Luo Jing didn't stop Shen Hong from intervening.
Zhang Yi was very strong. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that he couldn't take him down alone.
Not to mention that he couldn't take him down.
With Zhang Yi holding the Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag, he might even be defeated.
So …
After Shen Hong made his move, Luo Jing laughed, "Zhang Yi, now that Wu 'an Marquis and I have joined forces, what do you have to fight against us? Just surrender!"
While speaking, the spear didn't slow down at all.
"General Luo, you and I will take sides. Don't give him a chance to escape."
"Okay."
Luo Jing nodded and immediately attacked Zhang Yi separately with Shen Hong.
It was different from Luo Jing.
Wu 'an Marquis Shen Hong used a halberd.
When the halberd appeared, a dormant power was awakening and a strong killing intent was stimulated.
Boom!!
The two of them flanked Zhang Yi from the left and right.
Zhang Yi's expression changed.
He waved the Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag in his hand and the flames that could burn the mountains and boil the sea swept across the sky and attacked the two of them.
At this moment …
The flames were monstrous.
The halberd tore the sky and the earth apart and the violent power erupted. Zhang Yi's expression changed again.
Among the two of them, Wu 'an Marquis was the most worthy of his fear.
As the head of a prefecture, Wu 'an Marquis was actually one generation higher than him in terms of seniority and was on the same level as the previous Marquis Nanfeng.
He was also the most senior marquis in the Great Zhao Thirteen Prefectures.
Similarly.
Wu 'an Marquis had the most seniority. Before Marquis Beiyun revealed his almighty strength, his strength was also the most unfathomable.
However, Marquis Beiyun had become an almighty now.
Among the thirteen prefectures, Marquis Beiyun was the most respected.
However, after Marquis Beiyun, Wu 'an Marquis Shen Hong was still a powerhouse that couldn't be underestimated.
Although Luo Jing's strength was extraordinary, in terms of true strength, he was slightly inferior to Shen Hong.
Zhang Yi's strength was also not bad.
However, it was easy to deal with Luo Jing, but if Shen Hong was added to the mix, it would be difficult.
No matter what.
Zhang Yi didn't plan to retreat.
In addition to the victory and defeat of the Heavenly Beings, the victory of the army below was also very important.
Since he couldn't win.
Zhang Yi had already planned to delay the two of them to buy enough time for the army.
Boom!
Crack!
The power of the battle between the three of them could be said to be earth-shattering. Every time they collided, it caused the sky to rumble, as if it was a bolt from the blue.
Wu 'an Marquis looked old.
However, his strength was still at its peak.
The battle halberd in his hand was also the Wu 'an Marquis' mansion protection dao treasure. Traces of sharpness seeped out, causing ripples in space.
"General Luo, don't hold back anymore. We need to end this battle quickly. Otherwise, if the army suffers too many casualties, it won't be good." The halberd extinguished the raging flames, Shen Hong's hair stood on end as he shouted loudly.
Hearing this.
Luo Jing also noticed that they were at a disadvantage.
It had to be said that the Zhang Clan had been doing well in the South Wind Prefecture all these years. They had secretly trained many elite soldiers.
Even if the imperial court had the help of the Wu 'an Prefecture's army, they still did not have much of an advantage.
He understood a little about Shen Hong's thoughts.
It was just that the Wu 'an Manor had lost too many soldiers, and this Wu' an Marquis felt heartache.
Thinking of this.
Luo Jing didn't intend to drag things out for too long, so he nodded and said, "Alright, Wu 'an Marquis, please help me suppress this fiend!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Luo Jing no longer hid anything. He gathered all his strength together and then displayed his trump card.
He shot out a spear.
Heaven and earth trembled.
It was as if it had swept through the entire world, causing people's hearts to tremble.
At the same time.
Shen Hong also made his move. The battle halberd tore the sky and earth apart, as if it could destroy everything. It directly erupted with a terrifying attack.
However —
Just as the attack was about to hit Zhang Yi, it suddenly changed directions and went straight for Luo Jing.
As for Zhang Yi.
