Above Innate, it’s the higher level.

Heavenly Will of exterminating the demon came from the direction of the Imperial Capital. Anyone but a fool would think of Jiang Ming. After all, his combat power was against heaven, reaching an incredible realm.

Great Grandmasters at their peak could kill with a flick of a finger.

Besides him being an Outer Realm Heavenly Devil, who else could it be?

The rise of Yan Feng was illegitimate, and he fiercely suppressed his opponents, washing the court in blood. Though it silenced the world, now there was such an opportunity, who among the royal family would not be overjoyed?

With a wave of their arms, the responders gathered.

In no time, beacon fires were ignited everywhere and smoke filled the air.

To besiege the Great Demon, an army of 500,000 quickly assembled outside the gate of the northern land, eagerly watching.

The court was overturned overnight.

Yet despite that, the court only issued a decree for calm and defense, never allowing any unauthorized movements or disturbance to civilians. As for the rest, they did not care at all.

Even along the way, all the gates were wide open, with direct access to the Imperial Capital.

All the people in the world wondered, were they to accept their fate?

That was absolutely impossible.

Twenty-four feudal kings and seventy-two sects soon arrived at the place called Changping, a hundred miles west of the Imperial Capital. Here, there was Heaven’s Gate Pass, guarding the western gate of the imperial capital, temporarily blocking the large army.

Outside the dangerous pass was a flat and open area, known as Changping.

The army was said to have a million soldiers, three thousand at the Innate stage, a hundred at the Grandmaster stage, and several at the Great Grandmaster stage.

On the city wall, several people stood.

These were Jiang Ming, Lu Yuan, Wang Wudi, Chen Yu, Commander Jin, Yan Feng, Lan, and an old Taoist with white hair and beard.

They were all here.

Looking at the endless mass of tents in front of them, they were all deeply shocked.

“Elder Zhang, 1 still don’t understand why you don’t take action?” Jiang Ming asked with a smile, addressing the old Taoist beside him.

“Heavenly Will, Heavenly Will – if there truly is a Heavenly Will, we are just chess pieces!” Elder Zhang looked up at the sky, his aura reaching high. “If we follow Heaven’s command, we will be forever trapped on the chessboard. Being a chess piece, our duty is to break through the barriers and jump out of the chessboard. 1 always firmly believe in one thing: man can conquer nature. As an old Taoist, I don’t believe there are people who can only be chess pieces!”

Turning around, he suddenly laughed: “In fact, I am more interested in the view above the Great Grandmaster and your world. I also want to know what immortals look like.”

Elder Zhang’s eyes grew serious: “1 also want to ask a question: is the world we live in really just a chessboard?”

“I don’t know!” Jiang Ming shook his head, and said, “But 1 came here, and 1 can leave too.”

“I see!” Elder Zhang exclaimed with elation.

He could come and go.

So what about the others?

Of course, they would also have a chance to leave, although it should be difficult, but there was hope.

What could be better news than this!

“How will you deal with this one-million-strong army? Do you need the old Taoist to take action?” Elder Zhang asked.

“No need!” Jiang Ming confidently laughed and said, “Everyone, watch me as I slaughter my way to a peaceful and prosperous world!”

Clang…

The long sword was drawn, suspended in front of him. Jiang Ming leaped onto it and instantly moved forward.

“Sword Control Flight is truly a method of the immortals!” Elder Zhang exclaimed in amazement.

Yan Feng and the others silently watched.

In fact, they were not worried about Jiang Ming’s safety at all, having witnessed his terror before.

“Don’t kill too much!” Lu Yuan whispered.

“Can he really slaughter his way through?” Elder Zhang asked doubtfully.

“If he wants, he can!” Lu Yuan nodded.

Elder Zhang’s eyes grew serious, somewhat worried.

But Jiang Ming suddenly stopped because there were several people below, including Tang Xiaotian of the Chunyang Sect and He Qianshan of the Divine Sword Villa.

They were all Tian Zhi Jiaozi (Proud Sons of Heaven), the leaders of the younger generation, and had a good relationship with him.

“Brother Jiang, after returning to the sect, I couldn’t persuade them!” Tang Xiaotian bowed with his hands clasped, bitterly laughing, “Heavenly mandate! They want to fight, especially the sect leader. He wants to see the scenery above the Great Grandmaster. Along with many other sects and the one-million-strong army, he doesn’t believe you can stop them.”

