C140 Talisman of Divine Powers (Part II)

After discussing it, Huo Qubing and the other two decided that they would help Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and the others take down the Scarlet Flame Capital when they were on their way to support Yue Fei. After making a decision, the three of them immediately set off, transforming into three dazzling rays of light that shot towards the Scarlet Flame Communal Country at the speed of lightning.

However, what they didn't know was that at this very moment, the Crimson Flame Capital had also entered its final phase.

The entire Crimson Flame Kyoto City's great defensive array had already dissipated, and the capital's four tightly shut city gates had all been opened wide. Eternity Duchy's Great Tang Army and Heavenly Desolate Army, two large groups of armies, a total of more than five million troops were methodically receiving all of the capital's defenses.

The one million soldiers of the Redflame Capital and the two million men army that had been deployed to defend the city had all given up resisting and voluntarily surrendered. Everything seemed so peaceful and orderly.

Aside from the fact that the Imperial Protector's estate had been turned into flat land, the rest of the capital had been kept unharmed. It could be said that it had been peacefully received.

The only discordant aspect was the deafening rumbling of thunder and the intense tearing of blood outside the city.

Outside of the capital, dark clouds covered the sky and blotted out the sun. The sea of thunder covered the entire sky, and the lightning in the vast ocean took on five different colors.

Amidst the scorching and wild sea of lightning, there were four figures that were engaged in a selfless battle. These four figures were in a situation where three people were surrounding and attacking at the same time.

One of the figures had a red war lance in his hand, his entire body emitting a vast Qi, his Spirit Qi materialized into a blazing city floating above his head, it was obvious that he was a Epochrion.

The other three figures, two of them wielding Profound Rank war lance, and the other one wielding a green colored Guan Dao, emitted an aura unique to experts. There was no doubt that they were Saint Chiru, but these three figures were emitting a thick aura of calamity, and the five-colored lightning sea in the sky was because of them.

From the occasional flash of their bodies, it could be seen that among these four people, three of the Sacred Embryo Supreme Elders were young, while the other Epochrion was an incomparably old warrior. The young ones were all dressed in black profound gold general's armor.

The four of them braved the sea of lightning with all their might, risking their lives. Every single strike they sent out was aimed at their opponent's vitals. The four of them were injured to varying degrees, and traces of blood dripped into the sea of lightning.

In general, although the realms of the three Supreme Elders were low, their strength was not weak. With the help of the lightning, they were actually able to suppress the old man, who received the most lightning strikes as he was a Epochrion. In the lightning sea, the stronger he was, the more terrifying the lightning strikes he would face.

There was a corpse lying on the ground below the sea of lightning. The corpse was torn into pieces, and fresh blood splattered. On the head of the corpse, which was covered in fear, one could vaguely see that it was Scarlet Flame Capital's Protector General, Xu Wei.

What kind of situation was this? Why did the originally heavily guarded Crimson Flame Capital choose to surrender without resisting at all? And why did Xu Wei, as the general of the nation, die outside the city? And who were the four people fighting in the sky?

One day ago, all of the spirit stones in the Scarlet Flame Capital had been used up, and the reinforcements had been delayed. On the contrary, Eternity Duchy had reinforced her two million strong army, bringing with him several pieces of news that made everyone in the city feel despair.

That was, a million Eastern Arc Legion were completely wiped out in the eastern wilderness, and the first infantry legion of the Duchy was completely annihilated on the lava rock beach. The chief general, Zhao Jinhuo, died on the spot, and the five million beast army of the Duchy was dragged to their deaths on the way to Qianyu Duchy.

Not only that, there were actually two Epochrion who had just passed the Venerable Lightning Tribulations, and wanted to go and kill General Hu and the others of the Beast Army. Furthermore, the great army led by the Young State Lord was also trapped in the Qianyu Duchy, which meant that there would no longer be any reinforcements coming to the capital to assist them.

This series of earth-shattering news immediately caused everyone in the capital city to panic. Seeing that the capital was about to be destroyed, and that a desperate battle with blood flowing like a river was about to arrive, as the general of the kingdom, Xu Wei finally made a shocking decision.

At the same time, he had also ordered the three million strong army of people in the city to put down their weapons as they were unable to resist. They all accepted the arrangement set up by the Eternity Duchy, and he, along with the rest of the capital, chose to surrender.

He had originally thought that this matter would end like this, but who would have known that there was actually a Epochrion hidden deep within the capital palace. That was the old country lord of several hundred years ago, and in order to extend his lifespan, he had chosen to close his doors for life.

With this, a shocking change happened. The terrifying pressure of a supreme expert enveloped the entire capital, causing the vast amount of spiritual energy in the world to violently surge. The Old Sovereign angrily came out, and his monstrous rage seemed to burn the entire world.

