Terran Guardian - Chapter 3526

Chapter 3504 Three Punches to Kill the Enemy

Trapped in a celestial city,

the Great Xia Celestial Court was at its wit’s end.

Although Xia Jing was unwilling to perish, the strength of the Great Qin forces was simply too overwhelming.

In just three years,

the celestial city’s formation finally crumbled.

“Slaughter the city, leave no one alive!”

Gu Xuanji’s face was icy, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light that was almost tangible.

Three years of siege

had also resulted in significant losses for the Great Qin side.

Now, without the protection of the city’s defensive formation, the Great Xia Celestial City had lost its last reliance.

At this point,

Gu Xuanji naturally had no reason to hold back.

The instant he gave the order, he himself attacked, stepping into the Great Xia Celestial City and charging towards Xia Jing. Upon

seeing this, the latter roared angrily, “Well done! Let me see if your strength, that of the Great Qin Heavenly Emperor, is truly as powerful as the rumors suggest!” As soon as he finished

speaking,

Xia Jing launched his attack.

As the Great Xia Heavenly Emperor, his strength was beyond doubt; his cultivation had already reached the half-step Celestial Emperor realm for many years.

Now, with a death wish, he had no more scruples in his attacks.

As a result,

Xia Jing’s strength increased by another three points.

“A firefly’s light dares to contend with the moon’s brilliance!”

Gu Xuanji’s expression was arrogant; with a single punch from his right hand, the void collapsed and caved in, unleashing a domineering, abyss-like power that made Xia Jing’s breath catch in his throat.

The two forces collided, and Xia Jing immediately felt a powerful force rush towards him, his blood surging violently.

“Your strength—”

Xia Jing’s face was filled with horror; his eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Gu Xuanji.

Before this,

Xia Jing had already overestimated Gu Xuanji’s strength as much as possible, but when the battle actually began, he realized he had been somewhat naive.

This man’s strength was far greater than he had imagined.

Before him, Xia Jing felt as if he were facing a towering mountain, a deep sense of powerlessness welling up within him.

Gu Xuanji didn’t reply, his attacks as fierce as a storm, giving Xia Jing no chance to breathe.

Having cultivated both the cultivation and physical body sections of the Immortal Emperor’s Boundless Scripture to the pinnacle of Ancient Immortal level, Gu Xuanji’s strength was naturally far beyond that of an ordinary half-step Immortal Emperor.

However, he had never revealed his true power

until now. Only now,

when attacking Xia Jing, did Gu Xuanji go all out.

The first punch!

Xia Jing’s blood surged.

The second punch!

Xia Jing’s body shattered, and he coughed up blood.

The third punch—

Xia Jing’s body exploded violently, instantly perishing on the spot.

This scene caused everyone else’s pupils to shrink sharply.

Even the Acquired Demon God was shaken to his core upon witnessing this.

Three punches to kill a half-step Immortal Emperor!

Gu Xuanji’s strength terrified them.

“Xia Jing is dead, kill!”

Gu Xuanji’s majestic voice echoed throughout the immortal city, his footsteps treading the void. The morale of the Great Qin forces soared, while the Great Xia Immortal Court crumbled like a house of cards.

Some tried to beg for mercy, but the Great Qin forces gave them no chance.

After all, Gu Xuanji had given the order beforehand, and they naturally couldn’t disobey.

Moreover,

years of siege

had fueled a burning anger in many hearts.

Now that the city had fallen, and with Gu Xuanji’s order, they were destined to show no mercy.

…

The flames of war engulfed the entire Great Xia Immortal City, lasting for several days before finally subsiding.

By then,

the entire Great Xia Immortal Court had been slaughtered, corpses littering the streets.

On the imperial throne in the palace,

Gu Xuanji sat upright, below him were numerous acquired demon gods of the Xingdao Alliance, as well as the high-ranking officials of the Great Qin Immortal Court.

“Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, all cultivators of the Great Xia Immortal Court have been slaughtered!”

“Good, clean up the battlefield, bury all the dead, and also—”

Gu Xuanji nodded slightly, but before he could finish speaking, the commander of the Sky Patrol Guard, Tantai Feng, suddenly changed his expression and stepped forward to interrupt him.

“Your Majesty, the Sky Patrol Guard has sent word that Medicine King Valley and the Great Yu Immortal Court have suddenly launched a large-scale invasion, and more than a dozen immortal cities within the Great Xia territory have fallen. Moreover

, according to reports, many powerful figures from both forces have advanced rapidly and are now heading straight for the Great Xia Immortal City!”

Upon hearing this,

everyone’s expression changed.

Clearly,

no one had expected this outcome.

Looking at Gu Xuanji on the throne, his expression remained calm.

“As expected, now that Great Xia has been destroyed, they can no longer sit idly by!”

He smiled calmly, as if he had anticipated this.

Yang Jin’s face was contorted with rage: “The Great Yu Celestial Court allied with our Great Qin, yet now they’ve launched an invasion! This is blatant betrayal!”

“The Great Yu Celestial Court’s alliance with Great Qin was never sincere; they merely wanted to weaken both Great Qin and Great Xia.

Great Qin will annihilate Great Xia in a mere thousand years. How could the Great Yu Celestial Court stand by and watch Great Qin grow stronger?”

Gu Xuanji sneered, his understanding of the situation crystal clear. What

the Great Yu Celestial Court truly desired was for Great Qin and Great Xia to weaken each other, not for Great Qin to completely crush Great Xia and then swallow it whole.

After all, if it came to that, Great Qin’s strength would be far beyond the Great Yu Celestial Court’s capabilities.

