Chapter 1441

"Aaaah!"

In the sky, a giant eagle swooped down with a roar.

This was a mount Xia Yu had redeemed from the system.

He needed to end the battle quickly, so naturally, he required powerful combat strength.

On the giant eagle's back stood a tall, thin man with a sinister face.

Beneath his feet, a black dragon coiled upward.

It looked utterly ferocious.

Just then, the opponent looked down at the Northern Desert army and shouted.

"Dog thieves of the Xiongnu, today, I, by the mandate of heaven, come to punish the Xiongnu. Will you surrender or die!"

His voice was extremely cold.

It caused the Grand General of the Northern Desert to squint his eyes.

Because from the aura on the opponent, he could sense.

The opponent's strength was not weaker than his own, even vaguely stronger.

However, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, the Emperor of the Great Han has come in person; this general admires you. But with just a few trash like you, you think you can destroy my Northern Desert?

Truly a fool dreaming. Since you want to die so much, I will grant your wish!"

Killing intent boiled in his eyes.

He let out a loud shout and charged toward Xia Yu.

This was a martial artist at the Innate Realm, yet at this moment, he had completely transformed into a beast.

Green light glowed in his eyes.

Muscles knotted all over his body, as if about to explode.

With just one strike, he tore the air apart.

At this moment, Yuchi Gong rushed forward to block this Han man.

"Bang!"

Their fists clashed.

Both men retreated several steps.

This strike was evenly matched.

That Han man became even more excited.

"Han men are all worthless trash. No need to hold back; kill them all. I will take his head to sacrifice to the banner!"

The Han man roared out.

Hearing his words, the remaining Xiongnu people also surrounded them.

Yuchi Gong's expression became extremely ugly. If it were a one-on-one duel, victory would surely be his.

But now, the disparity between enemy and self was too great.

At this moment, Xia Yu remained much calmer and did not rush to act.

"Whoosh!"

Just as that Han man was about to pounce and kill, a long spear suddenly pierced through the air.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal colliding rang out, and that Han man's body involuntarily retreated several steps.

Behind him, a man clad in silver-white armor appeared.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, this man led a group of iron-blooded guards forward and stood on either side of Yuchi Gong.

"General Yuchi, lead your troops to break through; do not worry about me!"

That man spoke.

His voice was low and hoarse.

Yuchi Gong's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"You are... Zhang Xiu!"

He finally realized.

"It is I!"

The other party nodded.

Then, he turned his gaze toward Xia Yu.

Although his memory had recovered, he did not recognize the other party.

After all, Xia Yu's original form was just an ordinary soldier; how could he possibly know?

"This general, Yuchi Gong, pays respects to Lord Chancellor!"

Yuchi Gong bowed and said.

"Minister Yuchi, no need for ceremony!"

Xia Yu waved his hand and said.

At the same time, he signaled Li Cunxiao and Huang Zhong beside him to halt their attack.

Yuchi Gong was an old minister of the Great Han; if he perished here under his watch, he feared he himself would not escape responsibility.

And Yuchi Gong dared not disobey Xia Yu's order, so he immediately withdrew.

However, he still took three thousand Iron-Blood Guards with him.

Such a lineup is enough to offset an army of ten thousand.

"Good lad, you are the newly appointed Prime Minister of Great Han!"

Just then, the Grand General of Northern Mo spoke up, though his face was covered in frost.

"Indeed, it is I, the Emperor. I wonder, General, what advice do you have for me!"

Xia Yu asked with a smile.

"Hehe, Your Majesty of Great Han, you truly have courage to bring troops into Northern Mo."

This Xiongnu Grand General spoke, then pointed at the soldiers behind him.

"Our Northern Mo has a million brave soldiers, not comparable to this group of cowards from Great Han. With a single order from this General, I can wipe you out in an instant.

If you are sensible, surrender quietly; otherwise, do not blame this General for being ruthless."

Hearing these words, Yuchi Gong's expression turned extremely grim.

He never expected the Xiongnu to have plotted this long ago.

If there were only ten thousand Xiongnu, he would still have confidence to fight.

But now, the enemy has gathered a million-strong army; in that case, they are not even on the same level.

"Hehe, General, have you forgotten that this is on Great Han's soil? Moreover, even if you could escape, what then? Great Han's reinforcements will arrive at any moment.

By then, you will all die!"

Xia Yu said slowly.

These words immediately caused the other side to feel apprehension.

"However, if you release this Miss, I, the Emperor, can spare your life!"

Xia Yu continued speaking; in his hand, a pill was crushed.

"Boom!"

Above the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rolled, as vast dark clouds pressed down.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth surged, as if brewing something.

"This...!"

The face of that Great Han man instantly became extremely solemn.

This is tribulation lightning!
