"They are about to start the attack!" With the rapid drumbeats, Hai Bodong and other strong men's faces became solemn.

The atmosphere on the city wall suddenly became tense, and the soldiers held their weapons tightly, ready to meet the coming attack. The drumbeats were like a horn before the battle, making everyone's heart beat faster, and a sense of tension that was about to explode filled the air. Everyone in the fortress knew that at this moment, they would face a real test.

The sound of drums echoed in the air, and soon the ground began to tremble, as if responding to the upcoming battle. In the distance, the endless army surged towards the fortress like surging waves. Their footsteps were like thunder, shaking the sky and bringing heavy pressure to everyone present.

"All Dou Wang warriors, immediately disperse to various defense lines and guard against the opponent's Dou Wang!" Jia Xingtian's voice was firm and powerful, his face was solemn as he gave orders.

As the order was issued, the soldiers on the fortress quickly entered a state of preparation for battle. Among the dark crowd, streams of light streaked across the sky. They were the strong men from the three empires. Their presence doubled the pressure on the Black Mountain Fortress.

When the endless army was nearly a thousand meters away from the fortress, they suddenly stopped and a murderous aura burst out from among them, like a real wave, covering the entire fortress.

As the army of the Three Kingdoms coalition stopped, rays of light suddenly flashed across the sky, and then figures with fighting wings on their backs appeared. They looked down from above, gazing at the well-defended Black Mountain Fortress below with cold smiles.

The soldiers on the city wall felt the oppression of this murderous aura, but they did not retreat. Instead, they gripped their weapons even more firmly.

At the tense moment of confrontation between the two armies, a loud and arrogant laugh suddenly echoed in the sky. The sound was so powerful that it penetrated every corner of the battlefield and was clearly heard by everyone.

"Haha, in my opinion, your Jia Ma Empire is just a bunch of rabble, no match for our coalition. I originally thought that your Jia Ma Empire had produced a few Dou Zong strongmen, which would be a bit impressive, but now it seems that even if those three old guys join forces, they are no match for me. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible and bow down to our three empires, then maybe we will consider sparing your lives."

As these provocative words fell, a dazzling golden light burst out from the coalition forces and rushed straight into the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a man in a golden battle robe floating in the sky. A pair of huge golden wings stretched out behind him, shining brightly, like a god descending, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

With the appearance of the man in gold, thunderous cheers broke out among the coalition forces. Their voices were as surging as the waves, showing that this man had an extremely high status in their hearts.

"The wild geese fall from the sky!" Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian and Yunshan looked at the man who spread his fighting spirit wings and stood proudly in the air. Their faces turned serious.

After being insulted like this repeatedly, they also felt angry and unwilling. The three of them joined forces but were still no match for one person, and this sense of defeat made their hearts burn with anger.

Yan Luotian's declaration was still echoing in the air when a mocking laugh was heard. Three streams of light of different colors flew out rapidly from the coalition forces' formation and eventually transformed into three old men with sneering faces, floating in mid-air.

The three old men were all wearing green robes with patterns of three kinds of beasts embroidered on them: lions, tigers, and bears. These patterns were not simple embroidery, but seemed to be condensed by some strange energy, and they were lifelike.

When the eyes fell on these patterns, the three ferocious beasts seemed to jump out of the cloth, and their scarlet eyes revealed a fierce light, which was enough to make a weak-willed person feel weak in the legs under such murderous gaze.

"Master Yan, are you kidding me? We are not here to do charity." The lion-robed old man said, his voice full of sarcasm. They obviously did not buy into Yan Luotian's so-called "accepting surrender." "Our goal is to completely defeat the Jia Ma Empire, not to give them any breathing space."

When the figures of the three old men appeared on the battlefield, the soldiers on the Black Mountain Fortress couldn't help but narrow their eyes, and the atmosphere became more tense.

Queen Medusa snorted coldly, her eyes as sharp as swords, and her tone was filled with disdain: "Hmph, the three of you are just relying on secret techniques to forcibly increase your combat power. If you hadn't escaped quickly last time, I would have killed you off the horse long ago." Her words revealed a sense of arrogance, and it was obvious that she did not take the tricks of the three old men seriously.

