Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"Boring, disappointing."

Nanfeng Bujing, with his hands behind his back, descended the mountain along the treacherous path he had taken on the icy road.

The soldiers of Tianliang Temple guarding the mountain pass were powerless to stop it. The south wind continued to blow through the area, and those who could not escape in time were killed one after another.

The fire on the main mountain and the ambush on the right resulted in heavy casualties at both locations, leaving only the battle on the back mountain still ongoing.

Luo Hou stood at the highest point of Blood Raven Mountain, watching the dying struggle of the Marquis of Shidao, and waiting for someone to arrive.

Chapter 79 First Battle: Military Commander

Behind Blood Raven Mountain, Taijun Zhi and his two companions surrounded Shidao Hou but did not kill him.

Wang Ye and Yao Xing, the two concubines, are still in the hands of the old military leader. Taijun Zhi hopes to capture Shi Dao Hou alive and exchange him for the two concubines.

The Raven Soul Sleeve Sword moved as nimbly as a snake, and its swords never missed the vital points of the Slaughtering Dao Marquis. Although it did not kill the Slaughtering Dao Marquis, it still cut many wounds on his body.

After a prolonged and unfavorable battle, the Marquis of Shidao unleashed another ultimate move: "Nine Elements Return to One - God-Slaying Spear!"

He took a blow from the crow's sword, and his divine spear pierced straight into Taijun Zhi's chest.

Bah!

The sword, made of ordinary material, was shattered by the divine spear and scattered in all directions.

For the sake of the overall situation, Taijunzhi had always reserved three-tenths of her strength. Seeing that Shidaohou was unwilling to be captured, she became anxious and stopped blocking his Yuan Gong.

"Mountains respond, seas call, heaven and earth bear witness, the whole world is united!"

In an instant, the palm aided the sword's momentum, the sword carried the palm's intent, and the sword and palm became one, transforming into an astonishing force that blasted towards the Marquis of Shidao.

Taijun Zhi and Shidao Hou were originally of similar standing.

Having been surrounded by the three for a long time, Shi Daohou's internal energy was already weakened. In addition, he had multiple minor injuries and was bleeding profusely. Now, after taking Taijun Zhi's ultimate move, he was so exhausted that he knelt down.

puff~

A jet of blood splattered.

The Raven Soul Sleeve Blade silently pressed against him, piercing the back of the Marquis of Slaughter.

"what!"

The Marquis of Shidao cried out in agony and finally collapsed to the ground.

Taijun Zhi collected the Yuan Gong and weapons, and lifted up the Shi Dao Hou: "Let's go to Po Jun Mansion immediately to exchange people."

Suddenly, a powerful palm strike flew in from the sky, knocking Taijunzhi and the other two men back, causing them to vomit blood.

The Japanese officer was the first to be hit, and his sternum immediately broke.

"Uh... it's the military governor!"

Ye Shibing strode down the mountain path: "You can't go anywhere."

Seeing the military commander arrive, the Marquis of Shidao cried out in hope, "Military commander, save me!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Shibing coldly replied, "If I were to intervene, you would lose your value."

"The military governor?"

Despite the pain of her broken bones, Taijun Zhi threatened Shidao Hou: "Commander, if you want the Heavenly Palace Master to be safe, you must exchange him for two Sihuan."

“What use is there in keeping a useless person alive? You kill him, and I will kill you to avenge him.”

"this?"

Taijun Zhi had not expected the old military leader to be so ruthless, and was momentarily stunned.

Seizing the opportunity when Taijunzhi was distracted, Ye Shibingquan struck out with another palm: "Nine-bend Yellow River, Ten Thousand Miles of Sand!"

This palm strike was the eighth level of the Du Ri Wu Dian's ultimate move, and with Tai Junzhi and the other two already injured, they could not escape it.

Unexpectedly, another palm strike came from the sky, blocking Ye Shibing's unparalleled move.

boom!

When their palms met, Ye Shibingquan was forced to take several steps back.

"My feet tread out of the flames of war, my hands grasp destruction, my name is Rahu."

With a powerful and resonant chant, a golden figure appeared from the highest peak of Blood Raven Mountain in an instant, landing in front of the military commander.

"Luo Hou! How could it be you?"

"Ye Shibing, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The two powers finally met.

