The four city walls of 318 City were defended by Chen Jiuyang, Gong Luque, Gong Liexian, and the Sword Holder respectively.
"Reporting to King Qian, at this pace, we will completely suppress these Indras God Nation martial artists in the city within half a day!"
"Mm." Chen Jiuyang stood on the city wall, his expression calm. The group of Indras God Nation martial artists in the city seemed numerous and formidable.
However, most of them were not strong, with the majority below the Profound Realm’s fourth aperture, and there were even Yellow Realm martial artists. They were like clay chickens and pottery dogs, posing no threat.
These Indras God Nation martial artists were not suicidal. After being terrified by Chen Jiuyang's killings, some surrendered, while others turned to flee.
Martial artists below the Earth Realm Grandmaster, even those in the Profound Realm Grandmaster, had to fear the damage from firearms. Within Dragon Country, only the army and the Six Doors were authorized to use firearms.
The sounds of battle within the city were incessant.
The suppression was merely a matter of time.
What was truly concerning was King Dai Xuluo and the troops he would bring.
The focus was on King Dai Xuluo. With thirty thousand troops from the Zhenxi Army, plus tens of thousands of Dragon Country martial artists within the city, holding off the elite troops brought by King Dai Xuluo should not be a problem.
Ultimately, to catch the leader, one must first catch the king. As long as King Dai Xuluo was killed, this matter would be over.
The key was King Dai Xuluo's combat power. After comprehending the Yuan Dao techniques, Chen Jiuyang could at most withstand a full-power divine might strike from a half-step Heavenly Realm expert.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiuyang felt a heavy heart, but he was not flustered. Within 318 City, there were Gong Luque and Gong Liexian, as well as the Daoist Wuwei and Monk Zuokong. Most importantly, there was the Sword Holder!
Chen Jiuyang had met several Sword Holders on multiple occasions, but he had never seen one in action. However, their status in Dragon Country was extremely high; even Heavenly Realm Kings had to bow their heads in deference.
This time, he would have the opportunity to witness the Sword Holder's combat prowess.
Princess Gong dared to let him unleash his might in 318 City, helping him accumulate regal authority. Her greatest trump card and confidence should be this Sword Holder with unfathomable combat power!
"Hoo..."
Chen Jiuyang felt the life essence continuously flowing into his body from the Yan Sheng Saber, pushing his cultivation steadily higher. He exhaled a turbid breath.
"Before I comprehended the Yuan Dao, I had already reached the Extreme Realm. To break through martial cultivation normally would be extremely difficult. With the Yan Sheng Saber in hand, it can help me improve my martial realm and cultivation."
"After comprehending the Yuan Dao, it became even more difficult to break through cultivation conventionally."
"I wonder if King Dai Xuluo and his elite troops this time can help me break through to the fifth level of the Earth Realm."
Chen Jiuyang's expression was somewhat dazed, feeling that the fortunes and misfortunes, gains and losses of all things in the world were truly hard to describe.
If he hadn't been deliberately made difficult by the personnel director of Fengcheng Medical College back then, he wouldn't have met Qiu Yihan at the affiliated hospital of Fengcheng Medical College. He wouldn't have participated in the Martial Rankings under Qiu Yihan's coercion, nor would he have obtained the Yan Sheng Saber and the Yan Sheng Method, making it impossible to reach this point in such a short time.
When he returned from the Sharp Blade Legion, he initially just wanted to get justice for his father, and then work as a doctor to earn money to give his family a slightly better life, and to not be bullied.
And now, he was the Qian King of Dragon Country, stationed in 318 City, holding the power of the Zhenxi Army on behalf of King Gong!
Looking back, everything in the world was a matter of fate.
"Reporting to King Qian, King Dai Xuluo is leading a hundred thousand elite troops to attack the north city wall where the Sword Holder of 318 City is stationed." A soldier immediately reported, "Please issue your orders, King Qian."
Chen Jiuyang slowly raised his saber, his expression solemn, and said, "First, activate the firearms to clear out some personnel."
"After the firearms are used, all martial artists will follow me out of the city to fight the enemy."
With the enemy outnumbering us, every available means must be used.
In this battle, Chen Jiuyang would either retreat successfully or die on the battlefield, turning into a handful of yellow sand.
"Yes, King Qian." The soldier immediately relayed Chen Jiuyang's orders to the command center via walkie-talkie.
Then, Chen Jiuyang led thousands of soldiers to the north city wall of 318 City.
"Wuwuwu!"
In the freezing weather of minus ten to twenty degrees Celsius, the howling cold wind and violent snow reduced visibility to less than ten meters.
"Rumble!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Firearms emerged from the city walls, launching missiles and bombarding King Dai Xuluo's army, which was an unknown distance away.
Only after the ammunition was depleted did Chen Jiuyang arrive at the north city wall.
The Sword Holder, Gong Luque, and Gong Liexian had already arrived.
"To catch the leader, one must first catch the king. Later, I will deal with King Dai Xuluo. King Qian, Luque, and Liexian, you will lead the soldiers to kill the enemy." The Sword Holder of 318 City said with a solemn expression.
He had not expected King Dai Xuluo to dare to initiate hostilities after the whereabouts of King Yan became unknown.
King Yan was the visible sky of Dragon Country. With this sky falling, all sorts of petty individuals from all directions would stir.
However, Dragon Country was no longer the Dragon Country of sixty years ago.
"All Dragon Country martial artists!" The Sword Holder of 318 City, with his hair and beard flying and his face flushed red, roared, "Follow me to defend our home and country! Every inch of Dragon Country's territory will not be yielded!"
Immediately, tens of thousands of Dragon Country martial artists leaped from the hundred-meter-high city wall.
"Rumble!"
Following him, tens of thousands of Dragon Country martial artists leaped off the city wall, all roaring in unison:
"To defend our home and country, we shall not falter!"
This roar echoed far and wide, igniting Chen Jiuyang's blood and surging his fighting spirit. Faint golden starlight emanated from his body, his blood boiling, roaring, and burning!
"Dong!"
Footsteps like the beat of a war drum approached from a kilometer away.
The Sword Holder's hair and beard stood on end, and his body was instantly enveloped in purple-gold true qi. His ancient clothes were transformed into dragon-patterned armor by the purple-gold true qi. The ancient long sword in his hand seemed to emit a dragon's roar. His ancient eyes shone brightly at this moment, and he said in a deep voice, "They are here! I will go first!"
"Bang—"
Holding his sword, the Sword Holder flew rapidly towards the enemy. Moments later.
"Boom!"
A terrifying explosion of true qi and a shockwave spread outwards. The Sword Holder must have engaged King Dai Xuluo.
Then, from a few hundred meters away, the advancing battle cries of the Indras God Nation martial artists could be heard.
"Weng!"
The Yan Sheng Saber hummed on its own. Chen Jiuyang took a deep breath, raised his saber towards the sky, then slowly lowered it, pointing the tip forward, and said calmly, "Follow me, King, to kill the enemy!"
Then, Chen Jiuyang, like a tiger leaping over a mountain or a dragon piercing the sky, charged forward, shouting, "Yuan Dao—Instant Light!"
Cold light flashed, and terrifying saber energy appeared, cleaving towards the clearly visible Indras God Nation martial artists ahead.
"Hong Ming!"
After this saber strike, the crisp shout of Gong Liexian, who was executing the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Spear technique, came from behind Chen Jiuyang.
"Kill!"
Then came the overwhelming roars and techniques of the Dragon Country martial artists.
Chen Jiuyang was like an unstoppable force. Anyone who appeared before him was cut down.
This battle was a life-or-death struggle, and our Dragon Country would surely win!