It was as if they had already discussed this beforehand. The power that was originally attacking Shen Hong was just for show, while the real power was all directed toward Luo Jing.
In an instant.
The situation had undergone a drastic change.
"Shen Hong, how dare you betray the imperial court —" The sudden change made Luo Jing both shocked and angry.
He didn't expect that.
Shen Hong would betray the imperial court at this time. He also didn't expect that the Wu 'an Marquis would betray the imperial court.
If Luo Jing had been a little vigilant at the beginning.
But now, he didn't have any vigilance against Shen Hong.
Everything seemed to happen very slowly, but in fact, it happened in a flash.
The air trembled.
An arm holding a spear fell off. Blood wildly gushed out. Luo Jing's face paled as he retreated in defeat.
The sudden change caused Luo Jing to be injured and defeated.
"I didn't expect you to secretly ally with Zhang Yi. You're also a traitor!"
Luo Jing coldly stared at Shen Hong and Zhang Yi. His heart was filled with both shock and anger. However, after the shock passed, he still maintained his calm.
As for the wound on his shoulder, the blood had already stopped flowing. Flesh began to grow from the wound, and not long after, a new arm appeared.
Limb regrowth!
Nothing more!
However, the new arm had just been regenerated and hadn't been tempered too much. It couldn't compare to the original arm.
At the same time.
The long spear that had fallen along with his arm was now pulled back into his hand.
Hearing Luo Jing's question, Shen Hong didn't become angry. He smiled faintly and said, "The Great Zhao has suppressed the world for more than six thousand years. Its fate has long since been exhausted. This old man is just following the will of the heavens.
On the other hand, General Luo, now that this old man has joined forces with Marquis Nanfeng, you no longer have any chance of resisting.
Why don't you abandon the Imperial Court and join our alliance? Why do you want to die with the Imperial Court? "
"Damn it! I, Luo Jing, was blind to have trusted you!"
Luo Jing was so angry that he laughed. However, he was already thinking of a way out.
Although he didn't agree with Shen Hong's words, he knew one thing.
The Marquis of Wu 'an had betrayed them. The Imperial Court's original advantage was gone. If they continued to fight, they wouldn't have any hope of winning.
As for his own strength, even if Luo Jing was at his peak, he wouldn't have the confidence to resist.
Not to mention that he was now heavily injured.
As if he could see Luo Jing's plan, Shen Hong took a step forward and appeared behind him. Together with Zhang Yi, they blocked his path of retreat.
"General Luo, if we let you go, then we'll be incompetent today!"
At this point, Shen Hong's expression turned solemn. Suddenly, he roared, "Wu 'an Army, listen to my order. Kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The Wu 'an Army, which was fighting with the Nanfeng Army, suddenly turned their muzzles and attacked the Imperial Court's people.
Faced with such a sudden change.
The soldiers of the imperial court were also bewildered and confused.
Many of them didn't expect that their comrades would suddenly backstab them.
For a moment.
Many of the Imperial Court's soldiers died tragically under the Wu 'an Army.
In just a few minutes.
The Imperial Court's army was completely at a disadvantage.
With Shen Hong's betrayal, the situation that the Imperial Court had been maintaining collapsed.
Luo Jing didn't expect Shen Hong to betray them.
The others also didn't expect Shen Hong to betray them.
Even the Nanfeng Army, except for the high-ranking generals, didn't know that the Wu 'an Army, which they had been fighting to the death, was their ally.
By the time they realized it, the situation had changed.
As for the generals of the Nanfeng Army, they immediately commanded the battle to prevent the soldiers from attacking the Wu 'an Army and creating an awkward situation.
In the sky.
The battle had broken out again.
It was different from the previous time when Zhang Yi was attacked from both sides.
This time, the person who was attacked from both sides was Luo Jing, the General of Pacifying West.
Luo Jing's strength was slightly weaker than the two of them. Now that he was heavily injured and had to fight against both of them, he was at a disadvantage almost as soon as he attacked.
Raging flames burned the sky.
The halberd shattered the void.
Luo Jing was forced to retreat with his spear, and he kept coughing up blood.
It wasn't that he didn't think of escaping, but Shen Hong and Zhang Yi were determined to keep him here.
