"What does King of Mingzhou mean by this poem?"

"It means that he doesn't even want to be Emperor anymore; he'd rather become a murderous demon."

"Of course, that emperor's seat, even if he wanted to sit on it, he couldn't anymore."

"It has always been the clan that killed the redundant, but today he wants to protect the redundant and kill the noble families. He's going to offend the entire world..."

Even inside Menghu Pass, upon hearing the content of this poem, countless people felt their hearts seized with dread, as if an invisible night was pressing down on their heads.

"Boom!"

From afar, as Yang Gong ordered the charge towards the eerie fortress and earthen town stone walls, thunder and lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the blades held by the Food Protection Army.

Inside Menghu Pass, the gates had opened. For several consecutive days, the pressure left the Three Armies Alliance breathless and unable to sleep soundly. The Blood Floating City had appeared once more at the pass, but this time, as they had barely emerged, a wave of overwhelming blood stench halted them, their vacant eyes gazing at the blood-colored night sky.

"Kill!"

At this moment, behind the incense table, under the downpour of blood rain, the biggest change was seen in the five thousand Food Protection Army stationed by Yang Gong at the pass, as well as the generals and strategists who understood the underlying reasons.

In the past, every time the Blood Floating City emerged, they had to avoid it. But this time, it seemed as though they could feel the murderous aura rising behind them. Suddenly, at someone's command, countless blades and spears thrust forward, hurling towards Menghu Pass.

The Blood Floating City specialized in killing at night; thus, the Three Armies broke through the pass in the night.

Rumble!

With the galloping of hooves and splattering of mud, inside Menghu Pass, both the Blood Floating City and the noble family private soldiers, as well as the varied experts within Xinghun Sect, felt their hearts seized with fear.

Especially the God-given King, who had always been invincible, despite bearing the immense pressure of the Blood Sea, which made him perpetually exhausted. But as long as he held on and brought out the Blood Floating City, no one in the realm was beyond his reach.

But only at this moment, as the burn offerings on the incense table at the pass, the iron armor felt unbearably heavy, forcing him to kneel on one knee on the ground.

Beside him, the Blood Floating City soldiers fell one after the other, lifeless, reverting back to the dead. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"How is this possible? Impossible!"

Facing the marching soldiers coming towards the pass, the God-given King gritted his teeth and stood up with determination. He alone raised his large knife, pointing towards the soldiers advancing, yelling hoarsely:

"I am the God-given King, born with divine magic, slaughtering countless. How dare you..."

"..."

Over the course of several days, he had been crushing through various forces, defeating more than a dozen invading armies, beheading a hundred thousand as a Fierce General, and dominating the noble families of Quzhou, openly cursing the Impermanence Li Family.

He believed that as long as he still had breath, no demon or ghost dared challenge him.

Yet now, as he wielded his knife and shouted, he was drenched with gold juice.

Several stone jars were hurled at him, covering him completely as he tried to wipe away the filth from his eyes, only for a spear to pierce straight through his chest, pinning him to the gate wall.

"Slaughtering the old and young, kowtowing to noble families, willing to be a tool, what kind of hero do you think you are..."

The young general who impaled him withdrew his spear and contemptuously shook it, spitting: "What are you?"

Saying this, he didn't even look back as he led the charge into Guanzhong, the Three Armies following, forming an overwhelming force. Inside Menghu Pass, private armies and experts of various paths trembled, some surrendering their weapons, others escaping in chaos.

Menghu Pass fell, the soldiers cheered loudly, some shouting the name of General Jinzhi who led the charge, others calling out the name of the Iron Threshold King who captured the city.

At this time, behind the army, in front of the incense table, the disciples of the Not Eating Beef Sect and various reincarnators performing the sacrifice to heaven felt a heavy sigh arise within their hearts, turning towards the center of the blood rain.

They faced the one who instigated this boundless massacre, clenching their fists in salute.

...

...

"Crack..."

In the underworld, Hu Ma raised a hand breaking the old well, and the Bloodstain Pond seemed to dry up halfway instantly, the surrounding white flag magic in tatters, mirroring the vacant expression of the Li Family's Housekeeper.

He stared vacantly at a new shadow appearing in the Bloodstain Pond, feeling all this beyond comprehension.

A duel of Magic never considered the Li Family could lose, expecting perhaps a minor setback or secret triumph, yet the current outcome...

The Li Family was utterly crushed.

It had always been the noble who killed the redundant, never the redundant killing the noble.

Therefore, he couldn't understand how those from the Path, who used the Bloodstain Pond to suppress the human world, now faced human killing intent suppressing the Bloodstain Pond...

At this time, Hu Ma also looked at a phantom appearing in the Bloodstain Pond, his heart heavy.

Yang Gong was his disciple, whom he often regarded as an ignorant commoner, yet he learned much better, making this decisive choice quickly...

With a low sigh, he no longer paid attention to the suffocating condition of the Impermanence Li Family's Great Master, instead directing his gaze towards Miss Red Wine, speaking.
