Chapter 235

As if those five hundred thousand troops were merely five hundred thousand ants in his eyes.

He looked at Xu Xu Weixiong and asked calmly, "Are the war supplies in the city and our troops all arranged?"

Xu Xu Weixiong replied respectfully, "Reporting to Master, everything has been arranged properly."

"The remaining troops of Northern Liang, the Northern Mang experts brought by Miss Nangong, plus the reinforcements sent by the forces under your command, Master."

"We have now assembled a total of... one hundred thousand troops in Jubei City."

"However, one hundred thousand against five hundred thousand, the disparity in strength is vast; this battle... I fear it will be quite difficult."

Her voice was filled with worry.

However, when Ning Chuan heard her words, he chuckled, his voice filled with endless confidence and the arrogance of one who looks down upon the world:

"One hundred thousand?"

"Enough."

"Let's go."

"Follow me... to Jubei City."

"Let those so-called Northern Mang iron cavalry see what... true despair is."

Jubei City.

On the city walls, the one hundred thousand Northern Liang troops were already in battle formation.

Although they were far fewer in number than the approaching Northern Mang iron cavalry.

Every one of their faces was written with unyielding determination.

In their eyes, there was not a trace of fear, only a burning, crazy fighting spirit like a raging fire!

Because they knew that behind them stood an existence like a god!

A supreme monarch who could summon the divine thunder of the nine heavens, suppress land immortals, and annihilate three hundred thousand troops!

With this "Purple Heaven Dragon King" here, they had nothing to fear!

Below the city walls, tens of thousands of martial artists who had heard the news and rushed over from all directions had also gathered.

Some of them were there to witness this world-shaking battle that would be recorded in history.

Some were there to fish in troubled waters, seeing if they could gain some benefits in this chaos.

But there were also many who came with a sincere heart of chivalry to help.

They knew that the people of Northern Mang were cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, and wherever they passed, not a blade of grass would grow, and not even chickens or dogs would be left alive.

If these five hundred thousand Northern Mang iron cavalry were allowed to break through Jubei City and drive straight in.

Then the entire Central Plains would be plunged into misery, with blood flowing like rivers!

This was something they absolutely did not want to see!

Among the crowd.

The world's number one sword saint, Ge Nie, was still in a white long robe, holding Yuanhong, watching the monstrous baleful aura approaching from afar with a calm expression.

Jing Tianming, beside him, was clenching his fists nervously, his eyes filled with worry.

Not far away, two young men, looking about twenty years old, with completely different temperaments but equally heroic and extraordinary, stood side by side with solemn expressions.

One, with a tall posture and handsome face, his eyes flashing with confidence and unruliness, was the young commander Kou Zhong, who had practiced the Longevity Secret and was known as one of the "Yangzhou Twin Dragons."

The other, with a steady temperament and deep eyes, as if he could see through the world and human hearts, was his good brother, Xu Xu Ziling.

The two of them had also heard the news of the world-shaking battle about to take place in Northern Liang and had come specifically from the south to contribute their meager strength to protecting the Central Plains.

And in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd.

A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a pale purple long dress, her face covered with a light veil, exuding an innate noble and mysterious aura, was quietly watching the direction of Jubei City.

Her beautiful eyes, hidden beneath the veil, flashed with complex and unclear light, as if waiting for something.

This person was none other than the extraordinary woman born in Northern Mang, who had close ties with the Northern Mang Imperial House and carried the great fortune of heaven and earth—Huyan Guanyin.

Below the city walls, there was much discussion, filled with tension and unease.

"It's coming! It's coming! I can feel it! That... that terrifying baleful aura that makes even the heavens tremble!"

"My god! Is... is this the might of the five hundred thousand Northern Mang iron cavalry?! People haven't even arrived, and just this aura alone makes us feel terrified and unable to breathe!"

"Too... too terrifying! The Northern Mang military god, Tuoba Pusa, is said to have strength that has long surpassed the realm of ordinary land immortals! Coupled with the baleful aura of this five hundred thousand-strong army, his strength is probably... already enough to rival a true celestial immortal?!"

