The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 228: Dominating the Battlefield

Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Dominating the Battlefield

Seven thousand White-robed Army soldiers, with the momentum to brook no opposition, charged forward, their Invincible Army Soul taking shape and causing men and horses to scatter and dust to fly as they advanced.

The sudden emergence of the White-robed Army amidst the Black Dragon Kingdom’s million-strong force was incredibly eye-catching, sparking heated discussions among the soldiers of Yuguan City perched atop the cliffs.

"What army is that?"

"Reinforcements?"

"Reinforcements my foot, the only ally, Canglan Kingdom, has already been conquered by His Highness King Yue, where else could we have reinforcements from?"

"So impressive, just a few thousand men dare to break into an army of millions, truly brave!"

"Don’t relax, the enemy troops below are going to charge up!"

The archers kept firing their arrows, while other soldiers cast various magic spells. Unfortunately, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Kingdom wore black armors with extremely strong defense, and they kept climbing up despite being bombarded with attacks.

If things continued like this, the enemy troops would scale the walls in less than half a minute.

In the sky, Bao Zhendan had already transformed into a half-beast form, his physique massive and his armor seemingly unable to contain his bristling mane, ready to burst at any moment. His face was covered in hair, his pupils had turned a shocking green, and his aura was several times stronger than before.

Bao Zhendan and Guan Yu also noticed the appearance of the White-robed Army, which was why they hadn’t immediately engaged in battle.

"Tsk tsk, didn’t expect you to call for reinforcements, but all of them at the Foundation Establishment level of cultivation, thousands of them think to charge through my million-strong army?" Bao Zhendan said with a mocking smile.

Guan Yu was also curious about which power the White-robed Army belonged to, but he didn’t think they could make it to support Yuguan City.

Thousands of soldiers at the Foundation Establishment level facing a million at the energy refining realm was surely a path to death!

The gap between the Foundation Establishment and energy refining realms truly couldn’t be compensated for by mere numbers.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the White-robed Army, which could traverse even more dangerous beast tides than this million-strong army!

"Unbeatable! Invincible in every direction!"

Atop the chariot in the center of the White-robed Army, Chen Qingzhi held his sword high and yelled fervently, his voice emotionally stirring, causing the blood of the White-robed Army soldiers to surge, as they shouted with bulging necks and flushed faces.

The momentum radiating from these seven thousand men shook the entire battlefield. Even the soldiers on the cliff turned unconsciously to look back, witnessing the White-robed Army’s Invincible Army Soul becoming more solidified, like a shark fin slicing through the sea, sending Black Dragon Kingdom soldiers flying and their screams mingling with the battle cries, stirring up the wind and clouds.

"So powerful..."

Guan Yu’s pupils shrank as he murmured to himself, clearly having never seen such a tangible Army Soul before.

Bao Zhendan was also dazzled by the performance of the White-robed Army. His eyes filled with murderous intent and shadow, he immediately leaned forward and charged at the White-robed Army, wanting to annihilate this unusual force.

Guan Yu hurriedly grabbed his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade and followed, as it was clear the White-robed Army had come to help him, and naturally he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

At this moment, Bao Zhendan’s strength had doubled, and though his body was bulkier, his speed was even faster. He covered the distance of a thousand meters in such a short time that Guan Yu couldn’t catch up.

"A bunch of nobodies dares to oppose my Black Dragon Kingdom!"

Bao Zhendan said with a furious laugh, the wild wind pulling at his mane, revealing his fierce features with clarity.

Chen Qingzhi remained unperturbed. An Illusory Realm’s demon king couldn’t shatter their Invincible Army Soul with one strike, let alone Bao Zhendan, who still had an insurmountable distance to reach the peak of the Transforming Void Realm.

The White-robed Army continued to fight bravely, ignoring Bao Zhendan descending from the sky.

Boom—

Bao Zhendan’s blade struck the Invincible Army Soul enveloping the White-robed Army, and the resulting shockwave unleashed a wild storm, blowing away the surrounding Black Dragon Kingdom soldiers and creating utter chaos.

Then Bao Zhendan’s face dramatically changed, and the next second he was flung away by the Invincible Army Soul.

