"Die!" Jidu roared, his Frost Greatsword flaring with intense radiance!

In an instant, the field was a blur of flashing blades and soaring flames, dazzling the eye! It was like a volcano erupting in real-time.

In the blink of an eye, the four had exchanged over a hundred moves, and Jidu only fought with increasing ferocity! He held the three to a standstill.

But the trio—Moroloh Warhawk, Moroloh War-sky, and Moroloh Sky-wind—grew more alarmed the longer they fought. After surrounding Jidu, it was now Jidu pressing the attack while the three defended. How could they accept this? Seeing no sign of Jidu's assault letting up, they grew anxious.

Although Jidu cycled through only his few moves from the Seven Forms of Army Breaking, and nothing else. Strictly speaking, the Seven Forms of Army Breaking wasn't some particularly profound blade art, especially since Jidu was using a sword to mimic the blade techniques, leaving numerous openings. However, under the terrifying might of his Blazing Fire Sword, coupled with his brute strength and astonishing speed, these openings couldn't truly be called flaws; they seemed more like deliberate traps set to lure the enemy in. Often, just as the trio couldn't help but attack what they perceived as an opening, that opening would vanish instantly, followed by a savage, relentless counterattack. Once unleashed, this attack was like a massive tidal wave, endless and unending! It left them struggling to defend, running for their lives, utterly miserable!

Trapped within Jidu’s close proximity, Moroloh Warhawk and his two companions were clearly losing ground. But seeing Jidu remain utterly composed, seemingly holding back reserves, they inwardly despaired!

Jidu’s sixty-plus years of invincibility on the battlefield proved he possessed extraordinary ability. Only at this moment did everyone truly grasp the terrifying power of the Silver Demon.

At this precise moment, Jidu was enveloped in a profoundly mysterious, almost trance-like state due to a familiar sensation! Every movement, every sweep of his sword through the air, appeared fluid and effortless, as if born of nature itself. Every strike carried an irresistible pressure; even when they knew his follow-up move was inevitable and they were helplessly drawn toward it, Jidu had completely seized control of the situation.

Seeing Jidu gain the upper hand, every soldier of the Prague Legion cheered in unison!

"Well done! General Jidu!" Jin Yaohong couldn't help but clench his fists and wave them wildly: "Truly worthy of being General Jidu, the Silver Demon."

"Mm." Jin Yaoming was equally thrilled, but his hands didn't stop moving as he, with the help of a few personal guards, rapidly fitted the Fire Demon Battle Armor onto me.

Soon, with their assistance, the Fire Demon Battle Armor was donned. Although my physique was vastly different from Jialie's, the Demon Armor possessed the function to adjust its size. Thus, wearing it felt completely natural, as if this set of Demon Armor had been tailor-made for me.

Once the final breastplate was secured, I instinctively channeled the Dou Qi energy within me, pouring it throughout my body and fusing it with the Demon Armor. Almost simultaneously, an incomparably dense wave of energy rapidly enveloped my entire being.

Ah! Was this the mysterious power of the Demon Armor! At this moment, I felt a restless, explosive energy surging through me. I couldn't describe the feeling, but this marvelous sensation was like being possessed by a god or a demon—a complete world away from how I felt before. I never imagined feeling this sense of boundless strength would ever be mine.

I felt like a true deity descended upon the mortal realm, confident that I could punch a speeding semi-truck straight off the road if it charged at me.

It was truly miraculous. Was this merely an illusion? If the intensity of my previous Dou Qi fluctuations could be compared to a small stream, then the energy I possessed now was equivalent to a massive Yangtze River—the difference was far more than just a little bit.

The Demon Armor could artificially multiply one's power by up to five times. However, in the realm of martial arts, one plus one isn't simply two, and one multiplied by five isn't as rigid as a simple fivefold physical manifestation of power.

The increase in strength, the increase in speed, brought with it a completely different state of mind and experience that those who haven't truly reached that level can never comprehend. In this moment, I deeply felt the unrivaled confidence that comes with wielding immense power.

"It seems Your Highness can indeed master the Demon Armor now," Jin Yao said with a rare smile: "From this day forward, you are the new Fire Demon of the Morolong Royal Family."

