336: The Demon-Suppressing General Protects His Shortcomings (asking for monthly tickets)

"General Chen, what are you waiting for?" Old Man Dong's urging voice rang in his ears.

Chen Yuan came back to his senses, saw the injured Dragon Girl and the panting Old Man Dong, cast aside his distracting thoughts, and prepared to strike while the iron was hot, looking for the next node.

He had only taken two steps when the golden light of his Dharma Eye swirled, and then he heard a thunderous roar in this world. A large face formed from the dark clouds above this world, its pupils like two blazing suns, slowly scanned the two people and one dragon below, and from its mouth came an indifferent and cold voice, shaking this world.

"I never thought."

"A wounded Dragon."

"The legendary Kun Long Lock."

"And a young man who wields the Dharma Eye, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth."

This Dragon Tiger's bulging eyes swept over them one by one, seeing through the trump cards of the three, its voice carrying a hint of malice, like the clashing of metal.

"But do you think you can escape?"

"Before the might of the imperial court, even true spirits of heaven and earth are but birds and beasts. Those who do not follow the rules will have their heads roll."

"You are not allowed to run wild here."

As this voice fell, a thunderous flash of lightning struck from within the dark clouds. The Dragon Tiger's large face disappeared into the dark clouds, and then, figures that had not appeared for a long time emerged. Two shouts rang out from within, and amidst the rolling thunderclouds, two very familiar figures appeared.

They were precisely the two Martial Treasuries of the three Families: the Gongyang family and the Meng Family Martial Treasury.

These two Martial Treasuries, with angry brows and glaring eyes, suddenly produced a large flag in their hands, waving and dancing in the dark clouds. As the flag fluttered, wisps of cloud Qi gathered upwards. At the same time, as the flag swayed, this entire Saha world trembled and hummed incessantly, and two terrifying Qi mechanisms rapidly brewed and formed.

Below, on Chen Yuan's trio's side, several Kun Long Locks that had penetrated two nodes trembled violently with this disturbance.

"Snap!"

One Kun Long Lock shattered.

Then, the second, and the third.

"Not good!"

Old Man Dong's eyes widened, his tone becoming exasperated, "How are there still Dragon Tiger old monsters!"

"Yin!"

A clear Dragon roar.

The North Sea Dragon Girl roared and soared into the sky, rushing towards the rolling thunderclouds, wanting to interrupt the spell casting.

"I'll risk it all."

Old Man Dong became agitated, frantically urging the blood-red Kun Long Lock, and also rushed up.

However, in the next breath, from within the rolling thunderclouds,

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two lightning pillars, like world-ending Lightning Tribulations, struck down from the sky, directly hitting the soaring North Sea Dragon Girl and Old Man Dong.

The North Sea Dragon Girl's two sharp Dragon horns transformed into silver greatswords, directly blocking the lightning pillars, causing lightning plasma to burst forth. She continued to ascend, about to enter the dark clouds.

However, a massive black hand, about an acre in size, slammed down from the dark clouds, forcefully swatting away the silver twin swords.

Subsequently, the lightning pillars instantly counterattacked, fiercely striking the Dragon body. In an instant, a loud wail erupted, and under the extremely dazzling lightning, the Dragon body's scales shattered one after another. The Dragon body, winding for several miles, as if cast from silver mercury, also rapidly shrank under the lightning bombardment.

At the same time, on the other side, with a roar, a yellow jade gourd, like a small mountain, was violently struck by lightning and plummeted down.

Two meteors fell.

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and with a shake of his Dharma Idol's large hand, he caught the two falling figures.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two small figures landed on his large hand.

Huanlong Clan Old Man Dong was emitting wisps of green smoke, his hair stood on end, and he was struck until his skin was torn and flesh exposed. The North Sea Dragon Girl was struck back into her human form, lying prostrate on the large hand, her silver hair scattered over a beautiful face, a trace of crimson at the corner of her mouth. Two silver lights shot back, transforming into two Flying Swords hovering above the Dragon Girl's head.