“What about you?” Jiang Ming asked indifferently.

“I want to leave a spark for my sect!” Tang Xiaotian bowed without raising his head.

He Qianshan and the others bitterly smiled, staying bowed.

“After this, hand over your sect’s classics, give up nine-tenths of your wealth, and register the disciples!” Jiang Ming continued without stopping.

Within the army, several feudal kings were gathered together, discussing strategies. They were considering whether to have the Great Grandmasters lead them in an all-out attack or wait for Jiang Ming to arrive.

Meanwhile, Innates and Grandmasters were guarding this place tightly.

Yet just then, Jiang Ming arrived by controlling a sword, causing everyone to be shocked.

“Jiang Ming!” Chunyang Master leaped up, landed on a large banner, and shouted loudly, “For the sake of the people, for a world without arms, for the peace and prosperity of the nation, why don’t you die? If you do, we, the Great Grandmasters, will guarantee our assistance to Emperor Fengwu and achieve true unification. Whether it’s this million-strong army or the North Barbarians, we can all persuade them to join the empire.”

The feudal kings below changed their expressions, their faces ugly as if they had eaten excrement, furious in their hearts but remaining silent.

That was because they were too close to these Great Grandmasters.

“All of you who violate the laws with martial arts should die. Once I control the Supreme Authority, I will trample the world of martial arts and eliminate all sects.”

That was the inner thoughts of all the feudal kings.

Jiang Ming remained silent, but the long sword under his feet suddenly flew up into his hand, and he temporarily hovered in the air.

The long sword was raised high, pointing diagonally at the sky dome.

A murderous Sword Intention burst forth, piercing through the vastness, directly tearing the white clouds above. The frightening intention was like a tide, causing the million-strong army to panic, with people screaming and horses neighing, almost disrupting their formation.

Primal qi trembled, and sword qi condensed.

In an instant, countless sword qi appeared densely in the sky, like dense raindrops.

“Shoot, kill him!”

A feudal king at the Master Realm roared furiously.

Bowstrings collapsed, and arrows flew like rain.

Within the army, many crossbows were aimed at Jiang Ming.

It was at this moment that Jiang Ming’s long sword fell, and at least a hundred feet of sword qi made everyone desperate. The endless sword qi also whistled down, shattering all the arrows that flew.

“Jiang Ming, do you really think you’re invincible?” shouted Chunyang Master. “Chunyang Sword, break the Nine Heavens, block it for me!”

The Great Grandmasters, Grandmasters, and Innate experts below all made their move, but all were engulfed by the boundless, endless sword qi.

In a flash, screams filled the air and a blood mist exploded.

Jiang Ming stared blankly ahead. The previous sword had unexpectedly caused space to warp. Vaguely, he seemed to see countless intersecting lines, like a chessboard pattern.

“World barrier? Rule chains?”

He was puzzled.

At the same time, standing alone against a million-strong army, the boundless Killing Qi also gathered with the sword just now, vaguely making him feel an even higher level of power from the Slaughter Sword Intent.

However, it was too profound and unpredictable.

Difficult to comprehend.

“I’ve already perfected my Slaughter Sword Intent, haven’t 1?”

Jiang Ming was puzzled.

But that sword just revealed something deeper to him.

Suppressing his thoughts, he looked down and saw a blood pit below. Only a few Great Grandmasters barely managed to stand, but they were still covered in blood, all of it sword wounds.

As for the others within this range, all of them were dead.

Whoosh…

With a wave of Jiang Ming’s long sword, Chunyang Master and the others were also killed.

The million-strong army was terrified and began to panic.

“Submit and 1 won’t kill you! Those who move, die!”

Three daggers flew out from Jiang Ming’s body and disappeared into the army. Afterwards, the aura of three Great Grandmasters erupted and then fell silent.

“There are so many Great Grandmasters in this world!”

He couldn’t help but exclaim.

Obviously, many had grown powerful in the wild, wanting to sneak in and exploit the chaos.

As for the daggers?

They were specifically crafted by Yan Feng to pinpoint and kill enemies within the army. Now, it seemed their effectiveness was quite satisfactory.

The three daggers rotated, killing many more Grandmasters before they stopped..
