Chapter 727 You've really hurt me terribly
Huang Tianming felt an urge to bang his head against the wall. In just two or three days, the city of Nantian Kingdom was almost deserted.

His Southern Heaven Kingdom army still has fewer than three thousand men remaining here. This is only because this three-thousand-man personal guard battalion was trained by Huangfu Yan, whom he personally promoted. They stayed because they were watching over Huangfu Yan.

As for the recruitment notice, apart from the Zhang siblings who came on the first day, no one else came to join him.

Instead of witnessing a gathering of heroes from all over the land, all I saw were empty houses scattered throughout the city.

"Chen Guan, why haven't any heroes come to surrender these past two days?" Huang Tianming is too lazy to even call him the Imperial Advisor anymore. If this continues, he, the king, will soon be destroyed along with the Southern Heaven Kingdom. What kind of Imperial Advisor is he then?

"No rush, wait a little longer." Chen Guan calmly drank his tea, and when his cup was empty, Zhang Chunxiang refilled it for him.

Seeing such natural movements, Huang Tianming could no longer suppress his suspicions: "You two have known each other for a long time, haven't you?"

"Yes, we've known each other for a long time," Zhang Chunxiang replied readily.

"Fine, fine, you admit it, right? He's the one who brought you here, isn't he?" Huang Tianming felt like a clown being made a fool of, so angry that he couldn't even speak properly.

“We’ve always admitted it. He’s the one who brought us here. What’s the problem with that?” Zhang Chunxiang said matter-of-factly.

Huang Tianming was so angry that his lips were trembling. He opened his mouth several times but no sound came out. His raised hand was also shaking. After a long while, he finally exploded and pointed at Zhang Chunxiang and the others, roaring: "You liars! You have ruined me! What did I do to offend you? Why are you doing this to me?"

"We didn't harm you, we came to help you." Zhang Chunxiang looked completely innocent, then turned to Chen Guan and asked, "Did you harm him?"

“No, I helped him get back so many empty houses that had already been sold, and made him so much money. How could that be harming him?” Chen Guan took a sip of tea and slowly put down his teacup.

Huang Tianming became even angrier upon hearing about the houses. Pointing at Chen Guan, he roared, "What use are houses now that everyone's dead? The Crimson Blood Legion's troops will be here soon. By then, my Southern Heaven Kingdom won't even belong to me anymore. What good are these dilapidated houses? Tell me, what good are they?"

"Don't rush, wait a little longer, someone will come," Chen Guan said slowly and deliberately.

"If we wait any longer, the Crimson Blood Legion's iron hooves will be trampling on my head. How can I wait any longer?" Huang Tianming pointed at Chen Guan, Zhang Chunxiang, and the others with trembling fingers, his heart filled with despair yet his hatred unquenchable: "Liars, you are all liars, fake, all fake. You are not from the Zhang family at all. So who are you? Why are you doing this to me?"

“Don’t talk nonsense. We are from the Zhang family, not some swindlers,” Zhang Chunxiang said.

"At this point, are you trying to make this up for me? Do you think I'm stupid?" Huang Tianming glared fiercely at Zhang Chunxiang and said.

Just as Chen Guan was about to speak, a messenger came running up: "Report! The Crimson Blood Legion has arrived at the city walls, and their leader wishes to speak with Your Majesty."

Having reached this point, Huang Tianming knew that whether he faced danger or not, he would be killed anyway. He said fiercely to Chen Guan and the others, "You will all come with me. If my Southern Heaven Kingdom is destroyed today, you will all die for it."

Chen Guan and Zhang Chunxiang followed Huang Tianming to the city wall, where they saw General Huangfu Yan, nicknamed "Black Tiger," standing on the city gate tower, watching the enemy troops outside.

After Huang Tianming climbed the city gate tower, he saw tens of thousands of Crimson Blood Legion soldiers outside, lined up in neat formations, even their pets were lined up in orderly rows. The heart that had been hanging in suspense finally died.

