Chapter 165.1
On the other side, Lin Beifan was also leading a million-strong army, with many experts joining the campaign in person.
Both sides were full of determination, as if the battle would determine the fate of the world.
Five days later, they converged on the Twin Blossom Plain (Shuanghua Plain).
The Twin Blossom Plains is a flatland among the five northeastern kingdoms, carpeted with yellow and white flowers. Every spring, the distinct layers of yellow and white blooms are exceptionally beautiful, hence the name.
But today, this peaceful and tranquil place is likely to be stained with red.
At this moment, the armies of the two nations are in a standoff.
As far as the eye can see, the troops of both nations display their banners, forming a sea of people, densely packed heads as far as the eye can see, with a fierce aura rising to the sky.
They all silently prepare, ready to fight with all their might at any moment.
In addition to the soldiers of the two nations, many others are secretly paying attention to this battle.
Great Xia and the Great Xue Dynasty are finally going to war!
This battle will surely change the political landscape for thousands of miles around!
Its a pity for Great Xia, having risen just less than two years ago, it might soon become history!
Yes, a country without a Grandmaster is just that fragile!
I think that foolish emperor must be regretting provoking Great Xue, right?
Dont overthink it, theres no such thing as regret! The Emperor of Great Xue is so ambitious, even if that foolish Emperor hadnt provoked him, the Emperor of Great Xue would have led his troops to attack! It was inevitable!
Youre right, these matters are not for us to worry about. Lets just be spectators enjoying the show!
Among these people was Song Yufei, who had hurried over while covered in dust.
Because of her sensitive identity as a Taoist Sect disciple, she must remain neutral and cannot participate in worldly conflicts unless it involves an Emperor supported by their Taoist Sect.
Therefore, she could only hide in the shadows, ready to save Lin Beifan at the last moment and whisk him away to safety.
Your Majesty, you must hold on!
Among the crowd, there were also Yaoyao and her stunningly beautiful Master.
They stood on a mountain peak, watching from afar.
Yaoyao, swinging her beautiful Masters arm, urged anxiously, Master, theyre about to start fighting, please take action quickly and beat that Great Xue dog Emperor until hes down on the ground looking for his teeth!
The stunningly beautiful Master shook her head, Yaoyao, its not the right time yet!
Yaoyao was very anxious, Master, now is the best time! Otherwise, once that Grandmaster makes a move, everything will be over, and no one will be able to stop the Emperor of Great Xue!
The beautiful Master found her little disciples anxiousness amusing and affectionately patted her head, saying, Dont worry, I will certainly take care of your sweetheart! However, I want to see first what this little foolish Emperor is capable of!
She was well aware of what Lin Beifan had done over the past two years.
In her eyes, Lin Beifan was a clever and cunning fellow, never fighting a losing battle!
Now that he dared to lead his troops here, he must have made some preparations!
She wanted to see how he would deal with the formidable Great Xue troops and the Emperor of Great Xue!
If things went south, she would intervene to ensure his absolute safety.
Master, dont talk nonsense, hes not my sweetheart at all!
Yaoyao, feeling a bit shy, diverted her gaze toward the battlefield, her eyes filled with worry.
Little foolish emperor, you must not let anything happen to you!
At this very moment, the Emperor of Great Xue, dressed in a dazzling dragon robe, sat in a luxurious and grand chariot, looking at the distant Great Xia army and Lin Beifan among them.
This was the first time he had seen Lin Beifan. He saw that his opponent was also wearing a golden dragon robe, sitting in a chariot even more luxurious and grand than his own, looking back at him from afar.
The young face looked surprisingly calm, without a trace of fear.
The Emperor of Great Xue was surprised and couldnt help laughing out loud, What a surprise! Ordinary emperors would definitely flee in a sorry state and fearing for their lives after knowing that I led my troops to attack!
You, a well-known foolish emperor, still have the audacity to lead your troops into battle!? Just for that, youre already much stronger than many emperors. I really admire you! But bravery without the capability is never advisable! Haha
Lin Beifan also laughed: Great Xue Emperor, I admire your courage as well. Youve just made a breakthrough to become a Grandmaster, and youre at the peak of your life, yet you still dare to lead an army against Xia. Are you in a rush to meet your demise? You should know that even a Grandmaster is not invincible!
Great Xue Emperors laughter came to an abrupt halt, his expression darkening: Such big talk! Its true that a Grandmaster is not unbeatable, but to deal with a foolish emperor like you is as easy as turning ones hand over! I can hardly wait to take your life!
