Lord of the Earth

Half a day later.

One thousand five hundred miles away, in the Sakura Country area, the Divine Bird City!

"In front of us is the city..."

"Haha, we, a group of defeated soldiers, probably don't have the face to return to the city."

"Two hundred thousand men went out to fight, but only fifty thousand returned... My mother is still waiting for me in the city, and I really don't know how to tell her that several of my brothers have died in battle...

"I regret that I listened to Matsumoto Masanobu and joined the army... If he wasn't dead, I should have committed seppuku in front of General Tokugawa..."

Tens of thousands of Sakura Country troops were in disarray, their armor and weapons in disarray, and their morale was extremely low. They marched back from afar and only felt a little more alive when they saw the city!

"General Ii, please open the door quickly..."

A quasi-saint from the Sakura Country who acted as a pioneer shouted to the top of the city wall.

Although this city originally belonged to the human lord "Inoue", he has now been almost completely dominated by the people of the shogunate dynasty.

The strongest person guarding the city is also a trusted saint of Tokugawa Ieyasu!
"How did you end up like this? Didn't you take down the Divine Capital City..."

The guard on the city wall was full of surprise, but did not open the door immediately. Instead, he asked cautiously.

"The commander of the Qianxia Dynasty took action personally, and we suffered heavy losses... Please quickly open the city so that we can prepare for battle... The enemy may attack this place soon!"

After spending a lot of time to "confirm their identities", the Sakura Country army guarding the city finally opened the city gate in panic.

"No, why do I have a good feeling in my heart... Why can't I contact Koizumi Masashige in the city..."

In the army of Sakura Country, Hattori Hanzo had a bad feeling in his heart.

Because he originally wanted to use the ninja's secret communication technique to contact his trusted personnel who stayed in the city, but he did not get any response!

"Stop advancing and figure out the situation first."

Then, he tried to order the army to stop.

"Not good! General, the people from the Qianxia Dynasty are chasing us..."

However, at this time, a military commander from the Sakura Country who was in charge of the rearguard action reported in panic.

But behind the army, about a hundred miles away, a vast and majestic blood-red sea of ​​clouds with a "White Bone Relic Pagoda" suspended in it was approaching this direction!
The murderous aura rising into the sky shocked everyone. They no longer cared about any doubts and rushed towards the Shenniao City in a hurry!
"What! Bai Qi is chasing us? How can it be so fast?!"

"Yes, Bai Qi's companion item, the Army Formation Diagram, seems to have the effect of 'divine movement'. It is said that he once marched 3,000 miles in one night and destroyed a foreign city..."

Even the two geniuses from the Sakura Country felt a little frightened.

After all, the fighting power that Bai Qi had demonstrated before was too terrifying.

Matsumoto Masanobu, who possessed the strength of a saint, was "killed instantly" by him in one move, and "Nanabi", who possessed the power of the seventh realm, did not dare to fight him!
Given the low morale of his own troops, they really did not dare to engage in a "field battle" with the army led by Bai Qi himself.

"Hurry, go into the city."

Hattori Hanzo was still hesitant because he couldn't contact his confidants.

Honda Tadakatsu has already ordered everyone to quickly enter the Shenniao City. Only by relying on the advantage of defending the city can they fight against the pursuers from the Qianxia Dynasty!
After all, Shenniao City, as a city in the Sakura Country area close to the Qianxia Dynasty, has of course been built with the Qianxia Dynasty as the imaginary enemy.

It has all kinds of defensive facilities, mechanical equipment, artillery and crossbows. Even if a person in the seventh realm of transcendence brings a large army, it will be difficult to break through easily!
"Boom..."

Just as the Sakura Country's army was running in a hurry and the vanguard had just entered half of the city, a large number of weapons, crossbows, thunder bombs, and even gold juice that had been arranged in advance on the walls on both sides fell on the heads of these Sakura Country soldiers like a tide!

In just a short moment, a large number of Sakura Country soldiers who entered the city wall were killed, with broken limbs, blood and flesh scattered all over the ground.

It’s like a Shura scene!
"what's the situation!"

"Asshole, Ii, are you crazy?"

"No, that's..."

The Sakura Country army was caught off guard and was about to say something.

However, the "Three-Leaf Aoi" flag on the city wall representing the shogunate had been cut down by a weapon pulled out by a Sakura country general named "Ii", and it was replaced by a "Tianxingdao Flag" representing the army of the Qianxia Dynasty!
The face of the shogunate dynasty personnel in charge of guarding the place also changed accordingly, and he became the Jinyiwei commander of the Qianxia Dynasty, Tongzhi, and the army chief "Shen Lian"!
"We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Three more figures appeared behind him.

