The sword split the void between heaven and earth and evolved into a myriad of stars.
The momentum of the sword was like a river of stars. The force of more than a million catties directly bombarded the void and collapsed it.
This Divinity martial art that was only known in the world but few people had seen before, the Stellar Sword Principle. This time, Zhao Xinghuai finally displayed it in his hands.
In the firmament.
The myriad of stars emerged. The frosty blade energy occupied everyone's sight.
As for the ground below.
It was the battle between the army and the powerhouses of the two armies.
Although the focus of this battle was on the victory or defeat of Zhao Xinghuai and Guan Kai.
But in reality.
In addition to the victory or defeat of the two, the result of the battle between the two armies was also very important.
What kind of conspiracy?
But now, it was useless.
On the plains, the battle between the two armies was the real battle of strength.
As for the players who were participating in the battle, they were like sailboats that were swept into a huge wave. They would be easily crushed by this destructive force.
Bang!
As the arrow pierced through the air, one of the players instinctively activated his protective aura barrier and blocked the arrow outside of his body.
However, just as he blocked the arrow, a squad leader who was fighting with him had already slashed with his blade. The powerful force instantly tore apart the protective aura and overflowed with killing intent.
"Damn!"
The slash came extremely fast and from a very tricky angle. It gave the player a big fright. He had no choice but to retreat to avoid the slash.
However, as soon as he retreated, the other side had already closed in.
Although each slash seemed simple, it was actually the most useful killing move. It forced the player into a corner.
In the same realm.
Compared to these NPCs who had experienced hundreds of battles, the players were still far behind.
The difference was in the blood-licking-blade technique and the exquisite combat skills.
These things.
They were not things that could be learned overnight.
To learn these things, one would need a lot of time and years of fighting to accumulate them bit by bit.
These things could not be imparted to others except for one's own personal understanding.
Although the players had been killing monsters and leveling up over the years, their cultivation realm had improved rapidly. However, in terms of combat experience, they naturally could not be compared to these old soldiers in the army.
Moreover.
The army that Guan Kai brought with him was the elite of the imperial court. Every one of them had been trained with a lot of effort.
Therefore …
It had only been a few rounds since the start of the battle. In a one-on-one battle, unless the player had the advantage of a higher realm, they would be crushed.
Boom!!
Just as the player was forced to the point where he could only parry the attack, a powerful chi exploded from the side and headed straight for the squad leader.
Facing such an attack.
The Ten-Man Squad Leader twisted his body and pulled his saber back. The saber energy was attached to his weapon, giving it the ability to cut through everything. Thus, it easily cut through the Gang Qi.
However, it was also because of this that the original player was relieved. After regaining his senses, he immediately launched an attack.
Chaos!
It was extremely chaotic!
When the two of them clashed, there were only people in sight.
Blades flashed and swords flashed as blood rained down.
In order to distinguish between friend and foe, the only way was to rely on the different outfits on both sides. There was no other way.
"Retreat, retreat!"
"Be careful, there are arrows."
The players were making a big fuss as teams were formed one after another. This was the first time many of them had encountered such a situation.
Both sides had many players participating in the battle.
However, although the players were participating in the battle, it meant that the players' opponents had to be other players.
If they were both players, they could still fight back and forth as rookies pecked at each other.
However, if they were to encounter those old soldiers in the army, the players would be crushed if they could not defeat them in terms of realm.
All of a sudden …
Many players could not adapt to the situation and were eliminated at the fastest speed.
Of course, this was not the case for all players.
Boom —
The stars in the sky dispersed and turned into a shocking sword that slashed down. The long sword turned into a galaxy and fell. Its target was Guan Kai.
The saber energy that could freeze everything slashed out in an attempt to freeze the galaxy.
However, the disparity in strength caused the saber energy to collapse in the face of the galaxy.
Soon after …
Guan Kai's body fell instantly and blood splattered all over the sky.
Zhao Xinghuai held the sword in one hand and stood in the void. His eyes were cold as he looked down at the battle below and Guan Kai who had fallen.
"Guan Kai has been defeated. You don't have to struggle anymore!
"Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
His voice was loud and clear, spreading in all directions.
Instantly …
The morale of the Imperial Court's side fell by more than half. On the contrary, the morale of the rebel army was high.
Guan Kai and Zhao Xinghuai were the core figures of this battle.
The defeat of either of them would cause a huge change.
Now that Guan Kai had been defeated so quickly, it was a serious blow to the Imperial Court's morale.
Below.
Guan Kai fell to the ground. A wound so deep that his bones could be seen appeared on his shoulder. Blood kept flowing out of it. Even with the recovery ability of a Celestial, the wound could not be healed immediately.
Until now.
He could not believe that he would be defeated so quickly.
"Sixth level of the Celestial Being, a Half-Step Grand Sage!"
Guan Kai seemed to have thought of something. There was a hint of horror in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Xinghuai.
Zhao Xinghuai was already a Celestial Being a thousand years ago.
However, he did not expect that Lin Huang would only use a thousand years to go from a beginner Celestial Being to the sixth level of the Celestial Being. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Grand Sage level.
After understanding Zhao Xinghuai's strength, Guan Kai knew that he was going to lose this battle.
Sixth level of the Celestial Being, a Half-Step Grand Sage!
Coupled with the six-seal Dao Artifact …
Unless the Imperial Court sent out a real Grand Sage, it would be possible to suppress Zhao Xinghuai.
Or else …
No one in the Bai Yong residence would be a match for Zhao Xinghuai.
"Retreat!"
Guan Kai endured his injuries and immediately gave the order to retreat.
No one could keep Zhao Xinghuai in check. If they continued to fight, they would suffer more losses.
It was not that the Imperial Court did not send people to test Zhao Xinghuai before. At that time, Zhao Xinghuai only showed that he was about the fourth level of the Celestial Being. He did not reveal too much of his strength at all.
But now …
Zhao Xinghuai had been hiding his strength at that time.
"Kill!"
Guan Kai wanted to retreat. How could Zhao Xinghuai just sit and watch him retreat?
He swung his sword, and the universe evolved. Endless killing intent had already been revealed.
Seeing this …
Guan Kai endured his injuries and slashed out with his saber to block the sword.
But at the same time, under the rebound of this power, his injuries immediately worsened by a few more points.
Roar!
The army formation changed, and the army spirit immediately condensed. The terrifying army spirit that was hundreds of feet tall roared at the sky, blocking Zhao Xinghuai's attack and also blocking the attack of the rebel army spirit.
Even if the army retreated …
At this moment, they were still able to maintain the same formation and defend, fighting as they retreated.
Regarding this …
Zhao Xinghuai could only watch coldly, but he did not attack.
It was true that Grand Sages were powerful.
However, the army formation formed by the army could not be underestimated.
The top army formation of the Great Zhao was enough to contend against Grand Sages.
The army in front of him could be considered the elites of the Great Zhao. Even if he wanted to break through the army formation, it would not be easy.
Not to mention …
Guan Kai's existence …
Although Guan Kai was not as strong as him, he was still a fourth level Celestial Being Grand Sage. As for the injuries on his body, although they seemed serious, he would not lose much of his combat strength.
However, for Zhao Xinghuai …
As long as the Imperial Court's army retreated, he would be able to use the momentum of his victory to further invade the Great Zhao's territory.
Once he controlled the entire Bai Yong Prefecture, there would not be many people in the world who would be able to threaten him.
By the time the news had spread out.
Everyone else had yet to react.
No one expected that Zhao Xinghuai, the Marquis of Bai Yong, would choose to attack the Great Zhao at this time and completely disregard the threat of the Demon Disaster.
Just as this news spread out, Ye Zichen's expression changed.
Almost at the same time …
The Fallen Moon Prefecture and Nanfeng Prefecture also attacked violently. While the Imperial Court was distracted by the Demon Disaster, they expanded their advantage with lightning speed and did not give the Great Zhao any chance to react.
By the time everyone came back to their senses, Ye Zichen had already finished speaking.
More than half of the three prefectures had already fallen into the hands of the rebel army. As for the Imperial Court, they were retreating step by step and had no way to resist.
