Chapter 1536

He was the governor of Dongyue City, an old acquaintance of Ji Hao.

Standing beside him were several elders of the Great Xia Empire.

Yet now, they were trembling.

Their eyes, fixed on Ji Hao, brimmed with fear.

For in this brief time, the slaughter Ji Hao had wrought was enough to utterly destroy the entire Great Xia.

"Hmph, I have killed only those who deserved death.

Your Great Xia has committed countless atrocities.

Today, I will make you pay.

Armies, attack the city!"

Ji Hao spoke coldly.

"Kill!"

No sooner had the words fallen than the Zhou soldiers surged forward.

"Boom—!"

Rolling thunder echoed across heaven and earth.

It made everyone's eardrums ache.

Countless weapons descended upon the city walls.

The governor of Dongyue City, witnessing this scene, wore an expression thick with despair.

He had never imagined Ji Hao could be so ferocious.

Yet he was a formidable general—how could he willingly surrender to death?

"Boom!"

As he unleashed his cultivation energy, a golden bell appeared atop the city wall.

"Ding!"

With the resonant chime, everyone snapped back to awareness.

A brilliant pillar of light shot skyward.

"Crack!"

Immediately, dark clouds gathered overhead.

In an instant, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and storms howled.

A bolt of lightning, like a river of pure energy, struck straight down.

And at that very moment,

from within the Zhou army, a deputy general gripped a sharp sword and charged toward the lightning.

"Ssshh!"

As the sound of steel slicing flesh rang out,

his sword pierced straight through the lightning.

Then, he tore the lightning apart with his bare hands.

This sight was so shocking that everyone stared, eyes wide, unable to believe it.

For a moment, they froze in place.

Ji Hao's eyes, however, widened in astonishment.

"This is a divine art!"

He had never expected even an ordinary soldier to possess a divine art.

Yet now, he had no time to ponder it—he shouted again.

"Zhou army, follow me! Crush Dongyue City!"

No sooner had he spoken than he leapt onto the city wall.

"Boom!"

With a deafening crash,

Ji Hao and the Zhou army surged into Dongyue City in an instant.

Their assault was swift beyond measure.

The Great Xia forces could not stop them—they reached the Great Xia Divine Court in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Divine Court, wails filled the air.

A figure appeared, shouting into the void.

"Father, I refuse to accept it! Why is this Zhou imperial son so powerful?

You must kill him!"

His voice dripped with venom.

He was the youngest and most beloved son of the Dongyue Emperor, named Young Master Yan.

Now, he screamed down at the scene below.

He could not believe what he saw—Dongyue City had truly fallen.

"Rebellious son, be silent! Today, I shall slay you myself!"

Hearing his son's voice, the Dongyue Emperor flew into a rage.

He slammed his palm forward—a golden-yellow energy blast shot toward him.

"Father, no!"

Sensing the terrifying fluctuation emanating from the other party, Young Master Yan's face involuntarily went pale.

He wanted to flee, but was directly blasted by that energy, his entire body turning into a cloud of blood mist that dispersed.

And upon seeing his own son's fall.

The Great Emperor Dongyue's eyes finally revealed a look of grief.

He had not expected that his son would actually die at Ji Hao's hands.

How could this not anger him.

The next moment, his figure shot up into the air.

The dragon-patterned treasure fan in his hand swept across.

In an instant, raging flames swept forth.

"Ong!"

The fire phoenix let out a long cry, charging toward Ji Hao.

Causing the other party's pupils to contract, not having expected that the Great Emperor Dongyue's Xiuwei Society would be so powerful.

Having just broken through, the other party had already reached the Half-Step Supreme realm; no wonder he had once forced him to break off the engagement.

However, at this moment, Ji Hao's eyes were instead brimming with brilliant light.

His figure shot forth.

The war spear in his hand, in an instant, left his hand.

Shooting forth toward the raging flames that came pouncing over.

"Chi!"

The war spear collided with the raging flames, emitting a hissing sound.

Then, under the gazes of disbelief from everyone.

Those raging flames actually extinguished in an instant.

Afterwards, Ji Hao's figure once again pounced forth to kill.

"Boom!"

His arm spread open, seizing toward the Great Emperor Dongyue's neck.

"Chi!"

However, just as he was grabbing at the other party.

The other party dodged it.

The next moment, a Fangtian painted halberd appeared in the Great Emperor Dongyue's hand.
