Chapter 218

"Exterminate all these Sea Clan members! Remember, do not fight recklessly; find their weaknesses and kill them with a single blow!"

Li Chen is not a person who likes to talk nonsense; after saying this, he waved his large hand.

Sun Cheng and Han Wu received the order and immediately led the army to charge toward the Sea Clan.

Two hundred thousand cavalry were like a torrent of steel, the sound of horse hooves shaking the heavens and the earth, rolling up dust that filled the sky.

Although the Sea Clan warriors were powerful, after staying on land for a long time, their combat effectiveness had clearly dropped.

Although their scales were sturdy, under the impact of the May Tian Ce Dynasty's elite cavalry, they were still easily sliced open.

On the battlefield, the sound of weapons clashing was endless, and the fresh blood of the Sea Clan warriors kept gushing out.

Those small Sea Clan warriors were directly trampled into meat paste by the cavalry.

Those huge Sea Clan members, four or five meters tall, had their flesh constantly sliced open by long weapons, and finally, their necks were slashed open by a powerful soldier, their heads flying into the sky, and their huge bodies crashing to the ground.

Facing this joint attack by the May Tian Ce Dynasty and the Tianwu Dynasty, the Sea Clan warriors also had their eyes turned red with killing intent, resisting to the death.

Various poisons sprayed out from their bodies, but this time the human legion had come prepared, carrying medicine to alleviate the toxins.

Many fierce soldiers, after being poisoned, took the antidote and continued to fight!

And the Sea Clan, this time they were facing the regular army of the May Tian Ce Dynasty!

Under the pressure of the May Tian Ce Dynasty's great army, the Sea Clan retreated steadily.

The four or five-meter-tall Sea Clan warriors fell one after another; the battlefield was littered with corpses, and blood flowed like a river.

However, just as the battle situation was gradually tilting toward the human race, the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and a fierce wind suddenly rose.

Immediately afterward, a huge figure descended from the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the entire battlefield shook.

A Sea Clan expert appeared—a powerful Sage Realm expert of the White Shark Clan!

His stature was tall, his skin was deep blue, his back was covered with sharp fins, and he held a huge bone blade in his hand.

A terrifying bloody aura emanated from the White Shark Clan expert's bloody maw, and his eyes were as cold and ruthless as an abyss.

With his appearance, a torrential rain suddenly began to fall from the sky.

As the rainwater fell on the Sea Clan warriors, their combat effectiveness quickly recovered, their scales became even harder, and their movements became even more agile.

Meanwhile, the human soldiers' combat effectiveness greatly decreased in the rain; the rain not only blocked their vision but also made their armor and weapons heavier, and the battle situation instantly reversed.

Seeing this, Sun Cheng's face changed drastically, because he had seen this White Shark Clan expert before; it was the very one who had heavily wounded the old Emperor of the Tianwu Dynasty.

He still remembered that back then, Sun Cheng had led tens of thousands of soldiers, fighting to the death to repel the White Shark Clan expert and protect the heavily wounded old Emperor as they left.

Seeing Li Chen in the distance, Sun Cheng felt that Li Chen was an Emperor who understood how to conduct warfare.

No Emperor would charge at the very front; if an Emperor charged at the front and was heavily wounded by the enemy, the entire legion's morale would be greatly damaged.

That was also the main reason why the elite army of the Tianwu Dynasty had suffered heavy losses last time.

Sun Cheng was just preparing to discuss retreating with Han Wu.

Just at this moment, a golden divine light descended from the sky, like a bolt from the blue, striking directly at the position of the White Shark Clan expert.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the earth caved in, gullies crisscrossed, and the void shook!

The White Shark Clan expert was blasted away by this terrifying power for dozens of meters, crashing heavily to the ground.

He looked at Li Chen with a face full of terror, his eyes filled with an expression of disbelief.

In the view of the White Shark Clan expert, if he hadn't dodged in time just now, he would probably have died!

The White Shark Clan expert was horrified in his heart; he hadn't expected to encounter a human expert so quickly? Did the Tianwu Dynasty have such a strong person?

