the Langya Palace Master has led his men to attack!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. The Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor immediately stepped forward, his thick, "reasonable" arm lifting the man up to his face with one hand, staring into his wide, blood-red pupils.
"The Langya Palace Master has led his troops to attack?"
"How many people have come?"
"Four... four."
Under the terrifying gaze of the Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor, his subordinates were completely disoriented and answered weakly.
"What? Four!"
The sharp-eared and sharp-eyed Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor was immediately shocked by his subordinate's answer, shaking his head as if he were still somewhat dazed.
"Say it again, are you sure there are only four people?"
"Reporting to your Excellency, there are indeed only four people! I am absolutely certain I cannot be mistaken!"
"To hell with them! How dare four mere people attack my Barbarian King City? Do they really think I'm made of clay?!"
Damn it! You, the Langya Palace Master, are indeed powerful. I dare not contend with you, and I would rather avoid you altogether.
But this is going too far! A mere four people dared to openly attack our heavily guarded headquarters. It's like slapping us in the face and then stomping on our faces!
If the other party were to return unscathed, the Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor seemed to foresee a bleak future where he would be unable to hold his head high among the Savage Demon Race and even the entire Extraterrestrial Evil race.
He casually tossed his unfortunate subordinate far away, Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor felt his anger surge to the heavens, the kind that even the clan leader's presence couldn't extinguish.
Not only the Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor, but also the other Nether Demon Emperor who remained in the Barbarian King City were all in a state of passionate determination, vowing not to return until Langya was destroyed, except for one person.
"Brother Tian Huang, the Langya Palace Master is always cautious. Shouldn't we be careful that he doesn't have another scheme?"
The Demon Emperor Qian Feng frowned and pondered for a moment before hesitatingly offering a reminder.
Despite being doused with cold water, the Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor remained "unwavering in his original intentions," and roared in uncontrollable rage:
"Brother Qian Feng, I understand what you mean, but if I let them leave safely today, how do you think we'll conduct ourselves in the future?"
Qian Feng immediately fell silent. After all, Langya Heavenly Palace's act of throwing the face of the entire Barbarian King City to the ground and trampling on it was indeed a bit arrogant. If they did not react, everyone present would probably become a laughing stock of the entire Extraterrestrial Evil race.
Led by the Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor Qian Feng, followed by five Nether Demon Emperors and a group of powerful Demon Race leaders, the mighty Evil Clan quickly arrived at the city gate.
"Wow, there are quite a few people here!"
Compared to the massive force of the Barbarian King City, the Langya Heavenly Palace, consisting of only a "four-person team," appeared extremely weak. However, Xiao Han remained completely calm and even had the leisure to comment on the Extraterrestrial Evil race's team. The Ice Emperor was also leisurely carving the ice sculpture in his hand. Having survived the "Great War" in the past, this small number of people was nothing to worry about.
Only Yang Ling and Liu Qingyang, who were experiencing this for the first time, looked serious. Although they held high positions and had seen many grand scenes, being surrounded by so many powerful figures was indeed a first for them.
"Hmph hmph hmph!"
Having sensed no other presence within a ten-thousand-mile radius of Barbarian King City, and confirming that it was indeed only Xiao Han and his three companions present, the Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor became unprecedentedly arrogant.
"The Langya Palace Master is indeed courageous, but today she has been a bit too presumptuous, daring to so rashly intrude into my Barbarian King City."
"It will be a great achievement for me to capture you and bring you back to the clan."
"I'll see how the clan chief will continue to favor that sycophant Ge Xiusi then!"
"Etc!"
Xiao Han, who had been sitting quietly across from the Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor with the intention of bringing peace to the deceased, listened to him express his feelings. However, upon hearing a familiar name uttered, he frowned and interrupted, saying:
Has Ge Xiusi returned to the Great Thousand World?
"Oh? It seems you really do know each other." The Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor was slightly surprised, but he quickly put it down. Feeling confident of victory, he had no intention of keeping it a secret.
"Judging by the time, he should have already led my clan's army to conquer the Fierce Qi Continent where you were born by now. It doesn't matter, I will soon take care of you too..."
"Fierce Qi Continent!"
Xiao Han's aura surged, his face gloomy. Ice Emperor also stopped carving, his eyes narrowed. Both of them exuded a chilling aura. Yang Ling and Liu Qingyang behind them also thought of Xiao Han and Ice Emperor's backgrounds, their expressions changed drastically, and they quickly prepared for battle.
Initially, they may not have been determined to fight the Barbarian King City to the death, but now it is destined that the two sides will perish.
When did they set off?
At this moment, Xiao Han completely abandoned his gentle facade, his indifferent voice carrying Deep Winter's fury that went straight to the bone.
"You want to know?"
Through Xiao Han's sudden change in attitude, the Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor vaguely guessed the status of the Fierce Qi Continent in the former's heart, and the frustration of being attacked today was instantly swept away.
Their clever minds quickly devised a way to make the Langya Palace Master extremely uncomfortable.
"If you obediently surrender to me, I will tell you."
"Right, guys? Hahaha~"
After saying that, the Tianhuang Profound Demon Emperor even turned around and shared his good mood with everyone, and the others also laughed along in a very tactful manner.
"It seems there's no point in negotiating." Xiao Han lowered his eyelids slightly, and then...
"Then let's fight."
"Ten Directions Dragon Prison Array, activate!"