"This Jubei City, although known as a majestic pass, only has one hundred thousand troops! One hundred thousand against five hundred thousand! With such a vast disparity in strength, can... can it be held?!"

"Yes, yes! That Purple Heaven Dragon King, although possessing vast magical powers, is... after all, only one person! Can he really, with his own strength, fight against this five hundred thousand-strong army of tigers and wolves?!"

"..."

Everyone's heart was filled with worry and uncertainty.

They all wanted to know what kind of ending this world-shaking battle with such a disparity in strength would ultimately have.

Just then!

A huge cloud of dust that blotted out the sky rose from the distant horizon!

Immediately after, the earth-shaking sound of hooves, like muffled thunder, rolled in from the end of the horizon!

The earth began to tremble violently!

As if thousands of troops and horses were galloping out from hell!

The Northern Mang army had arrived!

A sea of black, like a tide, the endless Northern Mang iron cavalry appeared in everyone's sight!

They wore pitch-black heavy armor, held sharp spears and scimitars, and the warhorses under their crotches were also covered in thick iron armor, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes, filled with bloodthirst and violence!

Five hundred thousand troops gathered together to form a steel torrent capable of crushing everything and destroying everything!

That sky-high iron-blooded baleful aura condensed into a thousand-foot-tall phantom of a demon god, holding a giant axe, with a ferocious face, roaring above the Northern Mang army, exuding a terrifying pressure that made people despair!

At the very front of the army formation.

A majestic man, wearing golden battle armor, with a physique as sturdy as a mountain, a face as cold as ice, and holding a halberd in his hand, was riding on an incredibly divine black warhorse.

He was none other than the one who commanded the five hundred thousand troops, known as the "Northern Mang Military God"... Tuoba Pusa!

He just sat there quietly, and the terrifying aura he exuded, perfectly fused with the baleful aura of the army formation, was enough to make any land immortal change color!

He looked at Jubei City, which was swaying in the wind, as if it could be trampled flat by the five hundred thousand iron cavalry behind him at any moment.

A sneer of disdain curled at the corner of his mouth.

He used a voice like a great bell, containing endless majesty and dominance, to loudly challenge:

"Listen, Purple Heaven Dragon King in the city!"

"I, Tuoba Pusa, have personally led five hundred thousand troops to your gates!"

"If you are sensible, open the city gates obediently and surrender!"

"I might, for the sake of your hard-earned cultivation, spare your life and let you serve my Northern Mang!"

"If you dare to resist, then on the day I break through the city, I will surely pull the tendons and peel the skin of you little mud loach, grind your bones, and scatter your ashes! I will slaughter all one hundred thousand defenders in Jubei City, as well as all the people in the city! Not even a chicken or dog will be left!"

His voice was filled with unquestionable dominance and bloody threats!

However, on the city walls of Jubei City, there was... silence.

Ning Chuan was not there.

And no one dared to respond to the challenge of this Northern Mang military god.

The one hundred thousand Northern Liang troops on the city walls, although still high in fighting spirit, could not help but show a trace of tension and unease on their faces.

Why had their Dragon King not appeared yet?

Seeing this, Tuoba Pusa sneered even more, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain.

"Hmph! What kind of bullshit Purple Heaven Dragon King! What kind of East Sea Flood Dragon Lord!"

"It seems he is just a cowardly turtle who only knows how to bluff!"

"Pass my order! Prepare to attack the city!"

He raised the halberd in his hand high, and that earth-shattering pressure rose to the extreme once again!

As if the next moment, he would give the order for a full-scale attack!

Just at this critical moment, when everyone on the city walls was tense and nervous to the extreme!

Suddenly!

A brilliant sword light, cold as snow yet filled with endless sharpness, descended from the sky like a meteor cutting through the night!

The sword light was elegant and agile, as if containing the coldness of moonlight and the splendor of morning flowers!

With unimaginable speed, it instantly fell into the black Northern Mang army formation below the city!
