The Great World: Rise from Liuyu

“Brother Ye, I wonder what you think? This concerns the life and death of our Leihuo Plain. You, Zhanyue City, should also express more opinions.” Finally, Yan Kui looked at Ye Zhan, the lord of Zhanyue City on the other side.

This Ye Zhan looks like a young man in his thirties. His strength is slightly weaker than Yan Kui and Lei Wen, and he has just entered the third level.

Normally, the behavior of Zhan Yue City is not as overbearing as that of the other two parties. At this time, Yan Kui asked with a hint of threat in his tone.

Hearing this, Ye Zhan raised his head, his eyelids fluttering slightly, and glanced at everyone present.

"According to the information I received, the one attacking the Thunder Fire Plains this time was the Nine Nether Palace of King Nine Nether under the command of Daluo Tianyu. It is said that the Lion and Tiger Mountain has also joined the Nine Nether Palace, so the ones entering the Thunder Fire Plains this time were only the forces of the Nine Nether Palace and the Lion and Tiger Mountain..."

At this point, Ye Zhan turned his gaze to Yan Kui and said indifferently: "If I remember correctly, this Lion Tiger Mountain should have a big grudge with your Dihuo City, right? So their target this time is very likely Dihuo City, so I'm sorry, City Lord Yan, I don't want to get involved in your personal grudge."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around began to whisper.

Originally everyone thought that it was Daluo Tianyu who took action, but unexpectedly it was just the Jiuyou Palace under its command.

Although the forces of the kings of Daluo Tianyu also have considerable reputation in the Hundred Battles Domain, they are not irresistible compared to a behemoth like Daluo Tianyu.

Moreover, after hearing Ye Zhan's words, everyone immediately thought that the other party was coming to seek revenge on Dihuo City, and it was very likely that they would not be affected, so for a while, everyone's desire to abandon their family business and fight the enemy together became weaker.

Yan Kui was extremely angry at this moment, and he wished he could kill Ye Zhan right away.

I had finally managed to stir up these people's emotions of solidarity against a common enemy, but your opening words immediately destroyed everything. Are you a spy sent by the other side?

"Ye Zhan, you know the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold when they are gone"! Even though the enemy this time is only the Jiuyou Palace, they have already captured dozens of cities in just a few days. It is obvious that they want to occupy the entire Thunder Fire Plain. If we still have our own thoughts and do not join forces to fight the enemy, when the enemy army arrives, it will be too late!"

Unfortunately, Ye Zhan's expression did not change, but his attitude remained firm. He said, "What you do is your own choice. I will never give up Zhan Yue City. Even if they really come to attack us, Zhan Yue City would rather fight to the death with the enemy than give up the city on its own initiative."

Ye Zhan stood up and looked at the furious Yan Kui and Lei Wen who was frowning in thought. He clasped his fists towards everyone and said, "Let's stop here today. I still have to go back to arrange the city defense. See you later. Oh, maybe we will never meet again..."

Having said that, Ye Zhan stood up and left.

In this hall, there were three or four figures who followed Ye Zhan out. These were forces that were on good terms with Zhan Yue City, and they were obviously on the same side as Ye Zhan.

Yan Kui looked at this scene with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he really didn't dare to do anything to Ye Zhan and his group.

There is no other way. At this critical moment, the most important thing for him now is to maximize the power of the Earth Fire City, so that he can protect himself in the upcoming war.

Didn't Yan Kui know that only Jiuyou Palace and Shihu Mountain were coming? He deliberately didn't say it clearly, but chose to exaggerate the enemy's strength in order to put pressure on many forces, forcing them to come to help him defend the city.

Just like what Ye Zhan said, the hatred between Dihuo City and Shihu Mountain cannot be resolved at all, and the other party will definitely come here this time without seeking revenge.

Therefore, those guys will definitely attack his own Dihuo City, which is why he is so anxious to actively invite so many people to come.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Kui suppressed the anger in his heart, then looked at Lei Wen who was in deep thought on the other side, and said, "Brother Lei, Ye Zhan is short-sighted and is courting death. I wonder what you think, Brother Lei?"

Hearing this, Lei Wen raised his head, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "I still agree with what Brother Yan said. We should unite and fight the enemy together. But as I said before, I still hope that we can gather our strength and fight to the death in my Thunderstorm City and the Nine Nether Palace. This will benefit all of us..."

Raven's meaning was very clear. He agreed to the alliance, but he wanted to hold the initiative in his own hands.