With that, he clapped his hands on the throne, which shattered the dragon chair, and he soared into the sky.
Like a thunderbolt carrying an overwhelming momentum, he charged at Lin Beifan with incredible speed.
The soldiers of Great Xia became somewhat panicked.
Protect the emperor!
Hurry, protect His Majesty!
Various Innate masters positioned themselves in front of Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifan waved his hand calmly: Stand back, everyone. He cant hurt me!
At that moment, the Sword Elder, who had been meditating by Lin Beifans side, suddenly opened his eyes, which had become incredibly sharp.
With a roar, like a wild goose taking flight, he positioned himself in front of the Great Xia troops.
The sheath on his back opened immediately, and the Xuanxiao God Sword flew out, emitting a sword cry before landing in his hand.
If you want to harm my master, youll have to get past me first!
With that, he slashed with his sword, and the Sword Qi accompanied by crimson flames swept across in all directions.
Whoosh whoosh~~
The Sword Qi was terrifying, and so were the flames, turning the entire sky into what looked like a fiery cloud.
Even from a thousand zhang away, one could feel a wave of heat, causing their bodies to become hot and restless.
Everyone couldnt help but be astonished.
Such a terrifying Sword Elder! Such a terrifying divine sword!
The power of this sword strike has definitely reached the Grandmaster level!
The Sword Elder has grown stronger; he has taken another half step forward! Given a bit more time, he will surely become a Grandmaster!
Its just a pity right now
Faced with this terrifying move, Great Xue Emperor did not dare to be careless and struck out with his palm.
This palm strike seemed ordinary, lacking the flashy moves of the Sword Elder, but it dispersed the opponents Sword Qi and flames.
It was as if everything before was just a bubble, easily popped with a poke.
Is this the power of a Grandmaster? the Sword Elder murmured to himself, his pupils constricting.
Although he had lived for over a hundred years and practiced the sword for more than eighty, he had never crossed swords with a Grandmaster. He thought that with his current strength and the divine sword in hand, he could somehow contend with a Grandmaster.
But now it seemed he had been naive; the gap between them was still vast and difficult to bridge.
He felt immense pressure and a surge of youthful passion that he hadnt felt in a long time welling up from deep within.
Gripping the divine sword tightly, his eyes filled with a crazed look: Lets fight with all our might, without madness, theres no demon!
On the other side, Great Xue Emperors expression darkened, his eyes brimming with a towering intent to kill.
This Sword Elders strength was somewhat beyond his expectations, seemingly stronger than the last time they met.
Just now, he had to use 50% of his power to fend off the opponents sword technique.
The opponent was already touching the threshold of the Grandmaster realm, and it might not be long before he could break through to become a Grandmaster!
This is a critical threat that must be eliminated!
Youve come at the right time!
The Great Xue Emperors eyes were filled with murderous intent as he shouted, Its time to settle our scores! After I slay you, Ill go after that dog of an Emperor!
Come on, I too wish to meet the Grandmaster!
The Sword Elder yelled crazily, This battle will end with either your death or my demise!
Die! The Great Xue Emperor charged in once more.
The two masters clashed again.
Every move they made was as powerful as moving mountains and splitting seas, like gods in battle!
Within a thousand zhang, the land turned into a demonic realm and a graveyard!
Both armies had no choice but to retreat 500 zhang to make room for the battlefield.
Those outside the battlefield watched while utterly fascinated.
Is this a battle of Grandmasters?
So powerful! A casual move from them can strike a hundred zhang away, splitting mountains and rivers as if it were nothing!
To call them human is an understatement; they are more like gods!
No wonder some say that only a Grandmaster can deal with another Grandmaster! Even a hundred Innates would be useless against such a mighty being! They might be killed in an instant before even getting close!
The difference between a country with a Grandmaster and one without is like night and day!
Isnt that the truth!
At that moment, Lin Beifan shouted, Beat the drums! Bolster the Sword Elders morale!
Yes, Your Majesty!
The thunderous sound of drums emanated from the Great Xia army.
Boom Boom
The Great Xue Emperor glanced at the sound with disdain.
Indeed, the drumming could inspire the troops, but what use could it have for the mighty?
It was nothing but a flashy distraction!
Well then, let them have their moment of pride. Once I have slain the Sword Elder, I will deal with them.
With that, his attacks became even more fierce.
Song Yufei watched the fierce battle, and her anxious heart eased slightly.
With the Sword Elder present, even if Great Xia couldnt win, they should at least be able to protect themselves.
The Emperor should be safe now.
