74: Chapter 74 It's a pity, I've never heard of it!

The Divine Martial Guard of today is not just ordinarily strong...

There are more than a dozen experts in the Land Immortal Realm alone.

Among them, most of the Monster Ancestors are in the Middle Stage or Late Stage of the Land Immortal Realm.

After being baptized by the Power of Imperial Fortune, although their Realm did not improve much, their own states have all been restored to their Peak periods.

Added to that are the several newly Breakthrough Human Race Land Immortals, such as Li Youming.

Even without counting Ge Nie.

Their strength has long since far surpassed that of the Wilderness World!

With over a dozen Land Immortals and hundreds of Celestial Realm experts attacking at the same time, the scene could be described as shocking the heavens and making the ghosts weep.

In just a single encounter, the Yankong Imperial City was reduced to ruins, and millions of people inside the Imperial City were killed or injured in an instant!

Because the incident happened suddenly, and the strength of the Divine Martial Guard was too powerful, the experts of the entire Wilderness World were unable to organize an effective defense at all.

The killing by the Divine Martial Guard was efficient and cold, yet also extremely targeted.

Their goal was very clear: to slay those experts above the Great Grandmaster Realm. As for ordinary Martial Artists, they were not their targets at all!

Within the Divine Martial Guard, the Celestial Realm experts were wantonly unleashing the power of heaven and earth. Sword Qi and blade auras crisscrossed, while fire and frost swept in all directions.

The Martial Skills of the Land Immortals were even more heaven-destroying and earth-shattering; every collision turned large areas of buildings into dust.

The entire scene could be described as earth-shaking and mountain-quaking!

However, the most tragic victims were not the experts directly targeted, but the countless ordinary Martial Artists and civilians who could not escape in time or were caught in the aftermath of the battle!

Even a trace of the aftermath leaking from the clash between Land Immortals and Celestial Realm experts was a catastrophic disaster for Grandmasters, Innate experts, and even ordinary people with no cultivation!

A stray Sword Qi flying off to the side could cut dozens of people on a street in half.

The energy impact from a single Martial Skill collision could shake a residential area, along with its inhabitants, into pulp!

The area-of-effect demon fire released by a Monster Ancestor could instantly burn hundreds of people and civilians attempting to put out the fire into charcoal!

Screams, wails, the roar of collapsing buildings, and the deafening sounds of energy explosions... all wove together into the most beautiful dirge of Hell.

At every moment, vibrant lives were withering away in meaningless collateral damage.

Amidst thick smoke and fire, in countless shattered families and countless desperate eyes, this tragic scene was formed.

"Ah——!!!"

Yuwen Tuo, the Emperor of Yankong, who witnessed all of this with his own eyes, was furious to the point of his eyes splitting, and his heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife!

These... these were all his subjects! These were the subjects that his Yuwen clan had ruled for hundreds of years!

Even after submitting to the "Star Remains Hall," even with the imperial power lost, deep in his heart, he still regarded this land and the people on it as his responsibility and Foundation.

But now, right before his eyes, his people were being ruthlessly harvested and crushed like grass!

The Imperial City had been directly reduced to ruins; it could be said that blood flowed like rivers and corpses piled up like mountains!

"Kill——!!!"

Extreme grief and indignation overwhelmed his reason and drowned out his fear of death.

Yuwen Tuo let out a beast-like roar, his eyes blood-red. He no longer cared about his own safety and forgot the immense gap in strength between the two sides.

He suddenly drew the sword at his waist, simultaneously burning all the Imperial Luck and life essence within his body.

Then he transformed into a determined stream of light, recklessly charging toward the nearest squad of the Divine Martial Guard!

He only wanted to kill! Even if it was just one! He wanted to exact a tiny... insignificant blood debt for his subjects and his Dynasty!

However, his charge was no different from a moth flying into a flame in the eyes of the Divine Martial Guard.

A Land Immortal Realm Divine Martial Guard, upon seeing the charging Yuwen Tuo, merely sneered and casually struck out a palm at him.

"Bang!"

The longsword in Yuwen Tuo's hand shattered, his chest collapsed, and blood sprayed wildly!

He flew backward at a speed faster than he had come, then slammed heavily into a pile of ruins, stirring up clouds of dust.

His tragic resistance failed to even stir up a slightly larger splash on this cruel battlefield.

And from beginning to end, those three envoys from the "Star Remains Hall" had been hiding in the shadows, watching coldly without intervening!

Now, the only thought in their minds was how to save their own lives! To escape this world that was about to be conquered or destroyed.

"Big Brother, that white-clothed swordsman is too strong! We are definitely no match for him!"

"That's right, Big Brother, how long have we been experiencing this carefree life? I cannot die here; I am reluctant to let it go!"

"Stop the damn nonsense! Do you think I can't see that? Do you think I'm willing to give up this kind of life? But what other choice do we have?"

"In a moment, both of you watch for my signal. We will sneak away from here, and then look for an opportunity to leave this world!"

For the three brothers, this world was simply not worth the risk. You must know, the more powerful or influential people are, the more they cherish their own lives!

Because they have all experienced that kind of extravagant life, they are simply unwilling to die. This is also the reason why some countries, after being repeatedly provoked, never dare to start a war!

Just as the three of them found an opportunity and were preparing to escape from Yankong Imperial City, a voice suddenly rang out in their ears.

"You three... where are you planning to go?"

The voice was not loud, but it felt like a biting cold wind blowing past, causing the three who were preparing to escape to freeze in place instantly!

"State your names and identities."

The three's little maneuvers could not escape Ge Nie's eyes at all. In fact, before he had even stepped out of the space passage, he had already noticed them.

Otherwise, how could his sword strike have happened to shatter the Formation Plate in their hands?

Three existences at the Peak of the Land Immortal Realm are like fireflies in the dark night; it would be difficult not to notice them!

The reason Ge Nie did not directly slay the three with one sword stroke was that he saw something different about them. Powerful strength, possession of treasures capable of opening space passages, and when encountering danger, their first thought was not to protect the people around them, but to flee. Even with one's backside, one could tell that these three were unusual!

"This... Senior, we three brothers are not people of this world. We were just passing by. Please continue with your business, there is no need to worry about us!"

Upon hearing the three's words, Ge Nie couldn't help but frown. "I will give you one last chance: state your names and identities!"

After Ge Nie finished speaking, a terrifying Sword Qi directly enveloped the three. The Sword Qi contained horrific killing intent, and the three had no doubt that if they did not tell the truth, they would be decapitated in the next moment!

"Senior... we three brothers are named Youxuan, Youming, and Yousha! We come from the Star Remains Hall!"

"We hope that Senior can consider the Face of our Star Remains Hall and spare us three brothers. We would be eternally grateful!"

Ge Nie could see that when the three mentioned the Star Remains Hall, a flash of pride appeared in their eyes. It seemed that the Star Remains Hall they spoke of must be a very powerful force.

"Oh? So you come from the Star Remains Hall! Unfortunately... this seat... has never heard of it!!"
