Human Clan Defender-Chapter 725 - s 69 to 72: Eight Million Army, The Battle Begins (Four in One for Monthly Votes)_7
Fist Saint! This was his esteemed title in Dayue. Any powerhouse who received a title with the word 'Saint' either possessed Transcendent and Saint Entry strength or had achievements in a certain domain unattainable for ordinary people. Clearly, although Wang Xiao's strength was formidable, he had not yet reached the stage of Transcendent and Saint Entry. Therefore, his title, Fist Saint, was primarily attributed to the word 'fist.' In the Fist Path, there were few in the world who could rival him.
The overwhelming power of his fists swept the sky, suppressing the void. When a commander of the Flying Phoenix Army made a move, he was directly crushed by Wang Xiao. Flesh burst apart, and blood rained down. Wang Xiao strode through the void, heading straight for the city wall.
"Wei Yang, do you dare to fight?" Wang Xiao's voice thundered through the void.
Upon hearing this, Wei Yang, his expression cold, brandished his long spear. "Why wouldn't I dare!" As he finished speaking, he too soared into the sky. The silver long spear transformed into a dragon, dancing and weaving in the void. Countless dazzling spear lights erupted, unleashing a heart-palpitating power. In response, Wang Xiao remained composed, throwing a simple punch with the air of one force shattering myriad laws.
BOOM—
The void trembled incessantly. The spear shaft vibrated, and Wei Yang's mind focused. Facing a powerful rebounding force, he didn't retreat half a step, his offensive not pausing for a single breath. As the commander of the Flying Phoenix Army, Wei Yang's strength was naturally not to be underestimated. In fact, the commanders of Great Qin's five great armies each possessed exceedingly formidable strength, considered to be existences at the Extreme Realm. As fellow Extreme Realm powerhouses, even if there were some disparities between them, these differences wouldn't be too significant.
BOOM! BOOM!!
The overwhelming power of fists met spear intent that pierced the air. The two clashed mid-air, their terrifying power ravaging the surroundings. The more they fought, the colder Wang Xiao's heart grew. There's no other reason; Great Qin's foundation is truly too strong! In Dayue, there aren't many powerhouses who have reached such a Realm, even within the imperial court. Yet look at Great Qin. A mere commander of the Flying Phoenix Army possesses strength not much weaker than my own. And it's clear that Wei Yang's strength is definitely not top-tier among the commanders of the five armies. The disparity between our sides is stark. For a moment, Wang Xiao's killing intent surged. The threat from Great Qin is truly immense. The number of top-tier powerhouses largely reflects a nation's overall strength. With Great Zhou annihilated, Great Qin stands alone at the apex. If they're given ten or twenty years to recuperate, even a combined force of Great Liang and Dayue might not be able to contend with them. Attacking Great Qin now, preemptively, is the most appropriate course of action. Such a power... if we don't strike while it's vulnerable, who could possibly be their match once they recover their vitality?
Although Emperor Yue had given prior instructions, Wang Xiao understood. Subsequent plans against Great Liang are predicated on Great Qin already being eradicated. If Great Qin cannot be destroyed, then Dayue and Great Liang will remain allies. We've only just begun assaulting Fallen Saint Pass; to claim Great Qin's doom is certain would be overly confident. Right now, all I can do is focus on attacking Fallen Saint Pass. As for the rest... I'll make plans when our troops eventually reach the gates of the Great Qin Capital City.
Kill!
A brutal slaughter ensued! The eight-million-strong army, upon receiving orders, attacked the city with the ferocity of tigers. Ladders were thrown up one after another, and soldiers from Great Liang and Dayue continuously scaled them, attempting to be the first to breach the city walls. Even with Great Qin's defenders fighting with all their might, they couldn't intercept all the enemy troops. It couldn't be helped; there were simply too many of them. Whenever one soldier fell, another would immediately take their place, without half a moment's pause. Soon, some attackers reached the top of the wall and engaged in fierce combat with the defenders.
