Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The cavalry commander returned to the front of the army, his gaze fixed coldly on the youth at the mouth of the canyon. He slowly raised the war spear in his hand and pointed it forward: "First Thousand Cavalry Squad, charge!"

Hiss!

The Holy Spirit Steeds neighed, their front hooves pawing the air, before they suddenly burst forward from a standstill, covering hundreds of meters in an instant, their kinetic energy astonishing.

Rumble!

Warhorses galloped, their four hooves pounding the ground, sending mud flying and dust soaring into the sky. The entire narrow canyon vibrated, and the mountains on both sides trembled.

"Wululu—"

The Wu'an cavalrymen roared excitedly, raising their arms, the war spears glinting coldly in the sunlight, runes glowing on their runic armor and spears.

A wild, murderous aura swept over them like a hurricane.

Their speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, they rushed to within a hundred meters of Jun Wuxie.

At this moment, the flanks of the thousand-strong cavalry rapidly outflanked him from the left and right, intending to encircle Jun Wuxie, while the main force charged straight ahead, thrusting their war spears forward.

Warhorses neighed, the spear points blazed, and a cold light flashed.

Jun Wuxie's eyes turned cold, and his figure exploded with power, a vast, crimson blood energy instantly spreading out.

In that instant, within a radius of several hundred meters, everywhere was his shadow.

Except for the high-ranking generals, no one could see his movements clearly. They only saw his figure flashing, as if hundreds of people were charging towards the cavalry at the same time.

The roar of battle echoed through the canyon, crimson blood energy surged, and energy radiated out like a tidal wave.

The war spears thrust out by the cavalry clanged loudly. Some were knocked away, others were shaken loose and flew into the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon, deeply embedded in the ground.

Ah!

A scream rang out as warhorses and men flew out simultaneously, crashing heavily to the ground.

The warhorses scrambled to their feet, panicking and running amok, but the cavalrymen struggled several times without being able to get up.

Their bodies, encased in runic armor, had fresh red blood flowing from the gaps in the armor, staining a large area of the ground red.

The runic armor was intact, but the people inside had suffered fatal injuries.

This scene caused the Wu'an cavalry and the cavalry commander's pupils to contract, and they were all shocked.

That youth was only in the initial stage of the Holy King Realm, how could he possess such a perverted attack power?

These runic armored cavalrymen were all elites among elites, each of them at the Half-Step Holy King Realm. Wearing runic armor, their individual combat abilities were extremely strong, let alone group charges.

Such a thousand-strong cavalry could instantly kill even a Half-Step Great Saint! Unless the opponent ran away, they simply couldn't withstand it.

The defense of high-level runic armor was very strong. Before the energy of the runic armor was exhausted, even ordinary Great Saint Realm experts would need to concentrate their power to cause fatal damage. If they dispersed their power for a wide-range attack, they simply couldn't break through the defense.

This was the power of the runic armor army. As long as they surrounded someone, even a strong person would have their true energy exhausted and die!

But now, a person in the initial stage of the Holy King Realm could actually kill runic armored cavalry like this.

He strode like a dragon and walked like a tiger, runes blooming under his feet, creating countless afterimages. He moved through the thousand-strong cavalry, killing with one punch each, sending the cavalrymen flying.

All the cavalrymen directly hit by him could no longer get up after flying out, while those blasted away by the aftershock still had the strength to fight, but bloodstains also trickled from the corners of their mouths.

The border army soldiers behind him were filled with excitement. Young Master Yue was too fierce!

To fight against Wu'an's elite cavalry like this, probably only a high-ranking general at the peak of the Great Saint Realm could do it. Below this realm, using such an attack intensity to kill in one strike would consume true energy very seriously, which was very fatal in a large-scale battlefield.

Rumble!

Hiss!

The Wu'an cavalrymen quickly revolved around Jun Wuxie, the warhorses under their crotches neighing. They continuously searched for opportunities to thrust out their war spears in high-speed motion, attempting to inflict heavy blows on the target.

But they found that the target's speed was too fast. His footsteps created afterimages, making it difficult to hit him. Occasionally, when they did hit him, they heard a metallic tremor, as the attack was blocked by the crimson blood energy sphere propped up on his body surface. The spear points were difficult to penetrate and were worn away.

It should have been a scene of wolves hunting their prey, but it turned into a fierce tiger slaughtering a flock of sheep.

