The three Grandmasters bore sword marks in fatally critical positions, their dark blood seeping through the void.
Their weapons slipped, and the three Grandmasters crashed powerless onto the battlefield below, their corpses immediately trampled by the myriad troops.
A thousand miles away, Cheng Yaojin was also fighting with unbridled ferocity, his chest exposed, axe light like a tidal wave. Two Grandmasters had already been decapitated.
"Hahahaha!!"
Cheng Yaojin's eyes blazed with ferocity, his face contorted. He swung his three-bladed axe, smashing it down onto the battlefield, sending gravel and sand flying.
Shan Xiongxin also sheathed his Golden Top Zao-yang Spear and stepped into the ground battle. The three Grandmasters he had intercepted were reduced to mere dust, with only faintly fluctuating spiritual energy to attest to the brutality of the war.
With the addition of the three Grandmasters, the battlefield erupted completely.
Axe light swept, spear light pierced the sky, sword energy crisscrossed, and corpses were embraced tightly by the earth, countless drops of blood staining the border between the two nations.
The instantaneous conclusion of the Grandmaster battle sent Wan Yan Zongxiao and Yelü Deguan's eyes splitting, cold light flashing.
Wan Yan Zongxiao attacked with his sword, eliciting a flash of red light. Using Yelü Deguan's spiritual energy, his body suddenly sprang into the void and instantly descended upon Qi Jiguang.
Yelü Deguan's eyes flashed with cold light. He followed closely behind the lunging Wan Yan Zongxiao, stepping forward, veins bulging, his face ferocious.
For so many years, their Liao kingdom had reigned supreme. Which of the surrounding kingdoms, big or small, had not bowed their heads in submission? Yet today, this newly established Han kingdom had actually killed Yelü Xin in Chang'an.
And now they were forcefully confronting their Liao and Jin kingdoms. Ten Grandmasters had bled out at the border, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers had been slaughtered. Where was their kingdom's prestige? Where was the dignity of these two men!
Thinking of this, Yelü Deguan raised his great saber, igniting an inferno of rage. Layers of virtual flames blazed behind him, suffusing half the void. With a single strike, the heavens and earth roared, and the sun and moon seemed to invert!
Yelü Deguan and Wan Yan Zongxiao, both at the Guiyuan realm, erupted with power. Both were members of the royal family and held great authority. This battle could not be lost!
Sword energy, sharp and piercing, encircled, blasting through the dense killing intent on the battlefield. Swords crisscrossed, pointing directly at Qi Jiguang!
Saber light crisscrossed, echoing the sword energy, carrying with it ten thousand feet of sword intent, fiercely striking forth!
Qi Jiguang set down his Blazing Sun War Axe and drew the Qi Family Army Saber, which he had taken pride in during his previous life.
The Qi Family Army Saber was majestic and imposing. Qi Jiguang advanced with his saber, fearless even if faced with mountains of blades and seas of fire. The Qi Family Army Saber danced in his hands like a swimming dragon.
Qi Jiguang stepped through the void, his body slightly bent. He leaped forward fiercely, the Qi Family Army Saber in his hand like a dragon or tiger. His moves were grand and unrestrained, saber light flashing. There were no flowery techniques, only the passage of time.
Qi Jiguang's eyes fixed on Yelü Deguan and Wan Yan Zongxiao. A smile bloomed on his lips. This battle would be concluded successfully, annihilating the invading enemy!
Strike!
A saber strike fell!
The saber light of the Qi Family Army Saber, the sharp edge of the sword energy, and the blazing saber light, the three forces of spiritual energy, continuously gathered in the void. They directly collided an inch away. Visibly, it was a clash of spiritual energy!
Boom~~
The earth sank, the clouds churned!!
"That's!!"
Jing Ke, Shan Xiongxin, and the others looked up. They saw that the three weapons did not collide. Instead, there was only the constant pounding and compression of their spiritual energies. As the surging spiritual energies clashed, the sight before them instantly turned into a blinding white expanse.
Boom~~
A mushroom cloud surged into the sky. The intense sound waves of the impact directly engulfed several miles around. The military camp was uprooted, and yellow sand swept through the sky, like the end of the world, the heavens collapsing.
Boom~~
Layers of spiritual energy shockwaves continually surged. The sturdy and desolate Bingzhou fortress instantly vanished from sight. Yellow sand swept everywhere, indiscriminate of friend or foe. Within the yellow sand, corpses, weapons, blood, bricks, and stones, warhorses, flew everywhere.
Boom~~
Another earth-shattering roar, deafening, shook the heavens. The weapons of Qi Jiguang and the other two in the center instantly clashed!
Bang!!
The dust continued to billow. A figure instantly flashed out. This person held the Qi Family Army Saber, blood flowing down its blade.
Qi Jiguang's expression was calm. He slowly turned his head and swept his gaze across the entire battlefield!
Of the three fighting fiercely, only Qi Jiguang emerged from the mushroom cloud.
Powerful!
Jing Ke and the others couldn't help but tremble. A few days ago, when Xu Chu had instantly killed Yelü Xin, they hadn't deeply felt the power of the Guiyuan realm.
Today, the three Guiyuan experts battled in the void, and they were thoroughly shocked by the strength of Guiyuan cultivators. A casual strike far exceeded the limits that Grandmasters could withstand.
After a long while, the smoke and dust dispersed.
In the void where the three had fought, the figures of Yelü Deguan and Wan Yan Zongxiao were nowhere to be seen. Below, there was only one corpse and a bloodied, unrecognizable figure.
The blurred, bloody figure struggled to stand up. Only the war saber in his hand allowed those present to identify his identity.
The Liao Kingdom's Guiyuan expert – Yelü Deguan.
He continuously spat blood, his hand gripping the war saber a bloody mess. It was unclear if his hand was holding the saber, or if flesh and blood were fused with it.
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Qi Jiguang slowly walked towards Yelü Deguan. The Qi Family Army Saber gleamed with a faint dark light.
After this battle, no one would be able to resist the iron cavalry of Great Han. This was the phrase that echoed in Yelü Deguan's heart.
Helplessly gazing at the approaching Qi Jiguang, he no longer had any strength to resist. All he could do was stare with wide eyes at a saber light that continuously expanded, and expanded.
Buzz~~
As light radiated before his eyes, the entire world began to spin. A head was flung high into the air.
Qi Jiguang's expression was serene. He glanced at Yelü Deguan's remains.
"Run!"
"Run quickly! They are devils!!"
The surviving allied forces of the two countries looked at their commanders in terror. Their heads had been severed, their faces pale and tinged with purple. Their last vestige of hope, with the fall of Wan Yan Zongxiao and Yelü Deguan, instantly vanished. The myriad troops scattered, fleeing in all directions towards the border cities of the Jin kingdom!
"Jing Ke, Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin, Gao Shun, receive my order!"
Qi Jiguang's expression was calm. He slowly sheathed the Qi Family Army Saber.
"Your subordinate is here!"
The four men instantly came to Qi Jiguang's side, cupping their fists in salute!
"Jing Ke, Gao Shun, pursue northwest. Kill all enemy soldiers you encounter. Refuse any enemy surrender!"
"Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin, pursue northeast!"
Jing Ke and the other three responded with a roar, "Your subordinate obeys!"
Qi Jiguang swept his gaze across them, "Quickly rally your troops and pursue forward. We will rendezvous at Haiyue Pass in the Jin kingdom!"
Immediately, Qi Jiguang led a large army, heading north, relentlessly pursuing the fleeing allied forces of the two countries. The army swept through, smoke rising, corpses strewn everywhere, rivers of blood flowing!
