In an instant, within the valley, only the sound of True Qi echoed.
Qin Tian and the Martial King stood facing each other, separated by several ters, neither moving nor speaking.
It seed as if both were injured.
It seed as if both were exhausted and needed rest.
After a mont, when Qin Tian's gaze locked onto the Martial King, the Martial King also suddenly lifted his head, staring directly at Qin Tian!
"Puff!"
A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out. Though it looked like a draw, in reality, the Martial King had been severely injured by Qin Tian's Four Dragon Power.
anwhile, Qin Tian felt his Dan Tian Qi Sea blood vessels churning a little. It wasn't considered a serious injury, more like a minor shock to his organs.
"Hahaha...hahaha..."
Suddenly, the Martial King looked up to the sky and laughed crazily. In his hand, that gleaming golden saber appeared, as if a great demon had descended!
However, at this mont, he was only putting on a brave front. Qin Tian could see that the Martial King was already on the brink of exhaustion.
"Hahaha...who would have thought, just a little ant like you could actually shake this king!"
The Martial King glared at Qin Tian, his face sowhat twisted, "I have always mocked you little characters! In the blink of an eye, decades have passed. Are the young people of today cultivating so quickly?"
He sighed to the heavens, as if in despair.
Yet when Qin Tian looked over, he saw the Martial King already brimming with murderous intent as he looked at him: "Since that's the case, let's settle this once and for all! Thousand-Person Slash!"
With a mighty shout, the Martial King's golden saber swung out dazzling rays of light!
The True Qi around him coagulated into thick smoke, creating an imposing presence, instantly enveloping several hundred ters around them in fog!
"What cultivation technique is this?"
Amidst the golden light and smoke, Qin Tian dared not be careless. He channeled his Qi continuously, ready to unleash the Heavenly Frost Fist.
"Slash!"
With a loud roar from the distant Martial King, beams of golden light surged towards Qin Tian from within the smoke!
Qin Tian withdrew his Heavenly Frost Fist and imdiately summoned the Red Sword, blocking the impressive Golden Light Saber Technique with ease using six consecutive strokes!
"Ha, so grand, yet so weak?"
Qin Tian smirked coldly and, as he gazed at the thick smoke, paused for a mont, "Damn, this cunning fox really knows how to play!"
Qin Tian finally realized it. The Martial King had created such an imposing aura, pretending to fight him to the death, only to use the smoke as cover to make a sneaky escape!
Damn it!
When Qin Tian broke through the smoke and found the Martial King had vanished, he could only shake his head with a wry smile.
This cunning old fox indeed.
Qin Tian had no idea which direction the Martial King had fled to, so he chose to head towards Xilin City and pursued quickly.
Perhaps even if Qin Tian reached Xilin City, he still wouldn't find the shadow of that old fox, the Martial King.
The Martial King slipped away.
However, the battle of Xilin City was nearing its end.
Zhao Lanjin and Ye Kun, with their forces, had already taken the walls of Xilin City. The West State Army was in retreat, and capturing Xilin City was only a matter of ti.
"Boss, news from General Xu: over two hundred thousand troops from the West State outside Qingye Town have retreated. General Xu requests to send troops for reinforcents to end the battle of Xilin City sooner."
As Qin Tian was directing the three armies to continue advancing, Xiao Zhuang brought in a scout from Xu Kuan to report.
Qin Tian said, "Tell him to send thirty thousand elite troops, and bring five thousand Flying Beast Soldiers. We must completely annihilate the enemies in Xilin City who refuse to surrender!"
Under Qin Tian's command, the army stread into Xilin City.
Though Xilin City was large, in less than half a day, Ye Kun and others had cornered the Martial King's remaining forces, numbering just over twenty thousand, with no place to escape.
When the thirty thousand troops sent by Xu Kuan arrived, they exterminated the Martial King's key forces at a minimal cost!
The battle of Xilin City lasted a day, where the Martial King's two hundred sixty thousand strong army saw eighty thousand surrender and the remaining one hundred eighty thousand annihilated!
It was a brutal massacre.
But as they were the Martial King's elite forces, who refused to surrender, Qin Tian had no choice but to surround Xilin City, eliminating them one by one!
From this battle, the Martial King's elite forces lost one hundred fifty thousand n, severely damaging their strength by over sixty percent. The stalemated situation in the West State battlefield shifted directly to Qin Tian's dominant position.
"The old Martial King actually ran away."
"Yes, if the boss had taken him down, the West State would have been left with nothing but scattered troops, and mopping up the rest would be as easy as sweeping fallen leaves."
"Haha, this ti we achieved a great victory, who would have thought it went so smoothly."
At the victory banquet in Xilin City at night, Qin Tian toasted the ritorious generals one by one, and everyone was in high spirits, exceptionally excited.
"Boss, this ti we've done greatly, the Supervisor must write a report to the Ice Emperor."
"Yes, yes, I always feel that Supervisor was sent by the Ice Emperor to monitor us, now we've made such a great rit, let's see how she reports to the Ice Emperor."
During the banquet, Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang suggested one after another.
Qin Tian nodded silently, "Hmm, I understand. Such a great rit, I definitely won't miss the opportunity to claim credit."
Having said that, he raised his glass, toasting everyone with a drink and said aloud, "Yes, we've achieved great rit, but we cannot relax just yet. We must strike while the iron is hot and eliminate the Martial King before he can recover! Cheers!"
Qin Tian knew very well this was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity.
The alliance of the Martial King's Demon Clan had internal conflicts, unable to tend to the West State.
Now that Qin Tian had captured Xilin City, the situation was very favorable, so he had to seize the opportunity to completely resolve the West State issue.
After two days of war in Xilin City, as Qin Tian prepared to regroup his troops for advancing on the West Capital, Xiao Zhuang brought explosive news to Qin Tian—
"Boss, on the Demon Clan's side...the Demon Emperor has been killed...the Demon Crown Prince is wandering, pursued by Yin Yue Demon Venerate...the Demon Clan, is in chaos!"
Upon hearing this news, Qin Tian was montarily stunned, feeling inexplicably upset.
Not that he felt upset about the change in the Demon Clan.
He rely thought, "If Fei'er knew about this, I wonder how heartbroken she'd be..."
Thinking of Liu Fei'er's sorrowful expression, Qin Tian felt incredibly pained.
He pursed his lips and said to Xiao Zhuang, "Old Three, imdiately call all senior military commanders for a eting to discuss marching on the West Capital. Ti is of the essence, the sooner, the better!"
Since the situation on the Demon Clan's side had escalated, to prevent Yin Yue Demon Venerate and the Martial King from joining forces again, Qin Tian had to capture West Capital City before Yin Yue Demon Venerate could react!
