271: Closing the net

"Soldiers, now is the time to achieve glory and make a name for yourselves! Follow me and kill!"

A Yin Court Myriad Commander let out a roar that echoed through the clouds like a clap of thunder. Then, he was seen brandishing a large ghost-head saber, his Aura like a rainbow, akin to a fierce tiger descending a mountain. In just a few moves, he sliced a Ghoul general in half, his entire body bathed in blood, like a blood-soaked War God, striking fear into the surrounding Ghoul army.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The Yin Court soldiers behind him were greatly encouraged, raising their arms and shouting. Their long spears and sabers, like a sudden storm, slashed towards the oncoming Ghoul soldiers.

"Puff puff puff!"

"Ah..."

For a time, screams rose and fell, and many Ghoul soldiers were instantly cut down, blood splattering like blossoming red plum dots.

"You're courting death! Mere ants, daring to kill my Ghoul soldiers, unforgivable!"

A Ghoul Clan Quasi-Emperor, seeing this, moved to strike at the Yin Court soldiers.

"Puff!"

However, someone intervened and shattered the large hand he had conjured.

"Your opponent is this general!"

A Yin Court Ghoul General intercepted his attack and engaged him in battle. To avoid widespread casualties, both sides moved away from the battlefield.

Such situations occurred simultaneously in other places, with both sides' Quasi-Emperors consciously keeping the battlefield in the Void Realm.

Without the Quasi-Emperors, the battlefield below had no more restraints, and both sides erupted into an even more brutal battle.

On the battlefield, shouts of killing were deafening, and the armies of both sides collided like a tide.

The Ghoul Clan soldiers, with ferocious expressions, wielded their weapons and lunged at the enemy formation like hungry wolves.

Their eyes were filled with bloodlust and madness, as if they wanted to tear their enemies to shreds.

On the other side, the Yin Court soldiers were tightly arrayed, with shield-bearers in front and spearmen behind, forming a solid defensive line and steadily advancing.

When the Ghoul Clan soldiers charged, the Yin Court shield-bearers quickly raised their shields, blocking the enemy's attacks.

At the same time, the spearmen seized the opportunity to thrust their long spears, impaling the enemies to the ground.

In large-scale military operations, everything reverted to the most primitive form of combat. In such circumstances, let alone a Saint, even a Saint Monarch dared not fight outside the army.

It's easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow—this was not just an empty saying.

For a time, blood splattered across the battlefield, and the clang of weapons was incessant.

Roars and screams intertwined, sending shivers down one's spine.

As time passed, the Ghoul army began to show signs of defeat, being forced back step by step.

On one hand, the reserve corps was powerful, crushing the Ghoul Clan in both individual strength and battle formations; on the other hand, the Ghoul Clan couldn't leverage their numerical advantage, as their rear forces were covered by the First Regiment's firepower, suffering significant casualties with every step forward.

"Impossible!"

"How can this Yin Court be so powerful?"

Ghoul Revered Lord Chonghan's Face was grim, and a terrifying chill swept across the sky.

"Ghoul Lord, should we send in more troops?"

A general beside him asked.

The army that had set out earlier was naturally not the entire force, but only a billion soldiers. At this moment, behind him, a dense army was still waiting for orders!

"Ignore the front line. Dispatch three armies to bypass and attack the other city gates!"

"Yes!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

As the horn sounded, the rear army quickly split off three billion soldiers and pressed towards the other city gates.

"They actually split their forces. It seems Yin Le and the others will also get a share of the spoils!"

Yin Tong felt a bit regretful!

The First Regiment only defended the central part of the front. Other sections of the wall were guarded by two other legions.

Yin Tong said, "We need to be faster. This first victory must belong to our First Legion. Push the three regiments forward again!"

"Won't that be a bit rash?"

Yin Ku felt something was amiss.

Yin Tong confidently said, "No worries! This army should be from Chonghan Continent. The strongest among them is nothing more than a Peerless Quasi-Emperor. If he makes a move, the Regiment Commanders won't ignore it. As for the rest, I'm not afraid!"

No matter how numerous the Chonghan Continent army was, their high-end combat power was similar to the reserve corps. The legion they were facing did not have any Eternal Giants level experts.

Yin Ku, hearing this, had no further objections.

Thus, three more regiments were pushed forward, and in a blink of an eye, the battlefield became one-sided.

Almost at the moment of collision between the two armies, a large number of Ghoul soldiers were instantly slaughtered.

"Damn it!"

Ghoul Revered Lord Chonghan's Face turned ugly upon seeing this.

"Chong Dao, go and kill those Quasi-Emperor Perfection experts in the Void Realm for me!"

"Yes, Ghoul Lord!"

A Ghoul Marquis behind him quickly departed, soaring towards the Void Realm.

