The laughter was wildly extravagant, supported by overwhelming Inner Qi, rolling over the entire Imperial Palace like a tidal wave. Paired with the Red Dragon Dharma Form, the impact on the morale of the Imperial Guard was incomparably intense.
The red dragon-shaped Dharma Form dominated the fierce flames of the entire Imperial Palace, its aura far grander than usual days. Yue Qianfeng, dressed in dark armor and a red battle robe, held two battle halberds, his eyes electric, freshly clean-shaven only moments before yet now stubble already sprouting.
Li Guanyi suddenly felt at ease.
Yue Qianfeng glanced at Yan Xuanji, who nodded slightly.
The once foremost Fierce General now felt a surge of emotion.
This general of the later era had quietly surpassed him, surpassing one of the twenty-four Generals of the previous era. In the great era of turmoil, it was never said that the older one must be stronger than the later, from generation to generation, moving forward, making the world incredibly magnificent.
Yue Qianfeng, observing Li Guanyi, smiled faintly. The Red Dragon Dharma Form, evolving from a wide range of destructive Divine Abilities, became even more condensed, appearing behind Yue Qianfeng like a Heavenly God overlooking the battlefield below, making Li Guanyi truly understand why the top generals were listed in the Divine General List.
However, Yue Qianfeng, who had just made bold proclamations, did not seem as relaxed as he appeared, merely grunted in a low voice:
Li Guanyi hesitated briefly.
Yue Qianfeng had already turned, wielding a mystical weapon, while the Red Dragon Dharma Form howled towards the sky. He stepped onto the earth, his battle halberds stirring the Qi Radiance magnificently, tearing forward recklessly with an impressive momentum, while Yan Xuanji swiftly grabbed Li Guanyi and ran in the opposite direction.
Li Guanyi turned to look in that direction.
In a tremendous roar, the heavily armored Imperial Guard were flung upwards; the Red Dragon surged forward recklessly, nearly piercing the grand hall of the Chen Country’s Imperial Palace directly. But soon, another overwhelming force appeared, halting Yue Qianfeng’s action in an instant.
The two massive forces collided.
Thunder crashed down from the sky!
Visible ripples spread in all directions, cracking the ground and howling with the wind.
Even Li Guanyi, who was whisked away far by Yan Xuanji, felt the terrifying spread of power. His hair messed instantaneously, feeling a tingling at his fingertips, the tips of his hair slightly frizzing. His pupils contracted upon seeing rolling thunder clouds step out between heaven and earth.
The canopy of the sky suddenly pressed down fiercely, wild winds blew, and thunder rolled, striking down from the heavens!
[In the Eastern Sea lies Mount Liubo, 7,000 li deep into the ocean. Atop it resides a beast, resembling a cow yet blue-bodied without horns, single-footed; entering or exiting water invariably brings wind and rain, its light like the sun and moon, its sound like thunder, called Kui.]
A terrifying burst of wind pressure exploded, enveloping roars of thunder, and amidst the cyclone, a heavy hammer thundered forth. Yue Qianfeng crossed his arms, his dual halberds intersecting to forcefully block this strike. Thunder and flames entwined, casting the sky asunder, as a massive tornado formed right there.
Red flames and blue-purple lightning collided in this whirlwind, detonating.
Purple lightning spread to the heavens, agitating winds from all directions.
Yue Qianfeng’s gaze was piercing, staunchly resisting this move. The special material of the ground beneath his feet instantly shattered.
"Finally using the Divine Weapon, are you?"
Amidst the thunderous roars, a Divine General wielding dual hammers, with three gold spikes on his belt, stepped forward; the gigantic Kui Niu behind him, drawing thunder, appeared evenly matched. However, just moments before, this Divine General, barely past his prime, had used just one hammer.
Fifteenth in the Divine General List.
"Previously, out of respect for your bravery, I did not strike to kill twice, this time, Yue Qianfeng."
"I can no longer hold back."
Yue Qianfeng laughed heartily, the Red Dragon’s howling burst forth, wielding dual halberds as he charged forward into a bloody battle. Xiao Wuliang grasped the tremendously heavy Primordial Hammer, unleashing its mighty power, clashing fiercely with Yue Qianfeng.
The entire Imperial Palace seemed to tremble violently under the clash of the two Divine Generals.
Yan Xuanji led Li Guanyi swiftly away, Li Guanyi asked, "Can Yue hold on?"
Yan Xuanji was silent, then said, "For the duration of three incense sticks."
"Without the force of a grand army, without the assistance of a strategist, without the Formations of a strategist, now it’s purely a struggle of Martial Arts, power, will, without the slightest margin for error. Yue Qianfeng ranks thirty-fourth, but the top thirty, the top ten, the top five, all occupy different realms."
"At this moment, supported by fierce flames, his battle spirit unmatched, he can staunchly hold the fifteenth Divine General for the time of three incense sticks. During this time, he won’t be killed in battle. And our strategy has always been to attack the strongest with his toughest match, Xiao Wuliang."
"Now we need to find Yue Pengwu, release Yue Pengwu, with Pengwu’s Martial Arts and strategies surpassing Xiao Wuliang, he and Yue Qianfeng together would be enough to turn the tides, fighting their way out. But..."
Yan Xuanji looked at Li Guanyi, a struggle emerging in his eyes.
Li Guanyi said: "Then what are we waiting for?"
He watched the young man smile, his hair ends lifting slightly, despite the situation seemingly dangerous, he seemed oblivious to just how perilous the situation was, only saying:
"Let’s go find General Yue."
The young man grasped the Frost Battle Halberd, his eyes reflecting Yue Qianfeng’s dragon fire, burning brightly like flames, and Yan Xuanji had once seen such fire in another’s eyes._he heard Li Guanyi say:
