Magical Water Margin: They all call me brother

Page 118

But now, Ling Zhen has shattered two of their beliefs: first, ballistae and catapults simply cannot hit cannons; second, the walls of Daming Prefecture are not invincible.

Amidst this chaos, Song Jiang, along with Hua Rong and thirteen other generals, stormed into the brothel! Several thugs, seeing Song Jiang and Hua Rong's striking beauty, reached out to grab her, only to be struck precisely between the eyebrows by Hua Rong's arrows. In six seconds, she shot twelve men, plunging the entire brothel into chaos and panic!

"Everyone! Kneel on the ground! Hands behind your head! No noise! ​​Anyone who moves will die!!!"

Hua Rong drew his bow and shot down several patrons closest to the entrance, killing them on the spot. He then killed twelve more, quickly taking control of the brothel's entrance and ensuring that no one could escape. The other generals also rushed out to take control of the situation.

"Gentlemen, I, Song Jiang, have no past grievances or recent feuds with any of you. I have no intention of killing anyone. I only wish to borrow your restaurant. If you stay here obediently, everyone can live."

Song Jiang coldly surveyed his surroundings, his terrifying spiritual energy sweeping across the area, completely intimidating everyone. The fourteen men controlled the brothel for several tens of minutes, allowing the five hundred elite warriors they had selected to rush in one after another from the narrow tunnel, filling the courtyard, the room, and even spilling onto the street.

Seeing that the people were rushing over, Song Jiang kept his word and let the entire brothel go. He then led thirteen leaders and five hundred elite soldiers directly to Liang Zhongshu's government office!

At this moment, the autumn rains of the past few days have soaked through Daming Prefecture in Beijing. The night is deep, but the lights are still on in the prefectural government office, and the sounds of string and wind instruments can be faintly heard through the high walls.

Liang Zhongshu was holding a grand banquet in the inner hall of the government office, with wine cups clinking and dancing figures swaying in the breeze. She didn't take Song Jiang seriously at all, believing that the impregnable city and the heavily patrolled soldiers were enough to keep her at ease, completely oblivious to the dark clouds brought by the approaching Liangshan army outside the city.

However, just as the banquet was in full swing and Liang Zhongshu raised his cup to toast the imagined Liangshan heroes who were exhausted from attacking the city, Song Jiang had already arrived at the gate of the government office. Several guards had been accurately sniped by Hua Rong a kilometer away just minutes earlier.

With incantations, Song Jiang used his immense spiritual power to tear open the spiritual barrier of the government office. Then, relying on the spiritual magic bestowed by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, he summoned a strange pink flame that transformed the seemingly indestructible gate into a writhing, blasphemous mountain of flesh. This mountain respectfully tore open its blasphemous and detestable body before Song Jiang, clearing a path for the Liangshan army to charge all the way to Liang Zhongshu!

In an instant, the entire government office was in chaos. Liang Zhongshu looked around in astonishment and discovered that the leader of the rebels was none other than Song Jiang, the Timely Rain! Although she was young, her steps were as steady as a mountain. Although her sword was not yet drawn, her imposing commanding presence terrified the lecherous men in the room.

"Protect Liang Zhongshu!!!"

Two bodyguards beside Liang Zhongshu immediately rushed forward to capture and kill Song Jiang. They were both level 10 warriors, extremely powerful in combat. They also had ample combat experience, having been retired imperial guards who had found new employment.

But at that moment, a figure in white robes and silver armor danced gracefully amidst the chaotic light and shadow. It was none other than Hua Rong, the Little Li Guang. Before he even arrived, two arrows had already killed two of Liang Zhongshu's personal guards. His handsome face was now as cold as ice, his eyes like lightning. The sharp arrows had already been nocked at the precious carved bow in his hand, a bow that could make even the stars pale and ghosts tremble. The bow was full, the arrowheads menacing, silently locking down every target in the hall who dared to make a move.

"An assassin! Help! Help!"

A guest screamed in terror, but no guards came! Only the clanging of weapons, the splattering of blood, and the screams of soldiers echoed through the magnificent mansion!

The soldiers in Daming Prefecture were already heavily underpaid, and Guan Sheng had taken away almost all of their troops, leaving their defenses extremely vulnerable at this moment.

