You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

"This is?"

Everyone watched the storm dissipate in the void, their brows furrowing slightly.

I originally thought this would be a fierce battle, and it wouldn't be easy to determine a winner.

But no one expected that the fluctuations of the great battle deep in the void would stop in just a short while.

As the storm dissipated in the void, Han Xin and his group, as well as the five half-saints of the dynasty, all stared intently into the depths of the void without blinking.

Because this is related to the next battle between the two sides.

However, when the storm subsided, all Han Xin and the five semi-saints of the dynasty saw was Guan Yu and the two saints of the dynasty standing facing each other.

As for the outcome of the great battle, they couldn't foresee it.

"What a terrifying knife."

The two emperors of the dynasty stared intently at Guan Yu, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Even though they had heard that the Great Zhou's Lesser Saint Peak was very strong, when the two Saints of the Dynasty actually fought Guan Yu, they were still amazed by Guan Yu's strength.

No wonder the two Supreme Elders of the Ziyang Sect and the Qingyun Sect died and fled respectively.

Even with just the two of them, one at the peak of the Lesser Saint realm and the other only one step away from it, they could barely withstand two of Guan Yu's blows when they joined forces. Not to mention the two Supreme Elders of the Ziyang Sect and Qingyun Sect, who were not even at the peak of the Lesser Saint realm.

It was fortunate that the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect escaped with his life.

"Azure Dragon Dynasty, it seems your strength isn't all that great after all!"

"However, it's not bad that the two of you were able to withstand two of my blows. I just don't know if you can withstand my third blow."

Guan Yu stood proudly, his aura even more imposing than before, his phoenix eyes seemingly looking down on everything.

It wasn't that Guan Yu was arrogant; it was simply that these two sages of the dynasty were far inferior to the sect leaders of the Ziyang Sect and the Qingyun Sect.

Previously, Guan Yu had always been able to easily suppress the combined forces of the Ziyang Sect Master and the Qingyun Sect Master, let alone deal with the two saints of the imperial dynasty.

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Yu slowly raised the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand once again.

Compared to the previous two strikes, this time Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade was even more imposing and its cold light even brighter.

Guan Sandao's reputation was not earned for nothing.

Guan Yu's three strikes in the Spring and Autumn Period were each more powerful and terrifying than the last.

If the first strike is ten times more lethal, then the second strike is ten times more lethal, and the third strike is more than a hundred times more lethal.

hum! ! !
Guan Yu unleashed a single slash, leaving no trace, yet the entire depths of the void were illuminated by its sharp light.

however.

at this time.

A soft sigh suddenly rang out.

"A young saint at the peak age of less than a hundred years old, even in the Central Region Imperial Court, this would be considered a prodigy. I never expected that such a mere dynasty as the Great Zhou would suddenly produce so many monstrous geniuses."

As the sigh rang out, Guan Yu's expression changed slightly.

Suddenly, a figure slowly emerged from the void.

The figure was an old man with a full head of white hair, a thin body, and an aura of decay from the vicissitudes of time.

On the surface, it appears that even a light breeze could easily knock the old man over.

The third strike Guan Yu unleashed vanished silently after the old man appeared.

"Ancestor."

"We are no match for the Great Zhou Sage, and we have disappointed you."

Upon seeing the old man appear, the female and male saints of the dynasty immediately bowed and spoke.

"Ancestor?"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone was shocked.

The five half-saints of the dynasty stared in shock at the old man who had come out.

Ancestor?

The identity of this old man, who could command the respect of two sages and be addressed as "Ancestor," is self-evident.

The five half-saints of the imperial dynasty never expected that for this expedition to the Great Zhou, the imperial dynasty would not only send ten of them, along with two saints, but even their ancestor would come in person. This left them quite shocked.

It should be noted that the Ancestor is the pillar of the dynasty, and under normal circumstances, a being of the Ancestor's level would not easily make a move.

"Could it be an old monster from the imperial dynasty?"

Han Xin and Lü Bu were startled, and their expressions changed slightly.

Han Xin and Lü Bu had both understood the strength of the dynasty. The reason why the dynasty was able to become the hegemon of the entire Eastern Region and exert its dominance over the entire Eastern Region was mainly due to the deterrent power of the royal ancestor.

To become the ancestor of the royal family and exert such influence over the entire Eastern Region, one's strength must be above that of a Lesser Saint.