"Yes, General." As I spoke, I cautiously absorbed the exhilarating feeling, then looked toward the distant combat circle where Jidu fought.

"General Jidu, you must keep fighting!" At that moment, I desperately wished I could rush forward and showcase my skills, but I knew clearly that I had merely gained immense power out of thin air; learning how to command, control, and utilize this power wasn't something achievable in a moment. I could only wait patiently for the right time.

The arena remained filled with flashing blades and soaring Dou Qi. Jidu truly seemed possessed by a demon god now, growing stronger with every exchange. Amidst the sky-filled Dou Qi, Jidu’s lightning-fast figure chased the fleeing Moroloh Sky-wind everywhere. Currently, Moroloh Sky-wind had no choice but to desperately run for his life; he couldn't spare enough time to launch magical attacks. Moroloh Warhawk and Moroloh War-sky dared not stray far from Moroloh Sky-wind’s side. They knew well that if Sky-wind lost their protection, he absolutely couldn't withstand Jidu's assault. Therefore, they could only shadow Sky-wind's movements and attempt to strike Jidu when the opportunity arose, but it achieved little effect. Instead, they were constantly enveloped by Jidu's powerful sword energy strikes, making it seem as if Jidu was chasing and fighting all three of them single-handedly—an eerie situation.

..........................................................................

If this continued, defeat was only a matter of time; the three realized this simultaneously.

"Roar!! I'll fight you to the death!" A savage, blazing crimson light flashed in Moroloh Warhawk's eyes! His body shot upwards into the high sky!! Countless brilliant, flame-like lights instantly burst forth from his form: "Roar! You two step aside, let me handle him!" Moroloh Warhawk, having ascended, bellowed, and astonishing Dou Qi instantly shot out, flooding the entire area. The terrifying Dou Qi surged, forming a massive vortex centered on himself, spinning wildly. In an instant, it was like flames incinerating the sky; the horrifying heat actually far surpassed Jidu’s Blazing Fire Sword Qi field, astonishing everyone present with its potential to melt everything!

"Heavenly Demon Infinity!!" Moroloh War-sky and Moroloh Sky-wind gasped in terror! They immediately retreated rapidly!!

Ah! It was Heavenly Demon Infinity! Rahu Jialan and Yanzhao were both shocked: "I'm going to help General Jidu..." Yanzhao flew toward the direction where Jidu was fighting.

On the other side, the personal guards of Moroloh War-heaven and Moroloh War-cloud from the Aotian Legion desperately rushed forward, trying to reclaim the corpses of their masters. But how could Rahu Jialan allow that?

It was well known that the Heavenly Demon Armor was the most vital resource for any nation, and the presence of personal guards existed precisely to retrieve the main general's corpse should the general fall, thus securing the Heavenly Demon Armor. But even though these guards fought fearlessly, facing Jialan, the Rahu Heavenly Demon, they could only sacrifice their lives in vain.

Rahu Jialan merely unleashed a single crescent slash, forcing all the charging guards back. Then, without hesitation, he grabbed the corpses of Moroloh War-heaven and Moroloh War-cloud, one in each hand, and quickly retreated to the main formation. Not only had they killed Moroloh War-cloud and Moroloh War-heaven of the Aotian Legion this time, but they had also successfully seized two sets of Heavenly Demon Armor from the Aotian Legion, which greatly boosted the morale of the Prague Legion.

Seeing Jialan retreat like a phantom back to the main lines, the soldiers of the Prague Legion burst into cheers once more.

On the other side, facing Moroloh Warhawk who had activated Heavenly Demon Infinity, Jidu was greatly startled. He stopped pursuing Moroloh Sky-wind and assumed a defensive stance, watching the rapidly approaching Moroloh Warhawk.

Heavenly Demon Infinity was a secret martial art of the Sealing Demon Empire, a supreme technique capable of exponentially increasing one's Dou Qi energy. Once activated, one's Dou Qi energy would surge by at least threefold, but this supreme art carried a severe flaw: regardless of success or failure, activating it would cause serious energy depletion, potentially leading to immediate death from exhaustion. It was an incredibly perilous move.