At this moment, the Dragon Girl was clad in a silver scale dress, her face beneath her silver hair filled with a mature and cold charm. Her eyes were icy, filled with an air of arrogance, like a larger version of the young girl Cun Xin, but completely different from her previous youthful temperament.

Clearly, this was the North Sea Dragon Girl's true appearance!

It was just that at this moment, the North Sea Dragon Girl seemed to be in very poor condition. Silver light flickered, elongating and shrinking her body, her state very unstable, compounded by her injuries.

Green light immediately appeared in Chen Yuan's palm, and a very emerald branch emerged, swaying with crisp bell sounds. A faint Dragon roar rose, and streams of Mother Tree essence, mixed with surging vitality, immediately poured into their bodies.

And just then,

"Chen Yuan!"

A thunderous roar exploded in the dark clouds, reverberating throughout the world.

Immediately following, two other different shouts came, as if vibrating in his ears.

"Arrogant and ignorant fool, how dare you."

"Today, the entire Tianxiong Pass will be buried with you."

Three booming shouts, carrying unfathomable Divine Ability power, like drum beats, fiercely struck Chen Yuan's eardrums.

Chen Yuan looked up, and for a moment, it was as if the world was spinning. In the thunderclouds above, three large faces filled with terrifying Divine Might appeared, like abyssal giants lowering their heads to gaze.

Their eyes were either indifferent, or wrathful like Vajra, or fiercely murderous.

The Dragon Tiger's majestic power rolled down from the heavens.

Below, the South City, at this instant, could not withstand this pressure. The lowest two-mile radius of ground collapsed with a rumble, and rubble flew everywhere, as if struck by a terrifying giant's palm.

"Kneel!"

A shout rang out, as if words became law.

The next moment, Chen Yuan only felt an invisible immense force descend upon him with a crash. The Void Realm above compressed, pressing his Dharma Idol's crimson-golden light to flicker wildly, causing his Dharma Idol to suddenly bend.

And the surrounding Void Realm seemed to have turned into tempered steel, firmly holding him captive.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Chen Yuan's externalized Dharma Idol roared loudly.

An unimaginable immense force continuously shattered his protective spiritual light.

But Chen Yuan gritted his teeth, a gnashing roar escaping his throat. Dragon and Phoenix roars echoed within his body, and the violently flickering spiritual light seemed to ignite him. He slowly straightened his body, then, resisting the immense force, slowly raised his head, veins throbbing, his gaze defiant.

In his ear, Old Man Dong's continuous strange shouts urged him to buy enough time, indicating that this old man from an ancient clan still had a life-saving method.

"Zheng!"

A ringing sound, the Dharma Eye broke the spell.

The long spear in his hand hummed and flew up, like the sharpness it displayed when it first appeared in Baidi City back then.

"Kill him!"

The three Dragon Tigers in the sky spoke with extreme indifference.

"Leave his corpse intact and escort him to the capital."

As they spoke, a massive black hand descended from the sky, causing the world to tremble. Its speed was incredibly fast, and the compressed Void Realm exploded with roars, the intense friction completely igniting the air.

Below, only one figure stood alone, a divine halo appearing behind him. He used all his methods and roared towards the sky!

Sighs echoed throughout the surrounding world, as if knowing this was merely a final, desperate struggle, expressing regret.

There were also urgent and noisy shouts of soldiers and horses rising one after another.

"It's over!"

Many people's faces turned ashen. Under the terrifying pressure of the three Dragon Tiger projections, their minds were impacted, and their weapons fell to the ground.

Only a stream of light howled towards the high heavens.

That was a Heavenly Dog, carrying a Western Regions woman.

Everything was in chaos.

Suddenly, in this world of biting north wind and dim snow, a golden light descended from the sky.

This golden light pierced through the clouds, like parting the clouds to see the sun, and happened to shine upon this Saha world, descending upon Chen Yuan.