Han Xin and Lü Bu never expected that the Imperial Dynasty's attack on the Great Zhou would not only bring two sages, but also an old monster...

……

below.

On the ship's deck, the Divine Martial King's expression remained unchanged. Even with Guan Yu's appearance and the fact that the two sages of the dynasty were no match for Guan Yu, the Divine Martial King showed no sign of worry and remained as calm as still water.

It wasn't that the Divine Martial King remained unfazed by the overwhelming pressure, but rather that he possessed sufficient confidence to ensure that Guan Yu couldn't cause any significant trouble.

This is not.

The Divine Martial King's confidence emerged.

Before the ancestor, the Divine Martial King believed that Guan Yu was nothing to fear.

In contrast to the calm and composed expression of the Divine Martial King, Huo Qubing's face changed drastically upon seeing the gaunt old man.

"Ancestor?"

"The old monster of the dynasty?"

Huo Qubing stared intently at the old man in the void, a look of worry on his face.

Originally, Guan Yu's appearance gave Huo Qubing hope of stopping the imperial army.

But now, an old monster has appeared in the dynasty, so the outcome is hard to predict.

……

"Great Sage?"

Deep in the void.

Guan Yu stared solemnly at the white-haired old man who had come out.

Although the old man looked like an ordinary person and did not exude any particularly powerful aura, Guan Yu felt an unprecedented sense of crisis from him.

The one who could give him, a peak Lesser Saint, such a sense of crisis must be someone above Lesser Saint.

Furthermore, considering that the old man easily deflected the slash he had just unleashed, Guan Yu was certain that the old man was definitely at the level of a Great Sage, or even stronger.

"Hmph, so what if he's the Great Sage?"

"I'd like to see if a Great Sage who has comprehended the Three Laws can defeat the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in my hand."

The power of heaven and earth around Guan Yu began to tremble, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand began to gather power.

Without saying a word, Guan Yu immediately raised his sword.

moment.

A flash of light slashed from Guan Yu's hand.

To outsiders, it appeared that Guan Yu had only made one strike.

In reality, Guan Yu unleashed three consecutive strikes, each faster and more terrifying than the last. The combined attack of these three strikes was far more than a simple sum of its parts.

Faced with Guan Yu's terrifying three-sword strike, the Emperor's Ancestor raised an eyebrow slightly and immediately turned his hand, gathering the power of heaven and earth.

In an instant.

A dazzling sphere of light was formed, and streams of the power of laws solidified into the sphere as it rotated.

Rumble!
When the ball of light collided with Guan Yu's slash, a deafening roar immediately resounded in the void, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

The tremors from the aftershocks caused the patriarch of the dynasty to sway a few times.

Guan Yu staggered back more than ten steps before regaining his footing, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his face pale.

Obviously.

Compared to the founding emperor of the dynasty, it is obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.

"Not bad three strikes, not bad skill."

"If we were at the same level, I wouldn't be able to withstand your three strikes. I'm afraid even a typical Great Sage might not be able to truly defeat you."

"But unfortunately, I have been at the Great Sage level for hundreds of years, which is beyond the reach of ordinary Great Sages."

The patriarch of the dynasty swayed a few times, looked up at Guan Yu, and sighed.

Others might not be able to see the power of Guan Yu's attack, but the Imperial Ancestor, as the Great Sage, saw it clearly.

The three swords combined into one, each strike faster and stronger than the last, their combined power exceeding even the Little Saint's combat strength.

At this age, not only does he possess the strength of a peak Lesser Saint, but he can also fight against a Great Saint, which is beyond what can be described as genius.

In an instant, the emperor's heart was filled with a desire to acquire talent.

The patriarch of the dynasty looked at Guan Yu and said, "I have heard everything you just said."

"But I want to give you another chance. If you are willing to come to my dynasty or leave the Great Zhou and no longer be an enemy of my dynasty, then I will not make things difficult for you and will let you leave in peace."

Guan Yu gazed intently at the patriarch of the dynasty, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand transformed into a stream of light that entered his body.

Guan Yu's aura began to rise gradually, and his gaze toward the patriarch of the dynasty grew increasingly cold.

Upon seeing this, the patriarch of the dynasty sighed softly; "It seems you have made your choice."

Although Guan Yu did not speak, his actions had already provided the answer.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

The patriarch's face turned cold, and his withered hand slowly stretched out. The entire world seemed to be plunged into darkness as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Use blood as the catalyst, and soul as the blade."

