Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The Xilin army advanced with iron cavalry in the lead, archers in the middle, light cavalry following, and infantry at the rear.

The Xilin marshal's chariot did not follow the iron cavalry at the front, but instead followed the infantry at the rear.

"Where is this place?"

Ross looked at the three sides of the treacherous mountains, the dense trees gently swaying in the wind, eerily quiet.

"Reporting to the marshal, this place is called Tieyuan Ridge, a strategic location between the border city of Shunyi and the main city of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Ross listened and took out a war map, carefully examining it.

He felt a little uneasy.

"Order the entire army to halt!"

"Marshal, what is this?" The black-robed man beside Ross looked puzzled: "Could it be that the marshal is worried about a trap? That lord has personally arrived in Shunyi, and Qin Shan is under his control. How could there be a problem?"

"In military operations, one must be cautious! Look at these soldiers, a million strong. This marshal must be responsible for them!" Ross narrowed his eyes, observing the surrounding mountains, and gradually frowned: "It's too quiet. That in itself is abnormal!"

The black-robed man paused: "Now, are we going to retreat?"

"No, send three thousand light cavalry to scout the way!"

Ross instructed.

…

At this moment, on the left side of Tieyuan Ridge, in the dense forest.

Jun Wuxie stared at the rear of the Xilin army, at the marshal's chariot, and said: "Ross is already suspicious. We must act before they can make an effective response, cut off the heavy cavalry's retreat, and prevent their rear troops from advancing to support!"

Ji Yinlan nodded and immediately activated the wartime communication jade talisman, saying: "Xuanyi soldiers, listen to the order! Use trebuchets as a signal to launch an attack on the Xilin cavalry!"

"This subordinate obeys!"

…

Responses kept coming from inside the jade talisman.

"Commander Zhou, you immediately relay the order to the soldiers lurking in the entrance area of Tieyuan Ridge. Be sure to intercept the Xilin reinforcements, isolate the 200,000 heavy cavalry, and lay the foundation for the Xuanyi army's successful encirclement and suppression of the Xilin iron cavalry!"

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"

Commander Zhou quickly left.

"Trebuchets, armor-piercing crossbows, prepare! Fire!"

A moment later, Ji Yinlan issued the attack order through the communication jade talisman.

Rumble!

In an instant, from the mountains on three sides of Tieyuan Ridge, huge round stones whistled through the air, drawing long parabolas, and rained down on the heavy cavalry that had completely entered the encirclement.

The sudden attack shocked the Xilin heavy cavalry. The Lionmane Horses neighed, and they were thrown into chaos.

Boom!

Huge stones fell, directly smashing the cavalry who could not dodge into a bloody pulp.

The ground shook violently, with potholes everywhere.

Swoosh!

Armor-piercing crossbow bolts, emitting sharp whistling sounds, roared out from the mountains and forests, densely packed, shooting towards the Xilin cavalry like raindrops.

Puff!

A large number of heavy cavalry, whose iron armor was said to be impenetrable, were pierced by the armor-piercing crossbow bolts.

In one round of trebuchet and crossbow fire, thousands of iron cavalry fell into pools of blood.

The whole scene was in chaos.

"Don't panic! Quickly disperse, raise your shields to prevent being shot!"

The Xilin cavalry commander's voice was like a bell, shaking the mountains and forests.

He was fierce. Facing the incoming boulders, he blasted them apart with a single punch.

With a wave of the spear in his hand, the adamantine crossbow bolts were knocked away.

"Commander, we've been ambushed. The Great Zhou army is in the mountains and forests. It's difficult for our cavalry to get close in a short time. What should we do?"

"Wait! The marshal won't sit idly by in the rear. Our million-strong Xilin army will be invincible. How can the sick men of Great Zhou stop us?"

At this time, a large number of Xuanyi soldiers appeared from the mountains and forests.

"Look, it's the Great Zhou's strongest Xuanyi Legion!"

