My son is about to break through.

Chinese military camp.

There was a middle-aged man sitting on the main seat. He was wearing a brocade robe, with a straight nose and a face as sharp as a knife, but he still looked heroic, calm and majestic. His eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see through people's hearts.

The other party is the current Spirit King.

below.

Now it happens that my subordinates are reporting the news about Qingyun Prefecture.

"Reporting to King Ling, the spies have reported that King Guangyang has assembled an army of two million in Taishan County, and the momentum is huge!"

"Two million troops..."

King Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was not much tension on his face.

According to his understanding, the army under the command of King Guangyang had at most three million troops, and the four counties of Qingyun Prefecture must have a large army garrisoned there. Therefore, the other party's ability to mobilize two million troops was completely expected by King Ling.

Such a force is actually considered quite strong among the many princes in the past.

After all, it is not easy to mobilize two million troops at once.

But it's different now.

The strong men from Taisu Sect took action.

The princes from all sides were almost wiped out in Zhongzhou.

King Ling took advantage of this opportunity to swallow up all the remaining forces of these princes. Now the number of troops under his command has increased dramatically, and this time he attacked Qingyun Province, he personally led an army of five million.

Under such overwhelming military power, the Spirit King could only say that the advantage was his.

but.

He looked at the people below and asked in a deep voice, "Did the Martial Saint make any moves?"

"According to the news, the Martial Saint has already left Gujiazhuang."

"Okay, keep investigating and report back!"

King Ling waved his hand, and the man immediately retreated respectfully.

Subsequently.

King Ling looked at the person sitting beside him, his expression becoming more awed: "Grand Elder, if nothing unexpected happens, the Martial Saint behind King Guangyang will also take action himself. I'm afraid that such a strong man will have to rely on you to come forward and deal with him!"

He himself is a true disciple of Taisu Sect, so he respectfully addresses Fu Zhao as the Supreme Elder.

Hear the words.

Fu Zhao opened his eyes, and a hint of blood seemed to appear, then quickly disappeared.

“Don’t worry, how can a mere warrior turn the world upside down? Not to mention a so-called Martial Saint, even if the Martial Ancestor from ten thousand years ago is reborn, I can still kill him!”

at this point.

Fu Zhao has absolute confidence.

Millions of lives were killed in Zhongzhou, including many masters and strong men in the realm of integration of gods. The large amount of blood and energy of these lives not only stabilized Fu Zhao's realm, but also allowed him to take a step forward and directly break through to the middle level of the realm of integration of gods.

For a strong person in the spiritual realm, a small breakthrough in level is a significant change in strength.

Compared to when he first entered the spiritual realm, Fu Zhao is undoubtedly stronger now.

In his opinion.

There were no surprises in the battle of Qingyun Province.

When Taisu Sect controls Jiuzhou, all creatures in Jiuzhou will become its blood food.

that time.

Fu Zhao can use this opportunity to go one step further, break the limits of the spiritual realm, and step into a realm that no sorcerer has ever been able to set foot in.

The thought of this.

Fu Zhao was also a little excited.

It is said that sorcerers are expected to live forever.

But even those in the spiritual realm can only live for five thousand years.

But if one could break through the barrier of the divine realm, perhaps one would be able to truly glimpse the mystery of immortality.

the other side.

When King Ling received Fu Zhao's affirmative answer, his fear of Gu Qingfeng also dissipated a lot.

Subsequently.

He directly gave the order to send the army to march towards Taishan County.

……

Taishan County.

Datong Mansion.

Tianxiong Pass.

Today, the battle flags are flying here, and millions of troops are stationed here. A silent and murderous atmosphere permeates the air, making people feel inexplicably depressed.

Standing on the tall and majestic city wall, Gu Qingfeng looked forward and saw that outside Tianxiong Pass was a plain. On one side of the plain was a big river, and on the other side was a vast and dense forest.

beside him.

Gu Yun served on one side.

"Tianxiong Pass is the gateway to the entire Datong Prefecture and a vital place in Taishan County. The river on the right is called Yulong River. It is said that a real dragon appeared there in ancient times, so it got its name.

The river is swift and wide, so even with warships it would be difficult to cross safely.

