99: Zhao Yun VS Loulan Divine General

“Young friend, Blood Fiend has repented and become a vassal state of Ancient Loulan Kingdom. You should retreat.”

The Loulan Divine General stood with his hands behind his back, treading the Void Realm, his entire body covered in golden Ancient Loulan Kingdom divine armor.

His voice, emanating from the golden face mask, stirred ripples of sound waves.

The Blood Fiend Old Ancestor and others had grim expressions but dared not refute him.

On the ground, the Night-Shining Jade Lion neighed, and behind him, seven thousand White Robe Army cavalry charged at full speed, plunging into the three hundred thousand Yan Armor Army formation.

All around, the Spirit-Severing War Banners fluttered. In this large-scale army engagement, even those in the Dharma Aspect Realm could only be reduced to common soldiers, unable to exert much advantage.

“Kill!”

“Mere thousands of cavalry dare to court death!”

“I heard the White Robe Army once routed hundreds of thousands of troops, but how can those good-for-nothings compare to my Yan Armor Army?”

The Yan Armor Army generals sneered at the White Robe Army's charge and ordered a change in their formation.

They actively withdrew their defenses, opening a gap, preparing to engulf these seven thousand cavalry and slowly encircle and kill them.

Twenty thousand Iron-Blooded Cavalry drew their Blood Soul Battle Blades and patrolled the periphery, waiting for an opportunity.

“Hmm? They’ve charged in. Their general pretends to be aloof, saying nothing, and doesn't even adapt to the changing formation on the spot. What exactly is he thinking?”

The Yan Armor Army commander saw the enemy easily fall into the trap. A smile had just appeared on his face when it suddenly froze.

“Famous generals should not be complacent; a million troops must avoid the White Robe Army!”

Drums beat, hooves fell.

The White Robe Army's Aura was condensed. Chen Qingzhi's scholarly general's phantom overlooked the battlefield.

With a wave of his hand, the army's Aura fell upon every White Robe soldier.

Outside Blood Fiend Imperial City, in the center of the battlefield, seven thousand White Robe Army soldiers fought fearlessly, invincible, as if entering an uninhabited land, repeatedly piercing through the enemy formation.

“These White Robe soldiers are too bizarre. Don’t they know fear? Charging like this, regardless of the cost, even if they win and kill all three hundred thousand Yan Armor Army soldiers, they will still die of exhaustion.”

The Blood Fiend Sect Grand Elder looked at the Blood Fiend Old Ancestor and asked, “Old Ancestor, the situation is not optimistic. Should we intervene?”

The Blood Fiend Old Ancestor shook his head indifferently and said, “The more people die, the faster the sea of blood replenishes. Why should we interfere?

Although the slaughter below is tragic, it does not affect the overall situation. The true determinant of victory or defeat is still the Loulan Divine General and that Wu Dynasty general.”

Not far from the battlefield, after the white horse dragon steed neighed.

Zhao Yun leaped onto his horse and soared into the air. His Dragon Scale Bright Armor gleamed, and the Divine Might he exuded caused the heavens and earth to roar, manifesting a silver Dragon anomaly.

The Blood Fiend Old Ancestor, standing on the city wall, changed his expression slightly. The Divine Artifact armor on this White Robe martial general, though not a forbidden Divine Artifact capable of large-scale slaughter of living beings, was definitely of a high or even higher grade.

Perhaps it could rival the Ancient Loulan Kingdom's ancient divine armor.

“So, he has some reliance…”

The Loulan Divine General took a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared before Zhao Yun.

The Qinggang treasured blade at his waist unsheathed, swiftly and cleanly, striking at his throat.

Clang!

Zhao Yun's expression remained unchanged. With a flick of his dragon spear, he parried the blade.

“Divine Descent!”

The Loulan Divine General's voice was low.

The next moment, his Aura surged dramatically.

A phantom of an ancient god, reigning over the eight directions and devouring mountains and rivers, appeared above his head.

The Ancient Loulan Kingdom divine armor erupted with dazzling golden Divine Light, as if an ancient god had revived, shattering all the shackles that bound his Physical Body.

“Farewell.”

The Loulan Divine General grunted, splitting out with a blade, the blade body shattering inch by inch.

Vast Divine Power merged into the golden blade light, melting the Void Realm, like a blazing great sun.

Zhao Yun did not dodge or evade. In front of him, a point of cold light suddenly appeared.

Then, his spear shot out like a Dragon, directly confronting the blazing sun blade light.

Blue lightning sparked on the dragon gallant bright silver spear, spreading towards his shoulder.

“Roar—!”

A majestic blue lightning Dragon soul, following the long spear, roared out, shattering the golden blade light and blasting towards the Loulan Divine General.