"What formation are they using? Why are they so dispersed?"

The Xilin cavalry were very surprised to see the Xuanyi army in groups of three, very scattered.

Usually, in large-scale battles, various formations are formed.

In large-scale wars, the smallest battle formation consists of thousands of people.

A group of three, what kind of formation is this?

"Well done! Cavalry, listen to the order! Charge! Crush the sick men of Great Zhou!"

The Xilin cavalry commander roared, wild and bloodthirsty, raised the spear in his hand, and drove the Lionmane Horse to rush madly towards the Xuanyi army.

Some Xilin cavalry wanted to gather into a formation.

As a result, boulders immediately whistled in the sky, startling them into dodging repeatedly, and they were instantly separated again.

After they separated, the trebuchets stopped, and the crossbow bolts no longer fired.

"Open the crossbows, mounted archery!"

The Xilin cavalry commander commanded while charging.

Immediately, thousands of Xilin iron cavalry took out the bows and crossbows from the sides of their horses and shot at the Xuanyi army.

However, the Xuanyi army was too dispersed. Their shots had to be accurate, otherwise it would be difficult to create the effect of random arrows killing.

Furthermore, the Xuanyi army had shields.

Seeing the Xilin iron cavalry using bows and crossbows, they raised their Xuanyi iron shields.

Clang!

The dense arrows all shot on the Xuanyi iron shields, making dense metallic vibrations.

The Xuanyi iron shields were extremely strong, and the arrows did not leave any traces on them.

The Xilin iron cavalry was charging, and the Xuanyi army's three-person teams were also charging.

Two people were in front, and the person holding the rapid-firing crossbow was behind, in an inverted triangle formation, constantly charging towards the iron cavalry.

The entire Tieyuan Ridge was full of such scenes, endless, stretching for dozens of miles!

…

In the rear of the Xilin army, Ross's face was livid.

"Quickly order the heavy infantry to break through the defense line, advance forward, and use heavy armor shields to cover the cavalry's retreat!"

"Trebuchets, heavy crossbows, prepare, counterattack the targets in the mountains on three sides, suppress the Great Zhou's trebuchets and heavy crossbows! Light infantry, the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth, six major school lieutenant camps, 60,000 troops on the left and right each, immediately attack the mountains on both sides, annihilate the Great Zhou army, and cut off the Xuanyi army's reinforcements!"

"Keber!"

"This subordinate is here!"

"Mayser!"

"This subordinate is here!"

"Aaron, Koso, Donner…"

"This subordinate is here!"

"You quickly kill into the mountains on three sides and kill the Great Zhou generals!"

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"

More than a dozen strong Xilin army members rushed towards the mountains on three sides one after another.

They soared into the sky, their true energy surging, their eyes as cold as knives, gliding across the sky like eagles.

"Hmph! Great Zhou, what can you use to fight against my Xilin army?" Ross said confidently, looking at the vast battlefield: "The mountains and rivers of Great Zhou are beautiful, but they are about to be broken, leaving an indelible mark of my Xilin!"

"Finally, someone is willing to come and deliver their heads."

In the mountains and forests, Jun Wuxie saw more than a dozen military experts from Xilin soaring into the sky.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a cold smile.

He soared into the sky like a humanoid beast, his golden blood energy covering the sky and the sun.

Like a bright sun across the sky, he instantly rushed in front of the Xilin general named Keber, and under the power of the Dragon-Tiger Force, the Fierce Tiger Fist Seal shook the mountains and fields!

Just one punch!

That Keber, at the peak of the Star River Realm, had his defensive martial skills, armor, and chest all pierced through, exploding into a cloud of blood mist in the air, only able to let out a short scream.

"Who is that person?"

Ross saw such a scene from the commander's chariot in the rear of the army, and his pupils shrank violently!

"Marshal, he is Jun Wuxie, who killed your noble son!"

The black-robed man said, his eyes also filled with shock.

