In front of Qingyun City.
The army surrounded them.
The massive army of millions has already surrounded the entire Qingyun City.
On the tall and majestic city wall, the Guiyuan Dynasty had sent a large number of soldiers to station here. The scene was tense and could be said to be on the verge of breaking out.
Just when Shizhen was about to order an attack on the city, a scholar in blue jumped into the air and appeared in front of the two armies.
"I am from the Xingchen Emperor Chao Nanmo. I don't know who the leading general of the Shenwu Dynasty is today. You might as well come out and see him!"
When Nan Mo spoke, the pressure belonging to the semi-saint radiated out, which could be described as terrifying as the abyss. The brilliant power of heaven swept across all directions, and even the fighting spirit of the two armies seemed to be suppressed to a certain extent.
The war, which was originally silent, now has everyone's eyes focused on him.
To this.
Nan Mo was very satisfied.
This is the effect he wants.
His cultivation in the Semi-Saint Realm gave him the confidence to participate in this battle.
at this time.
Shi Zhen also rose into the air, and a pair of tiger eyes fell on the opponent.
"I am General Shizhen. This battle is between the Shenwu Dynasty and the Guiyuan Dynasty. It has nothing to do with the Xingchen Empire. I don't know what your purpose is here!"
Hearing this, Nan Mo put his hands behind his hands and smiled lightly: "The Guiyuan Dynasty is our ally of the Star Emperor Dynasty. The Star Emperor Dynasty cannot sit idly by in this battle, and a war between the two countries will definitely lead to a loss of lives.
I, the Emperor of the Stars, cannot bear to see the people suffer, so I have come forward to hope that your country can withdraw its troops and not start any more disputes! ”
As soon as these words came out.
Shi Zhen's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
"The Guiyuan Dynasty previously sent a large army to invade our Shenwu Dynasty, and there is no room for relaxation between the two countries.
Since you don’t want to see people in ruins, why not let the Guiyuan Dynasty surrender to our Shenwu Dynasty. In this way, the war can also be quelled! ”
"Do you really want to have your own way?"
Nan Mo's face looked a little ugly.
"I came here under orders, and I don't want to actually meet your country's swordsmen. As long as you can give face to our Star Emperor Dynasty, you can gain the friendship of our Star Emperor Dynasty!"
"The face of the Star Emperor Dynasty?"
The sarcasm on Shi Zhen's face became more and more obvious, and finally his eyes turned cold.
"What reputation does your Xingchen Emperor have, and what qualifications do you have to order our Shenwu Dynasty to act? In today's battle, Qingyun City will be destroyed. If you insist on intervening, you must be prepared to die!"
< br>
"Okay, okay, let me see how qualified you are to make such nonsense!"
Nan Mo laughed angrily, and the terrifying aura on his body surged, as if he wanted to overturn the world.
Just then.
Shi Zhen's eyes turned cold, and he stepped out of the void. The god-killing spear Xumijian in his dantian appeared in his hand. The power of energy and blood poured into the bronze war spear, and the immortal blood of the Holy King on it erupted in terrifying fluctuations. .
The next moment.
The bronze war spear shattered the void, and the bloody light reflected into the sky and the earth. A feeling of great terror emerged in Nan Mo's heart, turning the coldness on his face into panic.
"Great Holy Soldier——"
Nan Mo didn't even have time to think about it, and his figure simply retreated.
However.
No matter how fast he moves, he can't move faster than the Great Holy Soldier.
When the blood-colored cold light struck, a jade pendant around Nan Mo's waist emitted divine light, protecting it like a barrier between heaven and earth. However, in less than a breath, the divine light disappeared and the jade pendant also shattered.
"Boom!"
Nan Mo's body was pierced, and the blood-colored cold light directly nailed him to the wall of Qingyun City. The half-saint's vitality was directly wiped out in one encounter.
quiet!
Both armies are now in deathly silence!
Everyone looked at Shi Zhen in the void, their eyes filled with horror.
Especially Lu Zhou, who was nailed to the city wall as soon as he saw Nan Mo, and his whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar.
He couldn't figure it out.
How dare Shi Zhen take action so decisively and kill Nan Mo directly.
A Nanmo is nothing. But the Star Emperor Dynasty standing behind the other party was by no means taking it easy.
So what if behind the Shenwu Dynasty, there is a man who is as powerful as the Great Sage. For forces like the Star Emperor Dynasty, the Great Sage may not be able to dust himself off.
so.
In Lu Zhou's opinion.
Shi Zhen probably didn't have the courage to break up with the Star Emperor Dynasty.
But this scene was completely beyond Lu Zhou's expectations.
But——
Lu Zhou couldn't care less now.
Nan Mo died.
The Shenwu Dynasty directly used the Great Holy Soldier.
