To the southwest of Hui Ming Prefecture lay the borders of Shao Kang Prefecture, while to the northwest it bordered Da Ye Prefecture. Lin Wu Prefecture lay to the north, Feng Li Prefecture to the east, and Jin An Prefecture to the south.

Before its incorporation into the territory of Xia, this region was once a crucible of warfare.

Though peace had reigned for many years now, a certain negligence had crept into the ways of war. Yet, the innate ferocity and bloodthirst of the Hui Ming people still lay dormant within their bones.

Hong Gu City’s sudden fall, its war resources plundered bare by the Qi army… whether by the swift messages borne by flying eagles, the reports from Yu Tai Qing Jun patrols, or even the personal accounts of the Hong Gu City garrison, the news was repeatedly confirmed. Indeed, a Qi army, somehow, had slipped past Hu Yang Pass and penetrated deep into Xia’s interior…

The entirety of Hui Ming Prefecture was instantly thrown into a whirlwind of chaos and unrest!

After all, Xia Country still possessed the vestiges of its former hegemonic power. Though it had declined, its inherent momentum was far from spent. Within Hui Ming Prefecture, despite the saying, “The elite soldiers of Hui Ming are all at Hu Yang,” the garrisons of the other major cities still maintained a considerable degree of military might.

Of Hui Ming Prefecture’s seventeen cities, save for the already fallen Hong Gu City and Yun Ni City, which was highly likely to be the Qi army’s next target, the remaining fifteen cities urgently mobilized their troops, marching them out with haste. All forces converged towards the border regions between Hui Ming and Shao Kang, aiming to seal off the entire area between Hong Gu and Yun Ni within the shortest possible time.

And the reason why the various cities of Hui Ming could respond with such speed, and execute the deployment and seal-off so simply and efficiently within such a short timeframe… was because the Grand Xia’s Xuan Ping Hou, Fan Ao, had already made a timely withdrawal and personally arrived in Hui Ming!

Speaking of Fan Ao, he was a true disciple of the Legalist school, with his origins in the Three Punishments Palace.

Once, as a Punishments Palace disciple, he traversed the world bearing a thorn and a sword, gaining profound knowledge before returning to serve Xia.

(The thorn is a tool of the Punishments personnel. Legalist disciples carry it during their travels to signify that the law cannot be taken lightly.)

His background, his strength, his honors, all marked him as a figure of undeniable importance at the highest levels of Xia Country.

On the eastern battle line, where the fighting against the Qi army raged, he was an even more crucial core figure on the Xia side.

Under the overall command of Feng Guo Gong Zhou Ying on the eastern front, and with the assistance of the Protect Country Great Array, the Qi army was firmly contained within the eight northern cities of Lin Wu Prefecture during the initial stages. The concept of a flesh-and-mud pit, which Feng Jie Prefecture had failed to achieve, was almost realized within Lin Wu Prefecture.

However, as the rear suddenly erupted in flames, the meticulously constructed defense system that Zhou Ying had poured his heart and blood into suffered repeated setbacks. The eight northern cities of Lin Wu Prefecture were finally breached by the Qi army. While Zhou Ying worked to reconstruct the defense line, he also swiftly redeployed forces to quell the internal unrest.

He had dispatched two Hou Ye!

These were none other than An Guo Hou Jin Ling and Xuan Ping Hou Fan Ao.

One must understand that in this brutal environment of close-quarters combat, every strong individual at the God Lin level was an indispensable military asset.

One could even say they were the cornerstones of Grand Xia’s defense system, akin to the ballast stones on this teetering dragon boat.

Soldiers clashed with soldiers, generals with generals, and strong individuals mutually restrained one another.

Zhou Ying’s decision to dispatch two Hou Ye back to the rear necessarily meant making further concessions on the front line. This also demonstrated the immense importance he placed on this internal threat.

The people of Xia Country were absolutely unwilling to see the story of Heavy Xuan Chu Liang repeat itself!

Among them, An Guo Hou Jin Ling personally led his army, rushing straight to Xi Ming City, the southernmost key city in Lin Wu Prefecture, to personally suppress the chaos in the south. (This is why he directly clashed with Heavy Xuan Zun, who was eagerly seeking merit on the interspersed battlefield.)

Fan Ao, however, believed that the small Qi army that had绕 around to the rear of the Xia army would absolutely not linger too long in the south of Lin Wu Prefecture. After shaking the Lin Wu defense line and initially achieving its strategic objective, the rear of Lin Wu was an even more dangerous place!