For a time …
The world, which had originally calmed down because of the demons breaking the seal, was once again filled with the flames of war.
Many people thought that under the threat of the Demonic Disaster, the rebel army would not take any drastic actions given the urgency of the situation.
After all …
Once the Demon Disaster spread, it would not be as simple as just a city or a region.
If they did not pay attention …
It was not impossible for the entire world to be turned into a land of demons.
In the eyes of some people, what the three prefectures were doing now was no different from killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
Middle State Prefecture, Imperial City …
"Ridiculous!"
"Absolutely ridiculous!"
After receiving the news, Xi Yang was furious. He sat on the Emperor's throne and flew into a rage. He did not hide the power of a Diviner as it spread throughout the Imperial Court.
In response, the civil and military officials all lowered their heads and maintained a silent attitude.
Xi Yang's eyes were filled with boundless anger as he coldly stared at the people below. He had the intention of leaving the Imperial City immediately and killing Zhao Xinghuai and the others.
There was nothing he could do about it.
In order to deal with the demons, the Imperial Court had mobilized a large amount of manpower and resources.
Not only did they mobilize the experts of the Imperial Court, but they also forcefully mobilized the experts of the other sects and a large number of players.
The amount of resources needed to do this was not something that could be described with simple numbers.
But now …
The various rebel armies took advantage of this time to launch a large-scale attack on the Imperial Court.
For a time …
The Imperial Court suffered heavy losses. Although no Diviner experts died, many cultivators below the Diviner Realm died. As for the cities and lands, they lost even more.
In the three prefectures of Luoyue, Baiyong, and Nanfeng.
The Imperial Court's control over this was instantly weakened to a freezing point.
After venting his anger …
Xi Yang forced himself to calm down, but his face was still gloomy. He looked at the officials and said coldly, "Dear officials, do you have anything to say?"
As soon as he finished speaking …
One of the officials stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, now that the three prefectures have attacked us while we are dealing with the demon disaster, such actions are against the world and should be condemned by everyone.
However, there is one thing to be aware of, and that is if the other prefectures follow suit, I'm afraid they will be in danger. "
After that person finished speaking, he retreated.
He did not say too much, nor did he specify which prefecture it was.
After all, although some of the prefectures were rebelling, there were still some people who stood on the Imperial Court's side. Among the officials in the Imperial Court, there were also factions of these feudal lords.
Some things could be said vaguely, but could not be said completely.
Or else …
That would be an arduous and thankless task.
"Thousand Mountains Prefecture has not made any moves yet, but we do need to be vigilant. Gu Changqing is a decisive person. If there is a chance, he will not miss it," another person added.
Hearing this.
Xi Yang looked at Yan Caizhe and said, "General Yan, in your opinion, what should we do?"
"Your Majesty, the three prefectures' attacks are surprisingly consistent. They must have planned this beforehand. Although Gu Changqing has not made any moves yet, we still have to be vigilant. I think we should station troops in Thousand Mountains Prefecture to prevent the rebels from attacking."
"The other three prefectures also need to send troops to suppress them as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be other troubles in the future."
Yan Caizhe cupped his hands and replied.
There were only so many feudal lords who had rebelled. The other feudal lords were either on the Imperial Court's side or had an ambiguous attitude.
Under such circumstances …
If the Imperial Court showed a slight disadvantage, it might attract other feudal lords to side with them.
If it really reached the point where they were surrounded by enemies, the Imperial Court would be in a terrible fix.
Xi Yang nodded and said, "General Yan, you're right."
At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing.
"In that case, pass down my order. General Yan will be the Commander-in-Chief and lead the troops to Thousand Mountains Prefecture to guard against more chaos."
In his opinion …
Yan Caizhe had fought with Gu Changqing many times and was quite familiar with Thousand Mountains Prefecture.
He was the best person to deal with Gu Changqing.
After receiving the order, Yan Caizhe did not refuse. Instead, he bowed and accepted the order. "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Also, Dong Fengmao, Duan Xun, and Luo Jing, these three generals, listen up!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
With Duan Xun in the lead, the three of them cupped their hands and stepped forward.
