Chapter 203

The Great Yan Army made a prompt decision.

Setting up several cannons and bombarding the Emerald Bamboo Forest indiscriminately.

Only then did they blast the Heavenly Machine Old Man into serious injury and successfully capture him.

"Your martial arts are the best in the world; I intend to hire you as the Chief Steward of the Inner Palace; are you willing to submit?"

Yan looked down at the old man in the cage and spoke slowly.

The old man sneered, not saying a word.

Even though he was seriously injured and dying.

He had no intention of begging for mercy.

Yan frowned.

From the eyes of the Heavenly Machine Old Man, he understood that this old man would never surrender.

"So be it."

He sighed, giving up the idea of subduing him.

Watching the old man in the cage die slowly because his serious injuries could not be treated...

After the Heavenly Machine Old Man died.

He turned around.

Looking at the Great Yan Army general behind him, he said in a deep voice: "Now, the top experts of this world have all been eliminated."

"I want to conquer this world within one year!"

"Understood!"

The Great Yan Army generals were fanatical and excited.

Subsequently.

Under Yan's leadership, they began to formulate a strategy for conquest.

"This Wu Xia world is about 20,000 kilometers in diameter, with a population of 800,000, and everyone practices martial arts."

"We are currently in the east of the world; let's attack the four directions first, and finally combine our forces to attack the center!"

"But we must consider one point: once we launch a full-scale invasion, we will inevitably encounter the Eight Great Sects and the obstruction of 800,000 martial artists!"

"The Eight Great Sects are not worth worrying about..."

Soon.

After formulating the overall strategy.

The one hundred thousand troops launched with a boom, combined into one, and appeared before the world.

Under the fierce offensive of muskets and cannons.

In just one month.

The Great Yan Army occupied all the eastern regions.

Capturing a large number of martial artists.

All were put in chains and transported back to the Blue Star through the world passage.

And the entire martial arts world...

Was greatly shaken by this.

Countless martial artists were in danger, and began to spontaneously flock to the Eight Great Sects.

The Eight Great Sects also united.

Gathering martial artists from the martial arts world, forming an army of hundreds of thousands of martial artists.

Setting up a battle line.

And began intense confrontations with the Great Yan Army.

However...

The weapons of the martial artist army were all short-range.

They couldn't block the collective shooting of muskets at all.

Even if they retreated to defend the city, under the attack of cannons, the city would soon crumble.

The defense line of the martial artist army was constantly collapsing.

The 32nd year of the Great Yan Calendar.

End of the year.

"Boom!"

With the last roar of the cannons.

The last city in the center of the Wu Xia world was also opened by the Great Yan Army using violent means.

"Surrender and you will be spared!"

"Resist and you will be killed!"

A voice echoed over the city.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Under the suppression of musket firepower, those martial artists who still wanted to put up a desperate struggle were all riddled with bullets.

The remaining martial artists, who were scared out of their wits...

Raised their hands one after another.

Resigned to surrender.

"After one year, I have finally conquered this world..."

Yan stepped onto the city tower, filled with emotion.

In this year.

He had been staying on the front line.

Commanding the Great Yan Army to attack cities and seize land.

It was also in this battle...

That he witnessed the terror of muskets and cannons with his own eyes.

Those powerful martial artists.

Before muskets and cannons, they had no power to fight back.

Even the most powerful Nine Great Sect Masters and the Heavenly Machine Old Man could not escape death.

"Is this... the power of technology that the god spoke of?"

Yan muttered.

There was a fire burning in his eyes.

Vaguely, he seemed to understand what technology is.

The original Great Yan Army could not have been the match of these martial artists at all.

These martial artists practiced martial arts from a young age, and some even cultivated True Qi.

In terms of one-on-one combat.

Each could fight ten or a hundred.

But the Great Yan Army vs the martial artist army...

Was a one-sided crushing!

The reason was that they invented gunpowder.

And improved gunpowder to create powerful muskets and cannons.

But...

He also had self-knowledge.

The power of muskets and cannons, compared to those immortal cultivators, Witch race, and elves, was still too weak.

Those immortal cultivators, Witch race, and elves, with a wave of their hands...

Could unleash attacks more powerful than cannons!

Those cultivators, Ancestral Witches, and elves, with every gesture...

could unleash attacks more powerful than artillery!