This scene left Guan Yu with his eyes wide open in disbelief. What was the origin of this army?

With just a few thousand soldiers at the Foundation Establishment level, they actually managed to repel a warrior at the Transforming Void Realm, which was truly unimaginable!

"Could it be His Highness who sent them?"

Guan Yu instinctively thought, but he quickly dismissed this idea from his mind, as the army was clearly an elite force, not something that could be trained in just a few months.

However, what he didn’t know was that the White-robed Army was indeed sent by Qin Jun.

...

Above the endless wasteland, the Dragonrise Legion advanced swiftly, kicking up clouds of dust as if an earthquake had hit.

On top of the Destiny Chariot, a bored Qin Jun suddenly asked Evening Star, "Speaking of which, doesn’t advancing a kingdom to an Imperial Dynasty require a Divine Beast? Do you think Roaring Sky Dog, Daji, or Li would qualify?"

As soon as these words came out, both Roaring Sky Dog and Daji twitched at the corners of their mouths while Li’s eyes widened in astonishment, looking exceedingly cute.

The others were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

Evening Star shook his head with a smile, "Your Highness, not just anyone can become a Divine Beast. Only demon beasts that have been baptized by the qi movement of heaven and earth qualify. Roaring Sky Dog and Daji are merely demon kings, and although Li is of the Dragon Clan, very few in the Dragon Clan today have received such a baptism, not to mention that Li is still underage."

Qin Jun came to a realization, it seemed he had been overthinking it.

Even though the Roaring Sky Dog is called a Divine Beast in Journey to the West, this world does not recognize it. And as for Daji, that’s even more ludicrous, just a fox demon.

"The Black Dragon Kingdom has been rumored to have traces of a Divine Beast recently," Jia Xun said hesitantly, immediately grabbing Qin Jun’s attention.

Black Dragon Kingdom?

Qin Jun stroked his chin thoughtfully. To him, the Black Dragon Kingdom, daring to wage war against the Qianyue Kingdom, was already prey.

Soon, an idea suddenly emerged in Qin Jun’s mind, making his eyes light up.

"Let’s split our forces. I’ll take some people to the Black Dragon Kingdom, and the rest will join the legion rushing to the Qianyue Kingdom," Qin Jun proposed with a smile, to the shock of everyone present.

Jia Xun quickly advised, "Those are just rumors, Your Highness, you shouldn’t take them seriously!"

"No worries, I’ll just go and kill the emperor of the Black Dragon Kingdom, and then they will naturally have to withdraw their troops," Qin Jun said with a smile.

Killing the emperor of the Black Dragon Kingdom now means that by the time he returns to ascend the throne, the Black Dragon Kingdom will definitely have chosen a new emperor. Kill him again.

That’s equivalent to completing two percent of the Slay Hundred Emperors mission!

A stroke of genius!

Qin Jun couldn’t help but applaud himself. The reason he didn’t send Red Boy and the others on their own was that the task wouldn’t be considered complete unless he did the killing personally.

"This..." Jia Xun was shocked by Qin Jun’s unorthodox idea too.

It must be said, this was quite a clever move.

The Black Dragon Kingdom was different from the Canglan Kingdom. If Qin Jun led the Dragonrise Legion directly into battle against the Black Dragon Kingdom, the Qianyue Kingdom would probably not hold out and would be the first to fall.

"Alright, that settles it!"

Qin Jun stood up and said with a smile, scanning the group as he pondered which people to take with him.

Red Boy and Wujing were a must; their presence was reassuring.

The battlefield at the Qianyue Kingdom also needed strong fighters to turn the tide.

"Evening Star, Yuanba, Xu Guiku, stay with me to stabilize the crisis in the Qianyue Kingdom. The rest will follow His Highness, how about that?" Evening Star stroked his beard and suggested with a smile.

Li Yuanba was immediately unwilling, but Qin Jun also felt he was better utilized on the battlefield, so he could only persuade him to stay.

In the end, Qin Jun set off for the Black Dragon Kingdom with Red Boy, Sha Wujing, Roaring Sky Dog, Daji, and Li, while the rest joined the Dragonrise Legion in their march towards the Qianyue Kingdom.
