"Kill!" With Lin Qian’s command, Zhao Long took the lead, brandishing his spear and roaring as he rushed out ahead from the barriers condensed by the battleship.
Weapons unsheathed, all the soldiers charged out, storming towards the army of walking corpses.
They roared in unison, their war cries shattering the skies. The pale yellow Huaxia soul power surged continuously from the bodies of the soldiers, consolidating into an iron wall that soared into the heavens.
In an instant, the thick dust in the sky was dispersed, and the eternally dim south saw the sky for the first time, with bright sunlight shining down on the army’s heavy armor.
Lu Shangda, who controlled the Blood Nourishing Corpses, showed a look of astonishment on his face, followed by a quick reaction, commanding the walking corpse army to charge forward.
In the daylight, with the help of the blood energy, his walking corpse army seemed even more alive and harder to suppress.
However, when the walking corpse army collided with the enemy, it left him utterly dumbfounded.
The Black Blood Clan had not been exterminated and still had a foothold in the wasteland, relying on the walking corpse army.
Unlike the Blood Nourishing Corpses, the walking corpse army, fearsome and fearless, only obeyed the commands of the Black Blood Clan, knowing only slaughter and able to instinctively use soul skills from their previous lives, retaining their combat instincts.
Moreover, like the Blood Nourishing Corpses, their bodies were extremely hard, comparable in strength to Human Clan soul martial artists’ Primordial Weapons.
There had been many clashes between large numbers of the walking corpse army and Human Clan soul martial artists. Lu Shangda knew of a Black Blood Clan ancestor who had clashed with a dynasty faction before.
After the battle with that dynasty’s army, the walking corpse army completely defeated the opponent, the army of the dynasty suffering over half losses, while the walking corpses lost only a tenth.
But what was happening before his eyes sent a chill through Lu Shangda’s heart.
The opponent’s army was like a torrent of steel, instantly scattering his walking corpse army’s formation.
Moreover, their formation remained completely orderly, as organized as ever.
At the very front were large, robust men in heavy armor, holding giant shields at the forefront. With these shield-bearing soldiers present, the walking corpse army couldn’t stop the opponent’s advancement and could only watch helplessly as they continuously invaded.
Not only that, behind the shield bearers, there were soldiers wielding long spears, continuously thrusting and striking the walking corpses disrupted by the shield bearers.
With the protection of the shield bearers, these spear-wielding soldiers each found their mark successfully.
When Lu Shangda commanded the powerful walking corpses to charge at the shield bearers, they were intercepted by soldiers wielding battle sabers.
These saber troops fought fiercely, swinging their blades broadly with great strength, their lethality astonishing. Their moves were straightforward, aimed purely at maximizing attack power to kill the enemy.
In front of these saber troops, the powerful walking corpses had no advantage, usually being hacked into pieces after a few exchanges and falling to the ground.
Unable to do otherwise, Lu Shangda could only have the more agile walking corpses try to bypass the saber troops, but they were then blocked by the sword troops.
Although the sword troops did not possess the attacking power of the saber troops, their swordplay was dazzling, entangling the walking corpses and even more agile.
Often under the brilliant sword light, the walking corpses exposed their weaknesses, struck in the Dantian with a sword, losing their combat effectiveness.
In desperation, Lu Shangda could only command a part of the walking corpse army to rise higher, crossing over the range of the shield bearers’ impact, avoiding a frontal collision.
"With this, I see you... he... damn, what kind of fight is this!" Lu Shangda immediately exploded with furious curses.
Because his commanded zombie army had just leaped into the air, preparing to cross over, they saw a rain of arrows, condensed from Soul Power, falling from behind.
Each Soul Power arrow, forming a beautiful parabolic trajectory, seemed to have eyes, targeting those zombies and shooting them back one by one.
Even if a zombie was lucky enough not to be hit in the Dantian, it would be caught up by a sudden black shadow passing by.
When the black shadow disappeared, the blood-colored light in the zombie’s pupils had dimmed, completely losing its combat ability.
"How could this be?" the Blood Nourishing Corpse of the Giant Ghost Clan muttered, filled with confusion and incomprehension.
But in the next moment, a sharp spear tip was rapidly closing in, overbearingly and brutally, leaving no time to react, let alone resist.
The head of this Blood Nourishing Corpse from the Giant Ghost Clan was instantly blown up by the spear, and the violent twisting force turned the corpse into minced meat.
"Trash..." Zhao Long flicked his long spear, the blood on its tip sliding off, as he spoke disdainfully.
Just then, two breaking sounds suddenly rang out. Two Blood Nourishing Corpses, one tall and one short, suddenly burst forward at a tremendous speed, closing in on Zhao Long.
The Clan Leaders of the Giant Ghost Clan and the Dwarf Ghost Clan had also been turned into Blood Nourishing Corpses.
From these two Blood Nourishing Corpses, an even more terrifying pressure emanated, making Lin Qian, who sat on the Nine Dragons Throne, change his expression, "Life and Death Realm, Body Realm?"
The oppressive aura emanating from the Blood Nourishing Corpses was very familiar to Lin Qian, very close to the intensity of Gao Yuefei. He could guess what Realm they were in without much thought.
Two loud collision sounds erupted, and the two Blood Nourishing Corpses closing in on Zhao Long were once again blasted away, retreating several meters before stabilizing their figures.
"What?" In the great hall to the north, Lu Shangda stood up incredulously, his pupils filled with astonishment.
Luo Li and Moer were the strongest Blood Nourishing Corpses under his control, even upgraded to the Life and Death Realm, Body Realm after being refined. Logically speaking, how could this man in black dragon silver armor, merely at the Ninth Level of Sky Breaking Realm, possibly withstand the joint attack of two Life and Death Realm Blood Nourishing Corpses?
Meanwhile, in mid-air, Zhao Long raised his snow-white long spear, the spear tip directly pointing at the two Blood Nourishing Corpses, "Disappointing, disappointing to the point of anger!"
"Relying on such an army, without any discipline, coordination, and combat strength, mere corpses with realms but no combat ability, to actually dare offend His Majesty and even provoke the Huaxia Empire!"
"Disgrace, it is simply a disgrace. Against such trash, a squad of five million was already enough, yet I actually gathered a squad of ten million!"
Lu Shangda, controlling Luo Li and Moer the Blood Nourishing Corpses, was at a loss for words, merely using the crimson eyes of the Blood Nourishing Corpses to look toward Lin Qian, sitting high on the Nine Dragons Throne.
Ten million people, was already the entire number of the Black Blood Clan’s ancestors in the battle against the Dynasty’s army, yet this was just one of the opponent’s squads?
A single squad with ten million people, just how terrifying was the power of the Huaxia Empire?
"You... who exactly are you?" Lu Shangda, controlling the Blood Nourishing Corpse Luo Li, asked gravely as he looked at Lin Qian.
"Haven’t you already figured it out?" Lin Qian, with golden pupils, stared directly at the Blood Nourishing Corpse, who hastily shifted its gaze to avoid eye contact with him.
"The Emperor of the Huaxia Empire!"
