Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1602 - 1572: High-Stakes Gamble

"Even if there are millions, I shall go forth, let alone just a mere peak Saint King?"

Xiao Yi stood proudly, his figure resembling a divine sword piercing the heavens, its aura unstoppable.

Everyone present felt his determination and sharpness.

Exhale!

Nie Tianhe let out a long breath, seeming to mockingly shake his head with a light laugh, then raised his gaze to fix on Xiao Yi: "What a bold declaration of ’even if there are millions, I shall go forth’... If you aren’t afraid, then what are we worried about? At worst, we die, let’s fight!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Tan Huajian and the others clenched their fists tightly, low growls bursting from their throats.

Over these years...

They have been suppressed for too long.

As the strongest elite legion of the Unharmed Heaven Realm, they could not easily make a move, always hearing about the brutal battles other allied forces endured.

Yet, they could only guard Xuanguang City.

No one knew how oppressed they felt inside.

For countless days and nights, they wished to charge into the battlefield, even to fight the scum of the Blissful Heaven Realm to the death without hesitation.

But...

They could not easily get involved.

Because they could not lose!

They are the last bastion of the Unharmed Heaven Realm, the undefeated myth in the hearts of all strongmen on the realm battlefield, the spiritual pillar!

Once they were defeated, the spiritual pillar supporting countless strongmen of the Unharmed Heaven Realm would collapse.

Then it would be the Unharmed Heaven Realm’s doomsday.

Especially in the recent half year...

One after another, the cities of the Unharmed Heaven Realm fell, occupied by the scum of the Blissful Heaven Realm and Life Heaven Realm, countless compatriots and comrades ruthlessly slaughtered.

This angered them to the extreme, desperately wanting to charge onto the battlefield.

But they couldn’t move!

Once they moved, they would face the elite troops of the Blissful Heaven Realm and Life Heaven Realm, and with their strength alone, they couldn’t resist the assault of those two worlds.

Only by holding the fort with the Sky Suppressing King at Xuanguang City, could they create a kind of invisible deterrent to the strongmen of those two worlds.

Even if cities are lost, at least they wouldn’t easily launch a full attack!

But now...

The Heavenly Tao Order and the Sky Suppressing King’s Tiger Talisman have both fallen into Xiao Yi’s hands, and he became the highest commander of the Zhen Tian Legion, whose first order was to unleash the tigers.

To let them, the Azure Dragons, surge into the sea!

To overturn heaven and earth.

To kill until the sky is dark...

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

A multitude of strongmen raised their arms high, their murderous intent reaching the heavens.

Xiao Yi’s long arm raised in the air, the Qingping Sword let out a clang, almost piercing the firmament, Xiao Yi roared aloud: "All Zhen Tian Legion, march with me!"

"Assembly of the Judgment Camp soldiers..."

"Assembly of the Shadow Camp soldiers..."

"Tian Character Camp..."

"Di Character..."

A barrage of military orders shattered the heavens.

Resonating across the nine skies.

Majestic and grand.

The entirety of Xuanguang City burst forth with dazzling brilliance, an immense and powerful aura soared into the sky, they had been suppressed too long.

Now, hearing the summons, the blood that had almost cooled over the years reignited: "Is it finally our turn to take action?"

"Blissful Heaven Realm scum, your grandpa is here!"

"Those who offend the Unharmed Heaven Realm, even if far, must be slain!"

Amidst shouts of anger.

Countless strongmen converged into a steel torrent, hovering over Xuanguang City.

Nie Tianhe cupped his hands to Xiao Yi: "Your Highness Saint Heir, the Tian Character Camp brothers are assembled, please issue the order!"

"Nie Tianhe, I’ll leave Jun Shang City to you!" Xiao Yi said solemnly.

"Yes!"

Nie Tianhe nodded solemnly, turned around with raised arms, "Tian Character Camp brothers, follow me!"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The majestic strongmen of the Tian Character Camp took to the air.

"Shadow Camp brothers, it’s time for us to set out too..."

Shasheng led the Shadow Camp strongmen, disappearing into the darkness, employing their mystic movement technique as they flew toward their assigned battlefield.

The strongmen from the remaining eight camps also left in succession.

In an instant.

Aside from the usual defenses, there were only Xiao Yi and the elites of the Judgment Camp left in Xuanguang City. Tan Huajian stood straight in front of Xiao Yi: "Your Highness the Saint Heir, the Judgment Camp is ready!"

"Very good!"

Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over the fierce-looking, ferocious Judgment Camp soldiers, "Brothers, our target this time is Wuyuan City..."