On the left is the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, which is home to numerous poisonous insects. Legend has it that there are some powerful and ferocious beasts with terrifying strength. Even a master who enters may not be able to walk out safely.

Moreover, the Ancient Beast Mountain Range is extremely vast, spanning several states.

Therefore, if the Spirit King's army really arrives, they will have to attack Tianxiong Pass head-on. As for bypassing the Ancient Beast Mountain Range and crossing the Yulong River, both are unrealistic. "

Gu Yun opened his mouth slowly and told some of the things he knew.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the rolling river water, as if there was a real dragon in the water stirring up the wind and clouds.

"In ancient times, could it be that a real dragon really appeared here?"

“The story of real dragons is purely a rumor. No one knows whether there are real dragons or not. After all, there are more than ten thousand years between the ancient times and today.

Over such a long period of time, many things are covered up in the long river of time.

But in my opinion, the real dragon, which only exists in the storybooks, should be a fabrication of later generations!"

Gu Yun shook his head.

his words.

Gu Qingfeng remained noncommittal.

However, as Gu Yun said, things from the ancient times can be traced back to thousands of years ago, and it is impossible to verify whether they are true or false.

As for the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, Gu Qingfeng knew a little about it.

This is an ancient mountain range that spans across several states. It is filled with dangers and there are rumors that there are ferocious beasts so powerful that even the Grandmasters have difficulty fighting them.

And then.

Even the numerous strange and poisonous insects are daunting.

The imperial courts of all dynasties have always attached great importance to the Ancient Beast Mountain Range. Occasionally, some powerful and ferocious beasts would rush out from it to cause trouble, and the impact they brought was not small.

and so.

Whether it is the Yulong River or the Ancient Beast Mountains, they are both natural barriers.

It is precisely because of these barriers that the location of Tianxiong Pass becomes particularly important.

……

Ever since Gu Yang led the army into Tianxiong Pass, spies came to report almost every half hour.

"Your Majesty, King Ling is personally leading an army of five million and is heading towards Taishan County!"

"Your Majesty, the Ling King's army is only 500 miles away from Tianxiong Pass!"

"Your Majesty, the Ling King's army is only three hundred miles away from Tianxiong Pass!"

"Your Majesty, the Ling King's army is only a hundred miles away from Tianxiong Pass!"

As messages came one after another, Gu Yang looked outside Tianxiong Pass with a solemn expression.

When things came to this point, he naturally knew that this battle was not only related to the survival of Qingyun Province, but also to the future pattern of Jiuzhou.

If I can win this battle, then Jiuzhou will no longer have the possibility to stop me.

same.

If I lose.

Then everything will be over.

"Order all troops to prepare!"

Gu Yang gave the order in a deep voice.

There are now two million troops stationed in Tianxiong Pass, which is the entire Qingyun Province's strength.

As word spreads.

Everyone felt heavy-hearted.

The huge Tianxiong Pass gives a feeling that a storm is about to come.

And on the other side.

The army of King Ling also advanced.

In the central army, King Ling rode his horse, and beside him were many powerful men under his command, as well as top masters of the Tai Su Sect such as Fu Zhao.

This battle.

Not only Fu Zhao came from Tai Su Sect, but most of the strong men from other sects also arrived, including the Sect's leader, Master Tai Xuan.

After all, this battle is related to whether Taisu Sect can dominate the world. Even with Fu Zhao, a powerful master in the spiritual realm, in charge, Master Taixuan must be fully prepared.

……

Most of the day later.

Tianxiong Pass is in sight.

The silence of millions of troops gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Tianxiong Pass is also guarded by a large army.

"That's the Spirit King!"

Gu Yang looked at the army below, his eyes fixed directly on one of them. For a warrior, he could see clearly even from a distance.

As Gu Yang looked over, the Spirit King also looked at him. The two men's eyes met, and murderous auras collided.

"Siege!"

King Ling waved his hand and gave the order directly.

Immediately.

The army attacked the city.

The front row of infantrymen advanced steadily, while the archers in the rear were already shooting a rain of arrows, densely covering Tianxiong Pass.

