404: Chapter 404 The Decisive Battle of Luoyan City, King Against King

In front of them was a valley, and a large number of troops were stationed at the valley entrance.

The soldiers had their Qi-Breaking Arrows notched, waiting for the command to fire ten thousand arrows simultaneously into the valley.

Inside the valley, nearly ten thousand defeated soldiers were in a state of utter wretchedness, their faces filled with panic.

How could they have been defeated so inexplicably?

Above the mountain peak, General Ye Wudi hovered in the air and spoke toward the valley: "This Commander gives you ten breaths of time. If you do not surrender, what awaits you will be the Qi-Breaking Arrows!"

"I, Ye Wudi, am a man of my word. As long as you surrender, your lives will be spared!"

This put immense pressure on the defeated army in the valley.

"One... three..."

Just then, as he looked at the figures galloping in from the distance, his voice stopped. A voice came from within the valley: "I am willing to surrender!"

The cries of surrender were many; the defeated army collapsed and all surrendered!

"Go and subdue them, then report back to me!" General Ye Wudi said indifferently to the lieutenant beside him.

"Yes!" The lieutenant then departed.

Galloping toward the distance, he spoke: "To report to Your Majesty, the last army of the Mu Lan Empire's Fourth Legion has been completely subdued by me!"

"Good, not bad!" Hun Tiandi said with a smile.

"Long live our King! Long live! Long live!"

The soldiers below, knowing the figures were arriving, immediately knelt in worship after taking control of the captives!

"The soldiers have worked hard!" Hun Tiandi stood up and shouted loudly.

"It was not hard!" the soldiers shouted excitedly.

"Untie him!" Hun Tiandi said.

"Yes." Subsequently, the Legion Commander of the Fourth Legion was untied. That Legion Commander looked on in confusion.

"Go back and tell the Mulan Emperor to wait for this King at Luoyan City to take his life!" Hun Tiandi said coldly.

Hun Tiandi's voice struck fear into the Legion Commander's heart, and he flew away into the distance.

Boom!

The Mulan Emperor was furious. Standing before him were several ministers and the Legion Commander of the Fourth Legion who had returned from the front lines!

"Four legions, completely wiped out in less than a month. Over two million men—even if they were two million pigs, it would take more than a month to slaughter them all, and you have the face to say you did your best..."

"Your Majesty, I am the only one who returned alive. The First Legion, Second Legion, and Third Legion commanders all died in the line of duty!"

"General Ye Wudi's troop leading is too bizarre..."

The Fourth Legion Commander smiled bitterly.

"Everyone, what good strategies do you have?" the Mulan Emperor inquired.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that group of people from the Heavenly Snake Sect in Luoyan City?" a minister said.

"Let Mo She deploy the Ten Thousand Snake Array to clash with the army of the Dazheng Dynasty, resulting in mutual destruction?" The Mulan Emperor's expression shifted.

"Your Majesty is wise!" the minister smiled.

Inside a valley, dark green mist permeated, obscuring vision. It was cold and gloomy, and Qing Yue, who was beside him, sensed something.

"Snakes?" Qing Yue said softly.

"Ten Thousand Snake Array?" Hun Tiandi sneered.

"Since this gentleman recognizes the Ten Thousand Snake Array?" A sound came from within the mist.

"Rumor has it this array is a peak array, Ten Thousand Snakes Devouring the Soul. Why are there only these low-grade little worms here?"

Hun Tiandi said with a smile.

"Since you look down on this array, then enter it!" The voice came again.

Roar!

The Horned Dragon behind him roared, carrying matchless wind-attribute Dou Qi. A hurricane swept through, dispersing the dark green mist in front of them.

Puff!

Then, the Horned Dragon spat water, washing over the Ten Thousand Snake Array. The flood was like a tide; the ten thousand snakes could not resist, and the formation shattered.

The world's energy all around was flowing and collapsed instantly.

Swish!

"Seven Luminaries Mystic Eyes, open!" Qing Yue's figure flickered. She closed her eyes and then suddenly snapped them open, turning them into black hole abysses that erupted with a powerful devouring force.

To Qing Yue, the magical beasts of the Ten Thousand Snake Array were a great supplement.

They turned into pure energy and entered her body, causing her aura to skyrocket.

