Chapter 813: Great Battle!

Furthermore.

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Qi's mouth.

This person, Xia Hanzhou, values the interests of a nation too highly; he would not lose the big for the sake of the small.

If Xia Hanzhou were not such a person, then Qinzhou would not have fallen into such chaos right under his nose back then.

This person is the pillar of Great Xia, and everything is centered on the interests of Great Xia.

Above Xiaoyang.

Xia Hanzhou stood suspended in the air, his green robes fluttering with the long wind, his expression solemn as congealed frost.

He stared coldly at Chen Qi; as he raised his hand, his sleeves rolled like flowing clouds, and as they fell, a force of a thousand jun seemed hidden within his palms.

"Shen Yiwei!" Xia Hanzhou spoke.

"Present!" Shen Yiwei's expression was solemn, the Reverse Nine Sword appeared in his hand, and sword light spilled forth.

"Jiang Yuan!"

"Present!" Jiang Yuan was astonished to the extreme; Xia Hanzhou was truly going to start a war.

"Zhang Ting."

"Present!"

"Lu Jingqiu!"

"Present!"

"Ke Qingxuan."

"Present."

Ke Qingxuan stepped out, dressed in black, her expression icy, as if she cared for nothing in this world.

Xia Hanzhou continued to call the roll.

"Zong Heng, Li Muyun..."

Right until the end, Xia Hanzhou looked at Zhang Xing:

"Zhang Xing."

Zhang Xing's expression was calm, and he bowed:

"Zhang Xing is present."

Xia Hanzhou turned sideways, standing with his hands behind his back:

"I order you all to form a surprise attack team and immediately head to Yixian to rescue the Min Battalion and the Tiger Dragon Battalion military guards!"

Boom!

A powerful aura spilled from Xia Hanzhou's body:

"Xia Long!"

"Present!" Xia Long appeared.

In the distant reaches, the people of the Five Clans all revealed astonishment, and Chen Qi furrowed his brows.

Yet, above Xiaoyang, Xia Hanzhou shouted loudly:

"Immediately organize the entire army to counterattack the Five Clans!"

"Yes!"

The next instant.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

The firmament trembled, and war drums sounded in unison!

At Xia Hanzhou's command, thousands of pillars of blood-Qi erupted suddenly above Xiaoyang.

"He's mad!"

Chen Qi let out a low roar; he had not expected Xia Hanzhou to initiate a decisive battle so easily.

His pupils erupted with cold light, and after staring fixedly at Xia Hanzhou, he gave an order:

"Begin the war!"

The next instant.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

On the side of the Allied Forces, the prepared laser turrets fired scorching white light flames in unison.

Yet they were first met by a sword flash that surged out from Xiaoyang.

"Reverse Nine, Slash!"

The Reverse Nine Sword in Shen Yiwei's hand burst with blinding cold light; where the sword tip pointed, the space shattered inch by inch like a mirror.

Jiang Yuan, Zhang Ting, and the others followed behind, all striking at once.

"Golden Willow Plunge!"

Lu Jingqiu pressed her two fingers to her lips, and instantly, ten thousand golden willow leaves fell with a rustle, exploding against all the incoming laser beams.

The next instant.

"Kill!!!"

Accompanied by a million shouts and roars condensed into one,

countless dense streams of light surged out from within Xiaoyang.

"Kill!!!"

On the side of the Five Clans, a million-strong army also surged forth.

Like two steel torrents colliding, the firmament shattered, and artillery fire roared in unison.

The surprise attack team composed of Shen Yiwei and the others acted like a sharp blade, tearing directly through the Five Clans' defensive line and flying toward the south of Yixian City.

"Stop them!"

Chen Qi gave the order, and the peak Creation Realm experts behind him took command, transforming into streams of light as they charged toward Shen Yiwei and the others.

"Go to hell!"

A Five-Clan Creation Realm expert launched an attack directly, raising both hands high to condense a pitch-black giant sphere between their palms; like a black hole reappearing, it was instantly hurled toward Shen Yiwei.

"Come and try this young master's new move!"

Jiang Yuan shouted coldly, pressing his palms together as nine blood-colored vortices emerged behind him, swallowing the light while shredding the hundred-mile cloud layer into dust.

Boom!

The blood-colored vortices collided with the pitch-black sphere, causing even the hundred-mile void to cave in.

