Fearing being killed for his overwhelming merits, the empress decided to marry him.

"what is that?"

Da da da da…

puff puff puff...

The moment the tanks equipped with Gatling guns appeared on the battlefield, the Shushan Sword Sect disciples at the forefront all showed confused expressions.

Before they could figure out what these things were, the twelve Gatling guns, with seven tubes resembling bodhisattvas, all spewed out blazing tongues of fire as the Jin soldiers vigorously shook them.

A dense hail of bullets formed a network of fire, creating a death zone within a 200-meter radius ahead.

Blood mist rose from the bodies of the twenty warriors at the forefront of the void, and they fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

boom--

At the same time, the rapidly advancing armored cavalry mercilessly crashed into the disciples who had just landed.

In an instant, these disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, who prided themselves on their superior cultivation, were all swept into the air by the rushing waves, their internal organs shattered.

"No~"

A disciple of the Sword Sect was shot through the thigh and fell to the ground. As soon as he looked up, he saw a giant steel beast slowly approaching him.

As the cavalryman on horseback slowly lowered his thick lance, the cold blade pointing directly at him, the disciple let out a desperate roar and immediately rose to his feet to flee.

Unfortunately, his thigh was already injured, and he stumbled and fell to the ground again after only a couple of steps after getting up.

next moment……

puff-

The sharp spear showed no mercy, piercing straight through his back, the black shaft quickly emerging from his chest through the blade.

"Hey~"

The cavalryman on horseback uttered a single, cold word from the grinning mouth of the Yaksha mask.

"Uh, pfft..."

The next moment, the Sword Sect disciple coughed up a mouthful of blood and was lifted off the ground by the spear that pierced through him. He rushed forward for a distance before being thrown heavily to the side of the battlefield road.

Until his death, his eyes remained wide open, his expression one of agony.

It was as if they couldn't believe that their years of hard work had ultimately led to such a ridiculous result.

Da da da--

The Gatling gun fire continued.

The warriors leaping through the void kept falling, only to be quickly swept away by the rushing waves.

Their appearance had absolutely no impact on the battle; under the combined crushing force of machine guns and heavy cavalry, they were quickly reduced to a pool of blood and gore.

In just a quarter of an hour, more than half of the Sword Sect disciples were lost. Faced with the Jin soldiers' rapid and fierce attacks, their proud skills were completely ineffective.

Several disciples worked together to activate their protective energy, trying to block the flying bullets.

Unfortunately, under the intense and continuous firepower, they only survived a few moments longer than their fellow disciples.

As Wanyan Zongbi watched the warriors fall one after another in front of him, he couldn't help but let out a contemptuous snort.

"Is the Song Kingdom truly beyond saving? Do they really think they can turn the tide with just a few warriors?"

"The battlefield is not a martial arts world. No one will fight you one-on-one. What use is such a chaotic offensive, other than boosting the morale of my Great Jin soldiers?"

After a cold laugh, Wanyan Zongbi spurred his horse forward and raised his arm.

"roar~"

The cavalry flanking from both sides gradually encircled the Sword Sect disciples.

At this moment, Li Wan'er and Ouyang Xuanyi finally regained consciousness.

Watching their former fellow disciples die one by one before their eyes, the two felt an indescribable chill emanating from their bodies.

"woman!"

Just as the two stood on the battlefield at a loss, a wolf howl suddenly came from the cavalry.

The next moment, a cavalry unit of twenty men slowly approached them.

"Senior sister, what should we do now?"

Li Wan'er was already terrified, her face pale, and her body trembled as she faced the approaching Jin cavalry.

Ouyang Xuanyi had no idea what to do. All she saw was her fellow disciples falling one by one into pools of blood, meaninglessly under the double attack of machine guns and cavalry.

The current situation was something she had never anticipated.

Just as they hesitated, the armored cavalry had already surrounded them.

Li Wan'er and Ouyang Xuanyi both drew their swords and held them across their chests to protect themselves.

In fact, with their cultivation at the Innate Realm, let alone these twenty heavily armored cavalrymen, even if there were twenty more, they wouldn't be enough to kill them.

