The new commander of the Death Legion was Jin Nian.
As soon as he arrived, he gave the Death Legion a show of strength, injuring many of the commanders.
Jin Nian did not kill them. He wanted to lead the Death Legion, not to destroy it. He had heard from other generals that the Death Legion had risen and was a force to be reckoned with. Especially after seeing Xue Ji, Du Guang Fo, and the others take action, he wanted to grasp this force in his hands. This was a bargaining chip for him to accumulate military merits.
However, although his wish was good, it was not so easy to realize. There were people who would definitely not agree.
A person came with a broken staff. He was Shou Hou.
The current Shou Hou appeared more mature than before. His figure was still on the skinny side, as if no matter how much he cultivated, he would not grow bigger. However, only those who had seen him transform would know just how strong his other side was.
During the battle between the Barbarian Suppression Army and the Barbarian Army, Shou Hou had displayed extraordinary battle prowess. If someone compared him to Fen Yaoyang, Fen Yaoyang might not necessarily be his opponent.
Shou Hou had obtained the Scarlet Fire Spirit Elixir after returning to the Wolf Smoke Mountain Prison with Yang Wu. His strength had skyrocketed, and he had touched the boundary of the King Realm. After a period of meditation and seclusion, he had broken through that barrier and become a true King Realm cultivator.
At this moment, he was a King Realm cultivator.
This news had not spread in the army yet. He had been cultivating in seclusion all this time, so no one knew about his progress. Even his master, Zuo Yidao, did not know.
"Who are you to talk so big?" Jin Nian glanced at Shou Hou and asked.
"Why do you care who I am? Let go of the beautiful advisor, slap yourself in the mouth, and get out of here," Shou Hou said indifferently.
"Another dog has come. Let me knock its head a few times and it'll be obedient." The bamboo man strode forward with his long legs and swung his bamboo staff at Shou Hou. A thirty-meter-long beam of green light shot out like a green snake, arriving before Shou Hou in an instant.
The skinny monkey didn't even look at it. He raised his hand and grabbed the green light. With a light squeeze of his hand, the green light shattered inch by inch. There was even a rebounding force. The bamboo man's hand bled and the green bamboo stick fell from his hand.
The skinny monkey-like figure waved his hand and the bamboo stick appeared in his hand. He sneered, "The Dog Beating Stick sounds really cheap. Let's see how you're going to play without the stick."
Pa!
The general weapon snapped in the skinny monkey's hand.
The bamboo man's eyes were filled with anger. Without thinking, he rushed towards the skinny monkey and shouted, "You destroyed my weapon. I'll kill you."
The bamboo man unleashed all of his strength. His entire body was covered in layers of cyan profound armor. Both of his palms furiously slapped forward. The power of several tens of meters was like a rippling bamboo pole as it swiftly whipped towards the skinny monkey.
Hong Ji also attacked together with the bamboo man. The fast sword in his hand rushed out like a tide, and the blue sword light had already landed on the skinny monkey's chest in the blink of an eye.
The power of two top-notch General Realm cultivators was not as simple as one plus one.
The members of the Death Legion all stared at the skinny monkey, hoping that he could give them a pleasant surprise.
They were all hot-blooded people. When they saw their commanders being beaten up, they really wanted to help. However, there was a king here, and they didn't know what was going on, so they didn't know what to do.
The skinny monkey was Yang Wu's brother. This was a well-known fact. If the skinny monkey could take down the other party, it would be for the best.
The skinny monkey didn't disappoint them. They didn't see him move at all, but the power of the attack was dissipated by him. Moreover, two fists appeared, and the bamboo man and Hong Ji were sent flying while coughing up blood.
This scene was very similar to how Jin Nian had dealt with the commanders of the Death Legion.
The generals beside Jin Nian wanted to attack again, but Jin Nian said, "Stand down. This person is a king."
"You only realized it now. Your brain really isn't working well," the skinny monkey said disdainfully to Jin Nian.
"Who are you? I'm the commander of the Death Legion personally appointed by the marshal. You dare to interfere with my affairs? You're overstepping your authority." Jin Nian didn't know who the skinny monkey was, so he planned to use peaceful means before resorting to force.
"What kind of commander are you? This is my big brother's army. I don't care who sent you here. Hurry up and go back to where you came from," the skinny monkey said domineeringly.
As his strength increased, his fiery temper also grew. Apart from Yang Wu, who could restrain him a little, no one else could.
"Your big brother is Yang Wu?" Jin Nian asked in return.
"That's right. You bullied his people, which is the same as bullying me. It's not too late to apologize now. Otherwise, you won't have the chance," the skinny monkey replied.
"I've long heard of the traitor Yang Wu's deeds. I didn't think that you would dare to call him brother. Then I'll deal with you as a traitor too," Jin Nian said coldly.
"What do you mean? You dare to call my big brother a traitor?" The skinny monkey's eyes were burning with anger.
"It seems like you guys are still not clear. Yang Wu is now in the Barbarian Tribe and has already colluded with them. Even if he comes back, he will no longer be your commander. So if you know what's good for you, listen to my orders obediently. Otherwise, you will be punished for being a traitor," Jin Nian said loudly.
