323: Reverse! (ask for monthly ticket)

“Ah!”

Blood splattered, and both arms fell.

Deputy General Hu let out a miserable shriek, staggering backward, the excruciating pain dyeing his sinister brows and eyes crimson with blood, and scarlet veins crawled over his entire pupils, letting out a hysterical cry.

“I am from the Hu family of the Imperial Capital.”

“You bitch, if you kill me, all you Hu women will die.”

As he spoke, he retreated in a panic, trying to hide among his soldiers, but his soldiers were already terrified by the demons, fearing death, and retreated like a receding tide, making the young Deputy This General roar in anger.

“You damned good-for-nothings, charge!”

As soon as he spoke, a sharp whistling wind came, and crystal clear snowflakes, like a long river of Sword Qi, grew larger and larger in his pupils.

Amidst the rustling snowflakes, a pair of icy blue eyes were bone-chilling, filled with killing intent.

In the blank snowy ground where the soldiers had retreated in panic, this young Deputy General Hu, a member of the Hu family from the Imperial Capital, playing the role of a subordinate in the three families' entry into Shu, was now frantic with fear.

The This General he relied on didn't care about his life or death, his soldiers scattered like birds and beasts, and he was alone, hair disheveled, only able to shriek and use all his strength, sleeves flying, Talismans flying out and circling his body, then his True Qi roared within him, the three-foot long blade Qi behind him spewed out its sharp edge, protecting himself, gritting his teeth, planting his feet firmly, and with a furious roar, he charged towards the wind and snow that shot towards him like a white mist column.

Instantly, the wind and snow shot forth, and the sword light within it rustled against the blade Qi.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

The sound of metal clashing was incessant.

The wind and snow mist was split open, divided into two halves, and on the snowy ground behind, slush exploded with a rustling sound.

And the blade Qi was cut away at an extremely fast speed, and after one or two breaths, the blade Qi was broken, and immediately after, puff, puff, puff, Talismans exploded one after another.

At this moment, the young Deputy This General surnamed Hu had no more defenses around him, and the edges of the crystal clear snowflakes gleamed with sharp edges, growing larger and larger in his terrified pupils, shooting towards his body with a rustling sound.

“Puff!”

“Puff!”

“Puff!”

With a series of dull thuds of flesh exploding, the Deputy This General trembled all over, and sounds of painful hissing came out, as blood-red plum blossoms bloomed on his body.

A moment later, the wind and snow dispersed, revealing the Deputy This General's body riddled with holes like a beehive, each small hole dripping with blood, completely disfigured, blood gurgling in his throat, making whimpering sounds, but it was not so easy to die in the Heavenly Gate, he still had Qi.

Three feet away, An Ge landed and directly flicked a sword, piercing through the Dantian in this person's abdomen with a whoosh, then flicked it away.

“Thud!”

This person fell beside Miyi and the others, letting out a heart-wrenching scream, but his body was unable to move.

Seeing this, Miyi's tears turned into hatred, and the curved dagger in her hand appeared, plunging fiercely into this beast's heart, then pulling it out, blood splattered, splashing on her face.

Then he handed the dagger to another sister.

Just like that, one stab after another, the last stab directly pierced through the opponent's head, and these Hu women completely finished off this beast.

Beside them, Wei Zhong and the subordinate Captains witnessed the fierce and hateful resolve of these Hu women, their eyebrows twitching, but they did not stop them.

Today's matter could no longer end well.

In the sky, Military Commander Yang Jianshan, who had transformed into a silver giant, shook the universe with his fists, causing the Void Realm to tremble, forcibly holding back the descending full moon. He saw his Deputy This General die stab by stab at the hands of the Hu women, and his own soldiers were surrounded in the training ground, being torn apart by black demonic hounds, while Wei Zhong stood by without any intervention, his face sinking deeply, his killing intent chilling.

“Wei Zhong, the demoness attacked the camp and killed a This General. So you were in cahoots all along. You shall be treated as a rebel. This General’s order: blockade the Inner City. Once the main army arrives…”

The sound shook the night sky, making the wind and snow howl, and the cold wind pierce to the bone.

