"What..."
Both Lian Jin and Gu Huang, along with the subjects of the Great Han, were stunned. They had invoked the power of heaven and earth to tear Fang Yu, a cultivator of the Creation realm, into five pieces in the void!
This...
That was a powerhouse of the Creation realm!
Not someone like Tong Tian!
For a hundred thousand years, humanity had not produced a single Creation realm cultivator; in fact, the Creation realm had become a mythical realm!
"Gu Huang wantonly invaded our borders, and shall be executed!"
Fu Hao gripped her bronze battle-axe. Her exquisite face betrayed no murderous intent, only her words echoing through the void.
Suddenly, the bronze battle-axe emanated a verdant light. Her beautiful face turned icy, and a torrent of killing intent surged outwards.
Fu Hao raised her bronze battle-axe. A vast divine might surged towards the nine heavens, shaking the firmament!
The bronze battle-axe faintly emitted a melancholic melody that entwined in the void. She raised it high and swung it down horizontally. The axe whistled, and axe light crisscrossed, churning the surroundings!
"Boom!"
The void trembled as a colossal bronze axe, suffused with wisps of divine might, materialized. Waves of extraordinary elemental energy continuously radiated forth. The horizontal sweep of the battle-axe further amplified the divine might within the crisscrossing axe light!
The battle-axe descended, its divine might unfathomable!
"Ah!"
"You mere human woman, with a frail body and weak vital energy, dare to wield an axe and scorn this elder!"
"The blood feud of the Sky Devouring Wolf clan will be repaid by you first!"
Zi Fu held a blood-red, curved longsword. Behind him, nine blood-shadowed heads swayed in the void.
He drew his sword, and sword intent traversed the sky. Though it lacked the ethereal, immortal aura of Li Bai, nor the fierce power of Wang Yue, it was sinister and venomous, like a viper weaving strands of blood-red light.
"Boom!"
The downward swing of the axe directly shattered the longsword in Zi Fu's hand. The bronze battle-axe then resounded like a bell, its terrifying vibrations erupting and obliterating the nine-headed serpent phantom behind him.
His long hair scattered, his face was pale.
Blood flowed from the arm Zi Fu held his sword with. He looked incredulously at the woman holding the bronze battle-axe in the void. A single axe light had completely suppressed his nine-headed serpent avatar.
The more he looked at the woman, the more terrifying she seemed. His face gradually contorted. The Great Han could have annihilated the Sky Devouring Wolf clan with little effort. Such a powerful cultivator resided within the Great Han, within humanity itself; he was likely doomed.
Especially the bronze battle-axe in her hand, which possessed an extremely terrifying aura. That aura was like divine might, suppressing his bloodline and rendering him immobile. The more he looked at the bronze battle-axe, the more it felt like the Nine Netherworlds, and an extreme fear instantly filled his eyes.
"By order of the Human Emperor, it is decreed that Zi Fu of the Blood Forest in the Nine Nether Desolate Region be cut in half at the waist, execution to commence immediately!"
Fu Hao shouted, and the bronze battle-axe in her hand instantly transformed into a stream of green light. This stream of light possessed a unique sense of gravitas, even a faint aroma of incense.
The stream of light soared into the nine heavens, manifesting as a colossal bronze battle-axe. Though it was formed from condensed elemental energy, to Zi Fu's eyes, it appeared incredibly real, and sufficiently terrifying to fill him with dread.
"This..."
"No..."
Zi Fu was about to step away but found himself utterly unable to move. He couldn't even control a single hair. In the void, the blue lightning dragon that had previously trapped Fang Yu now firmly bound him, leaving him immobile.
"Cut!"
Fu Hao gripped the stream of light with her right hand and swung it forcefully towards Zi Fu. A deathly stillness startled Zi Fu, his face contorted in a grimace as if he saw his head falling.
The axe descended, cleaving him in two at the waist. His primordial spirit was directly annihilated by the green stream of light.
"Elder Zi Mu, fight with all you have! Such a pathetic death, how can it befall me!"
Lian Jin's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Looking at the three-foot green sword within the ten-thousand-zhang long river before him, he was filled with rage but dared not speak. His massive eyes seemed locked in place as he gazed at Li Bai, who was dressed in white and savoring his wine.
"Kill!"
Zi Mu, wielding a fiery long saber, stared at Hua Mulan who was observing him. The women of the Great Han were not to be trifled with; one Fu Hao was already so formidable.
He looked at the calm Hua Mulan and struck first. The fiery long saber in his hand conjured a sea of fire. A red fire crow lurked within the sea of flames, gazing at the cold-faced Hua Mulan.
As the saber slashed out, the fire crow flapped its wings and soared into the sky. Though not as terrifying as a Vermilion Bird, it still churned the void into a fiery purgatory.
The fiery long saber in Zi Mu's hand seemed to have eyes, its sharp saber intent fiercely cleaving towards Hua Mulan, like a beam of light shot from the scorching sun in the sky.
Especially after Fang Yu's death, he felt that humanity was no longer the humanity of old. Looking at Li Si, who stood with his hands behind his back, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. What kind of power was this, to be able to mobilize the forces of heaven and earth and tear Fang Yu into five pieces?
As fellow cultivators of the Creation realm, Zi Mu did not believe he stood a chance against Li Si.
"Hmph!"
Hua Mulan let out a cold snort and raised her spear: "It is decreed that Zi Mu of the Fire Spirit Hall in the Primordial Desolate Region be cut in half at the waist, execution to commence immediately!"
"Rumble!!"
Blue lightning flashed across the void, fiercely striking the spear in Hua Mulan's hand. For a moment, the spear seemed to come alive like a thunder dragon.
"Bang!"
Hua Mulan placed her other hand on the spear, and though there was the sound of lightning striking, she remained unharmed.
"Cut!"
Hua Mulan gripped her spear and suddenly thrust it upwards, soaring into the vast nine heavens. If not for the spear transforming into a thunder dragon, Mulan would have been almost invisible.
"Roar!"
Hua Mulan, holding her spear, swung it high and charged down with fury. The thunder dragon roared, and the entire sky seemed to split open with a colossal blue pillar connecting the heavens and earth, descending from the nine heavens to the ground.
"How is this possible!!"
Zi Mu looked up at the thunder dragon above him, which made it difficult to open his eyes. He couldn't believe that a human could possess such world-destroying energy, and it was a human woman!
"Boom!"
The blue thunder dragon opened its massive maw and directly pierced Zi Mu's waist. His wide-open eyes were filled with unwillingness and terror.
"Elder!"
"Ah!"
"Human, filthy humans, how dare you be so arrogant!"
Lian Jin could no longer stand idly by. He hefted his massive axe and furiously swung it towards the ten-thousand-zhang green river.
On the ground, the assembled subjects watched Hua Mulan and Fu Hao in the void. They were all filled with shock. How could any woman be so powerful and iron-willed? Even Empress Weiyang, Marquis Xueyi Fan Zichen, was likely no match for them.
Mao Xiang, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, protected Fan Lingyue and Ling Xuan. He watched Hua Mulan and Fu Hao, who had cut Zi Mu and Zi Fu in half in the void.
