He did not wait for any further explanation.
The nation-guarding artifact immediately swung around and aimed at Great Qian's main battle formation.
The power it had accumulated overnight came crashing down in an instant.
"Defend!"
Great Qian's commander issued his order as well.
The two military formations collided head-on.
A ravine a hundred miles long was blasted into the wasteland.
Thousands of cultivators near the front lines died on the spot.
No one had expected Great Xun to attack while Su Yueli was still present.