"Xin Qiji, the leader of the White Tiger Corps of the Qianxia Dynasty, aren't you trying to incite the people of our Qianxia Dynasty to rebel? Now let yourself experience the feeling of being betrayed!"

Xin Qiji, who was in the lead, had a cold expression on his face, and the words he said made the faces of the people in Sakura Country below change drastically.

What made them change color even more were the other two figures, one of whom was the "Lord of the Divine Bird City", Inoue Jiro.

Next to him there is a ghost-like figure shrouded in scarlet aura, that is the number one general in the Three Kingdoms period of China, "Ghost-God Lu Bu"!
"The Qianxia Dynasty actually instigated Inoue Jiro to rebel..."

At this moment, even Hattori Hanzo's expression under his helmet changed drastically.

You must know that the geographical location of this Divine Bird City is very important and you must master it personally.

For this reason, Ben Zhongduosheng even arrived one step ahead of time, became the "first military general" of this territory, and took control of its military power. He even deliberately left behind a saint and thousands of elite troops to guard the territory when he and others went to the expedition.

It can be said that it is theoretically impregnable!
But now, this city has been taken away by someone.

"Rebellion? Do you think too highly of yourself? This city lord voluntarily surrendered to the Qianxia Dynasty... As the Chinese saying goes, a wise bird chooses a tree to inhabit, and a wise minister chooses a master to serve!"

"Tokugawa Ieyasu, as a human, did not seek benefits for his own people, but took advantage of the war between the foreign race and the Qianxia Dynasty to attack from behind. Such behavior makes people disdain to associate with him..."

On the city wall, Inoue Jiro's tone was cold, and he looked at these people with great resentment in his heart!

"Especially you, Honda Tadakatsu. As a subordinate of my lord, you actually had the evil ambition to join the original master and try to seize my foundation... All this really makes you unworthy of the title of 'outstanding person'!"

"What are you saying about me, the best general in the Warring States Period of Sakura Country? I am not even worthy of carrying shoes when compared to Saint Lü Fengxian, the best general in the Three Kingdoms Period of China!"

Afterwards, he looked at Honda Tadakatsu below with a mocking tone.

"What did you say!"

Honda Tadakatsu's face suddenly turned furious.

You know, in history, he participated in fifty battles and never lost a single battle, not even injured, and was said to be blessed by the gods. But when he entered the Eternal Land and faced the Qianxia Dynasty, he did not win a single battle, and even lost many times to the geniuses of foreign races!

This has become an obsession in my heart, and now that it has been exposed in public, I find it difficult to cope with it.

"Come on, a fight of life and death!"

Honda Tadakatsu rode on the nightmare warhorse and launched a desperate attack on the "ghost god Lu Bu".

In fact, even if it is not a death sentence, it will not work at all.

Because the team he led entered the city first, they were trapped by the White Tiger Legion.

Only by defeating your opponent can you break out.

hum!
A flag in the shape of a horseshoe print stuck on Honda Tadakatsu's back suddenly emitted a glow. On this "battle flag", what was engraved was not something from the Kingdom of Sakura, but a very famous deity from the Kingdom of China who could capture and devour ghosts - Zhong Kui!
【Zhong Kui Flag (Gold)】

[Type] Strange object

[Features] Summoning, suppressing ghosts

[Explanation] A flag with the image of "Zhong Kui" can summon an incarnation of Zhong Kui, which has a powerful ability to suppress ghosts and creatures!

At this time, the statue of Zhong Kui on the flag seemed to be activated by some kind of power.

The next moment, Tong Ling's eyes glared, his hair and beard danced wildly, and the "Ghost-Slaying Sword" in his hand suddenly emitted a ray of light that nailed the body of "Ghost God·Lu Bu".

Let the latter have a towering figure.

Suddenly, there was a moment of stagnation!
"Chance……"

Honda Tadakatsu had a ferocious expression on his face, and he used all his strength to stab the Dragonfly Cutter in his hand, emitting a majestic holy aura, towards Lu Bu's chest!
This attack seemed to break the void, and it landed on the chest of "Ghost God·Lu Bu" as fast as lightning, penetrating directly from front to back.

boom!
There was also endless thunder and fire blooming on this spear, carrying an aura that was enough to destroy the soul!
However, the devil is always one step ahead of you!
There is also a difference in quality between strange objects.

Lu Bu's body now is the "Body of Revenge", and he also possesses two "quasi-Xuanhuang" level heavy weapons, the "Scarlet Castle" and the Fang Tian Huaji. Not to mention a golden wonder, even the power of a Xuanhuang heavy weapon may not be able to cause much restraint on him!

Therefore, when the indestructible dragonfly fell on it...

