Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 195 Inhumanity

Tanglang City.

A border town between Tianqing Kingdom and Sihai Kingdom.

Tanglang City is by no means inferior to Heiya City, safeguarding between Tianqing Kingdom and Sihai Kingdom.

Because the border area between Sihai Kingdom and Tianqing Kingdom is an endless grassland, most of the war horses of both countries are raised on this plain, hence the border towns between the two countries are built very massive.

It's an easy task to garrison a million troops.

Above the city gate.

Xiao Yi, Gu Junhe, Yu Huaxian, Jiang Weisheng, Xue Bufan, Jiang Tai, Huangpao, and others were all present.

The banners whipped against the azure sky, fluttering in the wind.

On the plain below, a fierce cold wind blew across the boundless expanse, where Great Jin Kingdom's hundred thousand Golden Crow Guards and a million-strong army were arrayed in line. They made no attempt at concealment; in the eyes of Great Jin Kingdom, Tianqing Kingdom was nothing but ants, easily crushed by hand, especially since this battle was one of vengeance for Great Jin Kingdom.

They aimed not only to annihilate Tianqing Kingdom but also to intimidate their vassal states.

To showcase the might of Great Jin Kingdom!

Beneath the Great Qian, Great Jin reigns supreme!

Therefore.

As soon as Qin Yu arrived outside Tanglang City, he ordered his troops to fully deploy, with an imposing momentum, and powerful murderous intent condensed into blood-red clouds.

Over a million people stood in silence, with only the banners against the sky and the war horses neighing.

The mere sight of this was enough to send shivers down one's spine, hair standing on end.

This time, the lead commander was Xiao Yi!

Even Jiang Tai, the lord of Tianqing Kingdom, had to stand aside, but he did so without any complaints.

In the past, Tianqing Kingdom had only one person in the Tao Tribulation Realm, Jiang Weisheng, but now there were six, including extraordinary beings like Xue Bufan, Yu Huaxian, and Huangpao, who were far beyond the typical Tao Tribulation Realm.

Behind him stood an even more formidable force of two million from the Four Symbols Legion.

A million beast cavalry!

All of this was thanks to Xiao Yi!

The sound of hooves clopped rapidly.

A figure rushed out from the Great Jin Kingdom's camp, heading straight for Tanglang City.

This was a general at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, clad in golden armor.

This person was a commander of the Golden Crow Guards.

The golden-armored warrior stood below Tanglang City, slightly tilting his head up to look at Xiao Yi and the others above the city gate with a face full of arrogance, "Who is the lord of Tianqing Kingdom, Jiang Tai?"

Jiang Tai stood with his hands behind his back, squinting as he replied, "I am he!"

"So it's you!"

The golden-armored warrior sneered with contempt, "By the order of General Qin, Tianqing Kingdom's lord Jiang Tai is demanded to open the city gates swiftly and present the traitor Xiao Yi's head. Otherwise, our army will purge Tianqing Kingdom, sparing not a single soul!"

Boom!

Above the city gate, everyone was furious.

Pairs of cold eyes landed on the golden-armored warrior.

Yet he stood confident with the backing of Great Jin Kingdom, utterly unafraid of the crowd, "General Qin gave you one hour to consider. However, to prevent that hour from being too dull, General Qin has prepared some entertaining performances for you all—I hope you'll enjoy them! Hahaha…"

With that, the golden-armored warrior strode away.

When he returned to the ranks.

Within the Great Jin Kingdom's military formation, a dense crowd of people appeared.

At a rough count, their number exceeded two hundred thousand.

"Those seem to be the civilians from Sihai Kingdom!"

"What is Qin Yu planning to do? Surely he doesn't intend to drive the refugees from Sihai Kingdom to assault our Tanglang City?"

While everyone was puzzled.

Behind each civilian from Sihai Kingdom emerged a soldier of Great Jin Kingdom.

"Not good!"

"They plan to execute at the front of the army?"

The faces of Xiao Yi and the others suddenly changed...

Puu, puu, puu!

A series of blade lights tore through the air, the silver glint of the blades extremely dazzling amidst the blazing flames.

Wherever the blade's edge passed.

Heads hit the ground!

Two hundred thousand people, none were spared!

