Chapter 353 353 Troops at the Imperial City_1
"Report! The army has broken into Dragon City!"
"Report! The army has started fighting!"
"Report! Elder Ning keeps killing the enemy's True Gods, destroying Xuanhai True God and Xuanzhen True God!"
"Report! The enemy's morale has collapsed and they are fleeing in defeat. Our army is pursuing them!"
...
Through the communication formation method, messages streamed in to Chu Yuan.
Victory reports. They were all victorious reports.
The Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty, although full of strong warriors, initially thought to weaken Dawu through this war and solidify their dominion. Little did they know that the moment Dawu made a move, they would fall into instant defeat.
Their forces were no match for us.
In a head-on confrontation, they were crushed by Dawu.
Their strongest warriors did not anticipate the presence of Ning Xiuchen on Chu Yuan's side, their commanders, one True God after another, were killed.
It took only a few days for the defenses of Dragon City to collapse entirely.
News of the defeat spread throughout the realm, and every kingdom was terrified. The powerful Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty's disastrous defeat showed that they could not contend with us.
At the heart of victory, Lu Qianfu continued to march his forces into the heartland of the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty. Each city along the way was terrified and opened their gates wide, not daring to put up even minimal defense.
No cunning ploys were employed, only direct and overpowering tactics.
What was terrifying was the scale of the domination displayed.
The army was headed directly towards the capital of the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty.
However, even though the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty was in crises, many knew that they had not yet lost. Their strongest emperor had not yet joined the battle, and he had a Divine Artifact in his possession.
Although Dawu had an extremely formidable warrior, defeating an emperor who had a Divine Artifact wasn't such an easy task.
The Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty did not anticipate such a devastating defeat. Half of their elites were gathered for the Battle of Dragon City, but the battle was not where the true harm lay. The real danger was that it had obliterated their morale.
That was the most terrifying part.
Luckily, the Emperor of Xuanzun came out, and holding the Desolate Divine Halberd, he stabilized the hearts of the soldiers.
Inside the capital of Xuanzun, the atmosphere was tense.
"Today, I will personally take action, kill the strong warriors of Dawu. I will lead the fight and follow me. Xuanzun won't be defeated!"
The Emperor Xuanzun was a heroic middle-aged man with a strong sense of domination between his brows.
He held a bronze long halberd in his hand, emanating a wild aura, standing in front of the city walls of the capital of Xuanzun.
As long as he didn't die, the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty would not be destroyed.
"To battle with His Majesty!"
Seeing Emperor Xuanzun going into battle, the morale of the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty's army returned.
"Xuanzun Imperial City!"
In the distant horizon, a gigantic imperial city was visible. Its grandeur surpasses that of the Artifact Refining City. Although it had experienced defeat, its national destiny remained stable.
"The army of Dawu has arrived!"
Emperor Xuanzun looked at the arrival of the distant fleet.
Next to him stood several True Gods, the accumulation over tens of thousands of years in the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty.
He knew perfectly well that the Dawu army was formidable, their soldiers were unmatched. However, he also knew that the most dangerous was that old man with the gloomy face. Killing him would be their chance to counterattack.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The morale of the Dawu army was high. They had attacked the Imperial capital of the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty in just a few months. Their eyes reddened, each wanting to be the first to kill within the imperial city.
The Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty wanted to wipe out Dawu, but they were hammered by Dawu's forces to the foot of their imperial city.
"Store up the imperial city, drain the opponent's morale and strength."
The Imperial City of the Emperor Xuanzun was incredibly resilient. Dawu would have to pay a heavy price to break it.
Moreover, he held the Desolate Divine Halberd. If the opponent dared to push forward their artillery, he could destroy their artillery position directly.
"Emperor Xuanzun!"
Lu Qianfu stepped out from the army, looked at the capital of Xuanzun, and coldly said: "The emperor has decreed that if you, Emperor Xuanzun, willingly open this imperial city and lead your people to admit in allegiance to Dawu, His Majesty will spare your impudent crimes. Go to Dawu and pay homage to the Martial Emperor, or once the city is broken, you will surely perish!"
Hearing the intentions of the Martial Emperor, the ministers of the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty were furious.
As the dominators of the realm for tens of thousands of years, it's always been them who delivered royal decrees to others. Who is qualified enough to deliver a royal decree to them?
But now, they had been attacked to the foot of the imperial city by others.
"If you want to fight, fight. If you think I will surrender, your Martial Emperor is mistaken. Moreover, I have not been defeated."
The Emperor Xuanzun coldly said, "I have not yet stained my Desolate Divine Halberd with blood; let me see how many of you are willing to throw your lives away."
He held the Desolate Divine Halberd, and with it, he could easily kill those like Xuanzhen True God.
"Little guy, is the Desolate Divine Halberd mighty?"
Ning Xiuchen was a giant killer in this battle, he smirked and said, "Your Desolate Divine Halberd was given by me. If I can give it to you, I can also take it back."
"You are..."
Emperor Xuanzun took a look at Ning Xiuchen and exclaimed in shock, "You are the existence within the small secret realm!"
The Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty rose to dominate the realm only after he obtained the Desolate Divine Halberd. Every time, countless blood and qi were needed to open that secret realm. He had long guessed that there would be a terrifying existence there.
"My things are not so easy to take."
Ning Xiuchen did not regard the Xuanzun Emperor highly.
"You guys attack the Imperial City, and He left it to me to handle you. Our emperor is growing impatient, he can't wait to hear about the defeat of a country."
Ning Xiuchen casually said.
"Hmph! Even if your Desolate Divine Halberd is involved, after cultivation for tens of thousands of years, it is mine now. Today, if you want to break the Imperial City, you have to pass me first!"
Emperor Xuanzun swung his Desolate Divine Halberd fiercely, the power of the Divine Artifact emanated, shaking the heavens and earth!
"Attack, destroy the country with one battle!"
With Ning Xiuchen fighting Emperor Xuanzun, Lu Qianfu could also let loose. Immediately, countless battleships pelted the Xuanzun Imperial City with fiery war flames.
The Xuanzun Imperial City was too strong, arrayed with numerous formations, and was also defended by the national veins. It couldn't be treated like any other imperial city.
However, what Lu Qianfu needed was artillery fire coverage, restraining the opponent's counterattack on the city wall.
Indeed, after the artillery storm, the defending army on the city wall of Xuanzun Imperial City struggled to counterattack.
"I will break this gate for you!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
A peculiar ring appeared in Ning Xiuchen's hand.
This ring was called the Soul Devouring Ring, a Divine Artifact that he had refined.
Black pointed teeth suddenly appeared on the Soul Devouring Ring, rotated rapidly, and fiercely slammed directly into the city gate!
Ning Xiuchen had a peak cultivation at the tenth level of Celestial God, and his Soul Devouring Ring was not inferior to the Desolate Divine Spear. When it hit the city gate, it sliced the sturdy gate in half, knocking it down.
The power of the Divine Artifact was incredibly terrifying.
Emperor Xuanzun's face changed dramatically!
He had intended to use the Imperial City to drain the opponent's strength, but the terrifying old man in front of him had broken his city gate in an instant.
No matter how strong his gates were, they couldn't withstand the front of the Divine Artifact.
"Cover with artillery fire to protect, and follow me, the army, into the city!"
The city gate collapsed, Lu Qianfu led his Stone Sculpture Army as the vanguard, first rushed into the city, and then many experts followed closely behind!
