At 100 years old, he joined the army in place of his granddaughter, and became a national war god.

Two tall and agile figures suddenly emerged from the Great Qian army formation, moving with the speed of a startled swan, heading straight for the charging war elephant formation.

Xiao Yunche's silver armor was stained crimson, and several deep wounds on his back and sides, revealing the bone, were gushing blood. His robes were already soaked in blood and stuck tightly to his flesh. He had been fighting for days and had clashed with enemy generals several times. He was already seriously injured and his breathing was unstable.

Yet his eyes remained sharp as cold stars, showing no sign of fatigue, his hand firmly gripping the spear, the tip of which was filled with chilling killing intent.

Xiao Yunchuan, standing beside him, was even younger, with a tall and straight figure like a green bamboo, exuding youthful vigor and sharp wit.

He had shed some of his usual gentle and composed demeanor, his brows now bearing the sharp edge of a battlefield warrior. The long sword at his waist was drawn three feet from its sheath, its cold light reflecting the crimson sky. There was not a trace of fear in his eyes, only an unwavering determination to move forward.

In the center of the Nanzhao army formation, the commander-in-chief Mengshan sat atop the back of the most majestic war elephant, clad in black armor, his face sinister and fierce.

Seeing the two tiny figures daring to charge straight into the elephant formation, Meng Shan's lips curled into a cruel sneer, his eyes filled with disdain.

In his eyes, mortal soldiers were no different from ants in the face of enormous war elephants.

"You ignorant fool!"

With a thunderous roar, Meng Shan's voice shook the surrounding area, piercing through the sounds of battle: "Two elephants, crush them!"

The moment the command was given, two adult war elephants clad in heavy black iron armor beside Mengshan took a heavy, thunderous step.

Rumble...

The earth trembled violently, and dust swirled everywhere.

These two war elephants were over ten feet tall, with bodies as imposing as mountains. Their thick hides were as tough as refined iron, and their bodies were covered with tightly stitched scales, making them impervious to swords and spears.

The thick elephant legs were like giant pillars supporting the sky. Every step they took cracked the ground. A strong wind carrying a heavy, malevolent aura rushed towards them, and the huge shadow instantly enveloped Xiao Yunchuan and Xiao Yunche. The oppressive feeling was suffocating and terrifying.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers of both armies engaged in battle around them instinctively stopped in their tracks, their eyes fixed on the scene. Everyone was convinced that the two young generals would be trampled into mincemeat by the war elephants in an instant.

Facing the two massive, crushing mountains, the Xiao brothers did not retreat an inch. Instead, they suddenly split up and each faced a ferocious war elephant, working in perfect harmony and without interfering with each other.

Xiao Yunchuan faced the roaring, charging war elephant in front of him with a cold expression. He suddenly rose into the air, displaying his superb lightness skill.

His movements were as light as the wind, gliding through the air like a shadow, completely unlike the clumsy and fierce style of ordinary warriors.

He covered a mere few feet in an instant, his body twisting and turning amidst the gale and the roar of the elephants, dodging the thick trunks of the war elephants that swept across, and also avoiding the giant hooves that stomped down from above.

"die!"

With a low shout, Xiao Yunchuan's longsword gleamed with a cold light, infused with his full body's true energy, its movements wide and powerful, fierce and domineering.

This is the Five Tigers Severing Gate Saber, personally passed down by Su Mu!

The five layers of sword energy overlapped, exploding fiercely. The sword wind howled like thunder, carrying immense power, and slashed fiercely at the thick foreleg joint of the war elephant!

Clang!

A deafening, metallic clang erupted, sending sparks flying.

The thick elephant armor trembled violently from the blow, and fine cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the iron armor.

The war elephant, in pain, let out a deafening roar of rage, its eyes instantly turning blood red, its ferocity fully unleashed.

Raising its two enormous front hooves high, it brought down with tremendous force, crushing Xiao Yunchuan, who was airborne, as if determined to shatter this tiny human on the spot!

The wind howled, the oppressive force was overwhelming, and there was no way to avoid it!

The soldiers of both armies tensed up and couldn't help but let out low gasps of surprise.

Just as the giant hoof was about to land, Xiao Yunchuan's movements suddenly changed. His body twisted strangely, neither dodging nor avoiding, but instead using the force to leap up and precisely grab the thick, long trunk that the war elephant was sweeping towards him.

With veins bulging on his arms and power from his waist and abdomen, he used his superb lightness skill and strong physical strength to flip his body in mid-air with the force of the elephant's trunk swinging, as if he were walking on the wind and clouds. In an instant, he steadily leaped onto the back of the war elephant, which was several meters high!

This scene shocked everyone present!

No one could see his movement trajectory clearly. They only saw a flash of green shadow before their eyes. The young general, who was just on the ground, was now standing on the back of a towering war elephant, his posture upright and as steady as a rock.