As the general of the Kingdom's Protector, Xu Wei was even more worried. He was the Mayor, but now he was being ordered to open the gates and surrender. The King definitely couldn't let him go.

As the Lord of the Epochrion who had ruled the Scarlet Flame Communal Country for hundreds of years, he was well-informed and knew what was going on just by looking at the scene in the city. The Mayor must have ordered the city guards to surrender, which was why the entire capital was able to stay in one piece.

As the old king thought of this, his heart burned with fury. He struck out with his palm, instantly shattering the entire protector general's mansion, turning the luxurious mansion into ruins in the blink of an eye, ruthlessly killing tens of thousands of the surrounding citizens. Spirit energy surged out, overflowing with killing intent into the clouds.

The country lord crushed the general's mansion with a single palm and directed his murderous gaze towards Xu Wei, who was wearing the armor of a general. He flew out of the city in a panic, wanting to escape from this land of death as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, he was only an almighty Saint Embryo. Just as he escaped from the city, he was already caught up by the Epochrion's Country Lord. With a slap, Xu Wei's entire body was slapped in the face.

From the looks of it, he definitely wanted to slaughter the entire army of the Eternity Duchy. If he really did come here, the celestial army would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and if he really killed his way in, the capital would definitely be destroyed as well.

In this kind of situation, Zhao Yun took the initiative to welcome the war lance in his hand and decided to obstruct the Old Lord of Chi Yan outside the city. and Xue Rengui were afraid that he would fall into danger alone, so they quickly followed suit.

Thus, the Eternity Duchy's three powerful Holy clansmen joined forces to fight the Old Lord of Chi Yan. The battle lasted one day and one night, and neither side was willing to give up.

Who would have thought that Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Xue Rengui were all peerless heaven's pride experts, and actually managed to break through during the battle with the Epochrion. The three of them together attracted the thunder tribulation of the Venerable One, because it was three almighty beings that underwent the tribulation at the same time.

The four of them fought to their heart's content amidst the thunder tribulation. However, it was very obvious that the one who bore the greatest brunt of the thunder tribulation was actually not Zhao Yun and the other two, but rather the Old Kingdom Lord, who was undergoing the tribulation, and had become the main target of the thunder tribulation.

Because the Old Lord of the Epochrion was being struck by the Venerable One's lightning tribulation, the Five-Colored Heavenly Thunder Tribulations treated him as an anomaly that was interfering with the Heavenly Dao's circulation. This caused the Heavenly Dao to place its primary goal on him, and thousands upon thousands of giant Five Element Thunder Snakes charged towards him, chopping him inside out until he was puffy and covered in smoke.

"Ah." The pain is killing me too, this old man wants you to die! "

Once again being struck by a thousand Five Elements Thunder Snakes, the country lord couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, feeling the dregs of his life force being drained away. He knew that if he didn't kill the three people undergoing the tribulation, he would be the one to die.

Rumble. "

In the vast sea of thunder, Flame City, which had been floating above his head this entire time, had the aura of crushing the heavens and the earth. It shattered the countless thunder snakes, stirring up thousands of miles of thunder in the surroundings as it came crashing down like an indestructible ancient city.

The entire city was wreathed in flames, emitting tens of thousands of streaks of scarlet light. Spirit prints covered every inch of the city, and the entire city was incomparably hot; this was the innate divine ability of the Old Sovereign — the Crimson Flame City's Burning Technique!

"It's time for us to go all out. We can't care about the Thunder Calamity anymore, let's not conserve our strength. Let's get through this first. The Demonic Bull Strike!" Xue Rengui held the war lance in his hand and reminded Yue Yang as he stabbed it with all his might.

Following the straight thrust of the war lance, a black Demon Cow that emitted black Qi and was as big as a small mountain appeared in the sea of five-colored lightning.

The black demonic cow stepped across the sky, its head had two horns that were even longer and sharper than a spear. The demonic cow gave a low roar, and its feet trampled the air, aggressively charging towards Flame City.

"That's right, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I should kill this old fogey first, and then consider the Tribulation Lightning, the Azure Dragon Moon-Slaying Blade!" "Guan Yu was the first to agree, he raised his Guan Dao and slashed forward.

A green dragon over a thousand feet long bared its fangs and brandished its claws. It tore apart a line of giant five-colored lightning serpents and fused them into the Guan Dao amidst the roars of dragons. It slashed out with an aura that could split mountains and split seas.

"Kill! Silver Phoenix Attack the Nine Heavens!" Zhao Yun roared, the war lance in his hand struck out angrily.

