Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 186 Fierce Battle in Great Xia, Daozi Flees
When Lu Ming stepped forward, many people in the room wore mocking expressions.

They believed the other party was doomed.

However, he calmly said at this moment, "Tianxuan Daozi, with your strength, I can send a general who is enough to suppress you."

"The last general invites you to fight!"

One of Lu Ming's generals roared out.

It was Lu Shi, dressed in heavy armor and carrying two battle axes.

A terrifying black energy was emanating from his body.

His entire body was covered in blood, like a demon emerging from hell.

Their fighting spirit was so strong that it seemed capable of shattering everything.

Lu Ming didn't refuse, and said calmly, "Okay!"

"Buzz!" As soon as the sound fell, a Xuanwu Dharma Image appeared beneath Lu Shi's feet, ferocious and domineering.

The dark tortoise shell was covered with various mysterious runes, and two rows of sharp spikes stood upright on it, gleaming with a metallic luster.

There are also barbs protruding from the joints of the limbs.

When the giant mouth opens and roars.

The surrounding air became wavy.

His appearance caused many people to frown. This Dharma image looked extraordinary and was very similar to the legendary Xuanwu, but they also felt that it was impossible for Lu Ming's subordinates to have such a powerful bloodline.

But Lu Shi didn't mean to be verbose.

After receiving Lu Ming's response, they had already taken action.

The giant axe was swung, and it actually charged towards Tianxuan Daozi.

The sword energy in the opponent's palm roared and burst forth to meet Lu Shi's attack.

"Bang!" The energy converged.

Tianxuan Daozi's body was moving backward.

He felt a tremendous force crashing towards him.

He could barely hold onto his weapon.

Hong Jian's expression turned very unpleasant.

"Plowing Heaven Sword Technique!" he uttered in a low voice, his hands forming a sword incantation.

A towering sword shadow suddenly appeared overhead.

Hong Jian came here to prove that he was capable of taking on the position of Tianxuan Daozi.

He is even more qualified than the previous Daozi.

"The Heaven-Plowing Sword Technique, no wonder Hong Jian could become a Dao Child. Even if the previous Tianxuan Dao Child hadn't died, he probably would have had the strength to compete with him. It is said that this sword technique is extremely powerful."

"No one has mastered it in nearly a century, so Hong Jian's talent is truly astonishing," Tianji Daozi said, his expression solemn.

The other disciples and the Holy Maiden all nodded in agreement.

This clearly indicates that the other party has acknowledged what they said.

Then, his gaze fell on the battlefield, wanting to watch Hong Jian kill Lu Shi.

But the latter showed no fear. He raised his battle axes with both hands and roared, "Nine Forms of Heaven Opening!"

As the sound rang out, a giant figure appeared behind him. The giant's hair flew wildly, and he wielded a battle axe, sweeping it out with an air of dominance over everything.

Lu Ming had exchanged a considerable number of cultivation techniques and combat skills for his subordinates to exchange for.

The Nine Forms of Opening Heaven is one of them.

It is a simplified version of the "Thirteen Styles of Opening Heaven".

Even so, their combat power is extremely strong.

This combat technique was created by a powerful individual who comprehended the creation myth of Pangu.

Its origins are extraordinary.

The enormous axe blade, three thousand feet long, collided with the falling sword energy as it flew out.

"when!"

The energy released by both sides permeated the entire battlefield.

Like a giant wave, it swept across the surroundings.

Crimson and black rays of light floated in the air.

Lu Shi swayed, but charged forward again in the next moment.

Tianxuan Daozi was so shocked that he vomited blood.

We can only pull ourselves together and fight Lu Shi.

The scene on the battlefield left everyone around them in disbelief.

Clearly, no one expected that one of Lu Ming's generals could fight Tianxuan Daozi to such an extent.

At this moment, Lu Shi is dazzling.

This battle will surely be remembered by everyone.

Moreover, from now on, he has the ability to stand on his own.

Lu Ming stood on the high platform, still showing no intention of moving.

But now he is like an abyss, inspiring fear and speculation.

Even the enemy's generals are so powerful, who dares to say that this outstanding person's future has been ruined?

A cold glint appeared in Tian Shu Dao Zi's eyes.

He felt unprecedented pressure.

This was given to me by Lu Ming.

At that moment, Wu Han, covered in blood, also roared.

"Break the city!"

"Boom!"

Just as his voice rang out, the city gates opened.

The army of Da Yu officially poured in.

The army of Great Xia began to retreat at this time.

The fall of Blackrock City is now a foregone conclusion.

Wu Han, wielding a long sword, soared into the sky, standing atop the clouds, with the colossal Qiongqi beast appearing beneath his feet.