This battle.
Qingyun City is difficult to defend.
Sure enough.
Just when Lu Zhou's thoughts fell, Shi Zhen took action again, activating the power of the God-killing Spear. The terrible blow caused the void to collapse. The entire Qingyun City shook violently, and the ancient and majestic city walls collapsed like paper. The sky was filled with dust and smoke.
I don't know how many soldiers fell under this blow.
at the same time.
Qingyun City was also torn apart, and the originally tight defense now had holes.
In the void.
Shi Zhen put the God-killing Spear into his Dantian, then returned to the central position in one step and gave the order directly.
"Siege the city!"
Give an order.
The army attacks.
Shi Zhen did not use the God-killing Spear again. With his current strength, it was his limit to activate the Great Holy Soldier twice. It would not be easy to launch a third attack.
But whether to use the God-killing Spear or not is no longer a big problem.
The first strike killed Nan Mo, and the second strike broke the wall of Qingyun City, which was enough to demoralize the Guiyuan Dynasty.
Sure enough.
When the army attacked, although Lu Zhou quickly reacted and rallied the troops of the Yuan Dynasty to resist, the latter's morale had been lost and there was no way to form an effective combat force in a short period of time.
The moment the troops came into contact, the Guiyuan Dynasty was in a one-sided situation.
"Kill!"
When he saw that the Guiyuan Dynasty was completely at a disadvantage, Lu Zhou's eyes were red, he brandished the long sword in his hand, and kept charging into the formation, hoping to block the Shenwu Dynasty's offensive with his own strength.
But the next moment.
Lu Zhou's offensive was contained.
Just like a sharp arrow, the Tiangang army was seen piercing the battlefield, killing other soldiers of the Guiyuan Dynasty with lightning speed, and then directly trapping Lu around.
Nowadays, the thirty-six thousand Tiangang troops are the elites of the entire Shenwu Dynasty. The weakest ones have all entered the Grand Master realm, and there are many who have broken through to the Divine Transformation realm.
The moment the Tiangang Divine Evil Formation was activated, Lu Zhou suddenly felt great pressure.
but.
After all, he is a strong man at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm. Although his strength is not as good as that of Nan Mo, who is at the semi-saint level, he should not be underestimated.
Even with the power of the Tiangang Divine Evil Formation, it was almost impossible to encircle the opponent, allowing him to break out of the siege directly.
"Tiangang Army——"
"So what does the military formation mean? This general has killed countless powerful enemies in his life, so what does a mere military formation mean?"
A cold light flashed in Lu Zhou's eyes, and the surging energy and blood flowed into the long sword. Suddenly, he saw the blade cutting through the void, transforming into countless sword shadows sweeping across the sky and the earth.
Phantom Seven Ultimate Slashes!
This is a stunt that Lu Zhou has become famous for many years. Now once it is deployed, one can see that the shadows of the numerous swords contain endless murderous intent.
For a while.
Even the Tiangang Army is under great pressure.
Just then.
Space vibrates.
A figure appeared directly on the battlefield. An unparalleled magical sword contained a monstrous sword intent. Lu Zhou was frightened and hurriedly raised his sword to resist.
The two magic weapons collided, and Lu Zhou felt a terrifying force sweep in, making him unable to stop taking several steps back.
The moment Lu Zhou retreated, the Tiangang Army seized the opportunity and took the first step to suppress the former before he could truly stabilize his figure.
originally.
With Lu Zhou's strength, a Tiangang Divine Evil Formation could not help him.
But as Shi Zhen took action, Lu Zhou's pressure suddenly increased.
This way.
Lu Zhou also gradually showed a disadvantage.
Just after the exchange of thousands of moves, Lu Zhou was not careful, and his chest was split open by Shi Zhen with a knife, and his whole body was directly nailed to the ground.
Subsequently.
Shi Zhen took action again, sealing the energy and blood around Lu Zhou's body very quickly, and then ordered people to capture him.
This time.
Only then did Lu Zhou clearly see the situation around him.
Under the offensive of the Shenwu Dynasty army, the Guiyuan Dynasty was completely defeated.
The moment he was captured, Qingyun City had already declared its fall.
See this scene.
Lu Zhou's face faded.
He thought he would lose, but he never thought he would lose so simply.
From the beginning of the war to now, in less than half a day, Qingyun City has completely fallen.
The million-strong army guarding Qingyun City also suffered heavy casualties.
This moment.
Lu Zhou finally understood.
What does it mean to be defeated like a mountain, and the remaining ones are in ruins!
——
One day later.
In the government office.
Lu Zhou stepped here again.
The difference is.
This time, Lu Zhou appeared in the government office as a prisoner. As for the original person in charge, it was Shi Zhen.
