Chapter 471: One Slash, Defeating an Army of Thousands
"Young Master!"
Seeing Ye Wushuang spit up blood, Lan Xinyu’s face filled with worry.
"I’m fine!"
Ye Wushuang waved dismissively. His Divine Sense probed the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron; Zorro had been completely devoured. However, the beastman’s final struggles had dealt a considerable blow to Ye Wushuang’s Dantian.
’Looks like I can’t be so reckless in the future,’ Ye Wushuang thought, taking it as a warning. ’This method allows for rapid advancement, but it’s far too risky. It could easily destabilize my foundation and have a massive impact on my future Cultivation.’
With this in mind, Ye Wushuang suppressed all the energy he had just devoured instead of using it to break through immediately. After all, he had only recently advanced.
"Come with me!"
He then shouted down to Guo Yurong. ’With the second young miss of King Xiangg City with us,’ he thought, ’we should be able to get into the city today.’
Hearing Ye Wushuang’s shout, Guo Yurong hesitated for a moment before choosing to trust him, leading the group of women and children toward the massive Beastman Army.
The scene was utterly bizarre!
"G-General! General Zorro is dead!" Several Beastman soldiers scrambled and crawled their way to the Horned General at the front, shouting in terror.
"Nonsense! Don’t tell me that group of women and children ate Zorro alive!"
Hearing the Beastman soldiers’ report, the general was furious. A dignified general, an expert in the Yin Yang Realm, dying at the hands of a group of women and children? Was there a more ridiculous joke in the world?
How could the Horned General possibly believe it!
"General, that group of women and children is heading right for us."
Suddenly, another soldier hurried over and reported loudly, causing all the Beastman soldiers to exchange bewildered glances. Could this group of women and children really turn the world upside down?
"What in the world is going on?" The Horned General’s face was grim. It was just a group of women and children, so why was everyone acting as if they were facing a mighty army!
"Reporting, General! General Zorro and the other soldiers were swallowed alive! That group of human women and children is heading for us, and we can’t stop them!"
The soldier’s response stunned the Horned General. ’Swallowed alive, for real?’
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked up at the sky.
There in the sky, a massive roc was flying toward them.
Below, the group of women and children followed closely. Not a single Beastman soldier dared to charge them, for any who tried would be instantly obliterated by a terrifying Sword Aura.
"Insolence!"
The Horned General roared in fury. An army of ten thousand, frightened by a group of powerless women and children—it was an utter humiliation.
"Get out of the way!"
A cold shout suddenly boomed from the sky. A powerful pressure descended, carrying the might of an Emperor, making the hearts of the Beastman soldiers below tremble.
"You’re courting death!" The Horned General’s eyes filled with a bloodthirsty light. He knew the only reason the women and children were so fearless was the figure in the sky.
"Kill them all!"
The Horned General bellowed, and along with another Beastman general at his side, he leaped into the air, charging at Ye Wushuang.
The rest of the Beastman Army charged toward Guo Yurong and the others.
Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed as he drew his Dragon Blood Battle Saber.
With a single motion, he brought the World-Destroying Slash down upon them.
A blood-red curtain stretched to the horizon, like a crimson Celestial River falling from the sky to slaughter everything below.
PFFT, PFFT, PFFT...
Mists of blood erupted as countless Beastman soldiers were slain in an instant. The attack brutally carved a bloody path that stretched all the way to the walls of King Xiangg City.
The Beastman soldiers below were terrified. The crimson saber light was too horrifying. They scrambled backward, no longer daring to approach the group of women and children.
KILL!
The Horned General and the other Beastman general seized the opportunity to rush him, their Battle Axes cleaving horizontally. A black crescent moon bloomed in the void as it slashed toward Ye Wushuang.
"Get back!"
Ye Wushuang roared, unhesitatingly unleashing his most powerful attack—Three Realms Slaughter! An endless torrent of blood-red saber light rained down, blanketing the world, as if it could destroy the heavens, sunder the earth, and slaughter all of creation!
The two Beastman generals’ attacks were instantly shattered. They retreated in horror, swinging their Battle Axes frantically to block the torrent of crimson light.
The Beastman soldiers below fell back in even greater terror, their eyes fixed on the figure in the sky with profound dread.
A wide path had opened before Guo Yurong and the others. It seemed unbelievable. Every one of them stared up at the figure in the sky, their eyes filled with utter adoration.
’Just go. Leave the rest to me!’
Those were the words the man had spoken. Now, he had made good on his promise, domineeringly carving a path for them. Ten thousand Beastmen dared not advance, even though they were only protecting a group of women and children!
"Let’s go!" Guo Yurong shouted, snapping back to her senses. Supporting one another, they stepped onto the bloody path.
RUMBLE!
Seeing this, thousands of Beastman soldiers surged forward again.
But just then, a domineering voice echoed across the Firmament, "Whoever dares to lay a single finger on them dies!"
Instantly, the hearts of all the Beastman soldiers trembled, and they halted in their tracks.
In the distance, on the walls of King Xiangg City, some of the garrisoned soldiers also witnessed the scene unfolding within the Beastman Army.
"There are human women and children surrounded over there! Celestial Wolf Army, advance!"
A resounding voice boomed from the city wall.
BOOM!
The city gates opened, and a thousand-strong troop charged out like a pack of starving wolves, heading straight for the Beastman Army.
This army rode upon Gale Demon Wolves that were as robust as tigers. Their iron-shod hooves thundered against the ground, making the very earth tremble as they charged forth like a great storm.
"It’s the Celestial Wolf Army!"
The Beastman Army fell into greater disarray as they watched the cavalry charge toward them.
RUMBLE!
The thousand-man contingent crashed into the Beastman Army, forming a protective circle around the women and children.
"Get them out of here!"
A general at the Yin Yang Realm shouted from within the troop’s ranks.
Immediately, some Celestial Wolf Soldiers dismounted, helped the women and children onto their Gale Demon Wolves, and galloped toward King Xiangg City.
From the sky, Ye Wushuang watched silently.
The general looked up at Ye Wushuang and gave a slight nod.
"Xiaoo Yue, let’s go."
After one last glance at the two Beastman generals in the distance, Ye Wushuang called out to the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc. With a long cry, the great roc soared over the Beastman Army and toward the gates of King Xiangg City.
"Damn it!" The Horned General’s rage was unabated. Just as he was about to order an attack, a faint voice sounded in his ear. "Fall back."
The Horned General froze, turning his head to glance toward the Celestial Pass Mountain Range.
He saw two figures standing there in the void.
"That young man in purple... he must be a physique genius. Interesting," said one of them, a youth with black horns and long, flowing black hair. He stared toward King Xiangg City as he spoke.
"A physique genius!"
Hearing this, the other man’s expression darkened. "Prince Mor Ke," he said, "if he’s truly a physique genius, why not take this chance to eliminate him and prevent any future trouble?"
"I do have the power to eliminate him right now. However, if I were to act, King Xiangg City would not sit idly by. This is merely a minor skirmish; it’s not worth escalating into a full-blown war. As for him... I’m sure our paths will cross again."
The young man called Prince Mor Ke smiled faintly, and within his eyes, terrifying visions of Fierce Demons swirled into existence—a truly fearsome sight!
