Two Martial Saints at the Great Perfection stage—Oliver Sheng was looking forward to the surprise they might bring him.
Otherwise, being invincible was too lonely.
In this quest to unify the world, he hoped to provoke a few ancient relics. Oliver Sheng was eagerly anticipating it.
Otherwise, sweeping through everything too easily wouldn’t showcase his true strength.
It wouldn’t achieve the effect of intimidating the world.
One night passed!
“Boom boom boom…”
“Woo woo woo…”
Outside Huling Pass, in the Great Wei barracks, the sounds of war drums and horns echoed.
“By the order of the Shengwu King, attack!!”
With a command, the Great Wei army began their assault on Huling Pass.
“Kill!!”
“Attack!!”
“Archers, unleash a rain of arrows!!”
“Catapults, fire!!”
The siege today was ten times more intense than yesterday.
“Defend the city!”
“Hold the line.”
The defending general shouted, and the Da Li army prepared to resist.
To counterattack, the archers on the Da Li city walls also launched their volleys.
“Whoosh whoosh!!”
Arrows filled the sky, and soldiers on both sides who couldn’t dodge in time fell instantly.
However, the Huling Pass, with its 800,000-strong army, only put up a symbolic resistance before starting to retreat.
When the Great Wei army breached Huling Pass, only a small portion of the enemy troops remained, unable to retreat in time.
Those troops immediately threw down their weapons and knelt in surrender.
This sudden turn of events left the Great Wei soldiers who had entered Huling Pass in a daze.
Had they won just like that?
Taking Huling Pass so easily, the Great Wei army couldn’t believe it was real.
It felt like a dream.
“Quick, report to the Shengwu King that we have taken Huling Pass and the Da Li army has fled.” A general ordered.
“Yes, General!!”
Soon, the messenger returned and reported to Oliver Sheng.
“Reporting to the Shengwu King, we have taken Huling Pass, and the Da Li army has fled.”
Wesley Hu, Felix Wu, and other generals exchanged glances.
Had Da Li really fled?
An 800,000-strong army, fortified at Huling Pass, would be impossible to take down in a year without a Martial Saint intervening.
But now they had fled just like that!?
Could it be they feared Oliver Sheng’s divine might and fled without a fight?
It must be so; otherwise, why would Da Li’s 800,000-strong army flee without a fight?
Wesley Hu, Felix Wu, and the others thought so.
“General, the Da Li army has fled. Should we pursue?” Wesley Hu asked.
“Could this be a trap?!” Xiao Chuyi said cautiously.
After all, it was an 800,000-strong army with a fortified pass. It didn’t make sense for them to flee without a fight.
“No matter. Since the Da Li army wants to flee, we will pursue. Leave 20,000 soldiers to guard Huling Pass.” Oliver Sheng commanded.
In truth, he had sensed the Da Li army’s retreat long ago but didn’t intervene.
He wanted to see what the Da Li royal family’s ancestor was planning.
“Yes, General!!”
With Oliver Sheng’s order, the army continued their pursuit.
Now, he only needed to lead the army and sweep through everything.
Once the Da Li ancestor was dead, the entire Da Li would be powerless to resist.
For him now, conquering Da Li was a piece of cake.
In the Da Li palace, upon hearing that the Great Wei army had occupied five states in the western region of Da Li and that the 800,000-strong army at Huling Pass had fled without a fight, Emperor Zhao vomited blood in anger.
What was going on?
Why hadn’t the ancestor intervened to stop the Great Wei’s advance?
Emperor Zhao Qingwu couldn’t understand. Three Martial Saints and an 800,000-strong army—could they really not handle the Wei army and the Shengwu King of Great Wei?
……
The Great Wei army pursued the Da Li army all the way to Gongyang Mountain.
“The Great Wei army has been lured here,” Zhao Tingsheng said.
“It was surprisingly easy!”
“Oliver Sheng must have sensed something!” Lingxuan Zhenren frowned.
Everything had gone too smoothly.
Oliver Sheng had led the army without hesitation to Gongyang Mountain.
This made Lingxuan Zhenren, a Yang Spirit at the Great Perfection stage, uneasy.
“No, only a few of us know about this. How could that scoundrel know?” Zhao Tingsheng thought the ancestor of the Kunlun Daoist Sect was afraid of Oliver Sheng.
Even if Oliver Sheng was a Martial Saint at the Great Perfection stage, incredibly powerful.
Couldn’t they, six supreme experts, handle one person?
“Lingxuan Zhenren, aren’t you overthinking this?” Ancestor Jiang also spoke.