These words echoed far and wide, and immediately in the distant darkness, a sharp whistle sounded.

After Military Commander Yang Jianshan arrived and took charge of Tianxiong Pass, relying on the name of Town Demon Envoy, he slowly sidelined Wei Zhong and took over the gate defenses of the Inner and Outer City. This order was a complete tearing off of the facade, preparing to brand Wei Zhong with the crime of rebellion, trapping his soldiers in the Inner City, waiting for the main army to arrive, at which point they would be at his mercy.

This order was like a hurricane, sweeping through the Inner City.

Just as he hadn't finished speaking, a loud roar interrupted him.

“Military Commander Yang Jianshan!”

“Rebel your ancestors!”

“How many years have I served as the Zhonglang General of Tianxiong Pass? You haven't fulfilled your duties, nor have you received any orders, yet you're bossing people around. I’ve tolerated you for too long.”

“This General’s order: the Vanguard Army has disregarded military law and attempted to subvert the order. Take them down on the spot. Those who resist shall be executed without mercy!”

Wei Zhong just threw caution to the wind. Things had developed to this point, and there was no good way out. He no longer hesitated, directly drawing a sword from the waist of a nearby Captain, bending and snapping it with both hands.

The blade shattered into several cold lights, which shot out with a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, towards several Vanguard Army soldiers nearby. Several screams rose one after another, and those armored soldiers flew backward, crashing into a tent.

Then his feet exploded, and black bludgeons appeared in his hands. He swung them and charged upwards, wanting to take advantage of the Heavenly Dog's display of power to strike down Military Commander Yang Jianshan, who looked down on him and came to his Tianxiong Pass to throw his weight around, from the clouds.

Preferably, kill him directly!

Wei Zhong certainly had a ruthless streak in his heart!

And the Captains beside him, hearing that the Zhonglang General was going to fight to the death, were moved, but then their expressions turned fierce, and they drew their swords one after another, as if the pent-up frustration in their hearts was also being vented, and they all roared.

“Order the Xionghan Camp, follow this Captain and take them down!”

“Black Cavalry Camp, charge with me, disarm these brats, and if they resist, slaughter them!”

“...”

As the shouts echoed, the Tianxiong Pass garrison cavalry, galloping around the training ground, seemed to be injected with adrenaline.

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

The sound of swords being drawn rang out in unison.

Horses neighed wildly.

Then, from all directions, they transformed into torrents, rushing into the Vanguard Army camp.

Brazier flew, sparks scattered, and large horses neighed, flying into the camp.

In an instant, inside and outside the camp, there was the clash of blades, the collision of metal, the tearing of cloth, and sounds of chaos rising from all sides.

Most of these Vanguard Army soldiers were private troops from various families; they were good at being fierce and ruthless, but when facing the Tianxiong Pass garrison, who had guarded the Shu Pass for many years, they were not just a little bit inferior in terms of ferocity and discipline. They had never seen such a formation, and at the first clash, they were so scared that they threw away their armor and fled, scurrying around with their heads in their hands.

Outside the training ground, when Military Commander Yang Jianshan of the Vanguard Army loudly announced that he would blockade the Inner City gates, and the soldiers on duty there were still at a loss, the Tianxiong Pass garrison already had dispatch riders, galloping furiously, constantly shouting loudly among the camps.

“By order of Zhonglang General Wei, the commander of the Vanguard Army intends to subvert Tianxiong Pass! Quickly go and open the city gates, capture the Vanguard rebels, and those who disobey will be beheaded!”

The entire Inner City, like a drop of fire falling into a pot of oil, instantly erupted into a frenzy.

And the commotion here naturally alarmed the four directions of Tianxiong Pass, and within a radius of about ten miles, streaks of light shot into the sky, tearing through the wind and snow, rushing towards the Inner City.

When eyes saw the two armies clashing on the Inner City wall, engaging in close combat and mutual slaughter, they all gasped.

“They’re fighting!”

The Vanguard Army dispatched by the Town Demon Envoy actually started fighting with the Tianxiong Pass garrison. Eyes were either horrified or rapidly flickering.

This, this, this...

What it represented behind the scenes was self-evident.

