The Great Khan on the prairie died in battle, and at this point, the Western Regions and the southwest have all been incorporated under the Qilin banner. For eight hundred years, the Turks, who had been the greatest threat to the Central Plains from beginning to end, either surrendered, died in battle, or fractured. They could no longer pose any threat to the Central Plains.

At the moment of this greatest external enemy’s death, the repressed hostility among the Central Plains’ Divine Generals, who had originally joined forces, once again surfaced.

There was almost no hesitation.

Li Guanyi pulled out the Jiuli Divine Weapon, the Warlord, to block to the side.

The Silent Annihilation Divine Spear swept past, slashing through the Great Khan’s body, then fiercely drawing toward Li Guanyi’s direction, colliding with Li Guanyi’s Battle Halberd. Instantly, the stirring Primordial Qi ripples spread like waves in all directions.

The sound was like muffled thunder rolling.

The atmosphere of temporary peace on the battlefield, after the Great Khan’s execution, was shattered, with two streaks of aura towered up, stirring the clouds in the sky, a wave rapidly swept across in all directions from the center point where the two met.

Weapons and grass were lifted, blood fallen on the ground turned into rain.

The collision of Jin Qi emitted radiance, like thunder, the soldiers of the Qilin Army and Ying Country had barely sighed with relief, reminiscing absentmindedly about finally settling the eight-hundred-year grudge, defeating the Turks and the prairie.

They counted themselves fortunate for experiencing a battle worthy of being penned into history.

As warriors and fighters, they fought for the Central Plains, traveled far beyond Wan Li, vanquished foreign tribes, extinguished the Turks, and survived this expedition, gaining military achievements more or less, stories to boast about decades later while drinking with grandchildren.

Then the whistling of weapons completely shattered the little reverie of tired minds after the great battle.

The roar of the fierce general rose once again: "Form up!!!"

Yue Qianfeng held his weapon, advancing forward.

The Tiger Barbarian Cavalry of Ying Country, the Qilin Guard of Qin Country simultaneously raised their weapons. Instantly, as the weapons lifted and collided, they emitted a chilling and sharp sound, directing their weapons at their former comrades and allies.

The bloodshed and helplessness of chaotic times were thoroughly displayed at this moment.

Li Guanyi’s Battle Halberd met Jiang Su’s Divine Spear, yet Jiang Su felt the force from this young man’s hands was even stronger than before, faintly seeing Qin King’s Five Dharma Forms gradually converging into one behind him.

Transforming into what the Great Khan saw in his final charge: a singular [Dragon].

Will unified...

Martial Arts Legend.

Has he walked this path himself?

Jiang Su exchanged several bouts with Li Guanyi, but suddenly withdrew his weapon, wielding the Silent Annihilation Divine Spear and alternating Yin Yang powers to their fullest extent, what was originally a formidable power strike, suddenly restrained, turning into a smart and Soft Force.

Then retreating smoothly, effortlessly stepping back, disengaging from battle.

Li Guanyi holding the Divine Weapon, raising the blade, pointing forward.

The Qilin on his shoulder bared fangs and claws, its eyes had turned golden-red.

Just waiting for Jiang Su to step forward, ready to take him down with one swift blow!

Jiang Su eyed the Qin King wielding the Battle Halberd before him, and the army behind him, his gaze slightly lowered, reflecting on the three years passed since the last great battle, during which the Qin King broke Chen Country, challenged Jiangzhou, and battled the Turks.

His aura soared like a rainbow.

In the battle before Qin King was crowned, he had one foot in the Martial Arts Legend. During the fifteenth year of Divine Revelation, while Li Guanyi battled the Great Khan on the prairie, he fully expressed his Martial Arts Legend Energy alongside the Wolf King’s.

Under the immense pressure from the Great Khan.

As if high-grade iron, forged by heavy hammer, the mastery of the Martial Arts Legend Energy became increasingly calm and adaptable, followed by two years of eastward and westward campaigns, seldom staying home, constant warfare nurturing within him the spirit akin to a founding emperor, growing more robust, culminating today, after defeating the Great Khan.

Such an awe-inspiring presence as the founder of the Central Plains, almost tangible.

At least.

Neither Emperor Chen Wu of Chen Country, the founding monarch of Daying Kingdom, nor the Western Regions hero Tuyuhun.

Were his equals.

Whether in martial skills, dominance, or this uncompromising spirit to unify the world, he truly stands alone among hundreds of years.

Jiang Su looked at Li Guanyi, feeling the urge for fierce combat, yet, Yue Pengwu stationed centrally in Chen Country, knowing today’s battle, would only vent emotions, but not determine the world’s course. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Can the battle between warriors settle the world? Bring peace to the people?

"Alas, alas, now is ultimately not the time for deciding life and death."

"The forces insufficient, though to defeat you, killing you proves challenging."

Jiang Su’s voice carried regret.

Even more regrettable is the recognition that the current might is insufficient to kill the Qin King leading the army, ironically greater chances exist for Qin King, under immense pressure, to breach that slender yet arduous pass, truly becoming a Martial Arts Legend.

A battle yielding little benefit.

Li Guanyi felt similarly.

"Alas, alas."

Jiang Su casually placed his weapon on his warhorse, devoid of hostility and murder intent, and said: "Since it holds no meaning, then let’s postpone the battle between you and me. The one deciding the world’s future is no longer a mere warrior’s contest."