“Let’s hope I’m overthinking!!” Lingxuan Zhenren murmured.
Years ago, when Oliver Sheng had killed four Yang Spirits of the Kunlun Daoist Sect, it had alarmed them.
He had calculated that if they acted against Oliver Sheng, there was a risk of death.
The Kunlun Daoist Sect had then ceased their actions against Oliver Sheng.
He only hoped that Oliver Sheng’s strength hadn’t grown too absurdly.
Practitioners of divination had a sense beyond ordinary people.
If not for the natural killing array they had set up in Gongyang Mountain, supplemented by three Ascending to Immortality Dao Tools, enough to kill any Martial Emperor or anyone below the Ascending to Immortality Realm, Lingxuan wouldn’t have agreed to ambush Oliver Sheng.
“We brought three Ascending to Immortality Dao Tools and set up this natural killing array. Once we lure that scoundrel into the array, even a Martial Emperor at the initial stage can be killed. Don’t overthink it. This time, that scoundrel will surely die.” Yin Xu Zhenren said confidently.
Sword Saint Sword Dust of Sword Dao Mountain, holding an ancient sword, half-lay on a green stone, his white hair fluttering, his eyes vacant as he gazed at the sky, lost in thought.
If not for the benefits promised by Yin Xu and the others, and the rumors that Sword Dao Mountain’s cultivation method had appeared on Oliver Sheng, and that Oliver Sheng could execute the sword technique “One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate,” he wouldn’t have wanted to get involved.
He wanted to see why Sword Dao Mountain’s sword technique had appeared on an outsider and to witness the “One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate” technique that even he hadn’t fully comprehended.
“Alright, let’s go. It’s time to welcome our main character. Otherwise, all our preparations would be in vain.” Yuan Song Zhenren said.
……
Seeing the Da Li army no longer retreating in front of Gongyang Mountain, Oliver Sheng glanced at the mountain.
With his powerful Divine Soul perception, it seemed like the mountain was harboring a terrifying killing intent.
“So, this is what you’ve planned to deal with me!” Oliver Sheng murmured to himself.
In Gongyang Mountain, the auras of three Yang Spirits at the Great Perfection stage, combined with a sky-piercing sword intent and the previous two Martial Saints at the Great Perfection stage, couldn’t escape his perception.
Now, his Divine Soul Yang Spirit was as powerful as the initial stage of the Ascending to Immortality Realm.
Zhao Tingsheng, Yin Xu, and the others’ little tricks couldn’t escape his perception.
The next moment, Zhao Tingsheng, Yin Xu, Sword Dust, and the other six walked out of Gongyang Mountain.
Six terrifying auras filled the sky, causing countless people to tremble from their souls, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
Even though the auras weren’t directed at the Da Li soldiers, they felt immense pressure.
Wen Renshu and Harrison Zhou couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
They were also Martial Saints, but facing those six terrifying auras, they felt fear in their hearts.
This was the gap.
The gap between them and the supreme experts at the Great Perfection stage of Martial Saint.
“This is the divine might of a Martial Saint at the Great Perfection stage!!”
In the Da Li army, many Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters showed fear in their eyes.
This was the fear of the weak in the face of supreme experts.
Fortunately, those six overwhelming auras weren’t directed at them. Otherwise, many wouldn’t be able to withstand the terrifying pressure.
“These six supreme experts are all here for the Shengwu King of Great Wei?!”
“Their attire is from the Kunlun Daoist Sect. Are they the ancestors of the Kunlun Daoist Sect?!”
Seeing the six supreme experts appear, many in the Da Li army were overjoyed.
It seemed they wouldn’t have to flee like defeated dogs anymore.
In the Great Wei army, Oliver Sheng’s aura soared to the sky, instantly countering the pressure from Zhao Tingsheng and the other five.
If he didn’t block the pressure from those six, many soldiers in the Great Wei army would be crushed to death by the sheer force.
Martial Saints at the Great Perfection stage and Yang Spirits at the Great Perfection stage stood at the absolute peak of this world.
With a wave of their hand, they could sever rivers and suppress seas. Their divine might was like that of gods, and ordinary people were like ants before such supreme experts.
“Kunlun Daoist Sect, you’ve finally shown yourselves.” Oliver Sheng’s gaze fell on Yin Xu and the other two.
Since he had killed four Yang Spirits of the Kunlun Daoist Sect, he had been waiting for the strongmen of the Kunlun Daoist Sect to appear.
He had waited until now!