On the back of the war elephant, a dozen or so elite Nanzhao elephant soldiers, fully armed and wielding spears and scimitars, were originally positioned on high ground, overlooking the battlefield and waiting for an opportunity to shoot down the enemy.

They kept a close eye on the battle the whole time, but failed to catch Xiao Yunchuan's movements at all. It wasn't until his figure landed right above them that they suddenly snapped back to reality, their scalps tingling with fear.

"Someone's coming up!"

"Kill him now!"

The leader of the elephant army reacted the fastest, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he roared sharply, his voice full of fear and ferocity.

A dozen Nanzhao soldiers turned around instantly, their weapons gleaming, their cold light aimed directly at the lone Xiao Yunchuan, their killing intent palpable, and they surrounded him, ready to kill him.

On the narrow back of the elephant, there was no room to maneuver. Surrounded by more than a dozen elite soldiers, an ordinary general would have been torn to pieces in an instant.

Xiao Yunchuan stood in the center of the encirclement, his face cold, a faint sneer curling at the corner of his lips. His gaze swept over the group of panicked and cowardly Nanzhao soldiers, his voice clear and cold, yet carrying a penetrating sense of oppression.

"Do you still think you have the upper hand?"

Before he finished speaking, he had already moved!

The long sword flashed, its light like a waterfall, so fast that only a sharp afterimage remained.

The Five Tigers' Gate-Severing Saber technique progresses layer by layer, each strike ruthless and deadly, without the slightest hesitation.

puff!

puff!

puff!

The dull thuds of blades piercing flesh continued one after another, followed by heart-wrenching screams that instantly echoed across the wilderness.

Sensing the battle raging on its back, the war elephant beneath its feet began to sway and tremble violently, its massive body twisting wildly, trying to throw the humans off its back.

The immense force was enough to send an ordinary person flying and seriously injuring them, but Xiao Yunchuan possessed unparalleled lightness skills, and was as steady as a pine tree. No matter how wildly the war elephant bounced and swayed, he remained steady, maneuvering and leaping on the narrow and bumpy elephant's back as if walking on flat ground, calmly dealing with the weapons attacking from all directions.

The Nanzhao soldiers' scimitars and spears all missed their mark, unable to touch him at all. Instead, they were overwhelmed by his fierce sword strikes, completely powerless to fight back.

Xiao Yunchuan was extremely ruthless and never showed any mercy.

On the battlefield, showing mercy to the enemy is being cruel to one's own soldiers.

In just a few breaths, more than a dozen elite soldiers stationed on the elephant's back were all struck by long swords, each wounded, blood gushing out, and screaming in agony.

The final horizontal slash unleashed a powerful force, its chilling blade energy sweeping across all directions!

All the surviving Nanzhao soldiers were thrown back by the immense force, their bodies losing control, and they all fell from the elephant's back, which was several meters high.

Just then, the war elephant below, which was raging wildly, raised its massive hoof and stomped down with a thunderous crash!

Boom!

A series of dull, terrifying sounds of flesh tearing apart rang out.

The falling soldiers had no time to struggle or dodge; they were all trampled by their own war elephants, their flesh and bones rotting, blood splattering everywhere, instantly turning into a pile of minced meat, their bodies left no trace.

In a short while, there were no more Nanzhao soldiers left on the elephant's back; only Xiao Yunchuan stood there, sword in hand, covered in blood, his posture proud and his aura extremely fierce.

After dealing with all the enemies, he looked down at the war elephants at his feet, which were still roaring and restless.

This ferocious beast was extremely savage, constantly shaking its head and stomping its hooves, trying to break free of all restraints, still wanting to throw the boy off its back and crush him.

Xiao Yunchuan's eyes were cold and sharp. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand, swung his sword, poured all his true energy into it, and slashed down with both arms!

Click!

A sharp, resounding crack!

The thick, black iron armor covering the war elephant's back was cleaved in two by his single strike, cracking and falling off, crashing onto the yellow sand and kicking up clouds of dust.

Without the protection of its armor, the vulnerable spot where the war elephant's neck and spine connect was completely exposed.

Xiao Yunchuan's gaze sharpened, and he bent down to pick up a Nanzhao iron spear that had fallen from the elephant's back.

The spear was thick and heavy, and ordinary soldiers could hardly wield it with their hands, but now it was light and free in his hands.

He pushed off the ground with both feet, and using the force of the elephant's back swaying, he leaped into the air again, hovering high above the war elephant's head.

The next instant, he gritted his teeth, gathered all his true energy and physical strength into his arms, his veins bulged and his muscles taut, and raised the spear high in his hands!

"Die!"

With a low shout, the spear, carrying immense force and accompanied by a whistling sound as it pierced the wind, slammed straight down!

puff!

Absolutely accurate!

