203: Death!! (Second update, please give me a monthly ticket)
A single drop landed on a certain rock, instantly blowing it apart.
For a time, the entire valley was bombarded by thunder, with explosions echoing.
At this moment, a Thunder Dragon in the sky, sweeping with a silver sea of thunder, stirred up monstrous waves and rolling thunderous plasma, causing the Void Realm to tremble as if the world was being destroyed.
Then, Li Wuchang suddenly roared loudly.
"Saber Mountain!"
As soon as he spoke, a blood-colored mountain peak, seventy to eighty feet high, rose from beneath his feet. More accurately, it resembled a giant Saber, with a thin, sharp peak and a slender body!
Then, the blood mountain soared into the sky, crashing fiercely into the thunderous waves that covered two to three miles.
"Boom!"
An incomparable, dazzling spiritual light exploded, and then the sea of thunder and the Saber Mountain merged together. The two individuals' Dao Fields clashed, creating a magnificent spectacle.
The battle was completely on a different level than a Dao Soldier Realm fight.
And this valley, spanning about ten miles, instantly shook and trembled. Cracks began to appear on the rock walls surrounding the valley, and the forests and small hills below were leveled by the violent Qi.
Around the valley, neighing sounds of horses echoed.
A sharp whistle sounded.
"Maintain Formation!"
"Retreat two miles!"
The great battle between two Dao Fruit Realm experts, utilizing the power of Dao, was too violent, and the grand Formation formed by the surrounding troops quickly began to tremble.
The four vice-This Generals quickly urged the Dao Soldiers to send spiritual light into the grand Formation to stabilize it, their gazes intently fixed on the center of the Formation, hoping to find an opportunity to assist Commander Pei, but they found that they could not intervene in a battle of this level.
It was completely a contest of the grand forces of heaven and earth!
Just like that, the Saber Mountain and the Thunder Dragon collided, with lightning and Saber Qi scattering wildly, leaving the entire area ravaged and desolate.
After about half a stick of incense, the blood-red Saber Mountain was struck flying by a claw of thunder from within the valley.
As the Saber Mountain was struck flying, the Li Family vassal standing upon it showed a normal flush on his face, then a fierce expression appeared, and he turned, taking the Saber Mountain, and crashed into the Formation Flag in the southern sky.
"Boom!"
A loud noise.
The flag Formation suddenly bulged outwards, and with a "crack," a fissure appeared. From the southern cliff, hundreds of armored soldiers trembled, grunted, and fell off their horses.
At this moment, a thick purple lightning bolt suddenly struck Li Wuchang's Saber Mountain, sending it flying again.
With the Dao Fruit connected to his heart, Li Wuchang spat out a mouthful of blood this time.
"I told you, no one can stop me," he spat out the blood, his face grim. Ignoring his injuries, he charged fiercely towards the same spot with a desperate resolve.
Meanwhile, outside the valley, streaks of light flew over.
After all, this place was only eighty miles from Jinguancheng.
Figures, one after another, gasped at the earth-shattering scene.
"Dao Fruit Realm!"
"It's Commander Pei from the Fushi; he actually made a move himself."
"Looking at the previous recording, that person is a vassal of the Li Family from the Central Plains. It's hard to imagine that a mere vassal has also achieved the Dao Fruit Realm. What kind of power is this Li Family? Is the Central Plains martial Dao really that prosperous?"
"..."
Voices rose and fell.
Among the arriving crowd, several figures were scattered at various high points in the sky, their eyes either surprised, narrowed, or full of interest.
These were the disciples who had come from the imperial court earlier!
The Li Family vassal had killed someone from the Zhao Family, and this Town Demon Envoy had dispatched so many troops to intercept this Li Family vassal, clearly having prepared in advance. The matter seemed a bit strange.
At this moment, with a loud bang, a large hole was punched through the southern flag Formation.
A disheveled figure shot out from within.
However, the next second, a furious roar sounded.
"Damn it!"
Outside this flag Formation, there was another grand Formation, with dense ranks of armored soldiers, glaring menacingly.
And Li Wuchang looked again, seeing dense figures in the distant sky.
Pairs of eyes, from above and below, watched his discomfiture, seemingly with mockery and scrutiny.
Among them were also several familiar figures who had come from the Central Plains with him, but those people remained indifferent, coldly watching him like a stray dog, even with disdain.
