You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Changan.

Outside the Yangxin Hall.

Zhou Chen stood high in the sky, gazing into the distance towards the Two Realms Pass.

All that could be seen was a dark sky in the direction of the Two Realms Pass. Waves of intense energy emanated from the direction of the Two Realms Pass, and the continuous rumbling sounds were deafening, like thunder, and could be heard clearly even from tens of thousands of miles away.

"It seems that the people of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court have already arrived at the Two Realms Pass."

Sensing the commotion coming from the direction of the Two Realms Pass, Zhou Chen muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty need not worry. With Commander Zhou Yu at Liangjie Pass, along with General Pei and General Taishi, plus the Saint-level formation, it won't be difficult to hold off the demons and the Demon Court for a while. At the speed of General Li and Commander Yuwen, they will arrive at Liangjie Pass in no time."

Cao Zhengchun, who was standing behind him, spoke up.

Cao Zhengchun knew what Zhou Chen was worried about.

The demons and the demon court arrived too quickly, which worried Zhou Yu and his men at the Two Realms Pass that they wouldn't be able to stop them before Li Cunxiao and his reinforcements arrived.

But Liangjie Pass wasn't just occupied by Zhou Yu and Pei Yuanqing; Bai Qi and his two supervisors from the Eastern Depot were also there.

Although Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang were both seriously injured, the Great Sage is still the Great Sage. With their strength, they should be able to hold off the demons and the people of the Demon Court for some time.

"I hope so!"

Zhou Chen gazed in the direction of the Two Realms Pass, his slightly furrowed brows showing little sign of easing.

Obviously.

He wasn't entirely at ease about the situation at Liangjie Pass.

"The demons and the demon court have already made their move at the Two Realms Pass. The monsters and demons hiding in the various prefectures should also make their move soon. Your Eastern Depot must have made all the arrangements!"

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this old servant has already made arrangements. Most of the Eastern Depot's manpower has been deployed. As long as someone steps forward, none of them will escape."

"That's good."

"Let's clean up everything that needs to be cleaned up this time! I don't want to see any rats jumping out and causing trouble again."

As Zhou Chen spoke, his gaze drifted towards the direction of the Two Realms Pass.

This time, he not only had to deal with the hidden forces of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court in the Eastern Region, but also eliminate other unstable factors.

Any factors detrimental to the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty are within the scope of this cleanup.

Zhou Chen wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up all the people and forces that were difficult to deal with before.

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what Zhou Chen meant.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this old servant understands."

……

Two-world pass.

The war raged on.

Zhou Yu sat at the center of the formation, manipulating it to withstand the full force of the attacks from the two Lesser Saints and nearly a hundred Half-Saints.

Devastating forces crashed into the light barrier of the formation, causing the entire Two Realms Pass to shake violently.

It seems that Zhou Yu single-handedly withstood so many powerful figures from the Demon Clan and the Demon Court, which is truly remarkable on the battlefield.

But in reality, those who are on the same side know their own situation. If it weren't for the assistance of many soldiers, even with a Saint-level formation, Zhou Yu would have had virtually no chance of withstanding the attacks of two Lesser Saints and nearly a hundred Half-Saints for such a long time.

Even so, with the assistance of many soldiers, Zhou Yu's face turned pale.

Obviously.

Facing attacks from two Lesser Saints of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court, as well as nearly a hundred Half-Saints, he also suffered considerable losses.

However, Zhou Yu knew the truth.

If he can hold out a little longer and keep these demons and demon court people at bay, then once the reinforcements from Chang'an arrive, these demons and demon court people will be no threat.

Meanwhile, in the skies above the Two Realms Pass, the battle between the sages was far more intense than that between Zhou Yu and his forces at the Two Realms Pass.

As the second supervisor of the Eastern Depot, Cao Shaoqin's strength is beyond question, and his swordsmanship is superb.

Although he had previously encountered Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang, who were being hunted by the Demon Clan and the Demon Court, he also suffered some injuries, just like Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang.

However, even now, facing the two Lesser Saints from the Demon Clan and the Demon Court, Cao Shaoqin was still holding his own, fighting them to a standstill.

Similarly, on the other side of the Great Sage's battlefield, Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang joined forces to fight the Great Sage 'Nine-Headed Bird' of the Demon Court to a standstill.

The demon race has a natural advantage and is stronger than the human race.

If they were at their peak, even if Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang joined forces, either of them alone could have dealt with the Great Sage 'Nine-Headed Bird' of the Demon Court.

Unfortunately, even a tiger can be bullied when it falls into the plains.

Previously, Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang had both suffered serious injuries while being pursued by the two Holy Kings of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court.

Even now, with the two of them joining forces, they are only evenly matched with the Great Sage 'Nine-Headed Bird' of the Demon Court, and it will be difficult to determine a winner in a short period of time.

Compared to Bai Qi and Cao Shaoqin, Pei Yuanqing and Taishi Ci were in a much worse situation.

At first, Pei Yuanqing and Taishi Ci were able to hold their own against Mo Yan, a senior Great Sage of the Demon Clan, when they joined forces.

However, as the fight went on, the two went from being evenly matched to being at a disadvantage, and now they are being suppressed by Mo Yan, and their situation is already very precarious.

Although Pei Yuanqing and Taishi Ci are both exceptionally talented individuals with formidable combat abilities, the gap in their cultivation levels is insurmountable.

Compared to Mo Yan, a senior Great Sage of the Demon Clan, even if the two of them joined forces and went all out, they still couldn't withstand him.

"boom!"

After a violent collision.

Pei Yuanqing and Taishi Ci were both sent flying backward, their armor shattering, and bright red blood continuously flowed from their bodies.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Pei Yuanqing and Taishi Ci's faces turned extremely pale.

The hands holding the Phoenix Winged Gilded Halberd and the Mad Song Spear were trembling incessantly.

Obviously.

The two were seriously injured in the battle.

"Two mere minor saints actually managed to hurt me."

"Die to me."

Mo Yan originally thought that with his strength as a senior Great Sage, dealing with Pei Yuanqing and Taishi Ci, the two Lesser Sages, would be a piece of cake.

But to his surprise, Pei Yuanqing and Taishi Ci fought him for over a hundred rounds and even injured him in the end.

This is practically a slap in the face to him, the Great Sage.

Enraged, the laws converged, and Mo Yan reached out, unleashing the power of the six laws combined, and struck towards Pei Yuanqing and Taishi Ci.

If that palm strike were to land, even if Pei Yuanqing and Taishi Ci could withstand it, they would likely lose half their lives. "Insolence! A Great Sage dares to bully two Lesser Sages? Does he think my Great Zhou has no one to rely on?"

at this time.

A silver-gray five-hook divine spear shot out from the distant horizon.

This palm strike was aimed directly at the Demon Rock.

"boom,"

The moment the gun and the palm touched, a storm was stirred up.

When the storm subsided, a tall figure stood before Pei Yuanqing and Taishi Ci, and the silver-gray five-hook divine spear flew back into the figure's hand.

The newcomer was none other than Ma Chao, the "Golden Horse" of Xiliang.

As Ma Chao appeared, Yuwen Chengdu and Zhao Yun stepped from the distant horizon and arrived beside him in the blink of an eye.

Immediately following, figures rushed over, and in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred figures appeared behind Ma Chao and his men.

The aura emanating from these figures was at least that of a half-saint, with five of them even exuding the aura of saints.

Seeing the arrival of Ma Chao, Yuwen Chengdu, and the hundreds of other figures, Mo Yan's face showed a solemn expression.

However, there was no worry at all.

"Another group of people are coming to their deaths. One Great Saint, seven Lesser Saints, and more than a hundred Half-Saints. The Great Zhou really has a lot of resources!"

"I wonder if the emperor of the Great Zhou will feel sorry for all of you dying here."

After glancing at Ma Chao and Yuwen Chengdu, Mo Yan said in a cold voice.

With two Holy Kings behind him, Mo Yan had nothing to worry about.

Let alone one Great Sage, seven Lesser Sages, and over a hundred Half-Sages, even if you add so many Great Sages, Lesser Sages, and Half-Sages, they still can't cause any big waves.

"Hmph, what a boastful statement! You are not worthy to speak to me like that."

The Demon Rock might be very strong to others, but to Ma Chao, it was utterly insignificant.

At the same level, Mo Yan was no match for him at all; his real opponents were the two Holy Kings of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court.

Ma Chao snorted coldly, not taking Mo Yan seriously at all, and instead looked up into the depths of the void; "How long are you two going to hide? Hurry up and come out to die."