The sharp spear tip pierced through the war elephant's thick flesh in an instant, deeply penetrating the most vulnerable blood vessel in its neck!

The immense force pierced through the bones and muscles, almost burying most of the spear into the body!

Hey!

The extreme and intense pain caused the ferocious war elephant to let out a deafening, mournful howl that echoed through the heavens and earth. Its voice was hoarse and filled with the despair of impending death.

Its massive, mountain-like body convulsed and convulsed violently, its four hooves unable to support its heavy body any longer, and it collapsed forward to its knees!

Boom!

A deafening explosion rocked the earth!

The colossal war elephant, over ten feet tall, overturned heavily, its massive body crashing onto the yellow sand. The violent tremors swept in all directions, sending dust billowing into the sky, billowing sand and dust that stretched for several feet, obscuring the sun.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the enormous, ferocious beast fell completely silent, without making a sound.

The Nanzhao war elephant, feared by thousands and unstoppable, has perished!

In an instant, the entire battlefield, where the battle raged fiercely, fell eerily silent!

All the sounds of clashing weapons, roars, and screams ceased. Thousands of soldiers froze in place, their eyes fixed on the young figure standing atop the back of the dead elephant amidst the swirling sand and dust, their expressions filled with shock and disbelief.

On the city walls of Duanyun Pass, and on the battlefield outside the pass, all the soldiers of the Daqian and Nanzhao armies were completely stunned!

"My God, my God... how is this possible?!"

"Killed! Killed it! That young general, single-handedly, slew a war elephant?"

"Leaping onto an elephant, cleaving through heavy armor with a sword, piercing a neck with a spear! What terrifying power! What extraordinary skill!"

The soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty were all shaken, and exclamations of surprise rose and fell, their eyes filled with fervor and awe.

Previously, with war elephants leading the charge, the entire army was under immense pressure. They were forced into retreat by these enormous and ferocious beasts, and their morale was low.

But at this moment, Xiao Yunchuan single-handedly killed an invincible war elephant, instantly breaking through the gloom in everyone's hearts!

Not far away, in the army formation, Murong Di held a long spear. His usually calm and composed face turned completely pale. His eyes widened slightly as he stared intently at that tall figure, his heart churning with turbulent waves.

He had fought for many years, encountered countless powerful enemies on the battlefield, and met countless young generals with exceptional talent, but he had never seen anyone so extraordinary.

It is truly astonishing that someone so young possesses such terrifying combat power as to sweep away ferocious beasts and slay war elephants!

Tian Cheng, standing beside him, also had his pupils shrink, his face filled with shock, unable to recover for a long time.

I originally thought that the sixth prince of the Xiao family was just of noble status and had some cultivation, but I didn't expect that his real combat strength far surpassed that of a group of veteran generals on the battlefield. He was absolutely amazing!

Even Gongsun Yu, who was usually calm and composed, showed a deep astonishment in his eyes at this moment, his gaze lingering on the young man in the arena, full of disbelief.

At the back of the crowd, Shen Luotang supported her injured arm, breathing slightly heavily. A glaring bloodstain remained on the corner of her lips, the blood from the internal injuries she had sustained during the previous fierce battle.

She was calming herself down to stabilize her injuries when she witnessed this breathtaking scene. She froze on the spot, her clear eyes widening in utter disbelief.

She knew Xiao Yunchuan's age, but she never imagined that this seemingly handsome and gentle sixth prince would have such terrifying combat prowess on the battlefield!

Alone, he climbed the giant elephant and single-handedly slew the ferocious beast!

Such a feat is unparalleled among the younger generation of the entire Great Qian Dynasty!

Amidst the utter silence, the most enraged person was none other than Mengshan, the chief general of Nanzhao!

He sat atop his kingly war elephant, watching helplessly as his elite war elephants were brutally killed by a young man and crashed to the ground. The shock and rage in his heart instantly reached their peak!

This war elephant was a powerful and ferocious beast that he had carefully trained for many years. It had fought countless battles in the southern border region and had never been defeated. But today it died tragically at the hands of a young man from the Great Qian Dynasty!

Meng Shan's eyes were bloodshot, his beard and hair were slightly bristling, and a boundless rage swept over him. His murderous aura surged wildly as he stared intently at Xiao Yunchuan in the sandstorm, gritting his teeth and shouting fiercely!

"You brat! How dare you smash my beloved elephant and kill my ferocious beast of Nanzhao! You're asking for death!!"

"All troops, heed my command! Encircle and annihilate them!"

As the furious roar subsided, Meng Shan no longer showed the slightest contempt. He personally urged his most magnificent king war elephant to lead the remaining eight fully armed elite war elephants in front of him. They all turned around and, with overwhelming power, surrounded Xiao Yunchuan from all directions, locking onto him who was standing alone in the same spot!

