In the underground palace in Wang Xiangguo's backyard, Lin Ray didn't know what Hong Zhi was thinking. At this moment, he was trying his best to break through to the late-stage Dao Fruit realm. As for the rest, it was up to fate.
In the face of a breakthrough, everything else seemed so insignificant.
The border Guan Ma Yi was an open space in the past. It was very spacious and flat, like a natural battlefield.
This was also the path to the other empires. It could be said that this was the common battlefield of the other empires.
Guan Ma Yi belonged to the Hongtian Empire. In Guan Ma Yi City, Li Zhiping was in the City Lord's residence. He looked up at the red clouds in the sky with a melancholic expression.
He had been in Guan Ma Yi City for dozens of days. However, during this time, he felt uneasy. If it was a normal battle, he wouldn't feel this way.
Looking at the blood-red clouds in the sky, he felt an inexplicable urge to look up to the sky and howl.
"Ta ta ta"
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from afar. A young man in red armor walked quickly to Li Zhiping and knelt down on one knee. He hurriedly said, "Reporting, Marshal, I just received news that the Tian Ling Empire, the Duan Rui Empire, and the Xie Xuan Empire have joined forces. They each sent out 500,000 soldiers and are not far from the Guanma Pass."
"According to estimates, in another day, the 1.5 million soldiers will arrive at Guan Ma Yi City!"
"What?"
Li Zhiping recovered from his shock. Hearing this, Li Zhiping was dumbfounded. He finally understood the reason for the uneasiness in his heart.
1.5 million soldiers. Not to mention him, even if anyone came, they wouldn't be able to resist such a terrifying force.
At this moment, the entire Guan Ma Yi City only had 300,000 soldiers. Previously, he thought that it was just one empire. If it was just one empire, 300,000 soldiers would be more than enough to deal with the enemy. However, now … the three empires had 1.5 million soldiers. Without more than a million soldiers, it was impossible to defeat the three empires.
"Marshal, what should we do now? The three empires have sent out their soldiers at the same time. This has never happened before."
Hearing the young soldier's words, Li Zhiping nodded. Indeed, although a joint battle was powerful, it wouldn't work if both sides didn't have absolute trust.
Of course, there was another possibility.
Benefits, only benefits could allow the three empires to temporarily bury the hatchet between them.
Needless to say, this benefit was to kill Li Zhiping. If Hongtian Empire were to lose Li Zhiping, then the entire Hongtian Empire would fall into the hands of the three empires.
There was only one day left. In one day, 1.5 million soldiers would arrive at the Guanma Pass. When that time came, 300,000 soldiers would be no match for the enemy.
If he were to act rashly, the final result would be that the 300,000 soldiers would not return. He would not allow that to happen.
"Quick, write a letter and send it to His Majesty as fast as possible. Also, send a letter to the surrounding cities. Tell them to mobilize all their troops to resist the power of the three nations."
With that said, Li Zhiping did not hesitate at all. He turned around and walked into the house. He picked up a pen and began to write.
Because of the importance of time, Li Zhiping's writing speed was very fast. Soon, he had finished writing all six letters. Then, he went to the courtyard and saw the young soldier still kneeling on the ground. Li Zhiping's impression of him deepened.
"You, send six people dressed as commoners to deliver the six letters to the addresses written on the letters."
"Yes, Marshal!"
Hearing this, the young soldier nodded. He stood up and took the letters. Then, he ran away quickly. In the blink of an eye, the soldier disappeared.
Looking at the disappearing figure of the soldier, Li Zhiping did not dare to relax. 1.5 million soldiers was something that had never happened before.
"Men, prepare a horse. I will go to the Guanma Pass to check out the situation." With that, he turned around and walked out.
"Whoosh"
Just as Li Zhiping was about to leave the mansion, a crack appeared in the sky above Li Zhiping's courtyard. Ouyang Zhen's figure appeared from the crack.
Looking down at the mansion, he sneered, "Heh, 300,000 against 1.5 million. If you were the young master, you might have a chance. Unfortunately, you are just a mortal."
"Furthermore …"
When he thought of Hong Zhi, he didn't even need to think about it. When Hong Zhi saw Li Zhiping's letter for help, he would destroy it without hesitation. He couldn't wait for Li Zhiping to die. At that time, the entire Hongtian Empire would belong to him, Hong Zhi, and he wouldn't be able to stand side by side with him anymore.
