"Yuan, although I have some friction with General Jing, those are minor matters. When it comes to the future of our Earth Alliance, I will not act rashly out of spite. If you do not trust me, I can hand over the Yuan Zui Legion Seal to you for command!" Seeing Yuan frown, Jian said lightly.

"Heh, what kind of talk is that? At a time like this, how could I not trust you? Very well, then I'll trouble you to accompany me on this trip and wipe out their two great armies in one fell swoop!" Seeing the candid expression on Jian's face, Yuan smiled.

"If that's the case, then I'll go too. The little brats under my command haven't tasted the blood of those Immortals in a long time!" At this moment, the City Lord Ba, who had raised an objection earlier, also let out his rough voice and called out.

Yuan and Jian exchanged a look, both nodding. With the three of them taking action together, even if the Heavenly Alliance had some conspiracy left, ensuring their own safety would not be an issue. After all, they commanded the three most elite legions of the Earth Alliance.

Yuan Mie, Yuan Zui, Yuan Ba...

The other City Lords had no intention of vying for merit. If the three great experts of the Earth Alliance went, what if the Heavenly Alliance attacked directly?

The Earth Alliance always needed defenders, didn't it? Moreover, in Yuan's plan, the other major City Lords were to exert all their strength to break through the Heavenly Alliance's defense line. In case they encountered any trouble, they could retreat in an orderly manner. In this situation concerning the life and death of the Earth Alliance, no demon would take it lightly. The significant conflicts they once held had to be set aside at this moment, unless they wished to be utterly annihilated by the Heavenly Alliance...

The Yuan Mie, Yuan Zui, and Yuan Ba legions, under the command of the Three Fiends of the Earth Alliance, bypassed the Heavenly Soldier defense line and rushed towards Mount Hualuo.

Meanwhile, in the mountainous terrain of Mount Hualuo, Ye Jingyu, leading tens of thousands of Blood Demon Legion soldiers, was completely surrounded by the 300,000-strong army commanded by Liang Xiaoke. These 300,000 troops were Liang Xiaoke's direct forces. Thanks to some intelligence disclosed by Ye Jingyu recently, they had slain countless demons, and the confidence of every soldier was extremely inflated. Seeing the mere tens of thousands of the Blood Demon Legion, their eyes were filled with disdain. Such a small number of demons—did it require their commander to act personally?

Ye Jingyu was clad in a black martial uniform at the moment, his black hair tied back behind his head. Mounted on Ni Bo, he coldly observed Liang Xiaoke, who was riding a Qiongqi ahead.

Liang Xiaoke's face also held a chilling expression, his eyes brimming with murderous intent. However, his peripheral vision kept darting towards Jiufeng behind Ye Jingyu. At this moment, both Jiufeng and Xiyang had donned a set of armor, and their appearances had been altered. Riding Yingzhao, they looked quite cold...

Ye Jingyu's identity could not be exposed yet. If they remained right beside him, and if the Heavenly Alliance recognized them, Xuanyuan Jing would surely realize something. Therefore, they had no choice but to alter their looks. Although others couldn't recognize them, Liang Xiaoke identified them instantly.

Seeing Jiufeng and Xiyang standing there unharmed, Liang Xiaoke’s constantly worried heart finally settled. The moment he saw the Xuanyuan Water Control Banner, he knew Xuanyuan Jing must have found Jiufeng. He couldn't fathom what method Xuanyuan Jing used to snatch the Xuanyuan Water Control Banner from Dugu Bachen's sight. At that moment, Liang Xiaoke even entertained the thought of fighting Xuanyuan Jing to the death, but he understood that Xuanyuan Jing had already entered the Absolute Immortal Realm, making a confrontation impossible for him.

Furthermore, his plan with Ye Jingyu was not yet complete, and he absolutely could not reveal his identity at this juncture. He could only suppress the raging anger in his heart while forcing a facade of indifference, a feeling that was deeply agonizing.

Now, seeing Jiufeng unharmed and standing beside Ye Jingyu, his heart finally relaxed.

"You little bastard cub, I showed great mercy by letting you live that day. Not only did you fail to repay my kindness, but you actually betrayed humanity to side with these bloodthirsty demons! Are you even human anymore?!" Since his worries were assuaged, it was time to put on a good show, right? Liang Xiaoke opened his mouth wide and started cursing loudly...

Upon hearing Liang Xiaoke call Ye Jingyu a little bastard cub, Jiufeng and Xiyang standing behind him almost burst out laughing. Even Ni Bo and Xiao Taotao struggled to suppress their smiles.

Only Ye Jingyu's expression became incredibly grim. His anger and hatred, which were merely feigned moments before, were now entirely genuine—both furious and resentful.

Even if it was an act, even if he had to curse, couldn't he choose different words? Did he really have to call him a little bastard cub? Damn it, he had a son now, yet he was cursing his sworn brother as a little bastard cub in front of his own child. Couldn't he grant him a little face?

"Celestial Lord Liang, what do you take yourself for? You slaughtered my entire clan! If I hadn't been quick enough to escape back then, I would have been killed by you too. You actually have the nerve to claim you spared my life? You truly have the audacity to say that!" Ye Jingyu's already angry face flashed with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hmph, little bastard cub, what do you take yourself for? If I hadn't been merciful back then, do you think you could have escaped? Never mind, enough nonsense. Since you refuse to live well, and wish for me to send you to your death, then today I shall oblige!" As Liang Xiaoke's voice fell, he slapped the Qiongqi beneath him and charged directly toward Ye Jingyu.

Hearing Liang Xiaoke call him a little bastard cub again, Ye Jingyu grew even angrier. Does he really intend to give me no face today? He also gave Ni Bo a command and charged forward directly.

They were still hundreds of feet apart, yet their bodies simultaneously launched into the air, meeting mid-sky at the same moment, both swinging a fist.

Streams of golden light surged from Ye Jingyu's fist, and immense power continuously erupted, as if this single punch contained all the hatred he had accumulated over the years—as if he intended to completely obliterate the man who wiped out his family with this blow.

Liang Xiaoke also threw a full-power punch, and streams of dark ghostly light spewed forth from his fist, as if to make Ye Jingyu thoroughly understand that he was far from his match.

Without any fancy techniques, their fists collided heavily. Immediately, the void was shattered by the two of them, and black lightning bolts shot out from the fractured space. A massive roar followed, and both Ye Jingyu and Liang Xiaoke were sent flying backward simultaneously, amidst faint sounds of cracking bones... .C