Jun Wuxie moved with滔天 crimson blood energy, his fists overturning the universe and penetrating the desolate lands. Every punch he threw out, condensing the fist force evolved from a special martial intent, would penetrate the Wu'an elite cavalry's runic armor. The power worn away by the runic armor was only a small part, the vast majority of it poured into their bodies, shattering all their internal organs. Even their physical bodies were covered in cracks. If it weren't for the runic armor holding their bodies together, it was estimated that their physical bodies would have exploded.

Screams, warhorse neighs, rose and fell one after another. All that could be seen was cavalrymen and warhorses constantly flying high and falling into the distance.

This scene made the Wu'an cavalry commander's face turn ashen, and the fingers holding the war spear constantly tightened, his knuckles turning white.

In just a short quarter of an hour, the battle at the mouth of the canyon ceased, becoming quiet.

At the mouth of that canyon, it was a mess, with cavalry corpses lying scattered all over the ground, slumped on the ground, fresh blood constantly oozing from the gaps in the runic armor, staining the soil red.

Whether it was the Da Gan border army or the Wu'an cavalry, they were all surprisingly quiet at this time. Everyone's eyes were focused on the mouth of the canyon, where corpses lay everywhere, and blood dripped.

It only took a short quarter of an hour!

That youth actually broke and killed a thousand elite armored cavalry with his bare hands in a quarter of an hour!

A Holy King Realm breaking through a thousand elite armored cavalry, this was simply heaven-defying!

Back then, Fan Xi had torn ten thousand armor with his bare hands, but that was just ordinary runic armor, and he fought bloodily for several hours.

Fan Xi was a Great Saint Realm expert, breaking ordinary runic armor, but he wasn't as fast as Young Master Yue in the Holy King Realm breaking elite runic armor!

"Is this all the ability your Wu'an army's elites have?"

Jun Wuxie looked at the Wu'an cavalry commander from a distance, his words containing undisguised contempt.

"Arrogant!"

The commander's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, his eyes cold and stern, his chest heaving violently with anger.

The Wu'an runic armored cavalry were the most elite of the Wu'an Dynasty's elites. In recent years, they had been cultivated with special resources, their runic armor had been upgraded, and their combat power had soared, even stronger than the Da Gan border army elites, known as the strongest army in Qingzhou.

Now, they were actually being so despised and belittled by a Holy King Realm kid, causing him to feel that his pride and glory had been humiliated and trampled upon.

Just then, the cavalry behind him split to both sides, and two ferocious beasts pulled a chariot.

"Greetings, Commander Ashena Zan!"

The cavalry commander quickly stepped forward.

Ashena Zan narrowed his eyes, staring at the tall, mountain-like figure with surging crimson crystal blood energy at the mouth of the canyon, and then looked at the cavalry corpses lying scattered on the ground.

At this time, some people from the Da Gan border army also came forward to lead their Wu'an cavalry's mounts to the rear.

This scene made Ashena Zan's facial muscles twitch fiercely, and his eyes burst with cold light.

"Order the cavalry to continue charging. I want to see how many runic armored cavalry he can withstand!"

Although Ashena Zan's eyes were very cold, there was a hint of excitement on his face.

Holy King Realm, possessing such abilities, had never been heard of since ancient times. It was truly too rare.

He wanted to see where this person's limit was!

"Yes!"

The Wu'an cavalry commander immediately mobilized ten thousand-man squads, formed a battle formation, and charged towards the mouth of the canyon.

This time it wasn't a thousand cavalry but ten thousand cavalry, a true torrent of steel, with the momentum of a rainbow. From a great distance, the strong airflow brought about by the ten thousand cavalry running swept over like a tornado, even rolling up huge rocks weighing hundreds of millions of pounds into the air.

The ten thousand elite cavalry charged at high speed, causing An Ning to involuntarily become nervous.

Such a ten thousand cavalry was enough to trap and kill most Half-Step Tyrant Saints.

These cavalrymen were stronger than the border army elites, very terrifying. Ten thousand cavalry were far from comparable to a thousand cavalry!

Because under this kind of quantity, no matter how miraculous Young Master Yue's movement technique was, it was impossible to avoid it. Could he withstand it?

Not only her, but the million border army soldiers here were also tense, as were the border army soldiers and Ning Wang and others on the city wall.

The only one who was calm was Xu Yan'ning.

Because she was the most knowledgeable about Jun Wuxie's strength.

"Clang!"

Just as the Wu'an ten thousand cavalry were halfway there, a clear sword cry suddenly came from Jun Wuxie, who was standing at the mouth of the canyon.

A touch of cold light flashed, and a heavy sword appeared in front of him.

