This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 691 The Western Lands' Counterattack

The Principality of Kalan.

Empire.

The once-prosperous capital city is now covered by the black banners of the Great Blue Dynasty.

This royal city was captured by Wang Chengze personally leading his troops.

Inside the royal city, besides Wang Chengze, the Martial Saint, there were also the Zhenxi Army and the Chilin Army, two major imperial guards.

According to Wang Chengze's original strategy, he would have chosen to divide the two imperial armies into two routes, so that they could sweep across the entire Duchy of Kalan as quickly as possible.

After Li Fei single-handedly wiped out tens of thousands of Western Allied troops on the coastline, he immediately located the launch site of [Ragnarok] and took control of Vander Weber and others who were in charge of the project.

Furthermore, information was gleaned from the subconscious of these individuals, confirming that a weapon like Ragnarok has been created across the entire Western Continent.

After Vander Weber and others were captured, it was almost impossible for the seven kingdoms of the Western Continent to produce a second Ragnarok in a short period of time.

Without this biggest threat, a top-tier combat force would be enough to dominate any Western Continent country.

Therefore, Wang Chengze initially planned to divide his troops into three routes, and even intended to lead the left wing army to attack the two kingdoms simultaneously, in order to establish as many military achievements as possible.

However, as Li Fei sensed the unknown danger through his Qi Luck perception and relayed the message, Wang Chengze had no choice but to abandon his original strategy and have the Zhenxi Army and Chilin Army join him to garrison the royal city of Kalan.

With the combined strength of three top-tier fighters, even if they were to encounter a weapon like Ragnarok again, they would still have a certain degree of self-protection.

Moreover, they are located within the capital city of Kalan. Unless the Kalan royal family and nobles who fled Kalan have become completely insane, they would not be able to use a weapon like Ragnarok on their own capital city.

As the sun sets, its blood-red rays spill onto the mottled walls of the royal city, bathing the entire city in a golden-red hue.

In the southwestern sky, hundreds of menacing 'steel giant bats' with dark red runes engraved on their fuselages almost blended into the sunset glow, their engines roaring with a strange rhythm, silencing all other sounds.

These are extraordinary fighter jets created by Xilu using a combination of exceptional casting technology and high technology!
The Western Allied Forces used these warplanes to deal with Li Fei, who was about to land, but all of them were eventually wiped out.

These extraordinary fighter jets that appeared at this time were the only ones remaining in the seven kingdoms of the Western Continent.

When the fighter jets were only one kilometer away from the royal city, Han Mu, the deputy commander of the Zhenxi Army, and other top-level grandmasters who were currently ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking, immediately sensed the approach.

He has the supernatural ability to sense danger.

歘——

Han Mu leaped up and flew over the royal city, looking southwest.

His eyes were sharp; although he couldn't directly see through the superhuman fighter's stealth, he had already sensed the approximate location and number of the 'enemy'.

"Enemy attack——!"

Han Mu's voice resounded throughout the entire royal city.

The Zhenxi Army and the Chilin Army, stationed at the two camps in the royal city, responded immediately.

The twelve thousand elite Crimson Scale Army soldiers reacted with lightning speed, their iron armor clanging loudly.

Almost within a few breaths of Han Mu's warning, a towering military formation, condensed from iron will and immense killing intent, rose from the ground. The crimson military aura was like a boiling sea of ​​blood, its killing intent chilling!
The newly established Zhenxi Army was slower in forming ranks, and because Han Mu, who was in charge of commanding the army, did not have the military skills of a 'commander-level', he could not form a 10,000-man army formation. Instead, two '5,000-man' army formations were formed by 6,000 Imperial Guards.

Such a military formation will collapse once the number of troops in the formation is less than 4000. The 'health bar' is too low, and the duration of its formation is far less than that of a 'ten-thousand-strong' military formation.

Once the two imperial guards had completed their formation, the superhuman fighter squadron had already arrived above the royal city—

The menacing cannons beneath the fuselage spewed out eerie blue flames, and the enchanted bullets with the 'Qi-breaking' effect tore through the air like a deadly purple meteor shower, slamming into the three military formations with a piercing shriek.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
The dense streams of purple light crashed violently into the baleful aura of the military formation, unleashing a deafening roar.

The military aura surged and rippled, relatively easily blocking this attack.

These extraordinary fighter jets can even threaten martial arts masters, but they pose little threat to the Imperial Guards who can activate their battle formations in time.

Han Mu did not remain seated in the formation. He let out a long roar, and the greatsword in his hand transformed into a hundred-foot-long crimson rainbow that tore through the sky!

The blade energy, imbued with an incomparably sharp martial arts domain, slashed fiercely towards the machine group.

Just as the blade's aura was about to devour several fighter jets, another unexpected change occurred.

The space around one of the fighter jets distorted, and lightning flashed. A towering phantom figure, clad in heavy armor shrouded in thunder and wielding a giant battle axe, materialized out of thin air.