Among these, Ping Lin Prefecture was close to Xiang You Prefecture, and after the Tong Yang City defense line, it was absolutely not a place that this small Qi army could shake.

He was deeply familiar with the capabilities of Chu Shuo, the garrison general of Hu Yang Pass. He knew that even if he were to lead an army personally, he would absolutely not be able to breach the pass in a short time, let alone this small, fragmented Qi army… Thus, Hui Ming Prefecture was also a safe place.

He worried about Feng Li!

Feng Li Prefecture similarly bordered Lin Wu Prefecture, and Feng Li was a border prefecture, adjacent to Jin An… Jin An Prefecture was garrisoned with the border army tasked with guarding against Liang Country!

Once Jin An Prefecture was attacked from the rear, and the Liang army glimpsed an opportunity, these Liang Country people, who were originally only posturing and restraining themselves, might not hesitate to make a rash move!

Fan Ao crossed the border alone, rushing rapidly to Feng Li. His aim was to quell the danger before it arose and resolve the disaster before it occurred. But in the twenty-four cities of Feng Li, there was not a single ripple of disturbance.

He even went so far as to spread his spiritual awareness across the land, personally investigating several key locations, yet he found no trace of the Qi army entering the border.

It was at this time that news arrived of An Guo Hou engaging the enemy in Xi Ming City, and his opponent was none other than Heavy Xuan Zun, who had come directly from the north of Lin Wu! From this perspective, the branch of the Qi army stirring up trouble in the rear of Lin Wu Prefecture seemed to be a part of Heavy Xuan Zun’s plan—

—This also made sense.

A character like Heavy Xuan Zun, a prodigy renowned from a young age, should naturally possess ambition commensurate with his talent.

Choosing Xi Ming City as his battle to make a name for himself in the Qi-Xia war was also a logical choice.

But…

A sense of unease lingered in Fan Ao’s heart.

He always felt as though he had miscalculated something.

It wasn’t until he was rushing to Xi Ming City, preparing to join forces with An Guo Hou to eliminate Heavy Xuan Zun, that he received news of the abnormality in Hui Ming Prefecture!

Only then did he realize where his judgment had gone wrong.

That branch of the Qi army stirring up trouble in the rear of Xia Country was not unified with Heavy Xuan Zun, but rather in a mutually cooperative relationship! Its commander possessed an independent will, an outstanding battlefield vision, and every step taken was precisely designed to discomfort the enemy. They were absolutely a military genius no less capable than Heavy Xuan Zun! Furthermore, this commander was the one dictating the rhythm of the war!

Moreover, how exactly did such a branch of the Qi army enter Hui Ming Prefecture?

How did they breach Hu Yang Pass?

Was Chu Shuo dead or had he surrendered?

All sorts of dire possibilities, previously unthinkable, now became concrete due to this change, sending a chill down Fan Ao’s spine.

Information on the battlefield was ever-changing, and messages could not always be transmitted in a timely manner.

He could only act based on the existing intelligence, planning for the worst-case scenario.

He immediately withdrew, and with the status of a Guo Hou and the cultivation of a God Lin, he spared no expense, flying alone at full speed towards Hui Ming.

He first transmitted urgent messages to the various cities in Hui Ming Prefecture, dispatching flying eagles and roaming riders. He urgently mobilized the soldiers of each city, ordering them to connect their two departments, respond to the three armies, link their formations, lock down the passes, and seal off the roads. They rapidly formed a massive pocket, encompassing the area between Hong Gu City and Shao Kang Prefecture, sealing off the space equivalent to three days’ march for the elite Zhen Guo army.

His aim was to eradicate this festering wound in the heartland before it spread further. But as he swept through multiple locations, he only captured the scattered soldiers of the Hong Gu City garrison. He didn’t even see the shadow of a single Qi soldier, as if that wasn’t a unit of three thousand men, but merely two or three extraordinary cultivators who had infiltrated Hui Ming to gather military intelligence and had now vanished into the sky or burrowed into the earth.

Even if they had truly burrowed into the earth… such a large-scale army formation fluctuation should not have escaped the detection of the Xun Yuan Dog.

Where did the problem lie?!

“See that eagle?” Lying in a mountain hollow, Heavy Xuan Sheng’s body was covered in a pile of grass for concealment. He narrowed his eyes and looked towards the distant sky.

There was a lean and fierce gray eagle, soaring rapidly in the vast expanse.

Jiang Wang glanced at it casually: “Shall I go kill it?”

