Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Late at night, Jun Wuxie used the Minor Void Technique to cross the canyon and arrived at the border buffer zone between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Wu'an Dynasty.

This place belongs to the public territory and is not under anyone's jurisdiction.

This area spans hundreds of miles, with only a few insignificant mountains and some small hills, the rest being an endless plain.

From high in the sky, one could clearly see the sprawling military camps within the Wu'an border, brightly lit with lamps.

A large number of Rune-Armored soldiers marched out of the camps in a mighty formation, forming an endless dragon under the dim moonlight of the night.

The sound of the Wu'an Rune-Armored soldiers' footsteps and the clashing of their armor as they ran quickly traveled far in the night sky.

The army's formation was very long, extending all the way into the canyon.

"The entire Wu'an army has been mobilized, it seems they are determined to win this time."

Jun Wuxie hid in the high sky, quietly overlooking the ground, watching the dragon-like formation.

Almost all of the Wu'an army had left the military camps, heading towards the battlefield outside the border city, leaving only a very small number behind.

Out of the forty million troops, those left behind in the military camps were all logistics personnel, with all combat soldiers mobilized.

He noticed that there were dozens of Overlord Saint Realm Middle Heaven Stage experts in the Wu'an army, more than the total number of experts from the Taiyi Sect, Xuanbing Sect, and Blood Fiend Sect that he had killed.

As for the strength of those Overlord Saints, it was about the same as those he had killed.

After all, the six top sects in Hanzhou had similar overall strengths.

If one had to say who had an advantage among these top sects, it would be that each had its own advantages.

For example, the Seven Killings Tower sect cultivates a special technique, specializing in stealth, concealment, and assassination, which other sects cannot match, posing a great threat to them.

Another example is the Myriad Poisons Sect, which specializes in poison, using it silently and imperceptibly, making it difficult to guard against, which other sects cannot compare to.

The Xuanbing Sect, Blood Fiend Sect, Soul Severing Sect, and Taiyi Sect also have their own specialties.

These specialties made them wary of each other, so for so many years, although there was intense competition, they always maintained a bottom line, avoiding large-scale conflicts and killings.

Now, in this border city, both sides have come because they want to obtain something.

They are trying to maintain their tacit understanding and bottom line, and to avoid direct fighting, they have chosen a proxy war.

The Seven Killings Tower and the other two sects chose Wu'an, while the Taiyi Sect and the other two sects chose Great Qian.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.

Wu'an and Great Qian are both victims of the struggle between the six top sects in Hanzhou.

Jun Wuxie sighed inwardly, the weak have no ability to resist in such situations.

If he were not in Qingzhou, Qingzhou would surely be devastated, and both Wu'an and Great Qian would suffer heavy casualties, especially the defeated side, which would be devastated.

Because, in the eyes of the top sects in Hanzhou, the lives of the people of Qingzhou are nothing more than ants.

What they care about is the treasure hidden within the Great Qian territory, and they will resort to any means to achieve their goal.

The canyon leading to the border city battlefield is very long, several hundred miles.

Only a small part of it is relatively narrow, and the rest is very wide, with the wide part being right on the buffer zone side.

The Wu'an Rune-Armored army marched mightily into the canyon.

It was not until dawn that the rear of the Wu'an army entered the canyon.

Jun Wuxie overlooked from the high sky, taking in all the situations.

The Wu'an army's advance speed was very fast, covering a distance of nearly a thousand miles in just one night.

Now, a densely packed army has entered the battlefield outside the city, arranged in battle formations, with all kinds of siege equipment and heavy weapons pushed to the front.

With so many troops and so much equipment, it was quite impressive to advance into the battlefield in an orderly manner overnight without using warships.

Jun Wuxie arrived near the entrance of the canyon, where there were several hills that were easy to hide in.

He opened the Eight-Nine Mysterious Palace and left half of the troops under the hills on each side of the canyon.

He made a gesture of silence, signaling the soldiers to remain silent, not to make any movements, and to wait quietly in ambush.

Then he summoned the Bloodmane Lion-Dog Beast King and released his Primordial Incarnation.

"You wait here for the signal. When you see a rune signal in the sky above the border city, immediately launch an attack. According to the terrain here, you must quickly seize the wide area inside the canyon, so that you can use superior forces to meet the Wu'an army's charge and always maintain a numerical advantage!"

Jun Wuxie opened the map and said to the generals.

Although he knew that these generals were not so incapable as to not see these things, he deliberately reminded them, urging them to block Wu'an in that narrow canyon.

In that case, it would be basically impossible for the Wu'an army to break out.

Unless they can kill his incarnation and the Bloodmane Lion-Dog Beast King, and then forcibly open a path with the powerful Overlord Saint experts, otherwise they can only be trapped inside to die.

"Lord Jun, rest assured, your subordinates will not fail!"

The high-ranking generals in command were very excited. If this battle is won, the significance will be extraordinary. Not only will the Wu'an Dynasty lose its ability to fight, but it will also kill dozens of Overlord Saint experts from the three sects of Hanzhou, which will become a shocking achievement on the battlefield in the history of the Great Qian army!