Boom!

While she was devouring the ten thousand snakes, a figure stepped out from the nearby darkness. It was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Snake Sect, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This little girl's eyes? Could they be the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?"

The Heavenly Snake Sect Master said in surprise. Back then, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had brought back a little girl to be cultivated as the core, to lead the Heavenly Serpent Mansion in the future.

Regrettably, for the sake of freedom, she gave it all up and left the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

After devouring the Ten Thousand Snake Array, Qing Yue's strength surged, and she advanced to the peak of a Nine-star Dou Huang, just one step away from becoming a super expert.

Dou Zong!

That was an existence of another world.

Kill!

Hun Tiandi gave the order, and the experts behind him flew out, pouncing toward the Heavenly Snake Sect Master. Within the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, this Sect Master, who had just made his first appearance, was beaten to death!

"Depart for Luoyan City!"

Roar...

The five million soldiers roared in unison and headed toward Luoyan City. The purpose of this trip was to seize Luoyan City and annihilate the Mu Lan Empire.

Decisive battle at Luoyan City!

In the distance was a massive city. Although not as tall as the cities in the Central Plains, its walls were still five hundred meters high. Above Luoyan City...

There was no Providence Statue of a Celestial Dynasty, nor a Providence Golden Dragon of an Imperial Court, but there was the brilliant, surging golden providence of a Royal Dynasty.

The providence spiraled, faint yet vast, with a grand momentum, a true scene of a Royal Dynasty.

Hun Tiandi's army arrived, coming from the Black-Corner Region in a grand and majestic manner.

Dressed in a golden dragon robe, he sat on the dragon throne, hands resting on both sides, gazing coldly into the distance.

Above Luoyan City.

The Mulan Emperor, in his dragon robe, stood proudly above the city. Several people stood beside him, and he scanned them one by one.

Beside him was a person completely shrouded in black robes—the Grand Empress of the Mu Lan Empire, who practiced a certain terrifying cultivation technique.

Beside her was Crown Prince Lanjing.

Hun Tiandi looked directly at the distant Mulan Emperor, and at the same time, the Emperor looked directly at him.

The two Emperors faced each other coldly from a great distance.

"Mulan Emperor!" Hun Tiandi said coldly.

"Hun Tiandi!" the Mulan Emperor said.

"Hun Tiandi, if you want to seize my Empire's providence, an army alone won't suffice. King against King must also duel. Let's go!" the Mulan Emperor shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi's sword-like brows twitched. To seize the providence, he indeed had to defeat the Mulan Emperor.

"Proceed according to plan!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Subsequently, the people of the Dazheng Dynasty began to move.

Blood-colored Dou Qi Wings unfolded behind him as he sped toward the west. The two of them needed an absolutely quiet place where no one would disturb them.

An hour later, the two arrived at a valley filled with jagged rocks. They landed on two high mountains.

"In ten years, to have actually reached the Dou Wang level from the Great Dou Master level is truly admirable!"

The Mulan Emperor said.

"Mulan Emperor, a Half-step Dou Zong, establishing an Imperial Court—you are truly not simple. In the Central Plains, every Imperial Court ruler is a Nine-star Dou Huang!"

"What, do you think you can defeat me?" the Mulan Emperor said coldly.

"Half-step Dou Zong? It is indeed very strong and hard to kill, but not impossible!" Hun Tiandi said chillingly.

"Blood God Body, open!"

"Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method, fourfold!"

He whispered. Suddenly, a blood-red light flashed from Hun Tiandi. His hair turned blood-red, and an illusory rune appeared on his brow, carrying an aura of evil.

The third layer of the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method, four times the power.

It gave him power at the Dou Huang level, but for his embryonic Blood God Body, it was somewhat difficult to bear.

In that instant, a wild wind kicked up around Hun Tiandi. With his body as the center, his momentum exploded upward.

The Mulan Emperor frowned, watching Hun Tiandi's aura surge wildly.

His eyes were blood-shot, his muscles bulged, and even his dragon robe was stretched tight.

Crack...

The bones throughout his body were shifting, making crisp sounds. If not for the tempering of his sword intent and the condensation of his Sword Bone, he would absolutely have been unable to bear it.
