Chapter 9

The three Yin Generals worked together, and despite the fierce struggles of the Dog General, it was all in vain. In just a few dozen breaths, he was cut down by the blade.

Ji Xia held the Dog General's severed head in his hand, standing tall. Thick smoke billowed from behind him, making him appear as if he were a figure from a fairyland.

Ji Qianqing's sword qi soared to the sky, severing the arm of the gold-eating giant ape. She looked at Ji Xia and saw that, centered around him, more and more Yin soldiers were emerging, armed with spears, joining the battlefield.

The Yin army, whose strength was not inferior to that of the Cangwei Army, moved in groups of ten, continuously surrounding and killing the scattered Dog Army soldiers. Countless pigeon dogs died under the organized hunting of the Yin army. They often didn't even have time to call for help before being pierced by several sinister spears and torn into pieces, scattered on the ground.

The spectators on the city walls, seeing the Yin army finally appear and achieving such unexpected results, were so excited that their eyes turned red.

"Former Lord, do you see? Taicang has survived another calamity!" Zhao Qu's voice trembled, and he knelt down, tears streaming down his face.

"Former Lord, do not blame the Prince. Though he is mischievous, he has no ill intentions towards you. Do not blame Lu Yu either. In times of peace, Lu Yu would surely punish the Prince, but in this vast wilderness dominated by powerful tribes, our human race is too weak. Without the Prince, the hundreds of thousands of Taicang's people would likely die!"

Lu Yu also seemed to have some thoughts: "You have spent your life working for Taicang and the human race. Now, you should rest and enjoy the glory in the Heavenly Blue Court, without worrying about Taicang every day!"

The Dog Army was continuously being killed and defeated!

In just a short time after the Yin army appeared, they had achieved such a glorious victory, much to Ji Xia's delight.

The ease with which the Dog Army was defeated was not because the Yin army was stronger, but more because the Dog Army had been scattered by the Hunting Army and the Cangwei Army, while the Yin army was well-prepared, concentrating on killing isolated Dog Army soldiers and sweeping away all the pigeon dogs.

Seeing the arrival of strong reinforcements, the Cangwei Army, originally exhausted, burst with renewed strength and began to counterattack.

"Roar!"

The gold-eating giant ape, whose arm had been severed by Ji Qianqing, let out a thunderous roar. Blood gushed from the severed arm like a fountain. The Dog General sitting on the giant ape's head looked extremely pained, as if his own arm had been cut off.

Ji Qianqing's face showed a look of interest. Her spirit energy was greatly depleted, but she was confident that the remaining spirit energy was enough to cut down this gold-eating giant ape, which could rival a Ninth Heaven powerhouse.

Indeed, her sword qi danced, each strike stronger and hotter than the last, forcing the already weakened giant ape to retreat with no place to go, only able to emit powerless cries of pain.

"Qingjun Sword, Decapitate!"

Finally, a three-zhang sword qi burst forth, cutting through the giant ape's head, severing it from its body!

The giant ape's body twitched a few times and then fell to the ground. The Dog General on the giant ape's head trembled, and all his blood vessels burst, killing him instantly!

With both Dog Generals dead and over eight hundred Dog Army soldiers beheaded, the other pigeon dogs, seeing the unstoppable force of the Yin army and the Cangwei Army, hastily threw down their weapons and tried to flee.

"Not one of them should be spared." Rong Lu, like Ji Xia, held a dog's head in one hand and a sword in the other, shouting angrily: "If we let one escape, Taicang's children will have a greater chance of dying at their hands. Kill them!"

The three Yin Generals, Yin Ding, Hei Ding, and An Ding, galloped past, cutting the fleeing pigeon dogs in half at the waist.

Ji Xia took a deep breath and muttered to himself: "It seems this calamity has been overcome."

Two hundred miles outside Taicheng, at the border between Taicang and Zhouqing, in the Cangqing Mountains, a girl dressed in luxurious clothing, wearing a green wooden hairpin, and with her face covered by a light veil, stood gazing at Taicheng from a distance. Beside her was a youth in silver armor, with a strong and slender build, a fair face, and no beard, extremely handsome.

