My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

In the battle, the Anzhou army suffered repeated defeats, and without other means, its defeat was inevitable.

Above the army, two majestic figures were facing off.

"boom!"

Before the two even exchanged blows, the mere clash of their auras was enough to change the very fabric of the sky.

"Du Tianhao, your Du family has been ostracized all these years, and you have even been demoted to this poor and remote place, Anzhou. Do you really intend to serve the imperial court?"

The Grand Commander of the Prince of Fu's Mansion exuded an aura that resonated throughout the land, and spoke calmly to Du Tianhao.

"Saving the benefit of words, Prince Fu and the cult are in cahoots, colluding with demons and committing perverse acts; everyone has the right to kill him."

Du Tianhao was a man of integrity. Even though the Du family was ostracized by the court and he suffered injustice, he would never back down to Prince Fu.

Evil cultivators and demons are enemies of the human race. For Prince Fu to collude with them is to sever his own ties with humanity.

"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit. If I kill you, the Du family will fall apart and be divided up by other forces."

The Grand Commander's eyes were icy, his aura as deep as the ocean, and his power overwhelming.

"You are not qualified to be disrespectful in front of me."

Du Tianhao was not to be outdone; his iron-blooded aura rose like billowing smoke, as if one could see a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"boom!"

The clash of their auras shattered the surrounding clouds, creating a hurricane that swept in all directions.

"Get out of the way!"

Both armies quickly moved away from the battlefield.

When experts at the Tongxuan Realm clash, even a trace of their residual power can cause a Qi Condensation Realm expert to die without a burial place.

The Grand Commander manipulates his palms, gathering the winds and clouds within a ten-mile radius, encompassing heaven and earth.

The powerful energy condensed into a giant hand, hundreds of meters long, which covered the sky and descended upon Du Tianhao.

Upon seeing this, Du Tianhao composed himself, unleashed his inner energy, and condensed it into a dazzling sword light hundreds of meters long, which split mountains and shattered peaks to meet the giant hand.

"Bang!"

The colossal hand that blotted out the sky collided with the sword light that cleaved the heavens, creating a deafening roar.

The terrifying force emanated from the point of impact, spreading outwards in all directions.

"puff!"

"what!"

"Well!"

"..."

Soldiers on both sides were unable to dodge in time and all of them exploded and died.

As the dust settled, the giant hand was severed, and the sword energy was also shattered, resulting in mutual destruction.

"puff!"

The commander staggered backward, a mouthful of blood rising to his throat, which he forcibly suppressed.

Du Tianhao swayed, his face flushed, and his chest heaving.

"Du Tianhao truly lives up to his reputation."

After their initial exchange, the Grand Commander gained some insight into Du Tianhao's strength; he was no match for Du Tianhao and found himself at a disadvantage.

However, the gap between the two is not large, making it difficult to determine a winner.

Determining whether to fight to the death is even more difficult.

Unless both are determined to fight to the death, neither can kill the other.

"His strength is not lacking, but he has become an accomplice to evil, and he will not have a good end."

Du Tianhao also stopped making moves, and the two restrained each other, allowing the army below to decide the victor.

On the battlefield, dark clouds hung low over the ground, and smoke billowed for miles.

The densely packed Yunzhou army spread across the plains like a black tide.

With swords and spears like a forest and banners obscuring the sun, the 100,000-strong army was arrayed in a strict formation, exuding a terrifying aura, and their numbers overwhelmed the Anzhou army.

The disparity in troop strength between the two sides is enormous.

Even though the Anzhou army consisted of seasoned veterans, they could not stop their repeated defeats.

"boom!"

Among the Yunzhou army, a large number of evil cultivators made their moves, their evil aura soaring to the heavens.

The hundreds of retainers of the Prince of Fu's mansion went on a killing spree on the battlefield. Their cultivation level was at least Blood Condensation Realm, and there were more than a dozen of them at the Qi Condensation Realm.

The captains and centurions in the Anzhou army were almost completely tied down by them, and no one could stop the evil cultivators.

