NOVPUBThe armies were on the verge of a clash.
Flesh and blood flew in all directions.
The cacophony of killing shouts melded with screams, becoming the main melody of the battlefield.
Compared to the Divine Martial Army, the Gu Family Army had the advantage of occupying the city walls, enabling them to press down from high above.
From the moment the two armies engaged in battle,
the Gu Family Army had a certain advantage; their casualties were far less severe than those of the Divine Martial Army.
However,
Gu Yang’s face showed little joy at this sight.
Because he understood
that all of this was only temporary.
The battle between the two armies
was not only a comparison of troop strength but also a contest of the top fighters’ power.
Now on the Divine Martial Army’s side, the real powerhouses had yet to take action. If those existences were to make their move, Beimen Pass might not be able to stop them.
As expected,
shortly after the battle began,
Pei Jing directly ordered an assault. Suddenly, several individuals burst forth, unleashing powerful blood energy as they charged toward the city gates, intending to smash through with brute force and allow the army to sweep in.
"Refining Organ Martial Artists!"
Gu Yang’s gaze sharpened, and he immediately ordered a sniper attack.
Instantly,
many arrows, gleaming with light, were fired toward those few Refining Organ Realm Martial Artists. The latter either struck out with both palms or used their weapons to block, shattering all incoming arrows.
In a mere moment, as several Refining Organ Realm Martial Artists were about to reach the gates, a terrifying aura locked onto them—an arrow that seemed to slice through the air, shooting toward them like a long rainbow.
"Kill!"
A Refining Organ Realm Martial Artist suddenly struck forward with both palms, his powerful gusts stirring up the sounds of wind and thunder. Then, in the next instant, a rainbow light shattered the void and headed straight for him, completely ignoring his force and piercing through his palms.
Blood splattered.
The intense pain caused that Refining Organ Martial Artist’s complexion to change, and he explosively retreated. At the same time, his blood energy formed Protective Gang Qi to shield himself.
However,
at the moment when the Protective Gang Qi rose, two more arrows arrived one after the other.
The first arrow shattered the Protective Gang Qi.
And when the second arrow arrived,
"Puchi!"
Flesh was penetrated.
An arrow passed straight through his chest, and the man looked down at the arrow feathers protruding from his chest in utter disbelief.
This arrow
had completely shattered his heart.
Even for a Refining Organ Realm Martial Artist with strong vitality, they could not be undying. A fatal injury was just as likely to kill.
As his life force ebbed rapidly, the light faded from the eyes of that Refining Organ Realm Martial Artist, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Everything seemed prolonged, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.
Following this,
several more arrows were shot, forcefully pushing back the remaining Refining Organ Realm Martial Artists.
On the city walls, Gu Yi, holding a longbow and with an indifferent expression, watched the scene below. He did not take action again, as the previous killing of a Refining Organ Martial Artist had caught the enemy off guard.
If he were to act now, at best he would kill one or two more Refining Organ Realm Martial Artists.
Instead of taking action,
it was better not to.
Such deterrence would be sufficient to make these warriors hesitate to press on.
"Such robust blood energy, the Five Internal Organs at Perfection, who would have thought that the Gu Family Army housed such an expert!"
Jiang Ning stared intently at Gu Yi, the surging blood energy of the latter stirring a sense of eagerness within him.
He had not expected
that the Gu Family Army would possess such a foundation.

Originally, one thought that within the vast White Stone Dao, the only person worth noting was the Domineering Blade Gu Qingfeng, who was suspected to be a top True Intent Master.
But unexpectedly.
Apart from the Domineering Blade, there were other formidable opponents.
A Little Master with Perfection in the Refining Organ Five Realms!
Just one step away, he could step into the true realm of a Grandmaster.
Such a Martial Artist, even within the Tianyang Sword Sect, could be considered quite impressive.
"Three Martial Artists with Perfection in the Refining Organ Realm defending, no wonder Gu Yang is confident in contending with my Divine Martial Army. Now that the Domineering Blade has not arrived, we have no need to continue wasting time.
Next, please let the elders take action, break through the enemy’s defenses, and completely take down Beimen Pass!"
Pei Jing looked at the several figures on the city wall. Their powerful aura clearly demonstrated the level of their strength.
Refining Organ Five Realms with Perfection!
And there were three of them!
Such a force was remarkably astonishing.
At least since Pei Jing had entered Taishan County, the number of cities that could boast so many strong defenders was few and far between, and it was no wonder Gu Yang had the confidence to withstand the Divine Martial Army.
If it weren’t for several elders of the Tianyang Sword Sect stationed here, taking advantage of the geographical benefits of Beimen Pass, and then these strongmen coordinating in defense of the city, the Divine Martial Army might not really have much chance of victory.
However—
These were all just hypotheses.
In fact.
Our side has three Magicians of the God Fusion Realm stationed here.
With this in mind.
The mere Refining Organ Martial Artists are nothing, of course.
"Let’s not argue, you two—the three Refining Organ Realm Martial Artists are mine to deal with. Once we break through Beimen Pass, I don’t need a single one of the hundred thousand soldiers of the Gu Family Army!"
Jiang Ning spoke first, looking in the direction of Beimen Pass. A flash of bloodthirsty color appeared and vanished in the depths of his eyes.
Hearing this.
Zuo Qiu and Cui Mingfeng exchanged glances and nodded as well.
"Alright!" 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
"Then let’s leave them to Elder Jiang!"
In their conversation, it seemed as though Beimen Pass was theirs for the taking.
Upon hearing this.
Jiang Ning immediately smiled, and then he was seen stepping into the air and swooping towards the city gate like a wild goose.
His terrifying and chilly aura erupted, causing the temperature in the air to drop sharply.
"Manor Master, be careful!"
Gu Yi’s complexion changed, he gathered a tremendous force in both palms and struck out, aiming to knock Jiang Ning down.
However, the latter, facing this strike, showed a disdainful smile on his face. While still in the air, he casually threw out a palm.
The two palms met.
Gu Yi’s body was struck as if hit by thunder and was immediately sent flying.
Jiang Ning, on the other hand, didn’t retreat half a step and landed directly on the city wall.
He stood with his hands behind his back, and his fearful aura was so intimidating that the surrounding soldiers dared not step forward.
At this moment.
Jiang Ning’s gaze fell on Gu Yang, who was at the forefront, his eyes flashed a bloody red, and his face showed a ferocious expression.
"Heh heh, you are Gu Yang?"
"Domineering Blade Gu Qingfeng killed an elder of our Tianyang Sword Sect. Now I will kill you first as the interest, and then I will exterminate the entire Gu Family Manor to avenge our Tianyang Sword Sect elder!"
As Jiang Ning spoke, his right hand struck out suddenly, a terrifying force surged forth, causing Gu Yang’s expression to change.
His Perfection in the Blood Refining Realm Cultivation felt utterly useless under such power. As the cold and terrifying aura swept over him, all the blood in his body seemed to stall, and his body could hardly move an inch.
Just when Gu Yang thought he was going to die there, he heard the sound of a blade being unsheathed behind him, and then saw a long blade drawn from its scabbard.
"Clang!"
A blood-colored blade light illuminated the long sky, accompanied by an overwhelmingly domineering Blade Intent.
