The warriors of the Celestial Hero World are far more formidable than those in martial arts novels.

After all, this is the Spirit Realm, not a martial arts novel. These warriors are not merely foils for martial arts masters, but follow a different path, existing as equals to them.

The warriors have strong physiques and abundant vitality, cultivating a crude type of energy akin to Fighting Qi—Outer Family Gang Qi—while honing their strength day after day.

Though the warriors’ techniques aren’t as unpredictable as those of the martial arts masters, they are straightforward and forceful, able to contend with attacks infused with True Qi from martial arts masters without being at a disadvantage.

These two Golden Generals were not yet on horseback.

If they were mounted, towering from above and borrowing strength from their steeds, their power increase from charging would make martial arts masters even more reluctant to confront them head-on.

The two Leader Level Elders of the Iron Staff Gang tried to use Lightweight Skill to exploit their agility advantage.

But the two Jin Soldiers Generals were Enhanced Leader Level experts, with a pack of Wolf Fang Iron Cavalry as fierce as wolves and tigers!

The Wolf Fang Iron Cavalry raised their hands, flinging lasso ropes into the air.

The lassos were like Spirit Snakes, with each one covering a large area of the sky.

The two Elders of the Iron Staff Gang exerted all their efforts to dodge three to five lassos, but there were dozens of Wolf Fang Iron Cavalry throwing them at the same time!

Seeing the situation was dire, the Elder in black clothes struck his companion’s back with Soft Strength, sending him flying and saving his life.

Whoosh!

Over ten lassos looped around the black-clad Elder, dragging him away without suspense.

This is the plight of martial arts masters facing an elite army, without crush-level power, mere techniques are useless.

The Golden General leading the Wolf Fang Iron Cavalry, wielding a Black Halberd, grinned ferociously and stabbed forward.

"Elder Wu!"

The saved gray-clad Elder sobbed with tears in his eyes, crying out.

Swish!

A surge of sand dust roared in, forming a circular Sand Shield in the air.

With a bang, the Black Halberd struck the Sand Shield but could not advance an inch.

The next second, the golden sand scattered, transforming into Sand Flying Knives that easily severed the lassos, rescuing the black-clad Elder Wu.

"Who dares?" the Black Halberd Golden General, surprisingly fluent in Central Plains language, demanded.

"Who I am is not for you to know. But you should recognize this traitor’s head."

A gentle voice carried an unmistakable power.

Everyone present momentarily paused and looked over.

A young man in white carried an eight- or nine-year-old child.

The child, dressed in luxury, slept soundly on the young man’s back.

In front of the young man was a thin layer of sand holding aloft a gray-haired head, suspended in midair!

The gray-haired head still bore a terrified expression from before death. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Is this... the head of the Emperor Zhang Bangchang of Great Chu?" the Black Halberd Golden General exclaimed, "You actually killed Zhang Bangchang!"

With those words, the crowd of martial arts heroes erupted into cheers.

"Good! Zhang Bangchang, that treacherous minister, deserved to die!"

"What Great Chu Emperor, clearly a puppet emperor set by you Golden Dogs, deserved death indeed."

"The skill of Immortal Master Yujing is truly impressive!"

The Black Halberd Golden General Jin Bingnu exchanged glances with the other two Golden Generals, all frowning slightly.

Zhang Bangchang was enthroned as the Great Chu Emperor by Marshal Wanyan Zongwang during his retreat. Though the Golden Generals looked down on Zhang Bangchang, his presence at least served to frustrate the Song Dynasty’s loyalist forces.

But before the loyalist forces even arrived, Zhang Bangchang was decapitated by a martial arts master from the Central Plains.

Che Li Buhua suddenly chattered away.

Qin translated: "Master, this barbarian said that with Central Plains martial arts masters and a group of Golden Soldiers guarding Zhang Bangchang, it’s impossible for you to have killed him. This head is a fake."

Bai Pu raised a hand, and the sand carried Zhang Bangchang’s head toward Che Li Buhua.

Che Li Buhua caught the head atop his broad blade, examined it carefully, and his expression changed drastically.

From his expression, everyone inferred that this was indeed Zhang Bangchang’s head.

Bai Pu slowly said, "Indeed, there were people guarding Zhang Bangchang... but since I wanted to kill him, whether he had guards didn’t really matter."

If anyone else had said this, it would have sounded arrogant.

However, Bai Pu’s calm and steady delivery lent his words a convincing power, and the heroes marveled at the "Immortal Master Yujing’s" extraordinary means.

"Hmph, I want to see if you’re just blowing hot air, you greenhorn!"

The Black Halberd Golden General Jin Bingnu shouted, "Sons, charge with me!"

Whether the ordinary Jin Soldiers from the beginning or the later-arriving Wolf Fang Iron Cavalry, they all shouted and charged forward.

Bai Pu shook his head slightly.

The next second, a mighty sandstorm suddenly swept across the battlefield!

Sandfall Domain!

Within the Sandfall Domain, the Central Plains martial arts heroes felt as light as swallows, their speed greatly increasing. In contrast, the Jin Soldiers seemed burdened with a thousand pounds, each step requiring immense effort.

The three Golden Generals could barely move, but Qin stood directly in their path, releasing Blood-colored Energy Arrows infused with the power of Blood Mystical Arts.

The Golden Generals had no chance to dodge and could only endure, but soon their Qi flow was disrupted by the Blood Mystical Arts, causing their movements to stutter frequently.

In this situation, let alone leading their soldiers in battle, even their own safety was hard to ensure.

The Iron Beggar led the Central Plains martial arts heroes in continuously defeating the Jin Soldiers with great satisfaction.

Qin quietly asked Bai Pu, "Dior, aren’t you interested in obtaining a few treasure chests?"

Bai Pu shook his head and replied, "When assassinating Zhang Bangchang and rescuing the Twenty-Eighth Prince earlier, I tried. I killed two Leaders but didn’t even see a shadow of a treasure chest."

"Could it be your power is too great?"

"Probably not. In the Celestial Hero World, my level is limited to Level 6, and even the Attributes are at Level 6. However, my Skill Level has surpassed the Level 6 restriction, likely due to the Hidden Title Limit Breaker’s influence..."

Bai Pu thought for a moment and added, "It’s probably because of the Source Lord’s Descent. In the Celestial Hero World, I may have lost certain traits as an Awakened, so killing strong enemies doesn’t result in treasure chests, and I haven’t received any Spiritual Points either."

"I see!" Qin was slightly disappointed, wondering if this was an adjustment by the Spirit Realm Will for balance.

Bai Pu was unfazed: "It’s alright. The aim of the Source Lord’s Descent is only to help me collect Legendary Points more efficiently. As for treasure chests in the Mid-level Spirit Realm, they don’t hold much significance for me anymore. It’s you who, with my assistance, should collect more treasure chests."

Bai Pu controlled the Magic Sand, sending it to surround Qin’s body, helping form a damage-absorbing shield.

With this protection, Qin’s attacks became more reckless, even preparing a Strong Power Magic—Blood Wave—right in front of the three Golden Generals, rapidly spreading the ashen energy that directly killed the heavily injured Golden General Che Li Buhua!