"Huff, huff huff huff..."

The battlefield is in turmoil, and evil magic has descended upon the world.

Hundreds of evil cultivators stormed into the battlefield and attacked simultaneously.

The two armies clashed, and the bodies of the fallen soldiers were still warm on the ground, their flesh and blood not yet cold.

As the heretical cultivator chanted his incantation, black energy fell to the ground and seeped into the corpses scattered everywhere.

"Sizzle, sizzle sizzle..."

The corpse trembled and its flesh swelled.

Immediately, thousands of corpses rose up like puppets, frantically launching a counterattack against the Anzhou army like walking corpses.

These corpse puppets are painless, fearless of swords and spears, and unaware of fear. Driven only by evil power, they frantically tear apart the soldiers of Anzhou Army.

The corpses of comrades who died on the battlefield instantly transformed into ferocious monsters that slaughtered their own people.

"what!"

"puff!"

"Well!"

"..."

In an instant, the Anzhou army suffered heavy losses and was almost completely routed.

These veterans, fearless in countless battles, had never witnessed such a sinister and terrifying sight, and a chill ran through their hearts.

The methods of heretical practitioners are not limited to this.

They drew blood from the battlefield, condensed it into a mist, and instantly a crimson blood mist enveloped the Anzhou army.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

"Kill me, kill me."

"Retreat quickly."

"..."

As the blood mist approached the Anzhou soldiers, it began to frantically corrode their flesh.

The soldiers were in unbearable pain, and some even took their own lives to end their suffering.

These blood mists can also affect soldiers, causing them to lose their minds and become berserk.

Many soldiers instantly lost their minds, went berserk and killed indiscriminately, swinging their swords at their comrades.

The evil cultivators then unleashed their most vicious and wicked arts, using the remnant souls of fallen soldiers as bait to capture and plunder the countless resentful thoughts of those on the verge of death.

It transformed into a sky full of mournful wails and the howls of wronged souls, attacking the spirits of the soldiers of Anzhou.

The Anzhou army was thrown into chaos and unable to launch a counterattack, resulting in a one-sided battle.

The methods of evil practitioners are endless, insidious, and utterly unscrupulous.

The battlefield was transformed into a bloody inferno and a sinister slaughterhouse by hundreds of evil cultivators.

No matter how elite the Anzhou border troops were, they were still just ordinary soldiers, made of flesh and blood.

It can withstand a thousand troops, but it cannot withstand the vicious methods of evil cultivators.

Soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and their ranks crumbled step by step.

The entire army was filled with fear and trembling with apprehension.

"Kill them."

After destroying the Anzhou army's formation, the evil cultivators turned their attention to the captains, centurions, and others who were fighting against the servants of the Prince of Fu's mansion.

The evil cultivators avoided close combat, constantly moving around and attacking from the sides, posing a great threat to the generals of Anzhou Army.

Soon, the Anzhou army suffered a complete rout, with many centurions and captains dying tragically. The defeat was swift and irreversible.

"retreat."

Du Tianhao's order to retreat came from high above; if the fighting continued, the Anzhou army would be completely annihilated.

"Trying to leave? Not so easy! Kill them all!"

The Anzhou army wanted to retreat, but Yunzhou would not allow them to do so.

A portion of the Yunzhou army bypassed the battlefield and cut off the Anzhou army's retreat.

"Oh no, we're surrounded!"

With their retreat cut off, the Anzhou army had nowhere to retreat and was trapped in a desperate situation.

"boom!"

Just then, Du Tianhao suddenly attacked, and the Grand Commander also swiftly charged towards him.

"Bang!"

Du Tianhao forcibly shifted the battlefield downwards, creating an opening for the Anzhou army.

"Hurry up and go."

With a chance to survive suddenly appearing, the Anzhou soldiers rushed to flee.

"Damn it, don't let them get away, chase them!"

The Yunzhou army relentlessly pursued and killed the Anzhou army, determined to wipe them out completely.
