Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 179 One Man with a Sword, Charging into the Enemy Camp Alone!

The seventh prince of the Great Jin Kingdom, Liu Mubai.

In a torrent of blood, his bifurcated body plummeted, crashing to the ground with two thumps, shattering to pieces.

His death meant that there would be no end to the rivalry between Tianqing Kingdom and the Great Jin Kingdom until one was annihilated!

However...

Whether it was the ordinary soldiers or powerhouses like Yu Huaxian and the three Shi brothers, not a single person blamed Xiao Yi.

Their hearts were ablaze with the will to fight.

Just as Xiao Yi had said, no strong nation had ever emerged from compromise!

If Tianqing Kingdom was to rise, it could only rely on itself!

Meet warriors with warriors, counter water with earth!

What of the Great Jin Kingdom?

As long as one is sufficiently powerful, one can completely repel them at the nation's gates, or even sweep through the Great Jin!

Of course...

The reason Xiao Yi did this, apart from his confidence in his own strength, was that he had acquired the inheritance of the Wind Thunder Venerable, equipping him with countless alchemy formulas. Among them was one that could greatly enhance the strength of basic martial artists in a short period of time, and once this set of formulas was successfully concocted.

Within three months, Tianqing Kingdom would have a million-strong Azure Dragon Guard!

It is to be noted that the Azure Dragon Guard was formerly the Golden Crow Guard!

The most elite military force of the Great Jin Kingdom.

According to Yu Huaxian, even with the full might of the Great Jin Kingdom, the armies that could rival the Golden Crow Guard were no more than a hundred thousand strong. Stay updated via empire

If Tianqing Kingdom could muster a million Azure Dragon Guards, and with powerhouses like Xiao Yi, Yu Huaxian, Xue Bufan, and others to defend it, even the Great Jin Kingdom would be helpless against them!

This was the source of Xiao Yi's confidence!

"Xiao, the news of Liu Mubai's death can hardly be concealed, and it will most likely reach the Great Jin Kingdom within half a month. When that happens, the Great Jin Kingdom will be enraged and may lash out in full force, provoking a war of annihilation. We must be on guard!" Yu Huaxian knew well the strength of the Great Jin Kingdom and spoke with a grave expression.

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan in mind. Immediately arrange for men. Tomorrow morning, follow me back to the kingdom with the Azure Dragon Guard!"

"Understood!"

Yu Huaxian bowed and withdrew.

Xiao Yi turned to Shi Yaodu and the other two, "How goes the collection of medicinal herbs I tasked you with?"

Shi Yaodu promptly replied, "We have gathered all the herbs that could be found in the capital."

"Very good!"

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes and said, "First, hand over all the collected herbs to me. Tomorrow, I will return to the kingdom with Huaxian and the Azure Dragon Guard. We must resolve matters with Sihai and Baijing Kingdoms as soon as possible. As for you... on the way back, collect every single herb I mentioned in every city, without exception."

"Yes, sir!"

Shi Yaoquan handed a storage ring to Xiao Yi. The three bowed respectfully and then withdrew.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, looking toward the horizon where the red sun was slowly setting: "Your Majesty, I promised to protect Tianqing Kingdom, and I will keep that promise. Overthrowing the Great Qian Dynasty is too distant a goal, so let me first overthrow the Great Jin Kingdom, and make Tianqing the supreme beneath Great Qian!"

......

Babao Pass.

Gu Junhe sat in the governor's residence.

Indeed, he was a man of extraordinary talent, having stepped into the Tao Tribulation Realm relying solely on his comprehension.

Moreover, he had single-handedly withstood Xia Yuan and Bai Jianfeng from Baijing Kingdom, both Tao Tribulation Realm powerhouses, and staunchly defended Babao Pass, preventing them from gaining even an inch of ground.

With news of Xiao Yi's consecutive annihilation of Tianlan Kingdom and Qingyun Kingdom reaching Babao Pass, the morale of Tianqing Kingdom's soldiers was high, repeatedly thwarting the advance of Baijing Kingdom's army. Yet, in such brutal warfare, the army defending Babao Pass for Tianqing Kingdom had dwindled from its original four hundred thousand to now only one hundred and eighty thousand.

