322: Chapter 322 One Finger Repels the Enemy

A sharp, urgent roar came from the rear of the massive army, carrying obvious panic.

A Sci-fi Signal Soldier, piloting a Small Aircraft that emitted pale blue tail flames, broke through the crowd at high speed and arrived before Yun Ge and Yu Tianshu. Without even fully stabilizing himself, he urgently reported:

"General! Sect Master! Emergency military intelligence! The Xuan Ye Immortal Dynasty army suddenly crossed the border, split into three routes, and is rapidly advancing toward the Imperial Capital! They launched a full-scale sneak attack while our main forces were gathered at the Imperial Capital and our interior was vulnerable!"

"What?!" Yun Ge's expression instantly changed, and frost gathered between her heroic brows. "Xuan Ye Immortal Dynasty! I've long disliked them! I planned to deal with them next after stabilizing our internal affairs, but I didn't expect them to deliver themselves right to my doorstep!"

The Aura of Killing and Conquest around her rose once more, and she was about to order the troops to pivot and meet the external enemy.

"We immediately..."

"Wait."

Su Mo's calm voice rang out, interrupting Yun Ge's aggressive words filled with Killing Intent.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on him.

Su Mo lightly brushed his sleeve, a smile appearing on his face, his eyes clear and sharp.

"After thirty years in secluded cultivation, my bones have gotten a bit lazy."

He raised his eyes, looking toward the direction of the invading Xuan Ye Immortal Dynasty army. His tone was casual, yet carried a supreme, reassuring confidence:

"For such a small matter, there's no need to trouble you all to mobilize and rush back and forth."

"Perfectly timed..."

The curve of his mouth widened slightly.

"Let me stretch my muscles and bones."

..."Haha, it seems the Huangji Immortal Dynasty is truly declining! Those damned Rebel Forces are just fighting like dogs with that Tyrannical Ruler, Immortal Emperor, which only benefits us!"

The vanguard of the Xuan Ye Immortal Dynasty army marched forward, banners fluttering wildly, their black armor numerous as clouds.

On the back of a ferocious Vicious Beast covered in black scales and sporting a single horn, Commander Shan Xiao held a Sky Halberd and looked at the outline of the almost defenseless Imperial Capital of the Huangji Immortal Dynasty, an unconcealed sneer on his face.

"The Marshal speaks the absolute truth!" The nearby Vice General, Fierce Blood, agreed. "I heard the leader of those Rebel Forces is the little daughter of the former Prince of Zhenbei. Tsk tsk, they say she imprisoned her own father in the Prince's Estate and ran out to seize the world herself. Truly filial piety! Hahaha..."

The surrounding generals also burst into laughter. The air was thick with the relaxed confidence of victory and mockery toward their prey.

This million-strong elite force had plotted for a long time, launching a sudden attack during the Huangji Immortal Dynasty's internal Chaos. They had swept forward like a hot knife through butter, meeting almost no decent resistance. Seeing immense merit within easy reach, how could they not be excited?

However, Fierce Blood's laughter abruptly stopped mid-cackle.

The expression on his face suddenly froze, his pupils contracted, and his gaze locked onto the high sky ahead.

There, at some unknown point, a figure in green robes was silently suspended.

The figure was still far away, appearing as small as a speck of dust above the massive military formation, but a heart-palpitating Spiritual Pressure silently spread out, overwhelming the clamor and Killing Intent of the million-strong army.

"That is..."

Fierce Blood's voice was dry, carrying a subtle tremor.

He recognized that young face.

"That Fallen Immortal junior?! He's not dead?" Shan Xiao also narrowed his eyes, slightly raising the Sky Halberd in his hand. The massive Aura of a Peak Profound Immortal began to rise, stirring the wind and clouds.

"It's said he has an unusual relationship with Yun Ge. Hmph, does he think he alone can stop the million iron cavalry of my Xuan Ye Immortal Dynasty? Pipe dream!"

The Vicious Beast beneath him sensed its master's Battle Intent and let out a deafening roar, sweeping forth a foul wind.

Su Mo stood suspended in the air, his gaze calmly sweeping over the army spreading out below like a black tide, finally resting on Shan Xiao, who possessed the strongest Aura.

"Noisy."

He softly uttered two words.

Upon hearing this, Shan Xiao laughed in extreme anger:

"junior! You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! Daring to block this Marshal's path, die for me—now!"

The last word burst forth like a clap of thunder!

Shan Xiao held nothing back; the terrifying cultivation of a Peak Profound Immortal completely erupted!

The Sky Halberd in his hand seemed to transform into a roaring Black Dragon, tearing through the sky. The halberd tip condensed a point of supremely compressed darkness, and wherever it passed, space twisted and shattered!

With this strike, he had used his full strength, vowing to pierce a hole through this junior who dared to block his path, along with the sky behind him!

The Xuan Ye army let out earth-shattering shouts, cheering on their Marshal.

A cruel smile reappeared on Fierce Blood's face, as if he could already see Su Mo being smashed into dust by the halberd.

But facing this terrifying strike, one that would make even an ordinary Peak Profound Immortal pale, Su Mo merely raised his right hand slowly.

His five fingers were long and slender, and a faint Chaos luster flowed beneath his skin.

He did not use any Magic Treasure, did not invoke any Spell Seals, and did not even mobilize any earth-shattering spiritual power.

He simply flicked his finger toward the roaring Black Dragon halberd light.

Ding—

A sound, as crisp as a jade chime being struck yet strangely audible across the entire battlefield, rang out.

Time seemed to be stretched infinitely at this moment.

Under the gaze of a million pairs of eyes, the world-destroying Black Dragon halberd light suddenly froze three feet away from Su Mo's fingertip.

The point of ultimate darkness at the tip of the halberd light silently popped, like a soap bubble in the sun.

Immediately following was the halberd light itself.

Starting from the head, it shattered and disintegrated inch by inch, turning into the purest specks of energy light, scattering and vanishing.

The speed of the disintegration was incredible, spreading to the main body of the halberd in the blink of an eye.

"Wh—?!"

The sneer on Shan Xiao's face was instantly replaced by boundless horror.

He felt an irresistible immense force transmit along the halberd shaft!

"Pfft—!"

Shan Xiao violently spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. His entire body was sent flying backward, as if struck head-on by an invisible giant hammer, crashing violently into the hard ground below and carving out a massive pit several dozen Zhang deep.

The entire field fell silent.

The million-strong Xuan Ye army was collectively choked, all shouts, roars, and sneers instantly vanishing.

Countless eyes were wide with disbelief, staring at the Commander they considered almost invincible, who had been... flicked away with a single finger?

Su Mo slowly withdrew his finger; a faint, undefined Chaos glow seemed to linger on the tip.

A faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This was the effect of Chaos Qi—it could break down all matter into Origin particles.

His gaze swept over the people below, his voice calm:

"I'll give you one last chance: lay down your weapons and kneel where you stand, and you may live."

"Otherwise..."

From the deep pit came a weak roar, yet filled with explosive fury and humiliation.

Shan Xiao, covered in blood with his armor completely shattered, struggled to climb out of the bottom of the pit, one arm dangling limply.

He stared fixedly at Su Mo in the air, his eyes filled with venomous hatred and a trace of lingering madness.

"Arrogant!!" Shan Xiao shrieked furiously. "How can my Xuan Ye Immortal Dynasty's million iron cavalry be shaken by you alone?! All soldiers, heed my command!"

He raised his only intact arm high, shouting hoarsely:

"Form the 'Xuan Ye Heaven-Swallowing Formation'! Kill this fiend and flatten Huangji!!"

"ROAR—!!"