“Cannot kill,” Heavy Xuan Sheng said in a relaxed tone. “Killing it will expose our tracks.”

The isolation of long-distance communication methods was a form of interference that acted upon the rules themselves. Each country had its own means, but they converged to the same goal in essence. On the side of Qi Country, it was completed by Ruan Qu based on star power. On the side of Xia Country, it was Yu Li Yang borrowing the power of the nation.

Under normal circumstances, extraordinary means were endless. Where would it all end? Targeting a specific technique could only lead to defending one while losing another.

Take this flying eagle with demon beast bloodline, for instance. For a cultivator proficient in beast control, attaching their vision to its body was truly not a difficult matter.

Without interference, a cultivator with sufficient strength, deploying several hundred flying eagles, would be enough to cover the battlefield with their vision.

But under wartime conditions, where the rules of long-distance communication were severed, the result of an extraordinary cultivator using a flying eagle as their eyes was that they simply could not obtain long-distance vision.

Thus, in true warfare, flying eagles could only serve their most primitive function of transmitting messages. And specialized flying beasts cultivated by the Beast Control Courtyard, though specifically used for message transmission and flying faster and higher, were still easily intercepted and killed by extraordinary strong individuals.

However, being killed itself was also a form of information transmission. Especially for the Xia army in Hui Ming Prefecture at this time, the disappearance of a flying eagle could quickly help them pinpoint the target area.

As the two spoke, several more flying eagles flew overhead.

“They don’t seem to be in chaos,” Jiang Wang frowned.

“Yes, all the message-carrying flying beasts I released from Hong Gu City, meant to create chaos by transmitting false military intelligence, were suppressed very quickly,” Heavy Xuan Sheng said unhurriedly. “A major figure from the Xia army has arrived and is now restoring order in Hui Ming Prefecture.”

“Want to interfere a bit?” Jiang Wang asked.

Heavy Xuan Sheng sneered: “We’re about to leave, what business is it of ours?”

“March!” He leaped out of the mountain hollow.

The soldiers of the Victory Camp, one by one, emerged from their hiding places, quickly forming into teams, and followed closely behind Heavy Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang, running straight towards Xin Jie City.

From ancient times, marching has been a significant challenge.

The more urgent the march, the greater the test of the soldiers’ quality and the generals’ ability.

The more soldiers commanded, the harder it was to control the army’s speed.

It wasn’t until the Great Marshal of Chang Country’s army in previous years, known as the “Soldier Immortal,” Yang Zhen, created the “Ten Thousand Army Mutual Benefit Array” that the difficulty of army marching was fundamentally reduced.

The name of this army array didn’t sound particularly majestic.

Its effect, when described, also seemed very ordinary—it was simply an array that could utilize the scattered blood qi and military evil generated by the advancing army to boost the marching speed, maintain the soldiers’ physical condition, and supplement their energy consumption.

But after this, the marching armies of the world, regardless of the array they deployed or the school they belonged to, all used the Ten Thousand Army Mutual Benefit Array as their foundation.

The formidable aspect of the “Ten Thousand Army Mutual Benefit Array” lay in the fact that if the commander possessed sufficient ability, the more soldiers there were, the better the effect, and the “safe marching speed” would simply be faster. This was a truly subversive innovation in military common sense, and also an innovation in extraordinary warfare!

The reason why “safe marching speed” needed to be emphasized was, of course, because under extreme circumstances, there were faster options.

For instance, if the Qiu Sha Army formed an army array, beating the drums of military evil, and Heavy Xuan Chu Liang directly merged with the army to lead the evil, using the power of the army array to charge through the roads, their marching speed would not only be ten or a hundred times faster!

But in that case, by the time the army arrived on the battlefield, they would only be there to be slaughtered and offer themselves up as food for the enemy army…

Cao Ji’s ability to lead an army of a million to Xia in eight days was, of course, proof of his status as a world-renowned general.

Heavy Xuan Sheng bringing three thousand elites to march, yet paradoxically could not achieve that speed…

Xin Jie City was located in the eastern part of Hui Ming Prefecture, adjacent to Feng Li Prefecture, and it was also a necessary passage for this branch of “Feng Li Prefecture army” returning home.

Heavy Xuan Sheng indeed did not deceive Chu Yu Long; he truly brought his people “home.”

Just a few days late.

Under the threat of sharp arrows and great crossbows, they risked infiltrating past Hu Yang Pass. While Hui Ming Prefecture still had not sensed the breath of war, they lightly took Hong Gu City, using this to stir up the situation and disturb the winds and clouds. While the armies of the various cities in Hui Ming Prefecture were all converging towards the west, they were already heading east!

