Guan Er's one stroke killed Zhao Da, stunning both sides at once.
The officers and soldiers in Liyang City, led by Commander Zhang Yanze, were all in a state of shock.
Zhao Yanshou, Zhao Yanzhao, and other Jurchen officers and soldiers were rendered speechless.
Even the cultivators from both sides, or even sacred beings, were all shocked to the extreme.
Yesterday, General Zhao Da still fought evenly with King Pishamun, indicating that he was no ordinary man. Today, he was instantly killed by Guan Er, the Second Lord. How could such a thing not cause shock?
For a moment, everyone was silent except for Nezha, the nine-headed bull demon king, Li Jing who was providing support, and the eight immortal officials, Gui Xu and Mo Xu.
Almost everyone was staring intently at Guan Er's proud figure on the red horse, which seemed invincible.
Chen Yun also appeared quite astonished.
He knew that General Zhao Da was not truly dead even though he had been defeated.
This kind of sacred being, as long as their "spiritual realm" is not destroyed, is essentially immortal and indestructible.
However, it will take some time for Zhao Da to recover from the damage to his body today.
It's unlikely that he'll be appearing on the battlefield anytime soon.
Knowing that Zhao Da hasn't died is one thing.
On another note, Chen Yun finally understood what it meant when it was said that there was strength and weakness in the late God Realm.
Previously, he thought that regardless of whether one had reached the realm of becoming a immortal, the realm of the Immortal, or the realm of the Earthly Immortal, people at the same level generally wouldn't have an exaggerated gap in strength.
Only when using daoshen, magical treasures, or secret arts to enhance one's combat strength would it feel like there is a significant difference, but in reality, the gap isn't that great.
For example, Chen Yun had experienced countless battles big and small. Only through using magical treasures, secret arts, or having much higher cultivation realms than his opponents could he instantly defeat them.
If one relied solely on normal strength, it would be very difficult to achieve that.
Therefore, in his "set pattern", he thought that as long as he reached a certain level of cultivation realm, he could escape from the enemy, even if he couldn't defeat them.
So, he was extremely confident in facing anyone of the same cultivation realm.
As long as I don't use magical treasures or secret arts, you have no right to kill me.
After witnessing Guan Er's battle today, Chen Yun suddenly woke up to reality, realizing that having such thoughts was a mistake.
Once the cultivation realm reaches a certain level, such as the Immortal Realm, there can still be tremendous gaps between those of the same level.
Chen Yun had actually started to sense it somewhat when he reached the late stage of the Earthly Realm.
He cultivated the supreme fengshen technique, Pan Guo Zhen Shen Ju, which made his flesh much stronger than that of ordinary people.
He wouldn't say he can challenge opponents of higher levels, but at least, in the same level, there is no one who can match him. This is the manifestation of the gap, just not as striking as in Guan Er's battle with General Zhao Da.
Therefore, he left a "seed" in his heart, realizing that one should never make judgments about opponents based on appearance.
The opponent's realm might be similar to his, but who can guarantee their combat power?
"Guan Er claimed to have no power of the Tianjingshen Realm, which is the late Immortal Realm. General Zhao Da is also a sacred being at this level. Yet, he was utterly defeated without a single fight. It's truly something that's hard to believe."
Suddenly, Chen Yun realized that the position of the Four Heavenly Kings was still higher than that of the Two Righteous Ones, indicating that their strength must be even more formidable.
He couldn't help but glance over at Li Jing, who was "swimming" over there, finally realizing that he wasn't holding back yesterday, but instead, he had unleashed a sea.
Chen Yun then recalled the incident where Li Jing was chased by Nezha and had to be reincarnated. Deep down, he subtly understood something else.
That is to say, the strength that Nezha is currently displaying is likely to be vastly different from what he has not yet revealed.
Nezha had said before that he cannot manifest in his true form in the mortal world.
Therefore, when facing the Twenty-Eight Constellations, he doesn't have a guaranteed win.
Chen Yun secretly thought, if Nezha could manifest his true form, he would likely have a chance against Immortals at the Tianjingshen Realm.
No wonder Nezha, the third son of the legendary Shentujiu (a mythical figure in Chinese folklore, said to have subdued ninety-six demons and dragons with magical powers), has such formidable strength.
Chen Yun couldn't help but feel puzzled. According to the speculation, Nezha's strength is awe-inspiring. So why would he recognize a brother who is only at the late Immortal Realm as his elder brother?
Could it be that the Erlang Shen also has the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels, just like Guan Er?
Chen Yun felt that there was a possibility of that.
After all, although Nezha seems rather casual and carefree, in terms of arrogance, he is no less than Guan Er.
If Erlang Shen's strength wasn't stronger than the other, how could Nezha recognize him as his elder brother?
These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
Chen Yun brought his attention back.
He continued to look towards the front battlefield.
He wanted to see if today, with Guan Er's assistance, they could win the battle.