This is the divine form of a Duke-level powerhouse!
The battle axe swept across the sky, clashing head-on with the blade's energy!
Boom!

The shockwave exploded, Han Mu's pupils contracted slightly, and without hesitation, he withdrew swiftly, falling back into the Zhenxi Army's formation below like a meteor.

He was confident he could defeat the Western Duke in a one-on-one fight.

However, there must be more than one Duke-level expert among these fighter groups; otherwise, attacking the two Imperial Guards would be suicide.

Violent explosions erupted outside the military formations and on city streets, sending flames soaring into the sky and billowing smoke and dust. Ordinary buildings were torn to shreds as if they were made of paper.

The Crimson Scale Army launched a fierce counterattack, unleashing a massive, molten blade of energy that shot into the sky, hundreds of meters long, carving crimson cracks across the heavens as if to cleave the sky in two!

However, these extraordinary fighter jets underwent special modifications before their arrival, sacrificing range to greatly enhance flight speed.

It can even maintain speeds exceeding seven times the speed of sound for a short period of time!
This left the Crimson Scale Army feeling helpless, like trying to kill a mosquito with a cannon.

If that were all, the Crimson Scale Army could completely ignore these opportunities, since artillery attacks posed no threat to their formation.

However, an attack belonging to a Duke-level expert would occasionally fly out from among these fighter jets.

All in all, more than forty dukes have made their moves in the fighter squadron!

This number is almost all the remaining dukes in the seven kingdoms of the Western Continent!
Twelve, three grandmasters skilled in teamwork are enough to threaten even the strongest experts.

Even if the forty-odd dukes cooperated only moderately, the presence of extraordinary fighter jets as their 'vehicles' was enough to pose a threat to the two imperial armies!

In the heart of the royal city, inside the royal palace of the Kingdom of Kalan.

Wang Chengze was alone in the main hall where King Kalan and his ministers were discussing matters.

When Han Mu ascended into the sky and issued a warning, the Xuanmo King also sensed a strong crisis!
The nine deities descended simultaneously, their domains overlapping, their oppressive power crashing down like a mountain of immense weight.

The twelve-winged angel radiated a holy light, its eyes cold and majestic!
The golden-armored war god, in his divine form, wielded a sword and shield, exuding an imposing aura and unparalleled power!
A colossal frost dragon hovered above the hall, emanating a chilling aura that froze the space!
These are the divine countenances of nine princes!
Nine princes joined forces to kill Wang Chengze!
Of these nine people, seven were rulers of their own countries. If it weren't for the current situation, which threatened the very existence of their nations and left them powerless to resist, these people would never have joined forces in their lifetime.

Now, the nine divine figures surround Wang Chengze.

The body of the divine figure was made of rock, exuding a majestic aura. The moment it appeared, this rock giant plunged its hands into the earth beneath its feet, and a thick layer of earthy yellow light instantly spread outward, enveloping the entire hall and forming a separate space.

A blurry shadow suddenly split into thousands of shadows, rushing towards Wang Chengze in an overwhelming manner.

The fiery demon roared, wielding a giant, burning hammer, and brought it down with the force of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.

Dozens of bolts of lightning also struck down on Wang Chengze's head.

King Moriarty of Ori, known as the 'Lord of Illusions,' had a glint in his eyes as he unleashed his divine form to launch a mental attack on Wang Chengze.
The three kings of the three most powerful nations immediately activated their divine forms to seal off the space around Wang Chengze.

The nine princes joined forces, each fulfilling their duties, their domains overlapping, their power as oppressive as a prison!
This kind of teamwork was clearly not the first time; the nine of them had rehearsed it in advance, leaving Wang Chengze almost no opening!
Normally, three prince-level powerhouses working together would be enough to contend with a newly promoted top-tier powerhouse.

With the nine princes joining forces, they have a real chance to kill a newly promoted Martial Saint in a short time!
However, Wang Chengze remained calm in the face of this deadly situation that could instantly cripple or even kill any newly promoted Martial Saint.

After Li Fei issued the warning, he had already guessed what Xilu might do in retaliation.

The most dangerous thing for him was a joint attack by all the princes of the Western Continent!
Both being top-tier combat forces, the strongest point of the 10,000-strong Imperial Guard is its 'durability' and 'high health'.

Furthermore, the Western Continent was unaware that the Zhenxi Army was unable to form a 'ten-thousand-strong' army. If a prince were to attack, the target would likely be Wang Chengze, the newly crowned Martial Saint.

So now that he has actually encountered nine princes, Wang Chengze is not panicked.

The combined power of the nine princes was indeed vast and immense, far exceeding that of him alone.

If Wang Chengze had never fought Li Fei before, his mind would be somewhat shaken by this attack, making him more vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

But after witnessing Li Fei's "ignorance of the sky," and experiencing the despair and suffocation of looking up at the blue sky like a mayfly, with even the thought of resistance almost crushed, one realizes the true extent of his arrogance.

