He stood up and glanced around.
"Afraid of dying?"
"Afraid."
"Very afraid."
"A bit."
"Then follow behind me."
He glanced at the daylight streaming in from outside the cave, and flashed his figure to quickly appear at the cave entrance.
Outside the cave, skilled warriors from the Righteous Alliance began to gather from various directions.
Outside, the sound of cannon fire was continuous, yet none of the people present showed any fear on their faces.
It was as if the thunderous noise had nothing to do with them.
There were over a hundred people present; apart from the four in the stone hall, the others were all below the level of Grandmaster, and there were few of Super Grade.
Mingwu Mountain was merely an isolated Star Department, given that most of the Righteous Alliance’s power was now concentrated on the Great Capital’s side.
Only a small portion of power was gathered here.
"Celestial Roc, I wonder if you have sent someone to inform the Wushan side?" asked Ximen Yu, the main general of the Righteous Alliance, who was previously a Spirit General of the Snow Rainbow Pavilion and knew how troublesome the current situation was.
With the armies clashing, the Righteous Alliance was already at a disadvantage, merely using the complexity of the terrain to hold off the enemy temporarily.
If the level of experts fails further, things might become even more difficult.
"Notified..." Lie Hu answered. "They haven’t arrived yet."
"I say it’s not that they haven’t arrived, but that they simply don’t dare to come, isn’t it?" someone said sarcastically.
"A few days ago, we sent people to intercept the Yi Vein Gentleman’s Sword successor, only to be blocked by them. Which side are they on?"
"Don’t think about it. It’s time to move." Lie Hu said calmly, first looking towards the opposite mountain.
At this moment, across the charred passage, a large piece of forest at the foot of the mountain had been cleared to build the Spirit General’s camps and watchtowers.
Between these camps, patches of fiery red light occasionally flared up, followed by deafening explosions. freewebnσvel.cѳm
That was the artillery bombardment.
As the explosions rang out, they were accompanied by fragments of trees and rocks continuously splattering up the mountain.
The defenses newly built by the Righteous Alliance now remained in only a tattered state.
The soldiers in the front row lowered their bodies, using the excavated trenches to avoid the cannonballs.
In the artillery positions at the foot of the mountain.
A woman with a cold expression and sword-like eyebrows, her long black hair, wearing pure white tight armor, holding a crescent war halberd over three meters long.
Lifted her head, her eyes suddenly turned silver, directly facing Celestial Roc Lie Hu’s gaze from the mountain.
"Stubbornly resisting without knowing one’s fate!"
"Lady Auduna, the positions of the other army units have been set up." The deputy general behind her said in a deep voice.
"Righteous Scholar Gentleman’s Sword, Mingde Academy elder Yue Chongheng, and Zhuang City elder, have both entered their respective positions." Qianxiang showed a respectful expression at this moment behind her.
"Where’s Zhou Fengyu? Have his twelve Silver Scales spread around." Auduna said coldly.
Ever since being killed in front by Yue Dewen, a simmering anger had built up in her heart.
And this time out here, personally taking action, was partly because her beloved general Qianxiang was killed once. On the other hand, it was to relieve the frustration in her heart.
Unexpectedly, she encountered the Righteous Alliance’s Celestial Roc here.
"I’ve heard of Celestial Roc’s name for a long time, the legend has it that he possesses the capacity to resist multiple Spirit Generals, today I will personally test this." Auduna said icily.
At this moment, her gaze locked onto Lie Hu.
Both were motionless, separated by hundreds of meters, yet vaguely their auras intertwined, already beginning to seek each other’s weaknesses.
Behind her, Fierce General Zhou Fengyu seeing this, frowned and waved to issue military orders.
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly, the muffled sound of war drums resonated continuously.
On both sides of the battlefield, like a demarcation line, black and white were distinct, the soldiers began to slowly approach.
The Spirit Army bore large shields, shooting and hurling bolts from crevices.