When Gu Yang saw this, his expression turned cold.

"Fire arrows!"

At his command, the defenders of Tianxiong Pass responded.

In an instant.

Arrows rained down from both sides, and blood flowers bloomed on the battlefield.

Occasionally, an arrow would fly towards him, but Gu Yang would easily break it.

Less than a moment.

The enemy troops have arrived at the city.

Many warriors were confused and suddenly launched a fierce attack on the city gate. Even though the city gate was made of fine iron, it could not withstand the attack of top warriors.

A full-strength attack from a master can destroy mountains and break peaks. Even if a city gate is strong, it is difficult to withstand the power of the master.

and so.

In almost a moment, the city gate was broken open.

"Your Majesty, the city gate has been breached!"

A messenger came hurriedly to report.

Gu Yang looked calm: "Everything is going according to plan!"

He had never thought of relying on Tianxiong Pass to defend against the Ling King's army.

After all, in a world like this where people possess extraordinary powers, wars often become much more brutal. The city gates may be strong, but they cannot stop the powerful masters.

When the infantry approach, even if there really is a master mixed in among them, no one will be able to detect it.

therefore.

Once the Grandmaster gets close to the city, it is normal for him to directly attack and break the city.

All of this was within Gu Yang's expectations.

and so.

Even if the city gate was broken.

Gu Yang was also not worried at all.

as predicted.

The moment the city gate was broken, a terrifying force of energy and blood burst out, and the condensed sword energy cut through the air, leaving a master of the enemy army with no time to react before he was cut in half by the sword.

The body exploded.

Flesh and blood splattered.

Shi Zhen rushed out on horseback, the crescent-shaped sword in his hand sweeping across all directions. For a great Qi and Blood Master to lead the charge was a fatal blow to ordinary soldiers. Behind him, the Tiangang Army followed closely.

Shi Zhen took the lead and led 36,000 Tiangang troops, like a sharp knife, stabbing into the enemy army fiercely and tearing apart the enemy's infantry vanguard.

Followed by.

Other generals have already led their armies to charge closely behind him.

As soon as the two armies met, they started fighting head-on.

"kill!"

Shi Zhen roared, his blood boiling, and he swung his crescent-shaped sword, slashing out, splitting any soldier it touched in half.

"Thieves should stop being so arrogant!"

In the army of King Ling, a general rushed forward, and his powerful true energy burst out, condensing into a terrifying sword force that chopped down towards Shi Zhen.

The latter saw this scene without any fear, but murderous intent surged in his eyes.

"kill--"

The words fell.

The crescent blade came down with the force of splitting a mountain. The two forces collided. Although both were masters, the master of Qi and blood was ultimately superior.

The Qi sword energy was broken, and the man's face changed. He hurriedly raised his sword to block. The powerful force shook his arms, causing them to tremble violently, and his knuckles also cracked.

He was injured in the first encounter, which made the innate master terrified.

"Follow me to kill the Tiangang Army!"

Shi Zhen shouted angrily, and there seemed to be a terrifying bloody aura rising from the Tiangang Army and flowing into him.

that moment.

Shi Zhen's power increased greatly.

The crescent-shaped blade chopped down again, and the ferocious blood-red blade energy seemed to cut through the void of heaven and earth. The innate master was terrified and wanted to resist but it was of no use.

"Tear!"

The body was split in half, and an innate master died instantly.

"Master of Qi and Blood!"

In the army, Master Taixuan witnessed Shi Zhen condensing bloody evil energy and directly killing an innate master, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light.

next interest.

He took a step into the air, and the power of a top-level Huasheng realm expert burst out, rushing towards Shi Zhen to kill him.

For a strong man at the level of Taixuan Master, the flesh and blood of ordinary people can hardly play a big role. Even if he kills 100,000 people, it is not as practical as killing a master of Qi and blood.

Although there are some masters in the world, masters of qi and blood are rare.

Now that he had met a great master of Qi and blood in person, Master Taixuan naturally felt a little restless.

"not good!"

Seeing Master Taixuan coming to kill him, a terrible pressure suddenly came over him, making Shi Zhen look solemn. He mobilized the power of the Tiangang Army again. The terrifying bloody aura condensed into the shadow of a peerless demon god in the void.

finally.

