Chapter 1289

Seeing someone approach,

the Great Xia sovereign could not help but shout.

However, Ximen Wudi paid no heed, and instead walked toward the other party step by step.

A flash of contempt crossed his eyes.

"Bang!"

With a kick sent out, the Great Xia sovereign was sent flying.

In an instant, his entire body dissolved into a puff of blood mist, dying on the spot.

And the guards atop the city wall were utterly stunned.

They had not even had time to react before their own sovereign was slain by the other party.

For a moment, they could not help but tremble all over.

"Are you willing to surrender? If you capitulate, you may be spared death. Otherwise, this city shall cease to exist today!"

Ximen Wudi's icy voice rang out.

Causing the Great Xia soldiers atop the city wall to all involuntarily shudder.

But immediately after, a general gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

He was a general of Great Xia; though unwilling, he knew that at this point there was only one option—to fight.

Only, before he could take any action,

"Roar!"

a Great Zhou soldier shot straight out.

In an instant, that general did not even have the chance to resist

before he was beheaded and his head displayed.

Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but draw in a cold breath, secretly rejoicing in their hearts that they had chosen to surrender.

And at this moment, Ximen Wudi continued to speak.

"Now, I ask, and you must answer honestly.

Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

Upon hearing Ximen Wudi's voice,

all the soldiers atop the city wall prostrated themselves on the ground.

"Yes, Your Majesty. This general will surely tell all he knows!"

After the words fell, he began to recall and said,

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since the founding of our Great Xia, we have always focused on offense.

The army in this city is almost entirely composed of powerful cultivators gathered from all sides.

Normally, they are deployed as the Vanguard Commander forces.

As for our Great Xia's true experts, they are all stationed deep within the city.

Unless danger arises, they will not easily reveal themselves!"

"Oh, is there more? Tell Us their detailed information!"

Upon hearing the other's words, Ximen Wudi said lightly.

Yet a glint of sharpness flashed in his eyes.

Since these Great Xia people wished to seize his body, they must pay the price.

And that general—how would he dare hesitate in the slightest?

He directly spoke up.

"Yes, Your Majesty!

Our city has a total of thirty-six million troops, among which there are eighty-five experts at the Immortal Sovereign level and above.

There are also as many as forty experts at the Seventh Level of Sage!"

Just as his words fell, Ximen Wudi could not help but narrow his pupils.

He had not expected the foundation of the Great Xia people to be so powerful; even the various races of the Primordial were probably no more than this.

Moreover, what was even more intriguing were those ordinary troops.

Because Ximen Wudi sensed

that the magical power within these Great Xia people, though not exactly abundant, was unusually vast and surging—clearly not an ordinary type of soldier.

Moreover, their cultivation was also very high.

"Your Majesty, these Great Xia soldiers all cultivate the Mysterious Art.

Their magical power is incomparably dense.

Not only are their physical bodies powerful, even their combat techniques can be called unrivaled throughout the heavens!"

Upon hearing Ximen Wudi's inquiry, the defending soldier spoke up once more.

Only, what astonished Ximen Wudi was that everything the defending general said was utterly incomparable to what he had imagined.

According to the other's account, it seemed as if Great Xia was a fortress.

And the Savage Beast Legion Ximen Wudi led was like a pack of wolves.

While the Great Xia army was the fierce tiger—this was a mistaken perception, yet it happened to exist.

"No wonder they dare act so wantonly; it turns out they have such trump cards!"

After hearing the defending army's explanation, even Ximen Wudi, who had seen his share of storms,

could not help but reveal a solemn expression on his face at this moment.

Such an army, if placed in the Primordial, even a first-rate power would be unable to withstand it.

However, he was not the least bit afraid.

As long as no Jin Xian appeared.

Relying on his own divine talisman, even against a ninth-tier Saint, he would not flinch in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, the king of Great Xia has already been slain by you. Please retreat at once!"

Looking at Ximen Wudi, the city Garrison Commander spoke respectfully.

"Where is your National Preceptor?"

Ximen Wudi asked. His target was the National Preceptor; the generals in this city were nothing more than a casual afterthought.

"The National Preceptor... the National Preceptor broke through to the peak of Jin Xian several months ago, and so has already departed!"

After Ximen Wudi's voice fell, the city Garrison Commander spoke respectfully.

A trace of worship showed in his eyes.

"Haha, truly a fine move. It seems that behind your Great Xia, there must surely be a powerhouse at the Saint realm backing you up.

Moreover, more than one — otherwise, how could so many great armies be raised? But even if Great Xia has its hidden cards, so what?

Today, I shall destroy your Great Xia!"

After Ximen Wudi's voice fell, he no longer hesitated.

He drove the dragon carriage straight forward.

And the speed of those Great Han soldiers was incomparably swift.

They left endless clouds of dust atop the city wall.

But at this moment, Ximen Wudi paid no heed to any of this.

His figure leapt up, appearing at the very top of Tiangong.

From his eyes burst forth a radiant, dazzling light.

"System, give me a summon — I want to break through!"

Having just arrived on the continent, Ximen Wudi prepared to summon at once.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host — you have obtained two Ancestor Hongmeng Purple Spirit Pills. Please check and receive them!"

The moment Ximen Wudi's command was issued—

The system's voice rang out in his mind.

Immediately after, a beam of light materialized before him.

This person's frame was incomparably tall.