......
On the battlefield......
Nezha and the Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King, without restraints, and with Li Jing providing "support," were like fish in water, completely dominating the Qiu Xu and Mao Xu Star Officials.
On one side, Nezha, with three heads and eight arms, and nine eyes, flung balls of embroidery, swept broadswords, and hammered jinshang bangles indiscriminately, beating the Qiu Mu Lang and the eight Star Officials into a corner.
On the other side, the Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King had not even shown his true form. He brandished his two belfry-shaped weapons, generating continuous black light that enveloped the Mo Ri Xing Official and the other eight Star Officials in layers, with occasional cries of pain, indicating that he had the upper hand.
Even though Nezha and the Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King were causing the ground to shake and mountains to roar, everyone's attention was on Guan Er and the remaining thirteen Jia Zi Shen.
At this moment, Guan Er held the reins of the horse with one hand and dragged a lance measuring one zhang and eight chi with the other.
Because he had broken through the heavy siege and beheaded General Zhao Da.
So, at this moment, he was surrounded by the remaining thirteen Jia Zi Shen and seemed to be in a hopeless situation.
However, there was not the slightest trace of fear on Guan Er's face. He remained calm and collected, still seated on the horse, without any sign of attempting to break through. It seemed as if he was waiting for the thirteen Jia Zi Shen to make their coordinated attack.
The Jisi Tai Sui, General Kang Zhi, led the attack first, raising the flag in his hand.
That banner was rotating constantly, releasing a large amount of the Yin Qi of the Water Element and the Yin Qi of the Metal Element. Among them, the Yin Qi of the Metal Element kept transforming into the Yin Qi of the Water Element, which then took on the form of an extremely black-colored giant chen (a mythical bird).
Oh!
The great rooster let out a loud crow.
The endless Yin Qi of the Water Element mixed with the Yin Qi of the Metal Element rushed towards Guan Er like a raging sea.
Guan Er's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes sharpened and focused on General Kang Zhi.
At the same time.
Bang!
A massive explosion resounded, shaking the world as if a meteor had struck the ground from above the sky.
Even Chen Yun, who was watching from a distance, felt his heart palpitate amidst the tremor.
What was surprising was that all the Yin Qi of the Water Element had impacted on Guan Er's body.
It was as if he had "become dumbfounded" and completely failed to make any evasive moves.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yun was taken aback for a moment.
This is clearly not in line with common sense.
Because Guan Er's previous action of killing General Zhao Da was so agile, how could he possibly fail to avoid it?
He immediately realized something and hurriedly looked towards General Kang Zhi.
Indeed, the next moment, the "Guan Er figure" that had been hit by the Yin Qi of the Water Element shattered and turned into tiny red lights that fell.
The real Guan Er had already galloped and jumped, thrusting the lance in his hand straight at the heart of General Kang Zhi.
At the point where the heart of General Kang Zhi touched the tip of the lance, a spot of red light immediately appeared.
At first, the red light was only as large as a millet grain, but in the blink of an eye, it expanded into a terrifying beam of light.
After a moment, the red light dispersed and vanished.
At the same time, the General Kang Zhi also vanished without a trace.
Chen Yun was once again deeply shaken in his heart.
At first, he thought that Guan Er must have used some sort of ultimate technique to kill General Zhao Da.
After seeing Guan Er kill General Kang Zhi in one move again, he realized that Guan Er hadn't even taken out his ultimate technique, but had simply used ordinary martial arts skills to execute the normal force.
Horrendous!
Guan Er's combat power is truly terrifying to the extreme!
Then he instantly killed General Zhao Da.
Now he had once again instantly killed General Kang Zhi.
Such terrifying combat power is so daunting that it makes people fear at the mere mention of it!
The soldiers on both sides finally understood the decisiveness of top martial artists, and also gleaned the extent of Guan Er's divine powers.
The Hei Ma, Qijutiannv, and Hu San Taishi, among others, were all stunned.
Zhang Qian, Lin Chen, Niudali, and Mei Junyan, among Chen Yun's disciples, one by one, their faces were filled with admiration.
A true man should be like this!
At this moment, Guan Er, who had just defeated another Jia Zi Shen again, did not rush forward. Instead, he gently stroked his beard and looked at the remaining twelve Jia Zi Shen and said, "You are no match for me. Quickly retreat or I will spare you unharmed. Otherwise, do not blame me for being ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, the twelve Jia Zi Shen, including General Li Su, General Fan Ning, and General Guan Zhong, were drenched in sweat on their foreheads. They felt an endless pressure from Guan Er and truly felt a sense of splitting liver and gall.
Everyone turned to look at the face of General Li Su, who currently held the highest position among the Jia Zi Shen. They wanted to see how he would choose.
General Li Su could only laugh bitterly and put away his steel whip, saying, "Guan Gong is truly valiant. We are no match for him. Today, we willingly admit defeat. Well, I will leave with my brothers."
