Chapter 977 You really deserve to die
The defenders in the deep city also noticed Xia Fan's arrival at this time. Although the generals stationed here did not open the city gate and sent the defenders to support him, they sent out the cultivators who came to assist in the war.
"Senior Brother, long time no see." The Thirteenth Prince, Shi Yong and others came over one after another, greeted Xia Fan and rushed straight into the battle group.
Xia Fan noticed that he had not seen each other for many days. Not only did the Thirteenth Prince and others become more fierce, but their strength has also been greatly improved. They have already possessed the strength of the third level of the Divine Realm.
It is obvious that they are in the army and helping defend the city to fight, they are really tempered.
In addition to being brave and fearless, the biggest advantage of the soul body is that it is more resilient. Because it is not a flesh and blood body, even if it has been fought for a long time, it will not feel tired. In this way, as long as it does not die, it can continue to fight.
Although the soldiers and generals of the Shenmu Kingdom are brave, they cannot fight endlessly. After a long period of fierce fighting, they will gradually become exhausted and their combat power will decline.
Moreover, there will inevitably be casualties in the fierce fighting between the two sides. Even if the soul bodies are cut with three or two swords, they can still continue fighting without caring. However, the soldiers and generals of the Shenmu Kingdom are not good. Even if they are not fatal, their combat power will be damaged. The more deadly companions are killed and injured, the morale will naturally be affected.
Although Tu Yuanli tried his best to control the army so that everyone could hold on and fight the soul body of Xia Fan to the end.
However, when the army reached more than 30%, the morale of the Shenmu Kingdom was already in turmoil. Especially when the Flame White Ape King and others began to roar into the Shenmu Kingdom and started killing, the already shaky military formation collapsed.
As the saying goes: The defeat is like a mountain. Tu Yuanli's army is like this now. The remaining 170,000 people ran around like frightened ducks. The scene was definitely quite spectacular.
In this process, trampling on each other and killing each other will inevitably cause more casualties.
But these are no longer something Tu Yuanli can control. He was protected by his personal guards and fled to the heart of the Kingdom of God.
"Chase." Xia Fan gave a casual order, and then said: "Catch up the prisoners, and those who are willing to surrender will be reorganized on the spot. We will continue to attack later. Those who are unwilling to surrender will be sent to Baishi City as hard labor."
With the 100,000 troops stationed in Shenzhen, Xia Fan no longer had to kill the captives to avoid trouble. Even if he could not recruit soldiers and horses under his command, he could still go to Baishi City to build a city.
After chasing the enemy for a while, the Thirteenth Prince, Shi Yong, Jiandan, Fairy Yun Xi, Qinglian Dao Nu and others returned to Xia Fan to chat with him.
The Thirteenth Prince asked where Xia Fan and the other two went some time ago. Needless to say, the Qinglian Taoist Girl told her experience of going to the Demon Realm. Everyone was amazed, especially the Thirteenth Prince was very yearning for it.
"Senior Brother, if you have another chance next time, I will take me there too." said the Thirteenth Prince.
"Okay." Xia Fan nodded and smiled, "As long as your strength can reach the sixth level of the Divine Realm, I will take you with me when I go there, otherwise I'd better forget it, so as not to be unable to deal with it when you go there."
"No matter how powerful the Demon Realm is, it shouldn't be full of powerful people from the Divine Realm and the Grand Master Realm." said the Thirteenth Prince.
"Of course there are no strong people in the Divine Realm and Grandmaster Realm everywhere, but don't forget that you always follow the elder brother when you go, and how can the demon clan who can be the enemy of the elder brother be poor?" Fairy Yun Xi said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, this time we went to the Demon Realm and met many powerful people in the Grandmaster Realm. As a result, we almost didn't help with anything, and we were so depressed." The Qinglian Taoist girl sighed, looking depressed.
After hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince and others also showed a bit of solemn expression on their faces.
Their strength is now, at least they are already ahead of most of their peers, but they are still far behind Xia Fan. Naturally, they can't help Xia Fan when he fights.
The reason is very simple. Now that you can be qualified to be Xia Fan’s opponent, at least you must be a strong man in the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm. The Thirteenth Prince and others only have the strength of the Divine Realm, and even if you want to help, you will not be able to help. If you have to help, you will be more and more helpful.
After realizing this, the Thirteenth Prince and others all felt that their own strength was still insufficient, and they thought they should work harder to practice.
"Where is the little Dan King? Why didn't you see him?" Xia Fan asked.
"He stayed in Yunhuan Lake to refine alchemy." The Thirteenth Prince replied.
Xia Fan nodded and did not ask any more questions. Everyone has their own practice, and it does not necessarily have to go through battle to improve. Just like the little Dan King, who loves alchemy and is proficient in alchemy. If he continues on this road, he may not be unable to step into the master realm step by step.
