Chapter 1356

The two sides collided, and scorching energy swept outward.

It caused the clouds in the four directions to churn, and the entire city shook incessantly.

However, those soldiers had already retreated to a distance.

After all, in their eyes, the Great Zhou army was simply too formidable.

Even these ordinary soldiers possessed an overwhelming advantage when they fought.

Liu Zheng's punch landed squarely on the head of the Black Wind Stronghold Master.

In an instant, the opponent died on the spot.

With this, the entire upper echelon of the Black Wind Stronghold had fallen here.

Looking at the corpses piled up like mountains all around,

everyone was terrified to the point of despair.

Such methods were rarely seen even within the royal families of various nations.

Zhao Xing and the others were filled with expressions of admiration.

At this moment, they worshipped Liu Zheng even more.

"Zhao Xing, I appoint you as the Viceroy of the Northwest, responsible for guarding the Northwest.

As for these soldiers, they shall temporarily be under your command!"

Liu Zheng said slowly.

Upon hearing the order, Zhao Xing did not dare to be negligent.

He spoke respectfully:

"Many thanks for Your Majesty's grace!"

Following that, he led the soldiers away.

The remaining commoners, however, were cheering and leaping with joy.

Especially the women and children, whose smiles were as bright as flowers.

And just after Zhao Xing left,

Ji Hao prepared to return to his residence.

Yet, before he could turn around,

a series of battle cries erupted from the distance.

It caused everyone's pupils to shrink involuntarily.

Because, at the city gate at this moment, two rows of armored warriors were already standing.

A murderous aura permeated their bodies.

The leader was clad in dark yellow battle armor.

The cloak behind him fluttered violently.

Beside him, an old man followed.

The two stood there

like statues, a powerful aura blooming from their bodies.

It caused everyone around to be taken aback.

And just at this moment, the Deputy Stronghold Master of Black Wind Mountain could not help but roar:

"Who are you people, and why do you intrude upon my Black Wind Stronghold!"

The voice was laced with a hint of anger.

Clearly, he recognized these two.

Upon hearing the voice, the yellow-clad old man said coldly:

"I am the Heavenly Star Lord. If you are willing to surrender, I can spare your lives.

Otherwise, there will be no mercy!"

The old man's voice was filled with peerless dominance.

Hearing this, the Black Wind Stronghold Master laughed disdainfully.

"Hmph, you think you're worthy of our surrender? Attack, take them down!"

The voice was filled with thick murderous intent.

It left everyone around stunned.

However, before they could react,

the Black Wind Stronghold Master had already charged forward.

He met the Yellow-Robed Star Lord with a palm strike.

His cultivation had already reached the eighth level of the God Venerable Realm.

Moreover, he was an expert in earth-attribute techniques.

Although his attacks were somewhat crude,

they were strong in defense.

Thus, he fought the Yellow-Robed Star Lord to a draw.

At the same time, his subordinates behind him also shot toward the surroundings.

They held hidden weapons in their hands.

Yet, they were completely unable to do anything to the Great Zhou generals.

Zhao Xing slashed out with his blade.

Behind him, a giant tiger roared.

As the blade light flashed, it knocked all the hidden weapons away.

This caused the astonishment in the Black Wind Stronghold Master's eyes to deepen.

He could not help but shout:

"Who are you!"

But just as his voice fell,

Zhao Xing ignored him and took a step forward.

His body transformed into a giant.

He smashed a fist fiercely toward the Black Wind Stronghold Master.

The vast force made the very air tremble.

This scene caused the Black Wind Stronghold Master's pupils to shrink.

At this moment, he actually felt a sense of suffocation.

The two sides collided once more.

In an instant, blood flowed from the opponent's mouth.

His entire figure stiffened involuntarily.

And just at this moment,

the Yellow-Robed Star Lord slashed out with his sword.

It pierced through his chest in an instant.

A trace of regret appeared in the Black Wind Stronghold Master's eyes.

He had never imagined

that he would die in Black Wind Stronghold, and that these Great Zhou troops would be so formidable.

And just at this moment, Liu Zheng said coldly:

"Zhao Xing, lead the army to count the captives. If any refuse to submit, show no mercy!"

The voice was chilling, as if ice shards were shattering.

It caused everyone around to shiver involuntarily. ===== CHAPTER 1358 =====