With that, General Li Su transformed into a wisp of shadow and vanished before their eyes.
The remaining Generals Fan Ning and Guan Zhong, as well as the others, looked at each other in disbelief before helplessly shaking their heads and transforming into wisps of shadow and disappearing.
They were not idiots. Guan Er's two moves had destroyed Generals Zhao Da and Kang Zhi, which clearly showed that his strength far exceeded that of the Jia Zi Shen.
If they continued to fight, it would likely end the same way. They would all be felled by Guan Er with a single lance, like kids.
Since they knew they were no match for Guan Er, why would they continue to fight and risk getting injured?
The Jia Zi Shen were all deities who had been deified. Although their bodies would not truly die even if they were blown apart, it would take some time for their "god essence" to re-coalesce and form a new body.
Even if they were able to reform their bodies, there would still be a "weakness period."
Therefore, these Jia Zi Shen, in order to preserve their strength or for other reasons, temporarily retreated without challenging Guan Er to the end.
Guan Er, after dealing with the Jia Zi Shen, looked towards the ongoing battle between Nezha, Li Jing, and the Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King and roared loudly, "Everyone! Would you like Guan Er to join in the battle?"
Nezha and the Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King, being able to possess such great supernatural abilities, are naturally very proud people.
Seeing Guan Er destroy the enemies in such a short time, they felt a bit "behind the times" and were not willing to let Guan Er help them.
Nezha snorted coldly and said, "I can handle them by myself!"
As soon as he spoke, the weapons or artifacts held by his eight arms either smashed into the enemies with fierce force or were all raised up, ascending to the half-air. It was obvious that he was about to unleash his wrath.
The Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King also arrogantly replied, "Guan Gong, wait for a moment. Let me deal with the Zui Xing!"
Saying that, he roared loudly, showing his true form and turning into a terrifying black cow towering ten thousand zhangs and eight thousand zhangs long, with nine heads.
The Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King was determined. With nine heads open, he bit and caught the Mo Ri Xing Official and the remaining eight Star Officials, then threw them up into the air with a sudden movement.
Then, he opened his nine ox heads and let out bloodthirsty roars.
Whirl!
The Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King spat out an endless stream of black Qi from his nine mouths, rushing towards the sky.
Chen Yun could only watch as the black Qi shot out from the nine mouths of the Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King, which instantly filled the entire sky and enveloped the Mo Ri Xing Official and the remaining eight Star Officials, delivering a merciless attack.
"Ahh!"
"Ahh!"
The Mo Ri Xing Official and the remaining eight Star Officials let out painful screams.
Chen Yun watched helplessly as they were all obliterated by the assault, with their bodies exploding.
The Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King indeed showed a level of power that was unparalleled!
Chen Yun couldn't help but nod slightly. Indeed, as discussed on this side, the tactics used yesterday were incorrect.
If the Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King had been facing the Mo Ri Xing Official all along, he would not have been beaten so severely; instead, he could have quickly won the victory.
Of course, the Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King's sudden outbreak would have consumed a lot of energy.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been using this ultimate technique when he first faced the Mo Ri Xing Official yesterday.
Guan Er defeated fourteen Jia Zi Shen.
The Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King, with its terrifying might, crushed the nine stars of the Mo Ri Xing Official.
Now, only Nezha, whose strength might be the strongest among those present, has not yet achieved any achievements.
Chen Yun, Hei Ma, Qi Shou Tiannv, and others all turned their attention to Nezha.
The third prince might have seen that Guan Er and the Nine-Headed Buffalo Demon King had already achieved accomplishments, while he had yet to deal with the nine star officials of the Kuai Xu, so his originally green and ferocious face became even more hideous.
Nezha turned black with anger and an expression of no action, swinging the fire cover he had not yet invoked in his hand.
In the next moment, the fire cover transformed into a vast net from the sky, which covered Kuai Wu Lang and the eight other star officials of Kuai Xu in an instant.
Nezha flew forward and slapped his hand to activate the fire cover. Within the cover, flames roared up, fierce fires blazed, and nine red lotus fires rose into the air, transforming into nine dragons in the shape of Naga. They flew up and down, spitting fiery breath and releasing copious amounts of red lotus hells to burn their enemies. They burned Kuai Wu Lang and the eight star officials to death.
In an instant, these deities turned to ashes.
Kuai Wu Lang and the eight star officials never even had a chance to utter a scream before being consumed by the fire cover, turning into dust and smoke.
No one had expected that Nezha's fire cover artifact was so powerful. Once invoked and activated, it instantly extinguished the nine star officials of Kuai Xu!
Chen Yun was truly a bit stunned. Yesterday, Kuai Xu, Bao Xu, and Zhao Da were nine sacred beings who could fight back and forth with Nezha, Li Jing, and the nine-headed Buffalo Demon King. But today, with Guan Er's help and encouragement, they won this unprecedented battle in just a very short time.