Tianxiong Pass would usher in a bloody storm!

Those unaware of the inside story were shocked by the Local General of the Guard's audacity!

But some pondered the deeper meaning behind it: these two armies were probably just a minor skirmish between small soldiers, and behind it was very likely a game of chess between the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General and the new Town Demon Envoy!

For a time, in the surrounding area, pairs of eyes stared intently at the Inner City, but the wind and snow in the sky were too heavy, making the visibility blurry, making it difficult to see exactly what was happening inside, only the shouts echoing throughout the city could be heard.

But there were those with powerful cultivation, whose eyesight was extremely keen, who could penetrate the swirling wind and snow, and from over ten miles away, they saw a silver giant, its whole body shimmering with silver light, a three-legged scarlet fire furnace suspended above its head, holding up a bright moon, its mighty fists swinging, its power suppressing the universe, causing the Void Realm to “shatter.”

And opposite him, a ferocious giant demon, Devilish Qi surging, holding up the sky and playing with the moon, freezing the Void Realm inch by inch, its fierce might soaring to the heavens.

At this moment, above the Inner City training ground, the arrogant Military Commander Yang Jianshan had originally thought that after he gave the order, Wei Zhong would be hesitant, and since he controlled the Inner City gates, plus everyone had selfish motives, just like Xu Xiangdong among them, who knew when to advance and retreat, and would betray his master for glory, he would certainly not obey obediently and risk death to defy the This General trend. Then his soldiers would sweep through the Tianxiong Pass garrison like autumn leaves, forcing them to surrender, and Wei Zhong would not escape his grasp.

But the scene before him was completely contrary to his expectations. Wei Zhong cursed him for treason, and the garrison swept through the Vanguard Army soldiers like autumn leaves, forcing them to surrender. His own men scurried around like headless chickens, finally disarming and surrendering.

This made him, who had always been arrogant, burn with rage, wanting to go on a killing spree, but the demon in front of him was truly difficult to deal with. It was the Heavenly Dog, one of the Ten Fiends, and of the same third level of Dao, yet he couldn't do anything, leaving a surge of anger stifled in his chest.

Below, a terrifying howl sounded, and a large black bludgeon smashed towards him.

It was Wei Zhong, still cursing him.

“You deserve to die! This General will kill you today!” Military Commander Yang Jianshan’s face was ashen, his eyes seemed to spit fire, intending to completely deal with this fellow who defied the Heavenly Army, even if it meant getting injured. Then, with the group leaderless, they would be at his mercy.

The furnace above his head suddenly roared, stirring the Qi and blood in his body like a rainbow. His massive, dazzling silver body circulated with strange scripture sounds, and a mysterious great power was about to pour out, rushing towards Wei Zhong.

Just then, a piercing, eerie laugh rang out. The Heavenly Dog opened its massive mouth and swallowed the moon, and the world instantly plunged into darkness. Military Commander Yang Jianshan was trapped in the Heavenly Dog clan's Black Prison Divine Ability. Chen Yuan had almost fallen for this Divine Ability before; it could temporarily deprive one of their five senses.

In a flash of lightning, Wei Zhong’s black bludgeon smashed down, and a dazzling sword light, like a meteor chasing the moon, shot forth with a startling whoosh, while the Heavenly Dog’s sharp, gigantic claws tore through the Void Realm and struck directly.

Military Commander Yang Jianshan’s five senses were temporarily deprived, but instinctively, a sense of crisis arose. The giant’s body stomped suddenly, and a series of metallic hums vibrated from within him. Immediately after, several silver rings with mysterious and complex patterns rose from his feet, enveloping his body.

“Clang!”

“Ding!”

“Boom!”

Three loud crashes, the halo vibrated violently but remained motionless. Only the immense force of the Heavenly Dog’s giant claw striking down sent Military Commander Yang Jianshan falling from the air, slamming into the ground with a boom, creating a large crater.

A silver light flashed within, the giant's body was broken, and Military Commander Yang Jianshan shot up from it, then looked at the three figures standing in the Void Realm with a sinister gaze, laughing in extreme anger.

“Good, good, good.”

“Zhonglang General Wei truly has guts.”

The second update continues.
