Lin Zhan watched the two figures charging at him, the icy aura of death pressing down so hard he couldn't even move.
"Haha, you finally showed yourselves. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Though Lin Da Shao's body was paralyzed by fear, his mouth couldn't stop blabbering. How else would he be a big brother?
The Yamata no Orochi beneath him trembled and said, "Holy crap, old uncle, you're amazing. Those are two Emperor positions! Hurry and leave, I'll hold them off for you."
Just as Lin Zhan smelled the stench emanating from the two assassins, two giant hands emerged from the void behind him and slammed down fiercely onto the two assassins.
Two figures, resembling old men, walked out of the void behind Lin Zhan:
"Damn it, am I giving you too much leeway? How dare you lay a hand on a Divine Son of Great Shang? Believe it or not, I'll wipe out your Corpse Lich clan."
The two Corpse Lich assassins, slammed to the ground, saw the newcomers and spoke with difficulty:
"Great Shang Ancient Emperors, Chang Ruo and Cao Yu. I didn't expect Great Shang to value this Divine Son so highly that you'd send two old geezers to guard him."
Lin Zhan looked at the two bewildered Corpse Lich Emperors and said with a smile, "How's that, old buddy? Surprised? Unexpected?"
Compared to his father, Cao Yu, the son, had a more fiery temper:
"Go to hell! Our Great Shang bloodline is precious to us. There's no need for further talk. Your Corpse Lich clan is utterly finished this time."
The two Corpse Lich Emperor assassins exchanged glances, knowing the prowess of Chang Ruo and Cao Yu, but they still intended to fight to the death.
Chang Ruo and Cao Yu, father and son, had already seen through their intentions.
So they struck first. Each grabbed a Human Race Destiny Official Seal and used them like bricks, smashing them down onto the two Corpse Liches.
The two Corpse Liches, caught off guard, were struck on the head by the Human Race Destiny Official Seals and were suppressed on the spot.
Chang Ruo looked at the two Corpse Liches with disdain:
"You two turtles were promoted after the Ancient War, weren't you? You don't even know that Destiny Official Seals can suppress foreign races. How can you fight us?"
"Besides, this area is full of our Human Race disciples. Do you think I'd fight you head-on? Of course, I'd finish this as quickly as possible."
Seeing the two Corpse Liches, Lin Da Shao started to get smug again, pointing at their noses and scolding them:
"Damn it, a blunt knife and a thin horse, how can you fight me? Ancestors, interrogate them severely, you'll definitely get useful information."
Cao Yu, without any preamble, launched into a flurry of punches and kicks against the two:
"I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death! Will you talk or not? Will you talk or not?"
Feeling that punching with bare hands wasn't satisfying enough, he took off his size 45 leather shoes and began smacking their faces relentlessly. Sudan Novel Network
This beating inflicted little damage but was extremely insulting.
The two Corpse Liches were filled with humiliation: "What the hell do you want to know? Just ask!"
Cao Yu raised his leather shoe and brought it down on the head of the speaking Corpse Lich: "I'm asking your mother!"
Then he turned to Shang Tang, who was fighting three black-robed figures, and roared:
"You useless piece of trash, are you still alive? You've been fighting these three partially revived wastes for so long. Hurry up and capture them alive, or I'll beat you to death."
Shang Tang said with a wronged expression, "Didn't you tell me to fight slowly and play along with this act? Otherwise, I would have already killed these three cripples."
After speaking, he unleashed a great Star Fire Blast, disorienting the three black-robed figures.
A thousand-meter-long elephant trunk emerged from the void, tightly binding the three together.
The Desolate Elephant slowly emerged from the void, shaking its massive head.
Upon seeing Chang Ruo and Cao Yu, it quickly put on a fawning expression and said, "Oh, esteemed elders, may you be prosperous."
Chang Ruo clutched his head and said, "Holy crap, how could I forget about you shameless fellow? Tang has advanced to the Emperor position, and you're soul-bound to him, so you must have advanced as well."
The Desolate Elephant chuckled and said, "Esteemed elders, what are you saying? I, the Desolate Elephant, live as a war elephant of Great Shang and die as a dead elephant of Great Shang. Let's not be so formal."
Chang Ruo looked at Shang Tang and said, "You and this shameless creature take these five wastes back to see the Ancestors. Get going quickly, looking at you two gives me a headache."
The Desolate Elephant had a nonchalant expression. "Then, esteemed elders, the Desolate Elephant will take its leave." With that, its long trunk rolled up the two Corpse Liches again, and it carried Shang Tang, tearing through the void as they left.
Seeing that the situation was resolved and his two powerful allies had arrived, the Yamata no Orochi instantly felt invigorated again.
"Old uncle, you're truly the best. You had such a powerful backup plan and didn't tell me sooner."
Lin Zhan nodded and chuckled, "Isn't that a given? Who do you think I am? Now that this is settled, we should get down to business."
He then shouted to his personal guards:
"Relay an order to Tiemuzhen to lead the Prairie Wolf Cavalry into the battlefield."
"Relay an order to Marshal Wang Jian to lead the Second Army Group into the battlefield."
In just half an hour, two massive armies were fully engaged, poised to attack.
Lin Zhan said to Tie Lao Si, "The Iron Eater Beast Legion, along with Great Shang's Black Bird Army, will attack the Necromancer clan's pass fortress. You must take the pass fortress within two hours."
Tie Lao Si and Di Xin nodded and said, "Rest assured."
They then went off to assemble their respective troops, preparing to launch an assault on the pass fortress guarding the valley.
Lin Zhan said to the Yamata no Orochi beneath him:
"Yamata, take the Liu family's kings and the Dragon Beasts and prepare to charge the formation. Tiemuzhen will lead the wolf cavalry close behind. Slaughter every single undead soldier from all three directions. This is a war of extermination, no need to leave any survivors."
As he spoke, he leaped off the Yamata no Orochi and landed on Xiao Bao.
"Ancestor Tiemuzhen, it's time for you and your Prairie Eagles to show your strength."
Tiemuzhen gave a slight military salute, his eyes gleaming with sharp, ferocious light. "Rest assured, my lord, the Prairie Eagles will..."
Before Tiemuzhen could finish, his younger brother Hesar pulled him away:
"Alright, big brother, let's stop with the 'Prairie Eagles.' Our eagles have disgraced themselves so much lately, they're like chicks. If we can't kill properly this time, we'll go back and start a chicken farm."
Lin Zhan then said to Wang Jian, "Ancestor Wang Jian, hold the defensive line here and be ready to support the armies in all four directions. Also, send someone to find the Ninth, alive or dead."
"Oh, and tell the soldiers to keep an eye out. If they find a turtle shell, they've found the Ninth."
As soon as Lin Zhan finished speaking, Xiao Hei reminded him, "Boss, isn't the Ninth wearing a Black Tortoise shell? I can already sense its location. I'll take people to find him."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "Hurry, before he completely freezes if we're any later."
With that, he waved his hand, and the 5,000 Great Shang Ancestral Court Guard also followed.