In the distance, Li Chen slowly withdrew his palm and nodded slightly; he hadn't expected this Sea Clan member to be able to dodge a move—he had some ability.

The battle situation reversed again, and Sun Cheng didn't know whether to continue killing or retreat.

However, there was one thing Sun Cheng was clear about: the Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty had strength that exceeded the scope of his understanding.

"Is this the Sage Realm? Truly terrifying."

In Sun Cheng's view, Li Chen was simply perfect; even with such strength, he still chose to observe from the middle army, meeting all changes with constancy.

If it were any other Emperor with this kind of strength, they would certainly have already charged to the very front, right?

This Emperor simply possessed a steadiness and wisdom that exceeded other Emperors; the Emperor of a great nation truly was different from other Emperors.

Sun Cheng didn't want to belittle the late Emperor, but in his view, Li Chen's performance was overly excellent, and Li Chen's image in the mind of this foreign general was also infinitely magnified.

In fact, Sun Cheng was overthinking it; the reason Li Chen didn't charge to the front was because he was lazy and felt it wasn't necessary.

Not every small character is worthy of me making a move.

A Sage Realm expert came out on the other side, and since you all couldn't beat him, I only made a move reluctantly.

Immediately afterward, Li Chen pointed his right hand slightly toward the sky, and a golden energy burst out from his fingertip, shooting straight into the sky.

A huge roar appeared in the sky, followed by the explosion of an energy bomb in the shape of a starfish.

That energy bomb rapidly expanded in the air, emitting a dazzling light, as if a small sun were hanging in the sky.

Powerful energy fluctuations spread outward with the bomb as the center; a fierce wind whistled, rolling up dust and gravel on the ground, and even the distant sea waves were lifted into giant waves several zhang high by this power.

The Sea Clan warriors felt this terrifying energy fluctuation and looked up at the sky one after another, their eyes filled with fear.

Some timid Sea Clan warriors had already begun to flee, covering their heads, and even dropped the weapons in their hands, running desperately toward the sea.

Even those Sea Shark Clan warriors who were usually incomparably fierce now showed expressions of panic.

They had never seen such powerful strength, as if the heavens and the earth were about to collapse under this power.

The human army was also stunned by this scene.

Sun Cheng and Han Wu stood before the formation, looking up at the dazzling golden energy in the sky, their hearts incomparably shocked.

Sun Cheng muttered to himself: "Is this the might of a Sage Realm Emperor? It's simply like a god descending to earth!"

Han Wu was also full of awe, secretly rejoicing in his heart that he could follow such a powerful Emperor.

With the explosion of the golden energy, the originally dim sky was completely illuminated, the dark clouds were instantly blown away, revealing a clear blue sky.

Although Li Chen did not have the ability to summon thunder and rain, nor had he learned this type of magic, he possessed unparalleled strength sufficient to destroy everything.

This is what is called "breaking ten thousand laws with one force"!

The White Shark Clan expert felt this terrifying power, and a desire to retreat immediately sprouted in his heart.

He knew that he might not be Li Chen's opponent, especially after the rain clouds in the sky were blown away; his combat effectiveness had already been greatly discounted.

If he continued to fight, and if he were entangled by the Harmonic Meridian Formation of Li Chen and the human soldiers, the situation would likely be dire.

He gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Retreat! Everyone, retreat back into the sea!"

However, he still overestimated his own strength.

Just at the moment he shouted this sentence, the corners of Li Chen's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a cold sneer: "The continent—is it a place you can come and go as you please? Stay!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Chen extended his right hand, palm facing down, and pressed down lightly.

In an instant, the golden light on his body became brilliant, and the might of a top-tier Sage Realm expert completely erupted.

Above the nine heavens, the void shook, as if something had descended from the void.

Immediately afterward, a huge golden Five-Finger Mountain crashed down from the horizon, carrying energy that destroyed everything, striking directly at the position of the White Shark Clan expert.

Seeing this, the White Shark Clan expert was shocked.

He knew that if he were hit by this golden Five-Finger Mountain, he would have almost no possibility of survival.

Therefore, he erupted with all his strength, and his body instantly expanded from a great white shark form over two meters tall to over ten meters tall, becoming a behemoth.

