"Xue Rengui, where are you!"
Yang Hao gazed at the firmament and roared, his voice, like an unparalleled dragon's cry, reverberated across the Great Han's territory. Even in Mengzhou, Fengzhou, and Dingzhou in the eastern Immortal Realm, as long as it was within the Great Han's domain, Yang Hao's domineering voice echoed.
"Your subject is here!"
A voice responded, and the early Tang Dynasty heroes of the Great Han all looked towards the firmament. Cheng Yaojin, incredibly excited, his battle axe at his waist, his eyes shining, gazed at the firmament from which the voice originated. "Heh, Brother Xue has been born!"
Li Siyi, Gao Xianzhi, and other heroes from the mid-Tang Dynasty looked towards the firmament. Xue Rengui, the White-Clad War God, was one of the War Gods of the Great Tang. His skill in commanding troops and his prowess in charging into battle were beyond any exaggeration!
"The general's three arrows fixed the Heavenly Mountains, the warrior's long song entered the Han Pass!" Each hero murmured. Those heroes from before the Tang Dynasty focused on this voice, sensing this ancient hero who was about to appear. His powerful imperial aura was exceptionally potent and magnificent.
"Clang!"
In a space within the firmament above Chang'an City, a section of it suddenly cracked open with a 'dong' sound, and a terrifying aura surged out. At that moment, Emperor Hetao and Emperor Diyan's faces changed drastically, their complexions instantly turning red. Their blood essence seemed to be forcibly drawn to their heads, even attempting to break through the seals and splatter into the void. Powerful imperial might surged, all focused on the firmament where the two Immortal Emperors stood. None of the heroes, nor even the citizens of Chang'an City, could perceive the extent of the pressure that Emperor Hetao and Emperor Diyan were enduring.
"Dong!"
A figure emerged, clad in white robes and white armor, wielding a Fangtian Huaji. The figure knelt on one knee and said, "Your subject, Xue Rengui, greets the Sacred Emperor!"
"Kill!" Yang Hao uttered a single word, his killing intent vast and mighty!
"Your subject! Obeys the decree!"
Xue Rengui rose, turned around, and fixed his gaze on Emperor Hetao and Emperor Diyan, who were bearing immense imperial might. As his eyes swept over them, the bodies of the two supreme Immortal Emperors immediately cracked with blood-red lines. Emperor Diyan cried out in fear, "Who are you?" Emperor Hetao, terrified, was covered in cold sweat. His previously red face had turned pale.
"Acting under the Sacred Emperor's decree, I shall execute!" Xue Rengui's expression was cold and indifferent as he looked at the two supreme Immortal Emperors who had been so arrogant moments ago. Upon his birth, he controlled nineteen Imperial Destinies, with a maximum eruption of twenty-nine, an exceptionally terrifying power.
"Boom!"
Xue Rengui extended his left hand and grasped at the space. A silver war bow materialized. He placed his right hand's fingers on the bowstring. The entire war bow, even the three arrows of light that materialized, flowed with powerful imperial patterns. Emperor Hetao had twenty-five Imperial Destinies, and Emperor Diyan had twenty-seven. Both were within Xue Rengui's range of reversing eight Imperial Destinies, more than enough to suppress and annihilate them!
The instant the three silver arrows of light condensed, two trajectories, perceptible only to Immortal Emperors, appeared in the firmament, directly targeting the foreheads of Emperor Hetao and Emperor Diyan. Even as the arrows were forming, the foreheads of the two emperors began to bleed red. With a 'dong', his finger released, and the three arrows, carrying enough power to destroy any being below twenty-eight Imperial Destinies, shot towards Emperor Hetao and Emperor Diyan, who were suppressed in the firmament.
"Who is this person?"
Gazing at the majestic figure clad in white robes and white armor, Lu Bu dispelled his Fangtian Huaji and said in a deep voice.
"The White-Clad War God! Xue Rengui!" Murong Ke, at the Quasi-Emperor realm, looked at the figure maintaining the posture of drawing his bow with a hint of reverence.
"Xue Rengui?"
Lian Po and Jia Fu murmured softly. The shot from the drawn bow, before even three arrows were released, had already locked onto the foreheads of two supreme Immortal Emperors. Before the arrows were fired, their piercing power alone had already drawn blood from the two emperors' foreheads. At this moment, suppressed by Xue Rengui's formidable imperial might, Emperor Hetao and Emperor Diyan were utterly terrified. As arrogant as they had been before, they were now as humble. Looking at the drawn bow and the impending shot, the pupils of the two emperors contained only the three silver arrows, nothing else!
"No... no...!"
Emperor Hetao, who had always appeared remarkably calm, now roared frantically. His white robes were stained with crimson imperial blood!
"Great Han!! Great Han!!"
Emperor Diyan's neck veins bulged like dragons. He roared with all his might, a roar of unwilling defiance. "Yang Hao, you brat, Emperor Taiyin will not let you go! And your Great Han empire, will not let you go!! Hahaha!!"
These three arrows were unseen by countless beings. Even Lu Bu, Jia Fu, and Lian Po only perceived a sliver of them. They saw the three arrows, but they only existed on the bowstring. The process of the three arrows charging forward was only witnessed by Emperor Hetao and Emperor Diyan, incredibly fast and yet incredibly slow, torturing their hearts.
As the three arrows arrived before the foreheads of the two, terrifying imperial patterns condensed, frantically resisting the killing power of the three arrows. Alas, the imperial patterns that the two had nurtured since their inception shattered silently under the impact of the three arrows. The three arrows directly entered the foreheads of the two emperors, instantly pierced through the back of their heads, and disappeared into the distant sky. Under Xue Rengui's gaze, they dissipated silently, without any trace of killing power!
To the eyes of the assembled beings, the two Immortal Emperors first saw blood spurt from their foreheads, and then their bodies exploded, their imperial blood surging out. All beings gasped in disbelief. They had no idea what had happened; two powerful Immortal Emperors had simply perished in the sky.
Emperor Hetao, the second powerhouse of the Dao Sea Alliance, controlled twenty-five Imperial Destinies; Emperor Diyan, the second powerhouse of the Sun-Moon Heavenly Court, controlled twenty-seven Imperial Destinies! Both perished in the void above Chang'an.
Their bodies shattered, their imperial blood surged, their imperial might suppressed by the arrows, all their thoughts and desires were annihilated by those three arrows!
Xue Rengui dispelled his war bow and extended a finger, gently pointing at the surging imperial blood. The scalding, terrifying imperial blood was all suppressed beneath the ground of the Xuanzheng Hall plaza. With the influx of imperial blood, the vast plaza instantly became awe-inspiring, like a supreme treasure!
"Your subject has suppressed the invading enemy!"
Xue Rengui knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.
"Issue a decree!"
Yang Hao, with a slight smile, spoke, "Jia Fu, the third commander of the Azure Dragon Legion, suppressed three top Immortal Emperors and successfully annihilated the invading enemy. He is hereby conferred the title of General of the First Rank, Marquis of the First Degree, with the posthumous title Jiaodong!"
"Lian Po, the commander of the Black Tortoise Legion, suppressed three Immortal Emperors and successfully annihilated the invading enemy. He is hereby conferred the title of General of the First Rank, Marquis of the First Degree, with the posthumous title Xinping!"
"Your subject thanks the Sacred Emperor for his immense grace!" Lian Po and Jia Fu stepped out, their faces filled with emotion, and bowed.