Not only that, Ling Zhen also attracted the attention of all the remaining soldiers at the city gate, which made the defense of the government office extremely weak, allowing Song Jiang to carry out the decapitation operation with five hundred elite soldiers!

Behind Song Jiang, Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying roared like thunder, wielding his long sword to slash away any tables blocking his path; Unicorn Dragon Zou Yuan was even more like a ferocious beast in human form, howling and lowering his head, charging wildly with his giant horn, cutting a bloody path through the crowd! There were also a group of elite leaders, including Fiery-Eyed Lion Deng Fei and Cloud-Piercing Golden-Winged Ou Peng, their swords flashing and the lamplight flickering, weaving a deadly net!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye! Liang Zhongshu's smugness froze into utter horror and pallor; her half-drunk mind was instantly gripped by a chilling fear. The wine glass shattered in her hand with a crash. She instinctively tried to back away, but tripped over a chair and a terrified maid, falling to the ground. The priceless liquor soaked her valuable silk robes, leaving her beautiful body in a disheveled state.

"Liang Zhongshu!"

Song Jiang's voice was not loud, but it pierced through the noise of the room, cold and piercing, carrying an unquestionable authority, each word like a stone falling into a deep well.

"Song Jiang, the Timely Rain, is here! My brother, Liu Hong, the Great Sage of Chaos, invites you to visit Liangshan! Everyone here, please pack your things and come along!"

Before the words were even finished, Hua Rongbao's bow trembled slightly, and a feathered arrow, as precise as a god's, flew past Liang Zhongshu's temple with a "whoosh," piercing the air and extinguishing the brightest glass palace lantern hanging from the main beam of the hall! A large area of ​​light suddenly disappeared, leaving only a few flickering candlelight, casting leaping shadows and dripping bloodstains on the walls!

Five hundred elite Liangshan soldiers took control of the situation in just half an hour.

Inside the hall, chaos reigned. Shattered porcelain, overturned tables, spilled wine and meat juices mingled with still-wet blood. A terrified courtesan huddled in a corner, sobbing, while the officials lay either limp or trembling, none daring to utter a sound. Most of the bright lights had gone out, and the few remaining candles flickered in the swirling air, casting the mud-covered, menacing figures of the Liangshan heroes against the high walls, making them appear like grotesque, dancing demons.

Liang Zhongshu, who once symbolized the highest power in the entire city of Beijing, was now in disheveled robes and pale-faced, having long been captured by Du Qian, who touched the sky, and Song Wan, who was like a golden man in the clouds!

Song Jiang's swift and decisive decapitation operation not only captured Liang Zhongshu alive, but also captured all the top leaders of Daming Prefecture without exception. Using these people as hostages, Song Jiang went directly to the city gate and forced the surrender of all the remaining officials and soldiers of Daming Prefecture. With the Liangshan army, he directly seized Beijing, one of the four capitals of the Song Dynasty, Daming Prefecture.

Chapter 331: The Iron Rod at the Foot of the Three Mountains Achieves Extraordinary Merit

Meanwhile, Guan Sheng was also making arrangements in Qingzhou. She divided her 70,000 troops into seven routes, some responsible for besieging the stronghold, some for intercepting reinforcements, some for luring them away, and some as the general reserve force, which remained stationary. The formation she deployed was airtight and impeccable, which Wu Song and Luan Tingyu found somewhat incomprehensible.

However, Luan Tingyu clearly discovered that Guan Sheng's deployment had a flaw: an army of about three thousand men, far from other troops, was stationed in Hua Rong's Qingfeng Village camp, like a nail driven into the three mountains to limit his performance.

How can you bear this?

Luan Tingyu cautiously dispatched scouts to investigate. After confirming that there were no government troops nearby, he immediately seized on this key loophole in Guan Sheng's deployment and led 5,000 troops out to eliminate this thorn in Guan Sheng's side before he could react!

Luan Tingyu was indeed valiant. His five thousand Liangshan soldiers charged down Qingfeng Mountain like tigers descending the mountain, heading straight for Qingfeng Village! Luan Tingyu divided his troops into three parts, launching a fierce attack simultaneously from the north, south, and west!

