The Black Flag Legion! Later historical assessments laud the Thunder Flame Legion as the mightiest, but in that era, even the mightiest Thunder Flame Legion was not the most terrifying! The force that brought shivers to men’s spines was the Black Flag Legion, led by the Nine Luminaries Divine True Man! On the Continent of Mafa, black symbolized ill fate, death, and destruction.

Thus, the Black Flag Legion was also dubbed the Death Legion.

The genesis of this terror lay with the Blood Wolf Legion, its predecessor, which first enacted the inhumane policy of "Burn All, Kill All, Loot All"—a policy championed by the Nine Luminaries Divine True Man, later acclaimed as the greatest general.

The reorganized Black Flag Legion executed this doctrine with unwavering resolve, plunging the Demon Sealing Continent into an unparalleled cataclysm.

Through its ruthlessly absolute cruelty, the Black Flag Legion forged the continent’s most feared Death Legion over a thousand years, simultaneously cementing the illustrious reputation of the Nine Luminaries Divine True Man as the supreme War General! This legacy cast a deep, black shadow over the undefeated, unparalleled general, the Nine Luminaries Divine True Man! A millennium later, on the Demon Sealing Continent, the Three-All Policy of the Nine Luminaries Divine True Man and the Black Flag Legion remained a forbidden, terrifying term! —The Book of Sand—The Black Flag Legion Teng Jiao remained composed amidst the turmoil, rapidly issuing a string of commands: "Chila City is immediately under curfew, effective now! The Execution Squad is to hold position and await orders! Mages and Archers are on high alert—once the enemy crosses the perimeter line, engage freely!" "Yes!" The generals acknowledged their orders and swiftly took up defensive formations to meet the incoming enemy! All preparations were complete.

Teng Jiao habitually steadied himself on the battlement, peering down again at the Blood Wolf Knights below.

What puzzled him was that the Blood Wolf Knights remained utterly motionless, simply lingering on the far side of the (warning line), scrutinizing every move on the ramparts, as if waiting for the city’s garrison to fully deploy.

This left Teng Jiao utterly bewildered! "General." Just as Teng Jiao was feeling confused, another Celestial Rainbow Archon, Teng Xuan—Teng Jiao’s partner—arrived. "The audacity of the Blood Wolf Legion!" Seeing his partner arrive, the tension in Teng Jiao’s heart finally eased. "Perhaps I should lead a contingent out to probe their true strength," suggested Teng Xuan. "No need." Teng Jiao said gravely, "The enemy situation is unclear; we cannot act rashly.

We will wait for dawn to assault the city; they won't be able to escape then." Woo-woo-woo! At that moment, the Blood Wolf Legion below the walls sounded their clarion horns! A colossal crimson cloud of fire began to slowly churn! "They are commencing the attack," observed Teng Xuan. "Let them come.

I want to see what tricks you truly possess," Teng Jiao gripped his Blood Drink blade tighter.

Whoosh! In the moonlight, the instant the illumination magic sputtered out! A streak of golden light suddenly erupted! No one knew how he appeared; it was as if he materialized instantly from the void! Ah! Without any warning, before Teng Xuan and Teng Jiao could react! It was a Celestial Demon Warrior! No one else possessed such astonishing speed! In a single moment, Teng Jiao and Teng Xuan reacted—no wonder the Blood Wolf Legion dared to launch such a brazen assault on Chila City! However, Teng Xuan and Teng Jiao, being Celestial Rainbow Archons, were not easily overcome.

Both had been secretly vigilant.

Simultaneously, they raised their Blood Drinks, unleashing four waves of fatal flying wheels that shot out like lightning toward that sudden intrusion! Years of collaboration had forged an uncanny understanding between the pair.

These four fatal flying wheels achieved perfection in angle, velocity, and force! They possessed absolute confidence that no one could escape their combined assault with these four deadly projectiles.

Whoosh! The four fatal flying wheels instantly struck the ghostly, sudden figure in the air! Even a Celestial Demon Warrior would face certain death if struck simultaneously by four fatal flying wheels! They were absolutely confident of this fact! But the scene that unfolded next made them almost doubt their own eyes! Whoosh! Like an intangible phantom, the fatal flying wheels passed straight through the golden figure! The pair paused for only a microsecond! Immediately following! A flash of blood-red light instantly flared! So fast! Teng Jiao felt a chill on his neck! His body involuntarily soared into the sky.

In that fleeting instant, the only thing Teng Jiao saw was a pair of deep, pitch-black eyes.

Black eyes, accompanied by terrifying killing intent, surging like monstrous tidal waves! Ah! It was him! Blue Lightning—the Nine Luminaries Divine True Man! Before losing consciousness, Teng Jiao recalled this name.