Yan Kui couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He knew that with Ye Zhan's influence, the old fox Raven would definitely not give up the power so easily, so he had to either take a step back and agree to the other party's request.

Either this so-called alliance will fail completely, and the three major cities will still be in charge of their own affairs. At that time, the Earth Fire City will definitely be more dangerous than the Thunderstorm City.

It was precisely because he had understood all this that the old fox Raven looked so calm and composed, as if he was sure that he would not dare to object.

After gritting his teeth, Yan Kui finally agreed to Raven's proposal.

He said that he would personally lead the army of Dihuo City to Leiyu City and fight against the powerful enemy together with everyone.

As for other small and medium-sized forces outside, except for those who left with Ye Zhan, they all expressed that they would bring people to Leiyu City.

At this moment, Raven was in high spirits, and even seemed to be taking the initiative.

Soon, the gathering in Dihuo City dispersed, and everyone returned to their respective places, and agreed to meet in Leiyu City five days later.

During this period, all teleportation arrays are free for everyone to use, making it convenient for everyone to deploy troops.

This news soon reached the ears of Liu Bai and others, and at one point, the army under the Jiuyou Palace began to mobilize.

Over the entire Thunder and Fire Plain, smoke began to slowly gather towards the location of Thunderstorm City.

At the same time, in a medium-sized city called Liyue City, thousands of miles away from Leiyu City, Liu Bai stood on the square in the center of the city, looking at the tens of thousands of troops in front of him, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Miss Yue, how are your brother's preparations going?"

Beside Liu Bai, a woman in silver-white armor stood majestically. The tight armor perfectly set off her curvy figure, making her look heroic yet also a bit seductive.

"We are ready and awaiting your orders at any time!" The silver-armored woman clasped her hands together and said loudly.

This girl's name was Ye Yue, and she was the younger sister of Ye Zhan, the Lord of Zhan Yue City. The fact that she appeared beside Liu Bai at this moment proved that Zhan Yue City had actually been secretly embraced by Jiuyou Palace.

This is of course also Liu Bai's credit.

The entire Leihuo Plain is almost twice as large as the current territory of Jiuyou Palace. If one wants to truly occupy these places, it is certainly not enough to rely on the people and forces currently under Jiuyou Palace.

So from the very beginning, Liu Bai had been preparing to subdue the local forces in the Thunder and Fire Plain and use them for his own purposes.

And this Zhan Yue City was one of the lucky ones chosen by Liu Bai after careful selection.

First of all, as one of the three major forces in the Thunder Fire Plain, it is absolutely sufficient in terms of strength and influence. If Zhan Yue City steps forward, it can also make more small and medium-sized forces surrender directly.

Although Liu Bai intended to gain some experience points in this action, he was too lazy to take action unless the opponent was a strong man of the second rank or above.

Therefore, those small and medium-sized forces were mostly cleared by his Nine Nether Guards. He would only choose to take action unless there was a tough guy.

In this way, Liu Bai has accumulated nearly 3.2 million experience points, which is more than enough to be promoted to the third-grade supreme, but he did not do so.

After all, the strongest person in the Thunder and Fire Plain is only at the third level. If he were to upgrade himself now, it would affect the acquisition of experience points. Therefore, unless a stronger enemy appears, Liu Bai does not plan to improve his cultivation before the end of this battle.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 188 Destroy the enemy

Thunderstorm City is located in the southwest of Thunderfire Plain. It forms a triangle with Dihuo City and Zhanyue City, balancing the entire Thunderfire Plain.

The attack direction chosen by Liu Bai this time is exactly where Leiyu City is located, so it will become the target of the Jiuyou Guards' main attack next.

At this time, countless forces have gathered in Thunderstorm City. It can be said that nearly half of the forces in the entire Thunderfire Plain have been concentrated here. Such actions cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Nine Nether Palace, so at this time, the Nine Nether Guards led by Liu Bai have already arrived a hundred miles away from Thunderstorm City and stationed there.

In the big tent, Liu Bai sat at the head of the table. On his left were the Nine Nether Guards led by Fang Lei, Qiu Shan and other people, and the Lion and Tiger Mountain experts led by Liu Shi. On his right were the many Thunder Fire Plain forces that had surrendered along the way. But it was worth noting that among the group of people on the right, there were no experts from the Moon Chopping City represented by Ye Yue...

"Master Commander, there are already a million soldiers outside Thunderstorm City. Thunderstorm City Lord Lei Wen, Earth Fire City Lord Yan Kui and other strong men are stationed in the city. It seems that they are determined to fight us to the death here."