Seeing this …
Many people's hearts skipped a beat.
There were five generals in the Imperial Court. They were the leaders of the military officials. In the past, they had followed the Human Emperor to conquer the world and suppress the demons.
Duan Xun and the others were three of them.
General Who Pacifies the East, Duan Xun.
General Who Pacifies the South, Dong Fengmao.
General Who Pacifies the West, Luo Jing.
It could be said that the three people that Xi Yang mentioned were equivalent to mobilizing half of the military officials' forces.
"There are many rebels now. I hope that the three generals can take action and suppress this chaos."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Good!" Xi Yang nodded and said in a deep voice, "General Pingnan, send troops to Fallen Moon Prefecture. General Pingxi, send troops to Nanfeng Prefecture. As for General Duan, send troops to White Yong Prefecture!"
Hearing these words, Ye Zichen smiled.
Duan Xun and the others looked normal as they cupped their hands and accepted the order.
As for the other civil and military officials, they did not show any strange expressions.
Among the three prefectures, White Yong Prefecture was currently the strongest.
The news of Zhao Xinghuai, the Marquis of White Yong, being a Half-Mighty Figure, had already spread.
Among the five generals, only Dingyuan General Dan Hao and Dong Pingdong General Duan Xun could reach this level.
However, Dan Hao had already gone to various places to suppress the Demon Disaster. The only one he could mobilize was Duan Xun.
"General Duan, Zhao Xinghuai has reached the sixth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty, my hands have been stained with the blood of Half-Mighty Figures. Zhao Xinghuai's head will definitely be taken," Duan Xun said with a resolute expression.
Seeing this …
Xi Yang was also quite satisfied. He nodded and smiled faintly. "With General Duan's words, I can rest assured."
At this moment …
Another person stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, it's rumored that Marquis Beiyun has reached the Half-Mighty Figure level. Why don't you summon him and let him follow the army? This way, Zhao Xinghuai will definitely die."
As soon as he finished speaking …
Many people's expressions changed slightly.
At this time, mobilizing a marquis to fight against another marquis was obviously not a wise choice.
Therefore, when this person finished speaking, someone immediately objected. "Your Majesty, although Beiyun Prefecture is stable now, it still needs an expert to suppress it. Once Marquis Beiyun leaves, I'm afraid others will take advantage of the situation.
Now, our Great Zhao can't suffer any more turmoil! "
When he said the word 'turmoil', his tone was obviously heavier.
Xi Yang frowned slightly. He also had some thoughts in his mind.
If the situation in the Great Zhao was stable now, it was probably only Beiyun Prefecture and a few other prefectures.
He was also a little wary of Marquis Beiyun.
If it were not for the exposure of the Demon Race, the imperial court would not have known that Marquis Beiyun was already a seventh-level Heavenly Human Realm expert.
Similarly.
Since Xi Yang could reach this position, he was not a stupid person. He naturally understood how stupid it was to mobilize Marquis Beiyun to suppress Zhao Xinghuai.
If he did this, there were only two choices in front of Marquis Beiyun.
One was to go to war with the army.
The other was to directly rebel.
This method was equivalent to forcing the other party to take a side. There was no difference.
If it was a normal day, the imperial court would not be afraid of a marquis.
However, in the current situation, the side of a marquis was too important for the imperial court.
Xi Yang did not require the other party to stand on the side of the imperial court. It was enough as long as the other party remained neutral and did not add insult to injury.
Or else …
The situation that he had just taken over had not stabilized much yet, and it would be chaotic again.
Therefore.
After hearing this, Xi Yang shook his head and said, "We will discuss the matter of Marquis Beiyun in the future. With General Duan's strength, suppressing Zhao Xinghuai is not a problem. Moreover, Beiyun Prefecture cannot be chaotic now.
After all, Beiyun Prefecture borders the Demon Race. If there is no expert suppressing it, it will inevitably be coveted by the Demon Race.
Although the Demon Race is now living in the Endless Mountain Range, they have been coveting our Great Zhao for thousands of years. If there is an opportunity, they will definitely not let it go easily. "
"Your Majesty is wise!"