Only he in the world could ignore the magical attacks of a Celestial Rainbow Archon! But it was all too late! "..............." The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned speechless; no one could believe what their eyes had witnessed! The two commanding generals had their heads severed in a single exchange! But before they could process it! Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh! The golden lightning in the void, after passing between Teng Jiao and Teng Xuan, abruptly curved in a sharp arc, and shot again, tearing through the dense formation of mages on the city wall! Icy killing intent swept over them! Ah! Thwack-thwack-thwack! Like a gale sweeping away fallen leaves! Golden light flashed! Blood danced and sprayed! No one could discern what the object was! Many instinctively touched their chests, staring at the bloody gaping hole, still wearing expressions of utter bewilderment and disbelief! In the blink of an eye, a massive portion of the mages on the wall collapsed simultaneously! Not a single one managed to launch an offensive fireball! "Ah!" Such an astonishing sight left the remaining soldiers gaping. "It's the Demon Dragon Prince, the Nine Luminaries Divine True Man!" Someone quickly reacted! "It's that demon!" But many more were terrified, turning tail and fleeing: "Run!" Indeed, at the Battle of Yuncheng, this single individual had nearly annihilated the Overlord Legion, which comprised four Celestial Rainbow Archons, six Cardinal Priests, and fifty thousand elite mages—the strongest mage corps in existence.

Such an incredible combat record had already established the Demon Dragon Prince, the Nine Luminaries Divine True Man, as a figure of ultimate terror within the Demon Sealing Empire.

Mages facing him met only death! Even Celestial Demon Warriors could not stop his Dragon Shadow Crossing technique! No one expected this terrifying demon to suddenly appear here, right before their eyes! At this moment, the only thought in the minds of the entire Serpent’s Coil Legion soldiers was to flee! Facing such a terrifying opponent meant nothing but slaughter; no one considered resisting! Like the bursting of the Yellow River dam, countless figures scattered in frantic haste, with no specific direction—only away from the city walls! Whoosh! The golden light darted back and forth, then traced a strange, eerie arc toward the thick city gate! Boom! With an earth-shattering roar! The massive city gate was instantly blasted into smithereens! Roar! Woo! Like a fierce wind, the crimson fire cloud surged inward! Countless giant wolves, like bloodthirsty demons, rushed madly into the dense crowd! Ah! Ah! Thwack-thwack! Heart-rending screams, the crisp sound of breaking bones, the satisfied, frenzied howls of the giant wolves, and the gleeful, wild laughter of the Blood Wolf Knights.

Under the hazy moonlight, a bloody massacre commenced! Yes! This was not war; it was slaughter.

The instant execution of the two main generals annihilated the fighting spirit of the city defenders, compounded by their blind terror of the Demon Devouring Body.

Everyone focused only on escaping with their lives! Yes, escape as far as possible! Although he had anticipated it, Chi Long was stunned by how easily victory arrived! In a single exchange, relying solely on his own power, he had completely shattered the psychological defenses of the entire Chila City garrison! The Demon Dragon Prince! The Nine Luminaries Divine True Man—was he truly human? For the first time, Chi Long felt that perhaps victory was not entirely out of reach! He looked toward the figure flashing golden light rapidly on the city walls, a beacon of victory guiding the way through the darkness! Never before had Chi Long been so utterly convinced that victory would belong to them.

No matter what, they had to seize this rare opportunity! In an instant, Chi Long made his resolution in secret! Everything before me was submerged in a haze of blood-red! The Dragon Shadow Sword in my hand, like a bloodthirsty viper, guided my body in continuous charges and retreats! Countless heads flew into the sky; every figure that stood in the way was pierced by the Dragon Shadow.

At this moment, I had entered a marvelous state! It was as if my entire soul had been split in two.

I could feel the intense killing intent contained within this body, so much so that even my body refused rational control.

Every move, every sword stroke, seemed driven by the most primitive, direct, and pure instinct and awareness.

And the six dragon shadows moved as if alive, completely ignoring my conscious control, flying everywhere, crazily harvesting life from one swath after another! But it was undeniable that this instinctive drive and direct reaction functioned like a high-speed killing machine—efficient, precise.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were littered with the fallen; not a single living body could be found nearby! Only then did the killing intent within my body begin to subside! Whoosh! Like swallows returning to their nest! The six small dragons flew back into the Dragon Shadow Sword! Only then did I subconsciously gaze at the Dragon Shadow Sword.

Its azure blade was crystal clear and flawless.

The nine small dragons manifested from the Nine Dragon Shadows coiled quietly around it, seemingly unrelated to the bloody slaughter just enacted.

