Chapter 310: The War of Words

Early the next morning, all the combat troops had been assembled, except for the people from the Gama Empire. They were a little slow in their movements, or to be more precise, they were mentally unbalanced.

After a night of recuperation, Yan Luotian's internal injuries have almost healed, but he still has many concerns about the secret Dou Zong.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the three seniors for today's battle!" Yan Luotian said in a harmonious voice to the three Mulan elders beside him.

The three elders of Mulan nodded at the same time. Anyway, there were only three of them coming from the Mulan Empire this time. If something unfavorable really happened, the worst that could happen was that they would just run away.

With a wave of Yan Luotian's hand, the mighty army began to leave the city and head towards the second line of defense located more than 200 miles away.

The bad news came before the army had even reached halfway.

"Report! Report to the master, the enemy has broken through the second line of defense and is coming towards us!"

Yan Luotian almost cried out in surprise; the second line of defense was breached so quickly.

"Where is Elder Wang Qi? He is a four-star Dou Huang, and he has a group of heavily armored bull cavalry under his command. How could he be so quick..."

The soldier who reported the news swallowed a few times before hesitatingly answering, "Elder Wang...he has been killed in the battle. As for the heavily armored bull cavalry, they were all knocked down by a poisonous fog before the battle even started!"

Upon hearing this bad news, Yan Luotian almost vomited blood.

The Great Elder of the Jinyan Sect had a worried look in his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Sect Master, should we continue to move forward or return to the city first?"

Yan Luotian pointed the long sword in his hand to the sky and said in a cold voice: "You are running back before the fight. What's going on? Everyone follow me and take back the second line of defense!"

The Grand Elder of the Jinyan Sect knew that he could not change the Sect Master's determination, so he could only try his best to cooperate, and then he started the speech he was best at.

After the passionate speech of the Grand Elder of the Golden Goose Sect, all the soldiers of the Luoyan Empire became excited and shouted that they wanted to fight to the death with the Izumo Empire. Only a few sober ones realized that things were not going well and had already begun to secretly plan to escape.

However, before the Luoyan Empire army could take the next move, a group of figures appeared in front of them.

"Hahaha! Yan Luotian, you ran away yesterday, leaving behind only a bunch of small soldiers from the Luoyan Empire. You won't be so lucky today!"

From a long distance away, Yan Luotian heard the unpleasant shouting from Xieshan.

Yan Luotian roared angrily: "Old man, don't be so arrogant. If you didn't have a sixth-level high-level magic beast, how could you be a match for this sect master with your own strength!"

Xieshan laughed a few times, then threw out a human head from the cloth bag next to him.

Although they were still a thousand meters apart, almost everyone present was a cultivator and had good eyesight.

It wasn't long before someone recognized the identity of the head.

"Oh my God! Isn't that Elder Wang Qi?"

"Even if the second line of defense is breached, Elder Wang Qi is a Douhuang strongman. How could he fall so easily?"

"What a joke! I just married my daughter to this old man's good-for-nothing grandson and he died. Isn't this just a trap for me?"

Yan Luotian clenched his fists, wishing he could throw the old guy from Xieshan into the pot and fry him. Just this one head almost disrupted the morale of the entire army.

In order to boost morale, Yan Luotian shouted loudly: "Xieshan, you old thing dare to fight me to the death? You can only hide behind the monster, what kind of ability is that!"

Xieshan is certainly not a fool. He has a four-winged demon scorpion, which is an advantage. How could he do something stupid just because of a provocation?

Before the two sides started fighting, the commander's verbal attacks were endless. After a long time, the tense mood of the soldiers on both sides relaxed a little.

Xiao Zhen had already changed into the armor of an ordinary soldier of the Luoyan Empire and mixed in with countless soldiers. He thought that a big battle would break out soon, but he didn't expect this!

It was very magical that Yan Luotian and Xieshan kept cursing at each other for several hours. Some soldiers' stomachs began to growl. If the commanders of both sides were not so energetic, they would have started cooking on the spot.

Xieshan let out a long breath and said disdainfully: "Boy, do you want to fight or not? If not, just surrender quickly and don't waste your grandfather's time!"

Yan Luotian spat on the ground, completely losing his previous elegant image, and said angrily: "Old man, I still say the same thing, do you dare to fight me in a duel?"

"That's enough of you!"

There was a sudden change in the sky. A cloud of green poisonous fog covered half of the sky. Then, an old man's figure mysteriously emerged in the air. He stomped the air hard with the crutch in his hand, and a tremendous fighting spirit burst out of his body.

Hai Bodong exclaimed: "This is... Xie Bi Yan, the old man is not dead yet, and he has even broken through to Dou Zong!"

The three elders of Mulan also had solemn expressions. Xie Bi Yan and the others also knew him, but they did not expect that he had already become a Dou Zong.

Yan Luotian was in a bad mood. Although he didn't know Xie Bi Yan, he had heard of the latter's reputation.

More importantly, the Dou Zong who appeared yesterday was not this old man at all, which means that there are very likely two Dou Zong powerhouses on the Izumo Empire side.

"Master Yan, it seems that there will be some trouble this time!" The eldest of the three elders of Mulan said solemnly.

Yan Luotian's eyelids were twitching. He was really afraid that the old man would say something like "add money" again.

Fortunately, the three elders of Mulan only focused their attention on Xie Bi Yan and had not thought about the reward yet.

The fighting spirit in Hai Bodong's body began to slowly condense, and he quietly reminded the people around him.

"A Dou Zong strongman cannot be challenged by a Dou Huang. Even if several Dou Huangs attack together, they may not be able to achieve much effect, unless they have practiced special secret methods like the three elders of Mulan."

Xiao Lin nodded. He had so many grandchildren at home and the family happiness had just begun. He didn't want to die here.

The elder next to Yun Yun also reminded: "Master, if something special happens later, I will do my best to cover your retreat. Please be sure to benefit your children and grandchildren at home!"

Yun Yun also found it a little unbelievable. With so many Dou Huangs on their side, how could they not be able to defeat a Dou Zong?

Xiao Zhen, who was mixed in the crowd, seemed to have some impression of this Xie Bi Yan, but Medusa hidden in his sleeve did remind him:

"Hey! You'd better be careful with this old guy, or you will suffer a great loss!"

Xiao Zhen asked doubtfully: "What's the matter? Do you know him?"

"Well, we fought each other in the past. A hundred years ago, he was already a famous strong man in the Izumo Empire. At that time, he was just a Douhuang strong man. I didn't expect that after so many years, he not only survived, but also was promoted to Douzong." Medusa explained slowly.

Xiao Zhen said with a smile: "Then Your Majesty, if you fight him now, who will have a better chance of winning?"

Medusa said proudly: "Now I have evolved into a seven-colored swallowing python, which is a legendary beast. If we have the same cultivation base, how could this old guy be my opponent!"

Xiao Zhen smiled calmly. He still had confidence in Her Majesty the Queen.

Xie Bi Yan had been listening to the nagging for most of the day, so there was no time to waste. He directly seized the command of Xie Shan and ordered the army to charge.

The three Mulan elders were not ones to take the money and do nothing. The three of them confronted Scorpion Bi Yan at the same time, cooperated with each other, and performed the secret technique of combined attack, and temporarily fought on equal terms.

Yan Luotian looked at Hai Bodong and others not far away and shouted loudly: "Senior Hai, please lend me a hand. After I kill Xie Shan, I can give you three more Xuan-level high-level fighting skills!"

When Hai Bodong heard that there were benefits, he smiled a little more. Anyway, he had the strength, so he was not afraid that Yan Luotian would go back on his word!
