If the Fang Zhengzhi in the past was shameless to the extreme, then the Fang Zhengzhi now gave them a sense of coldness. Boundless coldness.
This kind of coldness had already somewhat exceeded the limits of what people could endure. That was because only monstrous killing intent could make people feel this kind of coldness.
"Kacha!"
The twisted purple light shuttled through the purple tree formed by the heavenly lightning. Finally, it struck down towards the purple light that Shi Kou had transformed into.
This was the Returning Dragon. It was also a form of arrogance.
However...
Compared to the Returning Dragon from before, this time, there was a thick coldness in the arrogance. It was a coldness formed by a monstrous killing intent.
"Boom!"
The two rays of purple light intertwined for a moment before separating.
The blood that filled the sky blossomed in the air, turning into a huge flower. However, it was instantly scattered by the falling rain, falling to the ground and converging with the stream on the ground, turning into a bright red.
And in that smear of red, there was a figure lying on the ground. It was a figure whose eyes were wide open and whose face was pale. His black hair was slowly turning white and silver.
His skin was filled with wrinkles. It was a sign that he was old. He had tried to hide his age, but now, it was revealed.
"You... are not Fang Zhengzhi!" Blood trickled down the corner of Shi Kou's mouth. He was extremely indignant, but he could no longer fight Fang Zhengzhi.
That was because his arms had already been crushed into pieces …
He was once a high and mighty demon, a demon in the Rebirth State, a demon who saw the lives of the human talents as worthless. He looked at the person in front of him, a person who was equally as powerful.
Worthless!
Shi Kou slowly closed his eyes, because he no longer had the strength to support himself. Of course, if he did not release the power of his demonic eye, even if his arms were shattered, with his cultivation level, he would be able to slowly recover after a few months of rest.
However, he had already released his demonic eye. This meant that if he did not kill Fang Zhengzhi in 15 minutes, he would be dead.
He did not struggle. He silently waited for death to come. However, his heart was filled with determination. That was...
The person in front of him was definitely not Fang Zhengzhi.
This was because the arrogance that came from deep within his bones, the feeling of standing at the pinnacle, was definitely not something that a Heavenly Reflection State human could possess.
…
Torrential rain poured down and thunder rumbled. In the sky, the towering tree formed by the purple lightning was rapidly dissipating. In the end, it completely disappeared without a trace.
And at the place where the towering tree disappeared, a young man stood in the rain, holding a sword that flickered with a demonic purple light, looking around.
Ripples of murderous aura emanated from the young man's body. In the torrential rain, his aura flickered like a strange ripple.
"Fang Zhengzhi!"
"He … he actually defeated a Rebirth State Demon!"
Shock and fear. All of the candidates stared at the figure in the rain, at the gleaming sword in their eyes. Their bodies stiffened.
Bai Xing, Wu Ji, and the dozens of demon elites were also rooted to the ground. They could not believe what they were seeing.
"How is this possible?!"
"Is he still human? How could there be such a person?! "
"…"
Yun Qingwu stood quietly in the rain. Her beautiful eyes looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was holding his sword in the rain. Her expression was extremely complicated.
There seemed to be gratification, joy, shock, fear, and even undisguised killing intent within it.
"Is it really him?" Yun Qingwu's lips parted as she spoke in a voice that only she could hear.
No one answered Yun Qingwu's question. Of course, Yun Qingwu had never thought that she would need someone to answer her own question.
In the rain …
Fang Zhengzhi raised his head and looked at Yun Qingwu on the cliff. Then, he moved again. A purple light surrounded his sword, almost like a purple dragon circling the blade of his sword.
"Die!" A cold voice filled with murderous intent rang out once more. Circles of aura that seemed to have materialized continuously spread around him.
"Don't even think about it!" Wu Ji's sword moved as well. He did not know what Fang Zhengzhi was going to do, but he knew that he had to stop him.
Along with Wu Ji were a few dozen Supernatural State demon elites standing not too far away.
