Chapter 746: The Heavens Wish to Destroy My Ji Province!

However, Xia Hanzhou's expression remained calm, even appearing unconcerned.

An immensely powerful Eighth-Order has fallen, and the Great Xia Directorate of Celestial Affairs is leading a million-strong army toward the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods.

Subsequently, Chen Qi of Chen Province and the Eighth-Orders of three provinces are leading a million-strong army to head there as well.

Between these two, there is a dislocation of time and space, but both will converge at the exit of the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods.

Regardless of whether Lu Xunyang appears, a great battle between the two armies is inevitable.

These are armies formed by martial artists above the Origin Realm, the very foundation of the nation.

It appears to be an army marching forward.

In reality, on the side of the Five Clans, a Province Lord will certainly be following.

On the side of Great Xia, the Xia Lord Sword will certainly be deployed as well.

This is an open conspiracy.

And Xia Hanzhou has long since locked onto the positions of the lords of several provinces by relying on the Xia Lord Sword.

With the Xia Lord Sword in his possession, even if he cannot win, he can still protect himself.

This is the weight of the number one divine artifact in the world.

Such an important object, if it were to fall into the hands of Lu Xunyang, would be unimaginable.

"I do not know what kind of plan Chen Yan actually thought of, but this moment is indeed when our Five Clans' strength is hollowed out."

The Chi Lord spoke.

"The Five Clans' strength is hollowed out, but isn't Great Xia the same?" the Chi Lord's voice came.

The two of them cryptically avoided saying the name of the Yu Lord.

The intentions of the Yu Lord are known to all under heaven.

To put it nicely, he keeps the universe in his heart and cannot bear to see the human race in internal strife.

To put it bluntly, he is a fence-sitter.

In the chaos of Ji Province, it is highly likely that the Yu Lord will not show his face.

If an ordinary person did this, whether it were the Four Clans or Great Xia, they would be directly suppressed and killed, teaching you how to behave.

But this is the Yu Lord, who possesses powerful technological weapons and unknown deterrent power in his hands.

It is the unknown that makes people wary, so they do not say much, but instead try their best to win him over.

Xia Hanzhou's eyes flashed with cold light:

"Are you trying to trap me?"

He knew that he himself was not the most important thing; what mattered was the Xia Lord Sword behind him.

With Lu Xunyang present, the Five Clans could not allow the Xia Lord Sword to return.

But the problem is, do the current Chen Lord and the others know that Lu Xunyang has come out?

Lu Xunyang has never shown his face from beginning to end.

Xia Hanzhou's eyes flickered, preparing to activate the Xia Lord Sword.

And it was at this very moment.

The power restraints coming from the lords of the three provinces had already arrived.

The Chen Lord and the others were clearly intending to stop Xia Hanzhou.

Xia Hanzhou sneered: "Then none of us will go back; we shall just watch the battle from here."

In the distance, the Chen Lord suddenly laughed softly:

"Xia Hanzhou, you are too confident. The Xia Lord Sword can keep you from dying, but relying on the Xia Lord Sword, you cannot stop all of us."

Xia Hanzhou narrowed his eyes.

Yet at this very moment.

Hum, hum, hum!!!

The stars suddenly shone brilliantly and emerged.

One figure after another erupted with divine radiance, surrounding Xia Hanzhou in the center.

Chen Qi and the other Chen Province elders, Chi Province elders, and some Eighth-Orders who were not ranked as senior elders appeared—a total of more than ten figures standing in the void, staring at Xia Hanzhou.

"So many people?" Xia Hanzhou's brows lifted slightly:

"You think too highly of me."

However, the moment his voice fell, his expression changed slightly.

Because he did not see the senior elders of Lu Province.

In an instant, Xia Hanzhou's expression shifted.

Yet he saw, high in the distant firmament.

The golden lion flame that had been entrenched in the sky dissipated, transforming into the appearance of the Chen Lord, but this 'Chen Lord' quickly dissolved into residual blood energy.

"Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill?!" Xia Hanzhou's eyes turned sharp.

【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】, the second divine technique in the world.

So the Chen Lord knew it too.

That 'Lu Lord' he had locked onto was fake from the very beginning; it was a transformation of the Chen Lord's blood energy clone.

But why?

Can a blood energy clone not only last for fifteen minutes?

Xia Hanzhou sensed it extremely clearly; that 'Lu Lord' had been locked onto by him from the very start.

And he still did not know how many blood energy clones the Chen Lord could condense.

Xia Hanzhou's heart sank.

The Master of Lu has not come over; has the Master of Lu been within Lu Province all this time?!

In a distant direction.

The Master of Chen's entire body glowed with brilliance, transforming into a stream of light as he flew toward where the Five Clans were located, covering ten thousand miles in an instant.

【World Instant】!

The fifth greatest divine technique in the world!

Hum!

The sound of a sword ringing arose!

Brilliant sword light intertwined, and endless sword light kneaded heaven and earth into a ball, slashing toward where the Master of Chen was located.

The Master of Chen raised a palm, and a Qi-blood clone suddenly condensed behind him, only to be slashed in two by this sword.

But this was only for an instant; the Master of Chen once again activated 【World Instant】, and he was another ten thousand miles away.

It was as if he were merely strolling calmly, the mountains and rivers beneath his feet shrinking infinitely; casting 【World Instant】 was as simple as breathing.

Xia Hanzhou's expression was as gloomy as ice.

How many more methods does the Master of Chen have that he has not yet displayed?

"Stop him," the Master of Chen said calmly.

"Yes!" Chen Qi and the others responded, pressing toward Xia Hanzhou.

Rumble!!!

High in the distant sky, that star where ice and fire coexisted pressed down upon the realm, spitting out seas of fire and domains of ice as it came to kill Xia Hanzhou.

"Stop me?" Xia Hanzhou's expression was icy cold:

"With the Master of Xia's sword present, who can stop me?!"

Rumble!

In an instant, the sound of explosions rang out.

The sky and sea shattered, the vast ocean was severed, and terrifying sword light that seemed to burn the heavens and boil the seas rose up!

…………

Ji Province!

Boom!!!

Chen Yan held his spear horizontally with one hand and stepped out, as if carrying the power of the world to directly suppress them.

The Fourth Marshal and the Fifth Marshal were shocked and hurriedly raised their weapons to block.

The moment the long spear collided with the weapons in their hands, they felt as if a mountain range were pressing down directly, causing the veins on their arms to bulge.

Their feet plowed long, void cracks into the emptiness.

"Audacious brat!!!"

A voice of furious rage rang out.

Under a single sword strike from the Grand Marshal of Ji Province, ten thousand layers of blood-bone killing intent shattered and soared to the heavens; terrifying power surged within his body, erupting in a series of terrifying roars like the heartbeat of the world.

It was also at this moment.

The Second Marshal of Ji Province suddenly intercepted the Grand Marshal.

The Grand Marshal's expression changed slightly as he looked at the Second Marshal.

Yet he saw that the Second Marshal was looking backward.

Over there.

The Master of Ji stood calmly as always.

Yet it was also at this moment.

Click, click, click!!!

The void in front of the Master of Ji suddenly cracked, a pair of large hands tore through the firmament, and a figure in white stepped out from the nothingness in an instant.

In just a flash, the figure flickered and appeared before the Master of Ji, pressing down with a punch that dragged a golden tail flame like a meteor, scorching the heavens and earth, impossible to resist.

At this moment, all the Marshals of Ji Province changed color in unison.

On the ground, strong practitioners watching this scene were shocked beyond words.

The Master of Ji's eyes narrowed, feeling the terrifying fist wind approaching; his entire exquisite face felt as if it were being suppressed, his skin and flesh rippling.

"You have truly emerged!"