The eight colossal elephants attacked simultaneously, causing the earth to tremble repeatedly. The eight mountain-like behemoths blocked all escape routes, and the pressure of death was felt from all directions.

At the same time, countless archers in the Nanzhao army raised their bows in unison, sharp arrows aimed at Xiao Yunchuan in the center, bowstrings taut, ready to be released, just waiting for the right moment to unleash a barrage of arrows!

On the other side, Xiao Yunche was still struggling against another ferocious war elephant.

He was already seriously injured, with severe deficiency of qi and blood, and his meridians were aching, making his qi circulation sluggish.

Faced with the thick-skinned, incredibly strong war elephant, they could only rely on their exquisite marksmanship to maneuver and dodge, exhausting the beast's stamina. They were powerless to launch a direct attack and could not break through the situation to kill the ferocious beast in a short time.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his sixth brother surrounded by eight war elephants and locked on by thousands of arrows. Instantly, his heart tightened and his expression changed drastically.

Eight war elephants attacked simultaneously, and a barrage of arrows blocked their path. Two fists could not fight four hands, and a tiger could not withstand a pack of wolves!

Even with his unparalleled agility and extraordinary combat prowess, the sixth brother would absolutely find it difficult to withstand such a terrifying encirclement attack!

"Sixth Brother, be careful!!"

Xiao Yunche roared fiercely, his heart burning with anxiety. Ignoring his own torn injuries and surging blood, he forcefully unleashed his true energy, trying to break free from the entanglement of the war elephant in front of him and rush to the rescue.

However, he was still dozens of feet away from the encircled battlefield, a great distance away, and there was simply no time to spare!

The battle situation is changing rapidly, and a crisis has already arrived!

Rumble!

The king war elephant under Mengshan was the fastest, charging forward first. Its thick, massive legs carried immense power as it swept across the enemy with a powerful blow!

A tremendous force slammed into Xiao Yunchuan's side!

Caught off guard, Xiao Yunchuan was unable to completely dissipate the force. He felt a violent and tyrannical force suddenly pour into his body, causing his blood and qi to surge instantly. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his body flew out of control as if he had been hit by a giant hammer!

puff!

In mid-air, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body crashed heavily into the muddy yellow sand, his body trembling and his blood and qi surging unsteadily.

"Heh heh, you ants, how dare you act so arrogantly?"

Standing atop the giant elephant, Meng Shan wore a cruel, cold smile, his voice chilling and menacing: "You brat, today I'll tear you to pieces!"

Before the words were even finished, the two war elephants on the left and right charged forward in unison!

Two enormous creatures, one on the left and one on the right, stomped down with all four hooves, towering above Xiao Yunchuan with a crushing, deadly force, as he was caught off guard and unable to get up.

Giant hooves blotted out the sky, shadows covered everything, and the threat of death instantly enveloped my entire being!

Xiao Yunchuan had just suffered a heavy blow, his blood and qi were churning, and his body was still stiff. He didn't have time to catch his breath and get up.

As the giant hooves rapidly approached from both sides and grew larger, his pupils suddenly contracted, and an extreme sense of crisis surged into his heart. There was no way to avoid it, and no way to retreat!

Dozens of feet away, Xiao Yunche's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He ran and roared with all his might, his voice filled with despair and anxiety: "Sixth brother! Get out of the way!!"

But the distance was too great, and it was all too late!

The soldiers held their breath, all convinced that this stunning young general would surely perish beneath the hooves of elephants today!

At that critical moment, when life and death hung in the balance!

A deep, majestic roar, imbued with boundless and powerful true energy, suddenly resounded from behind, shaking the heavens and earth and drowning out all the sounds of wind and beasts!

"You beast! Don't you dare harm my disciple!"

The next second, an even more domineering and magnificent dragon roar exploded across the sky!

"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, a technique that shocked the entire region!!"

The roar subsided, and the palm technique was unleashed!

Between heaven and earth, two dazzling golden dragons of true energy roared and took shape from the void!

The golden dragon had distinct scales and claws, a majestic body, and radiant golden light. Its roar shook the heavens, carrying an unparalleled power to suppress all things, tearing through the sky and covering thousands of miles in an instant!

In the blink of an eye, two magnificent golden dragons had already spanned dozens of feet across the battlefield, slamming into the bodies of the war elephants that were attacking from both sides!

Boom!!

A colossal explosion that could destroy the heavens and the earth resounded throughout the surrounding area!

The golden dragon power exploded violently, and its mighty energy swept in all directions!

Those two elite war elephants, each weighing tens of thousands of kilograms and as solid as a rock, didn't even have time to let out a single miserable cry before their massive, mountain-like bodies were blasted away by the endless dragon force!

The giant elephant, weighing hundreds of kilograms, tumbled several times in mid-air like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily to the ground dozens of feet away!

Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent; there was not a sound.
