"How can you possibly stop me!"
Tian Sha laughed heartily, his figure shooting up into the sky. Within Tian Xian City, many figures also ascended.
These were the Tian Sha Guards, responsible for the recent conflagration.
"The Nine Heavens Dynasty army has arrived! All generals, heed my command: defend the city gates to the death!"
A powerful voice boomed through the heavens. Emperor Long slowly rose, enveloped in a formidable aura.
The situation had escalated to this point, leaving no choice but to fight to the last man. The fate of the White Dragon Dynasty was now beyond even his control.
Seeing the Nine Heavens army approach, Tian Sha sneered, "Today, the city walls will fall, and the White Dragon Dynasty will perish. Why do you resist so stubbornly? If you were to defect to the Nine Heavens Dynasty, you could live even better lives!"
"Never! We will not betray our country!"
Patriarch Li spoke with cold resolve, "Allow me to face you, the legendary Tian Sha, and see what true power you possess!"
In a flash, Patriarch Li advanced towards Tian Sha, showing no hesitation.
If Tian Sha dared to breach the city with his men, he deserved to be taught a lesson, lest the White Dragon Dynasty be perceived as easy prey.
"You?"
Tian Sha scoffed, still viewing Patriarch Li as beneath him. As the controller of the Tian Sha Guards, he was not someone ordinary individuals could challenge.
*Boom...*
A massive collision resounded. Patriarch Li was violently flung backward, blood trickling from his lips, his heart filled with indignation.
As a pillar of the White Dragon Dynasty, failing to withstand even one move from Tian Sha was a profound disgrace to their kingdom.
"Are you alright?"
Patriarch Zhao asked, his brow furrowed in surprise at Tian Sha's formidable strength.
"Do not act rashly!"
Steward Li interjected, "Allow me to face him!"
The three patriarchs nodded, acknowledging that their own strength was insufficient to subdue Tian Sha easily.
Tian Sha was at least a Heavenly Venerate, a level of power they could not forcibly contend with.
"You all go deal with the other members of Tian Sha's contingent!"
Steward Li advised, "The Tian Sha Guards comprise thirty-six Venerates, all exceptionally powerful. Their infiltration of Tian Xian City indicates malicious intent. Everyone, be vigilant!"
"Rest assured, Steward Li!" Su Dan Novel Network
The three patriarchs clasped their fists and turned to depart. The Tian Sha Guards were a formidable force, and they needed to be dealt with swiftly so they could focus on the Nine Heavens Dynasty.
Meanwhile, chaos erupted within Tian Xian City. The presence of Tian Sha's thirty-six Venerates and the numerous soldiers of the Nine Heavens Dynasty immediately placed the White Dragon Dynasty at a severe disadvantage, teetering on the brink of collapse.
Seeing the dire situation, Emperor Long slowly ascended, his power as a Heavenly Sovereign and the leader of White Dragon King City enabling him to eliminate Tian Sha's forces.
"Emperor Long, why must you personally engage in their disputes?"
At this moment, an icy voice cut through the air. Emperor Nine Heavens strode forward, accompanied by a retinue of experts.
"You have finally appeared!"
Emperor Long sneered, "I never imagined you would disregard familial ties and be so determined to seize my empire!"
"In war, unforeseen circumstances are many. How could I allow what should not happen to occur!"
Emperor Nine Heavens chuckled coldly, "Your White Dragon Dynasty is at its end today. Why do you still struggle!"
"Nonsense! My White Dragon Dynasty has countless experts and a million-strong army. Even if we fight to the death, we will never let you succeed!" Emperor Long's expression was frigid.
"Why go to such lengths!"
Emperor Nine Heavens scoffed, "To retaliate against my Nine Heavens Dynasty, you would sacrifice a million soldiers!"
"Enough talk. If you wish to fight, then fight!"
Emperor Long advanced without reservation, his gaze sharp and determined. He was eager to gauge Emperor Nine Heavens' true strength.
In a blur of motion, the two figures clashed head-on, their battle raging fiercely outside Tian Xian City, stirring up a maelstrom.
Elsewhere in the sky, countless other powerful individuals met their end, their sacrifice utterly tragic.
This was the final confrontation, and all understood its profound significance. Defeat meant the peril of their very lives.
At this very moment, within the White Dragon Dynasty, the populace gazed towards Tian Xian City, their hearts filled with apprehension. They knew the great battle had commenced.
As for who would emerge victorious, that remained undecided.
However, from an overall perspective, the White Dragon Dynasty possessed far too few formidable experts. They faced immense pressure from the Nine Heavens Dynasty, and without reinforcements, their situation was dire.
In mid-air, Linglong looked forward with growing alarm, "Could it be that the Nine Heavens Dynasty has broken their promise and attacked already!"
"It seems so!"
Lu Fan nodded, "Otherwise, there would not be such a powerful aura of slaughter emanating from the White Dragon Dynasty!"
"Then we must quicken our pace!"
Liu Qianjiao spoke, "Once Tian Xian City falls and its experts perish, the White Dragon Dynasty will be unable to survive!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, not daring to delay further. What Liu Qianjiao said was not false; if they were too late, their efforts would be in vain.
After a night's journey, Lu Fan and the other two arrived in Tian Xian City, the sight of corpses strewn throughout the city a chilling spectacle.
The battle still raged. All three patriarchs had fallen, Steward Li was near death, and Emperor Long and Emperor Nine Heavens stood facing each other, neither daring to make a rash move.
At their level of power, even a slight opening could lead to a fatal blow.
The White Dragon Dynasty's million-strong army was now reduced to mere hundreds of thousands. The Nine Heavens Dynasty, with its numerous experts, had sustained minimal losses.
At this moment, the eyes of the White Dragon Dynasty's soldiers were filled with unyielding anger and a fierce desire for vengeance.
"Father Emperor!"
Linglong cried out, her heart filled with worry. Emperor Long and Emperor Nine Heavens stood in a tense standoff on the city walls, no one daring to approach.
"Do not come closer!"
Emperor Long warned, his expression grave, "It is dangerous here!"
"Rest assured, Emperor Long, reinforcements are arriving soon!"
Lu Fan declared, "They will pay for every drop of blood spilled!"
"Reinforcements?"
Emperor Nine Heavens sneered, "Where would your reinforcements come from?"
"That is not for you to worry about!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and stepped onto the battlefield. A powerful surge of flames erupted around him, forcing back numerous enemy soldiers.
The generals of the White Dragon Dynasty, upon seeing Lu Fan, displayed great joy, shouting "Prince Consort."
To the generals, Lu Fan was like a god of war; his presence instilled them with unwavering confidence.
Simultaneously, Lu Fan covertly transmitted a message to Princess Linglong, instructing her to bring Prince Shangguan forward.
Though Linglong was perplexed, she did not dare to delay.
"As the saying goes, even a tiger does not eat its cubs. Prince Shangguan is still in our hands, yet you dare to make a move. Truly remarkable!"
Lu Fan sneered coldly, his words laced with mockery.