This made his face contorted, almost to the point of madness, but at this moment, a Dragon roar sounded.
Li Wuchang's expression changed, and he let out a loud cry, flashing away from his original position.
Half a stick of incense later, a scream.
In the sky, thunder rolled, and a Dragon claw of a Thunder Dragon pierced through the body of the Li Family vassal.
Tearing him apart alive.
Then, the Thunder Dragon directly swallowed this person, completely reducing him to ashes.
After a while, the thunder dissipated, and Pei Yanhu appeared, his tiger-like eyes blazing. Having just killed someone, his Evil Qi surged, and he swept his gaze over the crowd, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
Then, without saying anything, he quickly withdrew his troops, leading them roaring through the air, rumbling back to the city!
And the crowd, after seeing the ravaged, collapsed-like valley after the grand Formation was withdrawn, gasped, not daring to linger.
Slowly, only a few people from the imperial court remained, exchanging glances before departing separately.
Soon after, messages were sent from Jinguancheng, heading north, signaling an impending storm.
And Pei Yanhu, who had returned to Yunding Peak after killing the person, immediately ordered a messenger to be summoned.
"Go urgently to Guangan Prefecture and inform Ninth Zhonglang about the Li Family vassal coming to our door. This General can hold them off for a while, but I have a premonition that these guys are like cockroaches in a gutter. Tell Ninth Zhonglang to be vigilant, and if it comes to it, just say that."
His eyes held both ruthlessness and worry.
Now that the feud was established, he would naturally not back down, but Chen Yuan was thousands of miles away on the front lines. If the Li Family retaliated covertly, what could he do?
He hoped the second Dao Condensing Medicinal Pill could truly help him, allowing him to Breakthroug h to the Dao Fruit Realm soon!
Pei Yanhu sighed inwardly.
Yesterday, the box he had sent with his messenger actually contained a Dao Condensing Medicinal Pill.
This was originally prepared for his son, Shiyilang, but Shiyilang had died in battle, and the good news from Chen Yuan brought him some comfort, so he decided to give this precious Medicinal Pill to Chen Yuan.
The last one he gave Chen Yuan was bestowed as a military merit, not something he could give simply because he wanted to.
This time, it was his personal favor!
"Yes!"
Hasty footsteps quickly faded away, and soon after, there was another eagle's cry.
Two consecutive orders, separated by only one night.
But the mood was completely different.
Last night was for excitement and congratulations; in the blink of an eye, it was for issuing a warning.
At this moment, six thousand eight hundred miles southeast of Jinguancheng.
In Guangan Prefecture, the sky remained drizzly.
Under a rain shelter at the refugee settlement below the western city wall, a girl in green clothes was stirring a pot, with a wooden porridge barrel in front of her.
Further ahead, a line of ravaged, emaciated refugees waited.
"Slow down!"
"Don't push!"
The girl patiently filled bowls of porridge and handed them over.
"Thank you, Young Miss."
"Thank you!"
At this time, the maid next to her also distributed two steamed buns to each person.
And in her line, there were dozens of Xiao Family servants and housekeepers, all distributing food, bedding, and even clothes to the refugees.
These supplies, for the continuous influx of refugees, were quickly distributed.
"There's no more, folks. Wait until my Xiao Family prepares more supplies. We'll be back at the same time tomorrow morning. You can come again then."
The Xiao Family's Young Miss apologized to the people still queuing in front of her.
After a stick of incense, in the Xiao Family's carriage, the maid Xiao Jiu massaged her waist, "Young Miss, you've been personally working and moving things, helping the refugees for the past two days, it must be tiring. Are you still going to the Sky Patrol Division? That Official Gou is now determined and won't see you!"
"No matter what, Father is imprisoned. As his daughter, how can I not care?" Xiao Qingzhi's eyes were calm.
"Young Miss, why don't you just say that you know that Zhonglang General? We did send an invitation, perhaps he would see us, and everything would be resolved," the maid Xiao Jiu muttered from below, carefully looking up at her Young Miss.
But her Young Miss shook her head, saying nothing.
At this moment, the sound of hoofbeats came from behind, rapid as raindrops, from far to near, moving at high speed, turning into a blur.
A green-armored soldier galloped quickly to the entrance of the Sky Patrol Division, dismounted swiftly, and as he entered, he quickly spoke to the guarding armored soldiers:
"Urgent report!"
"I need to see Lord Ninth Zhonglang!"
