Origin Paradise!

puff!

Jiang He flicked her finger lightly, and a stream of light flashed.

The immense force shattered Ning Tianren's legs, obliterating flesh and blood. The excruciating pain that penetrated to his very soul caused him to scream in agony, his face contorted in agony.

"My lord, please wait!"

Inside the hall, a beautiful dancer, her face trembling with emotion, said anxiously, "Ning Lang is a great talent, with the potential to become a prime minister. I hope Your Highness will consider the fate of the nation and show leniency."

Jiang He nodded; treacherous officials will always come out on their own.

boom!

With a flick of the finger, a burst of light shot out, and the dancer's entire body exploded.

"No, Lian'er!" Ning Tianren cried out in grief, "Why? Where is the destiny? Why did you have to kill her!"

"stop!"

Everyone turned around again, and outside the hall, a girl in a black dress rushed over. Her eyes were full of heroic spirit. This second young lady of the Yan family had a remarkable cultivation level, reaching the level of a gold elite.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Ning Lang is my daughter's husband. I will take full responsibility for anything that happens."

"Yes."

With a flick of his finger, he shattered the chest of the girl in the black dress, piercing through her from front to back, blood gushing out like a waterfall. Facing death, her face was full of bewilderment, unable to understand why a dignified terrestrial immortal would stoop so low as to attack her.

Ning Tianren held the girl in the black dress helplessly, crying out in anguish, "Master, where are you? Master, save me!"

"I'm here."

Chapter 582 The Battle of National Destiny

In the hall, the coffered ceiling was shattered.

A fairy in white descended gracefully, displaying superb lightness skills. She appeared to be around thirty years old, with stunning beauty, and held a slender longsword in her hand, exuding an elegant demeanor.

"The ninth candidate in the world, Bai Chensu."

"How could someone surnamed Ning win the favor of a female sword immortal? How despicable!"

"Speaking of which, the Miaoyinzhai behind Bai Jianxian has quite a close relationship with the Daode Sect."

The white-clad fairy stood before Ning Tianren and said gently, "Your Highness, please have mercy and spare my disciple's life for my sake. It is better to resolve enmity than to let it fester. In the future, Miaoyinzhai will certainly treat Your Highness as an honored guest."

“Master, he killed Junior Sister Lian’er.” Ning Tianren said with a face full of hatred, “Even if Prince Yong is in the Netherworld, the candidate still has a chance of winning.”

"What!" The white-clad fairy was startled upon hearing this, and her eyes revealed sorrow.

Miaoyinzhai is one of the ten major sects in the world, but it ranks last and has failed to produce any terrestrial immortals in recent generations, so its status is precarious. Fortunately, the holy maiden of the sect and the old master's first disciple became Daoist partners, which has preserved the name of the ten major sects.

Lian'er was one of the candidates for Holy Maiden.

Whoosh!

Bai Chensu moved lightly, thrusting her sword towards the enemy's heart. The Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs were immortal and potent poisons, surpassing even the most powerful immortals. It was because of this that the old master only retreated once during the Jiazi Demon Extermination.

"Give me back my disciple's life!"

Miaoyinzhai's sword techniques are exquisite. It is said that the most advanced Miaojian and Yinjian are the ultimate skills bestowed by the old master at the wedding of his first disciple. When Bai Chensu uses them now, she is like a celestial maiden.

But for some people, the speed is still too slow.

Jiang He strode ten zhang across and punched Bai Chensu on the head. Bai Chensu's head was smashed into his chest cavity and then suddenly exploded, leaving no trace of his body.

The head of the Yan family turned pale and quickly gestured for his eldest daughter to step back.

General Cao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Ning Tianren stood there, even though in his memories of his previous life, there were very few people as ruthless as Prince Yong. The other party was not affected by the Netherworld at all and maintained his peak combat power.

Jiang He wiped the blood off his hands. It would be difficult to get the Celestials to hand over the complete fundamental technique. At the very least, with his peak Hero status, most of the bewitching secret techniques in the Contending World would be in vain.

The next moment, the legendary secret technique, Destiny, was activated.

Everything that you gain, you can gain again.

"stop!"

In the deathly silent hall, the eldest daughter of the Yan family coldly declared, "I possess a fundamental law scroll, which I hope to exchange for Ning Lang's life with the Prince. We swear that we will never pursue this grudge again."

The demonic sect's holy maiden, who played the role of the eldest sister of the Yan family, had already obtained the fundamental magic, but she kept it hidden because of her love for her.

