Chapter 966

"Damn, I knew those Guile Hall bastards weren't holding back anything good—sure enough they're planning to wipe out Weiyang Heaven in one fell swoop?"

Sun Qinghou's expression turned panicked.

He guessed that the Guile Hall and Gu Origin Heaven had other schemes; it was not merely letting Luo Jin Laozi's few projections kill the Spirit Martial Emperor, but he didn't expect this to be just a feint—the true purpose was for the three armies to mobilize together and invade Weiyang Heaven.

"I'm afraid even the lord of my Qingming Heaven, Huang Zhen, hasn't received this news yet? This is too sudden."

Sun Qinghou muttered, "Looks like Luo Jin Laozi also anticipated this; my Qingming Heaven will only send these troops. Damn, these old monsters have calculated every step."

But he still hasn't taken action.

He wants to escape, but he still needs the situation to become even more chaotic.

Meanwhile, at the garrison, Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen, among others, all furrowed their brows deeply.

They never expected to encounter such a grand scene as soon as they arrived in the upper realm.

The Guile Hall's three armies are mobilizing together to invade Weiyang Heaven!

Yang Ling'er's beautiful eyes reflected the void battlefield as she slowly said, "Those three directions should have garrisons, but I don't know how long they can hold. Our main forces have been tied up."

Yang Xuan asked, "Should we call the master up?"

Yang Ling'er hesitated, then said, "Not yet. My Weiyang Heaven has stood firm in the upper realm for endless ages; this kind of storm isn't the first we've seen. Take a look at General Qi Chunjiang's deployment—he's managed this region of heaven for so long, he must have some plan."

Everyone looked toward the void above.

Qi Chunjiang gripped his long blade, his heavy armor clanking; he was like a long blade thrust into the heavens and earth, actually fiercer than several Guile Hall supremes.

Zhang Liao and the others were getting anxious, directing their questions at Qi Chunjiang.

Qi Chunjiang calmly said, "I've already made arrangements."

He has been opposing the Guile Hall for more than a day or two; the Guile Hall is inherently deceitful, so he naturally knows.

A moment of silence.

Qi Chunjiang slashed three blade energies toward the three directions deep in the void.

"Sizzle!"

The blade energies crisscrossed, stretching across the endless starry sky, transforming into three vast white rivers that shot toward the directions of the Yuan Cang Divine Sect and the Langya clan.

Using the blade energies as a command, he ordered these hegemonic powers to support the south, east, and west!

In fact, earlier he had learned that the Empress had returned and already issued orders for all border regions to strengthen their defenses.

I never expected the Guile Hall to actually seize the opportunity to invade!

Soon, Yuan Cang Laozi and Langya Yuan, among others, received the order; instead of rushing to this battlefield, they split up to go guard the borders.

"Boom!"

Yuan Cang Laozi directly produced the Yuan Cang List, a huge scroll that slowly unfurled; the ancient characters on it shone brightly, instantly arousing a heaven-shaking momentum.

"Void!"

Yuan Cang Laozi pointed a finger at that great character, and instantly immense spatial power surged.

This ancient character was bestowed by the peak Spirit Martial Emperor of that era, containing tremendous spatial Dao resonance; each activation consumes a large amount of Dao essence.

Today the situation is urgent; Yuan Cang Laozi directly burned the foundation of the Yuan Cang Divine Sect to tear open the void, leading the Yuan Cang Divine Sect and other forces toward the border.

Soon, the character "Void" continually shifted in the void, eventually deriving a Space Channel.

On the other side, Langya clan's Laozi Langya Yuan directly produced the Langya Furnace.

"Boom—!"

Blazing fiercely above the firmament, this extraordinarily strange flame directly incinerated the heavens, forcibly carving out a super spatial channel.

In Langya Yuan's hand, the spiritual seal shifted, revealing exceedingly complex and obscure Dao patterns surging.

After doing this, Langya Yuan's aura became extremely feeble.

"Follow me into battle!"

His aged, hoarse voice rang out between heaven and earth, and soon a multitude of strong warriors stepped into the Space Channel.

In the other directions, various supreme Laozi took action, sparing no cost to march toward the battlefield.

Luo Jin Laozi and the others looked at the calm-faced Qi Chunjiang and sneered, "Can you make it in time?"

Qi Chunjiang said nothing, directly gripping his long blade and charging over.

With each step he took, his aura grew ever more icy; he directly manifested his dharma form, and with a boom, an immensely huge heavy-armored man appeared in the void, his hands holding not a blade but a river of blade intent.

Blade light burst across the sky in an instant, like crashing waves against the shore, spraying forth layers of snow.

Seeing this, Luo Jin Laozi and the others gave a cold chuckle, and a sinister intent suddenly flared on their faces.

"Blast!"

In an instant, black eerie power transformed into a storm, sweeping directly toward this realm.

The projections of five supreme beings almost simultaneously chose to self-destruct!

The heavens trembled!

Space tore apart!

Guile Dao power surged forth, its violence incomparable.

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected that Luo Jin Laozi and his companions would actually choose to self-destruct.

Qi Chunjiang could naturally withstand this method, but the pressure from the self‑explosion poured down upon every corner of heaven and earth—this is the real difficulty, for once contaminated by the Guile Dao resonance of such supreme beings, the outcome would likely be dire.

Suddenly, the oppression of the Guile Dao proved too great.

Some of the Weiyang Heaven soldiers nearby bore the brunt—some had their bodies blasted into fragments, others spewed black blood, their bodies already invaded by the eerie power.

"Retreat!"

Zhang Liao roared, continually slashing with his spear to emit fierce spear light, hoping to obliterate this bone‑chilling aura.

Large numbers of the Weiyang Heaven army began to flee in disarray.

The scene instantly became a tangled mess.

Behind Luo Jin Laozi's self-detonation, Bai Loulan let out a cold laugh and unleashed an Eight-Revolution Stabilizing Wanderer Poison.

「Boom—」

Vast golden light burst forth between heaven and earth, and a Space Channel directly appeared behind him; Bai Loulan stepped into the Space Channel and vanished in an instant.

At that moment, Qi Chun Jing also saw the heavy casualties caused by the torrential outpouring of the strange power, and he directly plunged his long saber into the void.

A white celestial river poured straight down from the void, enveloping the heavenly domain power behind him.

In the next instant, his dharma form strode toward the center of the self-detonation, its massive figure standing shoulder to shoulder with the storm.

Everyone was stunned!

Qi Chun Jing blocked all the strange storms with his own strength!

All they could see was his back, like a great mountain; behind him was the Everlasting Army, before him the terrifying strange storm!

In that moment, countless soldiers of the Everlasting Army had red-rimmed eyes, deeply moved.

「General Qi! 」

「General Qi! 」

Yang Ling'er's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, as if pained, and she said, 'These years, Qi Chun Jing has worked hard!'

With a thought, Qi Chun Jing's dharma form continued to swell, and his hands shifted through hand seals.

Grow larger!

Even larger!

Still larger!

In the end, Qi Chun Jing's dharma form had already crushed the terrifying strange storm.

In his hand surged a vast blade intent, but now it was no longer killing intent, but protective power!

He pointed his left hand to heaven and his right hand to earth, and directly began to crush all the strange storms!

Between his palms, it transformed into a blade-intent net!