Heavy Xuan Sheng’s deployment of his forces was like stepping on the hearts of the people, each step leaving them unable to avoid his movements.

But the essence of war, in the end, was the blade and the gun. No matter how many strategies were devised, ultimately, it still came down to slitting throats with blades and fighting for life with life.

Still far from Xin Jie City, Heavy Xuan Sheng had already ordered the entire army to halt.

“What, another change of clothes?” Jiang Wang asked.

Heavy Xuan Sheng shook his head: “The inherent impression that Hu Yang Pass cannot be crossed has been broken. The people of Xia Country are now on guard, and trying to lightly take a city is impossible now. Especially under the current circumstances, Xin Jie City has mobilized its main force to the west, and the general guarding the city will be even more vigilant. They will absolutely not allow an army to approach.”

He looked at Jiang Wang: “Brother Wang, now I can only rely on you. I need you to seize the gate alone!”

“Even if I reach the God Lin level, trying to bombard the city protection great array alone would not be enough…” Jiang Wang said, then suddenly raised his eyebrow: “Yu Tai Qing Jun!?”

He finally realized why Heavy Xuan Sheng had specifically brought a Xia army messenger rider with him while on the run. It was for this moment!

Heavy Xuan Sheng applauded: “Brother Jiang’s intelligence is remarkable! Truly, nothing can be hidden from you!”

Jiang Wang ignored him, weighing the matter carefully in his heart, and then said: “I can try.”

These four words were spoken lightly, like a floating cloud.

The smile on Heavy Xuan Sheng’s face faded. He said nothing, but stepped forward and gave Jiang Wang a heavy hug.

No matter how much Xin Jie City mobilized its soldiers to the west of Hui Luo Prefecture to block the Qi army, the necessary garrison force for city defense would not be small. At the very least, there would be three to five thousand men guarding the city.

With the reinforcement of the city protection great array, plus the army array, plus the city defense weapons…

Even a prodigy like Jiang Wang would be in danger of perishing if he exposed himself prematurely!

The words “single ride seize the gate” sounded good.

Yet, it was a true battle of life and death, with a sharp blade held to the neck.

He first needed to disguise himself properly, approaching the city gate with the identity of a Yu Tai Qing Jun patrol rider to transmit a message.

Second, he would hand over the message to the guard general and wait for an opportunity to kill him.

Third, under the suppression of the city protection great array, and the pressure of the army array and weapons, he would complete the task of breaking the gate.

Fourth, he would hold out until Heavy Xuan Sheng arrived with the army.

If any of these steps were not executed properly, he would face mortal danger!

And after careful consideration, he only said he could try.

In comparison, Heavy Xuan Sheng handing such a dangerous task to him, without saying anything extra.

Perhaps the several thousand soldiers of the Victory Camp had achieved a full harvest on this journey, gaining military merit and wealth. They felt the exhilaration of unstoppable momentum and victory in every battle.

But as the core of the Victory Camp, these two individuals were constantly aware of the danger.

After all, they were deep within the enemy’s territory, surrounded by foes, like a boat fighting waves in the deep, angry sea, capable of being swallowed by a huge tide at any moment.

It was only because of Heavy Xuan Sheng’s outstanding intelligence that everything seemed so relaxed.

But how could Heavy Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang, who bore the lives and deaths of three thousand people, be relaxed?

Jiang Wang was constantly cultivating, and Heavy Xuan Sheng was constantly thinking.

They exchanged thoughts and discussed strategies nonstop, but in reality, being deep within enemy territory left them with few choices.

With the restructuring of the war order in Hui Ming Prefecture and the clear arrival of a major figure from Xia to take charge, the warning signs of danger reached their highest point.

If there was still room for maneuver before, then from now on, not a single step could be taken wrong!

Xin Jie City was a city that had to be taken, and it was especially crucial in Heavy Xuan Sheng’s strategic plan.

By using the fall of Hong Gu City and the unified command of the Shao Kang Prefecture army to stir up trouble in Hui Luo Prefecture and draw the attention of the Shao Kang Prefecture defenses, Heavy Xuan Sheng had already created the best conditions through his intelligence.

Now it was time to take a gamble.

To take Xin Jie, a direct assault was not an option. Three thousand men bombarding the front lines with an army array had no chance of breaking the city, and even a large army could not approach the city walls.

With one man’s courage, to chop down the general, seize the flag, and occupy the gate, was the only opportunity under these circumstances.

