CHAPTER 468: CHAPTER 452: ONE ARROW SAVES TWO ARMIES_1

SPURT!

Under the barrage of attacks, the Overlord Iron Cavalry was in an extremely battered state.

A soldier, his left arm severed and his body riddled with wounds, was struck by a flying piece of shrapnel. He tilted his head back and sprayed several mouthfuls of fresh blood, his aura withered as he let out a pained scream.

Many unconscious soldiers tumbled down the collapsing mountainside, buried beneath the thick mud.

The crimson battle formation rippled violently, dim and lightless, even showing signs of fracturing.

BOOM!

With a deafening roar, the entire Divine Fall Domain trembled violently.

An astonishing scene unfolded: the mountain range, spanning hundreds of miles and towering over sixty-five thousand feet high, catastrophically collapsed under the assault of the foreign race legions.

Lava, long buried beneath the mountain, erupted violently, shooting towards the sky. The dazzling red glow resembled a pillar connecting Heaven and Earth.

Heaven and Earth fell silent!

The foreign race legions ceased their attacks, all of them frozen in shock.

That mountain, a silent observer of eons of history, which had stood so majestically—was it just gone?

Is the Overlord Iron Cavalry annihilated? Even Xiong Lie was momentarily stunned before quickly regaining his composure. His eyes flashed as he gazed with intense anticipation at the site of the explosion, his sight piercing through the swirling dust to focus on the very core of the blast.

In the next moment, a triumphant smile spread across his face!

From within the greyish dust, soldiers of the Overlord Iron Cavalry and their Heavenly Wolf Tribe mounts crawled out from the mud, their faces caked with filth, presenting a wretched sight.

"Cough, cough!"

The Deputy General of the Overlord Iron Cavalry pushed aside the rocks pinning him down. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he used his spear to laboriously push himself to his feet and weakly called out, "How many are left? Assemble!"

As his voice spread, soldiers of the Overlord Iron Cavalry, riding their Heavenly Wolves, gathered together—less than half of their original strength remained.

The sight of their sparse, straggling numbers made the Deputy General’s expression change repeatedly!

"Brothers, form up!"

Once most of the survivors had gathered, the Deputy General gritted his teeth and commanded, "Charge with me!"

BOOM!

A pillar of blood-red energy pierced through the dust as over one million six hundred thousand soldiers of the Overlord Iron Cavalry, brandishing their weapons, launched a desperate charge towards the outside.

As long as we live, our spirits are indomitable, and the fight never ends!

After breaking out of the explosion zone, they found themselves facing countless soldiers of the foreign races!

A thousand miles away, the Deputy General of the Bei Wei Army turned pale at the sight of the collapsed mountain.

It seems we can’t stay on the mountain anymore!

With no time to worry about the Overlord Iron Cavalry’s fate, his figure shot through the air as he decisively commanded, "Relay my orders! The entire army is to form up and swiftly evacuate the mountains! We move to rescue the Overlord Iron Cavalry!"

"As you command!"

The Bei Wei Army soldiers roared, stuffing handfuls of medicinal pills into their mouths. Dragging their exhausted bodies, they descended the mountain with the ferocity of tigers charging downwards, rushing towards the Saintly Lotus Land’s legions.

Though exhausted, they could still fight!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Innumerable battle cries echoed through the sky. A terrifying Evil Qi surged to the heavens and swept across the distant lands. In an instant, it permeated the nine firmaments, threatening to turn this world into a sea of blood.

BOOM!

The moment the two sides clashed, countless soldiers of the Saintly Lotus Land were slain, their sturdy bodies torn asunder, transforming into a rain of blood from the sky.

Like ants, the soldiers of the Saintly Lotus Land had no power to resist. Any who drew even slightly near the Bei Wei Army were instantly cut down, their souls departing.

Zheng Guiqiong’s face turned extremely cold, his eyes blazing with endless fury, yet he felt utterly helpless. Damn it!

Even after being besieged for a day and a night, the Bei Wei Army’s strength was still formidable!

Led by their Deputy General, the Bei Wei Army carved a bloody path through the encircling enemy ranks, breaking through the Saintly Lotus Land’s legions and then the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court’s legions, finally reuniting with the Overlord Iron Cavalry.

"Quick, retreat!" the Deputy General of the Bei Wei Army roared.

The Deputy General of the Overlord Iron Cavalry nodded in agreement, a hint of gratitude in his eyes. Veins bulged on his right hand as he slammed his spear down.

BOOM!

Dozens of soldiers from the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court exploded, limbs and blood flying, painting a hellish scene.

The two armies, now joined, rapidly began their breakout towards the south.

