Manichaeism The army has set out, and naturally, it cannot escape the notice of those who are attentive. However, Manichaeism never intended to hide it from the beginning...
Xiliang Military Governor's Office.
"Everyone, we have received news from the front line that Manichaeism has mobilized all troops. It will not be long before the two armies clash. If anyone has thoughts on this, please share them so that we can report truthfully to Emperor!"
A middle-aged man dressed in court attire, White No-Beard, with a sharp voice, bowed his hands towards the direction of Western Chu Imperial City and then looked at the crowd below.
"General Wen, you speak first."
Before anyone could react, Su Mingde, who was appointed as the Grand Commander of the Xiliang military by Western Chu Imperial City, directly called out a name.
"This..." The named General Wen paused for a moment and awkwardly smiled, saying, "Manichaeism is powerful. My Xiliang Prefecture has always been impoverished. Although the people are fierce, it is difficult to compete with regular troops. In my opinion, we should focus on defense and avoid direct confrontation with Manichaeism."
"Hmph..."
Although Su Mingde was not satisfied, he knew this was the best approach. He then looked at others: "General Dai Xiangzuo, please share your thoughts."
"Yes!"
That General Dai stood up, walked to the Sandbox, and demonstrated to everyone: "Manichaeism is coming on strong; we must do our utmost to block them while waiting for reinforcements to arrive. If Manichaeism wants to completely occupy my Xiliang Prefecture, it will inevitably provoke resistance from our Xiliang martial world..."
The army of Manichaeism had been advancing smoothly, but suddenly stopped outside Sishui City.
"What happened?"
Jiang Han, sitting in his carriage and sipping wine while being served by a stunning maid, casually spoke upon hearing the commotion outside.
"Reporting to the Master, the Yin Feng Sword Sect is leading the martial forces near Sishui City to block our way. Please give your orders!" A disciple immediately replied.
Jiang Han asked, "What is their strength? How many Innate experts are there? A few or dozens?"
Yang Xiao waved his hand to let the responding disciple step aside and thought for a moment, "There should be seven people."
Jiang Han sneered, "Only seven? I don't understand where they get the confidence to block my Manichaeism's path! But it doesn't matter; in the face of absolute strength, any schemes will lose their effect. This time, Manichaeism has dispatched over one hundred seventy Innate Martial Artists, with more than a handful being Half-Step Martial Arts Grandmasters. Even if we randomly select a few outstanding disciples from the Five Elements Flag or Bright Hall, it would be enough to bring the Yin Feng Sword Sect to utter ruin!"
Of course, while Jiang Han mentioned sending a few outstanding disciples, Yang Xiao certainly wouldn't only send a few disciples to carry out such a task; suffering a setback is the most taboo thing in the martial world.
The Yin Feng Sword Sect gathered warriors from several surrounding counties, sects, martial families, and martial arts masters, totaling around three to four thousand people, boldly blocking Manichaeism's path.
Looking at the dense crowd of Manichaeism, which seemed endless, the leader of the Yin Feng Sword Sect trembled with fear in his legs and swallowed hard but still forced himself to shout angrily at the opposite side: "Manichaeism Leader Jiang Han! You dare to march into the Central Plains? Are you declaring war on my Central Plains Martial Arts World? Have you lost your mind?"
Before Jiang Han could respond, Yin Tianzheng drew his bow and shot an arrow as a reply. Although he missed his target, it startled the opposing side.
Yin Tianzheng scoffed and said disdainfully, "Qi Zhangmen, one must have self-awareness. You, a mere Yin Feng Sword Sect, cannot represent the entire Central Plains Martial Arts World. Moreover, a year ago, the Six Major Sects besieged my Manichaeism's Bright Summit. Now that we retaliate, it is only natural."
Jiang Han was too lazy to listen to their chatter and lazily said, "Why waste words with them! All troops attack and tear them to pieces!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce blood light erupted from Jiang Han's hand. A Blade Light spanning over ten feet slashed out and directly struck the city wall, creating a massive hole.
"Yes!"
The disciples of Manichaeism charged forward with red eyes, filled with killing intent, each one brimming with excitement.
In the past, when Manichaeism was in decline, even when conflicts arose with the Central Plains Martial Arts World, the higher-ups of Manichaeism always urged restraint, trying to avoid provoking them. But now, they could actively charge into the Central Plains and tear apart those who looked down on them. Was there anything more satisfying than this?
Moreover, before setting out, the leader had announced that they would not harm the common people of the Central Plains. However, for every stubborn member of the opposing forces killed, they could earn merit points to exchange for advanced martial arts, panaceas, and genius landmarks. If enough merit points were accumulated, one could even request the leader to personally teach martial arts.
"Ah—" Qi Yuansong watched as disciples of the Yin Feng Sword Sect fell one by one into pools of blood. He could no longer afford to feel fear and charged towards Jiang Han with his Three-Foot Azure Edge Sword.
The terrifying sword energy swept through like a raging wind, transforming into a blue dragon that roared towards Jiang Han!
At that moment, Tang Yang, the Flood Flag Banner Master standing beside Yin Tianzheng, made his move!
He struck out with a palm, and the imprint resembled a shimmering lake surface—soft and gentle, devoid of any lethality—but it easily intercepted Qi Yuansong's lethal attack. Soon after, the two engaged in a fierce battle.
Moments later, Tang Yang returned holding his opponent's head. "Reporting to the leader, I have fulfilled my duty!"
"Leader, the others have lost their will to resist. What do you think?" Baghdad Zen Master tentatively spoke up.
Jiang Han shot him a glance. However, such a simple gaze frightened him so much that he withdrew his foot that had taken half a step forward.
"Those willing to 'repent and reform' may have their punishments reduced at discretion, but the Sword Sect must be completely annihilated—leave not a single one!"
