512: All-out war breaks out, Chu Jiang fights Tian Kui

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Chu Jiang, wielding the Heaven Splitting Spear, moved through the army as if no one was there.

The Fire Kirin's hoof prints, on the scorched earth, bloomed into fiery lotuses with every step, incinerating the bodies of enemies.

Over a thousand Demon Suppression Elite Soldiers and thirty thousand Wolf Cavalry clashed with the Shaking Mountain Army.

In just a quarter of an hour,

thirty thousand Shaking Mountain Army soldiers were cut down by seven thousand, fleeing in disarray, retreating into the Formation under the cover of the giant stone statues.

"Commander, scouts from the front report that a large army is approaching, numbering over two hundred thousand, all elite troops no less formidable than the Shaking Mountain Army."

A soldier, holding a command arrow, rushed into the commander's tent to report.

"Two hundred thousand!"

The faces of everyone in the commander's tent changed slightly.

"Where did two hundred thousand troops come from? Where did two hundred thousand troops come from..."

An Elder of the Elder Council roared, his face ashen.

"Didn't intelligence say... it would take at least three days for Great Chu to react and send troops here?"

All of this required time, so how could it be that as soon as their Miao Territory's Nine Prison Town Empty Grand Formation opened, two hundred thousand elite troops arrived in Dian Prefecture?

Then, a rumbling sound.

Deafening hoofbeats came from afar.

The earth shook violently, and at the end of the world, two hundred and fifty thousand heavy armored cavalry, like a torrent, galloped across the land, a terrifying Evil Qi rushing towards them.

Among the army, several State Suppression Giant Cannons—Divine Energy Cannons—stood tall, their muzzles sinister; one shot was enough to kill a Half-Step Fusion Realm Cultivator and severely wound a Rongtian first-level expert.

Various other great killing weapons were hidden behind the army, difficult to discern.

Most conspicuously, four Vicious Beasts pulled a bronze war chariot, on which stood an old general in white robes, his Aura steady; this was Wu Qi, the commander-in-chief of the two hundred and fifty thousand elite troops.

"Greetings, Old General Wu Qi."

Chu Jiang put away his Heaven Splitting Spear, looked at Wu Qi, and slightly cupped his hands.

Wu Qi was a contemporary of the Chu Emperor, having once followed him in battles, guarding the border, and deeply trusted by the Chu Emperor.

"Young Master Chu, no need for formalities. If it weren't for you, this old man wouldn't have had this opportunity to continue contributing."

Wu Qi laughed heartily. He had naturally heard of Chu Jiang's name long ago. The number one Prodigy of Great Chu, truly deserving of the title, who wouldn't know him?

...

Miao Territory military camp.

The two hundred and fifty thousand elites brought them immense pressure.

"Grand Elder, how are the War Gods prepared?"

Agu Tuo asked in a deep voice. Although the Miao Territory's forces seemed to outnumber them, with the addition of the Three Mountains Nine Caves' guard army, they had a total of three hundred and fifty thousand, seven or eight tens of thousands more than the enemy.

But once fighting began, the Miao Territory would definitely be at a disadvantage.

The opponent had two hundred and fifty thousand elites, while two hundred thousand of the Miao Territory's forces were garrison legions from various counties, their combat power simply incomparable to the enemy.

Although the Heavenly Soldier Gu Poison Grand Formation could bridge this gap, what they wanted was to kill as many enemies as possible at the lowest cost, severely damaging the Great Chu Army.

"No need to worry. The Elder Council has already completed the creation of fifteen hundred War Gods, each impervious to blades and spears, enough to turn the tide."

Gu Tiancheng said calmly.

Upon hearing this,

everyone felt their hearts settle. With the War Gods' assistance, they would surely leave the enemy utterly defeated.

The two armies faced each other, with a total of five hundred thousand soldiers, stretching as far as the eye could see, a dense, dark mass.

On the Miao Territory's main command platform,

"All generals, heed my command! Deploy the Heavenly Soldier Gu Poison Grand Formation and annihilate the invading enemy!"

Agu Tuo, clad in battle armor, personally mobilized three hundred thousand troops. As the Formation Flags flew, the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi surged, and a terrifying Formation took shape before everyone. Generals, Gu Cultivators, and Poison Cultivators entered the military Formation, and instantly, dark clouds gathered.

"Blood God Grand Formation!"

"Myriad Manifestations Grand Formation!"

"World Purifying Green Lotus Grand Formation!"

As an Old General, Wu Qi's reaction was swift. The three Formations were deployed simultaneously to counter the enemy.

The Blood God Grand Formation could temporarily boost one's vitality and accelerate wound healing.

The Myriad Manifestations Grand Formation could greatly increase the soldiers' strength and defense, allowing them to unleash power far beyond their current capabilities.

The World Purifying Green Lotus Grand Formation, on the other hand, was designed to counter the Miao Territory's Gu poison, minimizing its threat.

These had all been researched in advance. This combination of three Formations could effectively counter the methods of the Miao Territory Elder Council.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, without any wasted words, immediately began to clash.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Various great killing weapons began to bombard each other.