Therefore, every time Luo Jing wanted to retreat, he would be forcefully intercepted, not giving him any hope of leaving at all.
As time went by.
Luo Jing's injuries were getting worse and worse.
Shen Hong and Zhang Yi had already gained the upper hand in the battle.
"Boom!"
After taking a blow from Shen Hong's halberd, the flesh on Luo Jing's chest was torn open, causing his injuries to worsen.
At this moment.
Luo Jing didn't attack again. Instead, he threw the long spear in his hand behind him, and it instantly streaked across the sky and disappeared. Then, he pulled a huge amount of Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth over, and it surged into his body like a tide.
"Oh no!"
"He's going to self-destruct!"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi and Shen Hong were both shocked and furious.
They didn't expect that Luo Jing would be so ruthless as to self-destruct so decisively.
When a cultivator self-destructed, it was equivalent to destroying everything, including Spirit Gods.
Once a cultivator self-destructed …
He would die completely, and he wouldn't even have the chance to reincarnate in the future.
In the face of this, the first reaction of the two was not to escape, but to stop Luo Jing from self-destructing.
The self-destruction of a Diviner supreme cultivator.
In particular, the self-destruction of an expert at Luo Jing's level was powerful enough to move mountains and overturn seas, and destroy the world.
Even if they could escape, the army below would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Therefore …
Neither Shen Hong nor Zhang Yi thought of escaping. Instead, they unleashed their strongest attacks the moment Luo Jing was about to self-destruct.
"Let's die together!"
Luo Jing's eyes were filled with madness. He didn't resist the attacks of the two, allowing the attacks to hit his body.
Almost at the same time …
Boom!
The sky shook!
The earth cracked!
With Luo Jing as the center, a destructive force suddenly erupted and swept out in all directions.
Shen Hong and Zhang Yi were the first to bear the brunt of the attack.
Without thinking, the two of them waved their hands and set up layers of energy defenses around their bodies. Then, a powerful force blasted out in an attempt to completely block the aftermath of the explosion.
It only lasted for a moment.
The energy defenses set up by the two of them were like paper in front of this force. They were completely useless.
As for the attack that erupted, it was destroyed when it collided with the aftermath of the explosion.
Zhang Yi and Shen Hong coughed up blood and fell from the sky.
At the same time …
A vast wave of Spiritual Deity energy swept through the world, and all the living beings that were affected by it suffered a destructive blow.
As for the great cultivators of the God Martial Arts Realm, they screamed and fell from the sky, no longer able to stand in the air.
The aftermath of the explosion lasted for almost an hour before it finally stopped.
When Shen Hong and Zhang Yi came to their senses, they saw that seventy to eighty percent of the millions of soldiers below had been attacked by the Spiritual Deity, causing their divine consciousness to be completely destroyed.
Puff!
Seeing this, Zhang Yi spat out another mouthful of blood. Looking at the situation in front of him, his eyes were about to split open.
"Good, very good. This Marquis misjudged you. I didn't expect you, Luo Jing, to be so ruthless as to drag millions of soldiers down with you!"
After all …
The Nanfeng and Wuan Armies were not the only ones who had died. The Imperial Court's army had also died.
Luo Jing's self-destruction had caused them to suffer heavy losses, but it had also caused the Imperial Court's army to suffer heavy losses.
After all, self-destruction was an indiscriminate attack that did not distinguish between friend and foe.
Shen Hong's expression was also gloomy. He wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and coldly said, "Injuring the enemy by a thousand but losing eight hundred of our own men. This time, we have fallen at Luo Jing's hands."
"However, with Luo Jing's death, one of the Great Zhao Five Great Generals has also fallen. This time, we did not lose out."
Then …
He looked at the soldiers below who had yet to come to their senses, and the killing intent in his heart soared.
"Marquis Nanfeng, we will first destroy these remnants of the Great Zhao Army. Then, you can completely unify the Nanfeng Prefecture. After that, it will not be your turn to assist the Wuan Prefecture."
"Marquis Wuan, rest assured. This Marquis will keep his word."
"That would be for the best."