If Heavy Xuan Sheng had been the one with stronger military might, he would have undoubtedly taken on the task himself.

Now, Jiang Wang thought of nothing else, for the same reason.

Their friendship had already surpassed unnecessary considerations.

They trusted each other implicitly.

They said all the unnecessary things, moment by moment. At this time, yet… there was no need for extra words!

Jiang Wang left his storage box and Chang Xiang Si behind.

He changed into a military uniform, mounted the Yu Tai Qing Jun horse, took the Xia army messenger rider’s flag and seal, the standard short crossbow and short sword of a Yu Tai patrol rider, and after learning a few sentences in the northern accent of Hui Ming Prefecture from Heavy Xuan Sheng… he gently pulled the reins, kicked the horse’s flanks, and rode off towards Xin Jie City.

The large city stood majestic, the vast sky pressing low with clouds, and the city protection river wound around it like a jade belt.

The city protection great array was already open—all the cities they had passed on the way were like this. The Xia Country garrison was no longer too concerned with consumption, turning instead to a more cautious defensive strategy.

Wearing the standard vibrant green short jacket of the Xia Country Yu Tai patrol rider, using the Huo Dou Seal in one hand to conceal the brilliance of treasures, Jiang Wang rode alone, galloping towards Xin Jie City.

Heavy Xuan Sheng and Shi Si hid in the shadow of a tree, watching from afar.

At that moment, the distant city was like a mountain, and the distant sky like a painting.

At that moment, the flowing clouds were like galloping horses.

At that moment, the green and white steed, and the rider on its back, rode away without looking back.

“I am a Yu Tai patrol rider, transmitting urgent military intelligence. Xin Jie City garrison general, receive the order!”

“I am a Yu Tai patrol rider, transmitting urgent military intelligence. Xin Jie City garrison general, receive the order!”

Jiang Wang rode the horse and called out loudly, summoning his Path Origin and raising his voice three times.

Above Xin Jie City, several racks of great crossbows shifted. Brilliance flowed, and cold light gleamed.

Jiang Wang immediately held the flag high in one hand, and with the other hand also open, raised both high to show that he posed absolutely no threat. His mouth still called out: “Where is the city garrison general?!”

A moment later, a general leaned over from the city tower: “What order are you transmitting?”

Jiang Wang only said: “Major military intelligence, only for the Xin Jie garrison general. Please verify with the official seal!”

The rules of the Yu Tai patrol riders were known to the Xin Jie City garrison general.

But the order had to be carried on the person, and the seal could not be handed over to others. Rashly making contact with someone outside the city, he was also unwilling.

He only said: “Please cease your Path Origin and accept inspection!”

Jiang Wang said nothing, raising both hands high on the horse’s back, while simultaneously releasing his Path Origin fluctuations.

At this moment, if the garrison on the city tower had malicious intentions, one shot from the great crossbow would make it very difficult for him to react!

At the same time, two garrison soldiers leaped down.

One took out a gray array disc, ordering Jiang Wang to drip blood on it.

This was a God Ban Disk, its name impressive, but its actual effect was only to detect whether the target had God Lin level cultivation. This array disc was developed precisely to prevent situations of single soldiers seizing cities.

Cultivation could be hidden, and aura could be converged, but the essence of the God Lin level’s golden body and jade marrow could not be altered. Dripping blood on the array disc above would reveal everything.

The so-called God Ban was to ban “God” from entering the city.

A God Lin cultivator could not possibly be a Yu Tai patrol rider, and a cultivator below the God Lin level was almost impossible to be a match for the pressure of the city protection great array.

Jiang Wang did as he was told.

Another garrison soldier then began to search Jiang Wang’s body.

His storage box and carried long sword were all left with Heavy Xuan Sheng.

The standard short crossbow and short sword of the Yu Tai patrol rider were also taken away.

That person then reached out to take the message tube hanging on his waist—Jiang Wang did not move his hands, but glared angrily at the person: “One who has not received the order cannot peek at military intelligence. Violators will be executed!”

The garrison soldier responsible for the search did not speak, but still opened the message tube to look inside. Except for the military order rolled into a bundle, there was nothing else. No symbols, seals, or array discs that could cause instant harm… Thus, he closed the message tube.

The garrison soldier holding the God Ban Disk then nodded towards the city wall, indicating that the inspection had passed.

Thus, the Xin Jie City garrison general ordered a rope to be lowered, saying: “Come up and speak.”