When the Bei Wei Army tired, the Overlord Iron Cavalry took up the fight!

When the Overlord Iron Cavalry faltered, the Bei Wei Army met the enemy!

The two great armies cooperated seamlessly, unleashing astonishing combat power and resilience. In the Divine Fall Domain, a land choked with battlefields, they fought the enemy for another whole day.

Counting carefully, this was already the third day of the great battle!

Under the rising sun, the soldiers of the Bei Wei Army and the Overlord Iron Cavalry were deathly pale and in dire condition. However, a fervent glow burned in everyone’s eyes.

After a day of brutal fighting, they had reached the edge of the Divine Fall Domain. Another thousand miles, and they would break through the enemy’s encirclement.

This great war that spanned the entire domain was about to end!

Above the sky, Zheng Guiqiong and Xiong Lie wore sullen expressions, their faces etched with anxiety. Damn it! If the Qin Army escaped the Divine Fall Domain, they would have no way to pursue or intercept them.

Are we going to fail again?

This question, like a curse, struck deep into the hearts of the man and the beast, causing them immense anguish.

They had already failed far too many times!

"AHHHH..."

Xiong Lie roared skyward, his fur bristling. Every single hair, without exception, turned blood-red as crimson flames erupted around him, radiating a violent aura.

He didn’t want to fail again! He wanted to keep the Qin Army here! He wanted to avenge his grievances and wash away his humiliation!

"Vital Blood, burn!"

Xiong Lie’s eyes were filled with madness. His vital blood incinerated, causing his strength to skyrocket. In the blink of an eye, he broke through from the early stage of the Emperor Realm to its peak, just a step away from the Ancient Great Emperor Realm.

But! This still wasn’t enough—far from enough! He needed the power to destroy the Qin Army with a single strike!

"Soul Power, burn!"

Xiong Lie continued to howl.

Behind the red flames, an illusory soul emerged, engulfed in white fire. Its power dramatically amplified his strength, pushing him into the Ten-Thousand-Year Great Emperor Realm.

"Suppress!"

The twofold agony of body and soul twisted Xiong Lie’s features. He glared fiercely at the Bei Wei Army and the Overlord Iron Cavalry, his eyes filled with boundless hatred. His fists clenched, veins bulging, as immeasurable fist energy condensed. He punched down with all his might.

BOOM!

Two colossal fist imprints tore through the air.

As if the world itself were ending, the firmament directly above shattered and collapsed.

A wave of deathly power tore through the void, enveloping the soldiers of the Bei Wei Army and the Overlord Iron Cavalry, making their hearts shudder.

This is bad! The two Deputy Generals looked up with difficulty, their faces extremely grim.

With their reinforced battle formation, they could slay Emperor Realm Martial Artists, but they were no match for an Ancient Great Emperor.

One realm’s difference was like a world apart!

To kill an Ancient Great Emperor Realm Martial Artist, it was utterly impossible unless their collective strength rose by an entire tier.

The Deputy General of the Bei Wei Army sighed, his eyes filled with despair. Is Heaven itself going to annihilate us? General, it’s possible your deduction was wrong! There might be no reinforcements coming at all!

He recalled Yue Fei’s confident assurance before the war: reinforcements would definitely arrive within three days, and this was the perfect opportunity to annihilate the main forces of the Saintly Lotus Land and the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court.

"Even in death, I’ll drag a few down with me!" the Deputy General of the Overlord Iron Cavalry roared defiantly. A ball of red flame ignited from his feet, and his nearly depleted Spiritual Energy began to surge once more.

The more than one million soldiers of the Overlord Iron Cavalry also prepared to burn their essence blood!

Like general, like soldier!

Having followed Xiang Yu, they had inherited some of his domineering aura and possessed a determination to fight to the death; even at the brink of oblivion, they would not abandon the fight.

"Stop!"

At that critical moment, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in the southern sky, radiating an extreme sharpness.

Looking closer, one would see it was an arrow, imbued with the pure power of the Arrow Dao Laws, exuding a terrifying aura that awed the firmament.

This single arrow caused Heaven and Earth to tremble!

The arrow moved with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, it crossed thousands of miles of space, pierced through the two fist imprints unleashed by Xiong Lie, and then, dragging a long tail of fire, vanished at the far horizon of the sky.

The Deputy General of the Overlord Iron Cavalry froze, halting the burning of his essence blood. He turned his head to look south.

There, a white-haired old general stood, maintaining his archery stance!

Behind the old general stood formidable armies, their ’Qin’ banners snapping in the wind, gleaming brilliantly under the sunlight!
