Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 830 - 817 Xuanyuan Halberd
The two armies clashed fiercely, the battle cries shaking the skies, and lives continuously draining away.
Streams of Power of Death, waves of souls, splashes of crimson blood, were surging towards Shi Feng who stood proudly in the sky.
The war, under the control of two incomparable warriors, Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan, saw fifteen thousand casualties on their side, while the Xuanyuan Army suffered even more.
Originally, the death of Great General Yun Jian had already caused a drastic drop in morale. The Xuanyuan Army, fighting till now, had casualties reaching eighty thousand!
The slaughter continued, and Shi Feng finally advanced into the Six-star Martial Emperor Realm, having devoured so many souls, his Soul Power had reached the Nine-star Saint Level, just one step away from the Emperor Realm.
Suddenly, the Xuanyuan Army was horrified to discover that the corpses of their slain comrades, having turned into shriveled husks, had suddenly stood up, swinging their knives at them.
Shi Feng had exhausted the powers of the Dark Corpse Army and recalled them into the Blood-colored Stone Stele, once again setting up the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses, commanding one thousand corpses to slay the enemy.
Though the corpses were weaker than they were in life, they feared no blades, relentlessly advancing, suddenly rising to strike the Xuanyuan Army with a blade, catching them unprepared.
Most significantly, it inflicted an unknown terror upon the enemy.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Feng saw within the enemy ranks a flash of white light; Luo Qingchuan slew a Five-star Martial Emperor Battle General, killed countless enemies, and using the Nine Nether Technique, he absorbed their Power of Death and stepped into the Five-star Martial Emperor Realm.
In this brutal war, not only Shi Feng but also Luo Qingchuan achieved gains.
"Kill!" The slaughter continued relentlessly.
The Blood-colored Blood Flame continued burning furiously towards the enemy, and as time passed, the Xuanyuan Army gained an additional hundred thousand heroic souls!
The battle raged from daytime into dusk, then into night. Finally, it stopped!
The earth continued to burn with a sea of blood-colored fire, stretching seemingly endlessly into the distance, painting the world a bright crimson, exuding an overwhelmingly cold atmosphere.
War finally ended. Of the Xuanyuan Army’s three hundred thousand, they were all slaughtered, not leaving a single survivor.
Shi Feng stood proudly in the void, face indifferent, gazing at the blood-colored sea of flames burning fiercely on the ground.
At this moment, Luo Qingchuan flew into the void, came to Shi Feng’s side, and reported to Shi Feng: "Young Master Feng, the enemy’s three hundred thousand have been completely annihilated; our wounded number over five thousand, and the dead exceed thirty thousand!"
"Hmm!" Hearing Luo Qingchuan’s report, Shi Feng responded indifferently with a nod.
After a pause, Shi Feng said, "Go tell these people they are free, they can leave."
The upcoming war was only between himself and Xuanyuan Changyun; Shi Feng mainly used them to draw out Xuanyuan Changyun or Yun Jian.
Now that Yun Jian had been successfully killed, his Martial Arts had successfully advanced to the Six-star Martial Emperor Realm; not only that, after absorbing so many souls, Shi Feng’s Soul Power also successfully reached the One-star Emperor Level. He had no use for these soldiers anymore.
"Yes!" Luo Qingchuan replied, then descended to convey Shi Feng’s orders.
After Luo Qingchuan left, Shi Feng moved his mind, and the flames burning fiercely on the earth seemed to be drawn by a strong suction force, rising up from the ground and converging towards Shi Feng in the void.
As soon as it touched Shi Feng’s body, it was absorbed back into him.
..
Xuanyuan City Lord Mansion, Grand Hall.
At that moment, a fierce roar like a beast’s wrath echoed:
"What! What did you say! Great General Yun Jian is dead! My army of three hundred thousand, all dead! How is that possible! How is that possible! Someone, take this person who has falsely reported military affairs and drag him out to be executed!"
This angry voice was precisely the Xuanyuan City Lord, Xuanyuan Changyun’s roar!
At the moment, he was pointing with his finger at a scout kneeling below, shouting.
At the city lord’s command, immediately, two golden-armored soldiers entered the hall, one grabbing the scout’s arm.
"Spare my life, my lord! Spare my life! I did not falsely report military affairs! This matter is true! Spare my life, my lord, you cannot kill me, you cannot kill me!"
However, no matter how much the scout begged for mercy, he was ultimately dragged out of the hall by those two golden-armored soldiers, and a painful wail came from outside the hall.
"Yun Jian is dead! My army of three hundred thousand is destroyed!" Xuanyuan Changyun was seated high on the Golden Dragon Throne, fists clenched tightly, and his body trembled lightly.
In fact, he had received word of Yun Jian’s death not long ago, his subordinate reported that Great General Yun Jian’s soul stone had shattered.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! These two, these Nine Nether Rebels! I, Xuanyuan Changyun, will personally cut them down!"
"Someone!" At this time, Yun Jian shouted again in anger: "Bring my mount, fetch my Divine Artifact! I will personally lead the expedition!"
"Yes!" At the hall’s entrance, a chorus of affirmative replies echoed from dozens.
This time, Xuanyuan Changyun was so enraged that none of the civil and military officials below dared to speak to dissuade; when Xuanyuan Changyun decided to personally lead the expedition, even Zhuge Xiao, remained silent, not speaking a word.
Combining three hundred thousand troops under Yun Jian’s command was originally his idea; Zhuge Xiao had thought the opponent’s Martial Arts Cultivation was at the Five-star Martial Emperor Realm, while another was at the Four-star Martial Emperor Realm.
Since Great General Yun Jian was a Seven-star Martial Emperor Realm strongman, he thought it would be more than enough to deal with these two.
He never imagined such a monumental change would occur, that these two would kill the Seven-star Martial Emperor Realm Great General Yun Jian and accomplish such an incredible feat.
No one could have anticipated it; such people would actually be able to kill Yun Jian.
Soon, a golden Kirin was led by a golden-armored soldier into the grand hall. This Kirin was Xuanyuan Changyun’s mount, the Golden Qilin.
However, it was naturally not a genuine Ancient Divine Beast Qilin, but only bore the bloodline of a Divine Beast Qilin, albeit no longer pure, but still a Kirin bloodline; now this demon beast had advanced to the Five-star Emperor Level Peak, nearing the Six-star Emperor Level.
"Roar! Roar roar!" As soon as the Golden Qilin entered the hall, its two fist-sized eyes glared angrily at the people within, emitting a series of roars, exuding a powerful aura.
Not long after, a halberd gleaming with golden light was brought in by fifteen golden-armored soldiers collectively into the grand hall.
This halberd was named Xuanyuan Halberd! It was rumored that in the past, Xuanyuan, the ancestor of the Xuanyuan Family, wielded this very Xuanyuan Halberd while sweeping across large swaths of the Western Region to establish the Xuanyuan Empire.
Ordinarily, the Xuanyuan Halberd was enshrined in the Xuanyuan Ancestral Shrine.