In truth, Moroloh Warhawk activating Heavenly Demon Infinity out of desperation was due to the dire situation. He had initially believed they could kill Jidu through sheer numerical superiority, but who could have foreseen Jidu being so formidable and tenacious.

Not only had Jidu killed Moroloh War-cloud, but he had also pinned down Moroloh Warhawk and Moroloh Sky-wind, preventing the allied Heavenly Demon Warriors from eliminating the enemy Heavenly Demon Warriors as planned, and severely impeding the siege progress. It could be said that Jidu alone was single-handedly bearing the attack of four Heavenly Demon Warriors—a result no one anticipated.

If the delay continued, defeat was inevitable. The entire southern front operations of the Morolong Alliance would fall into a passive state. This siege operation had deployed all of the Aotian Legion’s reserves, intended to capture Yuncheng in one fell swoop and open the path north into the Morolong Empire. If this wave of the siege failed to take Yuncheng, it would severely impact the overall combat plan of the Morolong Alliance. Moreover, they had already lost Moroloh War-cloud; although this cost them the life of Jialie, the Fire Demon, the fact that their three warriors combined couldn't even defeat the current Jidu would severely damage morale if word got out. Furthermore, if Yuncheng held out against this assault, coupled with the emergence of that blue lightning bolt restraining the Aotian Legion's Mage Corps, the Holy Word Alliance's morale would undoubtedly soar. The consequences of one side gaining while the other lost were simply unthinkable. Therefore, Jidu must be killed here, even if it cost Moroloh Warhawk his life. For the victory of the Morolong Alliance, for the glory of the Royal Family, and for the dignity of being a Heavenly Demon Warrior, defeat was impossible here. He had to be killed, even if it meant utter annihilation!

Roaring, Moroloh Warhawk, driven by a will to die, immediately activated the third layer of the strongest Heavenly Demon Infinity: Asura Life and Death Tribulation! Once activated, this Asura Life and Death Tribulation meant certain death—not just for the enemy, but for himself too. In other words, regardless of the outcome of this battle, Moroloh Warhawk was destined to explode and perish.

Roar! The seven-colored Dou Qi spun wildly, then generated a terrifying suction force!! It began pulling Jidu, Moroloh War-sky, and Moroloh Sky-wind toward Moroloh Warhawk!

Ah! This sudden drastic change made Jidu's face pale with shock. The terrifying energy field pressed down on him like a colossal mountain range, and his body was being irresistibly drawn toward the center of the vortex!!

"Ah! It's Heavenly Demon Infinity—Asura Life and Death Tribulation!" Moroloh War-sky and Moroloh Sky-wind were struck with utter terror, instantly understanding Moroloh Warhawk's intent.

Fortunately, having been forewarned by Moroloh Warhawk, Moroloh War-sky and Moroloh Sky-wind gathered all their energy and shot away like white cranes soaring through clouds, instantly fleeing far outside the combat circle.

Ah! The terrifying energy pressure made Jidu's entire body feel on the verge of shattering. Such Dou Qi energy was simply unheard of; this horrifying aura far exceeded Jidu's imagination!

No, I must find a way to escape his energy vortex field! Otherwise, if I am pulled into the center, I will surely be ground to dust.

But before Jidu could devise a solution—

"Roar! Mad Dragon World Destruction!" Another thunderous explosion erupted! Moroloh Warhawk’s Well Moon unleashed a massive Blazing Fire Sword Qi, slicing down from the air! This strike was overwhelmingly dominant, capable of shattering the heavens and destroying the earth!

Ah! Looking up at this mightily descending strike, Jidu was completely helpless due to the vortex’s terrifying pulling force.

Jidu’s body was still uncontrollably moving toward Moroloh Warhawk. To escape the vortex's pull, Jidu had pushed every ounce of his Dou Qi energy, yet he still couldn't break free of the attraction. Facing the massive blaze slashing down, evasion was impossible. He felt a surge of dread! But his intense will to survive made his brain work overtime—there had to be a way!

"General, charge in!" Suddenly, a clear, urgent shout reached Jidu's ears. Ah, it was Xingchen's voice. Although Jidu didn't understand Xingchen's intention, at this moment, he couldn't afford to dwell on it.