It seems that Qin Shan has failed?

Not only has the Great Zhou army set up an ambush here, but Jun Wuxie has also appeared.

All of this shows that either Qin Shan has betrayed them, or Qin Shan's plan has failed!

"He! Is Jun Wuxie!"

Ross gritted his teeth, his five fingers tightly gripping the handrail, causing the golden iron handrail to deform constantly in his hand.

He stared intently at the sky above the battlefield, at the young man whose whole body was glowing with golden light, like a great sun in the sky!

At this moment, the Xilin generals turned back one after another, treating Jun Wuxie as a common target of attack.

More than a dozen people launched a fierce attack from all directions.

"Since you have come here today, don't even think about leaving without leaving more than half of your battle losses behind!"

Jun Wuxie was very confident. He saw the strength and fighting will of the Xuanyi army, which really shocked him.

Facing the wolf-like Xilin iron cavalry, the Xuanyi army attacked in infantry formation, in groups of three, without the slightest fear, and everyone's eyes were burning with strong faith.

He could feel the blood in their bodies burning and boiling!

"Shameless boasting, boy, I'll kill you first!"

The Xilin general's war blade was as bright as snow, slashing out a hundred-foot blade of light, cutting through the sky!

Jun Wuxie's eyes were cold. He stood in the high sky, his footsteps unmoved, his hands spread out, and the Dragon-Tiger Fist Seal shook the ten directions!

Every time he threw a punch, a real dragon and fierce tiger rushed out, attacking the enemies in all directions!

All the blade lights, fist energies, spear lights, and sword energies all collapsed under the Dragon-Tiger Fist Seal one after another.

With a puff.

The Xilin general named Mayser was pierced through with one punch, and his heart was shaken out, exploding in the air, instantly dying!

Next.

Jun Wuxie walked like a dragon and moved like a tiger, his speed was extremely fast, like a golden streamer shuttling between heaven and earth.

Aaron, Koso, Donner, etc., were all blasted to pieces in the air.

In a short moment!

All thirteen Xilin generals were wiped out!

"Does your Xilin have anyone else who can fight?" Jun Wuxie stood in the high sky, golden light flowing, every hair shimmering with golden light, looking down on the Xilin army, and said coldly: "Ross, I wonder how much you, the Xilin marshal, weigh. I want to take your head. Are you willing to come and die?"

Ross stared at Jun Wuxie coldly, without saying a word, the corners of his eyes twitching non-stop.

As the commander of the Zhou campaign, he naturally could not easily duel with others on the battlefield!

But this person in front of him killed his son and also killed his thirteen capable generals. How could he endure this?

A woman in a black robe walked out.

She stepped into the void and ascended, slowly lifting the hood of her black robe, revealing a head of long black hair and defined features. Her blue eyes were filled with icy killing intent.

"Linna, are you going to take action?"

Ross was slightly surprised.

"Madam once instructed Linna to protect the young master. Linna failed in her duty, causing the young master to die tragically at this person's hands! Today, Linna will cut off this person's head and present it to Madam as an apology!"

After Linna finished speaking, she stepped towards Jun Wuxie in the air.

During this process, a black-red mist rose from her body.

Beneath her feet, runes lit up, like evil flowers blooming piece by piece, instantly forming a rune array.

"Golden Throne, slumbering in the Netherworld, I summon you in the name of the Black Demon..."

Linna's hands formed secret hand seals in front of her, and she chanted a spell in Xilin language.

She stepped out of the array, and brilliant, dazzling golden light bloomed from within it.

At the same time, an intense aura of death erupted like a mountain torrent.

A blood-red altar slowly rose from the rune array.

On the altar was a huge and exquisite golden throne.

On the throne sat a radiant golden skeleton.

This skeleton leaned back on the golden throne, its right hand supporting its temple, its left hand holding a golden battle axe covered in blood-colored grooves, emanating a powerful, evil aura!