The heavy sword flowed with a cold light, floating up and down heavily in front of him, strands of sword intent permeating from the sword body.

His gaze suddenly changed from deep to overbearing.

Reaching out and grasping the hilt of the sword, the sword body hummed incessantly. Whether it was the heavy sword or his body, at this moment, both exuded an overbearing and unparalleled True Martial Sword Intent.

Moreover, many talismans rushed out from his body and were branded on the heavy sword. A special murderous aura was added to the sword intent permeating from the sword body.

Seeing that the cavalry was about to rush in front of him, Jun Wuxie raised the heavy sword high with both hands, without using any sword techniques or divine powers. He only condensed the sword intent evolved from martial intent and integrated the armor-breaking talismans of the Talisman Dao.

The light on the heavy sword became dazzling and eye-catching at an astonishing speed, and the surging sword intent caused the wind and clouds above the sky to change color.

Buzz!

He drew his sword, the heavy sword swung out, sweeping forward horizontally.

Amidst the trembling of the heavy sword, a crescent-shaped sword energy rushed forward.

That kind of power caused the space of the canyon to roar incessantly, and the mountains shook.

The Wu'an cavalrymen revealed shocked expressions. Several hundred of them quickly gathered, condensed their strength, and thrust out their war spears forward, attempting to resist the attack.

With a bang, the spears' edge blocked the sword energy, but it also shook their tiger's mouths, causing them to crack. The warhorses under their seats were impacted by this force, their front hooves pawing the air, almost overturning.

Just then, with a sound, a cold light illuminated the canyon.

The second crescent sword energy arrived, and those cavalrymen simply didn't have time to launch a second counterattack in such a short time. With a series of sounds, the armor cracked.

Several hundred cavalry flew out from atop the Sacred Spirit steeds, the rune armor on their bodies shattering in the air, their entire bodies cleaved in two.

At this moment, two streams of cavalry from the flanks seized the opportunity to circle behind him, surrounding him.

"Courting death!"

Jun Wuxie's eyes were cold as he unleashed a blazing sword light from the top-grade middle-level heavy sword in his hand, sweeping across all directions.

Each strand of sword light shimmered with brilliant runes, forcing the rune-armored soldiers to struggle to cope.

The rune-armored cavalry needed the combined strength of hundreds of men to withstand a single strand of sword energy.

However, their combined effort required time; it was impossible to block the first attack and immediately block the second, as it required a process of building momentum.

Jun Wuxie was different; he didn't even use any supernatural powers, merely condensing martial intent to evolve the True Martial intent and wield the sword.

True Martial Qi flowed continuously.

Pfft!

A chorus of miserable cries rang out as men and horses fell.

The rune armor of the Wu'an cavalry shattered, offering no defense. A large number of cavalry were slain just like that, the entire canyon entrance area filled with flying flesh and blood.

"How could this be? How did he do it!"

In the Wu'an army, on the main general's chariot, Ashina Zan and Bahelu's faces were ashen, their hearts filled with unparalleled shock!

"Is he a Rune Master?"

Ashina Zan's eyelids twitched incessantly. "Each time he strikes with his sword, the sword light is wrapped with special runes, runes that possess the effect of armor-breaking! It is precisely because of this that his attacks can break open the internal rune structure of the rune armor, causing the armor to rapidly disintegrate!"

"If that's the case, this person is too terrifying. The army is completely without deterrence in front of him!" Bahelu's expression was solemn. "Fortunately, his current realm is still low, only just entering the Sacred King realm. As long as he is killed, we won't have to consider those troubles!"

"Killing is only the last option. Recruiting him to our side is the best choice!"

Ashina Zan's eyes became fervent.

If such a person could be loyal to Wu'an, he would surely become Wu'an Dynasty's indestructible sharp blade in the future!

"That恐怕 is not easy..."

Bahelu looked at Ashina Zan with some surprise. This prince actually wanted to bring that Yue Wuxie under his command.

But based on his life experience, this was simply impossible.

Those who can achieve such accomplishments in the Sacred King realm not only need talent, but also a strong will.

No one can shake the path chosen by such people, let alone ask him to change his position and camp, and turn his spear against Dagan. Is that possible?

"Easy or not, we always have to try. Offer generous conditions. If he is tempted, that would be good. If he is not tempted, then so be it."

......

At this time, the battle at the canyon entrance was fierce.

Thousands of elite cavalry surrounded Jun Wuxie, launching frantic attacks.