"Inverse Nine—Sword Without Trace!"

Shen Yiwei held his long sword against his chest, and instantly, a massive sword shadow shielded everyone among them.

Wherever the sword shadow passed, the speed was astonishing.

"Conserve your strength first, and link up with the Min-character Battalion and the Tiger-Dragon Battalion!"

Shen Yiwei spoke.

Everyone nodded.

Above the battlefield, Chen Qi and Xia Hanzhou met.

"You have exceeded my expectations this time." Chen Qi spoke, stroking his beard as he sized up Xia Hanzhou.

"The Blood Brand, I want it too." Xia Hanzhou sat down, though his eyes remained fixed on Li Zhiyi in the far distance.

Chen Qi narrowed his eyes, then laughed:

"Not to mention whether Shen Yiwei and the others can survive, but just regarding this Min-character Battalion and Tiger-Dragon Battalion, do you think they can hold on?"

Xia Hanzhou choked, then sneered:

"The rule that the Eighth Rank does not enter the battle saved you, otherwise I would have wiped you out with my own hands long ago.

I will tell you, there is a gap even within the Eighth Rank."

Chen Qi was silent, merely glancing at Xia Hanzhou.

As for Xia Hanzhou, his expression grew colder and colder, and beneath his sleeves, his hands clenched tighter.

Southern Yixian City.

Roar!

The tattered golden dragon surged continuously, weaving between vines that suddenly rose from the earth.

"Keep going!"

Chen Min laughed:

"They cannot condense a giant wall for the time being; as long as it is just these individual vines growing to block us, we don't need to ram through them, we just need to dodge!"

Previously, the Jizhou Army had expended a great deal to condense the giant vine wall.

Now that the giant wall had been broken through by the golden dragon, the Jizhou Army could only frantically condense individual sky-piercing vines to obstruct the golden dragon's progress.

Li Zhiyi's expression, however, held no joy; under his control, the golden dragon moved at extreme speed.

But it was constantly blocked by the suddenly rising vines, and its forward speed was not fast.

Yet it was also at this moment.

"Not good!"

Jidao Wu suddenly spoke, his face changing drastically.

But looking below.

"Poison Rose Strangling Array!"

The golden-armored man's eyes were splitting with rage, his violent roar echoing across the battlefield.

Below, the Jizhou Army suddenly changed formation, the blue-purple array patterns on their battle armor wriggling like living things.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and countless poison vines as thick as giant pythons burst from the soil.

"Quick, dodge!" Mu Zigui hurriedly spoke:

"It's poisonous!"

Li Zhiyi's expression changed.

Ang!

The golden dragon's tattered body suddenly raised its head, and at this moment, it instantly charged toward the dome, crashing through layers of clouds and mist, darting straight toward the vast and endless starry sky.

Chen Youqing saw this scene, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth:

"Do you think you can escape just like this?"

The next moment.

The firmament suddenly darkened, and tens of thousands of roses spat out poison mist simultaneously; the deep blue haze rolled over like a tide, and wherever it passed, even the air was corroded, hissing with white smoke.

Inside the dragon's body, tens of thousands of soldiers looked down, their expressions changing one by one.

That deep blue poison was surging toward them at an extremely fast speed.

Roar!

The golden dragon roared, erupting with its fastest speed at this moment.

The next moment.

Yet the poison mist still struck.

Sss, sss, sss!

The giant dragon's body was corroded by the poison mist and shattered instantly; within the exposed dragon body, the soldiers could be seen bathed in blood, yet they still gritted their teeth and poured their Qi and blood into the array.

Li Zhiyi's expression sank in an instant.

He could feel that the Great Xia Dragon Grinding Array was about to collapse.

Woo!

A sound of mournful wailing suddenly erupted from the golden dragon's mouth.

Below.

Sss, sss, sss!

Poisonous vines lashed out like a giant wave, the poisonous thorns on them suddenly growing wildly, instantly transforming into ten thousand rain-blades that pierced into the golden dragon's body.

"Li Zhiyi!"

Jidao Wu roared, his physical body also being pierced through by the tree root thorns.

In the distance, Chen Youqing laughed softly.

The one who assembled the Rose Array was a rare Array Master Supreme among the Five Clans, capable of crafting Sun-level arrays.

