247: Seeking one's own death

On the Rebellion Suppression Army's journey to the Imperial Capital, there were also various Families along the way who wanted to trip up General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong.

The Families who were ordered by “a certain important figure” to stop General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong from entering the capital were all Families without divine protection, and thus dared not disobey the words of “a certain important figure.”

However, they all clearly understood General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong’s unparalleled combat power, and no one wanted to offend General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong, who held the title of General Who Suppresses Rebellion.

If General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong were angered, not only would their lives be in danger, but their reputation among the Human Race would also be ruined.

This continued until General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong led his troops to the border between the Great Qing Kingdom and the Great Ming Kingdom of the Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race.

“General Ye, after crossing this desert, we will reach the Great Ming Kingdom, and after passing the Great Ming Kingdom, we will arrive at the Imperial Capital,” Wen Gan said.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and the soldiers were parched.

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong used his hand to shield his eyes from the sun and looked at the distant desert.

“Hmm, this desert has many sand dunes. I hope the wind doesn't pick up next. If there’s a sandstorm, it will be very inconvenient for our army’s advance.”

“Indeed, this area often experiences strong winds and natural disasters like sandstorms.”

The Human Rebellion Quelling Army continued their journey, stepping onto the desert.

However, halfway through, what General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong had hoped to avoid still happened.

A patch of grey suddenly appeared in the distant blue sky, constantly extending, growing larger, and wider, blocking the sunlight like an iron curtain and obscuring the sky.

The wind whistled across the land, stirring up a thick layer of dust; sand and pebbles flew everywhere; the air was filled with choking yellow sand.

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong spread his hand, releasing a strong Killing Intent. The Killing Intent was extremely fierce, directly blocking the sand and dust.

“Hold your positions. We’ll move again after the sandstorm ends!” General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong said.

Wen Gan and Liu Che each cast their spells, protecting both sides of the formation.

The sky turned dark, sand and stones flew, the strong wind howled, and yellow sand and gravel danced wildly under the sky. Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated; in an instant, a dark miasma filled the sky, falling directly into the Rebellion Suppression Army’s formation.

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong immediately felt a bad premonition, concentrating his mind and looking outwards.

In the distance, a yellow Dragon rose, roaring like an ox, a deep, rumbling sound like muffled thunder.

On the horizon, a trembling yellow line initially appeared, rolling forward, growing wider and wider, a truly magnificent sight.

In an instant, before anyone could react, the yellow sand swept through, and everything from before vanished as if by magic. All that remained was a sea of yellow, obscuring the sky, the soldiers, and even their own feet.

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong thought to himself, *This is not just a normal sandstorm!*

“Break for me!”

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong immediately released an even stronger Killing Intent, pushing back the encroaching sandstorm.

The howling of the sandstorm receded slightly, and General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong immediately heard the coughing of the soldiers behind him.

This sandstorm contained Killing Intent; something was wrong!

“All troops, be on alert! Someone might be ambushing us!”

Before his words finished, the sandstorm abruptly ceased, and the sky-filling yellow sand fell from above. It was at this moment that a large group of masked armed forces appeared from all directions of the desert, seemingly out of nowhere.

They were all riding tall horses, and the moment the yellow sand settled, they all spurred their horses towards General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong and his Rebellion Suppression Army.

Seeing the gleaming blades in their hands reflecting the sunlight, General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong immediately realized they had fallen into an ambush!

“All troops, listen to my command! Form up and repel the enemy!” Wen Gan and Liu Che immediately organized the troops.

“Prepare for battle!”

The soldiers of the Xiandeng Camp and Zhenwei Camp, hearing the order, immediately drew their blades from their waists, ready for a fierce fight.

Upon seeing their forms, there was no doubt they were from the Human Race!

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong was furious. On his journey to the capital to serve the King, he had constantly been obstructed by the local Families, but he had never seen anyone dare to engage the Rebellion Suppression Army with weapons.

He hadn't expected that in this desolate place, the hidden forces trying to stop him had finally made their move!

“I am General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong! How dare you commit treason!”

The enemies did not reply, but attacked from all directions, about to form a encirclement.

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong narrowed his eyes, not seeing the enemy's hidden leader.

Since the opponents dared to act, they must have known that the Human Rebellion Quelling Army were elite soldiers, difficult to deal with, and that General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong was also present.

For them to want to kill him, at least a Divine Being would have to make a move!

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong leaped into the air, Asura Power possessing him, Killing Intent overflowing, True Qi surging!

Killing Intent Wave!

A powerful Killing Intent immediately emanated from General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong. The masked figures charging from all around instantly felt a sharp pain in their hearts, their bodies arched, and they fell from their horses.

Dozens of people fell in this manner.

However, the number of masked figures was extremely large, a dense black mass, appearing to be several thousand strong!

Behind General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong were his own soldiers, making it difficult to use indiscriminate area-of-effect killing methods like Killing Intent Storm or Great Path Divine Lightning. He could only watch as the enemies charged forward.

Of course, the soldiers of the Rebellion Suppression Army were not mere infants; without General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong’s help, they still possessed extremely high combat power.

Wen Gan roared, “Repel the invaders!”

In an instant, the two sides engaged in close combat. The nearly two thousand Rebellion Suppression Army soldiers and several thousand enemy troops immediately became entangled.

Various True Qi powers were released, and explosions constantly occurred on the desert ground.

A flash of white light appeared in General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong’s hand, and a blood blade materialized.

With a few swings, a swathe of masked figures fell.

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong continuously swung his blade, attacking from all sides, moving as if in an uninhabited land.

“Who is the hidden expert? Do you dare to come out and fight me, General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong! Don’t cower behind and watch your people die!”

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong mounted his horse and spurred it on. Now, he was like a Dragon entering the sea, moving freely through the midst of the vast army!

Wen Gan and Liu Che also led their troops in resolute resistance. The entire battlefield was a bloody mess, truly gruesome.

Suddenly, several masked figures leaped up, exerting their combined strength, True Qi flowing, and unleashed terrifying light cannons at General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong.

They were all at the Venerable Realm, and the light cannons they fired were incredibly terrifying. If they hit the Physical Body, they would be enough to bring down a Divine Being!

But if they were truly Divine Beings, how could they be hit by a Venerable’s attack?

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong raised the blood blade in his hand, releasing Asura Killing Qi. With this Demon-Sealing Soul-Devouring Slash, he blocked the several beams of light fired by the Venerables.

The several Venerables were immediately greatly alarmed.

“General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong is indeed an Asura! He can actually withstand our combined assault!”

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong snorted coldly, leaped from his horse, and directly charged at one of the Venerables with his blade raised.

That Venerable’s entire body stiffened, unable to move, looking at General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong as if he was staring at his own death.

Extreme Killing Intent!

Despair, a deep despair, filled the Venerable’s entire being.

By the time he recovered, General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong had already slashed his blade across his neck.

Pfft—

Blood gushed out, and the Venerable’s head flew off.

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong showed not the slightest wavering expression. Even if the opponent was from the Human Race, as long as they threatened his life, he would never show mercy, only full-force slaughter!

He kicked the headless Venerable’s body, using the momentum to leap and attack another Venerable.

The Venerables were greatly alarmed, shouting, “No!”

General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong reached one person and did not stop.

“Since you want to wage war with me, you must be prepared to die!”