When the officials heard this, they all cupped their hands and replied.
Seeing this, the person who spoke first could not say anything else. He could only bow in agreement and then retreat.
Xi Yang said, "In addition, transfer the forces in each prefecture to suppress the Demon Disaster and increase the offensive against the rebel army. We cannot let the same thing happen again."
"Your Majesty, if we do this, won't we be allowing the Demon Disaster to wreak havoc?"
"Your Majesty, although the rebel army is serious, the Demon Disaster cannot be underestimated. If the Demon Disaster is allowed to spread, I'm afraid the human race will be in danger!"
"Your Majesty, you must not!"
At this moment, the expressions of everyone in the imperial court changed.
Although the rebel army did not care about the danger of the Demon Disaster and attacked the imperial court, they could not just throw away the broken jar.
After all, the world was still under the control of the Great Zhao.
If they transferred forces to suppress the rebel army, by the time they turned back, the Demon Disaster would definitely be on a large scale.
At that time, it would not be as simple as millions of people dying.
If it was not handled well, the foundation that the human race had built over countless years would be completely destroyed.
The threat of the Demon Disaster.
It was not an existence that could be ignored.
Thus, as soon as Xi Yang spoke, he was immediately met with opposition from the crowd.
This matter concerned the human race, so they had to oppose it.
Seeing the vehement opposition of the officials, Xi Yang was not angered. He shook his head slightly and said, "My beloved officials, there is no need to be anxious. Although I am transferring forces to suppress the Demon Disaster, it does not mean that I will ignore the Demon Disaster.
These are two different matters, and they cannot be discussed together. "
As soon as he finished speaking.
Some people looked confused, while others looked thoughtful.
In front of the civil officials, an old man in embroidered robes opened his eyes and cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, are you planning to transfer the forces of the Inhumans?"
"Fu Guo Gong is right."
Xi Yang nodded.
Inhumans!?
These words caused some people to look at each other. They could see the realization in each other's eyes.
After receiving Xi Yang's affirmation, Fu Guo Gong continued, "The Inhumans are undying and their numbers are not much smaller than the human race of the Great Zhao Country. Moreover, the Inhumans are generally in the True Martial Realm. Although they do not have a top expert, they cannot be underestimated.
The biggest advantage of the Demon Disaster is its transformation and erosion.
In this regard, the Inhumans can restrain it very well. In addition, the True Martial Realm in the True Dominion is already considered the top, so dealing with the Demon Disaster should not be a big problem. "
In his opinion …
Although the Demon Disaster was comparable to an expert who had condensed the Universal Sky Lock, there was still a limit to how strong it was.
An expert who had condensed the Universal Sky Lock could deal with 10 or 100 ordinary True Martial Realm experts, but it was impossible for him to deal with 10 or 10 thousand ordinary True Martial Realm experts.
Not to mention …
There were no less than 100 million Inhuman True Martial Realm cultivators.
Such a number would be enough to fight against the Demon Disaster.
"However …"
Fu Guo Gong suddenly changed the topic and said, "The Inhumans value benefits. If Your Majesty wants to transfer the Inhumans of the world, I am afraid that the amount of resources expended will be far greater than what we are currently using."
"These resources will not be a problem as long as we can quell the chaos."
Xi Yang waved his hand, not caring about the expenditure at all.
The foundation of the Great Zhao Country, which had been accumulated for thousands of years, was not something that others could imagine.
Only after he had assumed this position did he know how much resources the imperial court had.
With these resources …
It would not be a problem even if the number of Inhumans of the world was doubled, let alone transfer the Inhumans of the world. This was why Xi Yang was so confident.
Upon seeing this …
Fu Guo Gong did not say anything else. After cupping his hands, he fell silent again.
As for the other civil officials, when they saw this scene, they did not say anything else.
In their opinion, transferring the Inhumans to quell the Demon Disaster was indeed not a problem under the premise that they did not have to worry about the expenditure of resources.
Meanwhile …
These people had some vague guesses about the imperial court's foundation.