But the tragic death of their companion completely overturned the concept of "martial arts are supreme" that they had been taught since childhood.

When faced with these untrained cavalrymen, his only thought was whether he would also become mud under the iron hooves, losing all fighting spirit.

"No...don't come any closer..."

Li Wan'er warned them in a trembling voice.

"I am a member of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. My master is... no, she is at the Great Perfection of the Immortal Realm. If... if you were to harm even a hair on my head, she... she would never let you off..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

These ruthless Ironclad Cavalrymen didn't take Li Wan'er's threat seriously at all; instead, they burst into mocking laughter.

"I never imagined that the State of Song would be so pathetic as to send a woman to the battlefield?"

"Hehe, how many shameless things has the Song Kingdom done? I heard that when their retired emperor was in power, he even did it with a stone in the back garden. I really don't find these things surprising at all."

"Such a strange story exists, not even sparing stones. He's truly ruthless; I can only admire his ruthlessness."

"Look, these two girls are quite pretty."

"Yeah, that's really good. If we catch him, the brothers will all be in luck."

"I want them to bear the children of my Great Golden Warrior."

"Hey hey hey..."

With the battlefield situation settled, these Ironclad Warriors began to toy with the last two warriors.

Ouyang Xuanyi and Li Wan'er stood back to back, both watching the Ironclad Pagoda with vigilance.

Suddenly, a string of bloody human heads was thrown in front of the two women.

"Yeah~"

The two women screamed at the same time, almost jumping up on the spot.

"Hahaha……"

This scene caused the Jin soldiers to burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"besides……"

Immediately afterwards, one human head after another was thrown in front of the two women.

Their heads were contorted in grotesque disfigurement, and their deaths were gruesome; they were all disciples of the Sword Sect who had recently died.

"what……"

The two women collapsed instantly, falling to the ground, their faces pale with fright.

This scene caused the Ironclad Cavalry to burst into laughter.

"What are you doing!"

At this moment, the battle had ended, and seeing that there was still no response, Wanyan Zongbi personally came to the front of the battle.

The cavalry, who had been joking around, immediately formed ranks and made way for Wanyan Zongbi upon seeing him.

Upon seeing that the people surrounding them were two women, Wanyan Zongbi frowned and said, "They are enemies too."

The cavalry centurion immediately replied, "Yes, they said they were also disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect."

"Disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect actually came to the Song Kingdom to die? Humph."

Wanyan Zongbi sneered, pulled on the reins, and spurred his horse forward.

"You are from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect?"

Li Wan'er was so frightened that she didn't know how to respond at all; only Ouyang Xuanyi still had a shred of rationality.

When someone asked, she looked up and said, "We are disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect. Please let us go."

Wanyan Zongbi was surprised that there were still such naive people. He just sneered and said, "I can let you go, but only after this war is over. Now, you are my prisoners."

Ouyang Xuanyi: "Are you really going to make trouble for our Shushan Sword Sect?"

Wanyan Zongbi: "No, I think you've misunderstood. To prevent you from going back and relaying messages, before the war ends..."

You must now remain with my army, but rest assured, as the fourth prince of the Jin dynasty, I assure you that I will absolutely not harm you.

"You really won't hurt us?"

"Of course, what I hate most in my life is the indiscriminate killing of women. As long as you swallow this pill..."

As he spoke, Wanyan Zongbi tossed two pills that suppressed cultivation levels in front of them.

"Sorry, but you are martial artists after all, you understand what I mean, right? Swallow it, and I'll guarantee your safety."

Seeing how confidently he spoke, Ouyang Xuanyi unconsciously began to believe him to some extent.

"Alright, I suppose you, being royalty, won't make things difficult for us."

She helped Li Wan'er up and they swallowed the pill together: "Wan'er, let's go to the enemy camp for a few days first, and then go back to meet up with Junior Brother Ye after some time."

"Ah."

Having already lost her ability to judge, Li Wan'er subconsciously responded and was then "invited" by Wanyan Zongbi to the rear of the Jin camp.

"A naive woman."

Seeing the two women disappear, Wanyan Zongbi let out a disdainful sneer.