It resembles a hungry tiger, with two wings growing from its back.

"Wu Han, a general under the command of the Duke of Jiuding of the Great Yu, requests guidance from Daoist Tianji!"

A roar erupted.

Its fierce power intimidated all directions.

Tianji Daozi was shouting the loudest just now, and now Wu Han is going to fight for Lu Ming.

For a moment, the situation on the field was already somewhat out of control.

The generals and commanders of the Great Yu Dynasty looked on with envy at this scene.

"Buzz!" The Xiangliu Beast appeared beneath Wang Han's feet. Its body was bluish-black, covered in sharp scales, and nine enormous heads protruded from its shell, shrouded in a thick, dark mist.

Eighteen blood-red eyes gleamed through the mist.

"Wang Han, a disciple of the Duke of the Nine Cauldrons of the Great Yu, requests guidance from all Daoist disciples!"

At this moment, it was as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up.

The generals under Lu Ming's command all took to the air.

Various ferocious beasts appeared beneath their feet, instantly covering the entire battlefield.

"Ah!" Just then, Tianxuan Daozi let out a miserable scream and was sent flying by the blow.

His body crashed to the ground, creating a huge crater with a diameter of 100 meters.

When he stood up unsteadily, he did not hesitate at all and immediately fled into the distance.

Tianji Daozi, Tianshu Daozi, and the others had very ugly expressions, and after a moment they also flew away.

Seemingly still unwilling, after walking several hundred meters, Tianji Daozi reincarnated and said, "Lu Ming, it's nothing to act recklessly under the protection of the power of humanity. I'll be waiting for you in the outer realms."

The sound rang out, and then the figure disappeared a moment later.

When Lu Ming's generals saw that all the Daoists had left...

They all rushed towards the Dharma Aspect experts of the Great Xia Dynasty.

At this point, the Dayu side had completely gained the upper hand.

Lin Xiao's battle with the Second Ancestor also fell into a disadvantageous position at this time.

It should be noted that the latter is a master of the Dao Lord realm.

Although suppressed to the same level, her combat power is still incomparable to Lin Xiao's.

After being suppressed time and time again.

He finally came to terms with reality.

With a swift movement, he withdrew from the battle and shouted, "Retreat!"

The order was given, and they began to fly backward.

Because he knew that if he didn't leave now, he might not be able to leave at all.

The losses in this battle were too great.

Moreover, his troops had completely lost their morale.

In less than an hour, all the Great Xia army had vanished without a trace.

After several days of fierce fighting, the air was thick with a viscous mist of blood.

The ground is bumpy.

Numerous cracks remain on the city wall, and in some places, it has even collapsed entirely.

The corpses of the Great Xia army were gathered together and burned on a large scale.

The wounded from Dayu were carried away for treatment.

The number of fallen soldiers was also being tallied.

The two imperial guards led by Lin Hong and Yu Kun were almost decimated. Of the original 800,000 troops, less than 300,000 are still alive.

Despite having a formation to rely on, they managed to block the enemy's attack.

But losses are unavoidable.

Even so, it was still a great victory for the generals of Dayu.

After all, in the past, if our side had 800,000 against the Great Xia's 400,000, it would have been a one-sided massacre.

Now not only have they blocked the enemy's advance, but they've also forced them to withdraw.

Lin Hong had returned to the high platform and came to the Empress's side with Lu Ming.

After several days of fierce fighting, the old Grand Tutor remained in high spirits.

"Your Majesty, nearly ten million people have been rescued." His voice was filled with joy.

This war, which was not favored by many, was won just like that.

The second patriarch stood on the other side, his smile undisguised.

Looking at Lu Ming, he was very satisfied.

"This victory is largely thanks to Lord Jiuding. Now, what's next?"

The Empress's clear voice rang out.

Even experts from the royal family turned their attention to it.

Now, after this battle, Lu Ming has become the undisputed number one in the army, which is beyond doubt.

"Your Majesty, we must wait for the battle results before making any decisions. It's not just us, but also the losses of the Great Xia army. Their homeland cannot mobilize a large number of troops in a short period of time."

The million-strong army in this battle should be the elite forces from within the twenty-three states.

Once the losses are determined, specific arrangements can be made.

It should be ready by tomorrow.

Lu Ming clasped his hands in a fist salute.

The others nodded.

What the other party said does make sense.

The Empress nodded and said, "Then let the army rest. You have all been fighting for several days. Rest this morning, and we will discuss it again tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing the Empress's order, the courtiers slowly withdrew.

Lu Ming also entered his camp.

At this moment, Wu Han and the others were cleaning their armor.

