Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

Jiang Wangzu's martial arts still have room for improvement, so the feeling of being trapped in a cage is still very faint.

But as time goes by, when he is truly invincible, this feeling will stay with him and never leave him.

Just like Wu Chongxiao, who sits firmly on the throne of the world's number one, is he really happy?

No.

So he confined himself to the snowy mountains, Baiyujing, living in his own world.

Emperor Tianyi may not be as strong as Wu Chongxiao overall, but they are probably about equal.

He was once an emperor, but was he truly happy?

Power and position are as fleeting as clouds to him!

If he insisted on sitting on the throne as emperor, like a true dragon that would pacify the world, even if the major warlords of the entire Republic of China were constantly making underhanded moves, they would absolutely not dare to truly rebel against him.

Because Emperor Tianyi not only represents the most noble status in the world, but also the pinnacle of martial arts.

If he wants to kill someone, no one in the world can stop him!

However, after defeating the allied forces of the Western Continent, he resolutely abdicated and gave way to a worthy successor, no longer caring about worldly power and status, and focusing on martial arts cultivation.

Perhaps if the gates of the ancestral land remain closed for too long, Jiang Wangzu may end up like Wu Chongxiao and Emperor Tianyi.

However, Jiang Wangzu was much more interesting than them.

He wanted to find a sunny island where he and his women could live in seclusion, a paradise where they could fish, sunbathe, and surf every day.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a whole bunch of healthy boys and girls?

…………

Donghai Province.

Jade City.

Commander-in-Chief Takeshi Watanabe of the Eastern Island Expeditionary Army urgently convened a meeting on operations in the Daxin Republic.

Because there are wars everywhere, many island nations in the East have been wiped out by the Southern Revolutionary Army, including all the military commanders.

As a result, the once-crowded meeting room is now sparsely populated.

"Gentlemen, the Southern Revolutionary Army of the Great New Republic is advancing with unstoppable momentum, and our Eastern Empire's army is being defeated one after another."

"If this continues, I'm afraid that within a year, nearly two million elite soldiers of our Eastern Empire will perish in this foreign land."

"I know the war is not going well, not because of the war itself, but mainly because the warriors of Takamagahara did not cooperate well with us."

"Not only were we outmatched in strength, leading to our death at the hands of the Grandmaster of Martial Arts of the Republic of China, but our generals were also repeatedly targeted for assassination by the Martial Alliance and the Bureau of Extraordinary People."

"At present, we only have one way to go, which is to capture the king first."

"At present, Pan Zhen, the leader of the Southern Revolutionary Army, and Jiang Wangzu, the leader of the Martial Alliance, are both in Nanjing, Jiangnan Province."

"If we take a desperate gamble, gather our remaining forces, and have all the Tongxuan Realm martial arts grandmasters sent by Takamagahara cooperate with us, we can take Jinling directly and kill Pan Zhen and Jiang Wangzu."

"Then the entire Great New Republic of China might descend into chaos again, and that will be our chance to retaliate, our Eastern Empire!"

"Therefore, I urge you all to do your utmost to gather your forces and join me in taking Jinling directly, where we will slay Pan Zhen and Jiang Wangzu!"

Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Army, Takeshi Watanabe, spoke in a way that left no room for argument.

The many Japanese generals in the conference room nodded in agreement; they couldn't think of any better ideas for now.

However, if they rashly withdraw their troops, they will be the sinners of the entire island nation of Japan and will surely be nailed to the pillar of historical shame.

Therefore, they had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and refuse to withdraw their troops!

"Hey!"

Everyone stood up and said in unison.

After the generals of the Republic of China in the Eastern island nation held a war meeting, they sent telegrams to various parties, organizing more than a million elite troops from the Eastern island nation to march directly on Nanjing.

There were seventeen Grandmasters of the Profound Realm accompanying the army, four of whom were martial arts Grandmasters at the peak of the Profound Realm.

Currently, Jinling only has one Grandmaster of Martial Arts, Jiang Wangzu, who is at the Tongxuan Realm.

As for Pan Zhen's army, it only numbered 400,000.

There are also capable people among the Japanese devils of the Japanese island nation.

They left behind some elite Japanese troops in the Northeast, Northwest, and North to delay the advance of the Southern Revolutionary Army.

Many more elite troops, however, were heading to Jiangnan Province in small groups through various channels.

By the time Pan Zhen realized what was happening, the Japanese island nation had already set up an ambush, trapping the city of Jinling where Pan Zhen was located inside.

"Order all units to travel light and provide immediate support to Nanjing!"

"Urgent telegram to all martial arts grandmasters: come to Jinling immediately!"

Pan Zhen did not panic when he saw that he had fallen into the encirclement of a million-strong Japanese army. Instead, he calmly deployed his troops.

Shanghai is close to Jiangnan Province, and 50,000 troops can arrive in a short time. Local troops and security forces from various parts of Jiangnan Province can also join the battle.

In addition, major army groups from the north, which are close to Jiangnan Province, are rushing to the scene.

Unless the Japanese devils can finish the battle in a day or two, as long as they can hold out for three days, reinforcements will keep arriving.

"Brother Pan, a million-strong army has appeared in Jiangnan Province and is about to surround Nanjing City. Your reconnaissance work is not good enough!"

Jiang Wangzu said with a faint smile.

"It's my fault for being negligent."

"Earlier, someone reported that a small elite squad from the island nation of Southeast Asia had appeared in Jiangnan Province. I thought they had fled from the north after their defeat."

"I never expected them to break into smaller units and plant them like nails in Jiangnan Province. By the time we realized what was happening, their million-strong army had already surrounded us."

"However, I guess that old Japanese devil Watanabe Takeshi is probably unable to hold on any longer, so he is trying to make a last-ditch effort to capture me by capturing the leader first."

"By the way, his risky move is probably unrelated to your presence in Nanjing."

"However, it is not difficult for my 400,000 troops to annihilate these million Japanese devils, but it would be too easy to break through their encirclement and join forces with other revolutionary forces."

Pan Zhen spoke with great confidence.

"No!"

"We can't retreat!"

Jiang Wangzu naturally did not doubt what Pan Zhen said, but he still rejected Pan Zhen's suggestion.

He continued speaking:

"We can indeed break through the encirclement, escape, and then regroup our army to fight the Japanese devils to the death."

"But you also said that old Japanese devil Watanabe Takeshi came for us. If we escape with the army, they will definitely unleash their anger on the people."

"What will happen to the people of Nanjing and the entire Jiangnan province then?"

When the Japanese devils were besieging Shanghai for a long time without success, they made a threatening statement that once they captured Shanghai, they would massacre the city's inhabitants.

These inhuman Japanese devils even committed massacres in many cities in Northeast, Northwest, and Northern China.

Jiang Wangzu will never forget the tragedy that occurred in Jinling in his time.

He felt that perhaps this was fate.

The fateful battle between the Republic of China and the island nation of Japan should be fought in Nanjing!

After this battle, the fate of the world will be decided!

Pan Zhen fell silent after hearing Jiang Wangzu's words.

Jiang Wangzu is right.

He knew all too well the nature of those Japanese devils from the island nation of Japan.

Nanjing is an ancient capital of six dynasties, and in terms of prosperity, it is only second to a few places such as Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, and Guangzhou.

Once they break through the encirclement, the people of Jinling will suffer.