The shadow of this demon merged with Shi Zhen.

Followed by.

The crescent-shaped sword chopped down.

The terrifying sword energy cut through the heaven and earth, as if splitting the sky in half. Such a terrifying blow collided with Master Taixuan's attack, and suddenly a wave of devastating destruction broke out.

"Boom!"

The bloody sword energy shattered.

The shadow of the demon dissipated.

Shi Zhen only felt a powerful recoil force overwhelming him, causing his blood to surge and a fishy-sweet taste rising up in his throat.

"A warlock in the realm of transformation!"

He looked towards Master Tai Xuan with a solemn look in his eyes.

Shi Zhen was well aware of the power of the Tiangang Divine Demon Formation.

But now, after just one encounter, the formation was completely broken by Master Taixuan. It can be seen that the strength of such a strong man is definitely not something he can contend with.

But even so, Shi Zhen did not retreat.

"You are very good. You were able to block my attack, but that's all."

Master Taixuan looked a little surprised, and was a little bit surprised that Shi Zhen could block his attack. Then he didn't waste any words and planned to kill the opponent on the spot.

however.

Just when Master Taixuan was about to take action, suddenly a terrifying sword intent arose, and infinite sword energy suddenly bombarded him, causing the former to suddenly feel a sense of alarm in his heart, and he could only turn around to resist.

"boom--"

A collision of forces.

Master Taixuan's body remained motionless.

When he saw the person coming, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Kendo man!"

"I have long heard that the Taisu Sect's leader has great cultivation skills. Today, I am here to learn from him."

The swordsman came with a sword on his back, and a powerful inner energy emerged, allowing him to fly in the air.

Upon hearing this, Master Taixuan sneered, "Do you really think that just because you have achieved the status of a martial arts grandmaster, you are qualified to act so presumptuous in front of me?"

"Whether you are qualified or not, you will only know after the fight!"

When the swordsman finished speaking, the iron sword behind him suddenly came out of its sheath. He held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and when the sword was swung out, a terrifying sword energy came out like a rainbow piercing the sun, rushing straight towards Master Taixuan's face.

Upon seeing this, the latter's spiritual power surged in his body. He stretched out his five fingers and squeezed hard, shattering the sword energy.

Followed by.

Master Taixuan took a step forward and instantly appeared behind the swordsman. He struck him with a palm strike. The latter seemed to have sensed it and took a step forward, sweeping out with the tip of his iron sword.

Both of them are powerful men in the world.

As soon as they met, they fought dozens of times.

……

Tianxiong Pass.

Gu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, watching the fighting on the battlefield below with a calm look.

When he saw Shi Zhen controlling the power of blood evil and being able to fight Master Tai Xuan head-on, his expression was somewhat moved.

"Is this the Tiangang Divine Demon Formation?"

Gu Qingfeng was well aware of Gu Yang's secret formation of the Tiangang Army and practice of the Tiangang Divine Demon Formation.

However, he had never actually seen this kind of formation.

Until now.

In today's battlefield.

Only then did Gu Qingfeng truly witness the power of the so-called Tiangang Divine Demon Formation.

Shi Zhen had just entered the Qi and Blood Grandmaster realm. Even with the assistance of the Tiangang Army, he was just a bigger ant in the eyes of the Huasheng realm masters.

Now that the opponent can withstand Master Taixuan's attack, it shows how powerful the formation is.

"Father, do you think Senior Jian can be a match for Master Taixuan?"

Gu Yang looked solemn.

Even though the swordsman is a great master of martial arts, his opponent is the leader of the Taisu Sect, so he can't help but worry.

After all, the sword master has often given him guidance on martial arts over the years, so he can be considered half a master.

Gu Qingfeng said: "Master Taixuan is at the top of the Huasheng realm, so his cultivation is naturally stronger than that of the swordsman, but a fight between strong men is not just about cultivation.

The strength of a kendo practitioner is not as simple as you see.

Although if it really comes to a life-and-death fight, the swordsman is likely to die in the end, but it is not so easy for Master Taixuan to really kill him! "

It would take a long time for the two to decide the winner, and it would be even more difficult to decide who would live or die.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the Spirit King’s army again.