However, all of their attacks were either swept away by the sword energy of the heavy sword or blocked by Jun Wuxie's blood energy barrier, making it difficult to cause him any harm.

The crisscrossing True Qi sword, wrapped with a special armor-breaking force, easily broke through the rune armor, constantly reaping the lives of the Wu'an cavalry, causing the area to be filled with more and more corpses.

The Wu'an cavalry fantasized about exhausting his energy, but as the battle progressed, they found that their target was still full of energy and vigor, his spirit always maintained at its peak, without the slightest sign of fatigue or weakness.

On the contrary, after a period of fighting, most of the ten thousand cavalry were lost, now only a little over two thousand remained.

At this time, these two thousand or so cavalry were filled with fear in their hearts. Meeting this target made them feel powerless and had the intention of retreating.

Especially the blood-soaked ground and the corpses of their comrades—only their corpses, not a single enemy corpse—which was even more devastating.

"Ugh..." Ashina Zan took a deep breath and said, "My elite cavalry was actually scared out of their wits by him..."

He naturally saw the state of the remaining two thousand or so cavalry.

"Dagan's Yue Wuxie!" He stood on the chariot and let out a deep voice, resounding through the canyon, reaching the ears of Jun Wuxie, who was reaping the remaining cavalry at the canyon entrance, and also reaching the ears of An Ning and the border army's soldiers.

"You have amazing talent and unparalleled bravery. Why do you insist on helping Dagan? You need to know that Dagan is a country without a future. This is the trend of the times."

"Yue Wuxie, let me introduce myself. I am Ashina Zan, the son of Wu'an's Ashina Tiankehan, the First Prince of the Wu'an Dynasty, and also the commander of the three armies leading this campaign. I sincerely invite you to join my Wu'an Dynasty and become a brave vanguard general under my command. In the future, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to Wu'an Grand General, be granted the first rank, enjoy endless wealth and glory, and have unlimited prospects!"

As soon as such a promise was made, the generals in this part of Wu'an were shocked.

What was the concept of Wu'an Grand General? That was the commander of the highest military power in the entire dynasty, second only to Tiankehan in power.

Ashina Zan, as the First Prince, would inherit the throne of Tiankehan in the future if nothing unexpected happened.

At that time, he would indeed be qualified to appoint anyone as the Wu'an Grand General.

Such an olive branch, such conditions, were simply so tempting that people forgot to breathe!

On the side of the border army, Xu Yan'ning, Ning Wang, and An Ning were very calm. They just found it funny that the Wu'an's First Prince actually thought that he could buy him off with such conditions.

However, the soldiers of the border army became very nervous, worried that he would waver because of this.

Because his conditions were too tempting!

Rumble!

The heavy sword in Jun Wuxie's hand never stopped for a moment, causing the Wu'an cavalry to fall in droves.

In the gaps between slaying cavalry, he looked at Ashina Zan and said, "Wu'an's First Prince, I advise you to withdraw your troops and return to Wu'an. Don't be used as tools by others, or you may have a good end. Otherwise, your fate will be worrying and the ending will be very tragic!"

Such words were no longer a simple refusal, but a scolding and provocation, with a tone of reprimand.

As the First Prince of Wu'an and the commander of this spirit army, the anger in Ashina Zan's heart instantly rushed to his head!

How unreasonable! He gave such generous conditions, only to let that Yue Wuxie betray his own country. With such great benefits in front of him, not only did the other party not waver, but he also reprimanded him in front of the three armies!

"You are toasting and refusing to drink. Since you cannot be used by me, then be destroyed!" Ashina Zan issued a general offensive order.

Suddenly, the cavalry charged forward, the infantry pressed on, the archers followed behind, and they also pushed heavy rune-linked crossbows.

"Please, all the Killers, come forward and kill that Yue Wuxie!"

Ashina Zan said to a certain area in the army, as he did not want his men to die in vain.

If the Killers took action to kill him, then this attack would be much smoother, and it would also be a huge blow to the morale of the Dagan border army.

Many black-clothed people appeared in the Wu'an army, and then disappeared into the void, infiltrating the battlefield with the main force.

Rumble!

The cavalry charged forward frantically, restraining Jun Wuxie, the infantry seized the opportunity to pass through the canyon entrance smoothly from the left and right sides, and rushed towards the border army led by An Ning, impacting the defense line.

The archers then launched rounds of fierce volleys at the rear of the border army, while those pushing the heavy crossbows locked onto Jun Wuxie, looking for an opportunity to shoot and kill him.
