“Ji Fuyao, prepare to die!”
Zhang Chen’s form blurred, a long sword appearing in his hand. Terrifying Supreme Quasi-Dao Supreme Dao Patterns surged across its blade as he instantly traversed the void, appearing before Ji Fuyao to unleash a strike.
“One Sword, Long River!”
In an instant, a torrential surge of sword qi erupted, like an ocean converging. Above the void, a towering river of sword energy manifested, infused with the frigid power of Commander Zhang Chen’s sword intent, instantly solidifying into a river of ice.
Two Supreme Quasi-Dao Supreme Dao Patterns wrapped around it, radiating boundless killing intent!
Ji Fuyao’s graceful steps were light, but her jade hand tightened its grip. The Dao Patterns on her Heaven-Burning Spear flared to life, intertwining in a dense, intricate web as the spear erupted with flames.
“Heaven-Burning Art!”
Instantly, Ji Fuyao’s Dao and Momentum surged, growing ever more formidable. She stood amidst a Sea of Spirit Fire, like the Flame Ancestor reborn, radiating an overwhelming presence capable of incinerating the heavens and boiling oceans. Her aura was boundless.
Ji Fuyao swept her spear, unleashing flames across thousands of feet. A colossal Spirit Fire Dragon manifested, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it shot towards Commander Zhang Chen.
Boom! The icy river of sword qi and the Spirit Fire Dragon collided, unleashing an earth-shattering force. The void roared like thunder, and countless brilliant Dao Patterns were annihilated.
In that very instant, Zhang Chen vanished from his spot. His movement technique was incredibly swift, like a wisp of wind, bringing him before Ji Fuyao where he unleashed another sword strike.
Ji Fuyao’s exquisite face showed no trace of alarm. She simply thrust her spear forward.
Spear tip met sword tip!
In but an instant, a shattering sound rang out.
BOOM! CRACK!
Zhang Chen’s long sword instantly shattered into a Thousand Shattered Blades. The Dao Patterns on the fragments rapidly disintegrated. Disbelief contorted his face. His sword was a Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme Spirit Weapon, personally bestowed by the Ice Frost Empress, an artifact from the Outer World! It just… broke?
A colossal shockwave hit Zhang Chen’s heart, his face turning incredibly ugly. He tried to retreat, but it was already too late.
Whoosh! A spear gleam, like a bolt of crimson lightning, shot forth, piercing directly through Zhang Chen’s Brow.
He touched his forehead, his expression one of utter shock, as Blood Splattered. He stared at Ji Fuyao in disbelief. “You… what kind of spirit weapon is that?”
Boom! Commander Zhang Chen’s corpse plummeted from the sky.
At the same time, the terrifying clash between Zhang Chen and Ji Fuyao concluded. Zhang Chen’s icy river of sword qi continued to shatter, while Ji Fuyao’s Spirit Fire Dragon painted the void like a dazzling firework display, breathtakingly beautiful.
Witnessing this, Huang Fu and the others were utterly stunned. They had gravely underestimated Ji Fuyao’s power! To instantly kill Commander Zhang Chen with a single spear thrust!
Huang Fu stared intently at the long spear in Ji Fuyao’s hand, his expression grim. “That is a terrifying spirit weapon.”
The other powerful cultivators all looked to Huang Fu. “General, what do we do?”
Huang Fu remained unperturbed. “No matter. I have brought with me the Imperial Court Ancestral Artifact bestowed by Her Majesty, the Empress!”
An Imperial Court Ancestral Artifact! The hearts of all the powerful cultivators settled. Eight generations of Supremes from the Northern Plains Imperial Court had left behind Ancestral Artifacts when they broke through to the Outer World! With an Ancestral Artifact, what need was there for that mere spear? Was there any spirit weapon in the Northern Plains more powerful than an Imperial Court Ancestral Artifact?
Thinking this, Huang Fu gazed coldly at Ji Fuyao, his face radiating boundless killing intent. “Ji Fuyao, you have surprised me. But today, you must die, or you will truly become a grave threat to my Imperial Court!”