At this moment, the surrounding soldiers of the Death Legion went into an uproar.
"Did I hear wrongly? How could Commander Yang Wu be a traitor?"
"This is definitely slander. Commander Yang Wu has made great contributions to Great Xia. He even killed the Barbarian King. This is something that everyone has witnessed. How could he be a traitor?"
"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a reason to do so. It seems like Commander Yang Wu's contributions are too great and he has incurred the hatred of others."
"No, we must seek justice for Commander Yang Wu. We must not let others put the blame on him."
…
"A bunch of ignorant scoundrels!" Jin Nian scolded in disdain.
"You're the ignorant scoundrel!" The skinny monkey was already itching with anger. He finally couldn't help but attack Jin Nian.
He raised his broken staff and swung it at Jin Nian's head. The surging golden fire contained a powerful force that caused the surrounding airwaves to surge. The soldiers were frightened and quickly retreated.
Jin Nian felt threatened. He quickly drew his blade and slashed at the skinny monkey's staff.
Jin Nian's strength was not bad. He was already at the late stage of the Primary King Realm and was not far from the Intermediate King Realm. His foundation was quite solid, which was why he was entrusted with such an important task.
His blade slashed out with a might that could sever all life.
The staff and blade collided, and a lot of profound energy immediately splattered in all directions. The surroundings were in a sorry state.
Both of them released their King Realm auras and attacked repeatedly, trying to seize the initiative and take down the other.
The skinny monkey's staff attack was grand and contained raging flames. It was incomparably domineering.
Jin Nian was quite experienced in his attacks. He was a true grandmaster of the saber. Slash after slash, he completely sealed off the skinny monkey's attack, not giving him any chance to retaliate. He even wanted to take advantage of the situation.
It was an eye-opener for the onlookers, and they screamed.
"If this is all you've got, then die!" The skinny monkey became more and more courageous. His movements became faster and faster, and his attacks became faster and faster. He was not as simple as an ordinary Primary King Realm cultivator.
Jin Nian's defense became more and more difficult. It was as if his weakness was completely exposed in the skinny monkey's eyes, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.
"Damn it, I'm new here. How could I possibly lose?" Jin Nian roared in his mind and unleashed his true battle prowess.
A Thought Severing the Mundane!
Jin Nian's eyes flashed with a ruthless light. It was as if he had entered a certain state and wanted to sever the mundane world. The blade light contained a kind of blade intent. Wherever the blade light passed, rocks would crumble and the ground would split open.
The skinny monkey's pupils shrank. He retreated rapidly and struck out with his broken staff to stop the blade light.
Rumble, rumble!
The blade intent contained in the blade was not simple.
Even if Jin Nian had only comprehended a little bit, it was enough to show how amazing he was.
The skinny monkey blocked it with great difficulty. His clothes were torn, and blood seeped out. Clearly, he had paid a price to block the blade.
A Second Thought Severing the Mundane!
Jin Nian held the battle blade again and slashed out mercilessly. He wanted to sever the mundane world's mundane emotions. He no longer had any lingering feelings. Everything was just a blade in his hand. This blade could destroy thousands of enemies.
This blade had already used more than half of his strength. If he still couldn't kill the skinny monkey, he would be exhausted.
He had obtained these two incomplete saber technique manuals by accident. After many years of cultivation, he had only reached the Minute Subtlety Stage. Even so, he was able to comprehend saber essence. It was enough to show how extraordinary these two incomplete saber technique manuals were.
The chaotic blade light swept across the ground, leaving long blade marks. Sand and stones flew everywhere, forcing the surrounding people to retreat again and again.
At this moment, many Kings from the army had already rushed over. When they saw Jin Nian's shocking blade, they were all shocked. It was as if they didn't expect Jin Nian to have such strength.
"You're not the only one who comprehended the blade intent. I also comprehended the staff intent. Eat my staff!" The skinny monkey's eyes flickered with flames. After roaring, his broken staff surged into the sky. A wave of staff intent was contained within it as it lashed out at Jin Nian's blade.
Battle the Sky and Battle the Earth Staff!
This shocking staff strike was no weaker than Jin Nian's blade. It caused the surrounding ground to sink, and deep craters appeared.
When the power of the blade and staff collided, dazzling sparks exploded. It was so dazzling that no one could see the battle clearly.
When everything disappeared, Jin Nian had already lost his grip on the battle blade. He retreated with injuries. His face was incomparably pale, and his body was on the verge of collapse.
On the other hand, the skinny monkey's battle aura was soaring. He still had a lot of energy left, and wasn't affected much.
"Eat my staff again!" The skinny monkey shouted again. He wanted to hit Jin Nian's head with his staff. He wanted to kill him.
"Disciple, stop!" Sun Dou's master, Zuo Yidao, rushed over and stopped Sun Dou. He was afraid that Sun Dou would really kill Jin Nian. That would be troublesome.
The skinny monkey listened to Zuo Yidao. He stopped and stomped his feet on the ground, creating two deep craters. He roared to the sky, "My big brother is not a traitor!"