"This general has heard of General Lu for a long time. Qingyun City was defeated in this battle. Our Shenwu Emperor has always valued talents like General Lu very highly.
So now give General Lu a chance to survive. If General Lu is willing to join the Shenwu Dynasty, he will not only survive, but also hope to be reused by His Majesty! ”
Shi Zhen said straight to the point.
Faced with his words to win over, Lu Zhou immediately sneered: "Lv is a minister of the Yuan Dynasty. How can he surrender to another country? There is nothing to say to a successful king or a defeated bandit. If you want to kill or cut them all, please do as you please!"
"General Lu is wrong!"
Shi Zhen shook his head slightly, showing no intention of getting angry.
"As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes. Now that the defeat of the Guiyuan Dynasty has been determined, why should General Lu struggle in vain!"
"Besides, can General Lu really turn a blind eye to the lives of hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers in Qingyun City?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Lu Zhou's expression changed.
"What do you mean?"
"I believe General Lu knows what I mean!"
"It is a taboo to harm the surrendered troops. Isn't it possible that the Shenwu Dynasty is not afraid of being cast aside by the world?"
Lu Zhou was furious.
He did not expect that Shi Zhen would threaten him with surrender of troops.
To this.
Shi Zhen just smiled calmly: "History is written by the victors. As long as our Shenwu Dynasty is the final winner, we don't have to worry about these problems.
Besides, it doesn’t matter if the world despises me. In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. As long as our Shenwu Dynasty is strong enough, no one dares to say anything openly! ”
Hear the words.
Lu Zhou's face turned ugly, but he had no way to refute.
This time.
Shi Zhen then spoke: "I admire General Lu as a talented person, so I can't bear to see the general die here. Now the Shenwu Dynasty is the general trend. If General Lu surrenders, not only will his soldiers be able to survive, but he will also be reused by the court."
"I believe General Lu also knows something about the Shenwu Dynasty. It has only been a few decades since the founding of the Shenwu Dynasty."
"In the past few decades, the Shenwu Dynasty has been promoted from a new dynasty to a dynasty, and its future achievements are limitless!"
"Decades ago, this general was just an ant that had not even entered the realm of divine transformation, but now he has entered the ninth level of the Taoist palace. This is the opportunity given by the Shenwu Dynasty."
"If General Lu is willing to surrender, it may not be impossible to have a glimpse of the holy realm when the great war comes in the future!"
Shi Zhen's words made Lu Zhou's expression change.
I have to say.
These words were extremely tempting to him.
Lu Zhou naturally saw the potential of the Shenwu Dynasty clearly.
A new dynasty can complete a path that other dynasties may not be able to complete in tens of thousands of years in just a few decades, which is enough to illustrate the terrifying power of the Shenwu Dynasty.
Lu Zhou is very aware of his potential. If he continues to stay in the Guiyuan Dynasty now, even if the great war comes, the chance of truly becoming a saint will be slim.
A more important point.
He is now a prisoner. If he disagrees, not only will he die, but all the soldiers from Qingyun City will also die.
Faced with the choice of life and death, Lu Zhou had to admit that he was indeed moved.
Seeing Lu Zhou's hesitation, Shi Zhen did not continue to press, but said calmly: "I will give General Lu three days to think about it. If General Lu is still loyal to the Guiyuan Dynasty after three days, then I will help you."
< br>
Finished.
Shi Zhen's eyes signaled, and immediately two soldiers took Lu Zhou down again.
Only then did a general speak: "General, if Lu Zhou pretends to surrender in three days, what should we do?"
"Don't worry about this matter. If he is interested, this person will be escorted back to Jiuzhou and left to His Majesty's decision. Even if Your Majesty really uses this person, he will have to wait until the overall situation of the Guiyuan Dynasty is decided."
"As for the remaining troops from Qingyun City, they will all be screened. If they can be used by us, they will be broken up and organized into various battalions to make up for the losses in this battle.
As for the remaining ones that cannot be used by me..."
Speaking of this, Shi Zhen's eyes flashed coldly.
"Kill them all, leaving no one behind!"
"Yes!"
All the generals were shocked, and immediately bowed their heads in a hurry to accept their orders.
Shi Zhen looked indifferent.
As Lu Zhou said, if he was to kill and surrender his troops, it would naturally cause an uproar once the news got out, but now that the two countries were at war, he could not tolerate any mercy.
If there are too many surrendered troops, it will inevitably slow down the progress of the march. If all the surrendered troops are released, it will be more likely to let the tiger go back to the mountain, ultimately causing more casualties to the Shenwu Dynasty.
This way.
Shi Zhen naturally wanted to save the lives of his soldiers as much as possible.
As for the rest, we can only leave it to the future. (End of chapter)
