926: Fireflies in decaying grass, nothing special.

"How audacious!"

Lin Qinghuang uttered two words with an indifferent expression, then took a step, instantly appearing outside the flying boat.

Boom!

A fierce aura erupted from her, and the dozen or so light beams that had been attacking were instantly shattered.

"Continue the attack."

The Middle-aged General's face sank.

Buzz!

More than a dozen warships charged up their power again.

"Void Finger!"

Lin Qinghuang casually extended her hand, and Void Dao Principles erupted from her body as she launched a finger strike.

Buzz!

In the Void Realm, a giant gray handprint instantly appeared, shooting towards the warships ahead, and wherever it passed, space continuously shattered.

Rumble!

The sky shattered, and more than a dozen warships were instantly reduced to dust; apart from the Middle-aged General, all other soldiers were annihilated.

"What kind of finger technique is this? It can actually shatter space?"

The Middle-aged General, covered in blood, showed a look of horror in his eyes.

In his understanding, only Saints and stronger cultivators could shatter space, or by using powerful Sacred Artifacts and supreme emperor artifacts.

Alternatively, one could use special Cultivation Techniques, such as the Void Scripture of the Lin Clan, one of the Four Great Imperial Clans, which could shatter the Void Realm and even allow one to travel through space at will.

Lin Qinghuang looked down at the Middle-aged General: "Get over here and die!"

"Damn it!"

The Middle-aged General's eyes sharpened, he gripped his long saber, and the pressure of a Kou Gong Peak expert erupted.

"Border Suppressing Slash!"

The Middle-aged General roared, suddenly charging in front of Lin Qinghuang, slashing down with his saber. A ten-thousand-meter-long golden Saber Qi erupted, extremely ferocious.

"Firefly glow in decayed grass, nothing more!"

Lin Qinghuang's eyes were devoid of any ripple as she extended two fingers, instantly clamping the incoming long saber and neutralizing all its power.

"What?"

The Middle-aged General's eyes showed shock.

He was, after all, at the Kou Gong Realm Peak; his full-power saber strike was actually blocked bare-handed by the opponent?

Bang!

Lin Qinghuang snapped her fingers, and the long saber was directly broken.

She gripped half of the blade, and her figure moved, instantly flashing past the Middle-aged General.

The half-blade was chillingly sharp, tearing through space, and suddenly pierced through the Middle-aged General's neck.

Pfft!

Before the Middle-aged General could react, his head had already flown high into the air, blood spurting out like a water column, his eyes filled with terror.

Rip!

Lin Qinghuang stabbed backhand, and the half-blade pierced through the flying head. The head was instantly shattered into a bloody mist by the Saber Qi, leaving only a remnant Divine Soul.

"..."

Lin Qinghuang grabbed the remnant Divine Soul and directly performed soul-searching.

A few breaths later.

Lin Qinghuang crushed the remnant Divine Soul, returned to the flying boat, and looked at Xie Weilou: "They were sent by General Zhenbei Gu Chenggang."

Xie Weilou smiled faintly: "I killed General Zhenbei's son before, so it's normal for him to send people."

As they left Eastern Desolation City, those with intentions would certainly have known long ago, and even made arrangements in advance.

Lin Qinghuang said calmly: "Since it's trouble, let's eradicate it at the source."

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "Then let's go directly to Northern Prefecture City!"

Whoosh!

The flying boat turned into an afterimage, rushing forward... Half an hour later.

Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang arrived outside a massive gray ancient City.

This ancient City was precisely Northern Prefecture City, where three hundred thousand Zhenbei Army soldiers were stationed. The City walls were towering, and many soldiers stood upon them.

This City was quite peculiar, sealed by a large Formation, with faint black light emerging.

Lin Qinghuang scanned the City ahead and mused, "Something is wrong with this City; it contains Death Qi..."

Xie Weilou released his Divine Soul, directly observing the situation within the ancient City through the Formation.

A moment later.

He frowned: "There's a large army garrisoned in this City, but no civilians."

Normally, a City would certainly have civilians. The City before them had many buildings and traces of civilian life, but not a single civilian could be seen inside.

Imperceptibly, he sensed a peculiar Death Qi, and a dark aura, hidden deep within the ancient City!

Whoosh!

Just then, a bronze carriage drove onto the City wall.

Inside the carriage was a young man in silver-white armor with an effeminate face. He held two young women, whose faces were pale, nervously pouring him wine.

"Greetings, Young General."

The soldiers on the City wall all bowed to the man in the carriage.

This young man was not simple; he was Gu Chenggang's adopted son, Gu Yunyi, with a cultivation at the Late Stage of Gui Xu.

Originally, Gu Yunting was the Young General, but unfortunately, Gu Yunting was killed, so Gu Yunyi took over the position of Young General.

Gu Yunyi embraced the two beauties as he stepped down from the carriage. He looked outside the City, his gaze falling on Xie Weilou, and with a playful smile, he asked, "Is the person who came Xie Weilou? Let me introduce myself, my name is Gu Yunyi, and I am the Young General here!"

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently: "Is This Xie's reputation so great now? I didn't expect even a small fry to know me."

Gu Yunyi's face sank upon hearing this, then he sneered: "You killed my elder brother, Gu Yunting, so I naturally have heard of your great name. Since you dare to come here today, this general will make this your burial ground!"

News had already arrived that Xie Weilou had left Eastern Desolation City, and his destination might be the Great Desolation, thus he would likely pass through the Northern Prefecture territory.

Gu Chenggang had already given orders that Xie Weilou must die in Northern Prefecture, no matter what!

Actually, Xie Weilou killing Gu Yunting had helped him greatly; if Gu Yunting hadn't died, how could he, Gu Chenggang's adopted son, have become the Young General?

However, today, Xie Weilou must die. As long as Xie Weilou was killed, Gu Chenggang would certainly think highly of him!

Xie Weilou looked at Gu Yunyi: "You, a Late Stage Gui Xu cultivator, are not qualified to say such things. Have Gu Chenggang come out and speak."

"You are quite arrogant."

Gu Yunyi's smile was sinister. He waved his sleeve and coldly said, "Where are the Earth Owl Guards?"

Boom!

As Gu Yunyi's voice fell, three thousand soldiers in blood-colored armor flew out of the City, directly blocking the area outside the City.

These soldiers had blood-colored scales on their bodies and numerous blood-colored runes on their faces. Their eyes glowed with a bloody light, appearing extremely brutal, and they carried Death Qi and a dark power.

Gu Yunyi looked at the three thousand Earth Owl Guards and said with a sinister smile: "These Earth Owl Guards are the secret weapon of my Zhenbei Army. Their Physical Bodies are sturdy, their strength astonishing, like Yao Beasts. Any one of them has the power to fight a thousand. Today, I'll let you, Xie Weilou, experience it thoroughly."

He then looked at Lin Qinghuang next to Xie Weilou, his eyes burning as he said, "This young lady is truly beautiful, she truly makes one's heart stir!"

Xie Weilou looked at Gu Yunyi with indifference, his eyes filled with killing intent: "Just for that sentence, today this Northern Prefecture City will be utterly devastated."

"Is that so? Kill him for me."

Gu Yunting smiled and waved his hand.

"Roar!"

The three thousand Earth Owl Guards roared like Yao Beasts, instantly pouncing towards Xie Weilou...