Only a faint, subtle, eerie crimson shimmer within the pure azure made these nine small dragons appear as if imbued with life, ready to burst from the blade at any moment! It wasn't an illusion! It was real! I was troubled by this peculiar feeling during the Battle of Yuncheng last time! The Dragon Shadow Sword in my hand is alive! I was nearly shocked speechless by this conclusion! How is this possible! My Dragon Shadow Sword is actually alive! What in the world is going on! At this moment, I subconsciously tried to sense the fluctuations of the Dragon Shadow Sword, but the sword no longer seemed to respond to my call, lying quietly as if the previous events were merely a hallucination! But I was certain now that what just happened was no illusion! It seems I must ask Lu Tong about this when I have the chance! Now, I am somewhat unsure what is happening with this Dragon Shadow Sword.

I know that once a sword acquires life, it is no longer an ordinary dead object.

However, the life fluctuation of my Dragon Shadow Sword currently seems very weak, only awakened when I enter a state of extreme excitement and bloodlust! I couldn't help but feel a mix of awkwardness and helplessness at this conclusion.

Could this sword become a second Crimson Blood Demon Sword? Unease settled in my heart! "Your Highness." Just as I was lost in thought, Chi Long and Lan Bu, leading my mount, approached me. "This is a great victory," Lan Bu exclaimed excitedly. "Hahahaha," Chi Long was even more overjoyed. "It is thanks to Your Highness that we were able to breach Chila City." "........." I blinked in confusion, subconsciously glancing around! Under the moonlight, countless fires soared into the sky! Heart-rending screams echoed everywhere! Countless wolf shadows darted swiftly amidst the flames! There were no more Serpent’s Coil Legion soldiers in sight; they had either been killed or had broken ranks and fled! "Chila City has fallen." Even now, I felt a sense of bewilderment.

It seemed too easy.

But looking at Chi Long and Lan Da, I hadn't forgotten the initial objective: "The two Celestial Rainbow Archons are dead.

Did you secure the Archon Cloaks?" "Of course," Lan Bu boasted, patting the space pouch on his back.

Looting the Archon Cloaks was the first thing they did upon entering the city. "The Crown Prince’s divine might is peerless! He killed two Celestial Rainbow Archons with a single strike—truly formidable!" I felt ashamed internally, secretly thanking my Demon Devouring Body for its magic immunity, which allowed me to catch them completely off guard.

Given their cultivation, even if they couldn't match me, they could have escaped calmly; they wouldn't have been instantly slain like this! But I was certain that such an opportunity would not present itself again! The death of two Celestial Rainbow Archons would surely shock the Demon Sealing Imperial Family awake! Other Celestial Rainbow Archons would inevitably become more vigilant, making preemptive strikes to kill Archons much harder! "The combat objective has been achieved," I let out a long sigh, then asked, "What is the next course of action?" "Slaughter the city, naturally," Chi Long said grimly. "Otherwise, it will never quench the long-held hatred of my Blood Wolf Tribe." "Slaughter the city?" I was greatly alarmed.

Although I had heard of the Blood Wolf Legion's bloodthirsty madness, I was still shaken by Chi Long's vicious and resolute proposal. "You mean kill every person in the city?" "Correct," Chi Long stated sternly. "Kill every living soul, loot every piece of wealth and grain.

Only by doing this can we strike fear into the rest of the continent and shake the very foundations of the Demon Dragon Imperial Family." "Kill all, loot all." For a moment, I was almost stunned speechless. "Heavens, isn't this two parts of the Japanese Invading Forces' Three-All Policy? If you add burning it all, that would complete the set." "Kill all, burn all, loot all—the Three-All Policy." A strange, sharp glint flashed in Chi Long's darkened eyes as he burst out laughing. "The Prince speaks truly! From this day forward, where the Blood Wolves pass, life will cease to exist." Chi Long then addressed the surrounding generals: "All listen up! From this moment, the Blood Wolf Legion shall execute the Crown Prince's Three-All Policy: Burn All, Kill All, Loot All." "Burn All, Kill All, Loot All! Roar! Roar! Roar!" All the Blood Wolf Knights shouted wildly. ".............." I stared at Chi Long, dumbfounded.

What in the world did this guy just say? The Three-All Policy—weren't they already doing it? But now, it sounded like the leadership role for establishing this policy was being placed squarely on my shoulders. "Hahahaha, Burn All, Kill All, Loot All!" Chi Long ground his teeth. "That's right! What we can't take, we burn it all down! If we can't have it, we certainly won't leave it for them." "The Prince's strategy is indeed brilliant," Lan Bu said, his gaze towards me containing not only undisguised admiration but also deep fear. "........" It seemed that in their eyes, I was absolutely a heinous, ferocious devil! I felt a wry smile creeping onto my face, but then I remembered the fundamental purpose of coming to the Demon Sealing Continent—wasn't it to manufacture an atmosphere of terror? Fine! Since this heavy hat has been placed upon my head, I accept it.

From now on, I shall be the great demon that the people of the Demon Sealing Continent fear on sight! ***—Scaring people is what I do best!