BOOM—
Thunder roared. Wei Yang, after a long and fierce battle, was blasted from the sky by a punch, crashing back onto the city wall. Instantly, several enemy soldiers who had just climbed up charged at him, blades swinging. Seeing this, Wei Yang swept his long spear, and their bodies exploded from the impact. He then forcibly suppressed the surging Qi and Blood within him, his gaze rapidly scanning the battlefield. His heart gradually sank.
This is troublesome! he thought. It must be said, the offensive from Great Liang and Dayue is truly ferocious. Not much time has passed since the battle began, yet Fallen Saint Pass has already been breached by the enemy. Looking over the battlefield, the enemy troops are a dense, endless sea. The terrifying rain of arrows pours down, and our Great Qin forces can barely hold on. We've been at a disadvantage from the very start. I even suspect Fallen Saint Pass might be completely overrun in less than two hours.
Retreat! The thought flashed through his mind. But it's too late for that now. With the enemy army right before us, a rash retreat would only hasten our defeat. The only hope of escaping this predicament now rests with Shen Changqing.
Thinking this, Wei Yang looked towards the void above. There, Shen Changqing's incarnation was locked in a bloody battle with Ran An. From appearances, the incarnation was gradually losing ground. Seeing this, Wei Yang's thoughts grew complex. An incarnation formed from a single drop of Essence Blood can fight Ran An, who has already broken through, to such an extent... The strength of his true self needs no further comment. If his true self could come, Ran An would surely be no match. But the problem is... I'm not certain if Shen Changqing can actually arrive. If he cannot, the moment this incarnation falls will be the moment Fallen Saint Pass is truly lost.
In a few breaths, he had assessed the current situation.
At that moment, a heaven-shattering fist intent pressed down from the void, and Wang Xiao's arrogant voice echoed, "Wei Yang, accept your death!"
"You're courting death!" Wei Yang's eyes turned icy. Forcibly suppressing the churning Qi and Blood in his body, he once again soared into the air, charging towards his adversary. The Flying Phoenix Army had no path of retreat. Thinking further was pointless. Since a fight was inevitable, then let it be a fight to the bitter end! The silver long spear tore through the air, an astonishing killing intent erupting from it. Wei Yang's Qi and Blood boiled furiously, and his skin instantly turned crimson. At that moment, his power surged to its absolute peak.
BOOM—
"Shen Changqing, it seems today you are destined to fall!" Ran An's face was a mask of arrogance, black power flowing unceasingly as he violently struck out with his palm, directly sending the incarnation reeling backward. Fighting up to this point, he could clearly feel the incarnation's strength diminishing step by step. Gradually, the scales of victory were tipping in his favor.
In Ran An's view, although Shen Changqing has also reached this level, his foundation is ultimately too shallow to compare with my own decades of accumulation. His defeat was preordained from the start.
"But you can rest assured," Ran An sneered coldly. "After you die, I will have everyone in Fallen Saint Pass accompany you. On the road to the Yellow Springs, you certainly won't be lonely!" It was as if he had already achieved victory, and the person before him could only stretch out his neck for the slaughter.
Hearing this, the incarnation's expression remained utterly calm, showing neither anger nor the panic of impending defeat. "The overall situation is not yet decided. It's too early to say such things."
"Hmph, in my view, the situation is already decided! Why do you persist in this futile resistance?" Ran An scoffed. The incarnation's unruffled demeanor ignited a nameless rage within him. Why?! He's on the verge of complete defeat, so why can he still maintain such a posture? He should be showing fear, or even begging me for mercy! At the very least, he should display some tragic heroism as he prepares to die valiantly! This current composure... it makes me feel as if I'm being looked down upon!
Instantly, Ran An's killing intent skyrocketed. "Your talent can be considered the strongest among the Human Clan since the destruction of the Ancient era, but talent alone is useless. A dead genius is no genius at all." His face was icy. With another palm strike, the incarnation was sent plummeting from the void.
"Die!" Ran An's eyes blazed with murderous intent. His entire body's power underwent Coagulation, merging into a single, devastating strike that he ruthlessly unleashed upon the incarnation.
