“What’s going on? Did they get reinforcements?”

“Who cares? Charge and kill them!”

As thousands of soldiers were being thrown into the air, more soldiers noticed the disturbance taking place at the southern end of the battlefield. An Imperial Army commander swung his sword and led his men toward the source of the chaos.

But before he could get very far, clang! The Imperial Army commander felt his hand getting lighter. While he was still trying to understand what was going on, he saw the sword that had been with him for ten-some years break free of his grip and soar into the sky.

The commander instinctively reached out to grab it, but he unexpectedly failed. And the truly shocking development took place after that…

Clangclangclang!

The vibrating of swords and sabers rose and fell as tens of thousands of swords and sabers rose into the air as if they had a life of their own. Floating several dozen feet above the ground, they formed a vast and bizarre sea of weapons.

“What… what evil art is this?”

The Imperial Army soldier stared in pale-faced shock at those gleaming weapons in the air.

He was a top-class expert, but when he felt those floating swords link together, he felt like an insignificant being standing in front of an enormous sun.

But the one he most feared was still that figure standing to the southeast, the one controlling all these swords. Although he could not see this man, he could sense that enormous sea of energy that was many times greater than his own.

To compare the two would be like comparing a firefly to the moon.

He couldn’t muster up the slightest desire to fight this man.

“Who is this man? How could the King of Foreign Lands have found such a frightening expert? Imperial Great General… no… not even Great Generals could compare.”

The Imperial Army commander and his soldiers all trembled in fear.

“The War God! Great Tang War God Su Zhengchen!”

A shout came from another direction. Many scions of great clans joined the Imperial Army, and while Su Zhengchen had not emerged for many decades and many people did not know what he looked like, those well-read noble sons had still been able to instantly recognize him.

He looked exactly like the legends said and had attained such a high mastery of the sword. It could be no one except Su Zhengchen!

There had been a rumor going around the capital for some time that Su Zhengchen was still alive. None of them had believed it at first, but what doubts did they have now?

Whoosh!

All those soldiers stared at that divine figure standing at the gate, and then they solemnly dismounted and kneeled.

Almost all of them had heard the legends of Su Zhengchen while growing up. In those legends, this was the War God of Taizong’s era, a meritorious subject and the hero of the Central Plains. Countless people in the military idolized this man, regarding him as a goal and model to learn from.

These people could attack Wang Chong’s men on the First Prince’s order, but none of them could point their weapon at the War God.

“Paying respects to the War God!”

“Paying respects to the War God!”

On the vast battlefield, row after row of soldiers kneeled reverentially down on the ground, and the area suddenly became much quieter.

But Su Zhengchen had no time for such things. He swept his eyes toward the imposing Chongsheng Gate.

The air there was churning with blood. Li Siye and the others were about to break!

Buzz!

With a single thought, Su Zhengchen sent that vast sea of weapons hurtling toward Chongsheng Gate.

Rumble!

In a terrifying explosion, sharp and dangerous Sword Qi engulfed the Tianfu Divine Lord and Tianshu Divine Lord, as well as those men in black on the ground in their various forms.

“Ah!”

A half–Lu Wu man in black with tenacious vitality failed to react in time and was pierced through the center of his brow by a sword. The sword stabbed right through his skull and out the back of his head. The man’s eyes widened, strange gurgles coming from his open mouth, and then he dropped dead.

Elsewhere, several half–Lu Wus were roaring as they attacked the Wushang Cavalry, Mo Saber Unit soldiers, and great clan experts around them with flames and physical strength. Suddenly, swords flashed, and then these men in black either were cut in half or had their heads separated from their necks.

“Careful!”

One of the men in black sensed the danger coming overhead and cried out in warning to the others. At the same time, he used the Void Movement Technique to disappear into the void and avoid these swords.

Their reactions couldn’t be considered slow, and the Void Movement Technique was also a powerful technique that made one invisible to the naked eye. But in front of Su Zhengchen, they were still nothing but ants, and all resistance was futile.

Swooshswooshswoosh!

Swords and sabers shot down into seemingly vacant air, but a moment later, wretched screams resounded through the air. Those men in black who had disappeared now staggered out of the void and dropped into the dirt, blood-covered blades protruding from their bodies.

The swords and sabers had all struck fatal points, slaying them in a single blow.

Even with their tenacious vitality, they had still been instantly slain.

“Bastard!”

In the air, the Tianfu Divine Lord and Tianshu Divine Lord were doing all they could to fend off the barrage of swords. Upon seeing what was happening, they immediately exploded in rage.

“Old scoundrel, gifts are reciprocated! You dare to kill my people, so I’ll kill all of yours!”

The Tianfu Divine Lord raged, his anger stimulating his daring. Although he didn’t know who this man was, there was no question that he had come to save those Great Tang soldiers. Since that was the case, he had no need to be polite.

“I’ll make you the first sacrifice!”

The Tianshu Divine Lord’s eyes chilled as he locked onto Li Siye.

This giant soldier, by relying on some mysterious armor, had been able to charge in again and again. Even though the attacks continued to batter him, they were only able to wound him. If not for this man, everyone else present would have already been dead.

Buzz!

The Tianshu Divine Lord blinked away, vanishing by using the Starlight Step.

“Careful!”

Just when it seemed like Li Siye was going to die to the Tianshu Divine Lord, the Tianfu Divine Lord called out, his pupils constricting. He thrust out his palm, sending several Southern Dipper Star Awls howling toward Li Siye.

As those Star Awls flew forward, the Tianfu Divine Lord himself used the Starlight Step to join the Tianshu Divine Lord’s assault.

Boom!

But just when their blows were about to strike, a slender figure manifested in front of Li Siye, and peerless Stellar Energy exploded outward. There was a tremendous explosion and a storm of dust. Su Zhengchen’s figure stood tall in the dust, completely unmoved, but the two Divine Lords swayed as they staggered back several steps in the air.

Their eyebrows rose in unison, and they grimly stared at this silver-haired elder.

It was true that because they had been floating in the air while this elder had been on the ground, they had been at a disadvantage, but the fact that this elder had managed to appear so quickly and even block their attacks meant that he was no ordinary man.

Strong!

Very strong!

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s pupils constricted, his expression turning serious. At their level of strength, they could compare to the gods and Buddhas of legend. They were aloof figures that not even the restraints of mortality could threaten.

Each Divine Lord had an essentially limitless lifespan.

This was why they regarded themselves as gods and immortals, and regarded the experts of the mortal world as ants.

But this elder on the ground, this master of the sword, seemed to them like an unprecedented threat.

“Human, just where did you come from? It shouldn’t be possible to reach your level,” the Tianfu Divine Lord suddenly said.

“This war is a god’s war! Don’t interfere! If you submit, I can even make an exception and let you join us!”

Almost everyone at the Tianfu Divine Lord and Tianshu Divine Lord’s level of power had an extremely high view of themselves. In the Tianfu Divine Lord’s long life, he had never liked humans. Even those pious humans who joined their organization could only be slaves. He would never personally invite one.

But for this human, the Tianfu Divine Lord could make an exception.

The Starlight Step was a secret art of their Celestial God Organization, far above the movement techniques of the mortal world. Even the Greater Void Step that Wang Chong had stolen could not compare. But this human, without using any secret art and purely relying on sword arts, had attained a speed similar to the Starlight Step.

In the Tianfu Divine Lord’s long life, this was the first time he had ever run into such a thing.

This alone made this human worth recruiting.

“Gods don’t exist in this old man’s eyes!” Su Zhengchen coldly spat, his words instantly making the Tianshu Divine Lord and Tianfu Divine Lord scowl.