This brought at least 20,000 Crimson Blood Army soldiers, and they all appeared to be elites, far beyond what Huangfu Yan's 3,000 personal guards could possibly withstand.

Although he himself was exceptionally capable and extremely strong in combat.

But since the Crimson Blood Legion is able to come, they must have prepared a way to deal with him. This battle is likely to end badly.

"Where is Huang Tianming? Come out and speak!" Yang Sanle shouted at the city gate. Huang Tianming's Heaven-Crushing Earth-Sinking Hammer was indeed powerful, but even the most powerful treasures and abilities have their weaknesses.

Yang Sanle's Heavenly Treasure, the Nine Heavens Thunder Whip, is the nemesis of the Heavenly Collapse Hammer, so he is not afraid at all.

He wasn't afraid, and Lu Jianfeng on the other side was even less afraid. His Destiny Treasure, the Lover's Life-Taking Lock, also had a very good restraining effect on the Sky-Collapsing and Earth-Sinking Hammer.

Lei Bin didn't just pick them randomly. Although he wanted to promote his own people, he also had to see if these people had the ability to become his own people.

Useless trash is not one of us.

Upon hearing Yang Sanle's voice, Huang Tianming immediately knew something was wrong. Standing on the city gate tower, he carefully looked at the enemy's commander, and what he saw made him even more distressed.

In the past two years, he has had quite a few dealings with Yang Sanle and Lu Jianfeng. Ever since his last visit to the Crimson Blood Legion ended in a very unpleasant incident, the Crimson Blood Legion has assigned these two people to target him, which has made him very depressed.

It's not that they can't beat them, but they're definitely at a disadvantage. Huang Tianming gets a headache just looking at them.

He wasn't afraid of a head-on confrontation, but these two were incredibly cunning, avoiding any direct fight and leaving him powerless and miserable.

"Huang Tianming, why aren't you coming out and saying anything? Do you really want me to storm into the Southern Heaven Kingdom?" Yang Sanle shouted arrogantly.

"Grand Preceptor, you hate the Heavenly Army even more than I do, so you should go first in the first battle," Huang Tianming said with a cold snort, looking at Chen Guan.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please wait a moment." Chen Guan was quite obedient. He walked to the city wall and looked at Yang Sanle, who was shouting in front of the city gate.

Huang Tianming and Huangfu Yan both stared at him, wondering what he could do.

Yang Sanle was in the middle of a good rant when he saw someone finally come out. He was about to continue his tirade when he suddenly saw the person's face clearly. He immediately swallowed the breath that was about to come out, choked and coughed, tears and snot streaming down his face.

Lu Jianfeng was shocked to see Yang Sanle in this state, thinking he had been ambushed. He quickly rode his horse out and came to Yang Sanle's side, asking, "Old Yang, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

"I...I'm fine...We can't fight this battle...We can't win..." Yang Sanle said to Lu Jianfeng after catching his breath.

"We haven't even started fighting yet, how can you say you can't win? Old Yang, you're really disgracing the people from the Blood Kirin clan." Lu Jianfeng looked puzzled; he had never heard Yang Sanle say such a thing before.

“If you can win, then go ahead and fight. But I advise you to check who’s on the city wall first before you try to embarrass me,” Yang Sanle said.

"It's no use who comes today, I must take over this Southern Heaven Kingdom... Damn it..." Lu Jianfeng looked up and saw the people on the city wall, and immediately shuddered, almost biting his tongue.

"Shout?" Yang Sanle laughed immediately and teased.

"The commander is still alive?" Lu Jianfeng's eyes were filled with joy.

They were part of the Crimson Blood Legion, and it didn't matter who the legion leader was, but those who came from the Blood Kirin Legion all recognized Chen Guan as the commander of the vanguard battalion.

If it weren't for Chen Guan leading them to such a brilliant battle, which boosted their morale, they would not have been able to get to where they are today.