More than half had died in battle!

On the other hand, though Baijing Kingdom had also suffered heavy casualties, they still commanded an army of six hundred thousand.

A medical officer beside Gu Junhe was treating his wounds with meticulous care. His back was covered with dozens of fierce sword marks, inflicted by the combined efforts of Xia Yuan and Bai Jianfeng.

Gu Junhe remained expressionless, allowing the medical officer to tend to his savage wounds, and asked the officer before him, "Cheng De, how much longer can our provisions last?"

"To report to the general, our provisions will only suffice for seven more days."

Cheng De, having lost an arm, revealed a grim expression, "That bastard Xia Yuan, when he pledged allegiance, he burnt our granaries to the ground, leaving nothing behind. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a passive position."

"General, the attacks from Baijing Kingdom's army have become increasingly ferocious these past few days. I fear the men won't be able to hold out much longer!"

"I suggest we first evacuate Babao Pass, and once Guardian Martial God Lord Xiao arrives with support, we can counterattack..."

"Once Babao Pass is lost, the vast prairie lies beyond. How will we defend against the Baijing Kingdom's army once they spread out?"

"We must not retreat!"

"But if we don't retreat, how can just our 180,000 men hold out?"

The generals argued fiercely.

At that moment...

A messenger rushed in from outside the door, out of breath: "Report..."

"What's the matter?"

The generals turned their anxious eyes to the messenger, "Has the Baijing Kingdom's rabble launched another attack?"

Bang!

Gu Junhe slammed his palm down on the table, eyes blazing with fury: "This is intolerable! Bring me my armor; I'm going to fight them myself!"

"No, no, no, that's not it..."

The messenger finally caught his breath and quickly said, "It's... It's the War God himself who has appeared. He alone, with a single sword, has gone to the Baijing Kingdom's military camp..."

"What?"

"The National God of War Xiao Yi himself?"

"He's going into the camp alone? Isn't that suicide?"

"All men, heed my command, rush out of the city to meet the enemy... No matter what, we must protect Xiao Yi!" Gu Junhe shouted anxiously.

Despite the continuous good news from Xiao Yi during this period,

there were even rumors...

that even those in the Tao Tribulation Realm couldn't withstand a single move from him.

But those were just rumors!

The Baijing Kingdom has two beings of the Tao Tribulation Realm, and hundreds of thousands of troops. With Xiao Yi charging into the camp alone, isn't this like sending a lamb into the tiger's mouth?

For a moment,

Babao Pass was in chaos.

At the same time,

Xiao Yi, riding the Tianqing wild ox, appeared alone in front of the Baijing Kingdom's camp.

"Who goes there?"

The soldiers guarding the camp gate tensed up, spears and swords ready, and the archers on the arrow tower aimed their arrows at Xiao Yi.

Now that the two countries were at war, they could not be too careful with a man appearing alone in front of their camp.

Xiao Yi glanced at them and said indifferently, "Summon Xia Yuan and Bai Jianfeng to see me!"

"How dare you!"

"General Xia and Mr. Bai are not names you can call out directly!"

"Seize this arrogant fool at once!"

The guard captain waved his hand, and two alert guards stepped forward.

Xiao Yi shook his head slightly and flicked his fingers.

Bursts of vital energy shot out like a torrential rain of arrows.

Swish, swish, swish!

A dozen guards fell to the ground at the sound.

"This is bad!"

"It's an attack!"

"Kill him..."

The archers on the arrow tower continuously fired volleys, but their arrows came to an abrupt halt half a meter from Xiao Yi, then reversed direction. With the sound of thuds, they struck down the soldiers on the tower, one by one. In an instant, the guards at the front of the Baijing Kingdom's camp were wiped out, and Xiao Yi's voice boomed like a song, reverberating between heaven and earth: "The National God of War of the Tianqing Kingdom, Xiao Yi, is here. Xia Yuan, Bai Jianfeng, come out and face your deaths!"