Queen Medusa did harbor a lingering resentment, frustrated at not being able to completely defeat the enemy in their previous battle. Back then, she had nearly slain the elder who had temporarily reached Dou Zong status through the use of secret techniques. Unfortunately, reinforcements arrived just in time, allowing the three to escape.

Medusa never forgot about the Dou Zong-level bodies that were used to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet. Last time, she failed to take advantage of the opportunity to kill the Dou Zong-level elder when the three Mulan elders performed their secret technique, which made her very unhappy.

The three elders of Mulan did not take Medusa's ridicule seriously. Although they had suffered a loss in front of Medusa before, now the top forces of the Three Kingdoms Alliance were gathered together. They believed that the Gama Empire could not withstand this powerful offensive, so they were not afraid.

"Queen Medusa, your strength is indeed extraordinary, but today's battle is no longer a stage for you alone." One of the three elders of Mulan spoke slowly, with a hint of teasing in his voice, "We have many powerful people in the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and I'm afraid the prestige of your snake people will end here today."

The words of Elder Mulan were still echoing in the air. Suddenly, a hoarse and old voice cut through the noise of the battlefield and reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Haha, why do you guys have to be so long-winded to deal with a mere Gama Empire?" The voice carried a hint of disdain and sarcasm, as if it was despising the power of the entire Gama Empire.

As the voice fell, a figure slowly emerged in the air. It was a white-haired old man with a slightly hunched back.

The old man's appearance was not ostentatious, but it brought with it an indescribable sense of oppression, as if even the air around him became heavy because of his presence.

His cold eyes swept across the battlefield, causing everyone's heart to skip a beat involuntarily.

The old man was wearing plain clothes, his face was full of traces of time, but he had no expression. Although his eyes seemed a little cloudy, deep inside, there was a sharp and cold light hidden, which made people shudder.

In his hand, he held a pitch-black cane with a ferocious scorpion head carved on the top. A faint purple light flickered on the scorpion's forehead, making it look particularly strange.

He just floated quietly in the air, but his aura was completely restrained, without a single leak, giving people the feeling that he was just an ordinary old man.

But with his appearance, the atmosphere of the entire battlefield changed. Everyone's eyes were filled with awe and vigilance. Even strong men like the three elders of Mulan and Yan Luotian could not help but cast solemn glances at him.

When the old man appeared, the originally calm Xiao Yixian's eyes flashed with a sharpness. Since she was promoted to Dou Zong, she has never really competed with a strong man of the same level.

Yao Chen had also reminded her that her cultivation progressed too fast and she needed to hone herself through actual combat in order to better master her newfound strength. Therefore, this time when facing Xie Bi Yan, she took the initiative to volunteer, wanting to take this opportunity to test her own strength.

Xiao Ling also told her that Xie Biyan had a secret method hidden in his body that could temporarily increase his strength to that of a five-star Dou Zong. Facing such an opponent, Xiao Yixian would naturally not take it lightly.

But as the owner of the evil poison body, she has a natural resistance to poisonous fighting spirit. Moreover, with Yao Lao's support, she only needs to go all out and show her true strength.

"Xie Bi Yan!" Jia Xingtian and the others looked sharp and immediately recognized that the person coming was the dreaded leader of the Wanxie Sect.

A trace of fear flashed across Yan Luotian's eyes, but was soon replaced by a smile. He said, "Haha, if we can defeat the enemy without fighting and incorporate the Jia Ma Empire into the territory of our coalition, that would naturally be the best strategy."

"Haha, now that Master Scorpion has arrived on the battlefield, it will be easy for him to deal with these stragglers of the Gama Empire." Among the three elders of Mulan, the one who had just mocked Medusa spoke again, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Master Yan's plan sounds good, but not everyone will buy it." Xie Biyan's voice was slow, but it revealed an unquestionable determination. He narrowed his eyes and continued, "Since I'm here, I will naturally deal with these people from the Jia Ma Empire."

Although his words were neither hurried nor slow, they were like a heavy hammer, and every word was clearly transmitted throughout the battlefield. Everyone present could feel the weight of the old man's words, and his presence seemed to add a bit of oppression to the sky.

Hearing Xie Biyan's words, Jia Xingtian frowned, and an angry look appeared on his face. He remembered that when he fought with Xie Biyan, he had a slight advantage. However, now that both of them have reached the Dou Zong realm, he feels that the gap between his strength and Xie Biyan is getting bigger and bigger.

