The seven thousand soldiers in white robes charged forward with an unstoppable momentum, their invincible military spirit taking shape. Wherever they went, people fell and horses stumbled, and dust filled the air.
The sudden rise of the white-robed army was particularly eye-catching among the million-strong army of the Black Dragon Kingdom, causing much discussion among the soldiers stationed at the Yuguang City on the cliff.
"What kind of army is that?"
"Reinforcements?"
"Reinforcements my foot! The only alliance, the Canglan Kingdom, has already been captured by His Highness the King of Yue. Where would we get reinforcements from?"
"Quite impressive. Only a few thousand men dare to charge into a million-strong army. That's truly courageous!"
"Don't let your guard down. The enemy below is about to climb up!"
The archers continued to shoot arrows, while the other soldiers used various spells. Unfortunately, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Kingdom, clad in black armor, had strong defense, and they managed to withstand the attacks and climb up the walls.
At this rate, the enemy would climb up the walls in less than half a minute.
In the sky, Bao Zhendan had already transformed into a half-beastly form, with a burly figure and armor that seemed unable to contain his mane, which seemed on the verge of bursting. His face was covered in fur, his eyes had turned a deep green, and he exuded a terrifying aura, several times stronger than before.
Bao Zhendan and Guan Yu also noticed the appearance of the white-robed army, which was why they did not immediately engage.
"Hmm, I didn't expect you to seek reinforcements. But they are all at the Foundation Establishment stage. Do you really think a few thousand men can rampage through my million-strong army?" Bao Zhendan smirked, full of mockery.
Guan Yu was also curious about the origin of the white-robed army, but he did not believe that the white-robed army could come to the aid of Yuguang City.
Facing a million Qi Refining stage cultivators, a few thousand Foundation Establishment stage soldiers were definitely on a path to death!
The gap between the Foundation Establishment stage and the Qi Refining stage could not be easily compensated for by numbers.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the white-robed army, which could rampage even through a more dangerous beast tide than this million-strong army!
"Invincible in battle! Unstoppable!"
On the central war chariot of the white-robed army, Chen Qingzhi raised his long sword and shouted, full of emotional appeal, causing the soldiers of the white-robed army to be filled with excitement, shouting along with him, their blood boiling.
The momentum exuded by the seven thousand soldiers shook the entire battlefield, even causing the soldiers still on the cliff to instinctively turn around. The invincible military spirit of the white-robed army became even more solid, like a shark's fin gliding across the sea, knocking down the soldiers of the Black Dragon Kingdom, their screams and battle cries mingling and stirring up the winds and clouds.
"So powerful..."
Guan Yu's pupils contracted as he murmured to himself, clearly never having seen a substantial military spirit before.
Bao Zhendan was also amazed by the performance of the white-robed army. With a face full of killing intent and malice, he immediately rushed towards the white-robed army, intending to annihilate this unexpected force.
Guan Yu quickly wielded his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and followed suit. It was obvious that the white-robed army had come to help him, so he could not just stand by.
At this moment, Bao Zhendan's strength had doubled. Although his body was more robust, his speed had also increased. The distance of just a few kilometers made it impossible for Guan Yu to catch up.
"A bunch of rabble dares to oppose my Black Dragon Kingdom!"
Bao Zhendan sneered, the fierce wind tugging at his mane, revealing his ferocious face clearly.
Chen Qingzhi remained unfazed. Even the Illusionary Realm Demon King could not shatter their invincible military spirit with a single blow, let alone Bao Zhendan, who still had a considerable gap to bridge before reaching the peak of the Illusionary Realm.
The white-robed army continued to bravely fight the enemy, ignoring the descending Bao Zhendan.
Boom!
Bao Zhendan's blade struck the invincible military spirit enveloping the white-robed army, and in an instant, the impact caused a violent gust of wind, sending all the surrounding soldiers of the Black Dragon Kingdom flying, creating a chaotic scene.
Immediately after, Bao Zhendan's face changed dramatically, and the next moment, he was sent flying by the invincible military spirit.
Watching this scene, Guan Yu's eyes widened. Where did this army come from?