Roar!! Jidu let out a muffled roar, advancing instead of retreating. His figure shot forward like lightning, colliding with the lower body of the airborne Moroloh Warhawk in a flash of light and fire—precisely where the terrifying energy vortex was centered. Everyone watching couldn't comprehend why Jidu would seek his own death. Only Moroloh Warhawk, suspended mid-air, saw his pupils contract sharply.

No one understood the flaw in the Mad Dragon World Destruction technique better than Moroloh Warhawk. It was precisely the center of the vortex. It was truly a case of seeking life by throwing oneself into death. But Moroloh Warhawk never expected that he had only just unleashed the move...

...before someone saw through it. Looking in the direction of the voice, Moroloh Warhawk saw a golden silhouette rapidly rushing toward him.

Ah! It was the Fire Demon!

In almost an instant, Moroloh Warhawk could scarcely believe his eyes. Hadn't the Fire Demon been killed? But very quickly, Moroloh Warhawk recognized the figure, and that familiar aura.

Yes! It was him! Him again! That blue figure that flashed like a startled swan in Cicheng still vividly echoed in Moroloh Warhawk's mind. It was this person who had plunged the Aotian Legion into a situation almost beyond redemption, and now, at this final moment, it was this person whose single phrase had exposed the flaw in Mad Dragon World Destruction!

Was this fate? So it was him that Jidu spoke of as the reborn Fire Demon! And he was even wearing the Heavenly Demon Armor—the worst fear of the Aotian Legion had come true!

In a single moment, Moroloh Warhawk had pieced everything together, but it was far too late.

Whoosh!! As Mad Dragon World Destruction slashed down, Jidu’s figure miraculously vanished from sight. No one knew how Jidu disappeared.

Boom! Rumble!!! The Mad Dragon World Destruction finally smashed into the ground with unstoppable force. In an instant, the entire Yuncheng shook. A terrifying wave of energy instantly exploded from the city walls, sending countless huge stones scattering wildly. Some rocks whistled straight into the sky, while more blasted toward the surroundings, striking enemies and allies alike, even those a hundred meters away, cutting down great numbers of soldiers.

The section of the city wall that was struck split in two, revealing a massive breach, as if it had been cleanly cut in half by a colossal axe. But Moroloh Warhawk, having missed his target, showed no pause. He spun around and delivered an electric slash, sending a crescent-shaped, incredibly dense Blazing Fire Sword Qi sweeping horizontally behind him. Others didn't know why Jidu vanished, but Moroloh Warhawk knew very well the sole weakness of Mad Dragon World Destruction.

Mad Dragon World Destruction actually worked by using a powerful energy vortex field to imprison the enemy within its field, then delivering a thunderous strike from above. Normally, any opponent caught in the Mad Dragon World Destruction energy vortex field whose strength was inferior would be instantly swept away, like a leaf caught in a tornado, until they were shredded by the constant, violent rotation of the terrifying energy field. Even strong Heavenly Demon Warriors who could withstand the force without being lifted would still be pulled toward the vortex center by the terrifying suction, meeting the same fate of being torn to pieces. A slightly stronger opponent would be forced to exert all their energy resisting the vortex's pull, rendering them unable to move. Thus, the descending slash would become the final killing blow! In essence, Mad Dragon World Destruction sealed off almost every avenue of escape for the opponent; unless their Dou Qi energy vastly surpassed his own, death was certain. Jidu and Moroloh Warhawk's Dou Qi energies were relatively close, and in fact, Moroloh Warhawk’s energy field was slightly stronger than Jidu’s, and this was only in normal circumstances regarding the comparison of their Dou Qi energies. Now, with Moroloh Warhawk having activated Heavenly Demon Infinity, his Dou Qi energy was nearly three times his original capacity. Under these conditions, Moroloh Warhawk held an overwhelming advantage in the Dou Qi energy comparison. Normally, facing such a huge disparity in Dou Qi energy, Jidu would have no hope of escaping. However, no one knew that this technique bore an astonishing similarity to the Spiral Dou Qi once unleashed by White Tiger Luoyan.

