"Damn it!"
The Bei Ming Ren Wang's face was cold, the flesh of his face trembled involuntarily, and a wave of panic began to spread in the royal palace.
"General Xu Sheng, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, rushed for a thousand miles and set up heavy ambushes before the arrival of the Great Han, how could this happen?"
A burly man in golden armor, with a helmet shaped like a falcon, narrowed his eyes, and wisps of murderous aura vibrated, making the civil officials and loyal subjects tremble.
"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer. Xu Sheng, who commanded hundreds of thousands of our Bei Ming's elite troops, perished in one battle. The Great Han must have sent their most elite army. I, your humble servant, request to lead the ten thousand royal guards out of the city to fight!"
"General Lü, what are your chances?" An old minister stepped forward, his brow furrowed with worry. "General, the Great Han's might is far beyond what our Bei Ming can contend with. General Xu Sheng, who commanded the nation's elites, could not stop the Great Han's cavalry."
"Presumptuous!"
"Grand Tutor, do not boost the enemy's morale and deflate our own!"
"No matter how powerful the Great Han is, I, your humble servant, will still march forward with my saber!" General Lü's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he glared at the Grand Tutor.
"General Lü, the fate of the Bei Ming dynasty rests on your shoulders!" The Bei Ming Ren Wang's eyes were somewhat dazed. The news of General Xu Sheng's entire army being annihilated was too shocking. These soldiers were the fruit of the entire dynasty's labor and heart, and now they were all dead in one battle.
...
The Cang Lan Dynasty, the most prosperous dynasty under the affiliated forces of the Sheng Yuan Imperial Dynasty. To call it a dynasty would be more accurate to say it was the clan power of the Ning family, one of the top ten forces of the Sheng Yuan Imperial Dynasty. Ten thousand years ago, the Ning family, having assessed the situation, successfully allied with the then crown prince, and later, after enduring countless hardships, successfully inherited the position of Human Emperor.
As for the Zhang family, one of the top ten forces at the time, they fell from grace. With the enhancement of the Human Emperor's sacred decree, the Ning family took the Zhang family's place and even incorporated the Cang Lan Dynasty, which had narrowly escaped annihilation by Ren Wang Mang, into their domain.
Under the support of the Ning family, the Cang Lan Dynasty had developed for ten thousand years, becoming the most powerful nation among the dynasties. Within the dynasty, there were several top-tier experts in the Ling Hai realm, and even an elder of the Ning family at the Ling Zun level was stationed there. It could be said to be unrivaled.
"Hahaha, Elder Ning, congratulations, congratulations!" The Cang Lan King, with an eagle's face, raised his wine cup with a smile.
"Alas, Brother Cang, these days on your territory have been most pleasant. I am deeply favored by the clan leader, and now that I have returned to the Ning family, I will not forget your efforts these past few days!" Elder Ning said with a smug look.
Although he was a member of the Ning family and possessed the strength of a fifth-level Ling Zun, he had made a grave mistake in his youth and was banished to the Cang Lan Dynasty to manage its affairs for the family.
"Buzz~~"
At this moment, the clear sky, which had been cloudless for miles, was suddenly filled with rolling thunder. In an instant, the entire Cang Lan Dynasty echoed with thunderous roars, and an invisible pressure violently descended upon the capital of the Cang Lan Dynasty.
"Who... who dares to be so presumptuous in my royal capital!"
The Cang Lan King's eagle eyes stared at the edge of the sky. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt as if tens of thousands of heavy mountains had instantly pressed down upon him from the sky.
"Boom!!"
"Ah!!"
The Cang Lan King's body instantly shattered the throne beneath him, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in. He was directly crushed, his face turning red, and his entire body began to bleed slightly. With a bang, he was forced back into his original form, dust and sand flying everywhere.
"Elder Ning!!"
The Cang Lan King's massive body contorted and rolled, desperately trying to break free from the immense pressure. Feathers began to seep with misty blood, and his pair of cyan wings were completely stained red.
"Presumptuous!"
"Who dares to show off in front of me? Are you not afraid of my Ning family annihilating your entire clan?"
Elder Ning, who had been drinking, was suddenly flushed red, as if he had lost control of his body. His entire person began to sink towards the ground.
"Pfft!"
The immense pressure made him spit out a mouthful of blood. His strength as a fifth-level Ling Zun was enough to disdain the entire dynasty, yet how could this be?
"Ning family?"
"What is the Ning family?"
A voice surged from all directions of the Cang Lan Dynasty, extremely deep and resonant.
"Bang!!"
"Bang!!"
"Bang!!"
In an instant, apart from Elder Ning, who was at the Ling Zun realm, everyone else suddenly seemed to have been struck by lightning. The Cang Lan King's body cracked, and his bones could be seen through his flesh.
"Ah!"
"Boom!!"
In an instant, the entire Cang Lan Dynasty exploded everywhere, and blood splattered, as if the entire capital had been washed with flesh and blood.
"Bang!"
"Scrape!!"
Li Wenzhong, relying on his blood-red saber, drew a vast river of blood across the sky above the Cang Lan Dynasty. Within the river, it seemed as if tens of thousands of corpses were piled up into mountains.
"You..."
"You are seeking death!!"
Elder Ning, enduring the immense pressure, had blood flowing from his seven orifices, making it difficult for Li Wenzhong to see his face clearly.
Elder Ning harbored extreme hatred for Li Wenzhong at this moment. Just as he had received the clan leader's orders and was filled with joy, he attended a farewell ceremony held by the Cang Lan King for him. But this Great Han general suddenly appeared and nearly took his life with a single move.
His body suddenly trembled, and he instantly burst forth with drops of blood. He broke free from the immense pressure, clenched his hand, and a long spear appeared. The blood on his body flowed down his arm, dyeing the cold spear a fiery red.
"Ah!!"
Without hesitation, he unleashed a spear strike, a spear light filled with his lifetime of understanding of the spear dao, ringing out coldly. The chilling gleam was extremely sharp, directly scattering the layers of blood mist around him.
Li Wenzhong looked coldly at the vast Cang Lan Dynasty, with only Elder Ning still stubbornly resisting, his expression unchanged.
"Boom!"
Li Wenzhong moved his wrist, and his saber instantly let out a "swish!"
"Boom!!"
A vast gully, swirling with waves of blood, accompanied by a deafening roar.
"Boom!!"
"Crackling!!"
Huge, blood-red lightning bolts seemed to connect heaven and earth, and a river of blood erupted with rolling waves, majestic and vast, like a blood-red dragon roaring forth.
With the emergence of the blood-red river, it was as if the gates of the nine netherworlds had opened, and an invincible blood-red sharpness obscured the sky and sun. The sky above the entire capital seemed to be a scarlet blood sun.
Elder Ning's face instantly changed drastically: "Top-tier... top-tier Ling Zun!!"
"No!!"
The spear light was directly swallowed by the blood-red river. His eyes bulged, and the peerless saber edge approached. His hands, which held the spear, could not help but tremble slightly.
"Boom!!"
With a saber strike, drops of blood cascaded down, staining the sky with blood!
