At the closest position to the city gate tower, the great general who opened his eyes frowned. The Immortal Emperor had begun to grow angry. Rather than be forced into battle, it was better to take the initiative to attack and earn the name of defending the country. He roared to bolster his own spirits.
He let out a great roar and charged directly out of the great formation, instantly attracting the attention of the Blackwater Immortal Emperor, and temporarily suppressed the morale of the disordered army. At this moment, the Blackwater Immortal Emperor temporarily suppressed his anger and looked at the charging general out of the great formation with satisfaction and anticipation.
Seeing that the armor of this general was identical to the one who held the great pickaxe earlier, he was likely a general of the same rank. He held a blood-colored bone fork and, upon rushing out of the great formation, wasted no more words, directly unleashing all his divine power. In the sky above, a black river emerged from the void, spreading across the entire battlefield. The general, holding the blood-colored bone fork, walked step by step in the black river. With each step, an immeasurable and immense pressure descended upon Wen Yuan. With a rumbling sound, the immense pressure caused much of the land outside the Blackwater Palace City to shatter, even creating abyssal ravines crisscrossing the terrain!
The general raised the blood-colored bone fork, channeling the power of the entire black river, and plunged it downwards towards Wen Yuan!
Wen Yuan merely glanced up and then ceased to pay attention. The commotion was considerable, but in his eyes, it was still utterly fragile. Even if surrounded by ten thousand troops, he could break through. Even if intercepted by several enemy generals, he could use his twin maces to break through all directions!
With a bang, his twin maces unleashed a crimson divine light. A high-pitched cry, as if the wings of a Vermillion Bird appeared behind Wen Yuan, and the crimson flames, already bright, directly overshadowed the black river flowing in the sky above. With one strike of the mace, the black river was split into countless segments, and then they shattered and disappeared one by one!
"Look at the fork!"
The general suppressed his inner fear, his eyes unusually resolute as he locked onto Wen Yuan. The moment the black river shattered, he exerted more force with both hands, and the blood-colored bone fork reached Wen Yuan's front.
Boom!
Another strike of the mace met the attack. The blood-colored bone fork directly shattered, and even the general standing in the void, hundreds of feet away from Wen Yuan, directly disintegrated, blood splashing layer upon layer in the sky!
If one general were to fall, it would still be within the army's tolerance. But with yet another great general, defeated in a single move and falling from the sky, his blood staining the void, the figure in red armor stood like an ancient, vanished divine beast, guarding the front of Blackwater Palace.
Xian Zhen, seated in the command chariot, sensed the fluctuations in the morale of the Blackwater Palace army. A slight smile played on his lips. "It's about time!"
The morale of the Blackwater Palace army began to falter, and the army's heart was unstable. On the city walls, countless civil and military officials trembled at the knees, some directly holding onto the city wall, panting in fear.
"Damn it! We should have led the army to sweep through the Western Frontier back then!"
"We shouldn't have listened to the Hun family's advice. We shouldn't have spared the Hengtian Immortal Dynasty. If not for that, how could we have ended up like this? The dignified Southern Marsh's two great overlords, the supreme and noble Ya Yu clan, are being held back from the Imperial City by mere humans, their so-called 'blood food'!"
A great general, clad in black armor with golden flowing edges, indicating a higher rank than the two fallen generals, angrily punched the city wall, staring at the void and raging.
"Immortal Emperor, you can't delay any longer. Two generals have fallen, and our army's morale is damaged. If this continues, this battle will be unfavorable, and the Immortal Dynasty is in peril!"
After staring at the void for several breaths, the general hurried away, arriving at the city gate tower. He knelt on one knee and reported to the Blackwater Immortal Emperor in imperial robes standing before him.
The Blackwater Immortal Emperor's face was pale. He held the hilt of his sword at his waist with one hand and leaned on the city wall with the other. He looked at the kneeling general and, after a long pause, his breathing was still disordered and rapid. Since the Battle of Nanshui, they had been losing ground to the Great Han step by step. The north was lost, the west was lost, and now the Imperial City was besieged. At the moment of the empire's survival, he looked at the general and said weakly, "Lead the army and meet the enemy!"
"As you command!"
The general rose, took the Blackwater Immortal Emperor's golden plaque, and was about to order his deputy to lead the army and prepare for battle when...
At the peak of the sky, Xian Zhen held the banner of the Black Tortoise Legion, condensed a great formation, gathered the divine power and blood essence of a million-strong army, and unleashed a sword strike. With a thunderous roar, the city's protective formation, which had been surging but not broken, along with tens of thousands of palaces and pavilions, was instantly shattered.
"Meet the enemy!"
"Meet the enemy!"
"All soldiers, fight for the country!!"
The general, covered in blood, rushed out of the ruins, his voice shaking the surroundings, wanting to rally the army for a counterattack.
"Damn it!!"
The Blackwater Immortal Emperor's dragon robe was torn, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. Looking up at the sky where the million-strong Black Tortoise Legion was treading the void, killing intent surged to the heavens. His imperial sword was drawn from his waist, and the fate of the entire Blackwater Palace, and indeed the entire Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, surged forth, converging on his imperial sword. The sword intent, reaching from heaven to earth, seemed to cleave the world and sweep away all dissent!
"Emperor! My twin maces have not yet tasted the blood of an Emperor." Seeing the boundless imperial aura erupting from the ruins, Wen Yuan, holding his twin maces, directly locked onto that figure.
"Let me test you then!"
With the twin maces in motion, an infinite crimson divine light burst forth. The two mace strikes, like divine pillars descending from the immortal realm, blazed across the sky!
The two divine pillars traversed the heavens, shattering the fate of the country that was constantly gathering from all directions. Layers of divine fire extended downwards, engulfing Blackwater Palace!
The imperial sword in his hand vibrated violently. The fate of the country could not converge and dissipated. The Blackwater Immortal Emperor's expression instantly changed. He looked up at Wen Yuan, who was surveying the surroundings in the sky above, especially those two divine pillars that descended like an immortal realm. His pupils contracted sharply. Such powerful divine might could actually suppress his fate of the country in the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, especially in front of Blackwater Palace. The Emperor, who was once high and mighty, was now pressed to the ground by Wen Yuan's twin maces! Su Dan Novels
"Insolence!"
"Roar!"
On the other side, the general gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers, stepped into the void, condensed a military formation, and the Ya Yu emerged, transforming into a spear, directly striking towards Wen Yuan. Along the way, the two mace strikes were almost shattered!
Boom!
Xian Zhen waved his military banner, and a black sword light shot up. The millions of Black Tortoise soldiers roared in unison!
The sword energy condensed by the military formation annihilated everything!
"Immortal Emperor!"
"Dodge!!"
The general was terrified. The full-force strike of hundreds of thousands of soldiers was actually destroyed by Xian Zhen's single sword, and even the military formation behind them was shattered, turning over a hundred thousand soldiers into blood mist!
