High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

Guan Yun's vital point slammed shut with a bang, and his aura recovered somewhat.

As the extreme cold train gradually disappeared into the distance, Guan Yun's last constraint vanished.

"You really think I'm a pushover, don't you?"

Guan Yun grabbed the air beside him, and a giant blade three meters long appeared in his hand.

"I merely showed weakness, and you, you vermin, delivered yourself to my doorstep to die!"

The figure clearly panicked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

"You really think I'm scared by you?"

The purplish-red mist on Song Ling's body dissipated, revealing her true appearance.

A young man whose face was covered with eerie tattoos.

"Your life force has been completely exhausted, all for the sake of saving these ants and insects."

"We were originally of the same level. If your life essence hadn't been depleted, I might have been afraid of you."

"But now... you have absolutely no power to resist!"

"You've forgotten me?" After defeating the High Priest, the Snow Maiden Queen took flight again and stood beside Guan Yun.

"Get out of the way." Guan Yun said coldly, pushing the Snow Maiden King aside.

"This is a battle between humans and the Abyss; it has no need for you, an alien, to interfere."

"Besides, I'm not so weak that I need a woman to save me!"

The door, which had been barely visible, solidified once more, and an unnatural flush appeared on Guan Yun's face.

"Oh ho, planning to fight to the death?" After seeing Guan Yun's state, Song Ling's smile became even more arrogant.

"Guan Yun! What are you doing?" The Snow Maiden Queen sensed something was wrong and tried to stop Guan Yun.

"Listen up, you lads from the Harbin Military Command!" Guan Yun hoisted the giant blade onto his shoulder, his originally gray hair turning gray in the blink of an eye.

"From today onwards, Guan Zhenyuan is your temporary commander!"

"Before I leave, I want to give one last order!"

"Defend Harbin and protect the evacuated civilians!"

"Also, never try to make peace with other races; only bloodshed can instill fear in them!"

After saying this, the blood-red gate behind Guan Yun collapsed with a crash, turning into countless beams of blood that surged into his body.

"Father!" Guan Zhenyuan's eyes were bloodshot, but he was not impulsive enough to get involved in the battle between the Martial Realm experts.

"Come on, let's see if I die by your hand or if I'll rip your dog's head off!"

Guan Yun's smile was even more ferocious than Song Ling's, and his aura was far superior.

"To shatter one's own path to godhood in exchange for greater power?" Song Ling took a step back, realizing that all the warriors of the Land of Glory were the same.

Crazy, completely insane, not caring about his own life at all!

"Screw your path to godhood, I don't care about any godhood."

The giant blade burst into golden-red flames, and Guan Yun appeared beside Song Ling in a flash.

"All I know is that I'm going to rip your dog's head out of your cavity!"

The giant blade, wreathed in blood flames, slashed down mercilessly, catching Song Ling completely off guard by Guan Yun's sudden attack.

Blood gushed from his shoulder; if Song Ling hadn't reacted instantly, he would have been cut in two.

"Madman, madman..."

Song Ling had heard rumors about the warriors of the Glory Land before; those fools were willing to give everything to protect those unqualified ants.

I can't believe it's true...

bass!

The blade energy flashed past, and Song Ling dodged most of it.

However, some blade energy still grazed his body, and those blade energy that lost their target fell directly to the ground.

The Anling Mountains, stretching for thousands of miles, were cleaved in two by the aftershocks of Guan Yun's strike, and the frozen soil covered with ice shards shattered instantly.

"Pfft!" Song Ling spat out a mouthful of blood. Wasn't he at the same Human Martial Realm as Guan Yun?

Why could he seriously injure himself with just one move?

Guan Yun's face turned pale and then red, and the blood flames on the giant blade flickered on and off.

"He can't hold on much longer!" Song Ling thought with delight as an identical blood-red door appeared behind him.

"open!"

The giant gate opened, and a massive amount of life essence formed waves inside.

A pure black spear flew out from the vital point and landed in Song Ling's hand.

"Breath of Icy Cold!"

A pure white chill enveloped Songling without warning.

The Snow Maiden Queen stepped forward once again, standing beside Guan Yun.

"Didn't I tell you, I don't need your help, you woman?"

Guan Yun glanced at the Snow Maiden Queen, but this time he did not push her away.

"What does this have to do with you? Seventy percent of the Yuki-onna clan has been assimilated by him. How can I break the assimilation if I don't kill him?"

The Snow Woman King snorted coldly, using a rather lame excuse.

Both she and Guan Yun knew that the Snow Woman, once assimilated, could not be restored.

"Do as you please, but if you get in my way, I'll kill you too!"

Having gained a few seconds of respite, the blood flames on Guan Yun's giant blade solidified once more.

"You've taken away his life force... Is there still hope for you?"

The Snow Maiden Queen stood behind Guan Yun, and the ice-blue gate opened instantly.

The life essence was poured onto Guan Yun's body as if it were free, but it had no effect whatsoever.

"Don't waste your energy. You'd be better off killing that dog from the abyss first."

Guan Yun walked out of the waterfall formed by the source of life and rushed towards Song Ling once again.

After breaking free from the icy aura, Song Ling charged forward, spear in hand.

The two collided rapidly, and the visible shockwave destroyed everything around them.

The ground was ripped away layer by layer by the shockwave, and the distant extreme cold train also began to shake violently.

If it weren't for the presence of several grandmasters in the military headquarters below, countless soldiers would have died or been injured by now.

If a Grandmaster is a weapon capable of destroying a nation, then a Human Martial Realm expert is someone who can easily carry out regional extermination.

Any living being is nothing but a clay chicken or a tile dog in front of a Human Martial Realm expert, except for those at the same realm and those at two higher realms.

This confirms that the three elders' decision was correct; the battlefield absolutely cannot be placed on Earth.

As the battle intensified, Songling found it increasingly difficult to defend itself.

Guan Yun's reckless fighting style terrified him. Although he was loyal to the Ten Kings, he was not prepared to give up his life here!

"Get out of here!"

Song Ling thrust his spear forward, piercing Guan Yun's chest.

Guan Yun showed no intention of retreating and directly slashed out with his sword, blocking Song Ling's spear.

"die!"

With no way to avoid it, Song Ling's already wounded body was cleaved in two by Guan Yun's blade.

For some reason, none of the wounds caused by that giant blade could heal, and even the life essence had no effect.

The ice storm stopped at that moment, and everyone on the extreme cold train and in the military looked at the figure in the sky.