"Kill!"

Wu Qi roared, like a tiger's roar and a Dragon's cry, echoing across the entire battlefield.

"Ang—"

Thousands of Miao Territory soldiers in front clutched their ears, their heads throbbing with pain.

"Sound wave martial arts, quite interesting."

Chu Jiang's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he watched Wu Qi make his move. His strength had already half-stepped into the second level of the Law Domain, placing him on the same level as Zu Cang.

Just at this moment,

the heavens and earth rumbled, and a terrifying demonic shadow, like a towering mountain, stepped out of the Void Realm from the direction of the sacred mountain, as if the anti-air restriction here had no effect on him.

Then,

an unparalleled Great Demon, its scales impervious, its twin pupils like blood moons, trod on demonic earth, with hundreds of flesh and blood monsters behind it, the Interminable Blood Nest opened, attempting to demonize Human Race Cultivators.

It was Demon General Tian Kui.

"So much delicious food! This place is simply my paradise!"

Demon General Tian Kui was exceptionally joyful.

"It's a Demon Commander Realm demon..."

Bathed War, who was in the midst of battle, held his breath. This demon in front of him, judging by its Aura, was at least at the fifth level of the Demon Commander Realm, extremely powerful.

Even if suppressed by the Nine Prison Town Empty Grand Formation, the power he unleashed could easily kill a Half-Step Fusion Realm Cultivator like him.

How could such a terrifying demon appear within the Miao Territory?

"Commander Fu, quickly have your superior contact the Imperial Old Ancestor!"

Bathed War said in a deep voice. Great Chu dared to pacify the Miao Territory, so it was impossible for them to send only Chu Jiang and his group; there must be high-level combat power.

The Miao Territory had a Gu King, a Great Shaman, and now another Demon Commander Realm demon. Chu Jiang alone would find it difficult to contend.

"No need to worry. My superior will handle this demon."

Fu Yunxuan's beautiful face was frosty, her battle saber stained with blood, as she simply replied.

Bathed War grew anxious. Why weren't Chu Jiang's subordinates worried at all? This was an unparalleled Great Demon, close to the Late Stage of the Demon Commander Realm.

Just then,

Whoosh!

A saber gleam flashed, and the Tai Zu Golden Saber, shining on the iron armor, appeared in Chu Jiang's hand.

Boom!

With the saber in hand, Chu Jiang's Aura surged, like a mighty river, shaking the nine heavens.

Bang!

Chu Jiang's figure, stepping through the Void Realm, shifted through space, instantly a thousand meters away, breaking the sound barrier.

Three Absolute Divine Blades' third blade—Absolute Divine!

The sinister blood clouds and demonic mycelium rushing towards the Great Chu Army were largely shattered by Chu Jiang's Saber Qi before they could even get close.

"Chu Jiang, you... how is this possible? How can you, a Heaven and Earth Realm Cultivator, tear apart my innate Divine Ability?"

Demon General Tian Kui's face showed an unusual expression for the first time. The Aura of this Human Race Prodigy was actually not weaker than his, and it was even still rising.

"Damn it, Lord Shao Si's Aura is actually not weaker than that terrifying demon."

Bathed War was dumbfounded. How on earth did this person Cultivate? It was simply terrifying. This combat power was probably unmatched even by the Eternal Mother, who was number one on the Heavenly Ranking.

At this moment, Bathed War straightened his back. With Lord Shao Si, this astonishing Prodigy, in Great Chu, what was there to fear from all the demons in the world?

Within the Miao Territory's military Formation, everyone's faces also changed drastically. Those who had just been clamoring to behead Chu Jiang were now all silent.

Even if suppressed, Chu Jiang's combat power was enough to sweep through thousands of troops, and it would be very difficult to trap and kill him by relying on numbers.

"Chu Jiang, I just used fifty percent of my power. Do you really think you can rival me? Let me show you what it means for there to be a demon beyond a demon, and a heaven beyond a heaven..."

Demon General Tian Kui began to speak, but before his words were fully out, Chu Jiang took a step, instantly shifting his position, and the Tai Zu Golden Saber tore through the sky, striking at Demon General Tian Kui once more.

"I will grant your wish!"

Chu Jiang's saber light illuminated the world. The Overlords Supreme Blade, carrying Overlord Protective Aura and heavenly anomalous lightning, caused the surrounding space to be torn apart, filled with lightning and fire cracks.

Demon General Tian Kui also extended his hand, unleashing a palm strike, an endless Evil Qi condensing into a palm.

Bang!

After a collision, Demon General Tian Kui was directly sent flying backward, half of his arm trembling, Saber Qi raging, shattering the demon's Meridians, and large amounts of demonic blood splattering into the Void Realm.

He flew back hundreds of meters before barely managing to stop.

Silence...

Whether in the Miao Territory camp or the Great Chu camp, everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned.

The Elder Council's people had ugly expressions.

The expected scenario of Chu Jiang being killed by a single punch did not occur; instead, the terrifying demon was repeatedly frustrated.

Damn it, who exactly is the demon? Show some grandmaster Aura!!! (#` dish´)