Above the great land, heads rolled and blood flowed, converging into rivers of blood, dyeing the fields a bright shade of red.

Two hundred thousand people were killed just like that!

"Beasts, these are nothing but beasts..."

"Among them were many children, could they really bring themselves to kill even children?"

All the generals of Tianqing Kingdom had their eyes split with rage, unable to contain their fury.

In their anger,

they became even more determined to win this battle!

If they were to fail...

Should the armies of Great Jin Kingdom enter Tianqing Kingdom, the fate of Tianqing's people would be the same as those two hundred thousand.

Clip-clop, clip-clop!

The golden-armored general made his return trip, his face bearing an arrogant look, and declared, "This is the spectacle General Qin has prepared for you... If within an hour Xiao Yi is not handed over, when Great Jin Kingdom's iron hooves flatten Tianqing Kingdom, everyone from the top down in your Tianqing will meet this end! Remember, you only have one hour, hahahaha..."

Continue your saga on empire

Watching the golden-armored general leave with high strides,

the top of the city gate was immersed in silence.

Bang!

Jiang Tai abruptly shattered the stone tiles in front of him, his eyes blood-red as he gnashed his teeth and said, "How dare Great Jin Kingdom do this?"

Yu Huaxian said indifferently, "This is the law of the jungle, where the weak can't even control their own life or death."

"Qin Yu is delusional, thinking he can make me hand over Xiao? Ridiculous!"

Jiang Tai, with a fiery gaze towards everyone, suddenly bowed deeply, solemnly saying, "I entrust you, generals, to protect Tianqing Kingdom, to not let those beasts step even half into Tanglang City!"

With Qin Yu's tactics,

once they got past Tanglang City, once Tianqing Kingdom was conquered, they genuinely might go as far as to massacre the whole country!

This is not just a mere city's slaughter,

but the butchery of a nation!

Massacring an entire country!

Before this...

They couldn't even imagine such things.

But Qin Yu, he was someone who truly could do it.

After all,

as Xiao Yi had previously trapped and slaughtered several hundred thousand of Tianlan Kingdom's army, it was because both armies were locked in battle, where either you die or I perish. Even after he later breached Tianlan Kingdom and Qingyun Kingdom, he never laid a hand on any innocent civilians, but Qin Yu was different. As the owner of the Blood Demon Battle Body, the more he killed, the stronger he became.

Should he massacre an entire nation, he might even manifest his Dharma and step into the Dharma Manifestation Realm!

This is also why Qin Yu's march to war involved daily city slaughters.

He is using this opportunity to enhance his cultivation, aiming for Dharma Manifestation!

Inside the military formation of Great Jin Kingdom.

The Eastern War King laughed, "General Qin, those scums of Tianqing Kingdom are probably shaken by your move, now they must be in a state of panic!"

The Southern War King cleaned his ears, speaking lightly, "The mere Tianqing Kingdom dares to provoke Great Jin Kingdom; they truly have no sense of living or dying. What's the big deal even if we massacre their entire population?"

"We should first congratulate General Qin, once he massacres the entire Tianqing Kingdom, his Blood Demon Battle Body might reach complete maturity, and Dharma is not far off!" The Western War King looked at Qin Yu with deep wariness and a tinge of envy, "By then, we will rely on General Qin's support!"

The Blood Demon Battle Body!

Capable of devouring the Qi-Blood of living beings to rapidly increase one's cultivation.

They too coveted such a heaven-defying physique!

However...

In the past, Great Jin Kingdom seldom engaged in wars, so it was impossible to start a war of annihilation just for Qin Yu's sake, and he could only covertly kill to absorb Qi-Blood. Now, however, he has a legitimate opportunity, even the chance to strike at Dharma Manifestation Realm, naturally, he will not squander such a perfect chance.

Qin Yu laughed heartily, "Well said, well said!"

On this campaign across Sihai Kingdom, he had slaughtered over a dozen cities; his cultivation had progressed from the Seventh Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm to the Eighth Layer Realm. He was eager to breach Tianqing Kingdom, massacre the whole country, and make his push towards Dharma Manifestation.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

"It seems Tianqing Kingdom's rabble has decided to resist to the end!"

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu glanced at the golden-armored general beside him and coldly ordered, "Sound the drums, attack!"