After reading the news the spies had obtained, everyone's face turned serious.

Liu Shi took the lead and spoke in a deep voice.

"In terms of numbers, we only have 100,000 soldiers at most, which is less than one-tenth of the enemy's. The difference in numbers between the two sides is obvious."

Liu Bai nodded but didn't say anything.

These 100,000 people were gathered after they gathered some local forces. Originally, Liu Bai only brought 10,000 people this time. Many of them died in the battles, and they were also dispersed to garrison in some important cities. Now Liu Bai has less than 5,000 troops.

This is only possible in this kind of fantasy and martial arts world. Otherwise, in the previous life, if five thousand people wanted to command one hundred thousand surrendered soldiers, they would have been drowned by the spit of others.

"So what if the gap is ten times? We have a thousand Nine Nether Guards led by you, sir. Facing that mob, we are not afraid even if our force is a hundred times greater than ours!" Qiu Shan said loudly with full confidence.

"That's right. Besides, the 1,900 Netherworld Guards under my command have grown a lot after several battles. I can basically mobilize their fighting spirit to fight the enemy, so Uncle Liu, don't worry. No matter how many people the other side has, it will be useless!"

This was said by Fang Lei.

After becoming the leader of the Jiuyou Guards, he also learned the method of consolidating the Jiuyou fighting spirit, which was a secret technique that only the king-level forces could master. After extensive training and continuous battles to accumulate fighting spirit, it has now begun to show results.

In the entire Hundred Battles Domain, apart from the three major forces, there are very few forces that can independently cultivate an army with fighting spirit, and these are all behemoths that can be compared with the kings, just like the Thunder Demon Sect...

But in the Thunder and Fire Plains, no force can possess such a foundation.

Looking at the confident Qiu Shan, Fang Lei and others, Liu Shi also nodded. He was also inertial thinking before. After all, the previous fighting style of Shihu Mountain was similar to these forces, relying on numbers and strength to fight head-on. He had never fought a high-end battle using fighting spirit.

After seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Liu Bai finally spoke.

"Okay, everyone is clear about the details. In the battle tomorrow, the enemy's million-strong army will be handed over to you. As for Yan Kui, Raven and others, I will deal with them myself."

"Yes, my lord!"

Everyone responded loudly and then left one by one.

Before leaving, Liu Shi and Fang Lei both looked as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Liu Bai knew that the other party wanted to talk about Yan Kui. After all, this was their life-and-death feud. Especially for Fang Lei, it was the revenge for the murder of his father. Naturally, he hoped to take revenge with his own hands.

But Liu Bai would not give him this opportunity. After all, that was hundreds of thousands of real experience points, and he was counting on these guys to help him upgrade.

The night passed quickly.

In a war of this magnitude, no matter how clever your plans or plots are, they are useless. What matters is that we fight with real swords and guns.

The brilliance of the rising sun was like a battle horn. When the sun just jumped out of the horizon, a fierce battle had already begun in front of Thunderstorm City.

Countless dazzling lights gathered in the sky, and the huge aftermath of the explosion directly destroyed the earth.

On the Jiuyou Palace side, the one thousand Jiuyou Guard veterans led by Qiu Shan, and the one thousand Jiuyou Guard new recruits led by Fang Lei, respectively, gathered a terrifying dark fighting spirit, and then under the control of the two of them, they directly destroyed all kinds of battle formations set up by the other side's million-strong army with a single blow, and even the wall of Leiyu City was destroyed in this blow.

The battle between the two sides became intense from the very beginning. Figures were turned into powder by various powerful attacks and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Even the most powerful ones could not guarantee their safety in such a great war, especially the Thunderstorm City side. Because they were unable to muster the will to fight, they could only watch the two Nine Nether Guards wreak havoc among the millions of troops, slaughtering any enemy who dared to stand in their way.

Inside Thunderstorm City, hundreds of figures stood and watched the battle outside. When they saw their men falling one by one, they could no longer hold back.

"City Lord Lei, City Lord Yan, the Nine Nether Guards are too strong. We cannot allow them to continue slaughtering them at will!"

An old man at the peak of the First-Rank Supreme Realm said in a loud voice with a face as gloomy as water.

"If they continue like this, even our million-strong army won't be able to stop them for even a day!"

"Yes, Sect Master Mo is right, we must stop them!"

