After a few moments, Juewushen casually threw the letter on the desk.
"What a Tianxia Hui! I want to see if it's my Jin Tang Iron City that's strong, or if it's your army that's difficult to resist!"
Juewushen straightened his clothes, his expression gloomy and contemptuous as he let out a short, scoffing laugh.
The flag fluttered wildly, smoke rolled and an army of tens of thousands of people approached the imperial city with a fierce momentum.
The soldiers on the towers of the imperial city had also prepared for defense early on, with bows and crossbows in place and the heads of spears and swords shining in the sunlight as they threatened the approaching army.
The members of the Tianxia Hui arrived at the gates of the city, several hundred feet away. Suddenly, they stopped and formed a formation. On the central chariot sat a figure in a black robe, with Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng and Wuming, Jianchen riding on horseback on either side, protected by guards.
"Grrr!"
With a long and heavy sound, the gates of the imperial city were opened, and soldiers with knives, spears, shields and armor flowed out to both sides and only after several tens of breaths, thousand ghostly demons, all dressed in black armor and with fierce ghost-like mask arrive exuding a dark and ferocious aura. Finally, a black dragon sedan was carried out, the inside of which was obscured by a veil of gauze, making it impossible to see what was inside.
There were no shouted insults or battle cries, only an oppressive silence that instilled fear. The two armies faced off, the air thick with the desire to kill, as if the next moment would be a scene of death and carnage.
"Kill!"
Li Xiu gestured with his hand, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, who understood, shouted, the attack began!
The vast crowd of the Tianxia Hui shouted and charged towards the soldiers of the imperial city.
General Wang Shou had already been told by Juewushen that defense was the key, so he didn't need any instructions from the people at black dragon sedan. He pulled out his sword and shouted orders to his soldiers: "Defend!"
Hearing the order, the thousands of soldiers in the front line immediately stood up their shields, slightly bent their bodies, and looked at the rushing tide of people with rapidly increasing breathing. They were excited and thrilled, but also nervous and scared. Then they slowly pointed their long spears from their shields, forming a thorny spear forest that protected the other soldiers behind them!
The members of the Tianxia Hui were like a raging tide hitting a dam, constantly attacking the military formation. As the number of fallen bodies on both sides increases, the war for the supreme position in this land officially begins.
Bu Jingyun's palm strikes out like a cloud, the movement was smooth and continuous like a river, wherever it passed, several bodies would fall!
Nie Feng turned his body to kick out the wind-god legs, like a gust of wind passing by, normal soldiers couldn't get close to him and were killed by the overwhelming force.
The two of them were like two sharp iron cones, piercing through the formation and heading straight for the black dragon sedan!
In the world of martial arts, the exchange of soldiers between the two sides is important, but often the experts are the key to determining the outcome of the battle.
Tens of thousands of people may sound like a lot, but on a narrow and thin path, only a few thousand can stand. By breaking through this path, capturing the king and gaining a major advantage, even ending the war, is what Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng had in mind. In the past, this method was always successful when attacking cities and fortresses.
Li Xiu's gaze was like a knife as he looked over the thousands of troops towards the black dragon sedan that was protected by thousands of ghostly demons soldiers. He narrowed his eyes and turned to Wuming beside him.
"Wuming, it was you who begged the leader of the Tianxia Hui to send troops to defeat Juewushen. Now, our Tianxia Hui is fighting fiercely in front, but you are here, unmoving like a mountain. Is this appropriate?"
Li Xiu's words were mixed with threats, causing Wuming's face to change.
Wuming felt extremely frustrated. He had indeed hoped that the Tianxia Hui would send troops, but what he had hoped for was that the Tianxia Hui would send troops to help the Emperor, but now Li Xiu's attitude clearly indicated that he wanted to send troops to compete with Juewushen for the world. If he helped out, wouldn't he be helping to overthrow the imperial family?
In the end, Wuming looked at Jianchen and sighed, deeply feeling that his journey to the Tianshan Mountains a short time ago was a complete mistake.
He had no choice but to jump off his horse, holding the Hero sword hanging on Jianchen's horse saddle, it instantly bursted with a sword roar and flew straight into his hands.
Wuming looked at the hero sword in his hand, couldn't help but sigh. When he retired from the martial arts world before, he had slaughtered eight major martial arts sects, causing the martial arts world to decline and weaken. Now that he has returned to the martial arts world and picked up the hero sword, his first thing to do is still to kill living beings, it is truly a cruel fate.
War is brutal, once you pick up a weapon, you must be prepared for a life of slaughter. It seems that even he, the "Nameless Sword of the Heaven", cannot avoid it.
After a brief sigh, Wuming held his sword and looked towards the battlefield again. In an instant, his momentum rose, making people feel as if a sharp and fierce sword was slowly unsheathed, revealing a sharp edge that was too dazzling to look at directly, and a sword aura that was frightening enough to reach the clouds!
With a step underfoot, he flew over a hundred feet, landing in the midst of the enemy's formation. He swung his arm and a bright sword light swept through, creating dozens of corpses. Then, he calmly walked forward, away from the bloody smell behind him.
Swords, armor and flesh and blood seemed to be easily scattered, like gentle and turbid qi that can be casually dispersed.
The extremely dangerous sword lights and sword roars were spreading everywhere, everything was instantly split in half, it was a completely one-sided slaughter!
At this time, Wuming's gentleness had completely disappeared, there was no longer any hint of being in line with the name of Sword of the Heaven, instead, it was like a bloodthirsty sword that loved to harvest lives!
Trudging a path of blood, in just a few dozen breaths, Wuming had surpassed Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng and killed his way into the territory of the thousands of ghostly demons. At this point, Wuming's advancement speed also began to decrease significantly.
These thousands of ghostly demons were the foundation of the Juewushen's livelihood. He relied on these people to divide the East Asian emperor and every ghostly demon in the martial arts world was a skilled fighter. It was impossible for Wuming to kill them as easily as he did before. However, the gap in strength was too large, and it was impossible for the ghostly demons to stop Wuming's steps.
As the sword roars became clearer, and knowing that Wuming was getting closer, Juexin's face in the black dragon sedan showed a look of resentment. Sweat appeared on his forehead and finally, he made a decision.
He disregarded everything and lifted the veil, jumped out of the sedan without looking back at the direction of the imperial city, and ran towards the deep forest on the side of the imperial city.
Juewushen wants to have a strong leader to command the army, but he fears that a powerful master from central plains may appear and kill him. So he lets his own son, Juexin, take his place, while he himself hides in the city tower to observe the situation.
Juexin has completely lost faith in Juewushen and he thinks that if he were to sacrifice his life for Juewushen once, he might have to do it again. Besides, the situation doesn't look good for Juewushen and everything except his life is fake, which is what Juewushen just taught him.
On the battlefield, Li Xiu had been paying attention to the black dragon sedan. His sharp eyes allowed him to see that the person who came out of the sedan was not Juewushen. He was not surprised, and his body flew out, creating a wave of air and flying towards Juexin.