The opponent who was once weaker than him was now arrogant and domineering in his territory, with an expression that he didn't take them seriously at all. This made the usually calm Jia Xingtian feel unprecedented humiliation and anger, and his face turned red.

Although he was furious, Jia Xingtian still managed to stay calm. As the commander-in-chief of the Jiama Empire, he knew that he could not let his personal emotions affect the morale of the entire army. He could not show weakness in front of the enemy and lose his own momentum.

So, he sneered at Xie Biyan and said, "Humph, Xie Laogui, you are also a well-known figure, but I didn't expect that you are doing this kind of thing now, and joining forces with other countries to bully our Jiama Empire."

Then, he turned to Yan Luotian and Mulan Elders, with obvious sarcasm in his tone: "Sect Master Yan, Mulan Elders, you are really something. Xie Biyan can deal with a lot of us alone, but now he has dragged you into this. I'm afraid he has no good intentions behind this. After all, the conflict between your own country and the Izumo Empire has been going on for a long time."

Xie Biyan listened to Jia Xingtian's words, and a trace of disdain flashed in his old eyes. He naturally saw through Jia Xingtian's intention at a glance, which was nothing more than trying to create a rift between their three-nation alliance and try to weaken their unity.

But Xie Biyan didn't take this trick seriously. In his opinion, the Three Kingdoms Alliance was now in full swing, and it was just around the corner to annex the Jiama Empire. Past grievances seemed insignificant in the face of the huge benefits that were about to come.

So Xie Biyan immediately hit back at Jia Xingtian's words, with obvious sarcasm in his tone: "Jia Xingtian, don't bother to stir up trouble. Elder Xie Yun of our Wanxie Sect has disappeared since he went to the Jia Ma Empire. I'm afraid he has been killed by you. Also, the alchemists from our three countries went to the Jia Ma Empire to participate in the competition, but they disappeared one by one. We haven't settled the accounts yet. We are here today to seek justice for these unfortunate compatriots."

As soon as Xie Biyan finished speaking, he turned to look in the direction of Yan Luotian and the three elders of Mulan, with a sly smile on his face, as if seeking their approval: "Everyone, do you think what I said is right?"

Yan Luotian hesitated for a moment, then nodded in support: "What the Scorpion Sect Master said is reasonable." He gently clenched his palm, and golden light flashed in his palm, gradually condensing into a golden long sword. The sword was covered with sharp spikes similar to goose feathers, emitting a dangerous light.

"Jia Xingtian, do you think this childish trick of sowing discord can work on us? Don't waste time. Today, no matter who comes, they cannot change the fate of the Gama Empire." Yan Luotian's words were full of confidence and threats. His attitude was clear: they were determined to win today's battle.

Chapter 254: Battle

"Hehe, Sect Master Yan, why bother talking so much with these dying people." An elder of Mulan Valley with a black bear tattooed on his robe laughed in a rather sharp voice with a flash of bloodthirsty red light in his fine eyes.

Yan Luotian did not respond to the words of the three elders of Mulan. He just smiled lightly, and a golden sword appeared in his hand. This sword was called Yanling Sword, which was a peerless magic weapon that Yan Luotian had spent a huge price to obtain.

As Yan Luotian continued to inject his fighting spirit into the Yanling Sword, his body trembled slightly. His voice was calm but full of unquestionable determination: "Since you choose to resist to the end, don't blame me for being rude. Next, I will show you how huge the gap is between your Jia Ma Empire and our Three Kingdoms Alliance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Luotian tightly grasped the Yanling Sword, and with a wave of his arm, the tip of the sword cut through the air, releasing a strong fighting spirit. This fighting spirit was as swift as a falcon, rushing straight into the sky. As the distance increased, it expanded rapidly, and in an instant it turned into a huge golden sword shadow of dozens of feet in size, covering the entire battlefield.

The space around the sword shadow seemed to tremble slightly under the impact of this force, as if even the air could not bear this pressure. Yan Luotian's attack was undoubtedly a display of his full strength. The power of his attack was strong enough to shake the heaven and earth.

Faced with his opponent's equally powerful Dou Zong combat capability, he showed no reservations and was ready to go all out, launch a fatal blow, and kick off this general offensive.