In Wang Chengze's eyes, the combined power of the nine princes was nothing more than 'ordinary'.

This is probably it—

My peace of mind has already been shattered, so I'm no longer afraid of others disturbing my peace of mind.
In a flash, Wang Chengzhe did only one thing—

Fully activate the Dao principle of [Defying Fate].

Boom! Sizzle!

The powerful thunder, the giant hammer containing hellfire, and the mental impact all slammed solidly into Wang Chengze!

However, the anticipated scene of Wang Chengze's body exploding did not occur.

Wang Chengze's body jolted violently, his face turned ashen, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury!
But at the same time--

The shackles of holy light shattered, the shadow blades reversed, the raging lightning dissipated, and a mental backlash ensued.
All attacks, whether physical bombardments, energy impacts, or mental erosion, were like striking an invisible yet indestructible mirror the moment they touched Wang Chengze's body.

Bounce!

100% damage reflection!
"puff--!"

"Ugh—!"

Several shrill screams rang out almost simultaneously.

The giant hammer in the Flame Demon's hand exploded directly, starting from the shoulder, as if it were being crushed from the inside by an invisible force, breaking apart, twisting, and exploding inch by inch.

Prince Torres, who had unleashed his thunderous power, let out a muffled groan, staggered back several steps, half of his body charred black, and blood spilled from his mouth.

Moriarty, the 'Lord of Illusions,' groaned, his face turning ashen, the eerie light in his eyes dimming instantly, as if his own mental poison needle had pierced his sea of ​​consciousness, causing a splitting headache, and his divine form swayed unsteadily.
Of the nine princes, five suffered the consequences!

This is Wang Chengze's "Defying Fate" principle!
However, there is a limit to defying fate. Even if one does not encounter a Dao principle like the "Only I Have the Law," if the attack one encounters is too powerful or of too high a level, or if one is broken by a Dao principle, defying fate will also be broken.

The combined attack of the nine princes indeed exceeded the limits of Wang Chengze's "Defying Fate," so he himself was injured.

But caught off guard, he also seriously injured six princes at the same time!
This is the value of intelligence.

Xi Lu only knew that Wang Chengze was a newly promoted Martial Saint, but did not know what his specific Dao principles were.

If they had known about "Defying Fate" earlier, the nine of them would never have adopted their current tactics.

The sudden turn of events caused the other nine princes to halt their offensive, and their faces all showed expressions of shock.

According to their plan, as long as they can kill Wang Chengze as soon as possible, the nine of them can then join forces to deal with the two Imperial Guards outside, and together with more than forty dukes and a group of superhuman fighters, they can annihilate the two Imperial Guards!
The loss of three top-tier combatants in the battle of the Great Blue Dynasty means that no matter what the outcome of the battles between Martial Ancestor, Sword Ancestor and Li Fei is, the Western Continent can immediately reverse the situation!
Unfortunately, the first step of the plan went awry.

The prince, who possessed healing powers, immediately began treating Wang Chengze, while the others switched from offense to defense, using illusions and mental disturbances to hinder him.
In the first round of the contest, both sides suffered heavy losses.

The real test for Wang Chengze will come next.

The Principality of Briss.

Wenren Zheng's right-wing army is attacking cities and fortresses here, sweeping away everything in its path.

After conquering the Duchy of Briss, Wenren Zheng, who specializes in military strategy, finally showed signs of improvement in his cultivation!
In fact, when Wenren Zheng attacked the Western Kingdom alone, he had the opportunity to break through the bottleneck after he became an enemy of the country.

However, his Dao principles were damaged, his injuries had not yet healed, and he was constantly engaged in great battles, which caused him to be delayed.

Later, Li Fei used his luck to help Wenren Zheng heal his injuries and restore his Dao principles. After seven years of arduous cultivation, he finally made further progress!
Although he was not the commander-in-chief in this western expedition, Li Fei intended to give him more credit for the battles.

Once the art of war is truly used to unify the world, Wenren Zheng will attempt to take the final step after it is completed!
Up to now, the westward expedition has been going very smoothly.

But after receiving the warning from Li Fei, Wenren Zheng felt uneasy.

He had a premonition that his path to the summit would not be easy.

Sure enough, today he suddenly received a message from Li Fei via a long-distance communication device—

"I've been attacked. The enemy is very strong. Be careful!"

Wenren Zheng looked serious.

His cultivation level has been increasing over the years, but Li Fei's has increased even faster!

What level of enemy would Li Fei have to be to give a rating of 'very strong'?
Without hesitation, Wenren Zheng flew directly towards the Kingdom of Seferon and sent a message to Li Fei:
"I'm here to help!"

No matter how strong the enemy Li Fei encountered was, Wenren Zheng believed that he could definitely help.

After flying for some distance within the territory of the Principality of Bris, Wenren suddenly stopped.

The void in front of him suddenly began to fluctuate violently!