The air crackled with the roar of muskets, the clang of metal, and the neighing of warhorses. A forest of spears and a rain of bullets filled the air as smoke and flames billowed, quickly shattering the wooden camp. Luan Tingyu, leading the charge, charged into the camp amidst the smoke and flames. Her towering figure, clad in cold, hard, mountain-patterned heavy armor, her arms taut and strong, her beautiful face etched with hardship and fortitude in the firelight, revealed her to be none other than Luan Tingyu, the Iron Cudgel of Liangshan!

The Song army was greatly alarmed, and their elite archers began to fire arrows to kill her. However, even the divine crossbow lost all its power after piercing her armor, only causing minor flesh wounds. Instead, Luan Tingyu, whose body was covered with arrows, looked like a demon from hell, making her even more terrifying.

The hexagonal iron rod in her hand, forged from fine steel and as thick as an arm, was even wrapped with the Thunder Shadow of the Ji River. With one blow, she smashed the newly assembled Song army's spear formation into pieces, with broken spears and limbs flying everywhere! She smashed one by one, swept away two by two, and fought her way through a bloody path covered with broken limbs and mangled flesh, charging into the center of the Song army's formation.

The military commander of Daming Prefecture was terrified. He swung his broadsword to fight Luan Tingyu, but after less than five rounds, Luan Tingyu smashed his head with a club and broke the commander's flag with another club!

At this point, with their commander-in-chief dead and their banners falling, the morale of the three thousand government troops completely collapsed. Luan Tingyu also adopted the standard tactic of encircling three sides and leaving one gap open. Seeing that the front-line battle was unwinnable and the enemy had left them a way out, these soldiers had no will to fight and all fled through the eastern gap that Luan Tingyu had deliberately left, their formations falling into chaos.

However, they did not expect that Luan Tingyu had set up an ambush in the east, and suddenly attacked when the group was in the most chaotic moment of their escape. Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, they slaughtered them frantically. In the end, the three thousand Song soldiers were either killed or captured. In just two hours, Luan Tingyu's five thousand men achieved a complete annihilation.

However, Luan Tingyu was also taken aback at this moment—for no other reason than that the scouts outside suddenly reported that Guan Sheng was leading three thousand cavalrymen and charging over!

Luan Tingyu frowned sharply, realizing he'd been tricked. These three thousand men were bait! A bait to lure him in! Guan Sheng was clearly not nearby, yet he managed to arrive just two hours after the battle began! This kid was playing me!

Several miles away, Guan Sheng also frowned suddenly. She did want to use three thousand men to lure out Luan Tingyu's Third Army Corps to kill them, but damn it, this iron rod is too fierce. In two hours, her five thousand infantrymen annihilated my three thousand infantrymen?!

"There's no time to retreat! Everyone! Liangshan's main formation! Guan Sheng only brought three thousand men! The advantage is on our side!!!"

There was no way for Luan Tingyu to escape now. In fact, if she were any slower and failed to break into the stronghold, she would be attacked from both sides by the guards and Guan Sheng, resulting in a complete defeat.

Now, all they can do is form the Liangshan formation and fight Guan Sheng head-on.

"Everyone! Speed ​​up! The Liangshan troops have just finished a battle; they are exhausted and their horses are worn out. This is the last chance to annihilate them! Charge!!!"

With no other option, Guan Sheng had to bite the bullet and go for it. Even if Luan Tingyu's Third Army was fierce, it couldn't possibly fight two battles in a row without rest, could it? The loss of these three thousand men as bait was too great. If he couldn't defeat Dong Ping, he might end up repeating the mistakes of Huyan Zhuo.

As dusk settled, the setting sun shone like blood. On the vast battlefield, the Liangshan army stood in formidable armor, their banners fluttering like a thick iron felt blanket covering the earth. Spears and halberds gleamed coldly, and shields formed a dense, impenetrable wall. Under the central command flag, Luan Tingyu's gaze was grave as he faced the enemy with all his might.

Opposite her stood Guan Sheng, clad in heavy black iron armor, riding her divine steed Red Hare. In her hand, the world-renowned Green Dragon Crescent Blade pointed diagonally at the ground, its blade gleaming with a dark golden light in the setting sun, like a dormant volcano. A heavy, mountain-like pressure enveloped the entire battlefield!