His muscle lines were clearly visible, erupting with unparalleled strength, attempting to break free from the suppression of this golden Five-Finger Mountain.

However, despite trying his best, he only ran ten steps!

Boom!

The golden Five-Finger Mountain crashed down, the earth shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The powerful impact force instantly blew away the nearby Sea Clan warriors, who fell to the ground vomiting blood and unable to rise.

Even the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army had quite a few people blown away by this impact force; only the great army that maintained the Harmonic Meridian Formation barely resisted this terrifying impact.

The White Shark Clan expert was pressed beneath the golden Five-Finger Mountain, his life or death unknown.

The ground where he was located had already collapsed into a huge deep pit, and the surrounding land was cracked, as if it had been shattered by the giant palm of a god.

Seeing this, Sun Cheng and Han Wu immediately seized this opportunity and ordered the blowing of the attack horn.

The joint army of the May Tian Ce Dynasty and the Tianwu Dynasty launched a charge again, like tigers descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

The Sea Clan warriors had already completely lost their fighting spirit, throwing away their armor and fleeing desperately toward the sea.

"Kill, avenge our fallen brothers!"

The human soldiers roared, waving the weapons in their hands, slaughtering the Sea Clan warriors who couldn't escape one by one.

On the battlefield, the corpses of the Sea Clan were piled up like mountains, and fresh blood dyed the earth red.

Li Chen didn't need to do anything; his display of this move was already an encouragement to all the soldiers!

The slaughter on the coastline lasted for a period of time; there were still Sea Clan members putting up a desperate struggle, preparing to rescue the White Shark Clan expert, but all this was in vain. Under the charge of the army, these Sea Clan members were killed one after another.

In the end, the remnants of the Sea Clan fled back into the sea, and only the cheers of the human race remained on the battlefield.

The soldiers held their weapons high and shouted in unison:

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live the May Tian Ce Dynasty!"

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live the May Tian Ce Dynasty!" "Long live Your Majesty! Long live the May Tian Ce Dynasty!"

Sun Cheng looked at Li Chen not far away, his expression full of worship.

And Han Wu was right beside Li Chen; his expression was very proud, honored that the May Tian Ce Dynasty could have such an Emperor!

The next stage was cleaning up the battlefield; the armor and scales on these Sea Clan members were all treasures.

Capturing those living Sea Snake Clan members could also be done to take them back for research.

Sun Cheng walked quickly to Li Chen, bowed respectfully, and then couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, that Sea Clan expert... is he already dead?"

Li Chen smiled faintly and said casually: "He's not dead, just heavily wounded by me. I even held back just now; the goal is naturally to extract some intelligence from his mouth."

Hearing this, Sun Cheng felt a monstrous wave surge in his heart, his inner monologue going wild: Ah? Facing such a strong Sage Realm expert, you were actually able to hold back?!

Holy crap, the true strength of His Majesty Li Chen probably hasn't been fully revealed yet!

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his awe for Li Chen deepening by another layer, and his already humble attitude became even more humble.

Li Chen didn't say much, just raised his right hand and grabbed at the void.

Instantly, that golden Five-Finger Mountain pressing on the White Shark Clan expert dissipated, turning into specks of golden light and disappearing into the air.

!

Seeing this, Sun Cheng immediately led people to rush forward, tying up the heavily wounded and unconscious White Shark Clan expert and placing several restrictions on his body to ensure he could no longer exert any power.

The nearby Tianwu Dynasty soldiers felt relieved when they saw this scene.

They clenched their fists, their eyes flashing with the pleasure of revenge.

One must know that this White Shark Clan expert was the very culprit who killed their late Emperor!

Now, this once-arrogant Sea Clan expert was being dragged on the ground like a dead fish, with no power to resist.

The follow-up work certainly didn't need Li Chen to continue arranging; he then waved his hand and ordered: "Return to the Imperial Capital."

The great army set off in a grand manner, carrying the joy of victory and the captured White Shark Clan expert, heading toward the Imperial Capital of the Tianwu Dynasty.

Along the way, Sun Cheng and Han Wu rode their horses behind Li Chen; having gone through this battle, they could be considered acquainted and began to communicate.

