Qing Ming looked in terror at the central command tent of the Kirin Legion. Inside, a powerful primal energy held him firmly locked in the void, an energy so potent it threatened to suffocate him. It was the peak of battle intent he had ever witnessed.
He remained still, beads of sweat on his forehead. In this moment, he felt like an outsider to the war. His son fought Qin Qiong in the void, while on the ground, his thirty thousand strong army seemed no match for the Han Kirin Legion.
Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin, two mighty Heavenly Martial experts, shone brightly. Without the Sky Fusion realm to back them, these two were like death gods unleashed from the Nine Netherworlds, dominating the battlefield. One wielded a sweeping axe, the other a lashing whip!
"Kirin Legion!!"
Yuchi Gong struck down a Heavenly Martial expert with his whip, raising it to the sky and shouting!
"Screech!"
Elsewhere, Cheng Yaojin let out a ferocious roar, his broadaxe dripping with fresh blood. Hearing Yuchi Gong's call, he immediately raised his arm and shouted: "Kirin Legion!!"
"Hoo!"
"Hoo!"
"Hoo!"
The thirty thousand soldiers of the Kirin Legion, who had been scattered, quickly converged, forming a tight formation to guard against the surrounding Qing Cang Dynasty army. They then raised their Kirin poleaxes and roared in unison!
"Rise!"
Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin bellowed simultaneously. Suddenly, clusters of fire dragons erupted from the ground, clashing in the void, and gradually, a dazzling array of colorful spiritual lights began to shine.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
A Kirin, hundreds of feet tall, with flames at its feet, rapidly materialized!
"Battle Array!"
Qing Ming's eyes bulged. An army capable of forming a battle array saw its combat power surge. This was a battle array formed by thirty thousand Grandmaster soldiers, capable of tearing heaven and earth apart!
He shifted slightly and saw two cold glints flash in his pupils. He quickly scanned over and saw, before the central command tent, Li Bai, clad in white, watching him quietly. He held a wine cup in one hand and gestured to Qing Ming.
Qing Ming instantly felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. Within Li Bai's eyes, sword energies coiled like giant pythons, tightening around his neck. If the Han knew the true depth of the various dynasties' power, then this Green Lotus Sword Immortal, Li Bai alone, would be enough to dominate the Southwest Region!
The soldiers of the Qing Cang Dynasty looked blankly at the colossal figure in the void. It had the head of a sheep, the hooves of a wolf, a round head, a body like a sika deer, was covered in colorful scales, a tail like a dragon's, and sported a pair of horns!
"Roar!!"
It sounded like thunder roaring in their ears, wave after wave of air pressure sweeping outward. Instantly, the ears of hundreds of thousands of Qing Cang Dynasty soldiers were deafened, some even suffered ruptured eardrums, blood spraying out.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
The Kirin opened its massive maw, and what seemed like heavenly fire poured down, engulfing the Qing Cang Dynasty army.
"Roar!!"
The Kirin spewed fire and unleashed sonic waves, making the entire battlefield feel as if the heavens were collapsing, with thunder rumbling and heavenly fire cascading!
In the void, Qin Qiong unleashed a mace strike, like a golden divine mountain descending, obscuring the sky. At this moment, the scene was filled with golden light that shone behind the Kirin's head. A divine beast, unparalleled, suppressed the firmament!
With a single strike, it slammed directly into Qing Feng's chest. It was unclear whether it was the explosive sound hitting Qing Feng or the roaring sound of his primal energy condensed entirely onto the golden mace. The void boomed, and a mushroom cloud detonated on Qing Feng's chest.
"Pfft!"
Qing Feng's body was sent flying, his chest exploding, revealing bone white and sharp spurs.
"Feng'er!"
"Qin Qiong, die for me!"
Qing Ming watched Qing Feng being sent flying. Even if he survived this, he would be crippled. Rage filled him, causing him to ignore Li Bai, who had been locking onto him.
Li Bai looked at the enraged Qing Ming and pointed his right index finger. The sky, which had been filled with fire and golden light moments before, was now dotted with blooming green lotuses, like celestial flowers adorning the Kirin.
"Buzz~~"
Within each blooming green lotus, a three-foot green sword was nurtured. Li Bai clenched his right hand, and a sword energy instantly formed in his palm.
He leaped forward, treading on the blooming green lotuses, moving at an incredible speed. In an instant, it seemed as if the entire sky was filled with his white figure!
Each time his foot touched a lotus, it would rapidly wither. The sword energy nurtured within the flowers transformed into streams of light, merging into the sword energy Li Bai held in his right hand.
Instantly, all the sword energy in the sky converged in his right hand. In a flash, all the green lotuses withered and fell!
"Laughing and drinking a cup of wine, killing in the city!"
"Watch my sword!"
Li Bai downed a mouthful of wine with his left hand, and a torrent of killing intent erupted from his right. The sword energy in his hand was unleashed!
The green lotuses bloomed like a thousand immense flowers behind Li Bai!
Sword energy swept across, and lotuses bloomed!
With a deafening roar, Qing Ming's vision was instantly filled with green flowing light. He suddenly felt a massive impact surge into his chest. His internal primal energy went into violent turmoil, and blood seeped from his body.
"No!"
"Ahhh!!"
Qing Ming roared. He felt as if a colossal power had merged into him, instantly dominating his primal energy. His cultivation was considered top-tier in the Southwest Region. Even though he didn't know Li Bai's realm, he knew he had no power to resist.
"Go!"
Li Bai pointed his hand, and Qing Ming was instantly enveloped in green flowing light, crashing down towards the Qing Cang Dynasty army below.
"Gulp!!"
Li Bai drank his fine wine with a calm expression. Qin Qiong tucked his dual maces to his waist and walked to Li Bai's side.
"General, would you like a drink!"
"Hahaha!"
"This battle!"
"Worthy of a drink!"
Qin Qiong laughed, took the cup, and drained it in one gulp!
Qing Ming, dragged by the primal energy, was filled with extreme fear. Only now did he understand Li Bai's intentions!
His Sky Fusion realm primal energy detonated amidst the army, a thunderous strike.
"No!!"
His body completely lost control, crashing into the midst of the army. With a blinding flash, a massive explosion erupted, followed by a colossal roar. Flames engulfed countless Qing Cang Dynasty soldiers.
...
In the battle of the Kirin Legion, Qing Ming's thirty thousand strong army was annihilated, and three Sky Fusion realm experts perished. Qin Qiong, leading a victorious army filled with unparalleled battle intent, pursued their victory, sweeping through the western regions of the Qing Cang Dynasty in a single day. The Kirin Legion, following the Vermilion Bird Legion, Shattering Sky Ram Legion, Azure Dragon Legion, Kui Niu Legion, and Qiong Qi Legion, became renowned throughout the Southwest Region!
From then on, the entire western coastal region of the Southwest Region, stretching ten thousand li along the coastline, belonged to the Han!
