Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1318 - 1301: Arrival of the Tie Xue Army

In the territory of the Sky Sword Sect within the Three Alliances Domain, the wind howled ominously, and chaos reigned as numerous Martial Artists from the Sky Sword Sect could be seen flying in the sky every day. Whenever they encountered warriors from the Star Alliance, they would immediately strike to kill.

Before long, the Heavenly Axe Sect and the Fast Gun Sect from the Three Alliances also dispatched teams led by Emperor Realm experts to join the ranks of those slaughtering the Star Alliance warriors, causing even more disorder in the entire Three Alliances Domain. Almost no warrior dared to enter the area.

Everyone knew that the Three Alliances Domain was paving the way for the Iron Blood Emperor Domain to completely annihilate the Star Alliance, and it wouldn’t be long before the Iron Blood Army arrived to attack.

Who among the Central State warriors would dare to challenge the Iron Blood Army?

The Three Alliances had entrenched themselves in the domain for years, their influence deeply rooted and interconnected. Their encirclement pushed inward step by step, setting up a Heavenly Net, trapping the Star Alliance warriors near Southern Border City.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Outside Southern Border City, there was a verdant mountain range stretching for thousands of miles, passing through several nearby cities.

Within the dense forests of the mountains outside Southern Border City, shadows could be seen flickering. Numerous Martial Artists clad in the robes of the Star Alliance utilized the environment here, remaining vigilant with taut nerves.

At the slightest disturbance, they would immediately detect it.

Upon closer inspection, every one of these warriors bore fresh blood on their bodies, extremely fatigued.

Yet, with the survival of the Star Alliance at stake, they dared not neglect their guard and remained persistently vigilant.

In the mountain peaks behind these warriors, a natural cave had formed by hollowing out the belly of a mountain. This was the Star Alliance’s headquarters in the Central State, very secretive, but now it was no longer a secret.

Torches within the cave burned, dispelling the darkness. Two young figures sat cross-legged facing each other, none other than Nangong Xingyu and Prince Donghuang.

After parting with Xiao Ye in the Snow Domain, they intended to gather the Star Alliance warriors but were hunted by the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, fleeing here only to be blocked by the Three Alliances forces.

Now they looked pale, their breaths weak, clearly severely wounded. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Damn it, these bastards from the Three Alliances Domain are truly detestable!"

"We hold no grudge against them. Why are they ambushing us?"

"If it weren’t for our injuries, how could they be so rampant?"

Prince Donghuang clenched his fists, his face full of anger.

"Back then, Brother Xiao killed the Sect Master of the Sky Sword Sect’s own child; it’s entirely reasonable they hold a grudge against us."

"Besides, who dares defy the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s orders?" Nangong Xingyu, no longer wearing his mask, showed a mocking expression on his pale face.

He was completely disillusioned with the Iron Blood Emperor Domain.

The Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s actions, aside from targeting Xiao Ye, also aimed to eradicate him.

"What do we do now?"

"We’re all injured. Even Little White, in the previous chase, was wounded by a Titled Emperor Martial from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain. Now at the Star Alliance headquarters, besides you and Little White, there’s no more Titled Emperor Martial level combat power."

"We can’t even resist the Three Alliances forces, let alone the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s troops." Prince Donghuang asked with a bitter smile.

Their situation was indeed dire.

Under the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s pursuit, the Star Alliance had suffered heavy casualties, and now this headquarters had less than thirty Emperor Realm experts, while the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s forces could attack at any moment.

"Wait!"

Nangong Xingyu was silent for a moment, a glint flashing in his eyes as he spoke.

"Wait?"

"You mean wait for Ye Zi?" Prince Donghuang asked curiously.

"Exactly! Brother Xiao went to Sealing Emperor City. As long as we can hold out until he returns, our crisis will be resolved." Nangong Xingyu nodded.

"Alright then, let’s hope Ye Zi can arrive before the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s forces descend." Prince Donghuang smiled bitterly again.

Rumble!