"Luo Hou, why do you keep interfering in the affairs of the Gathering Realm?"

"Ye Shi Bing Quan, your covetousness of the Bitter Realm is common knowledge."

"My military power will bring glory to the world!"

"Then prove to me that your strength matches your ambition."

Luo Hou waved his hand behind him, and Tai Junzhi and the other two escorted Shi Daohou away quickly.

Blood Raven Mountain fell into an eerie silence, with only mist drifting by.

This is a battle that must be decided.

Luo Hou said arrogantly, "I will give you three moves if you win, and I will never enter the Ji Realm again."

Ye Shibing laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, Luo Hou, you will pay the price for underestimating me! You win, I will release the prisoners!"

"let's start."

Luo Hou stood quietly with his hands behind his back.

A cold, bloodthirsty glint flashed in Ye Shibing's eyes, and then he activated the Hao Cang Profound Technique.

"Unrivaled Might, Kill!"

The saber was suddenly drawn, slicing through the stars and moon in the sky, piercing through the peaks and mountains of the human world, and slashing menacingly towards Luo Hou.

Not only that, with the violent sword energy, Ye Shibingquan's figure flashed in front of Luo Hou in an instant and unleashed another palm strike.

The swords flashed, displaying military might; their might resounded across the vast wilderness.

With a powerful palm strike, it could upside down the heavens and earth.

Both the sword and the palm strike were close-range attacks, and they all landed on Luo Hou.

Seeing that Luo Hou truly did not dodge or avoid, Ye Shibingquan's expression became even more sinister.

Bang.

Bang.

The sword energy and palm strikes combined to hit Luo Hou, producing a deafening roar.

The moment Ye Shibingquan made contact with Luo Hou, Hao Cang Xuan Jue absorbed Luo Hou's true essence like a whale drawing water.

Luo Hou seemed oblivious, letting Ye Shibing do as he pleased: "There's one more move, let's continue."

Ye Shibing was secretly overjoyed. He left his sword and palm on Luo Hou's body and sucked in again.

I never imagined that Luo Hou's true essence was so abundant.

"The final move, die!"

Just as Ye Shibingquan's military saber flashed and slashed towards Luo Hou's head, suddenly, his internal energy exploded.

The Luo Hou True Essence absorbed into Ye Shibingquan's body took over, rushing into Ye Shibingquan's dantian and mixing with his original internal energy.

"what!"

A tearing pain shot through him, and Ye Shibing's inner energy boiled and surged everywhere, as scorching as an erupting volcano and as turbulent as a bursting dam.

The internal energy quickly spread through the dantian, rushing and surging wildly through the internal organs.

Where internal energy surges, tendons and veins are damaged, internal organs are shattered, and the spirit and soul feel as if they are about to break apart.

"Ah! Your true essence! What's going on?"

Ye Shibingquan clutched his abdomen and wailed.

"Hmm? My true essence?"

Luo Hou originally wanted to make him admit defeat wholeheartedly, so that he could release Wang Ye and Yao Xing, the two priestesses, and repair the rift in the Jijing as soon as possible.

Who would have thought that Ye Shibing would use his military power to drain his true essence?

I never imagined that my true energy entering someone else's body would cause such enormous destruction.

What a surprise.

"Luo Hou, bring me the antidote, and I'll release him!"

Ye Shibing's situation is extremely bad. In a little while, the mutation brought about by his true essence may burst his body.

To make matters worse, Rahu has no antidote...

“Absorb your true essence back.”

"late."

"Luo Hou! I surrender... save me!"

The arrogant military commander's admission of defeat was truly unexpected for Luo Hou, but unfortunately, he was powerless to help him.

"Perhaps the three priestesses of Taiyin can save you."

"Take me back to the Broken Army Mansion, quickly... ah~"

Ye Shibing roared to the sky, spewing out black, silver, and gold gas from his mouth, which looked especially terrifying under the moonlight.

Luo Hou picked him up with one hand and flew swiftly towards Po Jun Mansion.

A moment later, Chiba Legend led his men out to greet them. They saw Luo Hou holding the military commander standing outside the mansion, while the military commander kept tearing at his military robe and spewing strange energy into the sky.

Chiba Legend watched this scene in shock.

"What's going on, Commander?"
