Chapter 463: Slaughtering the Azure Dragon Army, Annihilating the Blood Guard (9k) (Part 1)
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Chen Mu, alone, charged through the million-strong Azure Dragon Army, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Generals, officers, and soldiers alike scattered before him, their shattered Azure Dragon Armor mingling with blood and dragon scales, creating a scene reminiscent of a dragon slaughter.
At this moment, Chen Mu didn't even need to employ any specific techniques or summon his Primordial Energy. He relied solely on his physical prowess, causing the entire Azure Dragon Army to crumble before him.
If it weren't for the Northern Heaven Gate's Heavenly Array and the Azure Dragon Army's Heaven Confinement Formation, which restrained the heavens and even the void, they would have shattered into pieces under Chen Mu's relentless onslaught.
As Chen Mu rampaged, the entire Azure Dragon Army, though terrified, did not retreat. Even the lowest-ranking soldiers, armed with blades, roared and charged forward.
"Kill!"
Another Bone Marrow Washing Master, a general of the realm, approached with a massive shield, its surface covered in densely packed Azure Dragon reverse scales, sharp as if chiseled by a knife, giving an unshakable impression.
Bang!
Chen Mu casually delivered a side kick, creating an afterimage as he struck. The air distorted visibly, and a deafening blast echoed.
The ordinary martial arts techniques used by these secular warriors, when executed by Chen Mu, became immensely powerful. His kick struck the giant Azure Dragon shield, causing it to vibrate like thunder.
The Bone Marrow Washing Master holding the shield, along with seven or eight Five Viscera Realm Company Commanders, all of whom felt a tremendous force that couldn't be resisted, crushing the spiritual energy of the Azure Dragon shield. The impact, transmitted through the shield, shook the Company Commanders, causing them to explode into pieces of flesh and blood, scattering in all directions.
The Bone Marrow Washing Master spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, unable to hold the shield steady. The Azure Dragon shield swept him sideways, knocking over hundreds of Azure Dragon soldiers and throwing dozens of them into the air!
"Shield soldiers, advance! Spear soldiers, retreat! Don't let him break through!"
A general of the Blood Replacement Realm shouted orders, trying to control the chaotic Azure Dragon formation.
In an instant, dozens of massive shields converged, blocking Chen Mu from all sides. Azure Dragon spears pierced through the shields, aiming for Chen Mu, intending to impale him.
However, Chen Mu didn't dodge or evade the spears. He allowed them to strike his body, but they couldn't even leave a white mark. Only the sparks of clashing metal filled the air.
Swish!
Chen Mu's figure flickered, appearing beside a cluster of shields. He casually struck downward with a fist, distorting the air and creating a deafening boom like thunder. Over a dozen shields, forming a wall, caved in from the center and then collapsed, crushing an unknown number of soldiers beneath them.
Immediately after, Chen Mu struck again with a palm, like a divine dragon's tail, imprinting itself deeply on the shield wall beside him. The wall shattered, and hundreds of soldiers were blasted away.
The million Bone Forging Realm soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army, clad in Azure Dragon Armor, couldn't withstand Chen Mu's simple and casual strikes. Each blow sent hundreds of soldiers flying, with dozens dying on the spot, some even killed by the shockwaves without direct contact with Chen Mu's fists.
After years of not indulging in such displays of power, Chen Mu finally stretched his muscles. However, upon seeing the endless waves of Azure Dragon soldiers charging forward, his eyes revealed a hint of indifference.
"It's getting a little boring."
He wasn't a bloodthirsty person, and this wanton slaughter against ordinary soldiers brought him no joy. While he wouldn't be shaken by killing these million soldiers, these elite and battle-hardened troops were better suited for guarding the border rather than dying meaninglessly at his hands.
Chen Mu struck again, sweeping away hundreds of soldiers and officers, and then turned his gaze toward the distant, towering flag of the Azure Dragon Army, the heart of their formation and the location of their commander.
Chen Mu, during his time in Jade State, had accompanied the army and gained a deep understanding of military formations. He knew that as long as the commander stood, the army would not crumble, even if countless soldiers perished.
But...
The moment the commander fell, the entire formation would disintegrate!
Even if the commander of the Azure Dragon Army, a battle-hardened force, was killed, a deputy might take over. However, for Chen Mu, it didn't matter; he would continue killing until the army was leaderless and utterly defeated!
"..."
In the rear of the Azure Dragon formation, near the commander's flag, Tu Shan, the army's leader, noticed Chen Mu's gaze and immediately focused his eyes, speaking in a deep voice.
A Peerless Warrior who had gathered the strength of his realm into his body had two options to break through an army formation alone: charge through the formation, absorb the Heavenly and Earthly Primordial Energy, and repeatedly assault the formation until it was completely annihilated, or kill the commander and take the flag, causing the formation to collapse without its leader.
