On the battlefield, corpses lay strewn everywhere, and blood stained the earth red.
Countless corpses piled up together, creating a horrific scene.
The Nine Netherworlds and the Iron Flame Army engaged in a protracted battle of attack and defense around the Yellow Springs Pass.
As the most important passage connecting the two realms, whoever controls the Yellow Springs Pass will be able to dominate the fate of the Nine Realms.
Above the gates of the underworld, dark clouds gathered and a chilling wind howled.
Occasionally, a few streaks of lightning would rip through the night sky, illuminating the figures of soldiers on both sides.
On both banks of the Yellow Springs, mountains of corpses lay piled up, including the remains of the Netherworld and the soldiers of the Iron Flame Army.
Their blood stained the waters of the underworld, filling the entire entrance to the underworld with a strong aura of death.
For a full year, relying on their unwavering will, the Iron Flame Army repelled the Nine Netherworlds' frenzied attacks time and time again, preventing them from even taking a single step across the Yellow Springs Pass.
On the other hand, as time went by, after suffering heavy casualties, the morale of the army in Jiuyou was no longer as high as it had been when they first arrived.
From that moment on, the war situation began to subtly change.
Shen Zhao stood atop the Yellow Springs Pass, his eyes cold, looking down at the hellish battlefield.
Behind him, Bai Qi bowed and awaited orders.
After a long while, Shen Zhao finally spoke, asking, "Is there still no news from Chang'an?"
Bai Qi: "Reporting to Commander Shen, I have already sent seven battle reports to Chang'an, but so far I have not received any reply from the court. Could it be that..."
After a pause, Bai Qi glanced at the calm expression on Shen Zhao's face before continuing, "I believe that the battle report sent to Chang'an may have been intercepted, and His Majesty did not see it..."
Shen Zhao put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes, and sighed softly.
Yu Xiyan didn't see the battle report?
The probability is almost negative.
The only explanation is that Yu Xiyan didn't care about the Yellow Springs Gate at all; she cared about the life and death of the entire Iron Flame Army.
He knew that while the Po Jun Mansion had made great contributions to the Yin Tian Dynasty, it had also become a thorn in the side of the imperial authority.
Given Yu Xiyan's growing dislike for her over the years, she is very likely trying to use this opportunity to weaken the Po Jun Mansion's power in order to solidify her current position.
but……
You shouldn't be using these imperial techniques at a time like this!
"General Bai Qi, order the Daredevil Squad to join me tonight in attacking the Nine Nether Camp!"
"What! Attack the Nine Nether Camp?" Bai Qi exclaimed in shock. "Commander Chen, although the enemy's morale is low, now is definitely not the time to launch a preemptive strike."
In my opinion, it is precisely at times like these that we should strengthen our defenses and wait for Jiuyou to tire himself out.
In this way, once the enemy's morale collapses and they realize they cannot conquer the Yellow Springs Pass, they will surely retreat, thus averting the calamity of the Nine Netherworlds.
Shen Zhao shook his head: "General Bai Qi, you've misunderstood something."
Bai Qi was taken aback: "Please enlighten me, Commander Shen."
Shen Zhao: "This battle was never a defensive battle, but a war of annihilation. To put it more deeply, it was a war of annihilation."
"What!"
Bai Qi was shocked, never expecting that Shen Zhao's ambition was so great.
"From the very beginning, my goal was not to defeat the Nine Netherworlds, but to completely eradicate this cruel race that has plagued the Nine Realms for tens of thousands of years!"
...
Seeing Shen Zhao clench his fists in the video, looking determined to win, the two women fell silent, a rare occurrence for them.
The scene shifts again, and they find themselves amidst a sea of fire.
...
The raging fire, like a divine punishment, engulfed and enveloped all living things on the entire land.
Amidst the raging flames, Shen Zhao, wielding a military knife, resembled a grim reaper descended from hell, leaving behind only ruins in his wake.
Behind him, five thousand brave soldiers of the Iron Flame Army fought to the death, carving a bloody path through the sea of fire.
"Don't let a single one escape, kill them!"
A Nine Netherworld officer roared and brandished his evil-looking butcher's knife, lunging at Shen Zhao.
However, in the blink of an eye, his head was severed from his shoulder and fell into the sea of fire that engulfed the area.
Suddenly, a gigantic palm, hundreds of feet long, descended from mid-air, its target aimed directly at Shen Zhao's head.
"Um?"
After a moment of hesitation, Shen Zhao decisively swung his sword to block.
Amidst the roar, a trace of crimson blood ran down Shen Zhao's lips.
The aftershocks of the palm strike swept across the battlefield, scattering the Iron Flame Army soldiers who were fighting fiercely.
The next moment, a powerful voice resounded in the void.
"You're the commander of this army? Very well, after dealing with you for a year..."
Now, all I need to do is kill you, and my Nine Nether Army's path to domination will be unimpeded!
The Asura Emperor landed with overwhelming power.
In an instant, the earth seemed unable to withstand this overwhelming pressure and began to crack and shake.
Shen Zhao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face indifferent.
"Asura Emperor, the number one person below the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Mortal, I grant you permission to leave your name behind, and then die with resentment!"
"Then remember this! Shen Zhao of the Po Jun Mansion is a name you will never forget in the Nine Netherworlds!"
"Oh? Shen Zhao! Empress Yintian's husband, hahaha, that's wonderful."
The Asura Emperor was filled with excitement. He clenched his fist, and lightning and thunder immediately followed.
"After you die, I will turn everything of the Yintian Dynasty into my Nine Netherworld spoils."
Even your beautiful empress wife will eventually become a courtesan in my Nine Netherworld army; I believe that day is not far off!
"Is that so?" Shen Zhao's eyes turned cold, he brandished his military knife, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips: "Shen Zhao stands here, what can you take away?"
"Arrogant! How dare ants defy the heavens! Then let me see what means this so-called Immortal Martial God of War has to stop my million-strong Netherworld tidal wave attack."
