CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 450: BLOOD_1

"Third Ancestor!"

Watching the Old Ancestor die a tragic death, Zheng Guiqiong was startled and shouted in grief, "Great Ancestor, Second Ancestor, you must be careful!"

Since the great battle began, the Holy Qionghua Land had lost four Emperor realm Martial Artists. Just now, the Third Ancestor had also fallen, leaving only the last two Emperor realm Old Ancestors.

"Strike together!"

The Great Ancestor of the Holy Qionghua Land had a solemn look; in her pupils, a seven-colored flower bud appeared, blooming with brilliant rays of light.

In the next moment, her longsword was unsheathed. A brilliant seven-colored Sword Qi spread out, traversing heaven and earth as it slashed towards the Bei Wei Army.

"Defend!" the Deputy General of the Bei Wei Army roared.

Hearing the command, the Bei Wei Army soldiers quickly changed formation. Infinite blood-red light erupted from their bodies, connecting together in the void above their heads to form a blood-colored protective barrier.

BOOM!

The Sword Qi fell, blocked by the blood-colored protective barrier.

"Art of Thousand Flowers!"

On the other side, the Second Ancestor of the Holy Qionghua Land launched an attack. She formed countless green light points with her hands, scattering them onto the ground like a heavy shower of green rain. Each green light point revealed a mysterious aura.

When these green light points landed on the ground, a miraculous scene unfolded: tens of thousands of green sprouts broke through the blood-soaked earth and began to grow rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, plants hundreds of feet tall with thorny stems and leaves produced ugly red flowers resembling open mouths.

The core of each flower was filled with sharp teeth.

Red Demon Man-Eating Flowers!

These were a type of ferocious flower that thrived in blood, consuming flesh and blood to grow, and were exceedingly formidable.

"Go!"

The Second Ancestor of the Holy Qionghua Land turned pale; conjuring so many man-eating flowers demanded a large amount of Spiritual Energy.

Tens of thousands of Red Demon Man-Eating Flowers opened their maws, their stalks automatically extending, carrying a strong aura of death as they rushed towards the soldiers of the Bei Wei Army.

Caught off guard, hundreds of soldiers from the Bei Wei Army were devoured by the Red Demon Man-Eating Flowers. When the flower petals closed and reopened, they spat out clean-picked skeletons.

"Everyone, be careful!"

The Deputy General brandished his war blade. A thousand-zhang blade Qi tore through the air, severing the roots of the incoming Red Demon Man-Eating Flowers. Instantly, they lost their vitality and dissolved into pools of blood flowing on the ground.

This revealed that all the Red Demon Man-Eating Flowers were condensed from the blood on the battlefield.

Having discovered this, the Deputy General suddenly lifted his head, his gaze as sharp as a knife, staring straight at the Second Ancestor of the Holy Qionghua Land, killing intent blazing in his eyes.

"Power of the Army Soul, empower me!" the Deputy General roared.

A mass of blood-red energy shot down from the Army Soul, merging into his body and causing his strength to rapidly increase.

"Slay!"

The Deputy General raised his war blade high.

A blood-red blade Qi tore through the void, fortified with the power of the Bei Wei Army’s Army Soul, shattering everything in its path.

BOOM!

Hundreds of Red Demon Man-Eating Flowers were sliced in two. The Second Ancestor of the Holy Qionghua Land, who had been protected by the Red Demon Man-Eating Flowers, was struck by the blinding blade Qi and split in half before she could even resist.

"How...how is this possible?"

"You are merely a peak Semi-Emperor Martial Artist! How can you be so powerful? I can’t accept this... I can’t accept this!"

The voice of the Second Ancestor of the Holy Qionghua Land echoed in the void, filled with terror and unwillingness, before eventually fading away.

A line of blood bisected the Second Ancestor’s body; blood splattered, and her organs spilled onto the ground.

GULP.

This sight caused the pupils of the Holy Qionghua Land’s Great Ancestor to contract violently. Her face went slack with horror, and she couldn’t stop gulping, a chill running from her head to her feet.

Too horrifying!

Too savage!

"Come on!"

After slaying the Second Ancestor of the Holy Qionghua Land, the Deputy General turned his head to look at the Great Ancestor, his eyes blood-red, his face filled with Evil Qi as he roared.

The Great Ancestor of the Holy Qionghua Land’s heart trembled. She lost all intention to fight and, without hesitation, immediately fled the battlefield.

"Trash!"

The Deputy General looked on with contempt, spat, and then led his army to continue hunting the enemy.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" the Bei Wei Army soldiers roared, their morale surging. Like executioners, they harvested lives on the battlefield.

Blade light flashed, blood light surged!