The current Great Qian is far from what it used to be.

The current Great Qian is not afraid of the top forces in Hanzhou, even if they join forces.

The generals and soldiers all have a kind of trust in Jun Wuxie for no reason.

They only feel that as long as Lord Jun makes a decision, it will not be wrong, he must have considered the consequences, and he has the confidence to deal with it.

If you have to ask why?

Because in their hearts, he is like a god, a living legend.

"Blood Wasteland, you must ensure that the Overlord Saint Realm experts do not launch an attack on the Rune-Armored army!"

Jun Wuxie instructed the Bloodmane Lion-Dog Beast King and his incarnation.

After saying that, his body disappeared on the spot.

Soon, he returned to the city.

The east turned fish-belly white, and the first ray of sunlight shone through the clouds, dispelling the last haze of the night.

The atmosphere in the city was very solemn. In the major military camps, the armies were already prepared, each lined up in different battle formations, ready to go.

On the city wall, the number of guards was several times more than yesterday, and all the armor-piercing rune crossbows were loaded, the cold arrows gleaming with metallic luster.

Between the armor-piercing crossbows were thick rune shields, like steel city walls, connected in a row, erected on the city wall. Spears projected sharp spear tips from the gaps in the shield wall.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

......

On the battlefield outside the city, the Wu'an Rune-Armored army began to advance, the neat footsteps shaking the ground, and the yellow sand rolled up, forming a violent sandstorm!

"Ha!"

A general in front of the Wu'an army let out a long howl.

Suddenly, the several Rune-Armored army phalanxes that formed the steel torrent stopped.

Two ancient beasts pulled a black iron chariot from behind the army, running in the gaps between the phalanxes.

Arriving in the middle of the phalanx, the two ancient beasts stopped and let out fierce roars.

A middle-aged man with thick whiskers and a rugged face sat on top.

"Listen up, you in the city, this king is the Right Wise King of the Wu'an Dynasty, Ashina Gebu! You have reached the end of your rope! Now that the two countries are at war, it is not only a matter of the strength of the Rune-Armored army, but also the ability of the strong in the army. Obviously, your strongmen suffered serious damage yesterday, their strength has declined, and it will be difficult to recover for a period of time. Today, my Wu'an army is pressing down on the border, if you resist stubbornly, once the city is broken, you will not escape the consequences of the massacre; if you lay down your weapons, take off your rune armor, and open the city to respectfully welcome the royal army, you can avoid death!"

Ashina Gebu's voice was very loud, like thunder.

His own realm is not low, the cultivation base of the Half-Step Overlord Saint Realm.

In the past, that would have been the top expert in Qingzhou.

But in the current situation with the arrival of the Hanzhou strongmen, his realm seems dim.

However, his identity is very impressive, not only the Right Wise King, the biological brother of Ashina Khan, but also the commander of the three armies this time.

He is very clear that even if the strong on his side have a comprehensive advantage over the strong in the city, once the siege begins, the casualties will be great.

No matter what, there are about 20 million defenders in the city, which is a very terrifying number for defending a city.

If he can disintegrate their morale, subdue the enemy's army without fighting, and seize the city, that would be the most perfect outcome.

It's not impossible. The situation in the border city now is exactly what he said. Presumably all the soldiers in the border city are very clear about this, and the people in the city are also clear.

Could it be that so many soldiers and civilians are all following that Jun to seek death?

How can there be such unity, so unafraid of death!

"Hahaha!" On the city wall, the commander of an army laughed three times and said: "Wu'an Right Wise King, every marshal you send to lead the army has died on the battlefield, including your prince Ashina Zan. Isn't this bloody fact enough to wake you up? You still dare to run outside the city and spout wild words. Who will spare whom?"

"You still want to break the city? If you have the ability, attack in, if you don't, don't blather. You want us to take off our rune armor and hand over the city to you with just a few words. I want to ask, is your brain pinched by the door?"

"You don't have the power to make decisions, let the person who can make the decisions come out!"

Ashina Gebu was not angry.

"Want to see me?"

Jun Wuxie stepped into the air from the mountains and landed on the city wall, overlooking Ashina Gebu on the battlefield, and said: "Right Wise King, I will give you a chance now, surrender immediately, and then go back and tell your Khan to incorporate Wu'an into my Great Qian territory, disband the royal family, and perhaps he can save his life."

"What did you say?"

Ashina Gebu's face was full of shock and anger, he couldn't believe his ears.

That Jun Wuxie actually wants to annex Wu'an, does he intend to unify Qingzhou?

Such words seemed extremely arrogant to him!

Inside the city, the soldiers and generals, upon hearing Jun Wuxie's words, were initially stunned, but excitement soon surged onto their faces.

Who said that the Wu'an Dynasty is the only one allowed to invade Da Qian!

If what Lord Jun says is true, and we march north in the future, invading the Wu'an Dynasty and directly assaulting their imperial city, that would be truly satisfying.

They have repeatedly invaded our border cities; we should invade theirs in return to feel appeased!

