Chapter 49: The Dragon Descends, One Man Sweeps a Thousand Armies

Xu Yan looked at the damaged shops and felt a pang of pain. Many of these shops belonged to the Xu family!

"I was too impulsive! I shouldn't have acted in the city. With so many of our family's shops, even one destroyed would be a significant loss.

"Injuring innocent people would be even worse.

"Master said that martial arts are not about killing. Since I have the ability to control it, I shouldn't cause unnecessary casualties!"

The more Xu Yan thought about it, the more he realized he had been impulsive. He should have gone outside the city to fight.

As for capturing Jiang Ping Shan, Xu Yan had no such intention. He came to display his strength and give the old emperor of Qi a shock.

Defeating the Divine Might Army, which he considered the pillar of the nation, with one person—wasn't that shock enough?

From the rear of the Divine Might Army, a trembling voice called out: "Good! Let's fight outside the city!"

Jiang Ping Shan's voice trembled. He found it hard to believe that this terrifying power could defeat the Divine Might Army's charge with one person!

And this person had once had the chance to become his son-in-law!

At that moment, the scene from that day flashed in his mind, when Xu Yan had said firmly: "One day, you will regret this, thinking it was beyond your reach!"

Now, it seemed that his daughter really was beyond reach!

But Jiang Ping Shan didn't believe that Xu Yan could match the Divine Might Army!

In the city streets, the Divine Might Army couldn't fully deploy, but outside the city, it would be different.

That was the true battlefield of the Divine Might Army.

This time, to completely destroy the Heavenly Mother Sect and to build the prestige of the First Prince, the emperor of Qi had dispatched ten thousand Divine Might Army soldiers under his command!

Ten thousand Divine Might Army soldiers—how could a mere mortal stand against them?

"Retreat, gather outside the city!"

Jiang Ping Shan calmed his trembling heart and issued the order.

The Divine Might Army began to retreat. Even facing an opponent with superhuman strength like Xu Yan, the soldiers of the Divine Might Army did not show any sign of retreating.

As the Divine Might Army withdrew from the city, the people who had been confined to their homes came out, spreading the news with shocked expressions.

The foolish son of the richest family was going to challenge the Divine Might Army alone?

Even more shocking was the reaction of the prominent figures in the city, who found it hard to believe that Xu Junhe's son had cultivated such overwhelming power.

Where did he find a hermit master?

"Quick, to the city wall!"

"Go, hurry, this battle will decide the fate of Donghe County, and even the entire Kingdom of Qi!"

Many important figures in the county, accompanied by their guards, rushed to the city wall.

"Go, to the city wall!"

Xu Junhe also spoke solemnly.

"Sir, Madam, please!"

A guard led a carriage over.

Xu Junhe held his wife's hand and entered the carriage, with guards surrounding it as they headed towards the city gate.

"Mr. Xu, does your son have a chance?"

A voice came, and Xu Junhe looked out the window to see Kou Ruozhi and a group of Heavenly Mother Sect experts following to watch the battle from the city wall.

"Yan'er doesn't fight without a sure chance."

Xu Junhe said calmly.

"Of course, I believe in the might of the Great Sage of Heaven."

Kou Ruozhi laughed heartily.

"Mr. Xu, what about our cooperation?"

Kou Ruozhi looked full of anticipation.

"After the battle."

Xu Junhe replied evasively.

The group quickly reached the city wall.

Outside the city, the Divine Might Army was fully armed, the soldiers wearing heavy armor, holding long spears, and carrying long swords at their waists. Even their horses were armored.

"This is the Divine Might Army. Such a powerful army, how can one person stand against it?"

The many important figures and the crowd on the city wall were all amazed by the might of the Divine Might Army.

Truly, the army that upheld the nation of Qi!

"Dear, will Yan'er be alright?"

Xu's wife looked at the formidable Divine Might Army outside the city and couldn't help but worry.

"Since Yan'er dares to fight, he must be confident. Don't worry, my dear!"

Xu Junhe, though nervous inside, maintained a calm demeanor to reassure her.

Pharmacist Pan and other Xu family guards surrounded Xu Junhe and his wife, guarding against any possible attacks.

Kou Ruozhi and his group were further out, vigilantly watching the surroundings to prevent any attacks on the Xu couple.

At this moment, Kou Ruozhi actually hoped someone would attack the Xu couple, so that the Heavenly Mother Sect could have a chance to save them and earn a favor from Xu Yan.

However, the Heavenly Mother Sect didn't have the nerve to stage such a scenario. If exposed, they would face Xu Yan's wrath, which they couldn't afford.

The important figures in the city were all quietly watching Xu Junhe, waiting for the outcome of the battle. If Xu Yan won, they would try to build a relationship with him.

Xu Yan was excited, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. Looking at the surrounding Divine Might Army, his blood boiled, and there was a sound of surging waves within him.

His qi and blood circulated, and the Dragon Subduing Palm was ready to strike.

Since entering the martial arts path, he could finally unleash his full strength.

"These soldiers, though heavily armored, can't withstand my palm force. I'll hold back and not kill them all.

"I'm not a butcher.

"Besides, I see this as an opportunity to refine my control over my qi and blood, and to improve my mastery of the Dragon Subduing Palm."

With this thought, Xu Yan's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Come on, let me show you what a true martial arts master is!"

His voice thundered across the battlefield, reaching the ears of the spectators outside the city.

"Charge!"

Jiang Ping Shan, on horseback, took a deep breath and pointed his spear.

Boom!

The Divine Might Army charged, spears raised, horses galloping, like a flood from all directions, rushing towards Xu Yan!

The spears gleamed in the sunlight, and the rows of spears attacked Xu Yan from all angles.

Unless Xu Yan flew over the army, he would have to withstand the charge.

Could one person resist such a terrifying charge?

Could a mere mortal withstand it?

"Phew! The richest family's foolish son, his brain really doesn't work. How can he resist this?"

"He's dead for sure!"

The onlookers on the city wall couldn't help but exclaim, thinking the richest family's foolish son was really brainless.

The important figures in the city had the same thought.

Xu Yan was very powerful, possessing superhuman strength, but he chose to fight the Divine Might Army in a surrounded position, with no way to avoid or escape. How could one person resist the charge of an army?

He really was brainless!

"Come on!"

Xu Yan roared, pushing his palms forward, and two crimson dragons burst out.

Then, as his palms moved, one after another, crimson dragons continuously burst out, swirling and charging in all directions.

Xu Yan stepped forward, the Dragon Subduing Palm force surging, and the crimson dragons dived, swept, coiled, and charged. Each palm strike became more proficient.

The force of the palm was powerful, controlled at will, and the strength could be adjusted freely.

In Xu Yan's mind, the incantation of the Dragon Subduing Palm appeared: "The dragon has divine power, adapting to the situation... I understand it even more deeply!"

At this moment, the Dragon Subduing Palm reached a minor accomplishment stage, and the dragon-shaped palm force had a subtle "living" aura.

Boom!

A thicker dragon burst out, coiling around the entire battlefield with Xu Yan at the center, its tail like a whip, sweeping across the battlefield!

The onlookers on the city wall were stunned.

They saw Xu Yan's dragons sweeping the charging Divine Might Army, soldiers and horses falling to the ground, the flood-like army collapsing.

Row after row, they fell or were thrown away in all directions.

One man sweeping a thousand armies!

At this moment, the people in the city had only one thought:

The brainless one was actually me!