As such …
The Dragon Protection Squad could not sit still.
Even though they had no idea how Fang Zhengzhi had defeated Shi Kou, they knew that it was a good thing.
As such, they did not need to think too much about it. At least, not now.
"Formation!"
As the Dragon Protection Squad, they were well-coordinated. Now that they did not need to worry about Fang Zhengzhi's safety, they could focus on killing their enemies.
Xing Qingsui's gaze froze as well.
Because, just as Fang Zhengzhi and the Dragon Protection Squad began fighting again, the Southern Region soldiers began to move again.
"Kaboom!"
Amidst the torrential rain, the soldiers stepped on the ground in an orderly manner, splashing water droplets and emitting a thunderous sound. They rapidly pounced on the Great Xia soldiers who were in the middle of the formation.
This was a battle that was about to erupt. This was a battle where there was a huge disparity in military power. The Southern Region soldiers were up against the Great Xia Dynasty's 50,000 soldiers.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill kill kill!"
The soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty shouted in unison, continuously raising the morale of the soldiers. In the heavy rain, they seemed extremely solemn.
"Great Xia general, listen up!" At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in heavy rattan armor walked out from the Southern Region soldiers. He had a huge black hide draped over his back.
Xing Qingsui raised his hand. The battle cries finally stopped.
The Southern Region general lowered his blade when he saw this. His gaze pierced through the storm as he looked at the Great Xia soldiers in front of him. "The Stable Mountain Gate has been taken by us.
"Stable Mountain Pass has already been taken by our army. In this battle, we captured a total of fifty thousand Grand Xia soldiers. You've already lost the chance to get reinforcements from the Grand Xia. As for your Crown Prince, he is currently trapped in a valley by a hundred thousand soldiers of the Southern Domain. You've already lost this battle. Why don't you put down your weapons and surrender immediately? The King of the Southern Domain will be merciful and spare your lives.
The Southern Region general pointed his broadsword at Xing Qingsui, his eyes exuding a ferocious aura.
At the same time, a cavalryman charged out from behind the Southern Region general. He held a tattered flag in his hand. There were three words stained with blood on it.
Stable Mountain Gate!
This was the flag of the Stable Mountain Gate. If the flag was there, the gate would be there. If not, the gate would be gone!
"The Stable Mountain Gate has been breached?!"
"How is that possible? How could the Stable Mountain Gate be breached? What … what do we do? If the Stable Mountain Gate is breached, we won't be able to return! "
"Even the Crown Prince has been surrounded. If that's the case, aren't we all alone?"
When the Great Xia soldiers heard the Southern Region general's words, their expressions changed from solemn to flustered.
This was a huge change in their aura.
The reason why the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty were willing to fight to the death was because they knew that the power of the Great Xia Dynasty far exceeded that of the Southern Region.
Then, with such powerful reinforcements, how could it be possible for them to lose?
Even though the enemy in front of them was twice their number, it was still impossible for them to feel discouraged. After all, everyone clearly knew that behind them, there were still more than 40,000 soldiers led by the Crown Prince, 50,000 defending soldiers in the Stable Mountain Pass, and millions of lions of the Great Xia Dynasty.
But now …
The Stable Mountain Gate had been breached. How could the Great Xia's reinforcements enter the Southern Region? The Crown Prince was trapped in the valley. How could he save them?
A lone army!
A lone army deep in the enemy's territory.
Under such circumstances, there was only one outcome for those who swore to resist, and that was death. Death in the Burial Ground, death in a foreign land.
All 50,000 soldiers looked at Xing Qingsui and the commanders with despair in their eyes.
When the commanders heard the Southern Region general's words and saw the words "Stable Mountain Gate" on the flag, all of them paled.
Xing Qingsui's expression changed as well.
The Stable Mountain Gate had been breached. This was not part of his plan. In fact, even he did not know that the Stable Mountain Gate had fallen into the hands of the Southern Region.
