Across the vast plains, the horses' hooves thundered like an earthquake.
The heavens and earth trembled, and the endless snow waves on the plains moved accordingly, like ocean waves, rolling up thousands of layers.
As the army drew closer, one could see banners fluttering in the wind, an incomparably concentrated spirit soaring into the sky, and a murderous aura emanating from them.
This momentum is even greater than the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Yan before!
"Tuoba Han is here!"
"Unexpectedly, he actually trained 24,000 Four Symbols Dao Soldiers."
"Perhaps some of them are just filling in the blanks?"
Some people immediately suspected it, but then denied it as well.
After all, the selection process for this soldier is very rigorous; even the weakest among them is one in ten thousand.
"The Four Symbols Dao Army can form the Four Symbols Grand Formation. The power they unleash is terrifying. Even celestial beings would not be able to defeat such a terrifying army, would they?"
Looking at the terrifying army in the distance, an old soldier couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
In this world, ordinary soldiers are basically expendable as vanguards. The ones who truly play a role in war are the Dao soldiers. And in wars between dynasties, only high-grade Dao soldiers can play a key role.
The Great Xuan royal family has Xuanjia Dao soldiers, the Northern Liang King Yu Shenji has Tianlang Dao soldiers, and Murong Kuangxue's Fury Flame Army are all top-grade Dao soldiers, extremely precious. They are all selected from the most elite group of people in the army, and their daily food and drink alone cost a lot, so the whole country has to use its resources to train them.
These Four Symbols Dao Soldiers are also renowned, being an invincible army trained by the Heavenly God Sect.
It is said that the training method was found by the leader of the Heavenly God Sect from some ancient heritage.
They were once celestial soldiers of a lost divine dynasty, but due to the high difficulty of their training, they were simplified into Dao soldiers.
It was originally said that there were 12,000 people guarding the Heavenly God Sect's headquarters, but now no one expected that the Great Yan Dynasty had expanded its army to 24,000.
"The Great Yan region indeed has capable people; these people are definitely not just charlatans."
Jiang Yuanba was shaken when he saw this scene.
The Xuanjia Dao soldiers he led were renowned elite Dao soldiers of the Great Xuan Dynasty, and were rated as first-rank. Now, looking at them...
These four Daoist soldiers are subtly even stronger.
It is probably comparable to the elite cavalry of the Hegemon King in history. Although he has the training method for this kind of soldier, it is not something that can be done overnight.
"Perhaps I should accept the support of the Heavenly Saint Palace and the Chu family..."
Jiang Yuanba felt a deep sense of powerlessness and suddenly realized that he seemed to have become somewhat arrogant after receiving the inheritance, and that he was actually still too weak.
At that moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
This is a force of over 20,000 Dao soldiers. Their horses are fed with elixirs, and the soldiers are not only battle veterans but also well-versed in military strategy. They can perfectly follow orders. All these conditions combined make them incomparable to ordinary people.
This army possesses a strong military spirit; when they fight, they are incredibly brave and fierce. Once they charge, their spirits are united, making them invincible.
Even the most powerful experts at the peak of the Celestial Realm would have to avoid his sharp edge.
If this army had been sent out earlier, Liangzhou Pass would probably have been breached long ago.
It should be noted that the commander of this army was Tuoba Han, who had once killed many celestial beings.
He can be considered a legendary figure.
Originally just an illegitimate son of a nobleman of the Tuoba royal family, he was labeled as a bastard from a young age and suffered humiliation and abuse from other royal offspring!
But who could have imagined that this bastard, during the decades of power turmoil and change in the Tuoba royal family, followed no fewer than ten masters, constantly fighting and always surviving, fighting his way up from a lowly soldier charging into battle to earn a reputation for his prowess.
Later, he was highly valued by the ruler of the Great Yan Kingdom and recognized by the leader of the Heavenly God Sect. He received divine blessings, and his martial arts cultivation progressed rapidly. In the end, he killed his former master and became the King of Tuoba.
