"Patriarch, in this battle, our Sword God Holy Land has killed 600,000 troops from the Xiling Imperial Dynasty and 540,000 from the Nantian Aristocratic Family. Our side has lost 320,000 sword cultivators."
Jian Dong caressed Jian Feiyu's long sword as a disciple clearing the battlefield reported respectfully. He sighed with relief, and without looking up, said, "Go!"
Although this battle yielded considerable gains, the Sword God Holy Land was also severely wounded. Jian Feiyu's death severed the grand ambitions of the Sword God Holy Land's four top Venerables.
...
"General, the battle situation in the West Sea Plain has been decided. The Great General of the Xiling Imperial Dynasty, Qian Yong, and the Patriarch of the Nantian Aristocratic Family, Nantian Guanyu, have fallen. Millions of troops lie scattered across the West Sea."
Thirty li north of the West Sea Plain, stars dotted the sky, and the faint scent of blood still lingered in the air.
"Mm!"
Yang Ye, illuminated by the moonlight, looked at the military report from the Gluttonous Army. Gao Ying, the commander of the Gluttonous Army, had already annihilated the ancestral land of the Nantian Aristocratic Family the previous night, killing the Nantian Aristocratic Family's Grand Elder, Nantian Cun.
"General Han, the foundation of the Nantian Aristocratic Family has been uprooted. The Gluttonous Army has launched a three-pronged offensive, conquering all the cities in the central and southern regions of the Zhongyuan Realm and continuously advancing towards Sanyuan Pass."
"The West Sea battle has ended, and the war in the Zhongyuan Realm should also come to a conclusion!"
Han Shizhong's expression remained unperturbed as he gazed in the direction of the West Sea Plain. "With the collapse of the Xiling Imperial Dynasty, the Xiniu Realm is now under the control of our Great Han. Our Great Han's various armies have marched beyond our borders, and each has achieved its gains. The border blockade of the Fire Cloud Cave has been completed. I believe the Myriad Beast Realm will soon submit to the Human Emperor."
"Commander, it's time to devour the 'fat meat' of Jian Dong in the West Sea Plain!"
"The West Sea battle has only recently subsided. The Sword God Holy Land, having annihilated millions of troops from the Xiling Imperial Dynasty and the Nantian Aristocratic Family, must be severely weakened and exhausted. This is an excellent opportunity."
"Indeed!"
Yang Ye nodded indifferently, looking at Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu, Lu Junyi, and He Yuanqing by his side.
"Notify the entire army to annihilate Jian Dong's army and unify the Zhongyuan Realm!"
...
The dark night could not quell the fury of the West Sea Plain. Blood flowed like water, propelled by the strong wind, crashing against the corpses.
Jian Dong stood alone before the main tent, gazing at the blood-soaked land. The law of the jungle prevailed; only the strong could possess and dominate this vast land.
"Who?"
Suddenly, Jian Dong's eyes widened in horror, his long hair flying. In the northern sky, at the end of the West Sea Plain, a hint of crimson flickered faintly.
"Roar~~"
The roars of tigers echoed through the void, dispelling the thick smell of blood!
North of the West Sea Plain, Yang Ye held a blood-red war bow. The bowstring was drawn taut like a full moon. Waves of powerful tiger roars condensed between the bow and the string into a white arrow. The elemental energy of the entire West Sea Plain continuously converged onto the white arrow.
The condensation of blood-red energy filled the White Tiger's eye at the center of the war bow with fierce, bloody malice.
The White Tiger presided over the path of slaughter, a god of war. With the addition of dense blood energy, it was as if it had divine assistance.
The white and red flowing light, like a divine sun, dispelled the darkness and illuminated the void near the West Sea Plain.
The light shone upon the land, and a vast sea of blood rolled. Corpses lay piled up like mountains. The vast land of the West Sea Plain was strewn with shattered bodies.
"Buzz~~"
"Crack crack crack!!"
The ground before Yang Ye began to fracture inch by inch. The blood sea to the north rapidly dried up, and the dense weeds turned to dust.
Suddenly, Yang Ye's eyes brightened. Strands of blood-red energy, accompanied by tiger roars, swirled and flowed around his arms. "Fire!"
"Rumble!!"
The arrow formed by the white and red flowing light, like a divine White Tiger, roamed freely and struck with lightning speed. A ten-zhang wide and unfathomably deep gully appeared, as if to split the West Sea Plain in two, carrying the dense killing intent of the void as it charged towards Jian Dong.
The flowing light flashed, like a ravenous White Tiger in a sea of blood, instantly devouring the thick, unresolvable blood energy on the battlefield.
Rumble!!
Jian Dong, in shock, watched the terrifying fluctuations of elemental energy in the distance and was momentarily stunned. Within a single breath, the Azure Dragon Divine Arrow had reached within a hundred zhang of Jian Dong.
"What is that?"
"Not good!"
"Boom boom boom!!"
The terrifying power, like that of a god and demon from the abyss, made Jian Dong break out in a cold sweat. His face turned pale as he hastily activated the four peak Venerable sword qi nurtured within his sword bone.
The sword qi burst forth with instantaneous power!
"Rumble!!"
The White Tiger struck down, and a gigantic mushroom cloud erupted from the ground, tearing through layers of elemental energy.
"Pfft!"
Jian Dong was sent flying, his armor cracking. A white, flowing arrow pierced three inches into Jian Dong's chest.
"Hoo......"
"Hoo......"
Jian Dong trembled, looking at the sky in the distance. His four peak sword intents were unable to resist this mysterious arrow.
If not for the last-minute activation of another peak sword intent from his sword bone, he would have likely lost his life on the spot.
The White Tiger arrow's elemental energy was depleted, and it vanished into nothingness.
Tens of thousands of sword cultivators, who had reacted, stepped into the void, drawing their swords. Dense white sword qi clashed in the air, firmly protecting Jian Dong.
Yang Ye, in the distance, frowned. "It seems a bloody battle is unavoidable!"
Not long after, Yang Ye, leading the White Tiger Army, advanced into the heart of the West Sea Plain, coldly eyeing the tense sword cultivators.
"What power is this?"
"How dare you ambush this Venerable!"
Jian Dong swallowed a pill, stabilizing his injuries. He roared angrily. This single arrow had almost claimed his life.
As the army continued to advance, two banners, radiating different divine light, appeared within Jian Dong's sight. One was covered in yellow dragon energy, inscribed with "Han!"; the other was white, imbued with immense killing intent, a White Tiger divine beast with scarlet eyes, casting its gaze upon the heavens!
"Great Han Imperial Dynasty!"
Jian Dong's pupils contracted sharply. A power he had ignored, even disdained, a Great Han Imperial Dynasty that should not have appeared here, had materialized out of thin air in the Zhongyuan Realm.
This single arrow shattered his five peak sword intents. How powerful was that? It was likely comparable to the Grand Elder Jian Chen.
Observing the hundreds of thousands of troops behind him, the elemental energy of Tianwu martial arts flowed through the bodies of each soldier. A Tianwu army!!
Jian Dong swallowed hard, looking at Yang Ye, who held a long saber before the army. His expression turned panicked.
It was this top-tier Venerable who, with a single arrow, had forced him to use five trump cards, five times!
That was five life-saving sword intents!
Jian Dong nervously gripped his long sword, watching the advancing Tianwu army of the Great Han Imperial Dynasty.
"Commander of the Great Han Imperial Dynasty's White Tiger Army—Yang Ye!"
Standing at the front of the formation, Yang Ye held his long saber and looked directly at Jian Dong in the void, his eyes flashing with saber intent, startling Jian Dong into instinctively taking a small step back.
