CHAPTER 721: CHAPTER 731: CONFRONTING THE TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE SLAUGHTER

"You said my third brother has become a Marshal of the Northern Beixie Empire..." Chu Jianlan was astounded and, realizing there were still many people around, he immediately closed his mouth.

If his third brother refused to talk, then it was a secret.

He had to keep this secret for his third brother.

Although Chu Jianlan still had some doubts, he quickly confirmed his wife’s speculation through a few clues.

In the following days, not only did the Northern Beixie Empire withdraw all their troops, returning the four guardian cities to the Jianyun Dynasty, but they also pursued and attacked the armies of the Great Ma Empire. One by one, the fallen cities of the Jianyun Dynasty were reclaimed by Chu Jianlan.

Under the name of Beixie Emperor, Chu Feng led the elite forces of the Northern Beixie Empire, relentlessly counterattacking.

Advancing triumphantly, in less than half a month, he had conquered over ninety percent of Dan State’s cities. Moreover, the strength of his army grew ever larger.

From over six hundred thousand, it swelled to more than three million.

That’s an expansion of nearly fivefold.

And that was after imposing strict standards and kicking out any unqualified soldiers who had surrendered.

The counterattack wasn’t always smooth sailing; they did encounter several formidable opponents along the way. However, with Chu Feng and Yan Qing, the two supreme masters, they could often directly slay the enemy generals.

Thus, even the mightiest enemy troops could not withstand them.

The army continued its assault until it finally reached the Imperial City of the Great Ma Empire.

Medicine King City!

This city is situated more than thirty miles from the foothills of Changbai Immortal Mountain.

A long time ago, this place was just a small village.

Later, as Chu Feng’s reputation for Alchemy grew, and he became reclusive on Changbai Immortal Mountain for Alchemy practices.

Many people came here seeking fame, either wishing to request an Elixir, become an apprentice, or just being herbal and Elixir merchants. Slowly, the small village at the foot of Changbai Immortal Mountain began its sky-defying expansion.

From a village, it turned into a town, then into a small city, and finally, a major city.

At the pinnacle of the Eternal Life Pill Master’s era, it had become the number one city in Dan State.

After Ma Quanzi established the Great Ma Empire, he directly declared Medicine King City as the Imperial City.

Now, the troops were at the city’s gates.

Leading an elite army of a million, Chu Feng arrayed his forces outside Medicine King City, ready to charge at any moment.

"Great Ma Emperor Ma Quanzi, cruel and debauched, betraying mentors and ancestors, poisoning the people, plunging billions of Dan State’s citizens into misery. I, the Marshal, am commanded by the Beixie Emperor’s army,

to come and suppress you. Soldiers within the city, listen! Swiftly open the city gates, kneel outside and submit, and you may be granted clemency."

"If you dare resist, after I capture this city, all of you will be dismembered alive and subjected to death by a thousand cuts!"

Chu Feng’s voice was full of authority as he shouted, his words rolling like thunder.

After he finished speaking, some time passed.

There was some commotion among the garrison atop the city walls of Medicine King City, and then a path was cleared.

Dressed in a Dragon Robe, Ma Quanzi appeared on the city walls.

He glared down at Chu Feng below.

"Who exactly are you?" His first sentence was to question Chu Feng’s identity.

Because Chu Feng seemed to have emerged out of nowhere overnight. Moreover, he was exceptionally strong, terrifyingly powerful.

In less than a month, nearly ninety percent of Dan State’s territory had fallen into Chu Feng’s control.

"I am the Grand Marshal of the Northern Beixie Empire! And who might you be?" Chu Feng finally met Ma Quanzi, the traitor. Intense killing intent burst forth from him.

Behind Ma Quanzi, four specially formidable experts followed.

Each one with an indifferent expression, among them were two familiar faces.

Apart from Xuanyuan Wudi, there was another person, even more powerful, one of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s Four Great Divine Generals. This person was known as Ten Thousand People Slaughter, Zhang Heizi.