Tu Shan, the commander of the Azure Dragon Army and a Blood Transformation Realm expert, witnessed Chen Mu's rampage through the formation, and he had no doubt that Chen Mu could take his head amidst the army. Chen Mu's terrifying abilities and strength made him certain that he would not be a match for Chen Mu if he reached this position.
However, Tu Shan, noticing Chen Mu's gaze and understanding his intentions, showed no fear. He continued to wave the Azure Dragon Army flag, commanding the soldiers with unwavering determination, trying to halt Chen Mu's advance.
However, the Azure Dragon soldiers, surging like a tidal wave, were as fragile as infants before Chen Mu's onslaught. Despite employing various weapons and spiritual armaments, they couldn't stop Chen Mu's progress.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Chen Mu's eyes remained indifferent as he charged through the million-strong army, heading straight for the Azure Dragon Army's commander's flag. Wherever he went, no one could stand against him. Wave after wave of soldiers tried to stop him, but to no avail. A casual strike from Chen Mu sent hundreds of soldiers flying, some exploding into blood and others vomiting blood as they fought for their lives.
"What a terrifying physique..."
"Is he truly just an ordinary martial artist?"
In the distance, several Blood Transformation Realm experts stood far away, dozens or even hundreds of miles apart, positioned outside the Mystic Sky Array. They watched in awe as Chen Mu effortlessly tore through the battle formation, their hearts filled with a sense of overwhelming shock.
As Blood Transformation Realm experts themselves, these observers had honed their physiques to the peak, but compared to Chen Mu, they seemed almost insignificant. They had no doubt that if they faced Chen Mu, they too would be easily swept aside. His physique seemed to surpass that of ordinary mortals!
Chen Mu was like a demon lord descended from the heavens, a divine general of the mortal realm!
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chen Mu had already charged through the million-strong Azure Dragon Army. He tore through their formation, eventually reaching the center where the commander's flag stood tall.
Boom!
Chen Mu unleashed another whip kick, sending a group of soldiers flying. He had now reached close to the commander's flag, and with this strike, he swept away all the soldiers guarding the flag, clearing the way in an instant. The commander, Tu Shan, was now exposed.
Chen Mu stepped onto a shattered shield, looking down at the commander from above. His aura merged with the formation, and Tu Shan, the commander in the center, spoke in a calm tone, "I have no intention of slaughter. Retreat, and I will spare your life."
The Outer Sea Region was plagued by demonic disasters year-round, and the Azure Dragon Army, along with the White Tiger Army and the other two, were dispatched annually to the eastern borders of Great Xuan to combat these threats. Chen Mu had heard of these events.
Tu Shan's face was aged, and he wore a set of Azure Dragon Armor, but his eyes held unwavering determination. As he stared at Chen Mu, he showed no signs of backing down, "I, Tu Shan, have received the grace of the nation. If you wish to disrupt the court's stability, then we, the officers and soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army, will protect the peace of the realm, even if it means dying on the battlefield!"
Chen Mu stood with his hands behind his back, having just fought his way through a million soldiers. Yet, his body remained untouched by blood. He looked at Tu Shan and spoke calmly, "The court belongs to the people, not the Ji Clan. The realm is for all, not the sole possession of the Ji family. I respect your dedication to guarding the Outer Sea Region against demonic threats, but do not mislead yourself."
"Nonsense!" Tu Shan exclaimed.
The Azure Dragon Army was one of the court's primary forces for maintaining control over the realm. From the lowest soldier to the highest commander, they were all carefully selected by the royal family, and some even had connections to the Ji Clan. They were an integral part of the empire, and their loyalty was unwavering.
Seeing this, Chen Mu didn't waste any words. He swiftly moved forward, aiming directly for Commander Tu Shan.
But, just then—
In Tu Shan's aged yet determined eyes, a fierce glint flashed. He shouted, "Attack!"
As he shouted, his face turned slightly red, as if he had ignited his blood energy. His aura merged with the entire Azure Dragon Army formation, making it even more concentrated. In an instant, the formation's power gathered beneath the commander's flag!
The ground seemed to shake, and even the earth appeared to sink by a foot. Chen Mu felt the increased pressure from the formation, almost double what he had experienced before!
At that moment, behind Tu Shan's flag, a cluster of crimson shadows suddenly rushed forward, targeting Chen Mu!
"Blood Garment Guards!" exclaimed one of the Blood Transformation Realm experts observing the battle from afar. Their eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of apprehension.