This was the best chance to kill Ji Fuyao! With that thought, Huang Fu swept his sleeve, roaring to the Ice Flame Army, the Black Flame Army, and the myriad city legions, “Attack!”
Instantly, countless figures rained down from the sky, shooting towards the ground. Brilliant divine radiance illuminated the void, an incredibly spectacular sight.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Figure after figure! Nearly ten thousand strong! The Imperial Court’s legions not only outnumbered Ji Fuyao’s forces but also surpassed them in cultivation, practically crushing them!
But Commander Wang Man and Commander Qing Yan showed no fear on their faces. They immediately gave the order. “Kill!”
Wang Man directly swung his Blood Axe, roaring, “Go completely insane!” and charged out wildly!
Boom, boom, boom! In an instant, the two armies clashed, and blood rained down!
At the same time, a mysterious smile played on Huang Fu’s lips. He sneered at Ji Fuyao, “Without that spear, what are you? What can you even do?”
As his voice fell, Huang Fu directly summoned an ancient Ancestral Artifact—a broken sword, rusted and worn, an artifact from the Outer World.
In ancient times, a Northern Plains Imperial Court Old Ancestor had obtained this very item within the Bronze Ancient Palace. Using it, he had carved a bloody path through the Supreme Path, ultimately attaining the Supreme Fruit Position. When he broke through to the Outer World, he had inscribed countless Dao Patterns and infused boundless profound insights into this relic. This was one of the Imperial Court Ancestral Artifacts!
With a thought, Huang Fu’s hand seals shifted, instantly activating all the Dao Patterns on the ancient broken sword.
Whoosh! The broken sword shot into the sky, gazing down upon the world with an air of absolute dominance. A terrifying Stance emanated from it, as if it could tear apart all creation.
Huang Fu sneered, directly activating the ancient broken sword to shoot forth. But its target was not Ji Fuyao; it was the Imperial Dragon Guard!
Witnessing this, the Imperial Court’s powerful cultivators were first shocked, then burst into laughter. “General is truly insightful! This is an open stratagem! Ji Fuyao must make a choice! Without her spear, she can’t possibly possess such formidable combat power!”
Whoosh! The ancient broken sword streaked across the sky, drawing ever closer, instantly imposing immense pressure on all the Fuyao Dynasty’s guards.
At this moment, Ji Fuyao’s face remained utterly calm. With a thought, her Heaven-Burning Spear shot towards the Imperial Court Ancestral Artifact with even greater speed.
“Hahahaha!” Seeing this, Huang Fu burst into laughter. He had guessed correctly! Ji Fuyao would indeed sacrifice her spear to protect her subordinates!
Instantly, a playful smile appeared on Huang Fu’s face. A terrifying spirit weapon materialized in his hand, and beside him, numerous other powerful cultivators also summoned their ancient spirit weapons.
Huang Fu sneered, “Ji Fuyao, how will you deal with this now?” He swept his sleeve and stepped through the air towards Ji Fuyao. “Kill this woman!”
Boom, boom, boom! Over a dozen powerful cultivators followed Huang Fu, flying towards her.
At this moment, Ji Fuyao extended her jade hand. In her left palm, the Eight Desolations Annihilation Flame materialized, instantly unleashing a wild, destructive power that painted the void. The entire sky seemed on the verge of being incinerated, and the surrounding glaciers and ice mountains began to melt.
This power was utterly ferocious! Huang Fu and the others revealed expressions of shock. “Another Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire! Isn’t that the Exotic Flame Her Majesty the Empress has been longing for?”
“Hahahaha! I didn’t expect such an unexpected gain this time!”
The next instant, the Extreme Cold Three Thousand Flames appeared in Ji Fuyao’s right hand. As this exotic flame emerged, an incomparably frigid aura surged through the air, causing everyone to shiver with cold. To Ji Fuyao’s right, the void itself began to freeze, and snow started to fall.
Everyone was dumbfounded! Huang Fu roared, “Damn it! The Extreme Cold Three Thousand Flames are in your hands!”