Previously, Chu Feng did not know how strong Zhang Heizi’s cultivation really was.

Last time in Hell Valley while competing for the treasure tree, it became known that the Divine Generals are essentially powerful beings at the Nine-star Sword God Level.

Even if occasionally one or two don’t possess such high cultivation, their combat prowess is by no means inferior to a Nine-star Sword God.

The Princess of Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country once recruited Chu Feng.

It is known that Chu Feng merely possesses the cultivation of a Late-stage Sword Saint.

It can be seen that the standard for becoming a Divine General is not fixed and can be flexibly adjusted. There is only one criterion that will never change.

They must be powerful in battle.

"What a sharp tongue! Let that treacherous and fickle Beixie Emperor come out and face me immediately!" Ma Quanzi said with a face full of hatred.

He betrayed Chu Feng to gain benefits.

Now that the Beixie Emperor has betrayed him, he understands the bitter taste of being betrayed.

"As long as you dare to lead your troops to battle me personally, you will certainly get to see our Emperor!" Chu Feng’s voice was hoarse and deep, which was deliberate.

To prevent Ma Quanzi from recognizing his voice.

"Since you wish for death, this Emperor shall grant it to you!" Ma Quanzi, having sought reinforcements from Panlong Heavenly Country, like Xuanyuan Wudi and even a Divine General, was full of confidence.

He was not afraid of Chu Feng.

"Open the city gates! This Emperor will lead the charge personally to quell the rebellion!" Ma Quanzi roared angrily.

The gates of Medicine King City really did open slowly, with Ma Quanzi leading his troops out from within the city.

Chu Feng stood in front of the formation, coldly watching Ma Quanzi.

He did not rush to make a move, worrying that Ma Quanzi would flee back into the city. Intentionally showing weakness, he waited for Ma Quanzi to come forth and court death.

As for Xuanyuan Wudi, he might have been a formidable opponent in the past.

But now, he was nothing more than an ant.

Although Zhang Heizi was formidable, Chu Feng had the support of the Hundred-Eyed Evil Spirit King, and combined with his own strength and that of Yan Qing, killing him should be no problem.

When Ma Quanzi and Chu Feng were about four to five hundred meters apart, he stopped.

Turning around, he cupped his fists and said, "I implore Divine General Zhang to slay the enemy Marshal! It is this person, the one who last time killed the Nine Sword God Envoys of Panlong Heavenly Kingdom." Ma Quanzi was also clever, aware of Chu Feng’s capabilities; he was the soul of the Beixie Emperor’s Army.

As long as Chu Feng was slain, the enemy forces would naturally fall into disarray.

His troops could then take advantage and launch a beautiful counterattack.

"To kill one of Sword Saint Level is as easy as flipping one’s hand!"

Zhang Heizi, with his absolute strength, known as Ten Thousand People Slaughter, was mighty and unparalleled.

Even though he had heard Chu Feng was extremely formidable, he didn’t take Chu Feng seriously at all.

"Yan Qing, join forces with me to slay Zhang Heizi first," Chu Feng’s powerful Divine Sense swept across, having already ascertained that only Zhang Heizi was a formidable enemy. Other strong adversaries were not worth fearing.

"Slaughter Heaven Sword Skill, annihilate the world!"

When Zhang Heizi made his move, it was indeed extraordinary. Waves of sword light, filled with wild and destructive force, aimed at Chu Feng.

Even without the actual exchange of blows, Chu Feng could confirm that these sword lights must possess terrifying power.

It should be of the same category as Han Xiaoying’s Seven Killings Sword Skill.

Both rooted in the principle of slaughter, they annihilate and are ferociously destructive.

"Mokeboer, make your move!" Chu Feng commanded.

The special skill of the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King was its newly awakened Demon Eye Soul Diamond. He immediately performed a soul diamond attack, shooting towards Zhang Heizi.

Who knew that Zhang Heizi’s neck was adorned with a black gemstone necklace.

It turned out to be a magical treasure.

It emitted a dark light, surprisingly blocking the soul diamond attack.