Under the suppression of the city protection great array, those not recognized by the main array could only fly with great difficulty.

So, even though Yu Tai patrol riders were all extraordinary cultivators, and many of them were at the Teng Long level, Xin Jie City still lowered a long rope—the reason for not using a basket was, of course, because climbing the rope with both hands was itself a form of defenselessness.

If the garrison general had the slightest doubt during the climb, he could shoot him dead at any moment!

Single-handedly taking a city was indeed a precarious task. You had to place yourself in danger to gain the trust of others.

Jiang Wang said nothing, bit the order flag horizontally in his mouth, leaped off the horse’s back, held the long rope with both hands, and climbed up with agility.

He quickly reached the city tower, where he saw a formation of a five-hundred-man army array ready to deter, and two racks of great crossbows positioned opposite him.

The city garrison general was also fully armored, bathed in the light of the city protection great array.

Jiang Wang knew in his heart that against this garrison general who efficiently controlled the entire city protection great array, he had only one opportunity for a strike.

Once the opponent counterattacked by borrowing the power of the great array, his only recourse would be to escape with his life.

With ten thousand calculations in his heart, but not a ripple of emotion on his face, he stood behind the city parapet, holding the order flag carefully in his hand. Following the rules, he did not take a single step forward, repeating: “Major military intelligence, only for the Xin Jie garrison general. Please verify with the official seal!”

“I am Xue Fang, the garrison general of this city.” The Xin Jie City garrison general asked casually: “Brother, where are you from?”

Jiang Wang did not answer, only saying: “Please verify with the official seal!”

He had only learned these few sentences, and saying more would expose him, so he was unwilling to engage in further conversation.

Fortunately, with the military intelligence being urgent, this kind of rudeness was more in line with reality.

The garrison general named Xue Fang did not mind. He took out the official seal used for verification from his storage object and then took out his own general’s order: “Come, let’s compare… Xuan Ping Hou just led his soldiers away three days ago, what else could have happened?”

In front of him, this silent Yu Tai patrol rider said nothing, only took out the message tube he carried and from it took out the official seal and military order. Xue Fang saw that it was a slender, powerful hand, very suitable for holding a sword.

Of course, at this moment, the person’s sword and crossbow had already been confiscated.

He didn’t know why, but his gaze suddenly lifted, and then he saw a pair of crimson-gold pupils, which collided with his gaze along his line of sight—

—Like dry weeds being crushed and rotten wood being smashed, they directly collided into the depths of his consciousness. A wheel of great sun had already set in the west, bursting with vast power, falling into the Tong Tian Palace, smashing open its door with brute force!

The enemy at the soul level had already breached the city, and the enemy outside had already entered the city!

A terrifying surge of soul power erupted.

The strong protection of the Tong Tian Palace to its host allowed him to barely organize a soul defense.

But the body outside the body had already turned cold.

At the Outer Building level, who could remain stunned in front of Jiang Wang?

He barely felt any pain before falling into an endless darkness.

A small Yu Tai order flag pierced directly through his skull!

He was born to guard the city, and died standing with the flag.

And Jiang Wang, succeeding in one strike, continued to urge his soul power, instantly weaving and attacking in all directions under the effect of the single-ride formation-breaking diagram, like a hundred swimming snakes!

The advantage of being strong at the soul level was not enough to allow him to directly destroy an opponent of the same level under the protection of the Tong Tian Palace, but against these small soldiers guarding the city, it was enough to easily create chaos.

Crack, crack!

Amidst the sound of the decisive mechanism unfolding, break-law crossbow arrows howled towards him.

The mark of the Qing Yun Seal appeared subtly, and Jiang Wang barely managed to avoid them by a narrow margin.

He already felt the entire city protection great array exerting pressure on him. Although Xue Fang was dead, the city protection great array was still open. The gift from Zi Ji Zhi Zheng Long outside his body was now resisting, four star towers in the high sky shone, and a star path connected the four towers, descending straight into the human world!

Vast and boundless star power surged, covering Jiang Wang’s body, resisting the pressure of the city protection great array with terrifying consumption.

Five wheels of divine light circulated between his chest and abdomen!

Amidst the dense cracking of bones and violent flow of blood—a Tian Fu appeared.

He took a step forward, already facing the forefront of the five-hundred-man army array on the city wall.

His left hand, raised at some unknown point, pressed directly down—an ancient garden with pavilions and cabinets, where vehicles flowed like water and horses like dragons.

A brilliant, magnificent city of flames instantly submerged the enemy array, overturning the city tower!