If Gu Xuanji were in the Great Yu Celestial Court’s shoes, he too would act at this moment, refusing to give Great Qin any chance to grow stronger.

“According to the ideas of the Great Yu Celestial Court and the Medicine King Valley, they believe that our Great Qin has just destroyed the Great Xia and is an exhausted army. At this moment, they have sent strong people to drive straight in, intending to carry out a decapitation.

Since they want to fight, then I will naturally accompany them to the end.

It will also let them understand that the strength of Great Qin is absolutely not something they can shake!”

Seeing Gu Xuanji’s confident expression, the slight panic in the hearts of the others has faded a lot.

For the people of Great Qin, Gu Xuanji was their true backbone.

As long as the enemy remained calm, they would not lose their composure.

“Tantai Feng!”

“Your Majesty!”

“Have the Sky Patrol Guards closely monitor the movements of the two major forces. I need to know their every move. Report back every hour without fail!”

“Your Majesty obeys!”

Tantai Feng immediately accepted the order and withdrew.

Then,

Gu Xuanji looked at Yuan Tianrui: “The army shall rest where it is. There is no need to obstruct the two major forces. I will wait for them in Great Xia Immortal City!”

“Your Majesty obeys!”

Yuan Tianrui naturally accepted the order.

Finally, Gu Xuanji’s gaze fell upon the assembled demon gods of the Xingdao Alliance, and he smiled calmly: “This time, with the two major forces invading, I fear we will need your help.

One hundred thousand mid-grade immortal stones from each of you will be your reward for this action. Is that acceptable?”

“Since the Emperor Qin has spoken, we have no objection!”

Lu Wu smiled. If

this battle were to truly erupt, the Great Qin Immortal Court might not necessarily lose.

The participation of the Xingdao Alliance in this battle should not be a problem.

Of course,

what truly gave Lu Wu confidence was Gu Xuanji’s composure.

Coupled with the fact that Gu Xuanji had killed the Great Xia Emperor Xia Jing with three punches earlier, Lu Wu understood that this man was unfathomable.

Although the two major forces were not bad, the Great Qin Immortal Court was no ordinary force either.

At this time,

the Xingdao Alliance naturally had no reason to refuse.

…

As Gu Xuanji’s order was issued, the immortal cities along the way did not provide any obstruction, allowing the powerful figures from both sides to advance unimpeded.

“No obstruction whatsoever, it seems that Great Qin is prepared to fight us!”

On the immortal warship, the Great Yu Heavenly Emperor Su Muxuan looked at the news that had been sent, a cold smile appearing on his majestic face, seemingly with a hint of mockery and anger.

Beside him was a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in black robes and wearing a phoenix-patterned jade hairpin. Her beauty was unparalleled, yet her brows contained a coldness that made people afraid to approach.

This person was the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley—Yan Shang.

“The Great Qin Celestial Court crushed the Great Xia Celestial Court in just a thousand years, demonstrating its formidable strength. I’ve heard that Great Qin has a mysterious force aiding it, making it truly extraordinary.

However, Great Xia is no pushover either; Great Qin will pay a heavy price to destroy Great Xia.

This time, with our two forces joining forces, no matter how deep Great Qin’s foundation, they are no match!”

As she spoke, Yan Shangqing’s face revealed a captivating smile.

“Once Great Qin is destroyed, this Qingyin Domain will be under the control of our two major forces. At that point, our strength will naturally advance even further!”

“Valley Master Yan is right!”

Su Muxuan also smiled.

The reason he openly agreed to the Great Qin Celestial Court’s offer to deal with Medicine King Valley was precisely to ensure that Great Qin and Great Xia would both suffer heavy losses.

Compared to Medicine King Valley and Great Xia, Su Muxuan was most wary of Great Qin.

This force had grown to a point that alarmed the Great Yu Celestial Court in just a million years.

It was hard to imagine

what kind of astonishing power they would become if allowed to continue growing.

If the Great Yu Celestial Court were to truly join forces with the Great Qin to destroy the Great Xia and the Medicine King Valley, then the next to be destroyed would undoubtedly be the Great Yu Celestial Court itself.

Su Muxuan naturally wouldn’t engage in such a risky endeavor.

In comparison,

the Medicine King Valley posed a far lower threat than the Great Qin Celestial Court.

This was why Su Muxuan was willing to join forces with Yan Shang.

In his view,

with the combined strength of the Great Yu Celestial Court and the Medicine King Valley, destroying the Great Qin was not a problem.

After destroying the Great Qin Celestial Court, only two major forces would remain in the entire Qingyin Domain.

At that time,

if given the opportunity, Su Muxuan would naturally destroy the Medicine King Valley and seize control of the Qingyin Domain.

But if not, he would divide and rule with the Medicine King Valley.

Either outcome would be beneficial to the Great Yu Celestial Court.

Su Muxuan believed that with the strength of the Great Yu Celestial Court, the Medicine King Valley posed absolutely no threat to him.

…

A month later,

the celestial ship arrived, breaking through the sky.

Before the Great Xia Immortal City, the army stood solemnly. Gu Xuanji stood atop the city wall, hands clasped behind his back, gazing calmly into the void.

Only when he saw the celestial vessel appear did a glint of light flash in his eyes.

“They’ve finally arrived!”

At the same time,

the celestial vessel stopped in mid-air, and the powerful figures from the two major forces, led by Su Muxuan and Yan Chang, stepped out and appeared directly before the Great Qin Immortal Court’s army.

In an instant,

the air became much heavier.

Su Muxuan’s gaze pierced through the army, landing directly on the figure atop the city wall.

“Gu Xuanji!” (End of Chapter)
