My son is about to break through.

"General Qi!"

"A spy reported that the army of the Shenwu Dynasty appeared 500 miles outside Qingyun City and will arrive soon!"

Inside the government office of Qingyun City in Yunxian Prefecture, a spy respectfully reported back. Upon hearing this, the expression of the middle-aged general in armor suddenly became solemn.

"The Shenwu Dynasty moves so fast!"

Lu Zhou felt a little heavy in his heart.

He already knew the news of the fall of Taiyang Prefecture.

Yunxian Prefecture, as a prefecture adjacent to Taiyang Prefecture, is bound to become the next target of the Shenwu Dynasty.

However, in Lu Zhou's opinion, although the Shenwu Dynasty had already captured Taiyang Prefecture, it would take at least some time to stabilize the situation before it would be able to continue sending troops.

But now.

It took less than two days from the fall of Taiyang Prefecture to the dispatch of troops by the Shenwu Dynasty.

Such a swift move shocked Lu Zhou.

obviously.

The methods of the generals of the Shenwu Dynasty were much more powerful than he had imagined.

"Investigate further. I want to know the number of the Shenwu Dynasty's troops and who is leading them!"

"Yes!"

The spy retreated immediately.

Subsequently.

Lu Zhoucai then looked at the other person in the hall. The other person was dressed in blue and had an elegant face, like a weak scholar.

however.

Facing this person, Lu Zhou looked somewhat respectful.

"The Shenwu Dynasty is coming with great force, Taiyang Prefecture has already fallen, and with the current defense force of Yunxian Prefecture, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to be their opponent.

Next, I'm afraid I'll have to ask Master Nan for some help."

Hear the words.

The blue-robed scholar smiled faintly and said, "Master Nan, you are too polite. The Xingchen Dynasty and the Guiyuan Dynasty are closely related. Now that the Shenwu Dynasty is invading, I cannot sit idly by and watch.

I heard that the Shenwu Dynasty led the troops quite well this time, and I want to see it for myself!"

"With Lord Nan here, I believe the Shenwu Dynasty will not be a problem!"

Lu Zhou's expression relaxed, and then he smiled.

It's no wonder that he has enough confidence in the blue-robed scholar in front of him. Although he looks elegant and easy-going, he is actually the ninth strongest among the thirty-six generals of the Star Empire.

With this person around, the Shenwu Dynasty cannot be overturned.

Of course.

If it was the retired emperor of the Shenwu Dynasty who took action personally, that would be a different matter.

However, according to Lu Zhou's understanding, the emperor rarely interfered in the world's affairs and spent most of his time in seclusion, so Lu Zhou did not have too many worries.

-

In Yunxian Mansion.

The army temporarily stopped to rest.

Shi Zhen's expression became much more serious as he listened to his subordinates' reports.

"Thirty-six kings!"

"Nan Mo——"

Information about the other party emerged in Shi Zhen's mind.

The thirty-six generals of the Xingchen Empire are the most core force in the dynasty. Nan Mo is ranked ninth, and his cultivation has reached the semi-saint realm.

more importantly.

Since he took office, he has fought for the Xingchen Empire in many battles and rarely suffered defeat.

In addition, the Ninth King was extremely powerful, and countless monks had died at his hands.

Shi Zhen couldn't help but pay attention to such a strong man.

"A half-saint is indeed a big trouble!"

Inside the tent, other generals also had serious expressions on their faces, making the atmosphere in the air somewhat depressing.

After all, a strong man in the semi-saint realm can put a lot of pressure on them.

and.

The shadow of a famous tree.

Nan Mo is a general of the Star Empire. Whether it is his ability to lead troops or his own strength, he should not be underestimated.

at this time.

A lieutenant general said: "If this person is in charge of Qingyun City, we will have to pay a heavy price to take over Qingyun City.

But if we bypass Qingyun City, we will easily be attacked from both sides.

I’m afraid this matter is a bit tricky!”

"That's right... In my opinion, this matter still needs to be considered carefully!"

The others also nodded.

A half-saint made them feel pressured, and the morale that was originally boosted by the great victory of Taiyang Prefecture has now dropped a lot.

Shi Zhen looked stern as he looked at the people in the tent and said in a deep voice: "One half-saint is not enough to deter my army."

"Half-saints are also human beings and can die just as well!"

"Now all my elite warriors are here. Not to mention the Ninth General, even if the thirty-sixth General came in person, a million cavalrymen would be enough to turn them into ashes!"

at this time.

A soldier walked in from outside and bowed, "General, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Lord Gu, wants to see you!"

"Please come quickly!"

Shi Zhen perked up and immediately smiled.