Thinking about Li Zhiping's laughable request for help, he couldn't help but sigh. If such a person was born in the Holy World, he might be able to achieve great things!
"Sigh!"
With a sigh, Zhang Xuan shook his head. "It seems like I'll have to make a move to intimidate those ants. Otherwise, if Li Zhiping dies, I won't be able to withstand Young Master's wrath!" With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan leaped into the dimension rift once more.
On the way to the Guanma Pass, Li Zhiping didn't know that while he was worrying about the 1.5 million soldiers, Ouyang Zhen's figure appeared above them.
A hundred li away from the Guanma Pass, a group of soldiers walked over. Their speed wasn't very fast, but their aura was like a rainbow, giving people the impression that they were going to pierce through a rainbow.
In the air, Ouyang Zhen, who was standing high up in the air, looked down at this team. His heart trembled. If he thought that Li Zhiping had a 30% chance of winning before, then after seeing this team, that 30% chance disappeared in an instant.
"They obviously came prepared. Do you think you can deal with them with your 300,000 soldiers?"
"Tch!"
With a grumble, Ouyang Zhen released his divine sense and covered the entire group.
"Hm?"
Everyone appeared in his divine sense, but what surprised him was that there weren't any special carriages in the group. There were only ordinary soldiers, and even their armor was the same.
Looking at the group, Ouyang Zhen was dumbfounded, "Damn, how am I supposed to find them?"
He had thought that those generals would be riding on carriages or tall horses at the very front. But now …
"These ants are so shrewd. It seems like I can only use force!"
It had to be said that Ouyang Zhen really admired the general of this group. Being able to blend in with the soldiers like this, even if there was an enemy attack, he wouldn't have to worry about his own safety.
Thinking about it, Ou Yangzhen laughed bitterly. Then, he descended and appeared not far away.
At this moment, Ouyang Zhen had the imposing manner of one man holding the pass, ten thousand unable to break through.
The army slowly walked over, and Ouyang Zhen, who was in the middle of the road, looked up. When he saw the group of soldiers at the front, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hands to greet them.
"Good afternoon, everyone."
"Have you eaten? Do you want some water?"
Everyone: "…"
Looking at the person who had suddenly appeared, the group was taken aback. Following which, they stopped in their tracks and their faces darkened.
If anyone tried to stop them during their march, there was no need for them to report it. They would kill them without mercy. Yet, such a person had appeared out of nowhere and was even asking questions.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Seeing that the crowd had stopped, Ouyang Zhen was taken aback. He strode towards the crowd and asked as he walked, "I say, everyone, why haven't I seen your commanding officer … Where's the marshal?"
"Clang!"
As soon as Ouyang Zhen's words came out, the group was taken aback. Killing intent flashed across their eyes as they drew their swords from their waists and aimed at Ouyang Zhen.
The leader looked at Ouyang Zhen and said coldly, "Who are you? Nine people are in the middle of the road, and …"
As he spoke, the man narrowed his eyes and killing intent surged, "You said that we're the marshal. Who are you?"
"Who sent you here?!"
When the army stopped moving forward, the million soldiers at the back naturally stopped as well. When the marshals and generals saw that the army had stopped moving forward, anger surged in their hearts.
"You, come here."
Among the million soldiers, a middle-aged man pointed to a soldier at the side, "Go and see what's going on. Why did they stop moving at this time?"
"Don't they know how much food is needed for a million soldiers to march for a day?"
Indeed, before the soldiers and horses moved, the food had to be prepared first. If the army stopped for a day, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if he was the marshal, he would have to pay the price for this responsibility. This was something that he could not afford.
Hearing the marshal's order, the young soldier left the group and walked forward.
The other two groups also understood the situation. The three people were none other than the marshals of the three empires: Tian Ling Yuanshan, Duan Rui, Ma Ming, Xie Xuan, and Liu Qingshan.
Looking at the leading soldier, Ouyang Zhen smiled and walked forward step by step. Finally, he was one meter away from the group. Looking at them, Ouyang Zhen stretched out his hand and grabbed the young soldier who had just spoken.
Suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared, and a bloodthirsty expression appeared, "Speak, where are your marshals?"
"Let them come out, and we can discuss and solve this matter. Otherwise …"
"Otherwise what?" The soldier whose throat was being grabbed by Ouyang Zhen subconsciously spoke.
"Heh."
Looking at the young soldier, Ouyang Zhen coldly laughed. He tightened his grip slightly, and pain came from the soldier's throat. A demonic voice sounded in his ears, "Otherwise, everyone here will die."
"Hiss …"
Ouyang Zhen did not hide his words from the crowd. After hearing these words, everyone subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air. Of course, some people did not believe it at all and sneered.
"Brat, who do you think you are? You want to kill everyone? There are 1.5 million people here, and you say you have all the killing intent. Do you think it'll take a day? Two days? Ten days? Or twenty days? "
"That's right, brat, hurry up and kowtow and admit your mistake. Perhaps we'll be happy and leave your corpse intact."
"That's right, brat, hurry up. Don't dilly-dally like a girl. Don't make me look down on you!"
For a moment, apart from a few people who were more cautious, the rest of the people began to mock and threaten Ouyang Zhen without thinking.
However, the young soldier who was being choked by Ouyang Zhen did not think that Ouyang Zhen was joking at all. The moment Ouyang Zhen said the words "all murderous aura", he … felt a murderous aura that made his entire body spasm in fear.
He was afraid, afraid that Ouyang Zhen was telling the truth. If that was the case, the entire group would not be able to survive.
On the other hand, Ouyang Zhen did not react to the crowd's mockery. Instead, he looked at them with a smile.
If those who knew Ouyang Zhen saw this smile, they would understand that this was the prelude to killing!
Quietly, I'm coming. Just like how you quietly die, I'll wave my sleeves and leave no one alive.
Looking at the crowd who were mocking him, a long sword appeared in the sky. Perhaps because it was far away, the crowd could not see it at all.
Looking at the crowd who were still mocking him, Ouyang Zhen ignored them and used one hand to activate the sword technique.
"Die!"
"Illusory Sword Technique, descend upon the world."
The long sword in the sky instantly transformed. Ten long swords, a hundred, a thousand, until finally ten thousand swords appeared. The densely packed long swords shrouded the sky.
"Hmm?"
Is it going to rain?
The sky suddenly darkened, causing everyone to be stunned. They subconsciously thought that it was going to rain.
Little did they know that it was indeed going to rain. However, it was not going to rain, but … a rain of swords.
"Fall!"
With a wave of his hand, his sword finger slid down from top to bottom. Following that, the ten thousand swords in the sky broke free from their restraints and fell from the sky.
"Puchi!"
Ahhh!
All of a sudden, ten thousand swords fell from the sky like rain. Each sword carried a life.
"Ahhhh!"
As the sword rain fell, ten thousand lives were lost in an instant.
"Heh, this is just the beginning. Don't be anxious. Soon, soon, all of you will join them." As he spoke, the sword technique was activated again. Ten thousand long swords awakened and appeared again. Following that, another ten thousand people died.
The cycle repeated over and over again as if there was no end. The young soldier who was being choked by Ouyang Zhen looked at his comrades falling one by one in front of him. His heart was filled with grief.
"Se … Senior, this junior knows … where the Marshal is. Please be magnanimous and don't kill anymore."
Ouyang Zhen, who was in the midst of killing, heard this. Suddenly, the long swords that were already awakened stopped in mid-air. He looked down and was speechless. "Look at you. Why didn't you say that earlier? Why did you have to wait until I killed so many people before you were willing to speak?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand to disperse the ten thousand long swords in the sky. He continued, "Lead the way."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The young soldier did not dare to slack off. After witnessing such a terrifying strength, how could he dare to be complacent?
He stood up and pointed in the direction of the army. "Senior, the Marshal and the others are in the army."
Looking at the direction the young soldier was pointing, Ouyang Zhen sneered. "Just as I thought."
As he spoke, he nodded and led the young soldier towards the army. Because he had just killed, Ouyang Zhen had to step on the corpses to advance.
This scene fell into the eyes of those soldiers who did not die. They were all trembling in fear. Some of the more timid ones even sat on the ground and lost control of their bowels.