This battle was unprecedentedly fierce.

This is also a very big challenge for Lu Ming's soldiers.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Upon seeing Lu Ming, a group of generals immediately gathered around to greet him.

Especially generals like Wang Xun, who had not yet been assigned the bloodline of the ferocious beast.

They all grinned, their faces full of fawning.

They did suffer losses in this battle.

Take Lin Wu, for example; he was stabbed in the abdomen.

The armor split open.

Blood is still seeping out.

Lu Ming glanced at everyone and said.

"You all performed well in this battle. Those who haven't received the true blood of the ferocious beasts, come to me later to collect it."

"Thank you, sir!" the generals said hastily.

Lu Ming went straight to his own tent.

He had a feeling that he would get a lot of points.

The system store opened as soon as I entered.

Indeed, we gained a lot.

"32.8 billion points."

Lu Ming took a deep breath.

The exchange process began.

[Ghost Train Bloodline, 30 Billion Points]

[Blood Dragon Bloodline, 25 billion points]

[Six-Winged Golden Cicada Bloodline, 30 Billion Points]

After consuming nearly 20 billion points, Wang Xun and the others obtained their respective beast blood and retreated to cultivate.

At this moment, Lu Ming still had nearly 15 billion points in his hands.

Then they checked it again.

Let's see what items are suitable for exchange.

[Enlightenment Tea, 20 billion points]

Lu Ming's gaze was instantly locked on.

Wudao tea is a really good thing.

With this, you can enter a state of enlightenment and accelerate your understanding of your supernatural powers.

He immediately exchanged it for one.

I'm going to try it out and see how it goes.

However, it wasn't time for him to take it yet.

Zhang Meng's voice rang out from outside the tent.

"My lord, the statistics of our losses have been completed."

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Ming's heart sank.

The losses this time must be considerable.

Although I'm reluctant to face it, as a general, this is something I must know.

"Come in," a calm voice said.

Zhang Meng didn't hesitate and immediately walked in.

"My lord, we have lost 65,421 men in this battle, and the five battalions have lost 4,800 men."

Lu Ming nodded. This was arguably the battle with the highest number of casualties since he began his campaigns.

"What about Great Xia? How much did they lose?"

"The number of people killed in battle should be around 300,000, and we captured more than 200,000. Many of them also ran away and cannot be reunited in a short period of time."

The number of people available to fight again should be over 300,000.

Lu Ming nodded. With this number of people, it was no longer possible to protect the twenty-three prefectures.

Then he said, "You should inform the army to prepare for the expedition in the next few days."

Although he knew that his army must be exhausted after several days of fierce fighting.

But now is the time to race against time.

If we delay until the arrival of reinforcements from the Great Xia, this battle will have been fought in vain.

Therefore, it is imperative to occupy the twenty-three states as soon as possible.

"As ordered!"

After receiving the order, Zhang Meng withdrew.

And just after he left.

But a sound rang out again outside the tent.

Crisp and pleasant.

"Yu Muyun has come to visit. I wonder if Lord Jiuding would be willing to meet him."

"Senior sister, you're so funny. Come in quickly."

Lu Ming said with a smile.

Then, the curtain was lifted, revealing Yu Muyun's figure.

The moon-white battle dress and the thin golden armor accentuated her already curvaceous figure even more perfectly.

He was wearing a cloak draped over his back.

A snow-white, fluffy shawl was draped over her shoulders.

Her beauty was tinged with a touch of heroism, and she also possessed an imposing air of nobility.

Even Lu Ming had to admit that the woman in front of him was truly perfect.

"Lord Jiuding's battle can be said to have shaken the outer realms, and it was a decisive victory. It is truly a blessing for Great Yu to have you here." Yu Muyun said, his eyes filled with admiration.

It has to be said that it is very effective against any man.

Lu Ming pointed to the side and said, "Senior sister, please don't make fun of me. Sit down quickly. After this battle, I and Da Yu will probably become the target of everyone's criticism."

The pressure from the major sects will definitely be greater, and their methods will be more ruthless.

They will definitely not let Dayu have an easy time.

Others can fail countless times, but if we fail even once, it's utter ruin.

The sound rang out, and the atmosphere in the tent became heavy.

Yu Muyun looked up at Lu Ming, a solemn expression in her eyes. "Lord Jiuding, if I were to put you in full charge of Dayu, could you help Dayu grow at an extremely fast pace?"

Just like the soldiers under your command.

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Ming raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, Yu Muyun would ask this question.

Meanwhile, on the other side, news of the Great Yu's victory and the fact that every general under Lu Ming possessed a top-tier ferocious beast avatar spread throughout the outer realms.
