I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he paused for a moment.

It was as if he was startled by the words that had just come out of his mouth.

Is it destiny's will?

If Zhou Xuan had said this half a month ago, he would have spat at himself.

His greatest skill is to be opportunistic, assess the situation, and play it safe.

But today is different.

Zhou Xuan took a deep breath and continued speaking, faster and faster, his voice growing louder and louder.

"I used to think that the most important thing in life was to be pragmatic."

"Whoever has the biggest fist gets to do the talking; whoever has the highest rank gets to follow the crowd."

"If you encounter someone you can't afford to offend, bow your head; if you encounter someone you can't handle, take a detour."

"By lying low for a while, he managed to climb up to the position of inspector."

"But after lying low for more than a decade, I discovered something."

Zhou Xuan's voice suddenly turned somber.

"The more the Dragon Kingdom tries to hide, the smaller its territory becomes."

"The more we tolerate, the fewer people we have left."

"Fortresses fell one after another. Occupied territories expanded in swathes. People died in droves."

"The peace advocates have been chanting for peace for twenty years, but where is the peace?"

"The alien races came in by stepping over our corpses, grew stronger by eating our resources, and then turned around and trampled on us again."

"If you tolerate it, he'll think you're easy to bully."

"If you back down, he'll take another step forward."

"You gave up your land in exchange for peace, and he took the land but wants your life!"

Zhou Xuan's eyes reddened; he had been holding these words in his heart for a long time.

"Xu Daozhen is truly at the ninth level, remarkable. The Heavenly Pillar of the Heavenly Pivot Bureau, remarkable indeed."

"But did he deserve it for what he did?"

"Lead the foreign races into the heart of the Dragon Kingdom, feed those beasts with the blood of our own people, and in return they'll say 'we'll stop fighting for now.'"

"Is this what you call peace?"

"That's called treason!"

Zhou Xuan's voice boomed across the wasteland.

Twenty meters away, Qin Zhenshan paused for a moment as he moved the box.

Chi Xiao's sword-holding posture remained unchanged, but his eyelids lifted slightly.

Several veterans of the Po Jun Division who were changing their equipment also looked up.

Zhou Xuan ignored those stares.

He walked up to Shen Tian and stopped.

She raised her head and looked directly into Shen Tian's eyes.

"Guard Shen, I, Zhou Xuan, used to be a greedy and cowardly person, and I don't deny that."

"But I've figured it out today."

"The path of martial arts is one of fierce competition!"

"It's not about winning or losing, it's about fighting for destiny!"

"Constantly retreating and yielding will not bring peace in the end."

"It is destruction."

Zhou Xuan clenched his fists.

"So I think you did nothing wrong."

"The Purple Spirit Clan is here! Kill them!"

"Lin Hai is a collaborator, kill him."

"Xu Dao is really dissatisfied?"

Zhou Xuan's lips curled upwards, his smile a mixture of madness and exhilaration.

"If you're not happy, let's have a duel! Whoever wins becomes the Heavenly Pillar!"

"Before the rise of martial arts in our Dragon Kingdom, there were precedents of emperors being made from 800 soldiers!"

Shen Tian looked at Zhou Xuan silently.

So long that Zhou Xuan thought he had said something wrong, and sweat began to break out on his back.

Then Shen Tian laughed; he was genuinely amused.

"Inspector Zhou."

"exist!"

You're talking a lot today.

Zhou Xuan choked, his ambitious expression instantly freezing.

"but--"

Shen Tian patted him on the shoulder.

The force wasn't strong, but Zhou Xuan's body trembled slightly.

"Well said."

It's just four words.

Zhou Xuan's nose suddenly felt a little sore.

He quickly turned his head away, pretending to look at the scenery, and forcefully suppressed the heat.

So embarrassing.

An old inspector in his forties was almost brought to tears by a seventeen-year-old boy's praise.

Zhou Xuan turned around to face Shen Tian, ​​standing straight with his feet together.

Then, he raised his right fist.

It slammed hard into his own chest.

He was a seasoned veteran who had been lying low for over a decade, and he shattered all the pent-up frustration and humiliation of his life with that one punch.