In an instant, the dark clouds covering the sky above were illuminated by the golden light, melting away like ice and snow. The majestic black hand, descending from the sky with great momentum, also burned away.

And this was part of the Dragon Tiger's creation, not ordinary dark clouds.

The three Dragon Tiger projections' gazes darkened, and they let out a shout.

"Who is it?"

As they spoke, they looked up.

And above the entire Tianxiong Pass, a majestic and domineering low voice resounded.

"This This General is Qitian."

"You old fools!"

"When did my men become yours to discipline?"

As his words fell, the world rumbled, as if a large door had been kicked open.

Above, at the source of the golden light, the Void Realm shattered.

A majestic figure stepped out!

As this figure appeared, it was like a sudden clap of thunder on flat ground. A vast oppressive Aura directly overwhelmed the three Dragon Tiger projections, exploding throughout the entire Tianxiong Pass, and that Saha world trembled incessantly.

And those who had heard this name were greatly astonished, exclaiming in an uproar.

Qitian!

Few people in the entire Shu Land had heard of this name.

But if it were another title, everyone in the entire Shu Land would respectfully address him.

This person was the Zhenmo General who commanded the thirty-six Fu Gates of Jiannan Road, had been stationed at the Magic Kingdom Border of the Eight Divisions Demon Kingdom for years, was the supreme commander of the Dao Fu Division, and was officially enfeoffed by the imperial court as a pillar of the nation!

This Zhenmo General, mysterious and powerful in the eyes of the people of Shu Land, had always been stationed at the Magic Kingdom Border, rarely showing his true strength. Although major events had occurred continuously in Shu Land in recent months, this Zhenmo General had not appeared, remaining extremely mysterious.

No one had expected that this Zhenmo General would appear at Tianxiong Pass today, facing the three Dragon Tigers with a domineering and unfriendly tone.

Even more astonishing was that this Zhenmo General intended to protect the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General!

This instantly ignited the eyes of countless people, their hearts stirring.

Most of these people were local residents of Tianxiong Pass. They did not want the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General, who had shed his blood for Shu Land, to lose.

At this moment, high in the sky, the three Families' Dragon Tigers, seeing the Jiannan Road Zhenmo General personally descend, showed various expressions on their faces formed from dark clouds: some were wary, others cold.

The Huangfu Family's Dragon Tiger spoke coldly, "Qitian, as the Jiannan Road Zhenmo General, you also bear responsibility for this matter."

"You all were ordered by the imperial court to support Shu Land, yet this fool under your command led troops to kill the imperial court's Heavenly Army, betraying and rebelling. What a grave crime this is! This matter has already been reported to the heavens. You must think clearly before speaking!"

"Otherwise..."

After speaking, he snorted coldly, his tone carrying a threat.

Unexpectedly, the appearing Zhenmo General's eyebrows shot up.

"Otherwise what?"

"Huangfu Qi, you want this This General to bear the charge of rebellion? This This General asks you, do you dare?"

"Or, how about this This General grants your wish and rebels now? The Rakshasa Asuras of the Eight Divisions Demon Kingdom and the Ten Fiends and demons of the Ten Thousand Mountains, this This General will not manage any of them. How about leaving it to your Huangfu Family to guard?"

Upon hearing these astonishing words, the Huangfu Family's Dragon Tiger's expression changed instantly.

"You..."

He wanted to say something, but ultimately could not utter a word.

"If you don't dare, then shut up!" Zhenmo General Qitian's voice suddenly sank.

"Since the army has arrived in my Shu Land, you must follow this This General's orders. This This General will judge today's matter. The three of you have no imperial court appointment in my Jiannan Road, yet you are pointing fingers in this matter and even want to kill a This General under my command who has made great military achievements. This This General will not tolerate you."

Upon hearing this, the three Families' Dragon Tigers' faces turned angry.

"Qitian, you want to fight?"

"So what if I do!"

Then, a loud shout was heard, "Great Luo Heaven!"