As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, two figures emerged from the depths of the void.

"You have quite the nerve. A mere Great Sage dares to make us two Holy Kings come out and face our deaths."

The two figures that emerged were none other than the two Holy Kings of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court, who had been hiding deep within the void.

The two men glanced indifferently at Ma Chao and Yuwen Chengdu, a glint of shrewdness flashing in their eyes.

The Great Zhou must have received news of their pursuit of Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang long ago.

Why is it that only one Great Sage was sent as reinforcements?
A hint of doubt flashed through the minds of both the Demon King and the Demon Court King.

It wasn't that they looked down on the Great Sage, but rather that no matter how strong the Great Sage was, he couldn't possibly stop the two Holy Kings. The emperor of the Great Zhou couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

Could it be that the Great Zhou Dynasty did not receive the news and was unaware of the existence of these two Holy Kings?

impossible.

Judging from Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang's escape to the two realms, the Demon King and the Demon Court King were certain that the Great Zhou knew of their existence.

But the Great Zhou still only sent one Great Sage. What does this mean?
Did the emperor of the Great Zhou think that one Great Sage plus a few Lesser Sages could stop the two Sage Kings, or was this all the strength the Great Zhou possessed?

Or...

Before the Demon King and the Demon Court King could think further, they were interrupted by Ma Chao's loud shout.

"Enough with the nonsense, let me, Ma Chao, meet you alien holy kings and see what you're really made of."

Upon seeing the two Holy Kings of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court emerge, Ma Chao, without a word, swung his Five-Hook Divine Spear, leaped into the air, and charged straight at them.

Seeing this, the Demon King temporarily put aside his thoughts and attacked Ma Chao.

Whether the Great Zhou's foundation is limited to these things or there are other arrangements, it doesn't matter.

Right now, the most important thing is to deal with these people first.

The Demon King did not believe that a mere Great Sage could possibly turn the world upside down.

Rumble!
The collision between Ma Chao and the Demon King created an aftershock several times stronger than the one between Mo Yan and Pei Yuanqing.

Seeing the battle between Ma Chao and the Demon King, Yuwen Chengdu did not hesitate and waved his hand: "Attack! Leave no one alive."

With a command from Yuwen Chengdu.

The hundreds of figures rushed towards the demons and the half-saints and saints of the demon court.

These people were all prisoners in the Heavenly Prison, including the head of the Mu family, who should have been executed.

They knew this was their chance to make a name for themselves.

As long as they kill more demons and people from the Demon Court, they can earn merit. Once they have enough merit, they may be able to escape from their prison and even regain their freedom.

Therefore, after Yuwen Chengdu gave the order, they all charged towards these alien races without any hesitation.

A major melee thus began.

With the arrival of these reinforcements, the situation on the battlefield immediately reversed.

Whether it was the battlefield between the two realms below or the battlefield of the saints in the sky, the people of the demon race and the demon court were at a disadvantage and were besieged by several people.

"The reinforcements have finally arrived."

Seeing that nearly a hundred half-saints and two saints from the demon race and the demon court outside the formation had been stopped by the reinforcements, Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If these reinforcements had arrived any later, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

After all, facing the continuous attacks of nearly a hundred half-saints and two saints, even with the assistance of his soldiers, he still expended a lot of energy.

However, Zhou Yu did not relax in the slightest. He continued to manipulate the formation to resist the aftershocks and shocks caused by the battle outside.

When Mo Yan saw that his men were at a disadvantage and surrounded by several people, he was about to make a move when Yuwen Chengdu and Zhao Yun gave him no chance and joined forces to kill him.

For a while.

The entire area within a radius of several thousand miles around Liangjie Pass was engulfed in the great battle.

High in the sky, the Demon King glanced at the battle raging around him, but did not rush to make a move. Instead, he spread his divine sense in all directions, scanning the surrounding void.

The fact that the Great Zhou only sent one Great Sage is something to be wary of.

He wanted to see if there were other powerful figures hiding in the shadows, just like they had been, lurking deep within the void.

Pei Yuanqing and Taishi Ci did not make another move. It was not that they did not want to, but they had just fought with Mo Yan and had suffered serious injuries. They no longer had much strength left to fight.

For a moment, only Pei Yuanqing, Taishi Ci, and the Demon Clan's Holy King remained in the sky, refraining from making a move. (End of Chapter)