Just as the two conversed, the entire cave suddenly shook, walls cracking, rocks crumbling, as if on the verge of collapsing.

At the same time, shrill screams echoed from outside the cave, drastically changing the expressions of Nangong Xingyu and Prince Donghuang.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

With a flash, they dashed out of the cave, emerging into the sky, looking far into the distance.

At the end of their sight, a large group of figures flew towards them.

Each exuded a powerful aura, clad in identical uniforms, undeniably the Three Alliances forces, numbering over a thousand. Even the Sky Sword Sect Master, Heavenly Axe Sect Leader, and Fast Gun Sect Master had appeared — elites were all on the move.

By now, many warriors from the Three Alliances had infiltrated here, engaging in fierce battle with the Star Alliance warriors.

"Are these bastards insane?"

"Do they intend to go all out against us?"

Prince Donghuang, enraged, was about to act when Nangong Xingyu stopped him.

He was about to ask when he saw Nangong Xingyu’s expression turn extremely grim.

Following Nangong Xingyu’s line of sight, his pupils contracted instantly.

For behind the warriors of the Three Alliances, banners fluttered, revealing figures clad in Blood Armor treading the sky. Their bodies exuded intense Slaughter Aura, each an Emperor Realm expert.

There were nearly five thousand of them, like a blood-red torrent flooding the heavens, capable of subduing all, making the mountain peaks within the range tremble fearfully.

The ten figures standing at their forefront exuded a terrifying aura.

"The Iron Blood Emperor Domain has arrived." Prince Donghuang’s body stiffened, scalp tingling, mood extraordinarily heavy.

Finally, he understood why Nangong Xingyu had stopped him.

To simultaneously mobilize over five thousand Emperor Martial troops, only the Four Great Emperor Domains in the Central State could achieve that.

"The Domain Lord orders the complete annihilation of the Star Alliance remnants — kill!" The ten Titled Emperor Martial warriors before the Iron Blood Army said coldly, like Gods passing judgment on mortals.

Boom!

As their words fell, five thousand Iron Blood soldiers shouted in unison, unleashing an icy killing intent as they drew their swords, charging towards the mountain range.

The warriors of the Three Alliances smirked, retreating to one side.

They had done their duty by trapping the Star Alliance warriors and luring the Iron Blood Army here.

Roar!

The mountains shook, beastly roars pierced the sky, as a massive wolf-shaped Ferocious Beast leapt into the air, lunging towards the Iron Blood Army — it was Little White.

Though wounded, Little White was still ferocious, slaughtering dozens of Iron Blood soldiers in an instant. However, six Titled Emperor Martial from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain intercepted him, leaving the situation grim.

"Heh, it seems today we will die together." Nangong Xingyu laughed mockingly.

"It’s disappointing not witnessing Ye Zi establish a school firsthand!" Prince Donghuang also laughed boldly. Facing despair, he became unusually calm, exchanging a glance with Nangong Xingyu before marching to battle with the remaining Star Alliance warriors for a final counterattack.

"Hmph, if you surrender now, we may spare your lives, take you back to the Emperor Domain, and let the Domain Lord deal with you. Otherwise, there’s no mercy in death." The four Titled Emperor Martial advanced together, wherever they passed, Star Alliance warriors screamed and fell into pools of blood.

"Go back with you and let your Domain Lord use us as leverage to trap and kill Ye Zi? I’d rather die!" Prince Donghuang sneered, fearless even against four Titled Emperor Martial.

Nangong Xingyu offered no response, but charged like a Divine Dragon, his body radiating brilliant starlight.

"Hmph!"

"With the Netherworld King powerless, kill them! Bringing back their corpses works just as well!" The Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s four Titled Emperor Martial shouted coldly, attacking in unison.

However, at this moment, the sky changed once more, the entire mountain range shook, and an immense, blood-red Sword Light, like a galaxy pouring down from the heavens, slashed straight at the four Titled Emperor Martial from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, forcing them to defend, their expressions aghast.

"With me here, dare to take another step!"