Behind Guan Sheng, a cold, metallic horizon slowly rose and advanced—a cavalry formation so perfectly aligned it inspired despair!

Five hundred? A thousand? No, it seemed as if an endless army of Kansai cavalry was sweeping in! Row after row, column after column of cavalrymen slaughtered each other, like terracotta warriors that had stepped out of history books and bamboo slips, regaining their bloodthirsty lives.

A tall warhorse, all of them magnificent steeds from the Hetao and Guanzhong regions, with broad shoulders and powerful builds, was clad in leather armor that combined lightness and defense. Its faceplate covered its head like a demon, revealing only its crimson eyes burning with fighting spirit. The heavy steel hooves pounded on the blood-stained earth, each step producing a chilling, muffled thunderous sound.

Each elite knight, selected from the fierce warriors of Kansai, was generally as burly as a mountain, clad in identical, gleaming heavy armor. Layer upon layer of armor plates covered their entire bodies, reflecting the cold, emotionless gleam of steel under the dark red setting sun. They were equipped with breastplates as bright as the sun on their chests, and their helmets were devoid of plumes, except for a pointed iron spike; grotesque demon-mask armor concealed all expressions, leaving only two deep, cold, and emotionless blood-red eyes visible through the gaps in their helmets, like the gaze of an abyss.

Three thousand heavy cavalrymen, each wielding a uniform thirteen-foot-long, armor-piercing steel lance, its tip like an enlarged four-sided armor-piercing cone, gleaming with a ghostly light, its shaft as thick as a child's arm and as hard as cast iron. At this moment, all the lance tips maintained the same angle, pointing towards the enemy formation! Not a tremor, not a deviation! The lances stood in a dense forest, forming a suffocating, deathly sight capable of tearing flesh apart!

Three thousand knights, three thousand horses, six thousand pairs of eyes, like twelve thousand blood-red stars, radiating a blood-soaked light that seemed to prey on those in distress beneath the dim sunset.

Before the battle even began, an intense, nauseatingly pungent aura of bloodlust swept across the entire area!

"Are these the people of Kansai who have been blessed by the Blood God since the Qin Dynasty? The sense of oppression is really strong."

Luan Tingyu, feeling the terrifying killing intent of the Guanzhong army, ordered his troops to be careful in resisting the enemy.

Chapter 332: Guan Shenghua of Qingfeng Village Transforms into a Azure Dragon

While Luan Tingyu was carefully examining Guan Sheng's cavalry formation, Guan Sheng was also observing Luan Tingyu's army formation.

Luan Tingyu's five thousand men were divided into five large square formations, each consisting of one thousand men. Guan Sheng had never seen such a formation before. In each large square formation, six hundred heavily armored infantrymen were in the center, including four hundred spearmen, one hundred hook-and-sickle spearmen, and one hundred giant axemen.

At the four corners, only one hundred musketeers holding matchlock guns stood in separate formations.

These five strange square formations together form a bizarre cross in the center.

Guan Sheng studied it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. This wasn't surprising, as Huyan Zhuo's group had all been wiped out and captured by Liangshan. The imperial court knew almost nothing about this formation and had no experience in dealing with it.

Guan Sheng frowned slightly, unable to discern the reason, so he simply beat the war drums and ordered a charge!

Luan Tingyu gripped his iron rod tightly, a hint of tension in his eyes, watching the writhing cavalry charge, preparing to meet the onslaught. Just then, Guan Sheng suddenly looked up. His once calm, deep-set phoenix eyes erupted with a blazing, almost frenzied, cyan-gold flame! It wasn't anger, but a violent power, originating from the depths of the primordial wilderness, awakening!

"Roar!!!"

Suddenly, a deafening dragon roar, like a million thunderbolts, exploded deep within everyone's soul! The guards closest to Guan Sheng felt excruciating pain in their eardrums, blood flowing from their seven orifices. They watched in awe as Guan Sheng used his demonic power. His tall, beautiful human form swelled, twisted, and reshaped in the azure-gold flames! Bones cracked like thunder, muscles bulged and bulged! His skin was covered in cold, hard azure dragon scales, reflecting a deep metallic luster in the setting sun. His thick dragon tail tore through the earth, carving magnificent azure patterns across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a colossal azure dragon, as majestic as a mountain, had taken Guan Sheng's place! It coiled in the center of the battlefield, its dragon eyes, burning with the flames of destruction, coldly surveying the insignificant Liangshan army formation. A scorching heatwave emanated from it, violently spreading outwards, distorting and steaming the air, while azure flames, as if alive, flowed and leaped between its scales!