Zhou Xuan's eyes were red-rimmed, but he stood straighter than ever before in his life.

"Zhou Xuan, Inspector of the Po Jun Division, pays his respects to Guard Shen!"

Not far away, the other warriors of the Po Jun Division all turned to look.

Reggae paused for a second.

Then the towering man put the dark gold breastplate he was holding on the ground, turned around, and put his feet together.

He slammed his right fist into his chest.

boom!

"Lei Gui, commander of the Po Jun Division, pays his respects to Imperial Guard Shen!"

Ah Fei put down his short bow.

boom!

"Afei from the Po Jun Division pays his respects to Guard Shen!"

Lin Qingyi sheathed her sword.

boom!

Zhao Gang threw away the bandage in his hand.

boom!

One, two, ten, one hundred.

The sounds spread from near to far, from scattered to orderly, from individual to a torrent.

Three thousand warriors of the Broken Army Division turned around in unison on the wasteland stained with purple blood.

Three thousand right fists slammed down simultaneously.

boom! ! !

The earth seemed to tremble.

"Greetings, Guard Shen!!!"

The sound soared into the sky, scattering the drifting clouds.

Today, they fought a resounding victory on this land.

Behind them lay twelve thousand alien corpses, while on their side, not a single one was missing.

The person standing in front of them deserved that punch.

Shen Tian stood still, his gaze sweeping across each of their faces.

Ah Fei and his companions looked solemn, exuding a murderous aura.

Qin Zhenshan stood at the back of the crowd, quietly watching him, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Looking at Chi Xiao standing with his sword in his arms, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Seeing Chu Feng standing on the shoulders of the forty-meter-high puppet, he also saluted like them, shouting something, but his voice was drowned out by the roar of the three thousand people.

Shen Tian looked at them one by one.

He recognized some of these faces, but couldn't recall their names.

They come from different places and have different identities.

But at this moment, they stand on the same land, facing the same direction, shouting the same name.

Shen Tian suddenly felt something rising in his chest.

This time, it wasn't because of the system notification sound.

It was the shouts of the soldiers before my eyes.

He raised his head and looked into the distance; that direction led to Jiangcheng.

It is the place where he was born, the place where he buried his parents' clothes, and the place where he started his career.

Shen Tian smiled.

Zhou Xuan is right.

Eight hundred it is, no more coming to steal!

Whoever wins becomes the Heavenly Pillar of the Heavenly Palace!

So what if he's a ninth-tier martial artist? So what if he's the person standing at the very top of the entire Blue Star?

So what?

This land belongs to the Dragon Kingdom.

This sky belongs to the Dragon Kingdom.

He would personally reclaim every inch of the land that had been trampled upon by foreign tribes.

Whoever stands in front of you will die.

Whether he is at the ninth or tenth rank.

It doesn't matter if he's a pillar of heaven or the King of Heaven.

He made the first move.

Then don't blame the knife for not recognizing people.

Shen Tian raised his right fist, and three thousand pairs of eyes turned to look at him.

All sounds vanished in an instant.

The wind stopped.

Between heaven and earth, all was so quiet that only the sound of a heartbeat could be heard.

Shen Tian slammed his fist into his chest.

boom.

Only one sound.

But it weighs more than three thousand people combined.

He spoke.

"Gentlemen."

"From this day forward, no foreign race will have a foothold in the territory of Tianyun Prefecture."

"If you disagree, let him try."

"I, Shen Tian, ​​will continue killing."

Three thousand people drew their swords at the same time.

The blade is drawn from its sheath, its cold light reflecting in the sun.

The gleam of steel, under the setting sun, merges into a silver sea.

"kill!!!"

The roar shattered the last wisp of cloud on the horizon.

The earth trembled, and birds dared not fly across the land.

Shen Tian stood in the middle of this silver sea, with three purple spaceships, a kneeling steel behemoth, and the corpses of alien races scattered all around him.

The setting sun stretched his shadow long.

It stretched so long it seemed to extend from our feet to the horizon, reaching the very end of the earth.
