Chapter 162

The night was as dark as ink, flames shot up on the battlefield, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens.

Long Junzuo's Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect hovered in the air, each flap stirring up a gust of wind, its talons sharp as knives, constantly tearing at the Nine Heavens Army's formation.

The soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army fought desperately to resist, but before this terrifying force, their formation was gradually torn open a gap.

Just then, a brilliant light rose from behind the Nine Heavens Army, shooting straight into the clouds.

It was a jade-colored light, warm and moist yet full of power.

Within the light, a Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect slowly emerged, treading on auspicious clouds, eyes like lightning, its whole body exuding a sacred, inviolable aura.

This is precisely the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect opened by Ye Hua.

Ye Hua stood on the back of the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect, his figure merging with the aspect, as if he were the incarnation of this Jade Qilin.

He held a jade-colored long spear, its tip flowing with a faint light, as if containing boundless power.

His gaze was firm and sharp, locked tightly onto the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect in the sky.

Behind Ye Hua, the Dao Soldiers Jade Qilin Army had already formed their ranks.

They wore jade-colored armor, held jade-colored weapons, and each person emanated a cool, resolute aura.

At this moment, they seemed to merge with Ye Hua's Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect, forming an indestructible whole.

At Ye Hua's command, the Dao Soldiers Jade Qilin Army began to move.

They gathered their power into Ye Hua's Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect according to the previously practiced formation.

Instantly, the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect's momentum surged, as if it would break through the heavens.

Treading on auspicious clouds, it charged straight toward the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect in the sky.

Long Junzuo felt a strong sense of danger.

He turned and saw a Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect rapidly approaching him.

His heart startled, but he immediately calmed down.

He knew this was the military Dharma Aspect of the Nine Heavens Army's Dao Soldiers Jade Qilin Army, but he was not afraid.

An old opponent.

Even the previous Jade Qilin Army with Ye Sui could do nothing to him.

Not to mention the current Jade Qilin Army without Ye Sui.

He took a deep breath, activated the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect's power, and directly went to meet the charging Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect.

Furthermore, he strengthened the attack power of the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect behind him, hoping to crush it before the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect could launch its attack.

However, his plans went awry.

The combination of the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect and the Dao Soldiers Jade Qilin Army formed an irresistible force.

This force was like a surging river, continuous and endless, completely neutralizing the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect's attacks.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Hua's eyes as he activated the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect and launched a fierce attack on the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect.

The Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, fiercely collided with the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect.

Boom!

The two Dharma Aspects violently collided in midair.

The Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect emanated a warm, moist light from its whole body, while the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect burned with blazing qi flames.

Their powers constantly intertwined, collided, and wore down, as if they would tear the entire sky apart.

Before this terrifying force, the surrounding air seemed to solidify.

The soldiers on the battlefield all stopped their actions and looked up at this peak showdown in the sky.

Their eyes filled with awe and shock, as if they were seeing mythical divine beasts battling in the sky.

This showdown lasted a full fifteen minutes.

During this time, the two Dharma Aspects continually collided and fought, as if trying to completely destroy each other.

However, as time passed, the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect's momentum gradually weakened, while the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect grew braver with each battle.

The Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect, wielding the power to destroy heaven and earth, repeatedly struck the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect.

Each impact made the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect tremble incessantly, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Long Junzuo was greatly shocked in his heart, and he exerted all his strength to drive the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect to resist.

But there was nothing he could do; he had previously thought that the Jade Qilin without Ye Sui was nothing to fear.

When attacking the city wall, Pei Xingjian's military formation.

It had already consumed a large amount of qi and stamina.

Now, facing the Jade Qilin Dao Soldiers that are not inferior to before, and even surpassing it.

In the face of this ever-growing power, Long Junzuo's, as the gangqi was consumed.

The ever-weaker resistance appeared so insignificant before the Jade Qilin.

The light of the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect gradually dimmed, while the momentum of the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect grew ever stronger.

Just then, Ye Hua suddenly shouted loudly: 'Break!'

Only see the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect spit out a brilliant gangqi from its mouth, shooting straight toward the chest of the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect.

This beam of light was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing the chest of the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect, shattering it into pieces.

Long Junzuo's body swayed, and he fell out from the Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face full of an expression of disbelief.

As if he were still immersed in the previous battle, unable to extricate himself.

He never imagined that his proud Dragon Sparrow Dharma Aspect would actually be defeated by Ye Hua's Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect.

At this moment, Ye Hua's figure silently appeared on the back of the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect.

His long spear in hand pointed to the heavens, an aura of looking down upon the world emanated from him.

The Dao Soldiers Jade Qilin Army behind him also had their morale greatly boosted, as they loudly cheered the slogan of victory.

And the soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army on the city wall also scrambled up from the ground, re-formed their ranks, and prepared to meet the upcoming battle.

Conversely, the army led by Long Junzuo on the opposing side had morale sunk to the lowest point.

They never imagined that their own side's renowned Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army.

Would actually be defeated by the opposing side's Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect.

And Ye Hua, returning to the city wall, slowly retracted the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect, his face showing no trace of self-satisfaction.

This battle is still far from over.

This time only inflicted heavy casualties on Long Junzuo and part of the Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army.

The hundreds of thousands of troops that Long Junzuo brought still suffered little loss, the advantage remains.