When Yan Luotian's sword energy descended like the collapse of heaven and earth, the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces below could not help but burst into cheers. Their eyes were full of enthusiasm and expectation, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

However, at the Black Mountain Fortress, the soldiers of the Jiama Empire felt an unprecedented oppression. They knew that once such a powerful attack landed on the fortress, it would be a disaster. Their hearts were filled with anxiety and fear, and everyone was asking themselves, who could resist such a force?

In this tense atmosphere, Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the Jiama Empire and the apparent ruler here, gritted his teeth, with a gleam of determination in his eyes. He turned to look at Hai Bodong and Yunshan beside him, and said with a hint of determination: "Old friends, it's time for us to continue fighting side by side."

Hearing this, Yunshan and Haibodong nodded without saying anything, their eyes also flashing with determination, expressing their understanding and support for Jia Xingtian's decision. This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice in the past few days, and they are already familiar with the feeling of fighting side by side.

Afterwards, the figures of the three people turned into three streams of light in an instant and leaped into the air above the city wall. They stepped on the void and faced Yan Luotian's attack that was like the collapse of the sky and the split of the earth.

Yunshan's palm drew an elegant arc in the air, and he whispered: "Strong Wind Handprint."

As he finished speaking, a circular magic circle quickly condensed in midair, and cyan runes flowed in the magic circle, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura. Then, a huge cyan handprint emerged from the magic circle, and it whistled with the wind, and attacked the sword energy that Yan Luotian swung out.

At the same time, Hai Bodong shouted: "Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar!" His voice echoed on the battlefield like thunder. As he called, nine ice-blue dragons rose into the air around Hai Bodong. They were huge, their scales flashed with cold light, and their eyes revealed an unyielding fighting spirit.

Under Hai Bodong's command, these giant dragons circled around his body. As he pointed the spear made of ice-attributed fighting spirit in his hand, they let out earth-shaking dragon roars and charged towards Yan Luotian's sword energy.

Jia Xingtian followed closely behind, his voice firm and powerful, and he shouted out his special skill: "Yellow Sand Kills All!" As he called out, the fighting spirit in his body surged out like a flood, and the surrounding space seemed to be shaken. In the sky, countless sands were attracted by this force, and they spun and condensed in the air, and finally formed a huge phoenix shape.

The feathers of this phoenix, which was formed by the condensation of sand, were clearly visible, and each feather was shining with an earthy yellow light. The phoenix flapped its wings and flew high, emitting a long cry that shook the sky. The sound was full of power and majesty. Following Jia Xingtian's guidance, the phoenix rushed straight towards the golden sword energy released by Yan Luotian like an earthy yellow afterimage.

Under the gaze of the crowd, a green wind handprint quickly condensed in the air. Its edge was as sharp as a knife, and it spun with a sharp whistling sound. Then, several blue dragons condensed from black ice appeared. Their scales flashed with cold light, and their dragon whiskers danced, as if they could freeze everything. There was also a yellow sand phoenix, which spread its wings and flew high. The sand and dust it brought up when its wings flapped was like a golden storm.

The three attacks, each with its own characteristics and magical powers, converged in the air to form a spectacular picture. The cyan wind, the azure ice, and the khaki sand, the three colors of power intertwined into a shocking war picture at the moment before the collision.

Their target was a huge golden sword energy, which was like a divine punishment falling from the sky, carrying unparalleled pressure and light, slashing down.

Standing on a high point on the battlefield, Yan Luotian looked down at the joint offensive launched by Jia Xingtian, Yunshan, and Hai Bodong, and a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He commented coldly: "A bunch of rabble dare to be so arrogant in front of me."

Facing the joint challenge of the three, Yan Luotian was very confident. He had experienced similar situations many times before, and each time he was able to fight against the three people alone and gain the upper hand. He firmly believed that this time would be no different.

In the air thousands of meters away from the Black Mountain Fortress, the green gale handprint and the golden sword energy collided first. The moment the two collided, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and the energy waves that erupted were like a tsunami, surging in all directions, making the soldiers in the distance feel a strong sense of oppression. They had to steady their bodies to avoid being affected by the aftermath of this force.

The azure dragons followed closely behind, opening their huge mouths and spewing out icy cold air. The moment the cold dragon breath came into contact with the golden sword energy, ice crystal-like lines appeared in the sky. They spread rapidly, as if to freeze the sword energy in the air. However, the temperature of the golden sword energy was extremely high, and the ice crystals began to melt as soon as they came into contact with it, turning into waves of white mist, shrouding the battlefield in a hazy state.

