I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

Outside the tranquil city of Cold Moon, the sound of war drums suddenly rang out.

The piercing alarm blared throughout the city.

This alarm hasn't sounded for over a decade, but even school children know why it sounds—there's only one possibility…war!

Two military warriors carrying loudspeakers moved quickly through the city, their voices carrying far and wide.

"Ferocious beasts are attacking the city! All martial artists above the Mortal Realm within the city, assemble at the city gate!"

"Anyone who tries to flee out of fear will be executed without pardon!"

Panic instantly spread throughout the city, and the people were thrown into chaos.

"Ferocious beasts? Our Cold Moon City is located in the far northwest, and we haven't had any ferocious beast attacks on the city for decades. How could there suddenly be ferocious beasts attacking the city?!"

"Never mind that for now, let's pack our things and run! If the beast gets in, we're all dead!"

"Run for your lives, you bunch of cowards! Bah! If you're men, follow me to the city walls and defend our country!"

"That's right. All those years of hard training were for this moment! Why should we be afraid of a bunch of beasts!"

The group of warriors, full of confidence, climbed the city wall upon receiving the summons.

But when they saw the dark, overwhelming horde of beasts in the distance, like a black cloud obscuring the sun, they fell silent. This was their first time facing a beast tide, and it would leave a shadow that they would never forget.

When ferocious beasts attack a city, the most terrifying thing is never the strength of the beasts, but their overwhelming number!

"roar--!"

Even from a great distance, one could hear the roars coming from afar.

It was impossible to see the exact number, but it was at least no less than ten thousand. How many people could stand on the city wall? A few hundred?

In other words, most of them had no choice but to rush down the city walls and fight the beast horde head-on.

At this moment, to everyone's surprise,

The martial arts teams belonging to the three major groups suddenly leaped off the city wall, each wielding a weapon, and charged towards the beast tide, looking as if they were ready to die.

"kill!!"

This sentiment infected the warriors on the city wall, whose eyes hardened, and they too jumped off the wall.

"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, you'll be a hero again in your next life!"

"You bunch of beasts, I'll fight you to the death!!!"

"Defend Coldmoon City!"

Two Divine Manifestation Realm warriors appeared at the forefront of the battlefield, condensing into towering illusory Dharma images. They charged into the beast tide as if it were empty land, spraying beast blood, and in a short time, hundreds of ferocious beasts perished.

This gave those martial artists great confidence, and their fighting spirit soared even higher.

Little did they know, it was all just an act.

These two Divine Appearance Realm martial artists were from the Lei family and the Zhao family.

...

at the same time.

Outside a canyon about 20 miles from Cold Moon City.

Beyond this canyon lies the Great Jin Kingdom. Within the canyon, fierce winds converge, creating a rare and unique terrain. The gale-force winds are so fierce that ordinary people who enter will die instantly. Therefore, this canyon is also known as the most dangerous place in Cold Moon City.

As soon as Jiang Qin stopped, a group of people dressed in strange clothes appeared above the canyon.

The leader was a man wearing an animal skin coat. He stared at Jiang Qin and couldn't help but clap his hands.

"As expected of Special Envoy Jiang, who can make those three families tremble with fear. Knowing it was a trap, he actually came alone to save his friend. We truly admire him. I admire a true man like you."

"People from the Great Jin Kingdom..."

Jiang Qin murmured, not surprised, and then said calmly, "I'm here now. You should release my friend, since you wanted to kill me, didn't you?"

Without uttering any unnecessary words, Tuwen waved to his subordinates.

Soon, Chen Xiaohu was pushed out by two people and placed next to Jiang Qin.

As a warrior of the Great Jin Kingdom, Tuwen still showed some mercy. Anyway... this fat man had already drunk the poison they had prepared, and he would die from the poison in half an hour at most.

"Boss."

"Yes, you've worked hard."

Jiang Qin instructed, "Go back and help Su Lingwei first. I want to stay here and play with them for a while."

Chen Xiaohu nodded vigorously, turned around and quickly fled into the distance, after all, this was planned from the very beginning.

At this moment, the image and text above frowned and looked into the distance.