Jiang He remained silent, but instead flicked out a fishing line of fate. The line fell casually, yet it precisely wrapped around the amber stone around the neck of the eldest daughter of the Yan family, tearing it apart and revealing the pale white finger bones inside, which were engraved with tiny characters.

The legendary fundamental technique – Nine Turns of the Fish and Dragon.

Having lost her leverage for bargaining, the eldest daughter of the Yan family knelt helplessly, her expression filled with despair. But when she looked at her lover, her eyes were filled with determination, and she immediately said:

“I am willing to be a slave, a maid, a piece of paper, or a bowl, just to save Ning Lang’s life.”

"Don't beg him!" Ning Tianren said angrily, "If you end up as a toilet paper spittoon, what right do you have to be my wife in this lifetime!"

Prince Fu gazed at the breathtakingly beautiful face of Yan's eldest daughter beneath the light veil, then turned and said with a flourish, "Brother, Lin'er has already realized her mistake, so why not give me some face?"

"What face do you have?"

Jiang He kicked out, smashing Prince Fu and Lady Yan to pieces. Then she came to Ning Tianren, who was struggling desperately, and stomped on his head.

Suddenly, a Cao family army officer reported anxiously, "My lords, the north gate of the city has been destroyed by the Yan family's private soldiers, and the vanguard cavalry of the Great Shun army has entered. Please provide immediate support."

No one knows when, but the head of the Yan family has disappeared without a trace.

Jiang He crushed Ning Tianren's head, and a blue light appeared between his spine, revealing the Azure Sky Sword, ranked second on the Divine Weapon Ranking.

Jiang He tore the scroll apart. This time, he chose to focus on speed, which is the era of sinful arts. Although this ability can be enhanced by hunting bloodline essence, it is not the only way.

"My lords, the Dragon and Tiger Army has arrived in the east of the city to provide support."

"The Ruyang army has arrived north of the city, and the annihilation of the bandits is just around the corner."

One piece of "good news" after another was delivered, and the atmosphere in the blood-soaked hall gradually eased.

General Cao took the secret edict from his personal guard, his expression changing several times before he finally handed it to someone.

"Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince has branded you a traitor for the unjust killing of 620 members of the Yu family in Yangzhou. You deserve to die. The imperial clan has also taken back the fiefdom and title of Prince Yong. Now the Shun army has accepted the imperial amnesty, and the rebel leader has been granted the title of a king of a different surname. There are 350,000 troops outside, all here to kill you."

General Cao sighed, "I have no intention of being enemies with the Prince, but some of the officers and commanders in the Cao family army are appointed by the imperial court, so Changling County can no longer be considered safe."

Jiang He nodded and ordered the Anse cavalry to immediately leave the city and head to Yixian Gorge. He could only say that the current situation was exactly as he had expected.

……

Changling Plain.

A vast and endless army is gathering.

The central army formation, three riders side by side.

On the left is a kind-looking old monk in gray robes, on the right is a young man with a full head of white hair, and in the middle is a middle-aged scholar dressed in plain clothes, but with a sword sheath inlaid with jade on his back.

"An army of 350,000 men, and three terrestrial immortals."

“This is truly unprecedented,” the old monk withered Zen murmured.

“Prince Yong is no ordinary man; we shall do our utmost to help him,” the leader of the Demonic Sect said frankly.

Xie Anan sighed: "The Anse Iron Cavalry has 50,000 men. They can't cross the first-line canyon in a short time, and the result will inevitably be heavy losses. This iron cavalry and the Prince of Yong are not invincible on their own, but as a powerful vassal king, he is still too daunting. We should cut off one arm first, otherwise the price will be too high."

"When will the private armies of the Jiangnan aristocratic families arrive?" asked the withered old monk.

"Tomorrow morning," Xie Anan replied, "all the elite troops will be deployed."

From the air, hundreds of thousands of troops advanced, stretching endlessly. Among the troops were countless experts, including more than twenty fourth-level heroes. Hundreds of players regarded this battle as a matter of national destiny for the Southern Liang Dynasty.

Chapter 583 Golden Peak

One-line gorge.

The inky, gloomy sky resembled a coffin, and in the narrow canyon filled with earthen-yellow rocks, the corpses of elite heavy infantrymen, numbering approximately three thousand, were scattered everywhere.

