Just as the million-man army of the Jian Dynasty was about to launch a charge, Li Chen stood poised in the air, blocking their path.
Pei Xiong pointed his blade at Li Chen and shouted angrily, "Are you Li Chen, the one who killed the Third Prince Jian Qianqiu?"
Li Chen’s gaze was as sharp as lightning as he replied firmly, "That’s right, I am Li Chen. Are you here to et your end as well?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s retort, Pei Xiong and the others were initially stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Li Chen, you really know how to joke. I admit you’ve got so skills. But if you think you alone can withstand my Jian Dynasty’s million-man army, isn’t that too far-fetched?"
"Why waste words with this rascal, Great General? Let go and capture him!"
Before Pei Xiong could respond, a bearded warrior galloped forward.
His na was Hu Lei, the vanguard under Pei Xiong’s command. Born with innate divine strength, he could catch lightning with his bare hands and cleave the heavens.
Pei Xiong also wanted to test Li Chen’s prowess, so he didn’t refuse Hu Lei’s request.
"Alright, General Hu, go ahead. This person is cunning; be extra cautious!"
Seeing Li Chen as just a young junior, Hu Lei felt contemptuous, casually responding before urging his mount forward to attack Li Chen at top speed.
His steed was a fifth-level demon beast, the Heavenly Horse, capable of breaking fifty tis the sound barrier in an instant. To most present, Hu Lei and his mount were re blurs across the sky.
Witnessing this, the morale of the Jian Dynasty soared.
Commander Pei Xiong gave a loud order, "Beat the drums to boost General Hu’s morale!"
Imdiately, the massive drums, as large as soccer fields, resonated like rolling thunder, as winds and clouds surged.
anwhile, the people of the Fla Dragon Dynasty’s hearts pounded in their throats.
The enemy’s aggressive advance hadn’t even t resistance yet, and already they were showing overwhelming strength.
If Li Chen couldn’t hold them back, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yet, Li Chen stood calmly, hands behind his back, quietly observing the incoming enemy, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.
"Hmph, re ants dare to send themselves to their deaths?"
After saying this, Li Chen flicked his finger, forming a sword shadow in the sky.
The sword shadow shot forth like a dazzling white rainbow, like a cot streaking towards the moon.
"Crack!"
"Ah!"
In just a single encounter, the previously overbearing and arrogant Hu Lei scread horribly.
Li Chen’s sword intent pierced through his forehead and exploded out the back of his head, shattering it like a ripe waterlon.
In an instant, blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, a grueso sight.
Even the fifth-level demon beast, the Heavenly Horse beneath him, couldn’t withstand such terrifying sword intent. It let out a despairing shriek and collapsed dead with blood streaming from its seven orifices.
"Hiss!"
At this scene, everyone took a sharp breath.
Instantly, the battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
Hu Lei, a master at the Nascent Soul Late Stage Peak with innate divine strength and the speed advantage of the Heavenly Horse, was killed by Li Chen with a re flick. This was monstrously unbelievable!
Seeing Li Chen’s victory, the Fla Dragon Dynasty erupted into cheers like a tidal wave.
The previously plumting morale began to rise slowly.
Many now viewed Li Chen as their savior.
However, many still remained highly pessimistic.
After all, Hu Lei was just a minor vanguard general. In the Jian Dynasty’s million-man army, there were at least a thousand like him, if not more—hardly worth ntioning.
Nevertheless, Li Chen’s decisive victory made many in the Fla Dragon Dynasty catch a glimpse of hope for survival against the odds.
The Fla Dragon Dynasty’s cheers rose like a tsunami, while Jian Dynasty’s morale was severely dampened.
The cheers ant to boost their morale still echoed in the sky, yet their vanguard was already slain—it was awkward, to say the least.
Pei Xiong looked around and commanded with a shout,
"Who dares to fight next and capture the traitor Li Chen?"
"I’ll go!"
This ti, the one volunteering was Mad Shark, one of Pei Xiong’s Four Great Vajra, a formidable half-step God Transformation Realm expert. Much stronger than Hu Lei had been.
Pei Xiong loudly approved, "Good," and ordered the drums to rally morale once again.
Imdiately, the thunderous drumbeats echoed across the sky.
Mad Shark launched his attack with a killer move, creating a whirlwind that threatened to sweep all into destruction, charging towards Li Chen.
Seeing this, Li Chen’s brow furrowed slightly.
Mad Shark’s Gang wind was incredibly solid, almost tangible. His finger-flick sword intent could not defeat it.
Considering this, Li Chen didn’t hesitate, reaching out and shouting angrily:
"Sword, co!"
The Seven-star Dragon Abyss pierced through the void, landing steadily in Li Chen’s hand.
Li Chen gripped it tightly with his five fingers, unleashing a powerful slash.
"Slash!"
The sword shadow, like a dragon, swooped down fiercely.
"Boom!"
The two ultimate attacks collided violently, like a billion-ton nuclear bomb exploding on the spot, raising a mushroom cloud that covered the sky.
"Crack!"
A brilliant sword light streaked through the sky like lightning, stretching towards the horizon.
"Such terrifying sword intent!"
Mad Shark’s eyes widened in terror, blood oozing from his seven orifices. After uttering his final words, his entire body detonated into a bloody ss, a scene too horrific to behold.
anwhile, Li Chen remained standing in mid-air in his blue attire, with a faint smile, seemingly mocking the Jian Dynasty’s lack of worthy opponents.
Another triumphant battle!
The Fla Dragon Dynasty’s morale surged once again.
Many soldiers began to shout at the top of their lungs in jubilation.
"Victory for the King!"
"Victory for the King!"
"Victory, victory!"
...
At this mont, Li Chen’s overwhelming strength won him the recognition of everyone in the Fla Dragon Dynasty.
After all, his rise had been too sudden, and as a loose cultivator ascending to the throne, many harbored grievances against him.
But with the threat of the Fla Dragon Dynasty’s destruction looming, no one had the heart to protest.
Now, with two successive victories over the enemy’s generals, Li Chen’s prestige had reached unprecedented heights, even surpassing that of the forr king, Guu Tianchun.
Dusting off his clothes, Li Chen’s gaze was as sharp as a knife, his eyes firm and bright as he stared at the Jian Dynasty’s army formation.
"Is your Jian Dynasty made up of nothing but rabble? Is there no one who can fight?"