Xia Fan chatted with everyone for a while, then answered some questions they encountered during their cultivation, and then led his troops to attack again.
Unlike when he came, there were only thousands of soldiers and horses around him. When he set off, his troops had increased sharply to 100,000, of which 30,000 were elite troops drawn from the garrison in the city, and the rest were prisoners of the surrendered kingdom of Shenmu.
The total number of these surrendered soldiers was less than 60,000, but Xia Fan was not worried that they would dare to rebel, because even if there were no 30,000 elite soldiers accompanying them, they could be suppressed at any time based on their soul bodies alone.
This time, Xia Fan did not continue to march towards the hinterland of the Shenmu Kingdom, but turned around and attacked the Shenmu Kingdom soldiers who were ordered by Tu Yuanli to attack and restrain the other two small cities.
Both of these armies have only about 100,000 people, and they will definitely be crushed against the army led by Xia Fan.
After the two battles, in addition to the dead soldiers and the prisoners who refused to surrender, Xia Fan's army increased by another 250,000.
Among them, 150,000 were originally soldiers under Yu Kongyue's command. They were previously ordered to garrison in the small city to put pressure on Tu Yuanli and Jian Fang. The other 100,000 were surrendered soldiers from the Shenmu Kingdom.
As a result, Xia Fan's army suddenly increased to 350,000, and this was really just the beginning for him.
……………………
"Haha..." Amid the crazy laughter, the breath rolled out, covering the palace of the Divine Eye Kingdom, and the illusion of a giant eye was faintly revealed.
It was so lifelike, hanging in the air, as if looking down at everyone below, so that all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were so scared that they knelt on the ground, praying repeatedly when they were trembling.
When Shen Zhong walked out of the secluded quiet room, he had a smile on his face and was full of energy. The pressure he emitted on his body was as vast as the sea, which shows that he had already entered the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm.
"With my current strength, what's the fear of facing Xia Fan?" Shen Zhong became happier the more he thought about it, and he couldn't help laughing again.
"Report to the king, General Tu Yuanli is back and is waiting outside the palace gate, saying that he wants to apologize to the king." Lan Haolin was shocked and envious when he saw Shen Zhong's aura suddenly became so powerful, but he was shocked and envious, but he did not show it at all, but reported something that made Shen Zhong not very happy.
"He's back?! He's not in Youfeng Pass, why are he running back?!" Shen Zhong was shocked and suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't believe it, and hurriedly said, "Tell him to come in."
"See the king. The general and Xia Fan fought in the field outside the city, but were defeated by him, resulting in most of the losses of the troops. Please punish him!" Tu Yuanli was quite a bachelor. After seeing Shen Zhong, he knelt on the ground and told him about the defeat without any concealment.
If it were any other time, Shen Zhong might think that although he was defeated, he could not blame him for being unfavorable in command of the army. Maybe he would find a reason to punish him for being punished or making meritorious.
But today is different. Originally, Shen Zhong was in a happy mood today, but he heard such bad news, which made his good mood suddenly become extremely bad.
In addition, Lan Haolin was still standing next to him. Although he didn't say anything, lowered his head as if he didn't hear Tu Yuanli's words at all, Shen Zhong knew that he had heard it, which made him even more embarrassed.
Why did Shen Zhong take in Lan Haolin? Of course, it was not because of the friendship between fellow disciples, nor because he really liked Lan Haolin's talents, but because he had two purposes.
First, when he wanted to capture the territory of Lan Yu Kingdom in the future, Lan Haolin was there, and his actions took the title of great power, which was considered a famous master.
Second, Shen Zhong also wanted Lan Haolin to see that he was better than him. You lost so badly at Xia Fan's hands, but now I will defeat him.
He had a good idea, but Shen Zhong didn't expect that things would be so inch. He had just broken through to the Grandmaster realm and was not happy yet. As a result, Tu Yuanli sent news of his defeat. This was just a naked slap of him in the face.
"You are right, you deserve to die!" Shen Zhong was furious and suddenly had a murderous intention.
When the word "death" was turned out, Shen Zhong's breath suddenly increased. Suddenly, the third eye at his forehead suddenly opened a thin crack, and a dazzling white light flew out, directly shining on Tu Yuanli, who was raising his head with a shocked face.
"Ah!" Tu Yuanli only had time to scream, and then melted on the spot under the illumination of this white light like a candle exposed to the sun. The scene was terrifying.
"He's really ruthless. I'm scaring me." Lan Haolin felt disgusted and frightened when he saw this, and he was even more disgusted. After all, he had been the king of the country, and he also understood this method of controlling it. He knew that Shen Zhong was killing a chicken to warn the monkey, so he was naturally unhappy.
However, he still said respectfully: "Don't calm down. Although General Tu is defeated, he brought back some soldiers and generals. He can mobilize the army again and send famous generals from the country to kill Xia Fan."
