Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

General Deng, who was directing his army to charge forward, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and a strange fear arose within him.

He instinctively drew his sword and prepared to defend himself.

As expected of someone who has spent his entire life crawling among piles of corpses, he possesses an extraordinary level of vigilance.

"He is indeed an extraordinary person, possessing such high levels of perception and alertness even in such a chaotic environment!"

Standing in the air above the canyon, more than ten feet away from Governor Deng, Chu He and Qiu Shui, like bystanders passing by, commented on him with great interest.

"Who is this extraordinary person who has come from?"

Governor Deng asked warily. He already sensed the threat the two men posed to him; these two seemingly harmless old men were definitely not people he could afford to offend.

"My name is Chuhe, and her name is Qiushui. When the young master learned of the general's arrival, he specially sent the two of us to invite the general to Wushuang City for a few days, to fulfill our duty as hosts."

Chuhe gestured for him to enter.

"Two Heavenly Realm experts with such high Xuan Gong cultivation can be dispatched as vanguards, and there are several masters who are willing to sacrifice themselves to block the enemy on the front lines. Your young master is indeed extraordinary!"

Upon learning the identities of the two men, Governor Deng couldn't help but sigh.

"Please convey my gratitude to the young master for his kindness, but I am in armor and it is inconvenient for me."

"But we promised before we came that we would definitely invite the general back. If the general doesn't go, wouldn't that make us break our promise to the young master? That would be too embarrassing for us!"

Chu He feigned a troubled expression.

"Since you two have said so, then this old man has no choice but to oblige! Five Tigers Formation!"

At Governor Deng's command, the five military officers beside him immediately dismounted and lined up in front of Governor Deng according to the five elements.

Instantly, five streams of five-colored profound energy rose from the five people's bodies, then converged together, forming a dazzling white light that shot straight towards the two.

The powerful spiritual energy, carrying a strong destructive will, locked the two of them in place.

The two did not expect that five people who were only at the eighth or ninth level of the Earth Rank would have such high attack power when they formed a team.

The sudden attack startled the two men, who hurriedly dodged.

This was mainly because the two had very little practical experience and never expected that the enemy would launch a sudden attack without warning.

"This formation is indeed impressive; it actually allows a Xuan cultivator at the Earth Rank to unleash the power of a Heaven Rank Level Two cultivator! It seems we must fight with all our might! Brother He, you stay behind and cover me while I deal with them!"

Qiu Shui was eager for battle and was ready to fight.

The war has been going on for so long, and she hasn't even had a chance to make a move yet. She's been itching to take action for a long time.

Qiu Shui gathered her energy, unleashing her full power, and swung her palm to meet the attack.

A sharp and murderous aura immediately filled the entire space within a ten-zhang radius.

Soldiers with lower levels of martial arts cultivation were instantly crushed by this chilling aura, exploding into piles of blood and flesh. Those with higher levels of martial arts cultivation were thrown several meters away, their fates unknown.

The five generals immediately changed their positions, waving their palms to form a golden shield that blocked Qiu Shui's fierce palm strike.

"Alright! Take this!"

Qiu Shui turned around and shot into the sky. Then she turned around, put her hands together, and her whole body radiated a dazzling blue light.

As she flipped and plunged downwards, the blue light around her body gathered and enveloped Qiu Shui, forming a dazzling blue lightsaber that pierced straight down.

Upon seeing this, the five generals' expressions all changed drastically.

Even before the lightsaber arrived, they felt as if a thousand swords were piercing their hearts. In a panic, the five of them linked arms tightly together, gathering all their profound spiritual power to form a shield to defend themselves.

Governor Deng, who was watching from the sidelines, was greatly shocked.

I never expected our opponent to be so strong.

Based on the current situation, the opponent is estimated to be at least a second-level Heavenly Realm expert of the same rank as him, while the other person who is smiling and watching is even more unfathomable.

Based on his intuition, he knew the opponent was a more formidable expert.