After receiving the order, the soldier bowed and retreated. A moment later, Gu Yi walked in slowly with a black box on his back.

"Hello, Master Shi!"

"Master Gu, you are too polite!"

Shi Zhen also hurriedly returned the gift and was extremely polite to Gu Yi.

Although he was much higher in rank than Gu Yi, Shi Zhen knew very well that the existence of the Jinyiwei could not be measured by the rank.

The status of this organization is extremely special, and even Shi Zhen has to take it seriously.

Of course.

There is another major reason for this.

That is Gu Yi in front of him, also a top powerhouse at the ninth level of Dao Palace Realm.

Shi Zhen knew very well how he broke through the ninth level of Dao Palace Realm. Now that Gu Yi was also at the ninth level of Dao Palace Realm, some things were tacitly understood.

To know.

Even the strong men from Nanyue Mountain, who was in charge of the Sky Patrol Guard, and the Evil Suppression Division, could not get such an honor.

The fact that Gu Yi was able to make a breakthrough was enough to show how much Gu Yang valued him.

Subsequently.

Shi Zhen asked, "I wonder if Lord Gu has any instructions for you this time?"

"Your Majesty learned that the Xingchen Empire wanted to intervene in this matter, and was worried that Master Shi would not be a match for the Xingchen Empire, so he asked this humble official to bring the treasure with him to help Master!"

When he finished speaking, Gu Yi had already taken off the black box behind him and handed it directly to Shi Zhen.

The box felt cold to the touch, but Shi Zhen could feel the terrifying aura contained in it. The moment he opened the box, he saw murderous intent rising into the sky, and a blood-red light shone, filling the entire tent.

"This is--"

Shi Zhen looked at the God-killing Spear in front of him and his pupils suddenly shrank. Although he could not see the origin of the God-killing Spear, the strange phenomenon that appeared before his eyes was enough to show that this divine weapon was extraordinary.

The other generals' eyes were now fixed on the bronze spear, their faces filled with shock.

“This is the God-killing Spear, which was once the great holy weapon of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land. Later, the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land was destroyed, and this treasure fell into the hands of the Emperor.

Later, Your Majesty specially asked the Supreme Emperor for this precious treasure and ordered me to bring it to you.

I believe that with the help of this treasure, the problems of the Xingchen Empire are nothing to worry about!" Gu Yi said calmly.

His words filled Shi Zhen's face with surprise.

"Okay, Lord Gu, please go back and tell His Majesty that with this treasure, I will definitely take down the entire Guiyuan Dynasty!"

What is a mere Ninth King General? Even if the opponent is a strong man in the semi-saint realm, so what? Now that he has the God-killing Spear in his hand, Shi Zhen does not take the opponent seriously.

After all, the strong men of the Great Saint Army are definitely not something that the so-called Half Saint can contend with.

Don't even mention half-saint.

Even if a real saint were to appear before him, Shi Zhen now had the confidence to fight.

Even though Shi Zhen has not yet truly refined the God-killing Spear, when his spiritual sense falls here, he can clearly feel the terrifying power contained therein.

Such a treasure.

It is truly shocking.

Subsequently.

Gu Yi bowed and said, "I will definitely convey your words, sir. This matter has been settled. I still need to go back and report, so I will take my leave now!"

"Master Gu, take care!"

Shi Zhen did not try to keep the other party. He politely escorted Gu Yi out of the tent and then turned back.

He looked at the God-killing Spear in front of him, and then looked at the others.

"Pass on my order. The army will rest for three days. Then we will attack Qingyun City again after three days!"

"Yes!"

Now all the generals are very excited.

Originally they had no confidence in resisting the Star Empire, but now it is different.

The imperial court personally sent people to send the Great Saint Soldiers to command the army. With such a treasure in hand, the so-called Starry Dynasty is nothing.

Although it is true that the Starry Dynasty has a strong foundation, what the Shenwu Dynasty has to face now is not the entire Starry Dynasty, but only a semi-saint cultivator of the Starry Dynasty.

and so.

They were not very nervous.

As for Shi Zhen's purpose of letting the army rest for three days, they also had some guesses.

The other party simply needs time to master the Great Saint Soldier.

After all, not everyone can use such a treasure. It needs to be refined before its power can be truly unleashed.

Although Shi Zhen was not clear about the generals' speculations, in fact, this was also his plan.

-

When the army of the Shenwu Dynasty set up camp, the news was quickly learned by the spies of the Guiyuan Dynasty, who immediately passed the news to Lu Zhou.

When the latter heard the news, he thought for a moment and concluded that the reason why the Shenwu Dynasty did not attack immediately but chose to set up camp was because they were afraid of the Xingchen Dynasty.