At the same time, Zhao Yun's Martial God Body activated, and the Divine Power filling all directions was instantly at his command.

“Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix!”

His swift and precise spear was like a bolt of lightning, decisive in its moves, holding nothing back.

Fast, fierce, accurate.

The enhancement brought by the ancient divine armor was infinitely narrowed.

The Loulan Divine General's disadvantage immediately became apparent. In the clash of Divine Abilities, he gained no advantage.

In the contest of blade techniques and spear techniques, he also fell behind.

His Loulan blade technique, though already superb and touching the Dao Realm,

The opponent's spear technique was even superior, his spear Dao being strange, ruthless, and unique.

The crisp sound of metal clashing continuously echoed.

The Loulan Divine General looked down and saw at least seven or eight white marks on the Ancient Loulan Kingdom divine armor covering his entire body.

His throat, heart, waist, and shoulders… these areas were particularly noticeable.

Not only that, but his left eye beneath the face mask was also faintly aching.

It was conceivable that without the ancient divine armor,

Relying solely on his own incomplete divine fetus, even if he could survive under the opponent's spear, he would already be in a sorry state.

Conversely, on the other side,

The White Robe general, clad in Dragon Scale Bright Armor, was majestic and radiant, growing braver with each passing moment.

This was definitely an unparalleled Prodigy capable of challenging those in higher Realms.

Moreover, his silver armor and dragon spear were no less hard than the ancient divine armor.

After the Loulan Divine General's long blade shattered, he leveraged the advantage of his ancient divine armor, closing in and striking with fist imprints.

Taking a spear strike head-on, he slammed his fist into the Dragon Scale Bright Armor, and his bones crackled from the recoil.

Yet, the opponent showed no abnormal reaction, as if his punch was soft and weak.

“How did the battle reach a stalemate?”

The Blood Fiend Sect Grand Elder gazed intently.

The Blood Fiend Old Ancestor, with a grim face, said nothing, activating a secret technique to extract the blood of the Yan Armor Army soldiers below the city and transfer it elsewhere.

By this point in the battle, the Yan Armor Army formation had been completely breached.

The main force had suffered heavy casualties, and the remnants were retreating. If not for the twenty thousand Iron-Blooded Cavalry fighting desperately, the White Robe Army would have long since broken through the city gates.

“Young friend, no more fighting. There is no irreconcilable enmity between us. As for the Blood Fiend territory, Ancient Loulan Kingdom promises not to covet it again. We only ask that the Wu Dynasty grant Ancient Loulan Kingdom a corner of the land to recuperate.”

The Loulan Divine General cautiously pushed away the long spear pressed against his brow. His ancient divine armor was pristine, but the body beneath the armor was trembling slightly.

“I'll spare your life for now.”

“As for Ancient Loulan Kingdom's request, it still requires His Majesty's decision.”

Zhao Yun's gaze was indifferent as he lowered his long spear.

His current campaign in the Western Desert was to flatten Blood Fiend and kill Xia Ying.

If Ancient Loulan Kingdom blocked his path, it would be destroyed; if it was sensible, it would live.

“Why did they stop?”

The Blood Fiend Sect Grand Elder's gaze pierced through the sea of clouds, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Suddenly.

The sea of clouds churned and exploded.

A terrifying sonic boom seemed to burst eardrums.

A dragon spear, carrying the force of lightning, struck the city wall.

The horrifying Divine Power aftershocks swept through, causing some of the Blood Fiend Sect Grand Elders to be directly shattered, while others had their protective Magic Treasures explode, bleeding from all seven orifices, and flying back dozens of feet.

More than half of the Blood Fiend Imperial City wall collapsed.

As the rolling smoke and dust dissipated, the dragon gallant bright silver spear was seen piercing through the corpse of the Blood Fiend Old Ancestor, pinning him in the center of the ruins.

“Gulp.”

The survivors of the Blood Fiend Sect were horrified.

Before they could even flee, a golden armored figure, radiating oppressive power, flew down from above the sea of clouds.

The Loulan Divine General, having been passively beaten for a long time, finally had a chance to vent. His Divine Power transformed into a blade, slaughtering the remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect.

“You dogs of Ancient Loulan Kingdom, you are not human!”

“Xuan Emperor is tyrannical; you will regret submitting to him!”

The Blood Fiend Sect Elders gritted their teeth as they watched the powerful individual they had invited turn against them.

But the more fiercely they cursed, the more pleasantly the Loulan Divine General acted.

Zhao Yun ignored them, retrieving his dragon spear.

Feeling the Blood Origin Power flowing from it, he looked up into the distance and murmured.

“With the death of the Blood Fetus Clone, the main body is exposed. Blood Fiend Old Ancestor, Xia Ying, you have nowhere to run.”