Sun Cheng couldn't help but whisper to Han Wu: "General Han, today's battle truly opened my eyes. His Majesty Li Chen's strength is simply unfathomable. I wonder if you could reveal His Majesty Li Chen's true strength."

Han Wu was slightly stunned; you just met Li Chen.

What a coincidence, I actually did too; what the hell would I know?

However, if I said I didn't know, wouldn't that be a bit embarrassing?

So Han Wu pretended to be mysterious and said: "Heavenly might is hard to fathom. It is said that those experts who have seen His Majesty's true strength have not lived!"

This sentence also brought no small shock to Sun Cheng; sure enough, His Majesty Li Chen was unfathomable.

How could he know that this was just Han Wu talking nonsense.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Tianwu Dynasty were also discussing privately, and some even sighed in a low voice: "If our Emperor could also have the strength and courage of His Majesty Li Chen, how would the Sea Clan dare to be so arrogant?"

In fact, it could be seen that many soldiers still hadn't completely submitted to Pei Pei Wanyu; they were just following their own mission.

But they were sincerely convinced by Li Chen, this Emperor. Li Chen's prestige was vigorous, his temperament was transcendent, as if he were sitting in the army, this army would be fierce, and their hearts would feel as if they had a pillar!

In the view of the soldiers, as long as Li Chen was there, there was nothing that couldn't be solved!

A few days later, the great army arrived at the Imperial Capital.

Empress Pei Pei Wanyu had already led the court officials to welcome them outside the city gate.

When she saw the captured White Shark Clan expert, a flash of complex emotion crossed her eyes.

She walked slowly to Li Chen and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for removing this great scourge for my Tianwu Dynasty."

This was a public occasion, so the necessary etiquette still had to be observed.

Li Chen smiled slightly, his tone indifferent: "A mere trifle, no need for such courtesy."

Capturing a Sage Realm expert and calling it a "mere trifle"? This arrogance made the nearby court officials horrified.

However, the soldiers who had fought alongside Li Chen all knew that it really was a mere trifle for him; he wasn't joking.

The most terrifying thing was that Li Chen was just telling the truth, which was already unimaginable to people.

Next, Li Chen intended to personally interrogate this White Shark Clan expert to see if he could get more intelligence about the Sea Clan from his mouth.

The accompanying people naturally included the two commanders, Han Wu and Sun Cheng.

In the Imperial Palace, the late Emperor's great revenge had been avenged, and the heavy stone in Pei Pei Wanyu's heart could be considered to have fallen.

With Li Chen's help, the interior of the Tianwu Dynasty could be considered to have slowly stabilized.

But Pei Pei Wanyu couldn't seem to be happy, not knowing why.

Seeming to see her daughter's unhappiness, her mother Tang Tang Mengyou asked: "What's wrong, daughter? Is there anything unhappy?"

Seeing that her mother had arrived, Pei Pei Wanyu sighed and said: "His Majesty Li Chen will probably leave tomorrow; I don't know how long it will be until we meet again."

She was now the Empress of the Tianwu Dynasty and had a pile of state affairs to handle, so she couldn't be like other women who could often stay by Li Chen's side.

But she happened to be at the age of falling in love and had a certain dependence on Li Chen.

In front of Li Chen, she had to show a demeanor of distinguishing right from wrong; only then would she be like a monarch of a country.

After all, the May Tian Ce Dynasty where Li Chen was located had just stabilized in the north, and cultural differences would certainly have many troublesome things to handle; furthermore, they were still at war with the Sassanid Dynasty, and Li Chen still had to go and command.

Thinking that Li Chen was about to leave, she felt somewhat reluctant.

Tang Tang Mengyou smiled slightly and said: "Do you want His Majesty Li Chen to stay and accompany you for a while longer?"

Pei Pei Wanyu nodded and said: "Yes, but..."

Before she finished speaking, her mother Tang Tang Mengyou interrupted: "I have a way..."

Tang Tang Mengyou analyzed for her daughter that for an Emperor like Li Chen, his power and strength had already reached the peak, and the only thing he lacked was women.