To think that only a few thousand Foundation Establishment stage soldiers could repel a peak Illusionary Realm expert was simply unbelievable!
"Could it be sent by His Highness?"
Guan Yu subconsciously thought, but this thought was quickly dismissed from his mind. This army was obviously an elite force, not something that could be trained in just a few months.
What he didn't know was that the white-robed army was indeed sent by Qin Jun.
...
On the endless wilderness, the Dragon Rise Legion advanced rapidly, causing the earth to tremble wherever they went.
On the command vehicle, Qin Jun, bored, suddenly asked Tai Bai Jin Xing, "By the way, doesn't the Kingdom of Wangguo need divine beasts for promotion to the Imperial Dynasty? What about the Howling Celestial Hound, Daji, or Xiao Li? Are they suitable?"
At these words, the Howling Celestial Hound and Daji twitched their mouths, while Xiao Li widened her eyes, looking adorable and bewildered.
The others were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Tai Bai Jin Xing shook his head and laughed, "Your Highness, not just anyone can become a divine beast. Only the demonic beasts that have been baptized by the fortune of heaven and earth can qualify. The Howling Celestial Hound and Daji are only Demon Kings, and although Xiao Li is a member of the Dragon race, there are very few Dragon races in this world that have been baptized by the fortune of heaven and earth, not to mention that Xiao Li is still underage."
Qin Jun suddenly realized that he had been thinking too much.
Although the Howling Celestial Hound was called a divine beast in Journey to the West, it was not recognized in this world, and as for Daji, it was even more absurd, just a fox spirit.
"Recently, there have been rumors circulating about the whereabouts of divine beasts in the Black Dragon Kingdom," Jia Xun said hesitantly, immediately attracting Qin Jun's attention.
The Black Dragon Kingdom?
Qin Jun couldn't help but stroke his chin. The Black Dragon Kingdom dared to go to war with the Kingdom of Qianyue, and in his eyes, it was already prey.
Soon, a brilliant idea suddenly came to Qin Jun's mind, causing his eyes to light up.
"Let's split our forces. I'll take some people to the Black Dragon Kingdom, and the rest of you will lead the legion to the Kingdom of Qianyue."
Qin Jun smiled and proposed, causing everyone to be greatly surprised.
Jia Xun quickly advised, "That's just a rumor, Your Highness, you can't take it seriously!"
"No matter, I'll just casually kill the Emperor of the Black Dragon Kingdom, and then they will naturally retreat," Qin Jun laughed.
"Now, go and kill the Emperor of the Black Dragon Kingdom. When he returns to the throne, the Black Dragon Kingdom will surely elect a new Emperor, and then kill him.
Equivalent to completing two percent of the Emperor-slaying mission!
What a brilliant idea!
Qin Jun couldn't help but praise himself. The reason he didn't send Red Boy and the others alone is that if he doesn't kill personally, the mission won't be considered complete.
"This..." Jia Xun was also shocked by Qin Jun's twisted idea.
It has to be said, this is quite a clever strategy.
The Black Dragon Kingdom is different from the Canglan Kingdom. If Qin Jun leads the Dragon Army to directly wage war against the Black Dragon Kingdom, the Qianyue Kingdom may not be able to withstand it and will be the first to fall.
"Alright, it's decided!"
Qin Jun stood up and smiled, looking at everyone, thinking about who to bring.
Red Boy and Sha Wujing must be brought along for a sense of security.
And the battlefield of the Qianyue Kingdom also needs experts to turn the tide.
"Taibai, Yuanba, stay with me to stabilize the crisis in the Qianyue Kingdom. The rest of you follow His Highness, how about that?" Taibai Jinxing stroked his beard and smiled.
Li Yuanba immediately disagreed, but Qin Jun also felt that he was suitable for the battlefield, so he could only persuade him to stay.
In the end, Qin Jun set off for the Black Dragon Kingdom with Red Boy, Sha Wujing, the Roaring Celestial Hound, Daji, and Little Li, while the others continued to rush to the Qianyue Kingdom with the Dragon Army.