"Transform into a dragon?"

Luan Tingyu carefully observed Guan Sheng's abilities. Yang Zhi could also transform into a blue dragon after ascending to demonhood, but the sense of oppression he gave off was far less than that of Guan Sheng. Her dragon form mainly involved using the Dragon Eye to observe and predict, greatly increasing defense and blocking, and using the Dragon Scale to significantly increase physical armor. The tankiest person in the entire Liangshan was Xu Ning, followed by Yang Zhi.

Is Guan Sheng's dragon form the same as Yang Zhi's?

Without any warning, Guan Sheng, in his Azure Dragon form, raised his ferocious dragon head high, its massive maw, filled with fangs, suddenly opened wide! A terrifying dragon roar, chilling to the bone and seemingly tearing space itself apart, was unleashed!

Amidst that terrifying roar, an incomparably intense, viscous, cyan-gold dragon breath, like a deathly spear piercing the heavens and earth, violently spewed from its mouth! Its brilliance instantly overshadowed the setting sun, staining everything in the world a strange, destructive cyan-gold! It instantly traversed a distance of five hundred meters, exploding within the Liangshan formation!

"boom!!!"

Wherever the dragon's breath, which pierced the heavens and earth, passed, space itself seemed to melt! Liangshan, seemingly indestructible, even withstood the spear formation of Huyan Zhuo's cavalry charge, was as fragile as paper in the face of this overwhelming dragon's breath! Shields, armor, weapons, and even human bodies were instantly vaporized by the terrifying heat upon contact! There were no explosions, only silent melting and annihilation!

Even more terrifying, the dragon's breath did not stop!

Like a deathly spear that splits the heavens and earth, it surged forward wildly through the densely packed Liangshan army formation along the direction locked by Guan Shenglong's kiss. Wherever it passed, everything was reduced to ashes in the scorching heat! Whether it was charging infantry, armored warhorses, heavy siege weapons, or valiant generals trying to form a defensive formation... anything that touched it died, and anything that stood in its way was burned!

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying rift that had pierced through the entire Liangshan army formation was torn open by Guan Sheng's dragon breath! Molten rocks and metal churned on both sides of the rift, flowing with bluish-white, viscous dragon fire like magma!

The air was thick with the stench of burning flesh and blood. In the center of the fissure, not even a single remains remained, only a bottomless lava chasm billowing with thick smoke! On both sides were mountains of charred, carbonized, and twisted corpses—the remains of soldiers on the edge of their ranks, instantly carbonized!

This fissure, burning with blue flames, is a purgatory path paved with pure destruction and death! The terrified Liangshan generals immediately took stock of their losses. The large square formation consisted of 25 people in each horizontal row, multiplied by 25 people in each vertical row.

Guan Sheng's attack just now tore apart the entire vertical row, and the width of the horizontal row also reached an astonishing five. In other words, with one dragon breath, at least 125 well-trained Liangshan heavy armor soldiers were reduced to ashes!

Just then, the enormous azure dragon moved! Instead of soaring into the air, it slammed its head, covered in hard dragon scales, down, spewing scorching azure flames from its nostrils. Its massive claws slammed into the fissure it had created with its own hands, a fissure flowing with azure fire and lava, its sides littered with charred corpses! It charged forward! The thunderous sound of its claws striking the earth was like the war drums of an ancient god! Each stomp caused the earth to tremble and groan, chilling the surviving Liangshan soldiers on either side to the bone!

The next second, walking turned into running, and running into a charge. The towering dragon, as majestic as a mountain, surged forward along this death tunnel! Its ferocious head was lowered, its wings pressed tightly against its sides, and its body was enveloped in a tangible, violent killing intent and scorching blue flames, forming a destructive shockwave that surged forward! Its target was none other than Luan Tingyu's central command flag!

Swift as a ghost! Powerful as a whirlwind!

"What? Guan Shengchao is here?!"