Lost souls found no rest!

Hundreds of miles away, on a battlefield enveloped in blood fog, a thunderous roar echoed, "Scum, die for me!"

A crimson battle spear split the heavens and the earth.

BOOM!

Blood splattered across the sky as an Emperor realm expert of the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court was directly shattered by the spear Qi. The terrifying shockwaves even leveled a hill tens of miles away, turning it into a valley.

The tens of thousands of Thousand Demon Saint’s Court soldiers occupying the hill were all reduced to ashes.

"Dammit!"

Another Old Ancestor of the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court shivered and, without a second thought, transformed into a streak of blood light and fled.

Up to this point, he was the only Emperor realm Martial Artist from the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court, apart from Xiong Lie, who had survived.

"Charge!" roared the Deputy General of the Overlord Iron Cavalry. Empowered by the army soul, he plunged headlong into the enemy ranks. In no time, he was drenched in blood, exuding waves of potent Evil Qi.

Swarms of enemy soldiers fell under the blades of the Bei Wei Army and the Overlord Iron Cavalry.

Ten thousand!

One hundred thousand!

Ten million...

By sunset, over a hundred million soldiers from the Holy Qionghua Land and the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court had perished. Countless plumes of Blood Evil Qi accumulated in the clouds, forming giant blood dragons—a dreadful spectacle.

But as time passed, the Bei Wei Army and the Overlord Iron Cavalry also grew exhausted.

Although their cultivation was formidable, a full day of high-intensity attacks had pushed many of the weaker soldiers to their limits.

"Occupy the mountain!"

The Deputy General of the Bei Wei Army surveyed the battlefield. Spotting a huge mountain a hundred li away, his eyes lit up as he loudly commanded.

The army changed its direction of attack. After more than an hour, they broke through the dense enemy lines and reached the foot of the mountain.

"Prevent the enemy from occupying the mountain!" Zheng Guiqiong, hovering high in the air, discovered the Qin army’s intent. He circulated Spiritual Energy to his throat, and his authoritative voice echoed across the battlefield.

Atop the mountain, a million soldiers from the Holy Qionghua Land had gathered. They immediately organized their formations and set up multiple defensive lines at the foot of the mountain.

"Break!"

The Deputy General didn’t pause. With a single slash of his blade, he tore open a gap in the enemy’s blockade.

The Bei Wei Army soldiers pulled on their reins. Their warhorses, as if sprouting long wings, leaped into the air, clearing the blockade line and charging towards the mountaintop.

"Relay my orders! All units are to engage in rotation! Soldiers not in combat are to rest and recover their Spiritual Energy immediately!" the Deputy General commanded loudly.

"Yes, sir!" the blood-soaked Bei Wei Army soldiers responded, clasping their fists in salute.

A group of powerful soldiers, weapons at the ready, stood their ground, slaying all enemies who tried to rush up the mountain. The terrifying shockwaves of their attacks caused the entire mountain to tremble.

"To the mountain!"

Seeing this, the Deputy General of the Overlord Iron Cavalry charged towards the nearest peak.

Their path stained crimson for three hundred li, the Overlord Iron Cavalry ascended the massive mountain, securing the strategic high ground and fortifying their position.

Looking down from the mountain, one could see enemies everywhere within sight, and the sounds of battle resounded from all directions.

On this day, the Bei Wei Army and the Overlord Iron Cavalry conducted a bloody slaughter that stretched for ten thousand li!

The setting sun, reflecting off the blood, turned the entire sky crimson.

High above, Xiang Yu and Yue Fei were still locked in fierce battle. Both bore fresh scars, and the experts from the Eternal Temple they fought were similarly battered and bloodied.

"Order the entire army to attack relentlessly, day and night! The enemy is in poor condition; they will collapse sooner or later!" Zheng Guiqiong’s cold voice echoed through the heavens.

The order was given. The exhausted soldiers of the Holy Qionghua Land and the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court brandished their weapons and charged, again and again!

「Shen Yu Dao Domain!」

"Hold on! I will be there in two days at most!"

In a certain Dao Domain in the south, Guan Yu received intelligence from a Hidden Guard. His body tensed, and a frightening Evil Qi emanated from him.

Immediately, he ordered a forced march. The four great armies raced towards the Shen Yu Dao Domain, day and night, their movements wreathed in an incessant, swirling blood light that dyed the night sky red.

Riding his warhorse, Guan Yu focused on the location of the Shen Yu Dao Domain. I’m fortunate, he thought, that I managed to get some information from Kang Baohua. Our route hasn’t deviated; otherwise, the journey would have taken at least an entire day longer.

And a single day could change the outcome of the entire battle!