So the way to keep Li Chen was through beauty.

Tang Tang Mengyou hinted: "Daughter, you are very beautiful, but as a newlywed woman, your techniques are not enough."

After hearing this, Pei Pei Wanyu had a feeling of half-understanding; it was indeed as her mother said—when going to bed, it was always Li Chen who was more proactive, and she really didn't have any techniques.

But techniques were not something that could be learned in a day or two.

Moreover, Pei Pei Wanyu was very busy during the day, with various things needing to be handled.

Seeing that her daughter still didn't get it, Tang Tang Mengyou said in an even lower voice: "You don't have techniques, but your mother does. There are so many consorts in the Imperial Palace; which one of them isn't skilled?"

"We will proactively serve His Majesty Li Chen during the day, and he will certainly be willing to stay."

"And since you are busy during the day, you can serve His Majesty Li Chen at night after you finish your work; this way, won't you be able to make him stay for a few more days?"

This kind of thing was actually very normal; Li Chen was the monarch of a superior nation and had special treatment.

The Prince of Prince Zhennan of the May Tian Ce Dynasty was like this; he was just a vassal prince holding heavy troops, yet he could casually favor the Empresses of the southern nations.

Let alone Li Chen, whose status was even more noble; the fact that he had engaged in exchange activities with Tang Tang Mengyou in Mu Mu Qingrou's room some time ago was already considered taking care of Pei Pei Wanyu's emotions.

Of course, that was also very stimulating.

Hearing her mother say this, Pei Pei Wanyu held her mother's hand and said: "Mother, wouldn't this be a grievance to you?"

Tang Tang Mengyou smiled and said: "For my daughter, this is all something your mother is willing to do."

In her heart, she was actually thinking: "What grievance is this? Only in these past few days have I, your mother, experienced true happiness."

If it weren't for the restraint of being the Empress Dowager, she would probably have said it directly.

Tang Tang Mengyou was happier than anyone that Li Chen could stay for a few more days.

Since there was already a way, Pei Pei Wanyu went to arrange it, determined to give Li Chen a supreme experience.

When Li Chen returned from the prison where the White Shark Clan expert was held, he was just preparing to bid farewell to Pei Pei Wanyu.

However, Pei Pei Wanyu was still handling state affairs, and Li Chen didn't want to disturb her, so he decided to wait a while and leave after eating dinner.

But just at this moment, the Empress Dowager Tang Tang Mengyou appeared with dozens of consorts from the harem.

These were all carefully selected by Tang Tang Mengyou, each with exquisite and beautiful features, graceful figures, and varied appearances; just seeing them gave one a feeling of beauty that was overwhelming.

Especially those full and charming figures, which made one's appetite greatly increase.

Tang Tang Mengyou began to introduce them, saying these were all consorts from various regions of the Tianwu Dynasty, each with her own characteristics.

Li Chen nodded and indicated: "I understand the logic, but what does this mean?"

Tang Tang Mengyou leaned beside Li Chen and said softly: "Your Majesty, Pei Wanyu was afraid that you wouldn't be happy staying here, so she specifically asked us to come and serve you."

This made Li Chen feel that Pei Pei Wanyu was truly sensible.

In any case, this was Pei Pei Wanyu's good intention, and it was hard to refuse such hospitality.

I will reluctantly accept it!

In the next seven days, the consorts by Li Chen's side were changed batch after batch.

His status here was simply higher than that of all the Emperors who had reigned here in the past.

Even Mu Mu Qingrou, the Master of the Ziyun Immortal Mansion, felt that Li Chen had forgotten something?

However, Mu Mu Qingrou was very sensible and didn't say anything; as long as Li Chen was happy, that was all that mattered.

After playing for two rounds, Li Chen left with satisfaction, and Tang Tang Mengyou indicated that she would study techniques even harder, hoping that Li Chen would have a better experience next time he came.

That soul-stirring figure and attentive appearance made Li Chen almost not want to leave.

Shi Shi Yingying saw this in her eyes and thought to herself: "So this is the way to keep Li Chen; if it's about comparing women, our Ziyun Immortal Mansion has plenty!"