Hiss!

Everyone drew a sharp breath: "Wuyuan City? With just us? Isn’t that a suicide mission?"

"Really? The Saint Heir is too arrogant, isn’t he? He actually wants to attack Wuyuan City?"

The soldiers whispered among themselves.

Clearly, the news of attacking Wuyuan City greatly exceeded their expectations.

After all.

Even the Sky Suppressing King once said that to attack Wuyuan City, he would have to personally lead all ten camps of the Zhen Tian Legion; otherwise, it’s impossible to take that strategic stronghold.

Xiao Yi daring to target Wuyuan City with just himself and the Judgment Camp made many look at him with cold and angry eyes.

If it weren’t for the strict discipline of the Zhen Tian Legion, they would have started cursing out loud.

Though it is a soldier’s duty to obey orders.

Yet fighting a battle that clearly sends them to their deaths, how can they remain calm?

"Everyone, shut up!"

Tan Huajian shouted angrily, seeing the noise gradually quiet down, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said sternly, "What kind of behavior is this? Have you forgotten your identities? We are the last shield of the Unharmed Heaven Realm. If it needs our defense, we are the strongest shield. If it needs us to attack, we become the strongest spear. If anyone is too afraid to step forward, I will let you leave, got it?"

Everyone lowered their heads; no one stepped forward.

They were not afraid to die.

They just knew it was certain death.

Yet they still had to be sent to die.

This was unacceptable to them.

Tan Huajian glanced at the lifeless elite of the Judgment Camp, secretly angry, fearing these guys would provoke Xiao Yi.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi seemed very tolerant of the Judgment Camp soldiers.

Faced with the resentful gaze of the crowd, Xiao Yi still maintained a calm heart: "I know you think attacking Wuyuan City with our strength is no different than courting death."

"Isn’t it?"

"May I ask Your Highness the Saint Heir, without considering the elite Ninth Legion of the Blissful Heaven Realm stationed there, who can contest that peak Saint King expert?"

"We’re not afraid to die, but we don’t want to die without understanding why, nor do we want to be sacrificed because of a foolish decision by the commander!"

Many soldiers voiced their concerns.

Tan Huajian frowned, intending to reprimand them, but Xiao Yi raised a hand to stop him.

Xiao Yi smiled and looked at them, saying, "I understand your concerns, it’s human nature. However, let me ask this: If today, the Sky Suppressing King stood here and made the same decision, would you still worry?"

"Of course not!"

"The Sky Suppressing King is our War God of the Unharmed Heaven Realm, undefeated..."

Voices echoed intermittently among the crowd.

Though not explicitly stated.

But it was apparent they were implying, How can you compare to the Sky Suppressing King?

"Your Highness the Saint Heir, they didn’t mean that..." Tan Huajian tried to smooth things over.

"It’s fine!"

Xiao Yi gestured to him that he didn’t mind, then fixed his burning gaze on the crowd, speaking each word clearly, "Brothers, I know you don’t trust me, which is understandable. How about this? Let’s make a bet: If I win the bet, you will follow me to fight for Wuyuan City. If I lose, I will abandon this plan, how about it?"

"How to bet?"

The crowd asked.

Xiao Yi said, "There is a Yunjing City on the way from Xuanguang City to Wuyuan City, occupied half a year ago by the Blissful Heaven Realm..."

"I know this!"

"The Blissful Heaven Realm scum specifically stationed the 18th Legion in Yunjing City to guard against our Zhen Tian Legion, and that’s also a strong elite legion..."

"Your Highness the Saint Heir, what does Yunjing City have to do with our bet?"

Xiao Yi spoke boldly: "You follow me to Yunjing City, and I will single-handedly break it. If I succeed, I win the bet, but if I fail, I lose the bet, how about that?"

One man siege a city?

Are you dreaming?

Everyone lifted their heads in unison, looking at Xiao Yi incredulously.

Xiao Yi remained unfazed by their gaze, confidently saying, "What? Don’t you dare bet with me?"

"What’s there to fear!"

"Let’s bet!"

"If Your Highness the Saint Heir really can breach a city alone, we’ll join you in the fight for Wuyuan City till the end!"

The soldiers of the Judgment Camp were stirred up by Xiao Yi’s blood-pumping challenge.

One man breaching a city!

If Xiao Yi actually accomplished it, it would be a feat even the Sky Suppressing King couldn’t achieve.

What do they have to fear then?

Xiao Yi raised his arm and called passionately, "Then, gentlemen, march with me..."
