An unstoppable showdown.
On the summit, the First Prince's expression was extremely ugly. His subordinate had not returned for a long time, and Xie Jiushan had not shown himself either. This made him feel uneasy.
"Father, should we stop this military exercise?" The Third Prince asked again.
Although Long Chen had displayed unparalleled strength in the first trial, Qin Lie still felt uneasy in his heart. Xie Jiushan's absence had also caused him to be deeply worried.
Xie Jiushan wanted to kill Long Chen to the bone. The three stages of the military exercise would definitely be more dangerous than the previous one.
Everyone looked at Qin Qing. A third-grade King Rank demonic beast had appeared in the first round. Moreover, a major general and two thousand soldiers had been killed because of it. Moreover, Long Chen had shown his combat strength at the moment. If he died here, it would not be worth it.
Qin Qing stared at Long Chen and said in a deep voice, "Ask Xie Jiushan to come see me. There seems to be something wrong with today's military exercise …"
The old man behind Qin Qing nodded and walked down the mountain. However, not long after he left, shouts could be heard from the valley.
Whoosh!
Soldiers and armors slowly walked out from all directions of the valley. Tens of thousands of them gathered in the area dozens of miles in front of the troops.
At the bottom of the valley, huge crossbows were erected on top of the boulders …
Then, a black-faced middle-aged general with a red iron spear in his hand and a three-horned blood wolf riding on top of him shouted in a deep voice, "The second stage of the military exercise, the two armies face each other!"
The moment this person appeared with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, the spectators on the mountain peak all sucked in a breath of cold air. The Third Prince was even more shocked as he said, "How could Xie Jiushan dare to do this? These tens of thousands of elite soldiers are all veterans who have experienced the battlefield. Even one against two would not be a problem. There are also those heavy silver crossbows … there are at least a hundred of them!"
Swoosh!
Arrows were shot out one after another, tearing through the air. Spiritual light flickered on the crossbows, and wherever they passed, mountains and stones would be split.
Not only that, but after these tens of thousands of elite soldiers appeared, formation runes spread out in all directions of the Hundred Mile Valley, like a transparent water curtain that cut through space.
* Whoosh … *
One of the giant birds couldn't dodge in time and was instantly cut open by the array formation, causing blood to spray out.
On the peak, Qin Qing's face gradually darkened. He asked in a deep voice, "Where is Xie Jiushan? What is he doing? Why did he activate the defensive formation of the Hundred Mile Valley …?"
Unfortunately, no one answered. The First Imperial Prince's face was also ashen. He thought to himself that Xie Jiushan had really gone crazy this time.
"What's going on? Why is the defensive formation activated? Isn't this formation only activated during the military exercise between the generals?"
"Why are there heavy crossbows? These heavy crossbows are powerful enough to kill Divine Transformation cultivators. Why are there a hundred of them? Aren't they pushing us to our deaths …?"
"I give up, I give up on this military exercise!"
"I give up too. I don't want the rank of major general anymore!"
…
Inside the valley, the major generals realized the seriousness of the situation. If such a terrifying lineup really charged at each other, only death would await everyone.
Especially the crossbows. With the support of the array formation, they were powerful enough to kill Divine Transformation cultivators. Hundreds of crossbows were simply a nightmare for them!
On the peak of the mountain, the First Imperial Prince's face flashed a cold smile. He stared at Long Chen from afar and then said again, "Those who give up should retreat to the edge. Naturally, you won't be affected by the second stage!"
Everyone immediately retreated as if they had been granted amnesty.
Only Long Chen didn't move. The eight chiliarchs saw that all the major generals in the other corridors had retreated and couldn't help but ask, "General, let's give up!"
Long Chen shook his head and said indifferently, "Do you think the rules he spoke of will work on me? I'm afraid that as long as we have the slightest intention to retreat, we will be greeted with a sky full of crossbows …"
The eight chiliarchs' faces were very ugly. Now, they were in the same boat as Long Chen.
The chiliarchs in the lead gritted his teeth and bowed to Long Chen. He said in a deep voice, "Since the major general said that the three stages can be broken with a snap of the finger, we are willing to follow you to death!"
The other seven chiliarchs looked at each other and followed closely behind.
The scene of Long Chen using the array formation just now had a great impact on them. They weren't stupid people. They knew that as long as Long Chen didn't die today, he would definitely be put in an important position by the empire.
Moreover, they could only believe in Long Chen. They hoped that Long Chen would have such a heaven-defying trump card again …
Seeing the eight chiliarchs like this, Long Chen smiled faintly. It was as if no matter how dangerous the situation was, he was always calm and collected, as if victory was in his grasp.
Long Chen said, "I said that as long as you act according to my orders, you will definitely pass the three stages today. However, these hundreds of crossbows are somewhat beyond my expectations."
Array formation!
With Long Chen's order, the 8,000 soldiers roared in unison. The dazzling array formation surged again, but this time, the array formation began to change.
Long Chen stood in front of the array formation, and in his hand was the Hornless Dragon Sword that he took from the national treasury that day!
"Xuanyuan Sword Array, I live behind it, I die before it … Today, wherever it passes, all life will be extinguished!" Long Chen's long hair fluttered as he stood straight.
The Xuanyuan Sword Array was a sword array that every Celestial Guard had to cultivate when Long Chen established the Firmament God Kingdom in his previous life. Although the 8,000 soldiers behind him were extremely weak and could only exert less than one-hundredth of the array's power, with his understanding of the array formation, it wouldn't be difficult to win today!
At this moment, the eight chiliarchs were completely convinced by Long Chen. During the seven days that Long Chen was away, they had practiced the array formation every day, but it was completely useless. They were even like idiots.
However, now that Long Chen was in the array, the entire array seemed to be attacking and defending as one, and the 8,000 soldiers seemed to be connected to their blood …
As Long Chen's voice fell, everyone's thoughts were scattered, and they felt that everything in front of them was gradually turning blood-red.
The blood-red air, the blood-red mountains, the blood-red earth …
For a moment, everyone felt an unprecedented pressure. Their hearts were restless, and a surge of battle intent shot up to the Ninth Heaven!
Kill, kill, kill!
The 8,000 cavalrymen were facing tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the hundreds of heavy crossbows were the first to move.
"You're courting death! Heavy crossbows, release the arrows … 10,000 cavalrymen, don't linger. Run quickly and break their array formation. 30,000 infantrymen, follow behind and kill them! " When the black-faced general saw that Long Chen had taken the initiative to move, he immediately gave the order in an orderly manner. His response was very reasonable.
As he gave the order, countless soldiers swarmed out. In a moment, within a hundred miles of the valley, dust flew, and arrows filled the sky. The cavalrymen charged, and the 30,000 infantrymen held long swords in their hands …
This place had completely turned into a battlefield!