According to the timeline, another Divine Realm expert should have arrived here by now to assist them in eliminating this young envoy, in case he has any backup plans.

But the other party has not shown up yet.

"Forget it, never mind."

"Anyway, as long as I take care of this kid, my deal with them will be done."

The image shows a cube that emits a red glow.

As the block emitted a dazzling red light, the environment within a kilometer radius rapidly changed.

The azure sky turned blood red, as if it had been stained with blood.

The environment suddenly became gloomy.

The environment within a kilometer radius is the same.

However, if viewed from a kilometer away, the area remains unchanged, except that Jiang Qin, Tu Wen, and others are no longer present.

It was as if they had been sucked into a special space.

Jiang Qin's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his hand to unleash a slash.

The slash hadn't gone far when it seemed to be blocked by some kind of barrier, or perhaps swallowed up, without any trace returning, as if it had vanished into nothingness.

"Give up. This is a very special domain-type spiritual artifact, which cannot be broken by anyone who is not at the Earth Martial Realm."

More than fifty figures emerged from behind the illustrations, their cultivation levels at least at the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. They were all elites among the elites of the Great Jin Kingdom's army.

"Blame it on the excessive corruption within China and your terrifying talent!"

"Therefore, to ensure absolute success, even if it means using a domain-type spiritual artifact, we must kill you here and eliminate a future threat for our Great Jin Kingdom!"

"Let's do it!"

...

Just as a great battle was about to break out in the Gale Canyon.

The Li family's Divine Physiognomy Realm expert, "Old Man Hua," who was supposed to go and help kill Jiang Qin, was stopped by someone on the way.

The elderly woman in fine clothes frowned as she stared at the figure not far away. As a fellow cultivator at the Divine Manifestation Realm, she naturally sensed the aura emanating from the other party, and a deep sense of apprehension flashed in her eyes.

She was already at the mid-stage of the Divine Aspect Realm, so for the other party to give her this feeling meant that the other party was at least at the late-stage of the Divine Aspect Realm.

"Who are you, and why are you blocking my way?"

"You want to kill my young master? Tell me, who am I?"

Butler Jiang stood there calmly, his hands behind his back.

As he revealed his identity, Elder Hua suddenly realized: "So you are Jiang Qin's source of confidence. No wonder he dared not ask the headquarters of the Spirit Suppression Bureau for help. But unfortunately... his plan is destined to fail."

A sinister smile stretched across the old man's face:

"Even if you stop me here, he is still doomed! The Divine Realm experts of the Great Jin Kingdom are already waiting for him in the Gale Valley, along with the elite warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom. He alone will not be able to escape."

"Even if you rush to his aid now, you'll only find his corpse!"

Just when she thought Butler Jiang would be furious, he shook his head.

"The only thing I need to do is stop you here. As for the Gale Canyon, the young master will take care of that."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Hua's expression changed drastically.

"Could it be that you're not the only Divine Realm expert following him?!"

"No, young master did indeed go alone."

"Then why..."

Faced with the question posed by this dying man, Butler Jiang generously provided an answer.

"When people are in dire straits, they develop strong obsessions, putting themselves in a life-or-death situation in order to break through the barrier with their obsessions."

Hua Lao was surprised to receive such an answer and immediately realized that they had probably been in each other's trap from the beginning.

Her face showed undisguised shock: "He's insane! That's a Divine Manifestation Realm cultivator; he could easily crush him with a flick of his finger. How dare he attempt to face the might of a Divine Manifestation Realm cultivator with only his Spirit Sea Realm body!"

"I can't understand this either." Butler Jiang sighed. His duty was to protect Jiang Qin's safety, but now he had to help Jiang Qin complete his plan.

The young master threatened him with suicide, leaving him with no other choice.

Thinking of this, a strong killing intent seeped into Butler Jiang's eyes, and his aura transformed from that of a frail old man into that of a killing god as he looked at Elder Hua.

"If the young master really died in that Gale Canyon."

"After this incident, no matter what you so-called three great families of Hanyue City have done that has angered the heavens and the people, no matter where you flee to, as long as there is one member of your family still alive, my Jiang family will never give up."

"Until your bloodline is completely extinguished!"

"As for you... now come forward and meet your death."