"The Nine Nether Guards only have a thousand men, and their leader is only a First-Rank Supreme. With so many of us working together, we can definitely take them down!"

"Two city lords, give the orders!"

The noisy voices reached the sky. No one could accept this passive situation where they could only take the beating, so they decided to attack.

Raven frowned. Although he still wanted to rely on the advantage in numbers to consume some of the Nine Nether Guards' power, looking at how excited they were, he knew he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise these guys would really just give up and run away.

Looking at Yan Kui, the other party nodded imperceptibly. It was obvious that the two had the same idea before, and they were both prepared to use these small and medium-sized forces as cannon fodder. However, since it has come to this point, there is no need to stop them if they want to fight.

"Okay, then Sect Master Mo and Master Yunshan, each of you will lead 20 supreme masters to stop the two teams of Nine Nether Guards. If you can kill them in the end, if not, then hold them back and don't let them continue to slaughter at will."

Raven said solemnly.

"Yes, sir!" Sect Master Mo and Lord Yunshan, whose names were called, responded loudly, then each selected twenty people and rushed out of the city directly.

"The rest of you, follow me and City Lord Yan out to take a look. I want to see how powerful the Nine Nether Palace is. How dare they invade our Thunder Fire Plains on their own?"

The next moment, dozens of figures soared into the sky, and then arrived above the collapsed city wall, watching the fierce battle below.

The moment Raven and others appeared, the Jiuyou Palace discovered them.

Liu Bai looked at Liu Shi beside him and said with a smile, "They lost their temper so quickly. It seems that I overestimated them. Let's go. Now that their master has shown up, we can't lose our manners."

Afterwards, Liu Bai also flew up, and Liu Shi behind him quickly followed.

Compared with the dozens of densely packed people on the other side, Liu Bai seemed a little lonely. There were only him and Liu Shi. As for the rest, they were now leading their men to fight against the million-strong army.

"Liu Shi, long time no see. This must be the legendary Great Commander of Jiuyou Palace, Lord Liu Bai. He is really a young and promising man. At such a young age, he not only has great strength, but also an extraordinary status."

Above the sky, looking at Liu Bai and the other person arriving, Yan Kui spoke first.

As the saying goes, enemies become jealous of each other when they meet. At this moment, Liu Shi was looking at Yan Kui with a look as if he wanted to eat him up in one bite.

"Yan Kui, that day your Dihuo City joined forces with many powerful people to ambush our two brothers. I swore at that time that I would avenge you! If we meet again today, it will be the day of your death!" Liu Shi shouted angrily. If Liu Bai hadn't been standing here, he would probably have taken action directly.

"Haha, Brother Liu, what you said is wrong. As the saying goes, whoever kills will be killed. Back then, you from Shihu Mountain led people to invade my Leihuo Plain. You killed so many people and robbed so many things. I am just seeking justice for the people of Leihuo Plain who died in your hands." Yan Kui smiled lightly, as if with some disdain.

To be honest, he didn't expect that the Jiuyou Palace actually had only this much strength, and there were only two people who could be truly called masters... Although Liu Bai was the commander-in-chief of the Jiuyou Palace, he was only a second-rank supreme. At most, he could be invincible at the same level, but so what?

You have to know that there are three third-grade supreme beings here, and dozens of other second-grade supreme beings. Killing these two people is as easy as killing a chicken!

Originally, Yan Kui and Lei Wen were both worried that Liu Bai would lead the Nine Nether Guards to take action on his own. If that happened, they would really have some concerns. After all, the fighting spirit is enough to allow someone to kill enemies above their level.

Moreover, if the number of the Nine Nether Guards is sufficient, then if they are led by Liu Bai, they can even fight against a fourth-grade supreme being, so they are very wary of this matter.

But unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a fool. He had such a huge advantage and instead of using it, he took the initiative to jump out and confront them head-on. He was simply courting his own death.

"Haha, City Lord Yan is right. Those who kill will be killed. In that case, today is the day for you to pay with your life." Liu Bai smiled lightly.

"Hmph, you have such an arrogant tone!" Raven sneered and continued Liu Bai's words.

"I just don't know what qualifications you two have to say such things to us."

As soon as these words were spoken, a powerful spiritual power rose from the bodies of dozens of supreme strongmen from Thunderstorm City at the same time, instantly tearing the clouds above their heads into pieces, and the entire sky was wailing under this breath.

"Today, even if you, the Palace Master of Jiuyou Palace, come, you will never be able to leave my Thunder Rain City!"