Just as Governor Deng was beginning to suspect something, Qiu Shui's light sword had already struck the golden shield.

With a deafening roar, Qiu Shui was blasted into the air, and the shield formed by the five people shattered and vanished.

The five people who were huddled together were scattered by the huge shockwave and thrown dozens of feet away, falling to the ground like dead fish.

He didn't move for a long time.

"General Deng, it doesn't seem right for you to leave without even saying goodbye!"

When his five trusted men were defeated, Governor Deng knew that the situation was hopeless. He immediately removed his golden armor, disguised himself as a deserter, and fled into the disorganized and fleeing army in an attempt to escape.

But before he had gone far, he saw Chu He leap into the air and block his way.

Knowing that he could not escape, Governor Deng had no choice but to bite the bullet and stop to fight.

"Does General Deng really not want to meet our young master?"

Chu He used his profound skills to force away the scattered soldiers around him, clearing a space around himself and Governor Deng.

"Defeated general, I have nothing to say. Please do as you say. It is an honor for a soldier to die on the battlefield!"

"It seems you are determined to die rather than surrender, then I have no choice but to offend you!"

As soon as Chuhe finished speaking, Governor Deng immediately felt the air around him suddenly become thick without warning.

Even if you push your skills to the limit, it's like being immersed in an endless ocean, unable to escape.

This feeling was even more despairing than Qiu Shui's sharp and domineering offensive.

The difference between Governor Deng, who is at the beginner level of the second rank of the Heavenly Realm, and Chu He, who is at the peak of the fourth rank of the Heavenly Realm, is not just two levels, but a whole realm.

Moreover, Governor Deng's fire-attribute profound spiritual power was precisely countered by Chu He's water-attribute power.

At the Heavenly Realm level, a difference of one realm is like heaven and earth, let alone two realms, which is an insurmountable chasm.

Faced with Chu He, Governor Deng was utterly powerless.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Governor Deng suddenly gave up resisting, even dispelling his protective magic, leaving himself completely exposed to Chu He's viscous, paste-like water element magic.

He even channeled spiritual energy into himself, causing a large amount of spiritual energy to gather on his body surface and impact his body.

"Oh no, he's trying to self-destruct!"

Qiu Shui, who was watching from the side, noticed something amiss and quickly flew over to stop it.

But Governor Deng was instantly filled with overflowing spiritual energy, turning into a giant human-skin balloon.

"If I can take one down with me, I'll have no regrets in this life! Ha!..."

As expected of a battle maniac, Governor Deng, whose body was filled with violent magic and was no longer recognizable, was bleeding from all seven orifices in great pain, but he still managed to suppress his pain and laugh wildly.

"The idea is good, but you're going to be disappointed!"

Chu He stretched out his hands, and a beam of yellow light quickly enveloped Governor Deng, who was about to self-destruct, forcibly freezing the self-destruction at the moment before it erupted.

"You!... You're a dual elementalist of water and earth!... But no matter how strong you are!... You can't stop me... At most, you can stop me from taking a single breath!"

"Heh, half a breath is enough, isn't it?"

With a swift movement, Qiu Shui appeared in front of Governor Deng. Her right leg, bent backward and glowing with a blue light, struck Governor Deng, who was enveloped in yellow light, with lightning speed, sending him flying into the canyon like a ball.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, a red mushroom cloud rose into the sky above the canyon.

The powerful shockwave, like a hurricane, knocked down a large number of soldiers who were fleeing on the Huilong Road.

Even the Ten Thousand Thunder Tribulation Array permeating the canyon was triggered, with streaks of lightning leaping and darting through the clouds like playful fish.

Immediately following this was a continuous, deafening barrage of thunder.

With Governor Deng's suicide, the war ended in a crushing defeat for the Yan Kingdom.

In the end, of the tens of thousands of Yan Kingdom troops, less than two thousand escaped back. Including the more than three thousand who were captured or surrendered, only half survived.