After realizing this, Lu Zhou felt relieved.

"A newly-promoted dynasty is always a newly-promoted dynasty. Even if there are some opportunities, the foundation is limited!"

Lu Zhou smiled slightly, and then ordered someone to inform Nan Mo of the news.

When the powerful man from the Star Dynasty heard this, he had the same idea as Lu Zhou.

but.

Nan Mo didn't care too much.

After all, the purpose of his trip was just to assist the Guiyuan Dynasty in stabilizing the situation. Right now the Shenwu Dynasty's army had set up camp and was not making any rash moves for the time being, so Nan Mo was too lazy to cause trouble for himself.

now.

When the army of the Shenwu Dynasty set up camp, the Guiyuan Dynasty also refused to venture out, and the two sides fell into a strange balance.

time flies.

Three days flew by.

Inside the commander's tent, Shi Zhen sat cross-legged. The iron box that originally contained the God-killing Spear was now empty. Looking at his Dantian Palace, a bronze spear was lying there quietly.

The spear is stained with blood!

The killing is boiling!
When Shi Zhen's divine consciousness fell into the bronze spear, faintly triggering some of the power of this treasure, the Great Saint's soldiers trembled wildly, and the rolling murderous intent swept in all directions like a wave.

next interest.

Shi Zhen's mind moved, and the God-killing Spear fell into his hand. A weak and mysterious connection was generated between them, making him feel as if he could tear the heaven and earth apart.

but.

Shi Zhen did not actually launch this attack, but instead put the God-killing Spear back into his dantian.

"As expected of a Great Saint Soldier, even with my current cultivation level, I can only barely brand a little bit of my soul in three days. If I want to truly refine it completely, it will take quite a while!"

"But even so, it's enough. Three days of rest is enough. There's no need to delay any further."

Shi Zhen had no plans to continue refining the God-killing Spear, but leaving a mark of his soul on it was enough for him to initially activate the power of this great sacred weapon.

Notice.

The Great Saint’s soldiers are terrifying.

Even if one activates a fraction of its power, it is enough to easily suppress any cultivator below the level of Saint.

In addition, the Shenwu Dynasty's troops are now divided into three routes, and the other two armies are fighting. If the battle in Yunxian Mansion is delayed too long, it will undoubtedly increase the pressure on the other two armies.

So no matter from which perspective, three days of rest is the limit for the army, and continuing to rest will not be worth it.

Immediately.

Shi Zhen came out of the pass, summoned all the generals, and directly issued the order to attack.

In an instant.

The trumpet sounded.

After three days of rest, all the soldiers recovered to a great extent, and their morale reached a real peak.

In less than an hour, millions of troops were completely integrated.

"set off!"

"We will definitely take down Qingyun City today!"

Shi Zhen rode on a tall horse, looking straight ahead with a deep gaze, where an ancient city was looming.

that--

It’s Qingyun City!
Although it is hundreds of miles away, the land is flat and the Taoists have amazing eyesight, so it is not difficult for them to discover the existence of Qingyun City.

As the army set out, all the spies of the Guiyuan Dynasty were instantly alarmed.

Less than an hour.

This news was passed to Lu Zhou.

"What!? The army of the Shenwu Dynasty has set out!!"

"Yes, now the Shenwu Dynasty's millions of troops are heading towards Qingyun City. I hope you can make a decision soon!"

"Talk and report again!"

Lu Zhou waved his hand and asked people to leave. His eyes were gloomy and his face had become extremely ugly.

It was thought that the Shenwu Dynasty was afraid of the emergence of the Xingchen Dynasty, so they did not dare to act rashly, but they did not expect that the other side would set out again after only a three-day truce.

Now that millions of troops are coming with great force, Lu Zhou feels tremendous pressure.

at this time.

Nan Mo walked in from outside.

"Lord Lu, I heard that the Shenwu Dynasty is going to attack Qingyun City?"

When entering the lobby, Nan Mo was the first to ask.

Lu Zhou glanced at the other party and forced an ugly smile on his face: "Master Nan is well-informed. I just got the news and Master Nan already knew it."

“Yes, this time the Shenwu Dynasty’s millions of troops are heading towards Qingyun City, and it won’t be long before they are at the gates of the city.

Once this war breaks out, Qingyun City will be unable to resist, and will have to rely on the talents of Nanda!"

Nan Mo's appearance gradually calmed Lu Zhou's somewhat anxious heart.

In his opinion.

It is true that the Shenwu Dynasty is coming with great momentum, but we have the strong men of the Xingchen Dynasty on our side. If the two sides really want to fight, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose. (End of this chapter)
