376: Empress Yan Yuzhu, that name is their nightmare!

Bang!

A figure descended from the sky, landing on a mountain peak.

Situ Kuanglei!

His long hair fluttered, his spread beard was like a raging lion, and his entire body was filled with a fierce Evil Qi!

After one exchange with Ox Mountain, both were evenly matched, neither gaining the slightest advantage!

They were both experts of the same Realm, having fought numerous times before. It was impossible to determine a victor in a short period, a fact well known to the experts on both sides!

"Hahaha! Situ Kuanglei, you are old, and your fist Qi is nothing special! Want to kill me? Let the Empress come!"

Ox Mountain's hundred-zhang body stood majestically on the mountaintop, his aura surging like giant waves, annihilating everything in its path!

This was an expert who had already stepped into the Soul Palace Realm!

In this Border Wilderness Region, possessing such strength was almost enough to control everything.

But even a ruthless character like Situ Kuanglei held some apprehension in his heart.

The Human Race body could never be compared to Demons. Often, experts of the same level could not directly contend with these ancient, lingering Demons.

Yet, Situ Kuanglei had managed to do so, even standing as an equal, which was a rare sight!

However!

So what?

In this battle today, Great Qi absolutely had no hope!

Relying on one Situ Kuanglei simply couldn't stop them. There were too many Demons and Ghostly Entities present whose strength was comparable to Situ Kuanglei's!

After all, experts from twenty Imperial Dynasties were here; Great Qi, with the strength of one nation, found it hard to resist.

Boom!

Suddenly, above their heads, the clouds exploded, and a terrifying beam of light descended from the sky, targeting Ox Mountain!

The light came very quickly, almost before anyone could react, it transformed into a giant hand and landed directly on Ox Mountain's head!

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out, and the head, as large as a house, was directly plucked off.

Ox Mountain, who had just been so imposing and arrogant, instantly collapsed onto the mountains like a pile of mud.

A hundred-zhang body, how enormous! It crashed among the mountains, blood gushing out, nourishing this land.

The plants on the ground, absorbing this Demonic blood, grew wildly!

"Empress! Empress Yan Yuzhu has arrived!"

The Ghostly Dao expert, shrouded in black Qi, trembled. His gaze turned to the sky, his voice tinged with fear.

Empress Yan Yuzhu, that name was their nightmare!

The reason Great Qi could resist the Demons, and later suppress them until they were forced to flee, was because Empress Yan Yuzhu was too terrifying!

The destruction of five Sects was an eternal nightmare in their hearts!

Countless Demons looked up at the sky. Most of them had only heard of the Empress; few knew how strong she truly was.

Only those who participated in that great battle half a year ago knew how strong the Empress was.

They saw the clouds part, and a figure slowly descended from the sky. Her long dress fluttered, and her snow-white skin shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, with an unparalleled majesty within its cold serenity. She was like a divine maiden descended to the mortal world, transcendent and peerless, inspiring no thought of profanity.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Situ Kuanglei, Xie Tianjian, and Xuanyuan Longcheng all saluted Yan Yuzhu.

Hundreds of thousands of Eight Directions Dragon Suppressing Division soldiers knelt on one knee, their rolling roar sweeping out in all directions like a surging tide.

This was reverence for the Empress; Great Qi's rapid rise was largely due to Empress Yan Yuzhu!

Without her guarding this land, it would have been impossible to resist the ravages of Demons and Ghostly Dao practitioners.

"Rise!"

Yan Yuzhu landed on the mountain peak. The giant head in her hand had already shattered and vanished. Her slender, fair hands looked delicate and powerless, but who would dare underestimate her?

That would be a death wish!

Ox Mountain was a prime example!

Upon seeing this scene, the Demons and Ghostly Entities all revealed solemn expressions. Some trembled with fear, staring in horror at this exquisitely beautiful woman.

"Is this the Empress's strength? Heavenly Phenomenon Realm... Then how can we possibly stop her? Isn't this courting death?"

"What are you afraid of? Since Yan Yuzhu has appeared, those experts will naturally show themselves. Someone will deal with her."

"Great Qi is doomed today; Yan Yuzhu cannot stop it!"

The Demons and Ghostly Entities all exuded a violent Evil Qi, suppressing the slight unease they had felt earlier.

"Yan Yuzhu, you rejoice too soon!"

"Everyone, if we destroy Great Qi today, the Holy Sect's gate will open for us! Charge with me!"

A Sect Master of a Demon Sect stepped forward, a surging, mighty aura erupting from him like a volcano, shooting straight into the sky.

At this point, all superfluous talk was useless; strength was the fundamental basis of everything!

No one had a way out!

Boom boom boom!

Behind the Eight Directions Dragon Suppressing Division, a fierce drumbeat resounded. The drums, like thunder, shook with heavenly might, igniting the Battle Intent of all Great Qi's experts!

These were the war drums of the Eight Directions Dragon Suppressing Division!

Made from the hide of a Savage Dragon, they inspired fighting spirit, making them invincible!

"Eight Directions Dragon Suppressing Division, battle!"

"Battle! Battle! Battle!"

Xuanyuan Longcheng waved his commander's flag, and the Eight Directions Dragon Suppressing Division, this large force composed of Cultivators, immediately sprang into action.

Armor clanked, weapons were drawn, and Killing Intent was fierce!

The Evil Qi forged through countless charges on the battlefield poured out, and an indescribable might instantly erupted!

"Kill!"

The Three Departments Experts, as well as Cultivators from various Schools in the Jianghu, leaped up and charged towards the countless Demons and Ghostly Entities.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourselves! Cultivators of one nation, do you really think you can contend with us? Everyone, kill!"

The Demons and Ghostly Dao practitioners were completely fearless!

They were all beings who had cultivated for many years. In terms of cultivation, which one of them didn't far surpass the Cultivators of the Eight Directions Dragon Suppressing Division?

To them, this was no different from slaughtering ordinary commoners.

Humans were merely blood food to them!

Boom boom boom!

Terrifying auras swept across the sky!

Clouds gathered, and even the scorching sun was obscured.

A cold, eerie Qi permeated the entire mountain range. Beneath the overwhelming mist, almost no light could be seen.

Woooo woooo woooo—

Countless Yin Evil Ghostly Entities howled, cold winds raged, and Death Qi swept across the battlefield!

Terrifying ghost cities emerged, chilling phantom images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood enveloped the land, and Ghostly Entities surged out overwhelmingly, like sharks drawn to the scent of blood, charging towards Great Qi's soldiers.

"Your Majesty, we are off!"

Xuanyuan Longcheng, Situ Kuanglei, and Xie Tianjian bowed in farewell.

They did not know if they would return from this journey.

But this was a responsibility they could not abandon, a blood-soaked duty to protect their land!

"Mm!"

Yan Yuzhu waved her hand. Her opponents were not these people.