"I have already made myself very clear. If you cannot do it, then stop your incessant babbling. I have no interest in wasting words with you!"

"Very well, Jun Wuxie, you are arrogant enough!"

Ashina Gebu revealed a cold smile, then issued an order: "Generals of the three armies, listen to my command, direct the army, and begin the siege!"

Rumble!

The Wu'an army began to move, its momentum astonishing.

"Ooh—"

On the walls of the border city, the majestic and desolate war horns were blown.

"Boy named Jun, yesterday you suffered a severe backlash, do you think we don't know? Even if you forcibly restore your appearance to a youthful state, you cannot hide the weakness and fatigue in your eyes! Since you refuse to surrender, today we will personally suppress and kill you, this amazing talent!"

Six experts from Wu'an stepped forward, powerful Heavenly Basi saints from the three sects of Hanzhou.

Their eyes revealed a cold and intense killing intent as they stepped into the air, approaching the city.

On the ground, the Wu'an Rune-Armored Army launched a charge, their speed extremely fast, like a rapidly moving torrent sweeping across the earth, rushing to the city walls in an instant. Under the suppression of the anti-air runes near the city walls, they began to climb the walls, while others directly charged the city gates.

On the battlefield, the seemingly endless city walls witnessed a magnificent siege and defense battle, a vast and brutal scene.

Jun Wuxie walked out of the city, stepped into the air, and faced the six Heavenly Basi realm experts.

The two sides collided in an instant.

Hiss!

Deafening roars echoed across the battlefield.

Dugu Ruyan appeared, stepping on a massive Eight-Headed Serpent, to intercept a Heavenly Basi realm expert charging towards the city.

Several intense and fierce rays of killing intent pierced through the air.

Zhao Wenting, Jian Chen, and Jian Xu arrived, their sword light sweeping across the sky, forcing back some of the Heavenly Basi realm experts charging towards the city.

Di Hui arrived, and a secret technique flower suddenly appeared in the sky above the battlefield, instantly blooming, gushing out terrifying killing intent, tearing several black lines in the void, also forcing back an expert.

However, there were too many experts from the three sects, and many had not yet been intercepted and were about to bombard the city, disintegrating the rune defense formation of the city.

A miserable scream echoed across the entire battlefield, drowning out the sounds of the million Rune-Armored Army soldiers fighting, making it particularly distinct.

Everyone engaged in fierce battle in the sky looked towards the direction of the sound.

They saw that in the battlefield surrounding Jun Wuxie, Chaotic Golden Blood Qi surged, and the six people and Jun Wuxie had a fierce collision.

As a result, all six people flew backward, spurting blood wildly, their bodies almost disintegrated. One of them had his entire chest pierced through, his heart gone, leaving a bloody hole.

The miserable scream was made by the person who lost his heart.

"Quick, support them, besiege that kid!"

The remaining experts were shocked by this scene.

This person suffered severe consumption yesterday and was in bad shape. It was impossible for him to recover overnight.

Right now, he must be forcibly displaying his peak strength at any cost, but how long can this state be maintained?

If six people are not enough, then sixteen, we can exhaust him to death!

They moved extremely fast, streaks of light streaking across the sky, joining the battlefield surrounding Jun Wuxie.

More than a dozen experts, each carefully controlling their attack range, gathering energy as much as possible to achieve the strongest attack effect.

They discovered that this opponent was much stronger than they had imagined. If the attack area was too large and they could not concentrate their power, it would be difficult to put enough pressure on him.

"Kid, you are destined to die today! What amazing talent, once you die, everything will be fleeting!"

An expert from the Myriad Poison Sect sneered. His palm prints were dark green every time he attacked, corroding the space with a sizzling sound, extremely poisonous.

The experts from Seven Killings Tower constantly alternated invisibility, launching assassination attacks on him.

"Qingzhou is just a place for ants to eke out a living for us. What do you have to fight against our top sects in Hanzhou? You overestimate yourself!"

Their attacks became more and more fierce, but they found that the opponent, who had been dodging before, had now stopped even dodging. Just as they were wondering, they saw the swastika symbols suddenly appearing around Jun Wuxie's body.

As soon as their attacks reached the area of the swastika symbols, golden bells immediately appeared, and with a dong sound, they blocked all their attacks, and all the secret technique laws were annihilated.

"This... how is this possible!"

The faces of the three sect experts changed drastically, completely unable to believe their eyes.

A cultivator in the Great Saint Realm, not dodging or avoiding, hard resisting their attacks, and their secret techniques actually failed to penetrate the target's defense!

This matter made them feel both absurd and ridiculous, and difficult to accept!

"The hunting season officially begins."

Jun Wuxie did not dodge or avoid, with the [Indestructible Divine Skill] on his body, allowing the besieging experts to launch attacks, he pointed his finger towards the sky.

A rune soared into the sky, and when it was almost near the clouds, the rune bloomed with brilliant light.

This was a signal, a signal to the Rune-Armored Army lurking on both sides of the entrance opposite the canyon!