"Is there no other way out?" Xing Qingsui's lips twitched as he gripped his black sword tightly. However, unlike the soldiers, Xing Qingsui did not have the same thoughts as Xing Qingsui.
From the beginning to the end, he had never once thought of retreating or surrendering!
The disciples of the Stabilisation Constabulary never needed a way out. They only needed to know one thing. If there was no way out, they would forge a path with their own blood!
"Soldiers of the Great Xia, Fang Zhengzhi was able to defeat a Rebirth State Demon as a Heavenly Reflection State cultivator. This means that we humans have unparalleled potential. You have two choices in front of you!"
"The first choice is to put down the weapons in your hands, kneel on the ground in humiliation, beg for mercy from the soldiers of the Southern Region, and become their prisoners!"
"The second choice is to hold onto your spears and charge with me. We will take down the Icy Monkey Settlement and charge into the Sagely Mountain City. We will capture the king!"
"All of you, give me an answer!"
As Xing Qingsui spoke, he raised the black sword in his hand and pointed it at the Southern Region general. His eyes shone with the intent to fight.
"Kill!"
"Capture the king!"
"Capture the king!"
"If Fang Zhengzhi can defeat a Rebirth State Demon, we can definitely fight our way into the Sagely Mountain City!"
Very quickly, under the lead of the military commanders, voices began to ring out one by one. At the beginning, it was scattered and scattered, but at the end, it became orderly and uniform.
"Capture the king!"
"Capture the king!"
"Take down the Sagely Mountain City!"
"..."
The Southern Region general smirked when he heard the voices. "A bunch of stubborn fools. I will show you the power of the Southern Region warriors! Kill! "
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill kill kill!"
Battle cries rang out from the mouths of the Southern Region soldiers. As brave warriors of the Southern Region, how could they fear for their own land?
…
On the cliff, Yun Qingwu's eyes glimmered as she watched the two armies about to fight. However, her eyes were glued to the group of people who were already engaged in battle.
Because those people were the key figures who would decide the true direction of this war.
One sword!
A demonic purple light flashed.
It was like a venomous snake, its murderous aura filling the air. If not for the fact that Wu Ji was fighting Fang Zhengzhi head-on, many of the demon elites would have been killed by Fang Zhengzhi's sword.
Other than Fang Zhengzhi, Nangong Hao and Bai Xing had also begun their battle. Silver light flashed. Even though he was only in the pinnacle Supernatural State, he was not at a disadvantage.
The Dragon Protection Squad was entangled with the demon elites. From the looks of it, they seemed to have the upper hand. However, their expressions did not relax in the slightest.
Because …
They knew very well that they only had a partial advantage in numbers, while the Demon Race and the Southern Region had the true advantage in numbers.
There were more than 100,000 Southern Region soldiers.
Every single one of them was a soldier born and bred in this cruel land. Every single one of them had exceptional combat strength. In terms of individual combat strength, it could even be said that every single one of them was above the soldiers of Great Xia.
Of course, the Great Xia soldiers had the advantage of formations.
However, it was still impossible for fifty thousand soldiers to fight against a hundred thousand soldiers from the Southern Region.
"Kill!"
"Kill kill kill!"
"Kill kill kill!"
Deafening battle cries resounded through the sky. Torrential rain poured down, landing on the faces of the Great Xia soldiers and the Southern Region soldiers, washing away the dust on their bodies.
"Charge!" The Southern Region general finally raised his broadsword high in the air. At the same time, the monstrous warhorse beneath him began to gallop with all its might.
He took the lead and charged towards Xing Qingsui.
The Southern Region...
As the commander-in-chief of the army in the Land of Warriors, it was definitely an unexpected but completely reasonable thing for him to take the lead.
"Charge, kill!"
"Kill!"
As the Southern Region general led the charge, the Southern Region soldiers began to move. All of them were like hungry wolves eyeing a flock of sheep.