The Master of Ji roared:

"Lu Xunyang!!!"

Shock and terrifying momentum exploded above the Wang Ting.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Ji Yanqing even screamed out loud; seeing that figure, he felt as if every particle in his body were wailing.

Terrifying memories belonging to the past rushed in in an instant.

Even the Grand Marshal of Ji Province's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Heaven!!!"

Someone screamed out, trembling uncontrollably all over.

Lu Xunyang has appeared!

The next instant.

Boom!!!

The two fists slammed together.

A massive fist collided with Lu Xunyang's fist.

A terrifying wave of energy instantly exploded from above the Wang Ting, whipping up a hurricane and overturning the earth and layers of clouds.

Below, the entire palace was blasted to pieces.

Zhao Zhugui, who had been sitting calmly, was instantly blown away, but a precious light emerged around his body, protecting him.

Lu Xunyang's eyes showed a hint of astonishment as he looked at the person who had traded blows with him.

That man had an ordinary appearance, yet carried an air of natural authority; his golden robe billowed in the sky, incomparably domineering.

"Lu Ya, you really were waiting for me."

Lu Xunyang looked at the Lu Lord with indifferent eyes and spoke calmly.

Hum, hum, hum!!!

Powerful auras emerged one after another; six supreme Eighth-Rankers appeared beside the Lu Lord, their cold eyes fixed on Lu Xunyang.

Six Elders of Lu Province!

Clang!

The Ji Province Empress, clad in pitch-black battle armor, glanced at Zhao Zhugui below, a long, pitch-black metal spike appearing in her hand as the blood energy within her body began to rapidly revive.

"Six Eighth-Rankers, two Clan Lords—is this lineup enough to deal with you?" the Ji Lord said icily.

If she had wanted to kill Chen Yan, she would have acted personally long ago; staying above the Wang Ting was merely to wait for Lu Xunyang.

No matter how powerful Lu Xunyang was, he was only at the peak of the Eighth Rank.

The Lu Lord stared at Lu Xunyang, a ferocious look appearing in his eyes:

"Today is the day you, this traitor, die!"

Boom!

The Lu Lord's shoulder suddenly exploded, turning into minced flesh and bone fragments that splattered outward.

His entire face still held astonishment, but his body was thrown backward.

Just now, in that seemingly plain exchange of blows, Lu Xunyang had actually stored a force capable of destroying his life-energy within his arm.

A sudden turn of events.

The Ji Lord's pupils constricted; the spike in her hand erupted with jade light as she thrust it at Lu Xunyang.

Lu Xunyang swung out a palm; with a squelch, the spike pierced his palm, but Lu Xunyang's hand also seized the hand the Ji Lord was using to hold the spike.

The Ji Lord's pupils constricted as a powerful force instantly surged over, intending to suppress her.

Hum, hum, hum!

The aura of life and death erupted, and the two exchanged thousands of blows in an instant!

Lu Xunyang turned his body sideways and launched a kick, aiming at an Eighth-Ranker charging toward him.

This was just...

A plain and unremarkable side kick.

The next instant.

Boom!!!!

The sky exploded, and a blood mist splattered.

Heaven and earth wept blood; an Eighth-Ranker had fallen!!!

It happened suddenly!

No one had time to react.

One of the six Lu Province Elders, dead!

The Lu Lord gritted his teeth, staring fixedly at Lu Xunyang at this moment, completely enraged.

"You will die today!!!" he roared.

Boom!!!

Golden-red light erupted from Lu Xunyang's physical body, the waves of force crashing like reefs, illuminating the heavens.

"Is this all the people you have to deal with me? Do you look down on me, Lu Xunyang?!"

He pressed forward with a punch, heading straight for the Lu Lord, even twisting the Ji Lord's arm until blood flowed.

"Trash!"

"No matter how many years pass, you are still trash!"

The vast pressure of a Divine General descended, the firmament above the Wang Ting became chaotic, and countless screams rang out.

In the distance.