In an instant, the world was instantly enveloped in an incredibly dazzling golden light, sweeping in all directions.

Countless people watching the battle felt their eyes instantly go black, experiencing temporary blindness, then their eyes teared up, and they saw red, their vision blurry.

Only a series of heart-stopping roars were heard from the sky, along with a few angry snorts, then it abruptly stopped, and the world fell into an eerie silence.

This process lasted for about twenty-something breaths of time.

When many people's red vision disappeared and they could see clearly, the golden light in the sky had vanished, and that awe-inspiring Saha world also disappeared, including the three Dragon Tiger projections.

Is it over?

Many people hadn't reacted yet, and then their gazes searched everywhere.

At this moment, the South City, directly below the center of the battle, had been reduced to ruins, with a large hole collapsed in the middle, caused by the Dragon Tiger's pressure.

On both sides of the central ruins, the two Fu Gate armies and the imperial court's great army faced each other across the ruins, a scene of chaos.

At the front lines of the armies on both sides, the soldiers and horses were restless. In the middle of the ruins, several figures with majestic Auras had gathered!

Chen Yuan, who had just been fighting fiercely, was among them.

At this moment, he stood by a collapsed eaves corner, bricks and tiles scattered all around, forming a small hill of bricks and stones, with the eaves tilted and mostly buried within it.

Chen Yuan cupped his hands, his head slightly lowered!

On top of the eaves in front, a majestic figure stood, clad in purple-gold armor adorned with flying clouds. His eyes shot out cold stars, his eyebrows were like brushed lacquer, and his chest was broad, as if possessing the might to face ten thousand enemies.

This person stood here like a towering mountain. Those with weaker cultivation would be so suppressed by his Aura that they would not dare to approach.

This person was precisely the Zhenmo General Qitian who had dispersed the three Families' Dragon Tiger projections!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

At this moment, several streams of light flew towards the opposing army and landed on the eaves.

The light receded, revealing Zhongli, the newly appointed Town Demon Envoy of the imperial court. He landed on an eaves corner opposite Chen Yuan, cupped his hands in a salute to Qitian, maintaining a respectful expression without any other superfluous emotions, clearly indicating his strong inner resolve.

"Zhongli, the newly appointed Town Demon Envoy, greets the Great This General!"

Then he took out an imperial court document from his sleeve.

"This is the seal!"

Behind Zhongli, the three Families' Martial Treasuries landed among the rubble behind him. Some averted their gaze, others had somewhat grim expressions, but they still followed in greeting.

"This subordinate, Huangfu Jing, enfeoffed by the imperial court as the Left Route Deputy Town Demon Envoy of Jiannan Road, greets the Great This General!"

"This subordinate, Gongyang Xiu, enfeoffed by the imperial court..."

"This subordinate, Meng Ziyi..."

Although the Town Demon Envoy and the three Families' Martial Treasuries were positions enfeoffed by imperial decree, in Jiannan Road, which is Shu Land, the Zhenmo General was the supreme commander. Regardless of which Family they came from, they were all Qitian's subordinates.

The projections of their Family's Dragon Tiger mighty experts had just been dispersed by this Zhenmo General, so the three Families' Martial Treasuries were in an extremely complicated mood at this moment.

This awkward and bizarre scene before them was mostly created by unexpected circumstances.

The two sides, who had just been fighting to the death, were now gathered together.

At this moment, the Zhenmo General's eyes were like cold stars. He looked at the three Families' Martial Treasuries, then at Zhongli, and slowly spoke,

"The imperial court sent you to support Shu Land. Perfect. The Demon Country is not peaceful right now. You will lead the army and advance west with this This General!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to the side, looking at Chen Yuan with a meaningful gaze,

"As for Chen Yuan, you acted rashly this time. This This General will punish you by having you continue to guard Jinguan City and command the front-line operations in the Ten Thousand Mountains! If anything goes wrong, this This General will not spare you!"