"Man and sword become one, slaying gods and cutting down the heavens."

"Om..."

Guan Yu's figure vanished from the spot, and a blade of light shot into the sky, like a ray of dawn guiding the way in the darkness that seemed like the end of the world.

The ray of dawn gradually expanded, dispelling the darkness of impending doom.

I don’t know how long it took.

It may be a moment, or it may be a cycle.

The darkness of the apocalypse was dispelled, and the light of dawn replaced the darkness, illuminating the world once more, and the entire world was restored to its original state.

A trickle of blood began to slowly fall from above, seemingly out of nowhere.

Boom boom boom! ! !
A mournful cry echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

"how is this possible?"

"How can this be?"

Hearing the mournful sounds of heaven and earth and seeing the blood rain falling from the sky, the two emperors of the dynasty were stunned and looked on in disbelief.

They never imagined that the ancestor who had suppressed an era, the pillar of the dynasty and one of its two mainstays, would fall into the hands of a mere peak Lesser Saint.

This is simply unbelievable.

That's just too much to accept.

The two sages of the dynasty never imagined that their ancestor would be defeated and perish at the hands of a mere minor sage.

But no matter how hard it is to accept, the facts are the facts, and they will never change because of the wishes of certain people in charge.

Before the two emperors of the dynasty could react, a chilling blade of light rushed towards them.

"not good!"

The two emperors of the dynasty changed their expressions and immediately realized what was happening.

Unfortunately, it was too late; all they could see in their pupils was a small Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

The small Green Dragon Crescent Blade gradually grew larger in their pupils, then slowly devoured their consciousness...

Boom boom boom!
Once again, mournful sounds echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Another shower of blood slowly descended from the sky.

When Han Xin and the five half-saints of the dynasty were able to see the scene deep in the void, they were all horrified.

Because there were four figures deep in the void just now.

But now, only one figure stands in mid-air.

The figure standing in mid-air was none other than Guan Yu.

At this moment, Guan Yu was as thin as a rake, his face like that of an old man, his entire body cracked and stained with blood, as if he could collapse at any moment and disappear into the world.

A deathly aura emanated from Guan Yu's body, spreading into the surrounding void.

As for the other three figures, they had all disappeared.

Combined with the mournful sounds echoing through the heavens and the blood rain falling from the sky, it goes without saying that Han Xin and the five semi-saints of the dynasty had already guessed the fate of the dynasty's patriarch and the two saints.

"how is this possible?"

"How could our ancestor and the two sages possibly be defeated and perish at the hands of Guan Yu alone?"

The five semi-saints of the dynasty looked at each other, stunned and unable to recover for a long time.

They couldn't understand how the ancestor and the two saints could have perished.
The ancestor is a Great Sage, and such strength is among the top in the entire Eastern Region.

The other two sages were also formidable.

Even if the four top sects joined forces, they would surely perish together.

But now, Guan Yu alone has actually killed the patriarch and two saints. To be honest, this result was something that the five half-saints of the dynasty had never expected and were extremely shocked by.

Similarly, Han Xin, Lü Bu, and the other four were also dumbfounded.

When the dynasty's patriarch appeared, they thought they were in danger.

The ancestor of the dynasty was an old monster. The fact that two saints bowed and called him "ancestor" showed that the ancestor's strength was definitely above that of a minor saint.

It's highly unlikely that Guan Yu alone could stop the dynasty's patriarch and two sages.

Let alone blocking the dynasty's patriarch and two sages, even if Guan Yu were to block the dynasty's patriarch alone, Han Xin and the others felt that Guan Yu would have a hard time.

But no one expected that Guan Yu would turn the tide in the end, not only blocking the dynasty's patriarch and the two sages, but also directly killing the dynasty's patriarch and the two sages, which greatly exceeded their expectations.

Although the world had just been plunged into darkness, and Han Xin and his men did not know how Guan Yu had turned the tide, those things were no longer important now.

Importantly, the dynasty's patriarch has passed away, and the dynasty's two sages have also died.

This signifies that their Great Zhou has won this battle.

Without the dynasty's patriarch and two saints, the remaining semi-saints and army of the dynasty were no match for them.

However, judging from Guan Yu's current appearance and condition, Han Xin and Lü Bu knew that Guan Yu's annihilation of the dynasty's patriarch and two sages was not as easy as they had imagined, and that Guan Yu had probably paid an unimaginable price.
