This is a massacre, utterly devoid of fairness. On the battlefield, several Emperor-level assassins swept through the Da Qin army, their casual gestures sending dozens of soldiers to their deaths.
The Demon Soldier Legion, the strongest fighting force in Da Qin, was halved in mere minutes.
It's important to remember that in previous wars, they had only five thousand men against tens of thousands of enemies. Yet, it was precisely because of them that no matter how fierce the enemy's onslaught, they held the line, suffering remarkably few casualties.
But now, the enemy's Emperor-level experts shamelessly descended, specifically targeting these Demon Soldiers. No matter how they resisted, facing the slaughter of several Emperor-level beings, they could only passively accept their fate.
"Damn you!!! Aren't you afraid of heavenly retribution for doing this? When they fought the demon race, even the Beast Emperor, despicable as he was, never attacked enemies below the Emperor level. And you? Being fellow humans, you are worse than the demon race!"
Zheng Long roared, his expression contorted, veins bulging on his forehead. He had overestimated his opponents' bottom line.
"Presumptuous! Mere ants. Do you know how many demonic beasts we killed in ancient times? In true great battles, it was always Emperor-level powerhouses who acted. These King-level ants are utterly useless. If they're killed, they're killed. Moreover, Da Qin defies heaven. All of you deserve to die!"
An elder sneered, his face showing no hint of remorse. Instead, there was a flicker of pleasure, his gaze towards Zheng Long and the others filled with disdain and mockery.
"Kill!!!" Zheng Long and the others roared. Now, only two of them and two mechs remained. Any one of the opposing late-stage Emperor-level experts could annihilate them. Yet, even so, they had to charge forward, driven by unbearable resentment.
"Heh, in such a hurry to die? Don't worry. Since these Da Qin people are so sentimental, we'll fulfill your wish and let you watch as these ants are wiped out by us."
An elder clad in yellow robes spoke, waving his hand casually. Zheng Long and the other three were instantly sent flying. All four were already at their limit, and the Dragon God mechs were low on energy, with little combat power left.
"I have an idea. Since Da Qin outwardly boasts of its justice and greatness, claiming its reclamation of lost territories is for the greater strength of humanity, heh, the four of you, I'll give you a chance to live. Whoever descends now and kills a hundred of your own soldiers, we might spare your lives."
Among the four late-stage Emperor-level experts, someone spoke with a cold smile. They had seen too much of human nature. Now that they controlled the situation, why not play a little?
"Heh, that's a good idea. Have you four heard? If you want to live, you'd better seize this opportunity. If all your people are dead soon, you'll undoubtedly die!"
Someone added, their tone condescending, looking at Zheng Long and the other three as if they were pets.
"Nonsense! A bunch of undead fossils! Even if we die, our hands will not be stained with the blood of our own people, nor will we be as shameless as to attack the weak!"
Zheng Long cursed, his expression filled with grief. He only hated his own weakness and how little he could contribute.
"Buzz!" A sword light flashed, followed by Zheng Long's scream as one of his arms was severed.
"Hmph, ungrateful. We offer you a chance, which is your honor. Don't fail to cherish it."
One of the elders' faces turned grim, and he cast a cold glance at Zheng Long.
On the battlefield, the army defending Zheng City was in full retreat. The enemy's several Emperor-level experts led the charge, unstoppable. They were about to be defeated!
"Brothers, fight them to the death! Unleash all our thermal weapons, and those with bombs on them, charge!"
A soldier from the War Department shouted, his expression ferocious. He pulled the pin on his grenades and charged directly into the enemy.
"Boom!" With a deafening explosion, a dozen enemy soldiers, caught off guard, were instantly consumed by the inferno.
This was just the beginning. Many soldiers from the War Department followed suit, stopping their retreat and charging towards the enemy.
"Hmph! Just a few ants, and you think you can overturn things?"
An enemy Emperor-level expert sneered. With a wave of his hand, over a dozen War Department soldiers preparing to self-detonate instantly exploded on the spot.
Simultaneously, the four late-stage Emperor-level experts in the sky also attacked, specifically targeting those who intended to take the enemy down with them.
"Boom!" A blinding light erupted on the city walls. The thermal weapon emplacements defending the city were destroyed by the hand of a late-stage Emperor-level expert. Many soldiers died instantly without even understanding what had happened.
"Ahhh!!! Beasts! You beasts!!! You will face retribution, you surely will!"
Zheng Long and the other three went mad, attacking ferociously. The remaining two Dragon God mechs were out of energy. The two King-level warriors inside broke free from their mechs and charged forward.
But they were too weak. So weak that an elder casually waved his hand, sending them flying back. One King-level warrior even died on the spot.
"No!!!"
Zheng Long roared, tears of blood streaming from his eyes, his heart filled with powerlessness and hatred. They were too weak, too useless.
"It's time to end this. Let's attack together, wipe out all these ants, and then occupy Zheng City!"
An elder spoke. The sixteen sects had joined forces for this. Tonight, they launched attacks on Zheng City and Qing City, deploying almost a third of their forces, with the goal of taking both cities in one night.
"Indeed, it's time to end this. What a pity that Li Xiaotian managed to escape this ordeal."
Someone laughed. They had brought so many Emperor-level experts, and the Da Qin side had also ambushed six Emperor-level experts in secret, all to lure out Li Xiaotian and kill him. They hadn't expected the man to not even come to Zheng City tonight, which left them somewhat disappointed.
Immediately, the four late-stage Emperor-level experts unleashed their terrifying auras, intending to completely obliterate all the armies in Zheng City.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, four mid-stage Emperor-level experts joined forces, encircling the surviving Demon Soldier Legion and engaging in a frenzied slaughter.
But at this very moment, a flicker of light flashed in the eyes of each of the Demon Soldiers. Immediately after, their auras surged.
"Kill!!!" The entire Demon Soldier Legion roared in unison, concentrating all their strength to attack one person.
"Puff!" The mid-stage Emperor-level expert was caught off guard by this strike and instantly severely wounded.
This scene was noticed by all the Emperor-level experts present, and they couldn't help but feel a strange sense of unease.
"Not good! A powerful being has arrived!" Amidst the crowd, the late-stage Emperor-level expert who had wielded the long sword earlier suddenly had his eyes sharpen, looking towards the distance.
He felt a formidable aura rapidly approaching the battlefield.
It was already late at night, and the moon in the sky had long since been obscured by dark clouds. Therefore, these Emperor-level experts hadn't noticed the sky-obscuring demonic energy in the distance, only sensing a heart-pounding fluctuation.
"Who is it? Are Jian Ge and Dao Men interfering?"
Someone speculated, their tone filled with apprehension.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, everyone clearly saw the figure in the distant sky.
Li Xiaotian had arrived!