A huge, silvery glowing figure of a Silver Phoenix appeared in the sea of thunder. It exuded an ancient, respected and majestic aura. The moment the Silver Phoenix phantom appeared, its majestic aura instantly crushed thousands of lightning serpents.

The Silver Phoenix spread its wings that covered the sky. As the war lance attacked the Flame Ancient City horizontally, it flapped its wings that were surrounded by ten thousand strands of spiritual light. The Myriad Lightning Sea looked like it was about to be cut open at this moment.

"Boom!" "

The world lost its color, the lightning exploded, and countless rays of light lit up the entire world. The sea of ten thousand miles of thunder seethed, churning violently, and rolling clouds covered the sky. At this moment, the lightning serpents that filled the sky began to shake violently.

"Pfft!" "

Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Xue Rengui flew out from the sea of lightning. A mouthful of deep red blood sprayed out involuntarily, and floated in the air like three blood clouds. Finally, the three of them forcefully controlled their bodies, and floated in the air with their slightly weak backs facing the sky.

"Crack, crack, crack." "

The sound of something shattering came from above the Flame City. Then, under the disbelieving eyes of Old Lord Chi Yan, the ancient city completely exploded with a bang. The shockwave from the explosion blew up thousands of giant thunder snakes.

"Pfft." "

His innate divine ability was broken, causing him to instantly suffer heavy injuries. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. The dark red blood shot into the sky, and his lifeless body was quickly drained.

"Boom!" "

It was supposed to be raining during the night, but right at this moment, the final wave of Five-Colored Heavenly Lightning Tribulations began. The entire sea of lightning came crashing down like the heavens were crumbling.

"Ah." No! "

The old king, who was floating in the air, was the first to be struck by the extremely terrifying electric sea which originally lacked life force. Adding to that, he, who had his internal organs injured by the combined attack of Xue Rengui and the other two, did not even have time to react before he was smashed to pieces by the sea of tens of thousands of kilometers.

"Inhale." "

This soul-shaking scene caused all the spectators in the capital city to suck in a breath of cold air. Zhao Yun and the other two were even more shocked.

It had to be known that the Old Master was still a Epochrion. Even if he was heavily injured and his lifespan was not enough, a skinny and dead camel was still bigger than a horse. He was actually smashed into pieces by the sea of thunder and exploded.

Just like before the apocalypse, the earth began to crack and the walls of the Crimsonflame Capital also started to shatter. Many of the weaker citizens in the city cried out miserably under the pressure of the heavenly dao and fainted, while the rest of the citizens had pale faces and blood kept seeping out from their mouths.

In such a serious situation, Xue Rengui made his decision immediately. He turned and flew quickly towards the ground, "Hurry, retreat and we will land on the ground." "

At the same time, he did not forget to give the order to the army in the city, "celestial army, immediately form the Iron-Blood Army formation and protect all civilians in the city! "

"Yes!" "

The five million celestial army s of the Crimson Flame Capital shouted out in unison, instigating their entire bodies' spirit energy. Monstrous blood energy enveloped the entire city, gathering everyone's strength, and conjuring blood-red spirit shields one after another to block off the impact of the thunder tribulation.

"Bang, bang." "

Many soldiers of the Heavenly Desolate Army vomited blood under the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, instantly receiving enormous injuries. However, they still chose to persevere, ignoring their own safety as they complied with the general's orders, maintaining the formation at all times to protect all the citizens of the city.

"The Iron-Blood Battle Array is invincible!" "

As the sea of lightning descended, the immense pressure it exuded grew even stronger, causing the pressure on the celestial army s to increase greatly. They immediately roared loudly, stomping on the ground, circulating the spiritual energy in their bodies to the extreme, propping up numerous blood-colored barriers to prevent the terrifying pressure from spreading to the entire capital city. However, as a result, many soldiers were severely injured, and blood kept flowing out from the corners of their mouths.

"This." These people. They. Were they protecting us!? The people of the Red Flame were touched.

"The Venerable One who came out of the palace killed tens of thousands of civilians without a care in the world, but these Desolate People would rather be injured than let us be harmed. We should help them!" Someone made a suggestion.

"That's right, helping them is helping ourselves. Otherwise, when the lightning sea strikes, none of us will be able to escape." A justification was immediately put forward.

"Alright, then we'll lend them a hand and immediately activate the defensive formation!" Finally, the citizens of the capital shouted.

"Activate the defensive formation!" "

Within the city, along with the cries of the citizens, the originally surrendered soldiers once again activated the Crimson Flame City's Annihilation Spirit Formation. Without any Spirit Stones, they channeled the spirit energy within their own bodies, and just like that, a huge fiery-red spirit energy barrier merged with the celestial army's blood colored barrier.