"Ghoul Revered Lord Chonghan is too careless! How could the Yin Court, which unified the Five Turbid Ghost Realm, be weak!"

Ghost Lord Chongquan said faintly.

"What should we do?" Ghoul Revered Lord Chonghuo asked.

"What should we do? Just watch!" Ghost Lord Chongquan spread his hands. "You know Ghoul Revered Lord Chonghan's temper. If we go up, he'll lose Face!"

Ghoul Revered Lord Chonghuo and Ghoul Revered Lord Chongyuan fell silent upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, at the center of the fortress.

"I thought some decent ones would come! Turns out, it's just these few pieces of trash!"

Lord Zhuo Yong frowned.

"Let's reel them in! Let's take down Chongquan Continent first. If we don't hurt them badly, they won't make a move!" Lord Tu Wei also said.

"Then let's reel them in!"

Lord Efeng frowned. The reason he waited here was in hopes of luring out Da Chong's Great Emperor. However, their imperial thoughts covered the entire Chongquan Continent, and there was no trace of a Great Emperor's will, which made him quite bored.

"Boom boom boom!"

The drumbeats from the center of the fortress suddenly became urgent. Yin Tong and the others, hearing this, had slight changes in their expressions; they knew exactly what this meant!

"Let's go!"

Yin Tong said, then took a step, instantly appearing on the battlefield.

"Rumble!"

With his appearance, an immense and terrifying Aura instantly erupted from him. For a time, the entire battlefield was enveloped in his pressure, and then he struck down with a palm.

"Eternal Giants!"

"No!!!"

The Ghoul army had no will to fight left and fled directly to the rear. But they hadn't taken many steps before their entire bodies were frozen in the Void Realm.

"Puff puff puff!"

One Ghoul after another, regardless of their Realm, exploded like fireworks at this moment.

"Bastard! Stop!"

A furious roar came, accompanied by a blood-colored ghost seal.

"Bang!"

Yin Ku appeared before the blood-colored ghost seal, punched it, and sent it flying back.

"Your opponent is me!"

Yin Ku directly broke through layers of the Void Realm, appeared before the Ghoul Marquis named Chong Dao, and engaged him in a fierce battle.

"Kill!"

Yin Tong looked down at the army below, leading them to press forward.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The Yin Court army's Aura was like a rainbow, following behind Yin Tong, chasing and hacking the Ghoul army all the way!

"Damn it! Kill him!"

Ghoul Revered Lord Chonghan was furious. Four Ghoul Marquises behind him charged towards Yin Tong.

However, as soon as they entered the Void Realm, they were blasted out like broken rags.

"What?"

Ghoul Revered Lord Chonghan's expression changed. He saw two terrifying Auras emerge from the front, and two figures with vast Auras appeared before him.

"You Da Chong are truly confident, to send only a few rotten fish and shrimp like you to intercept us!"

"Ghost Lord!"

Ghoul Revered Lord Chonghan was startled. The two people in front of him had the same strength as him, both Peerless Quasi-Emperors.

The person who had just spoken was a burly man with a powerful Aura no weaker than Ghoul Revered Lord Chonghan. He was Yin Hao, the Regiment Commander of Efeng's reserve corps.

"Kill!"

The two wasted no words and immediately pressed towards Ghoul Revered Lord Chonghan, while the four Ghoul Marquises were intercepted by the main and deputy Regiment Commanders of Efeng's other two legions.

"Attack!"

Ghost Lord Chongquan's expression changed upon seeing this, and he quickly tried to go forward to help. But the next moment, his body froze. The Void Realm in front of them was torn open, and more than a dozen figures appeared before them.

"Everyone, how can we let that kid Yin Hao have all the meat? Let's kill them!"

"I had the same idea!"

"Kill!"

These dozen figures instantly attacked, cutting off Ghost Lord Chongquan and their reinforcements.

"Charge!"

At the same time, from the torn Void Realm, legion formations emerged, striking at the Ghoul army below.

This great battle lasted for several months. The Ghoul army was defeated repeatedly. In just a few months, Chongquan Continent, Chonghuo Continent, and Chonghan Continent were successively breached. It wasn't until they occupied Chongyuan Continent that the Yin Court army stopped.

At this time, reinforcements from the Ghoul Tooth and Ghoul Red regions also arrived at the Ghoul Kingdom's capital, and a larger battle was quietly brewing.

Compared to the progress of E'feng's Third Army, Heavenly King Zhanmeng's progress was slow. At first, the Other Shore Kingdom was a bit careless.

But after losing one Ghost Lord, they quickly mobilized ten Ghost Lords and dozens of Ghoul Marquises, and even a Great Emperor was hidden behind the scenes. Therefore, both sides were in a stalemate for a time.