Now he is in charge of the guardian soldiers of the Heavenly God Sect. Such an experience is enough to make him a legendary figure, even if he were to be included in a storybook.
If such a being were to lead an army, probably few in the entire Great Xuan would dare to say they were guaranteed a victory, but everyone focused their attention on this earth-shattering battle.
One man against ten thousand Dao soldiers—only the Overlord had ever done such a battle before, but even then, it wasn't against these top-grade Dao soldiers.
"I never expected the Great Yan to be so powerful... Such an aura, it's fortunate that I broke through to the Celestial Realm."
Li Ming looked up and couldn't help but be amazed.
The attributes of this army also appeared before his eyes; each of them had remarkable attributes.
【Four Symbols Daoist Soldiers】
[Four Symbols Battle Formation (light purple), Divine Blessing (red), Unstoppable Force (red), Swift as Thunder (red), United as One (red), Iron-Blooded Army (blue), High Morale (cyan), Determined to Charge (cyan)]
【Four Symbols Battle Formation (Light Purple)】: 【A powerful battle formation composed of the Four Symbols Array Flags, a superior-grade pseudo-divine weapon, as its core. It can communicate with the power of the four symbols and summon the power of the four ancient spirits.】
【Divine Blessing (Red)】: 【Blessed by the Heavenly God Cult, immersed day and night in the Heavenly God Cult's wondrous Golden Holy Spring, its internal organs are as strong as metal, it can swallow metal to strengthen itself, its physique is extremely strong, and it can even exchange its lifespan for powerful combat strength.】
"This is probably the kind of army that every general in the world would want to lead."
"However, the current national strength of the Great Xuan is probably insufficient to supply this army."
Li Ming couldn't help but sigh.
In ordinary dynasties, only a religion like the Celestial Gods could control a country and support so many people with the full power of the nation.
Whew~
In the cold wind, Li Ming slowly exhaled, showing no intention of underestimating his opponent.
The divine weapon, the Heaven-Slaying Blade of Annihilation, also appeared in his hand, trembling slightly, as if excited for the upcoming battle.
At this moment, Li Ming's expression was calm, as if he were not on this battlefield of human hell, but had returned to the small courtyard where he used to practice his swordsmanship.
My heart is filled with only the thought of a knife; I cannot think of anything else.
For some reason, he gained a new understanding of swordsmanship.
Rumble!
The thunderous sound of hooves rang out, and in an instant, that terrifying army charged towards Li Ming with boundless dominance.
Meanwhile, several terrifying strange phenomena appeared in the sky.
A burst of azure light erupted from the army, transforming into an azure divine dragon with icy eyes and a body that seemed to stretch for thousands of miles, surrounded by lightning.
Endless radiance began to gather from the dragon's mouth, countless spiritual energies converged within it, and it exhaled with a single breath.
The howling wind destroyed everything.
The power of these Four Symbols Dao Soldiers has exceeded imagination. This power is far beyond what ordinary celestial beings can unleash. A single strike can trigger celestial phenomena and stir up the wind and clouds.
This is the source of Tuoba Han's confidence, and this is just the appetizer!
"I'd like to see how you handle this, kid!"
Tuoba Han sat in the center, muttering to himself.
To be honest, he was also shocked when he learned of Murong Kuangxue's death in battle.
Unexpectedly, the dignified Celestial Sage of War died so easily in battle, which also made him extremely wary of Li Ming.
At the same time, he hardened his heart and did everything in his power to kill his enemies.
Otherwise, I won't be able to eat or sleep properly!
But soon, he suddenly felt a wave of heat coming, and when he looked up, it seemed as if a great sun had fallen into the sky.
The terrifying light and heat erupted on the battlefield.
"Very well, I'll show you respect!"
Without any hesitation, Li Ming stretched out his arms, and with his ten fingers opening and closing, the power of his bloodline erupted to the extreme.
