NOVPUBAfter two Innate God Fusion Realm Magicians fell, the Evil Spirit within them resurrected, causing immediate chaos within the Divine Martial Army.
For ordinary people, an Evil Spirit is an irresistible existence.
Such beings are almost immortal.
Thus,
The moment the Evil Spirits resurrected, they directly charged into the Divine Martial Army, brutally slaughtering the soldiers, devouring their flesh and blood, and instilling unnamed fear in everyone else.
This scene tarnished Pei Jing’s complexion and visibly paled him slightly.
Clearly,
Gu Qingfeng’s strength exceeded his expectations.
With the fall of three elders from the Tianyang Sword Sect and the revival of two Evil Spirits, Pei Jing realized that his cause was lost.
In this battle,
He had no chance of winning.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng advancing towards him, Pei Jing immediately ordered a retreat while also having people block Gu Qingfeng’s path, buying himself a chance to escape.
"Since the Divine Martial King has come, why leave so soon!"
Gu Qingfeng laughed loudly, followed by a long howl. His physical strength burst forth ferociously, sweeping across the battlefield like a furnace under the sun, spreading a terrifying might that left the other Divine Martial Army soldiers pale and fearful to step forward.
"Boom—"
Gu Qingfeng’s body shook, and he suddenly shot up, then descended with the force of Mount Taishan.
In an instant,
The ground shook.
The earth cracked.
Within ten zhang, all soldiers staggered, unable to stand firm.
Despite this,
Gu Qingfeng seemed oblivious.
He took a step and covered dozens of zhang in distance, appearing in front of Pei Jing in just a few breaths.
Pei Jing only felt the ground tremble, his horse spooked and reared up, but with a forceful squeeze of his legs, the frightened animal calmed down.
"Gu Qingfeng..."
Pei Jing looked at the man before him, his face unusually calm. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"If Mr. Gu is willing to join forces with me, we could govern the world together after fighting for it in the future!"
At this point,
Pei Jing knew he had capsized in the gutter.
In this battle,
Not only would ten thousand Divine Martial Army soldiers fall here, but he himself likely would not escape.
At this juncture, Pei Jing had to try every last possibility.
After all—
To come this far,
Pei Jing had spent over twenty years.
Seeing his power growing day by day, he was naturally unwilling to perish here.
At the same time,
Pei Jing regretted not being cautious enough this time, not leading the massive army in person, the situation wouldn’t have become this severe.
The loss of ten thousand Divine Martial Army soldiers was a small matter,
He commanded millions under him, a loss of ten thousand wouldn’t affect the foundation.
Moreover,
If he controlled millions of troops, Pei Jing wouldn’t need to fear a Great Grandmaster.
But now it was too late for regrets.
Gu Qingfeng was right before him, and even as an Innate Grandmaster himself, Pei Jing had no courage to fight.
The difference was too great,
So vast it drove men to despair.
Hearing Pei Jing’s words, Gu Qingfeng shook his head and chuckled.
"You can’t even conquer White Stone Dao, what makes you think you can compete for the world? There’s nothing to say about victors and losers. If this is your last word, then I have noted it!"
As he finished speaking,
Gu Qingfeng slashed with his sword.
The Domineering Blade tore through the sky, the blood-colored Blade Qi from the Evil Slayer Blade illuminating everything, a crisis of death surged through Pei Jing’s heart, he bellowed angrily, his True Qi and blood erupted, and he launched both palms towards Gu Qingfeng.
"Boom—"
The two forces collided, and the latter annihilated effortlessly.
```
The Blade Qi, breaking through the Protective Gang Qi, swept across Pei Jing’s body, slaying dozens of his followers on the spot.
On the ground.
The Blade Qi transformed into a ravine.
Pei Jing stood upright on his horse, unflinching.
After a while.
A line of blood trickled down from his forehead, and in a moment, the Divine Martial King split in two, perishing right there.
This scene.
Made the remaining generals of the Divine Martial Army feel as if their souls were leaving their bodies.
Pei Jing was dead!!
This was something no one had anticipated.
Before coming to White Stone Dao, everyone believed that victory was certain; after all, their side had not only a hundred thousand elite troops but also three powerful fighters from the Tianyang Sword Sect.
Such a force, to say nothing of White Stone Dao, could count their equals in all of Guangyang Prefecture on one hand.
Originally, the court’s army in Guangyang Prefecture only amounted to three hundred thousand, with fewer Great Grandmasters and God Fusion Realm experts than in the Divine Martial Army.
Who could have expected.
That the strength of White Stone Dao would be so formidable.
No—
More accurately, the strength of this Domineering Blade was so formidable.
A Great Grandmaster!
This was a true Great Grandmaster!
With three strikes, he killed three God Fusion Realm elders of the Tianyang Sword Sect; with one strike, he killed the Grandmaster Realm Divine Martial King Pei Jing—such strength was indeed terrifying.
At that moment.
Atop Beimen Pass.
Seeing this, Gu Yang immediately ordered the city gates to be opened and personally led the troops to charge, reaching Gu Qingfeng in no time, lifting up Pei Jing’s corpse, and shouting angrily.
"Divine Martial King Pei Jing is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Divine Martial King Pei Jing is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Divine Martial King Pei Jing is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!"
Three loud shouts echoed throughout the army.
In an instant.
Seeing the body of Pei Jing, the remaining Divine Martial Army showed a look of despair and involuntarily dropped their weapons to cease resistance.
However.
As the Divine Martial Army ceased resistance, two revived Evil Spirits continued to slaughter, causing considerable disorder.
Gu Qingfeng promptly took action, completely suppressing the two Evil Spirits, and Gu Yang immediately ordered people to bring the Golden Coffins, sealing the suppressed Evil Spirits thoroughly.
With this.
The battle was truly over.
——
Inside Beimen Pass.
In the temporary government office.
Gu Yang’s robe was stained with blood, and he had no time to change, but his face was unrestrainably joyful.
When he saw Gu Qingfeng, he bowed deeply.
"Father, I honor you!"
"There’s no need for such formalities between us; speak your mind."
Gu Qingfeng glanced at him, speaking indifferently.
Gu Yang then straightened up, his face full of smiles: "With the fall of Divine Martial King Pei Jing and nearly half of the hundred thousand Divine Martial Army surrendering, our Gu Family Army has indeed won a great victory.
Father, what do you think we should do next?"
"Do you not already have an idea in mind?"
Gu Qingfeng countered.
Hearing this.
Gu Yang did not hesitate and nodded directly: "Son thinks that now, as the court’s army in Guangyang Prefecture has just suffered a defeat and we have just won a significant victory, why not take the opportunity to seize the whole Guangyang Prefecture.
With father’s strength as a Great Grandmaster, I believe there is no one in Guangyang Prefecture who can oppose you.
As for those Martial World sects, they are but weeds on the wall; with you here, I believe none would dare to cause much upheaval!"
Riding the momentum of a great victory.
Annexing Guangyang Prefecture.
This was Gu Yang’s next objective.