Although military arrays do not require an Array Master, if a powerful Array Master acts as the array eye to control it, the power of the military array can be increased several times over.

"Alright, it is time to close the net."

Chen Youqing said via light voice transmission.

"Yes!"

The golden-armored man below hurriedly saluted and waved one hand.

Boom!

Above the vault of heaven, flying mechanical bodies appeared, hovering over the golden dragon that could no longer struggle.

With a *pu* sound.

The flying mechanical bodies simultaneously spat out golden nets, these nets binding together as they fell.

Instantly shrouding the shattered golden dragon.

Woo!

A low dragon cry resounded.

The giant golden dragon captured by the golden nets instantly plummeted from the vault of heaven.

Boom!

The moment the golden dragon struck the earth, its scales shattered and scattered, splashing golden light.

Following that, it transformed into a sky full of golden light that dissipated with a rustle, leaving only a wisp of golden mist lingering in the low air.

The next moment.

The ten thousand military guards within the golden dragon were exposed to the air; they were unable to move, each struggling, their eyes burning red with rage.

Li Zhiyi was suppressed by the golden nets, his eyes cold; for a moment, he was actually unable to stand up at all, and the Blood Brand in his hand was vibrating frantically.

"In the end... is it still not enough?"

Mu Zigui hung her head, tears falling from her eyes, and then hatred emerged from the bottom of her heart:

"Why did you betray us?"

Bang!

She pounded the ground with her fists:

"Why?!"

Her love was deep, and her hatred was sharp.

If Xi Congyun had not betrayed them, Xi Congyun, who could craft Bright Moon-level Grade A arrays, would definitely have been able to perform better than Li Zhiyi.

This scene happened suddenly.

Shen Yiwei and the others, who were still rushing toward this side, instantly had their expressions turn ugly.

Above the battle line.

Chen Qi saw this scene, a trace of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:

"Look, what is the use of you struggling so much? I truly did not expect that you would actually adopt such a low-class measure."

Xia Hanzhou saw this scene, and his heart also turned cold.

Indeed, he should not have taken the risk.

"I have lived too long after all, following the old ways my whole life without reform, staying within the rules."

Xia Hanzhou shook his head:

"But the more I am like this, the more Great Xia declines day by day.

I have thought carefully, discerned clearly, and practiced earnestly.

Yet, what it brought about was disaster!"

Chen Qi glanced sideways at Xia Hanzhou.

In his view, Xia Hanzhou had only done one thing wrong.

That was to go against the era.

"But you have also seen it; the more you struggle, the greater the disappointment you will invite."

Xia Hanzhou remained silent, looking at Li Zhiyi and the others who had already been captured, his heart growing colder and colder.

A flickering light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the Grand Minister behind him.

The Minister little nun's expression changed instantly, and a Star Ruler appeared in her hand.

Chen Qi's expression stiffened:

"You want to break the rule that Tier 8s do not enter the battle?

Chen Yan is dead, have you gone mad?!"

Xia Hanzhou said nothing.

Yet at this very moment, he suddenly looked toward a certain spot.

Pool Master!

The Pool Master has come.

Xia Hanzhou's heart grew colder and colder; the Pool Master was actually still overseeing the battle in Great Xia.

Damn it!

A vicious light erupted in the depths of Xia Hanzhou's eyes, becoming increasingly ruthless.

Yet at this very moment.

Roar!

A sudden roar shook the heavens and the earth.

Chen Qi and Xia Hanzhou hurriedly looked over.

And saw!

In the southern part of Yixian City, a giant wrapped in golden light leaped abruptly from the ground.

The giant's body spanned the heavens and earth, its burly frame making the world shine, its right hand gripping a blood blade, the blade dripping with blood.

As it erupted, golden light and blood color intertwined, shaking the surrounding dust into the sky!

This scene appeared suddenly.

Xia Hanzhou opened his mouth, filled with disbelief.

The smile on Chen Youqing's face vanished instantly, and he looked at this giant in shock.

"This!"

Chen Qi exclaimed in astonishment, his gaze looking toward the giant's chest.

And saw that Li Zhiyi's physical body had appeared with countless bloodstains, his entire body's undying will erupting, holding the Blood Brand, his eyes fierce.

"This is... the Saintly Image Array of Suppressing the Domain!"
