Chapter 1636: Chapter 1633: The Army at the Gates!
Daxi Dynasty’s main commander, Daa Wendong, once again gathered one and a half million troops, claiming three million, launching a sudden attack on the Hann Dynasty’s borders.
Having fled in chaos earlier, Hei Guang saw Hall Master God Monarch Yunlong and Chief Heavenly Pride Yun Hee return, and promptly gathered the shattered disciples, totaling more than three hundred, to aid in the battle.
Previously, the Daxi Dynasty had been subdued, so no one had anticipated their sudden offensive.
Thus, the defending forces of the Hann Dynasty were completely unprepared, caught off guard.
After a day and night of fierce battle, the thirty thousand troops guarding the border suffered over half casualties, leaving only a dozen or so shattered soldiers retreating to the second line of defense.
Upon hearing the news, Xie Wanwan immediately ordered Wang Chao to lead the army for reinforcements.
The two sides clashed near Dasan Pass, Daa Wendong was overwhelmed and suffered a significant defeat.
Just as they were about to be completely routed, Yun Hee charged with sword in hand.
With just one slash, he killed Wang Chao.
Daa Wendong immediately rallied the troops for a counterattack.
The Hann army, now leaderless, could not withstand the assault and crumbled like a landslide.
The Daxi army led by Daa Wendong, after defeating Wang Chao’s forces, surged forward, capturing seventy cities.
Anyone daring to resist was slaughtered after the city was taken, regardless of age or gender, a crime beyond record.
Thus, they marched grandly, advancing to beneath the Royal City.
This was the Hann Dynasty’s last fortress, if the Royal City fell, it meant the newly risen Hann Dynasty was facing an existential threat.
In an instant, chaos reigned within the Royal City. Panic gripped everyone, unable to find peace.
Yun Hee, holding the Divine Sword, loudly shouted towards the Royal Palace: "Li Chen, come out now, face your death!"
At this moment, Xie Wanwan soared into the sky, blocking Yun Hee’s path.
Seeing the obstruction was a stunning beauty, Yun Hee couldn’t help but flash a smug smile.
"Little Beauty, are all your Hann Dynasty men dead, leaving a woman to fight?"
Xie Wanwan’s eyes widened, fiercely retorting: "Enough nonsense, with me, Xie Wanwan, here today, you shall not enter the Royal City!"
Hearing Xie Wanwan’s words, Yun Hee laughed instead of getting angry.
"Hehe, what arrogance. However, I am a man who cherishes beauty and loathes harming women, let Li Chen come out instead!"
Xie Wanwan’s brows furrowed with anger and shouted: "You are not worthy!"
Yun Hee, being the Heaven’s Chosen Son, had never suffered such humiliation.
Moreover, coming from a stunning woman made it all the more unbearable.
"Hmph, whether I’m worthy or not, you’ll soon know!"
Yun Hee snorted furiously, his True Yuan suddenly surged, his long sword burst forth with brilliant Rainbow, tearing through the void towards Xie Wanwan.
Upon witnessing this, Xie Wanwan’s brows furrowed.
Immediately, without hesitation, she swung her Spirit Sword to construct a defensive light screen.
Yun Hee’s Sword Rainbow struck against this screen, erupting into dazzling sparks.
"Thump thump thump!"
Xie Wanwan, now only at the Half-step Mahayana Realm, was unable to counteract Yun Hee, who had advanced to the Mahayana Realm.
Upon a single stroke of encounter, her sword-holding arm went numb, and half her body instantly lost sensation.
Her entire body, like a kite with broken strings, uncontrollably reeled backward.
Seeing Xie Wanwan shaken, Yun Hee’s grin turned into a sneer.
"Hehe, Little Beauty, you are no match for me, best surrender gracefully. I may possess no other virtues, but I do cherish beauty!"
Upon hearing Yun Hee’s vulgarities, Xie Wanwan became furious with shame.
"Enough nonsense, face my sword!"
She rapidly mobilized True Yuan, slicing out myriad sword blossoms, which unfolded mid-air.
The brilliant scene was akin to a poem: Suddenly as the spring breeze arrives overnight, thousands of trees burst into pear blossoms.
Seeing Xie Wanwan’s profound understanding of Sword Dao, Yun Hee’s sinister gaze focused intensely.
"Not bad, quite interesting!"
His smile still lingered in the sky as Yun Hee soared, his figure spinning swiftly in mid-air, like a frenzied golden snake.
Soon, he appeared with a crimson tongue, menacingly lunging at Xie Wanwan’s blossoms of silver and iron.
"Clang!"
"Boom!"
The two opposing Sword Intents collided like thousands of troops clashing, bursting with sparks.
Xie Wanwan’s talent in Sword Dao was always superior.
Having received deep guidance from Li Chen, her understanding of Sword Dao reached an unfathomable level.
This caused Yun Hee to suffer several setbacks, forcing him to retreat cautiously.
Of course, limited by cultivation, Xie Wanwan couldn’t pursue aggressively to expand her advantage.
Yun Hee’s body, resembling a taut string, drew a white streak mid-air, pupils suddenly focusing, scrutinizing Xie Wanwan’s blossoming fiery trees.
Facing Xie Wanwan, he dared no longer harbor any underestimation.
She, merely at Half-step Mahayana God Monarch, and seemingly recently advanced, almost wounded him.
If her cultivation equaled his, as a true Mahayana Divine Monarch,
perhaps he would truly stand no chance.
Contemplating this, Yun Hee’s eyes involuntarily revealed a trace of fear.
Li Chen was astonishing, never expecting his woman to be equally extraordinary.
This wounded Yun Hee’s pride!
If earlier he held some tenderness towards Xie Wanwan,
now, he was filled with icy killing intent.
"Good swordsmanship, dare you encounter my sword again?"
Speaking, Yun Hee crushed the void with a foot, causing the entire realm to tremble violently.
Xie Wanwan’s flowing gaze congealed into ice.
Although she had repelled Yun Hee in the earlier exchange,
she relied on surprise, only driving him back without inflicting any real harm.
From the raging aura now erupting from Yun Hee, it was clear he hadn’t exerted full strength.
Yet now, he was ready to unleash his full might.
Thinking of this, Xie Wanwan’s expression slightly contracted, her clear eyes brimmed with gravity.
"Let’s fight, enough with the gibberish!"
Hearing Xie Wanwan’s response, Yun Hee was initially stunned, then laughed uproariously.
"Very well, let us battle!"