Shen Hong's expression was still gloomy.
He was not afraid that Zhang Yi would go back on his word. At this time, their greatest enemy was the Great Zhao Army, not the other Marquis.
If Zhang Yi went back on his word, he would be seeking his own death.
Very quickly …
Shen Hong and Zhang Yi organized the remaining soldiers and surrounded the remnants of the Imperial Court's army.
However, the two did not kill them all. Instead, they gave them a chance to surrender.
Luo Jing self-destructed.
The army had suffered heavy losses.
In the view of the remnants of the Imperial Court, there was no chance of victory in the current situation.
Not everyone was unafraid of death.
Not everyone was afraid of death.
Thus, when faced with the threat of two armies, some people did not fear death and refused to surrender, while others simply threw away their weapons.
As for the remaining method, it was much simpler.
Those who were unwilling to surrender were all killed. Those who were willing to surrender were left behind and incorporated into the original army.
"All soldiers, listen to my order. Take down Nanfeng Prefecture as quickly as possible!"
Marquis Nanfeng Zhang Yi's eyes were like torches as he loudly ordered.
The greatest power of the Imperial Court in Nanfeng Prefecture was Luo Jing and the army under him.
Now that Luo Jing was dead and the army had either died or surrendered, the defenses of Nanfeng Prefecture had fallen into a state of weakness.
This could be said to be the best time to take over Nanfeng Prefecture.
They would not give the Imperial Court any chance to react.
Therefore.
Zhang Yi did not need to worry about the existence of the surrendered soldiers in the army, nor did he need to worry about the possibility of a rebellion.
Betrayal!
That was only possible if they had enough confidence.
Without sufficient strength to support them, these people who had already surrendered would not be able to betray them.
After all —
Those who could surrender were almost all cowards who were afraid of death.
After receiving Zhang Yi's order.
The generals of the Nanfeng army immediately accepted the order.
On the same day.
The news of Marquis Wuan's rebellion and the death of General Luo Jing finally spread.
Instantly, the world was in an uproar.
"Shen Hong, that old bastard, you've gone too far!"
"If I don't kill him and his entire family, how can I face General Luo and those soldiers who have died?"
Xi Yang was furious and roared in the Imperial Court.
This news.
Compared to the time when the various Marquis took advantage of the situation to attack, he was even more furious.
Although the Imperial Court suffered heavy losses when the Marquis took advantage of the situation to attack last time, it was still within an acceptable range. Moreover, they only lost some cities and land, which was not a big deal.
However, this time was completely different.
Luo Jing had died!
The Five Great Generals had once fought alongside the Human Emperor and were now the leaders of many military officials.
Luo Jing's death was not a small loss to the Imperial Court's strength, but it was also a huge shock to the people's hearts.
Moreover, they had completely lost control of a Marquis.
This was not a small matter.
Not to mention, Marquis Wuan had also betrayed the Imperial Court. This was an even bigger blow to Xi Yang.
A person who could not possibly die had died.
A person who could not possibly betray him had betrayed him.
For a moment, Xi Yang felt that some things had broken free from his control and were spreading in an uncontrollable direction.
Faced with such things that were out of his control, he could not help but feel a trace of fear in his heart.
However, this trace of fear had just been born when it turned into fuel for his anger.
As for the other civil and military officials, their expressions were also grave at this moment. Not only was Xi Yang furious, but they were also completely caught off guard by this news.
Marquis Wuan had rebelled!
Luo Jing was dead!
These things were completely out of anyone's expectations.
Under Xi Yang's anger, no one dared to casually interrupt to avoid getting into trouble.
After a long time.
Xi Yang's anger subsided a little, but his eyes were cold to the extreme.
"Lord Chen, if I remember correctly, you should be quite close to Shen Hong!"
"Your Majesty, please understand. I am only acquainted with Shen Hong. I know nothing about his rebellion!" Lord Chen heard this and immediately knelt down in fear as he hurriedly explained.
"Whether it is true or not, I will know." Xi Yang turned a deaf ear to him and coldly shouted, "Guards!"
The moment he finished speaking, the guards in front of the hall immediately rushed in.