Instead, a horrific wound appeared on Honda Tadakatsu's body, and he was almost cut in half!

The rebound force of "Human Revenge Armor" causes the enemy to receive the same damage, and gains a corresponding increase based on the "hatred" with the human race!

Honda Tadakatsu used all his strength in this attack, but ended up suffering even greater damage.

Hey!
Then, Lu Bu also took action. The Fang Tian Huaji in his hand, accompanied by the shadow of a sky-swallowing wolf, fell towards Honda Tadakatsu!

Zhong Kui is naturally not weak.

However, if he wanted to fight against Lu Bu, who was also known as a "ghost god", he was undoubtedly not good enough and he only managed to deal one blow.

Facing Lu Bu's backhand swing of the Fang Tian Hua Ji, which contained endless power, he raised the "Dragonfly Cut" in his hand to try to resist!
"Crack!"

However, after the latter came into contact with the Fang Tian Huaji, it suddenly made an explosive sound and cracks appeared.

This magical weapon, which was famous in the history of the Sakura Country, was actually unable to withstand the power of the Fang Tian Huaji!

This is because this weapon can increase its weight by killing the enemy and absorbing their strength. Now the "Fang Tian Hua Ji" is as heavy as a mountain!
Not only did he cut off the "Dragonfly Cut" with one blow, but he also cut off Honda Tadakatsu's head.

It is obvious that the number one general in the Three Kingdoms of China is better than the number one general in the Three Kingdoms of Sakura Country.

To be more precise, the two are no longer on the same level!

Even though Lu Bu was now in a state of "remnant soul" and had not even used his own magical powers, Honda Tadakatsu was still defeated.

Even, he couldn't withstand the force of the "Fang Tian Hua Ji" attack!
It’s just because the continuous attacks have made the “most powerful general in the Warring States Period” of the Sakura Country lose his will to win!
For a saint, this is equivalent to cutting off one's own arm, not to mention that his opponent is the "ghost god Lu Bu".

Faced with the same difficulties, Lu Bu was able to get rid of his fear of death in his previous life and face death calmly.

He even had to sacrifice himself to protect the Red Hare that followed him to the eternal land!
However, Honda Tadakatsu was forced to die with his seriously injured Nightmare horse in a rage, and the difference in skill was obvious.

Wow!

After killing his opponent, the "Dragon Soul Battle Flag" behind Lu Bu fluttered, and a force rushed into the bodies of Honda Tadakatsu and his mount, the Nightmare Warhorse, pulling out their souls.

Afterwards, a large amount of soul power surged and merged into it, transforming it into a "Dragon Soul Warrior" who was short in stature but possessed the majestic aura of a saint!
"From now on, your name is Long Yi..."

In the eyes of the ghost god Lu Bu, there was a faint red light and a flickering wave of will!
Hiss, what is this?
Kill the opponent and even transform him into a follower of your own?

Such punishment is probably more of a life-and-death torture than letting a person die completely!
However, for the ghost god Lu Bu, the greater gain was obviously that after killing Honda Tadakatsu, a force was integrated into the Fang Tian Huaji and surprisingly completed the "painting pattern" on the weapon.

The light emitted by this famous Chinese magic weapon changed from its original jade white color to a dark yellow light...

【Fang Tian Hua Ji (Xuan Huang)】

[Type] Strange object

[Features] Fang Tian (Fang Tian Huaji has the ability to tear through the void, can injure people from a distance within a certain range, and can even temporarily confine a certain range of space)

Painted Halberd (The creatures killed by Fang Tian Painted Halberd will leave a "painted color" on the painted halberd to increase the corresponding power of the painted halberd. The more creatures carved, the higher the quality, and the heavier the halberd will become in battle)
Shura (Through Fang Tian Hua Ji, you can summon a powerful 'Shura clone' to assist in the battle)

Martial God (Ashura can merge with Lu Bu and transform into the 'Ashura Ghost God' form, temporarily advancing to the Xuanhuang assessment status)
[Explanation] Lu Bu's companion item can be further strengthened as Lu Bu grows.

And Honda Tadakatsu died in battle.

This undoubtedly also announced that the army of the Sakura Country had completely lost its fighting spirit...

"Kill them all, leaving no one alive!"

Especially when Bai Qi in the rear brought a large number of people from the Divine Capital with the "Military Formation Map" and also appeared on this battlefield.

This also means the end of this Sakura Country army!
When it comes to raising the butcher knife against the human race, other people may be hesitant, but the "human butcher" does not slow down at all.

In fact, according to the tradition of the Qianxia Dynasty, this Divine Bird City is just a starting point!

Next, the army will completely drill through the entire "Sakura Country Area", and everything is just self-inflicted! (End of this chapter)
