Following this, the Third Legion, numbering perhaps hundreds of thousands of soldiers, marched forward. Their Kui Niu armor pulsed with a deep, ancient divine light, resembling colossal, weathered mountains.
Soldier after soldier, wielding long spears, quickly formed ranks. The core of the Third Legion's formation was built around the Qi family army, steeped in Qi Jiguang's rigorous training for twenty years.
"Rise!"
Qi Jiguang's roar echoed as he surveyed the vast army.
"Rise!"
"Rise!"
"Rise!"
The entire Third Legion bellowed three times in unison. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers raised their Qi family sabers, their blades imbued with a terrifying, ferocious killing intent.
Especially as the pale green light emanating from the grand formation was refracted by hundreds of thousands of Qi family sabers, the formation's radiance gradually turned white.
"Break!!"
Qi Jiguang, holding his Qi family saber, his face solemn, stood at the very front of the Third Legion. Facing a barrier, he shouted loudly, and instantly, dark clouds pressed down, growing ever more oppressive.
"Break!"
"Break!"
"Break!"
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers channeled their power outward. Saber intent erupted, and the Qi family sabers vibrated faintly. Saber intent exploded in the void, the terrifying tremors shaking the heavens and earth. A thousand-zhang saber projection coalesced.
Boom!
Under Qi Jiguang's command, hundreds of thousands of soldiers simultaneously unleashed their most powerful strikes forward.
The thousand-zhang saber projection roared with saber intent. The barrier blocking the army's path was instantly swept by unparalleled sharpness. This grand formation, created by the founding emperor of the Feng An Divine Dynasty, a formation that even Bu Ping Long found daunting, shattered instantaneously under the unified, mighty blow of the Third Legion of the Kui Niu Army.
With the barrier shattered, the entire grand formation collapsed.
Boom!
The terrifying saber energy did not dissipate. After breaching the grand formation, it continued to advance for dozens of miles. The void shattered, trees vanished, and even the earth was ripped open, sending layers of soil flying into the void.
Just as this terrifying saber energy was about to dissipate, the million-strong army led by Fei Liang Gong, Liao Ti, and Wu Le Yu happened to arrive.
With a boom, the elite soldiers at the forefront, along with some officers, felt a surge of heat that instantly sealed their divine power. Before they could react, their very consciousness was blasted into blood mist, covering several miles. Thick blood stained the grotesque earth.
"Ah..."
"What is it?"
"What is it??"
Soldiers slightly further back, their minds still reeling, instantly lost their psychological fortitude when the scorching blood rained down upon them. Panic began to spread within their hearts.
Although they were the elite forces of the Feng An Divine Dynasty, this sudden, unannounced event temporarily stripped them of their soldier's spirit.
The grand formation shattered, and countless clusters of spiritual energy rained down in all directions. Some burned fiercely, others were sharp and piercing, accompanied by rolling smoke and dust.
Rumble!!
The ancient forest erupted with a deafening roar, igniting rolling smoke. Terrifying fire dragons shot out in all directions, punctuated by earth-shattering explosions.
"Kill!"
As the shattered grand formation’s debris scattered, Fu Youde sensed the aura of the army ahead and did not hesitate to issue his command.
"Kill!"
Qi Jiguang led the charge, commanding the Third Legion forward. Soon, they emerged from the ruins of the grand formation. Countless saber projections flickered in the void, accompanied by roaring sounds as waves of saber energy swept forward.
"Screech~~~..."
Blood once again spattered. This time, the attack was not as terrifying as before. The soldiers of the Feng An Divine Dynasty were not vaporized; instead, they were torn apart. Pieces of flesh and blood flew everywhere, and blood rained down in the void.
"What's happening?!"
"How is this possible??"
"This formation, even an army led by a Saint King would have to shed a layer of skin. They just formed it, how did they achieve this??"
At this moment, Fei Liang Gong, having regained his senses, stared with eyes as devoid of life as if his pupils had lost their spirit. Wu Le Yu and Liao Ti beside him paled, their faces contorted in shock as they gazed at the Kui Niu Army soldiers emerging from the bloody rain.
Especially as Qi Jiguang emerged, wielding his Qi family saber, the three of them were startled. His face was so terrifyingly imposing, so commanding. Yes! It was the Great Han Kui Niu Army. They had indeed broken the grand formation and emerged unharmed.
"Quick! The front army retreats to the rear!"
"The middle army becomes the front army and defends immediately!"
Fei Liang Gong was momentarily stunned for only a few breaths before quickly regaining composure. He issued a series of commands, rapidly reorganizing the out-of-control front army.
Caught completely off guard, tens of thousands in the front army had already perished. Fortunately, Fei Liang Gong's command was timely, and the army quickly adjusted, adopting a defensive posture, watching intently as the Kui Niu Army gradually emerged from the ruins of the grand formation.
"Boom!!"
In the northwest, Bu Ping Long raised his hand, and the army instantly halted.
"Hmm?"
"The grand formation shattered!!"
"Who broke it?"
"The Great Han Celestial Dynasty??"
Bu Ping Long's expression was dazed. The moment this grand formation took shape, he had felt the aura of death from afar. Besides Feng Sheng, a Saint Realm expert, the Great Han Kui Niu Army also had Fu Youde, whose capabilities were completely unknown.
"Is it Fu Youde??"
"Feng Sheng alone could not have broken it. Great Han Celestial Dynasty, we truly cannot tolerate you!!" Bu Ping Long's eyes turned increasingly crimson. The Great Han Celestial Dynasty was too formidable. To this day, Bu Ping Long wished to avoid confronting the Great Han Army.
"General, look, that mysterious grand formation is broken!"
In the southeast of the battlefield, Sun Chengzong, leading half of the Second Legion's soldiers, was gradually encircling the enemy. Suddenly, the sky roared, and the six towering pillars of formation light directly collapsed.
"It must be Commander Fu who encountered the Feng An Divine Dynasty's army!"
Sun Chengzong's brow furrowed. He observed the scattered light clusters, sensing faint traces of Qi family saber intent within them.
"All units, maintain defensive formation. Do not let these light clusters touch you!"
Sun Chengzong, sensing the threads of saber intent, hurriedly instructed. The terrifying energy contained within these clusters was something ordinary soldiers could not withstand.
"The main force has already engaged the Feng An Divine Dynasty head-on. We are a bit late. We entered this forest earlier, and after traveling for so long, we still haven't found the location of the Yao Guang Divine Dynasty's army."
The deputy general said with some disappointment.
Their Second Legion had infiltrated the forest in advance, intending to locate the Yao Guang Divine Dynasty's army, seize the opportunity to annihilate them, or prevent the fusion of the two armies. However, after entering the forest, they found no trace of the Yao Guang Divine Dynasty.
"Since we cannot find them, let us proceed to the main battlefield. Perhaps the Yao Guang Divine Dynasty's army has already encountered the Feng An Divine Dynasty."
Sun Chengzong spoke with a hint of hesitation.