On the towering rock walls on both sides, one can still vaguely see the traces left by the giant tail sweeping across. Under the stone pillar in the middle of the canyon, the head of the sect leader of the world's first-class sect, the Thousand Peaks Sect, lies on the ground. This fourth-level sub-hero, who was extremely skilled in defense and steadfastness, died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

In the relatively long valley, 50,000 Anse cavalry stretched for more than ten miles. Because Si Ning had dealt with the ambush troops left there in advance, the advance was relatively safe, but the speed was too slow.

"Boss, the canyon can only accommodate seven riders side by side at most. It will take at least a day for the Anse army to break away completely."

Wuhe landed on his shoulder and said, "If you are transferred into the Blessed Land of Gluttony, you can leave immediately after you go there."

On the skeletal warhorse, Jiang He shook his head and replied, "Leave this move to the Northern Wei. You and Aya will lead the Anse Iron Cavalry, leave the canyon, and advance northeast to take Jiankang. I will stay here to cover the rear and hold off the Southern Liang army."

With most of Xuzhou lost, two imperial guards had to head north to intercept the enemy, and another imperial guard went to Qingzhou and Gaomi to confront them. Both arrived at Changling. Now, around the capital Jiankang, only the Tianwu Imperial Guard can be considered an elite force in the field. The rest are garrison and ceremonial troops, which are struggling even to deal with bandits.

Upon hearing this, Wuhe pondered and said, "Boss, if you cover the rear, the court will probably guess our intentions. Xie An'nan is now the Marshal of the Expeditionary Army, combining military force and power. He has the potential to pull back from the brink. If the Tianwu Army can hold out for half a day in the outskirts of the capital, the main army will return to reinforce, and a pincer attack from both sides might cause some trouble."

Jiang He simply chuckled and said, "No, that won't happen."

“He is indeed qualified, but it is precisely because he is qualified that the imperial army stayed behind to fight me to the death.”

"Emperor Liang Wu and Xie An'nan did not hesitate to reconcile, and even the Demonic Sect joined in the fun, which means that interests outweighed differences."

"These guys are actually after the secret technique that can create 50,000 elite troops in just one month. Compared to me, the Anse Iron Cavalry is just an extra. Besides, a general in the field may not be able to obey orders."

Wuhe's pupils contracted slightly. With this in mind, it's easy to understand why the Sun Moon Demonic Sect would go so far as to use its fundamental technique as bait.

Legendary-level cultivation techniques can create ten major sects, but in the world of the struggle for supremacy, even the combined power of ten major sects may not be comparable to the world-conquering art of weapon forging. According to the most general calculation, with 50,000 iron cavalry per month and 600,000 elite troops per year, the entire world is within easy reach, and even terrestrial immortals can be killed with a wave of the hand.

This is a force that can drive both the imperial court and powerful families mad. If it weren't for the difficulty in mobilizing them in a short period of time, the number of enemy troops in Changling County would have increased even further, perhaps even reaching the limit of the Southern Liang's national strength.

"Understood," Wuhe replied.

A small white snake landed and transformed into a young girl. Jiang He watched the two escort the group away, then turned and walked towards the canyon entrance.

Dark clouds filled the sky.

Changling County was just a dozen miles away, with billowing dust on both sides, and the so-called army to suppress the bandits had already assembled.

Jiang He raised his arm horizontally, and the black light, thick as water, dripped down, forging a hundred black battle blades.

call!

Within the military formation, banners were raised one after another.

The Prince of Ruyang, who was in actual command of the entire army, stood on the top of Changling City, looking at the young prince in the distance.

"A war for the fate of the nation, at all costs."

"As long as we forcibly capture the Prince of Yong and obtain the divine art of weapon forging, let alone losing Xuzhou, even if we retreat to the southeast, the imperial court can still make a comeback and rebuild the world."

The Prince of Ruyang's eyes gradually burned with desire. If he were the one to obtain the divine art of weapon forging, then the outcome would be uncertain.

"Yak Battalion, move out!"

The moment the Anse cavalry entered the canyon, the army launched its attack. The young prince's choice to cover the rear alone was one of the best outcomes anticipated before the battle.

Ten thousand yaks, their horns melted down to forge steel blades, were used by soldiers who ignited their tails one by one. The intense pain seemed to provide endless energy, causing the yaks to become restless and charge. The military strategists immediately took action, their powerful military aura covering them directly.

The earth shook as if ten thousand cavalry had trampled the ground, and the dust, like a mountain range, completely obscured the view. The painful roars of yaks overlapped and merged, eventually transforming into the thunderous drumbeats signaling the start of battle.

Boom boom boom!