It was common knowledge that the Azure Dragon Army, along with the White Tiger Army, were invincible in the realm. But only these top-tier martial artists, who held significant influence within their respective powers, knew the truth. For experts like them, who had reached the pinnacle of personal martial prowess, battle formations posed little threat as long as they didn't get caught in them. The real danger came from Great Xuan's Blood Garment Guards!
The Blood Garment Guards, while seemingly part of the court, were not. They were directly under the command of the Great Xuan royalty, and only the emperors had the authority to deploy and train them. The methods of their cultivation and the reasons behind their establishment remained mysterious, with the only known fact being that each generation had a limited number of members, rumored to be only a few dozen!
But these few dozen had claimed the lives of countless Blood Transformation Realm experts over the millennia!
"Blood Garment Guards?" Chen Mu had also heard of their reputation. As he saw the crimson figure rushing towards him, he showed no fear. Even under the increased pressure of the formation, he merely clenched his fist.
Boom!
Chen Mu unleashed a punch with unwavering force and immense power. This punch, fueled by his accumulated strength, distorted the air, and the overwhelming might concentrated on a single point, slamming into the crimson figure.
However, this time, the sensation upon contact was peculiar. Unlike the soldiers he had easily swept aside, this strike felt like punching into a cotton ball, yet also like sinking into muddy quicksand, sticky and resistant.
At the same time, from within the crimson shadow, several deep black needles shot out, enveloped in blood-red light. They bypassed Chen Mu's fist and aimed directly at his eyes, throat, and lower body!
"Trivial tricks, a waste of effort," Chen Mu said calmly. He cultivated the Heaven and Earth Principle, mastering the balance of Yin and Yang, and the integration of softness and hardness." No martial art or technique could surpass his understanding. Even if it was unusual, it was just a side path of martial cultivation!
In the next moment, Chen Mu's body trembled slightly. From his bone marrow and blood to his organs and muscles, everything connected, and countless subtle vibrations converged into a powerful force. He then unleashed this energy, creating a loud sound.
Halt!
Six Heavens Pronouncement!
No, to be more precise, this is the power of the Heaven and Earth Physique manifesting the Six Heavens, and to call it the 'Heaven and Earth Pronouncement' is undoubtedly more appropriate!
This incantation was neither an illusion nor a solid attack, but a fusion of both, creating chaos. It even incorporated the Motion and Stillness Path that Chen Mu had recently comprehended at the Listening to the Tide Cliff in the Outer Sea. For a moment, even the suppression from the Azure Dragon Army Array seemed to shatter.
Crack!
The incoming blood needles froze in mid-air for a fleeting moment before violently shaking one by one, and finally shattering into oblivion.
At the same time, the crimson figure that had forcefully entangled Chen Mu with Yin energy, unable to withstand the impact, began to shake violently, emitting a sound like tearing.
Swish!
Chen Mu swung his fist, unleashing a whip kick that combined softness and hardness. This time, the crimson figure couldn't deflect the attack, and Chen Mu ripped it apart, making a sound like tearing cloth.
But just as he did so, the crimson figure, now in four pieces, suddenly exploded into numerous blood shadows, scattering in all directions. It split into forty-nine separate figures from a single entity.
Upon closer inspection,
There were exactly forty-nine figures!
The crimson figure that had attacked Chen Mu was not one person but forty-nine individuals merged into one!
"Is that so? Interesting."
Chen Mu finally showed interest, scanning his surroundings with narrowed eyes.
According to his senses, each blood shadow's aura was not particularly strong, barely reaching the level of a top-tier Grandmaster. However, they had practiced some secret technique that allowed them to perfectly merge their auras, unleashing a strength comparable to a Heaven and Man Master. They could even largely ignore the suppression of the Azure Dragon Army Array!
Chen Mu was familiar with such techniques, having encountered something similar with the Flower Shadow and Flower Moon sisters, who had connected their auras. But here, there were forty-nine people!
No wonder the Blood Garment Guards of Great Xuan were rumored to have killed countless Blood Transformation experts. With such an uncanny technique, an average Blood Transformation expert, even without being trapped in an army array, might be killed with a single mistake.
However,
This technique wasn't particularly impressive to Chen Mu. If not for the Azure Dragon Army Array's effectiveness, which had suppressed him significantly, his counter with the Heaven and Earth Pronouncement would have injured or killed half of the forty-nine attackers!
Chen Mu's gaze swept indifferently over the forty-nine Blood Garment Guards, his expression calm. But the Azure Dragon Army Commander, Tu Shan, couldn't remain composed, his pupils constricting in shock.
"This... How is this possible?!"
The previous deadly attack had been set up at the cost of many Azure Dragon soldiers' lives, and Tu Shan had even burned his own blood essence to enhance the array's suppression, focusing it on a small area to restrict Chen Mu's movements.