Luan Tingyu was also quite astonished to see Guan Sheng about to pull this stunt. Even if you are a descendant of Guan Yu, I am not Yan Liang! Wen Chou!

"Stop him! Stop him!"

The remaining Liangshan soldiers on both sides were extremely brave. Countless spears thrust inward, countless giant axes swung down, and countless muskets fired, trying to stop this world-destroying beast that was crushing down on them. However, they had little effect. The Azure Dragon was covered in terrifyingly hot blue-gold dragon fire. Whether it was a giant axe or a lead bullet, it would be melted the moment it touched the dragon's scales, greatly reducing its attack power. The weapons that were melted by the heat could not break through the dragon's incredibly strong defenses.

Guan Sheng didn't even bother to dodge! He simply charged forward furiously! His enormous dragon body became the purest weapon of destruction! Soldiers who were grazed by him, whether they were spearmen trying to form ranks or swordsmen with shields, were thrown, crushed, and turned into severed limbs and remains like fallen leaves swept up by a whirlwind, scorched by the dragon scales and flames!

With a swift swing of its claws, the powerful winds reaped life in an area like scythes! A casual sweep of its thick tail sent three or four spearmen flying and smashing them to pieces! Its objective was crystal clear—to pierce the heart of Liangshan along this hellish passage, to the high-flying apricot-yellow banner proclaiming "Acting on Behalf of Heaven"! Before the Liangshan troops could react, it would slay Luan Tingyu!

Chapter 233: Two Tigers Fight a Dragon in the Wilderness

"You think you're the only dragon? Guan Sheng, the Great Saber?!"

Luan Tingyu let out a deafening roar, like a million giant bows of thunder being drawn back to gather power, or like the mournful cry of the starry sky before it collapses, exploding from the high heavens!

In an instant, a deafening sound of electric explosions tore apart the eardrums of all mortals! A golden bolt of lightning descended from the sky, completely engulfing Luan Tingyu. The next second, a colossal beast, its entire body pitch black, tore through the thick, inky clouds, its body wreathed in solemn yet destructive golden lightning, and crashed down!

That was Luan Tingyu transformed into a jet-black lightning dragon! Its body was long and slender, ferocious like an ancient demonic dragon. The scales covering its entire body were not ordinary black, but a bottomless, dark shadow that absorbed all light, with only a trace of cold, metallic light flowing at the edges of the scales. But this dull black armor was now entangled and enveloped by thousands upon thousands of wildly dancing, dazzling golden lightning bolts, imprinting golden lightning patterns on each black scale.

These golden lightning bolts were not chaotic, but rather swirled and condensed at high speed on its body like living things, forming hissing balls of lightning at its joints and drawing out blazing white arcs of electricity from the tips of the spines on its back! Its eyes were no longer those of an ordinary creature, but two lakes of lightning that pulsated violently in the darkness, spewing forth tangible golden plasma. At the ends of its claws, the massive, white claws themselves had been tempered into pure energy-state liquid lightning, stretching and contracting unpredictably. With each gust of wind from its majestic body, a golden thunderstorm pressure capable of shattering giant rocks was unleashed!

Seeing Luan Tingyu's ferocity, Guan Sheng, transformed into a blue fire dragon, also soared into the sky, a dragon against a dragon! Luan Tingyu's shadow thunder dragon was more chaotic and agile, while Guan Sheng's blazing blue dragon was more powerful and domineering. Without any probing, Luan Tingyu and Guan Sheng locked onto each other almost simultaneously, opening their blood-red maws and spewing out terrifying, world-destroying dragon breath!

In an instant, the thousands of golden lightning bolts that were wrapped around Luan Tingyu surged and converged into the giant mouth, transforming into a pure gold pillar of destruction with a diameter far exceeding that of a mountain. Wherever this pillar of light passed, the air was directly ionized into scorching plasma, emitting a shriek powerful enough to pierce the soul. It instantly plowed through the thick clouds, like a divine punishment spear piercing straight into the Azure Dragon!

The azure fire dragon showed no fear, its massive jaws suddenly opening wide! A thick, viscous, bluish-white, blazing dragon fire, like a burst dam of molten lava, surged forth and spewed forth! Wherever its breath touched, space molten and collapsed in a terrifying manner, even light was swallowed and incinerated!