"Drag him out and behead him as an example to the public!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, two guards immediately lifted Lord Chen up and dragged him outside.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I am innocent!" That person struggled madly and screamed, but Xi Yang's expression did not change at all. He was just as indifferent as before.
At this moment.
The other officials also lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Xi Yang. No one dared to plead for mercy.
It didn't matter whether Lord Chen was innocent or not.
What was important was.
Xi Yang needed someone to vent his anger on.
If this fire didn't burn the other party, it could burn anyone present.
No one would do such a thing that would bring trouble to themselves.
As for Lord Chen, he was also struggling madly. To be able to enter the imperial court as an official, he had a cultivation base. Even if he was a civil official in the cultivation world, he was still a strong cultivator.
However, the guards in front of the hall were also extremely strong.
Otherwise, how could they be qualified to sit in front of the hall?
Not long after.
That person was completely dragged out.
Soon, someone heard a faint scream in their ears. The smell of blood had already drifted in from outside.
Then.
Then, a guard came in with a tray. On the tray was a human head that was glaring angrily.
"Your Majesty, the guilty official has been executed!"
"Take it away!"
Xi Yang waved his hand. He was not in the mood to look anymore.
Hearing this, the guard immediately took the tray and left.
At this moment, the smell of blood in the hall still did not dissipate.
Xi Yang looked around at everyone and said coldly, "The Marquis of Wu 'an has rebelled. The other Marquis may not be loyal to the imperial court. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, although the Marquis of Wu 'an has rebelled, the other Marquis are still loyal to the imperial court. If we take strong measures, it will inevitably make people disappointed."
An official stepped out and said with cupped hands.
"In my opinion, it is better to increase the management of the other Marquis. As for the other Marquis of Wu 'an, let's not make a move first."
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is right."
At this moment, the other officials also voiced their agreement.
Xi Yang sat on the throne in silence. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a while.
He said slowly, "Order the other Marquis of Wu 'an to pay attention to any unusual movements. If there are any clues, they must report immediately. Otherwise, they will be sentenced as rebels and their families will be implicated."
"In addition, suppress Nan Feng Marquis and Wu 'an Marquis. Shen Hong and Zhang Yi must die!"
When he mentioned these two names, a strong killing intent appeared on Xi Yang's face.
In addition to Wu 'an Marquis.
Now, in the huge Great Zhao, five Marquis of Wu 'an had openly rebelled. The power of the imperial court had been reduced by almost half.
But now, in addition to these places, the remaining Marquis of Wu 'an was also an unstable factor.
However, it was just as the other officials had said.
A guess was just a guess. If he wanted to make a move on the other Marquis based on a guess, he would be digging his own grave.
But when these unstable factors would erupt, Xi Yang himself was not sure.
Even.
The Marquis of Bei Yun was also a thorn in his heart.
If an almighty who had hidden his strength could be used by him, it would naturally be a great thing. But if he couldn't be used by him, then it would be a great disaster.
Xi Yang suddenly felt very tired.
After his father died, what he left behind was a mess.
Demon disaster!
Mutants!
Rebel Marquis!
There was also the Yao Clan eyeing him covetously.
All these things piled up together and exploded, making him mentally and physically exhausted.
But —
Now that he was sitting on the throne, there was no way out.
He could either sit tight.
Or he could die.
Xi Yang had never thought that he would give up the throne. For his current position, he had waited for too long.
"I heard that the Yao Clan is also making strange movements in Thousand Mountains Prefecture. There are also rumors that there are Yao Saints among the Yao Clan who are preparing to intervene. Just in case, I'll have to trouble Zhennan King to go to Thousand Mountains Prefecture and help Yan Caizhe stabilize the situation.
In addition, there will also be experts from the Imperial Astronomer. "
"I accept the order!"
Zhennan King Luo Feiyu, who had been silent all this time, cupped his hands and accepted the order.
As for the others.
When they heard Xi Yang mention the Imperial Astronomer, they were shocked.
The Imperial Astronomer!
It was an organization established when the Human Emperor was alive. In terms of mystery, the Imperial Astronomer was number one.