The Righteous Alliance’s soldiers, relying on their large numbers, used massive planks of wood, like turtle shells, to slowly advance.
Time slowly passed along with the continuous sound of both sides’ war drums, the distance between the two armies growing closer and closer, closer still.
Boom!
Finally, when there were only thirty to forty meters remaining, both sides discarded all shields, grabbed long guns, knives, shields with both hands, and charged furiously towards each other.
The sound of gunfire erupted like exploding beans, and the soldiers of the Righteous Alliance fell like mowing wheat.
From the start, the Righteous Alliance was at a disadvantage. The Spirit Army used orderly tactics to harvest countless lives.
From above looking down, the Spirit Army in white armor looked like rocks being washed by a black torrent, unwavering, yet constantly eroding the current, dispersing, weakening, blocking it. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
A mere three thousand strong Fengling Army demonstrated terrifying military discipline in an instant.
Warriors of Righteous Alliance seeing things turning unfavorable, burst out from behind the soldiers, leaping forward to join the battle.
At the same time, many generals on the Spirit Army side also stood up and joined the fray.
Experts fought fiercely against each other, but unfortunately, the number of experts still favored the Spirit Army.
On Mingwu Mountain.
Righteous Alliance’s overall commander Ximen Yu looked grim, his gaze fixed on Celestial Roc Lie Hu, the backbone of this battle.
"Celestial Roc, should the Righteous Alliance not act as well? The gap between the sides is too large, even though we outnumber them three to one, winning is difficult. Morale must see a tangible hope to avoid dissolving!"
Lie Hu looked troubled.
"I understand, everyone sees the situation, if we lose, find your way to escape."
"Senior! Since starting there wasn’t enough experts, why are we still confronting here?" Ximen Yu asked angrily. "Isn’t this playing with the lives of countless brothers!?"
"The needs of the greater situation are unavoidable." Lie Hu shook his head. He looked down the mountain.
"Everyone, let’s begin. I’ll find Auduna, while you disperse to handle the other divine ones."
"Yes!"
The three Extreme Realm Grandmasters behind him drew their weapons from their waist and back.
Woosh!!
The four simultaneously darted out, like four gray streaks, they charged straight into the battlefield.

In a camp at the foot of the mountain.
Auduna remained unmoving. At the moment Lie Hu’s group moved, she suddenly smiled brilliantly.
"Here they come! Let’s see if the Righteous Alliance’s Celestial Roc measures up to his name."
She lifted her delicate hand, and the war halberd drew a sharp arc in mid-air.
In a flash, she vanished from her spot.
Zhou Fengyu looked up at the distant battlefield where war drums thundered, shouts, screams, roars, and the clash of weapons mixed together, flames began to ignite the trees, slowly rising new smoke.
The sound of slaughter surged like tide, wave after wave.
On the side belonging to the Righteous Alliance, was heading to an overall disadvantage.
"Next....activate the array, Master Qianxiang."
He looked at Qianxiang standing beside him.
Qianxiang took a deep breath; after being intercepted by the Righteous Alliance last time, the terrifying scene kept replaying in his mind.
The powerful potential he was proud of, even the Great Descent of the Divine, failed to hold against those three freaks for long.
Just one face-off, everything was over....
"Alright." Qianxiang turned back and took out the command flag from his waist, lit the fire starter, and set it ablaze.
"Quickly finish here and proceed to support other locations." Qianxiang said deeply, "This time, I want the Righteous Alliance’s people to be annihilated!!"
Hiss...
The command flag itself was designed like fireworks, now ignited at the tip, it emitted sparks.
Qianxiang aimed it at the sky, ready to order.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp stab behind him, and he quickly spun around to look towards the forest behind him.
Through the layers of dense forest.
There seemed to be a piercing gaze penetrating everything, falling on his back.
"What’s that?!" Qianxiang’s eyes turned silver, temporarily enhancing his vision greatly.
He saw deep within the distant forest, a tall figure in a dark red robe, watching here from afar.
