‘However, even if they have these weapons, there won’t be many of them. By themselves, none the feudal vassals will be comparable to us or the Demon Sect. But when all of them join forces, even the Demon Sect will have to admit their defeat. Right now, there’s still a chance of winning.’

Xiao Shen looked at the strange figure that was floating in midair and made this assessment in his heart.

Simultaneously, a stream of sword light descended from the sky, encompassing Eunuch Wang’s entire armor in the blink of an eye. A sword tip clashed with the armor, instantly producing endless sparks.

Eunuch Wang dropped to the ground with a bang like a meteor crashing into the ground. Amidst the great tremors caused to the land, he rolled on the ground, creating a large crater.

He stood up gradually, looked at the man who was holding a sword with one hand, and said, “Flying Heavenly Sword Nong Buyi?”

The man who was called Nong Buyi wore ordinary clothes, and his metal sword was like a piece of metal remnant. Sparse beard stubble grew on his face, making him appear like an ordinary drunk man on the streets.

Who would ever think that a man like this was the person who was called the god of all swords, the top swordsman in southern borders? He was a great Tiangang Realm expert and also the top expert under Prince An.

It was said that this person had been saved by Prince An when his was young and in dire straits. After he made great achievements in his martial arts, he followed Prince An and became the greatest expert in the Prince An Manor. Even his wife was Prince An’s daughter.

However, Eunuch Wang did not appear to show any signs of anxiety as he looked at Nong Buyi, who was a legendary character. Instead, he said with indifference, “If I had met you in the past, I would only be able to let myself be seized without putting up a fight. However, right now, even you won’t be able to defeat me.”

Nong Buyi threw a calm glance at Eunuch Wang and said, seemingly with spite and ridicule, “Even the imperial court won’t have that many sets of this layer of skin that you have on you, right? Therefore, I don’t have to defeat you. I just need to hold you down.”

At the next moment, his figure disappeared instantly, and countless sword Qis descended from the sky, slashing onto Eunuch Wang’s exoskeleton armor incessantly.

In the commander’s tent within the imperial court’s army, the Crown Princess sat at the power position, resting her chin on one hand, and a faint smile curled up the corners of her lips.

“There’s really someone who dares to court death?”

Boom!

Almost at the instant she said this, endless forces came striking down, instantly turning the entire camp into ashes. Several tens of close guards around had been blasted into dust.

Within these layers of forces, there were 12 streams of killing intents, piercing like bursts of cold wind released explosively at the same time. The 12 waves of Tiangang Qis descended from the sky, and it was as if there were 12 gust of Qis that were soaring into the sky, wanting to engulf the entire sky above the allied forces.

The movements of the clouds and wind changed as the majestic and powerful scene took place. Everyone was completely shocked into a dazed state by this phenomenon.

A total of 12 Tiangang Realm experts had attacked at the same time to assassinate the Crown Princess.

Xiao Shen, who was in the sky, glared in the Crown Princess’ direction. Spatial cracks kept on twitching in his hands like he was going to make a move at any moment.

‘Hmph, Fang Xuan, do you really think that we’ll give you a chance to take us down one by one, conquering the regions in succession?

’12 Tiangang Realm experts, in addition to Flying Heavenly Sword Nong Buyi—there are a total of 13 Tiangang Realm experts.

‘Four of them comes from the feudal vassals—one from Min Region’s Liang Bo and one from the Zhengkong Sect ¹  which is the force behind Prince Ding.

‘The remaining seven are all Tiangang Realm experts from our Three Mountains Four Peaks.

‘Such great efforts haven’t appeared even once in the past 500 or even 1,000 years.’

All at once, a total of seven Tiangang Realm experts were deployed. These did not even include Qian Huang and Ru Zi who were both striving for the Great Dao Realm, as well as a few heaven-blessed cultivators.

Despite this, in the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ estimation, the total of 13 Tiangang Realm experts would be sufficient to clinch this victory. Even if Fang Xuan who was in the capital were to make a move, there would still be Xiao Shen secretly rendering support using the means of shattering void space to save the others and retreat from this place.

It was because there was a total of 13 Tiangang Realm experts that the feudal vassals had the absolute confidence to make a move. Moreover, they were unlike Xiao Shen and did not know of Fang Youwei’s and Marie’s actual battle prowess.

The disposition of the 13 Tiangang Realm experts who had appeared swept through the entire scene. Other than the Sharp Swords force, the other members from the imperial court wavered and no longer had any battle will.

On the contrary, the allied forces were brimming with confidence. Howling sounds rang throughout the place, as if wanting to engulf the imperial court’s entire army.

On top of Lihe City’s city wall, Ning Baichuan and Wang Daoyuan were both extremely astonished at the scene before them. The concurrent appearance of 13 Tiangang Realm experts had really given them a great shock.

“The Yellow Sect’s sect master, Zhenkong Sect’s Priest Zhenkong… They’ve come… They’ve all come…”

Hearing Ning Baichuan’s mumblings, the Hall Master of the Yellow Sect’s Clearwater Hall grinned and said, “That’s why I said that it’s all meaningless no matter what means the imperial court has. For 13 Tiangang Realm experts to appear at the same time… this means that more than half of the Tiangang Realm experts in the world are here. There is no force that can fight against them. All armies will be turned into dust.

“If we were to fight against them head-on, none of our forces would be able to go up against the imperial court. However, of all the things the young Emperor shouldn’t do, he shouldn’t just fight his way here directly. He did not give the option for others to surrender nor did he try to bribe them. Would this not force the entire world to become his enemies?

Ning Baichuan let out a long exhale, once again feeling great admiration for the 13 streams of Gang Qis that soared into the sky. He said politely to the Clearwater Hall’s Hall Master, “I’ve long held great admiration for the Great Yellow Saint. After this battle, I would like to request for Hall Master to give me a referral to enter the sect.”

The Clearwater Hall’s Hall Master nodded and wore an expression as if Ning Baichuan was a person worth teaching.

In the Yellow Sect’s camp, the dignified old man said decisively, “The victory is already decided. We’ll take the opportunity to send out all of our forces to attack while the enemy forces are wavering. All the Disha Realm cultivators will focus on killing that black-armored army. We must snatch their weapons.”

The young married lady who led the team from the Twelve Alliance laughed and said, “Since the leader has already attacked, let’s make a move as well.”

“Let’s see who kills the most!”

From the commander’s tent, the Crown Princess saw 12 streams of killing intents soar into the sky, yet she showed no reaction at all. She continued to rest her chin on her hand, remaining where she was. Even the chair she was sitting on remained unscathed. The Crown Princess threw a cold glance toward the 12 figures who appeared amidst the rising dust like she was looking at ants.

‘Too shocked? After all, 12 Tiangang Realm experts have been activated at the same time…’ A fierce gleam flashed in the eyes of Liang Bo, the world’s top rebel. He threw a look at the Crown Princess, revealing a hint of pity.

‘She’s so beautiful. It’s such a pity.’

At the next moment, the Gang Qis in his body erupted fiercely, turning into pitch-black and bringing along an extremely stinky power that encompassed his palm. He then slapped out toward the Crown Princess’ back.

As he made a move, attacks came toward the Crown Princess concurrently from all directions.

Right then, the 12 Tiangang Realm experts had each made a move at full-power. They showed no signs of underestimating their enemy at all, aiming to kill the Crown Princess at the very first instant.

However, at the next moment, the shock on their faces turned into horror.