There.

There was a strange and cold aura in the air, which was much more terrifying than the evil spirit in Xueshan Mansion.

"Fu Zhao!"

Gu Qingfeng knew that this kind of aura must come from the supreme elder of Taisu Sect.

"It is said that this person is a newly promoted Divine Realm, but now it seems that he is not as simple as the rumors say."

"Is father sure?"

Gu Qingfeng's words made Gu Yang's expression change.

Gu Qingfeng put his hands behind his back, his expression still calm: "Fu Zhao slaughtered tens of millions of lives in Zhongzhou, and countless masters fell at his hands. It is normal for his strength to have a breakthrough.

But even if Fu Zhao breaks through, it won’t cause any waves.”

Just as Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, King Ling looked at the fighting on the battlefield with a rather unhappy expression.

He thought that if he personally led millions of troops, he should be able to crush the Guangyang army with a crushing momentum.

But now look.

Although the fighting between the two sides was fierce, neither side was able to gain any advantage.

This goes on.

Even if we can win, it will probably be a pyrrhic victory.

Thinking of this, King Ling looked at Fu Zhao on the side and said respectfully: "The Guangyang army is resisting fiercely. Please ask the Supreme Elder to help our army break the formation and kill the enemy!"

"Well, it's time for me to move around a bit."

Fu Zhao smiled slightly, and blood color appeared in the depths of his eyes again.

Subsequently.

Fu Zhao took a step into the air and directly entered the battlefield.

Followed by.

The breath on his body exploded.

A terrifying evil shadow condensed from the void.

Such powerful pressure caused countless soldiers' bodies to explode and they were killed on the spot in an instant.

"You ants dare to get in the way of my Taisu Sect. You are courting death!"

Fu Zhao looked towards the direction of the city wall, raised his hand and slammed out with a palm. The terrifying force was like the collapse of heaven and earth, making it difficult for Gu Yang to breathe.

however.

Before the palm strike actually landed, Gu Qingfeng pointed his finger out, and a blood-red blade light cut through the stars, directly splitting the palm formed by spiritual power into two halves.

"boom--"

The aftermath of the terrifying force dissipated.

Fu Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person on the city wall.

"You are Gu Qingfeng!"

Although the previous attack was just a casual one, Fu Zhao felt a little heavy-hearted when he saw that Gu Qingfeng was able to take it so easily.

Just as the rumors said, the opponent's strength has broken the limit of a martial arts grandmaster and is comparable to the Martial Ancestor from ten thousand years ago.

now.

Gu Qingfeng also took a step into the air.

"After I kill you, I believe no one in the world can stop the Guangyang Army!"

"kill me?"

Fu Zhao sneered as if he had heard a joke.

“Do you really think that just because you blocked my attack, you have the right to act so arrogantly in front of me?”

“Don’t even mention it’s you. Even if it’s the former Martial Ancestor who has been reborn, I can kill him today!”

"After I kill you, I will refine your blood and energy, and maybe I can go a step further—"

The words fell.

A terrifying aura burst out from Fu Zhao's body, and there was a terrifying force suppressing the void. Gu Qingfeng only felt a huge pressure coming from the space, causing his body to sink slightly.

"restricted area!"

Gu Qingfeng's expression was slightly raised.

Seeing that Gu Qingfeng did not move, Fu Zhao sneered: "In this restricted area, I am the real god. It is your lifetime honor to die here!"

Immediately.

Fu Zhao blasted out with a palm. In his opinion, Gu Qingfeng was now suppressed by the power of the restricted area and could not be his opponent at all.

This palm strike was different from the previous ones. It was Fu Zhao's true full-strength attack.

at this time.

An extremely powerful sword intent suddenly erupted, and the space shattered into pieces. The so-called power of the forbidden area was torn apart by the sword intent at this moment.

Not only that.

A force more terrifying than the restricted area spread out, and fell in the opposite direction to suppress Fu Zhao. The force of the full-strength attack had not yet really touched Gu Qingfeng, and was completely crushed by the infinite sword energy. (End of this chapter)