"The seal in the mountains is becoming weaker. You were ordered to reinforce it, which is a very urgent task, but you still have the interest to watch the ants play."

The youth in silver armor smiled charmingly and spoke softly to the mysterious girl, but she did not respond, as if she hadn't heard him.

The youth's face gradually turned dark, and he also looked at Taicheng, two hundred miles away. A shadow of darkness flashed in his eyes, and the sky seemed to sense his anger, with dark clouds suddenly forming, blocking the three bright suns. A silver vertical eye appeared on his forehead, twisted and strange!

This youth had three eyes.

A bolt of lightning flashed in the silver vertical eye, and suddenly, the mysterious girl's cold voice came: "They are just ants. Why are you angry with them?"

The lightning in the youth's vertical eye instantly disappeared.

"I really can't understand why the human race, such a lowly species, dares to look like us," the youth said, his tone filled with shame, as if the human race's resemblance to them was a great disgrace.

The mysterious girl shook her head: "The vast wilderness is too large, so large that even the strongest in our clan do not know where its end is. In such a vast area, it is not unreasonable for a few things to be out of the ordinary."

"Moreover, there are countless races in the vast wilderness, and many of them look similar, all with divine forms. It's not too strange."

The youth in silver armor nodded and asked: "Yi Gui, when will you reinforce the seal?"

"It has already been reinforced," the girl called Yi Gui replied.

"Already reinforced?" The youth in silver armor was taken aback. The vertical eye in his eye shot out a silver light, penetrating the Cangqing Mountains, extending through the rocks, and reaching the ground beneath.

A hundred-zhang giant beast, neither bird nor leopard, was seen resting with its eyes closed underground. The area around the giant beast was covered with dense, bright red flowers, which emitted a terrifying aura, forming a restraining spirit array to suppress the giant beast.

The giant beast seemed to sense someone watching it and slowly opened its eyes, meeting the gaze of the youth in silver armor.

The youth in silver armor immediately heard the cries of countless infants. He seemed to see the earth overturn, and a strange infant with saw-like teeth and eyes like copper bells was devouring the earth, bite by bite!

Countless living beings and demons were eaten by the infant, including himself!

"Feng Su, with the seal here, you dare to be so bold?" The youth in silver armor coldly snorted, and the vertical eye's spiritual light surged, dispelling the illusion.

The giant beast, called Feng Su, heard the youth's rebuke but made no move, lazily closing its eyes and continuing to sleep.

"The seal is indeed reinforced," the youth in silver armor sighed with relief and smiled.

The mysterious girl nodded and disappeared.

Seeing her leave without a word, the youth's face, which had been full of charming smiles, suddenly turned dark.

He flipped his palm, and two brown fruits appeared in his hand. He put one in his mouth and casually threw the other into the void.

A ripple appeared in the void, and a massive, colorful python, over a hundred zhang long, emerged. Its head moved like lightning, swallowing the tiny brown fruit in front of it.

The youth in silver armor looked at the colorful python, a cruel look in his eyes: "Let's see who can kill more people, as usual."

The python's tongue flicked out, looking at the youth in silver armor.

The youth looked at the distant Taicheng and shook his head: "Forget it. Yi Gui just told me not to take these ants seriously, but now she's using them as targets, which is too petty."

He turned to the west, his cheeks bulging as he spat out a fruit seed from his mouth. The seed in the python's mouth also shot out, following closely behind.

The two seeds, seemingly containing great power, crossed mountains and rivers, flying into a small country to the west of Zhouqing, causing a huge explosion.

A small city with ten thousand inhabitants in this small country was erased by the two seeds.

The youth's gaze, traveling a great distance, saw this scene and nodded in satisfaction: "I won again this time."

The colorful python shook its massive head, seemingly dissatisfied with the result.

The youth in silver armor laughed again: "Are you still cheating? Last time, I wasn't interested, so I casually set the target as that small country, hitting a military camp."

"Although only four thousand people died, don't forget that you were greedy and swallowed the seed directly, so you lost."

In Taicang, Ji Xia, who was organizing a victory banquet, thought the destruction of the Cangwei Army was due to a meteor disaster. He never realized how close he had been to death.
