Chapter 1163 Morale and Thick Skin Are Both Impenetrable Fortresses

Yue Bo, riding a black tiger and wielding a halberd, suddenly accelerated and thrust out with a thunderous strike. A surge of lightning erupted from the blade, striking Ji Yong and the others on the city wall.

Seeing this, Ji Yong smiled silently, letting the lightning surge towards him.

Rumble…

Just as the city wall was about to crumble, the protective field activated, emitting boundless golden light that effortlessly blocked Yue Bo's attack.

At the same time, Yuwen Jun and others arrived riding Yinglong.

Seeing this, Li Hongshan forced a smile and said, "Although this city protection area is not reinforced with Holy Spirit Stones, it is still the masterpiece of the Wuji Array Master. If we don't find the array eye, we simply cannot break it."

Yuwen Jun grinned and said, "I can tell that."

Yinglong slightly flapped its wings and propelled itself forward, stirring up a mighty gale.

Ji Yong's figure was like a majestic mountain. Seeing the enemy commanders arrive, he smiled sarcastically and said, "Aren't you a bit too hasty to start a decisive battle with me so soon?"

Ji Nan, standing behind him, also wore a smug expression.

The fact that the commander-in-chief arrived without a large army to assist him shows how anxious these people were.

On the battlefield, whoever gets anxious is likely to be defeated.

Yuwen Jun stood on high ground and looked down at Ji Yong, scoffing, "Is a mere Changmao Prefecture worth the personal defense of the Divine Realm Commander? Are the people behind the Commander all useless?"

After saying this, Yuwen Jun himself laughed.

Ji Nan and Luo Fu, however, remained expressionless.

If someone can utter such simple and direct provocative words, it's clear that their opponent can't find a better way.

Ji Yong laughed loudly, "Perhaps in your eyes I am also a good-for-nothing, but it is precisely this good-for-nothing that makes Your Highness unable to sleep or eat at night."

Yuwen Jun smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's alright. I have admired your beauty from afar at the border between gods and demons, but none of the people around me have ever seen your face. They have come here today simply to see your esteemed appearance."

Ji Yong subconsciously cupped his hands in a fist salute and said, "I never expected to have such a high opinion of me. I am honored by your kindness!"

Yuwen Jun pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, you have always been very proud, but I am not so proud either. How about this, you and I will fight each other. You have the advantage of cultivation level, and I have the advantage of true essence. This battle is fair. If we really fight, we will naturally suffer heavy losses. Why don't we fight to the death and decide the future of the war?"

"I wonder what you think?"

As he spoke, Yuwen Jun's aura surged, and unparalleled chaotic imperial energy spread out. Although he was only at the Lingxiao Realm, an invincible force instantly enveloped the mountains and rivers, like a king who ruled over everything.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yong, Ji Nan, Luo Fu, and the others' expressions stiffened slightly, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They knew that Yuwen Jun's current killing power could not be measured by his cultivation level, but they did not expect that Yuwen Jun's current aura was in no way weaker than that of a Wuji expert.

If facing a powerhouse at the early stage of the Limitless Realm, Yuwen Jun could defeat him.

Moreover, no one knows what kind of astonishing killing power Yuwen Jun will unleash if he really goes all out in battle.

If this child is not eliminated, he will become a scourge for all time once he enters the Boundless Realm.

But Ji Yong's emotions quickly calmed down.

"You are a renowned general who has commanded many battles; how could you act rashly?" Ji Yong said with a faint smile.

Yuwen Jun rolled his eyes and said with feigned helplessness, "Isn't this what you forced us to do? If Iron Mang City is defeated, then we won't have to fight anymore."

"Do you dare to fight me one-on-one?"

Ji Yong gazed at Yuwen Jun with a serious expression and replied confidently, "I wouldn't dare. In my heart, you are the future number one in the world!"

Yuwen Jun waved his sleeve and said, "As expected of the commander, you are indeed well-versed in the art of winning hearts and minds." "Since you dare not, then I shall take my leave."

"I will wait for you at Lianheng Mountain until you dare to fight me to the death."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yong cupped his hands in farewell and said, "I dare not fight you head-on for at least a month. Just wait and see."

Yuwen Jun waved his hand, then led everyone away from the place and back to Lianheng Mountain.

After Yuwen Jun and the others left, Ji Yong's expression gradually became serious.

Ji Yong pondered, "Although this person is young, he is very experienced and not easy to deal with. Just now, that chaotic imperial aura soared into the sky, which made me feel uneasy."

Ji Nan quickly and softly comforted him, "Brother, why boost the enemy's morale and diminish our own? As long as we remain steadfast, what can he do?"

"Furthermore, although this field is not blessed by the Holy Spirit Stone, it is blessed by His Majesty's Primordial True Essence, and there are also nine Primordial Killing Swords lying in wait. Even if they break through the formation, they will suffer heavy losses, with less than one in ten surviving."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yong smiled smugly and said, "That's true."

"The defeat of Chenmang Army in the past, and the subsequent defeats, were all due to underestimating the enemy and being careless. In addition, His Majesty was seriously injured at the time, which allowed the villain Yuwen Jun to get away with it once."

"His Majesty's cultivation has become increasingly unfathomable; how could a mere child like him possibly challenge him?"

All things considered, Empress Fuyao deserves at least half the credit for Yuwen Jun's conquest of the three city-states of the Divine Realm.

……

into the night.

In the mansion at the foot of Lianheng Mountain.

After numerous deductions and calculations, Li Hongshan, Nan Zhuo, and Guang all arrived at the same conclusion: Ji Yong would not engage in battle until the outcome of the Iron Mang City battle was decided.

Inside the main hall, the crystal light flickered gently, illuminating every dark corner, creating a dreamlike scene. However, none of them could come up with a concrete plan to defeat the enemy.

Yuwen Jun, sitting in the main seat, looked at Nan Zhuo casually and asked, "Let's assume that Iron Mang City couldn't be defended. What should we do next?"

Nan Zhuo's heart sank, and he lowered his head to answer truthfully: "Once the Iron Mang City is breached, we will definitely be on the defensive, but at that time, the alliance between the gods and demons will also be fractured."

"The gods want to deplete our national fortune, and the demons have the same plan. When that happens, both races will choose to go through the motions in the war. If the benefits are tempting enough, the gods and demons may go to war again."

"But none of these are the most important."

"Most importantly, I'm worried about those two..."

Those two were naturally the Human Emperor and the Spirit Emperor.

In the initial calculations, the God Emperor was also expected to appear on the battlefield of Iron Mang City.

Although it was a two-on-one battle, the God Emperor also had an Origin Chip and the assistance of the three-legged bird, so no one could say for sure what the outcome of the three kings' melee would be.

No matter how you calculate it, the God Emperor has a better chance of winning.

Yuwen Jun immediately ordered, "Tomorrow morning, send Zhang Benchu, Suo Chengguo, Xu Huanshan, and Xiao Chu to challenge them, with the commander-in-chief providing support."

"Although it doesn't work, the long duration of cursing can still make Ji Yong and the others feel uncomfortable."

"Furthermore, all soldiers who shout and curse will receive military merits. Whoever shouts the loudest and curses the most foully will be richly rewarded."

Yue Bo hummed in agreement, while Li Hongshan sighed.

Yuwen Jun smiled inexplicably and said, "We can't lose in terms of momentum. Besides, the outcome is still undecided, so no one dares to make any rash predictions about the future."