The next instant, the destructive lightning and the world-burning lava collided violently in mid-air. Instead of the expected earth-shattering explosion, a long and dull shriek of energy annihilation, powerful enough to shatter the soul, erupted from the point of impact, emitting an extreme brightness surpassing that of the sun's surface. Rings of destructive energy waves, mixed with molten particles, stray lightning, and scorching shockwaves, spread outwards at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye! The ground that they touched was instantly plowed into a huge crater, and soil, rocks, vegetation, and even soldiers who couldn't escape were instantly vaporized by the extreme heat.

Unable to tear the opponent apart, countless violent energies were forced to explode into the sky, completely shattering and evaporating the clouds in the sky, forming a huge ring-shaped hole!

The troops watched in shock as two opposing dragon breaths, each powerful enough to destroy the world, intertwined like giant serpents, frantically strangling, annihilating, and grappling! The golden lightning attempted to tear apart the lava, while the lava relentlessly devoured the lightning! At the stalemate's energy core, a chaotic energy sphere, a mixture of bluish-white molten fire and golden lightning, swung wildly in and out! The mere aftershocks of the dissipated energy leveled nearby mountains, turning the land into a scorched wasteland flowing with lava and plasma. Neither of the two world-destroying dragon breaths could completely overwhelm the other, and finally, in an even more violent impact, they canceled each other out, annihilating each other into nothingness, leaving behind a scorching, empty sky.

After a brief stalemate, a more primal and bloody battle ensued!

Luan Tingyu broke the balance first, transforming into a lightning shadow with a golden trail that tore through the sky. With ghostly speed, he rushed straight at Guan Sheng from the side. The azure fire dragon roared and turned around, its huge lava dragon claw burning with terrifying bluish-white flames, tearing through the air to meet the attack head-on!

"clang!!!"

The jet-black Thunder Claw clashed fiercely with the burning Lava Claw! Blinding golden lightning and viscous lava sparks rained down like a storm! Immense power erupted from the claw tips, sending visible energy shockwaves through the air!

The golden lightning coiled around the Thunder Dragon was like thousands of venomous snakes, frantically surging towards the Azure Dragon's scales and claws from the point of contact, attempting to paralyze and tear it apart. Meanwhile, the lava flames flowing around the Azure Dragon were like maggots clinging to its bones, scorching the Thunder Dragon's pitch-black scales, trying to melt them! The two extreme destructive forces eroded and clashed with each other on the claws, emitting a hissing sound of energy annihilation.

Guan Sheng frowned slightly, his other giant claw burning with an even more intense and massive pillar of flame, shooting straight into the sky! He even compressed a blazing Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in mid-air, slashing fiercely at Luan Tingyu's neck. But the Thunder Dragon's reaction was incredibly fast! Its tail, covered in the most concentrated golden lightning, lashed out like a destructive whip, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, fiercely striking the Azure Dragon's giant claw, unleashing an even more violent energy shockwave! Dragon scales rubbed and scraped violently against each other, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound, countless high-temperature sparks, and scattered lightning.

At this moment, the two enormous dragon bodies became the most terrifying weapons! They moved, coiled, rolled, and wrestled at high speed in the sky! Every charge and collision brought up a storm, and every heavy dragon body collision was like two stars colliding, causing a muffled, thunderous sound and shockwave. The black dragon scales were indestructible under the golden lightning, while the blue dragon scales were even more unbreakable under the high temperature of the lava.

Every clash of claws and the intense friction of scales was like a dazzling and beautiful firework display, bursting open in the sky. Countless sparks and tiny fragments of shattered scales scattered in all directions, turning the entire sky into their arena! The enormous two-colored dragon shadows darted and clashed at high speed through the shattered clouds, sometimes tumbling and crashing into the ground battlefield, smashing hills, and creating deep craters of lava and scorched marks from lightning strikes; at other times, it soared into the depths of the sky, accompanied by endless thunderstorms and lava clouds, leaving only its furious roar and the thunder and fire that illuminated the heavens!

"Well done, Guan Sheng!"

"What a fine Luan Tingyu!"

The two dragons fought fiercely, praising each other's strength. At the same time, Guan Sheng's three thousand iron cavalry from Guanzhong also charged towards the Liangshan army!