During that decisive battle, Xingchen had nearly died to the Spiral Dou Qi, only finding a way to break it by recalling experiences from his past life.

He never expected that this invaluable experience would prove useful again, even saving Jidu's life.

Trapped by the terrifying energy vortex of Mad Dragon World Destruction, Jidu, facing mortal danger and receiving the hint from Xingchen, immediately charged without hesitation toward the vortex's center. The result was that the vortex's terrifying suction, combined with Jidu pushing his entire Dou Qi energy to surge forward, caused the two forces to stack up, instantly boosting Jidu’s speed and allowing him to break free of the energy vortex's pull. Because his speed was so immense, the sensation given to observers was that Jidu had vanished into thin air.

And Jidu, seasoned by countless battles, while unable to stop his momentum upon exiting the energy vortex field, managed to unleash a Blazing Fire Sword Qi in a flash of light—like lightning—aimed directly at Moroloh Warhawk's upper back! Countless battles had honed Jidu's instincts to seize this fleeting opportunity to counterattack.

The lightning-fast Blazing Fire Sword Qi did not travel in a straight line; instead, it darted through the air in a bizarre S-shaped arc!

Moroloh Warhawk, having landed, seemed to have anticipated that Jidu would seize this opening. Therefore, without looking back, he immediately countered with a crescent-shaped Blazing Fire Sword Qi slash.

Whoosh! The flying crescent sword Qi was deftly dodged by a nimble sidestep from the Blazing Fire Sword Qi, slipping past it with uncanny skill, and then continued unabated, slamming directly into Moroloh Warhawk's chest!

Ah! So fast! In this situation, there was no time to evade.

Moroloh Warhawk could only desperately force his protective Dou Qi to stabilize himself.

Thud! A dull, heavy boom suddenly erupted. The elusive Blazing Fire Sword Qi finally struck Moroloh Warhawk.

The terrifying Dou Qi explosion sent Moroloh Warhawk's robust body flying backward, but his powerful protective Dou Qi prevented him from taking significant damage. Moroloh Warhawk, flying in retreat, strained to stabilize his form.

But at that very moment, a thunderous blast suddenly ripped through the air!

Mid-air, above and to the side of Moroloh Warhawk’s retreat, a blinding ball of light erupted. Jidu's golden figure flashed like a ghost, appearing out of nowhere.

Ah! This! Wasn't this move White Tiger Roaring Heaven, used by Blood Tiger Luojiang?

Roar!

A world-shaking, dazzling blade light split the air and descended!

Moroloh Warhawk, still suspended in mid-air, had nowhere to brace himself and could only desperately raise the long saber in his hand.

Slash! A flash of white light, and blood sprayed!

In the hazy glow, countless shards shot forth at astonishing speed.

The Mo Luo Battle Hawk suspended in mid-air was cleaved in two by Ji Du’s strike, but because the immense battle qi condensed by its death-defying launch of the Tian Mo Wu Xian suddenly exploded as its carcass split apart!

Caught entirely off guard, Ji Du took the full blast, flung back like shrapnel nearly thirty meters before crashing heavily onto the ground.

“No!”

“Battle Hawk!”

“General Ji Du.”

Mo Luo Tian Feng and Mo Luo Zhan Kong cried out simultaneously, neither having anticipated this! The desperate Kuang Long Mie Shi unleashed by the Mo Luo Battle Hawk was broken so easily by Ji Du; not only that, but Ji Du seized the opening to instantly slay the Mo Luo Battle Hawk on the spot.

All across the ramparts lay scattered remains of the Mo Luo Battle Hawks, and even the incredibly resilient Tian Mo Zhan Jia had been split open by the astonishing power of that single blade, subsequently being atomized by the terrifying explosion of battle qi.

Whoosh! Almost the instant Ji Du had slain the Mo Luo Battle Hawk! Countless crimson clouds suddenly materialized beneath the oppressive sky, completely enveloping the entire world in a thick, veiled shade of blood-red.

The intense magical fluctuations, along with the suffocatingly dense fire-elemental energy, put Ji Du on high alert immediately!

Mie Tian Huo Zhi Lie Yan Fen Tian.