The Yellow Sand Phoenix was not to be outdone. It let out a clear cry, and its body, made of sand, rushed towards the golden sword energy with a wild force. The collision of sand and golden light produced waves of sandstorms. The golden sand flew in the sky, intertwining with the golden sword energy, forming a spectacular golden storm.

When the three powerful forces gathered together to compete with the golden sword energy, the battle in the sky reached a fever pitch. Under the combined attack of the opponents, the golden sword energy began to sway, and its edges fluctuated, as if it would collapse in the next moment.

However, after a fierce flashing and changes in the brightness of the light, the four forces eventually dissipated and turned into countless tiny energy particles that floated in the air.

The aftermath of the battle reverberated in the air, and the space cracks created by the powerful energy collision began to slowly heal like broken glass. These tiny cracks gradually closed, but their existence was a strong proof of the thrilling duel just now.

On the wall of the Black Mountain Fortress, the soldiers witnessed the thrilling attack and defense. When they saw that the golden sword energy that almost destroyed everything was successfully resisted, they were filled with an irrepressible excitement. The originally heavy atmosphere was swept away, replaced by a new hope and fighting spirit.

The soldiers' eyes were shining with determination, and they began to cheer for Jia Xingtian, Yunshan and Hai Bodong's feat. Their shouts were like a tide, one after another, shaking the entire battlefield.

Yan Luotian's attack was successfully blocked by the opponent, which made him feel that his dignity was challenged. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and it was obvious that he did not intend to give up. Following his will, a pair of golden materialized wings spread out behind him, shining brightly in the sun.

At the edges of these wings, goose feathers as sharp as swords stretched out, each of which exuded a sharp sword intent, as if it could cut the air at any time. Yan Luotian's voice was low and powerful, and he shouted softly: "Sword Feathers!"

Following his call, countless feather-shaped sword qi shot out from the golden wings. They quickly condensed in the air and hovered on both sides of Yan Luotian, forming a pair of huge golden sword qi wings. Each "feather" of this pair of wings was made of pure sword qi. They were extremely sharp, emitting a sharp edge that people dared not look directly at.

Yan Luotian's figure was extremely dazzling in the bright light, just like the sun was close at hand, emitting an intimidating edge. He stood in the center of the light, like a god descending from heaven, majestic and inviolable.

The golden light reflected on his face, adding a touch of sacred majesty to his already handsome features. He gently swung the Yanling sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword finally pointed at Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and Yunshan.

"You three, get ready to take it!" Yan Luotian's voice was firm and powerful.

As he spoke, the huge golden sword wings behind him trembled slightly, and then slowly closed in front of him, like a giant sword about to be unsheathed. Then, the pair of sword wings suddenly spread out, releasing countless sharp sword energy, sweeping out like a golden storm.

These sword energies cut through the sky. They were extremely sharp and easily left light black tracks in the air, as if the sky was cut apart by these sword energies.

In the formation of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, whether it was the elites of the Luoyan Empire, the strong men of the other two empires, and those ordinary soldiers, they all couldn't help but cheer, their faces filled with excitement and excitement.

They witnessed Yan Luotian's dazzling fighting skills. The sword energy released by the golden sword wings was like a magnificent meteor shower, cutting through the sky with unparalleled power and a dangerous aura.

Such power and such a scene filled them with awe. They looked at each other, with a common thought in their minds: facing such a powerful attack, Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian and Yunshan would probably not be able to escape.

Facing the golden sword energy released by Yan Luotian, Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong and Yunshan did not flinch. They quickly exchanged a firm look, and then each displayed their own unique skills, ready to meet this wave of fierce attacks.

Around them, energy fluctuated violently, and the fighting spirits of the three people collided with the golden sword energy, making a series of explosions. Their movements were smooth and decisive, and every swing brought great power, repelling the incoming sword energy one by one.

Immediately, the three figures rushed towards Yan Luotian like an arrow, determined to confront him head-on.

As they approached, Yan Luotian's face became serious. Although he knew that he had an advantage in cultivation, facing the combined forces of Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong and Yunshan, any underestimation of the enemy could lead to failure.