The Grand Marshal and others watched in shock.

"Finish off Chen Yan and go save the Lord!!!" the Grand Marshal roared:

"All the people of Ji Province, everyone can be a soldier!"

"This is the moment of life and death for our Ji Province!!!"

His voice resounded over Ji Province, filled with urgency, panic, and fury.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

On the earth, flashes of light appeared one after another, countless streams of blood energy surged into the sky, and force galloped.

Densely packed, hundreds of thousands, millions of martial artists roared and surged from all over Ji Province, flying and running toward the location of the Wang Ting.

"Save the Lord!"

"Ahhhhh, my Ji Province is going to perish!!!"

"The sky has collapsed!"

"Save our Lord, ahhhhh!!!"

"Two Divine Generals, two Divine Generals—they haven't appeared in ten thousand years, why today of all days?!"

"Heaven wants to destroy my Jizhou, Heaven wants to end me!!!"

"Kill, ah, ah, ah!!!"

Roars of fury and heart-wrenching grief resounded throughout the entire territory of Jizhou.

An aura like the destruction of the world spread frantically.

Even those in the Origin Realm, at this moment, flew out from the earth as densely as a beehive, coming to kill Chen Yan.

Mad!

The Grand Marshal's eyes were split with rage as he looked fiercely toward the rear, where Chen Yan alone was suppressing two Grand Marshals, and those two Grand Marshals were clearly unable to hold on any longer!!!

"Damn it!" the Grand Marshal roared aloud.

At this moment, the sense of life and death, of survival, was exceptionally vivid.

A vast sword pressure descended from his body; he took a step forward, intending to kill Chen Yan with his own hands!

Yet, at this very moment.

A strange feeling flashed through his mind.

Why, when Lu Xunyang appeared, did he have no reaction at all, while the Second Marshal could predict it in advance?

Strange!

Strange!

The Grand Marshal's eyes were filled with fury, sword light surging; no matter how strange it was, he could not care about it now, and he pressed toward Chen Yan.

Yet, at this very moment.

A vast red light appeared beside him, standing shoulder to shoulder with him; it was the Second Marshal.

"Kill Chen Yan!"

The Second Marshal growled, his body's speed surpassing that of the Grand Marshal.

The Grand Marshal's eyes sharpened, and he let out a ferocious laugh, looking at Chen Yan as if looking at a corpse.

Suddenly.

Hum!!!

A streak of blood-colored light suddenly struck from the front, where the Second Marshal was.

Fast!

Fast to the extreme!

"Ji!!!" the Grand Marshal roared, and with a *puchi* sound, a blade of light pierced into his forehead.

The red-haired Second Marshal suddenly stopped in the void, stepped back with one foot, arched his body forward, and thrust his long blade backward from under his left armpit, piercing through the Grand Marshal's head.

At the Grand Marshal's death, his eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.

Behind him, Ji Yanqing and the other marshals opened their mouths wide, watching this scene in disbelief.

Far away above the Wang Ting, the Lord of Ji had a stiff expression, stunned into silence.

Yet, one saw the long blade in the Second Marshal's hand rotate.

In an instant.

Boom!

The Grand Marshal's head was torn apart by the blade light like a watermelon.

Hum!!!

Heaven and Earth wept blood; an Eighth-Rank had fallen.

The Second Marshal, wearing golden armor, had a brilliant light emerge from his body, and his features changed, transforming into a thin, middle-aged man who looked seventy percent similar to Xia Qi.

He glared at the entire Jizhou, glared at all the Jizhou marshals, and roared:

"Traitorous subjects of Jizhou, today you shall all die for me!!!"

Shock.

Fear instantly pierced into the depths of everyone's hearts and minds.

Someone opened their mouth wide, struggling to roar:

"Xia Yuan!!!"

That was the long-dead elder brother of Xia Qi, the other deputy general of Lu Xunyang.

The original ruler of the Xia clan, Xia Yuan!
