Chapter 152 On the verge of breaking outEmperor Ning glanced at Wei Cheng. The northern barbarians were mainly nomadic. When they were weak, they surrendered and paid tribute, but when they became stronger, they began to provoke the northern border of Da Ning, so Emperor Ning sent troops to suppress them. The barbaric tribes began to surrender when they could not win the battle and continued to pay tribute to Daning in the form of cattle, sheep and horses. And that group of people are naturally untrustworthy. They think that if they are strong, they will beat you, and if they can't beat you, they will surrender. This goes on and on, and it is really infuriating. "Pass on my order. The northern barbarians are untrustworthy. Anyone who crosses a horse's legs will be beheaded, and all young women will be taken back to Kyoto." "Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Cheng nodded repeatedly and handed the teacup in his hand over. Emperor Ning then took it and took a sip. At this time, a man in a purple brocade robe, who looked to be about thirty years old, walked quickly into the Daning Palace and went straight to the Ning Emperor's office study, where he happened to run into Wei Cheng. When Wei Cheng saw this, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness." The person who came was Ning Quan, the eldest prince of the Daning Dynasty. The Daning Dynasty had not yet appointed a crown prince, so Wei Chengcai called the eldest prince "Your Highness". Ning Quan was very calm, "Manager Wei is in such a hurry, but what's the good news?"

Wei Cheng smiled bitterly, moved closer to Ning Quan and whispered, "It's the Northern Barbarians' business again. Your Majesty is very upset. Let me pass a message to the Second Prince." "Northern Barbarians!" Ning Quan murmured, then waved his hand and said, "Go." "Your Highness, I'll take my leave." Wei Cheng slowly retreated. Ning Quan walked towards the study, holding the documents from the Demon-Suppressing Pass. "My son, I pay my respects to my father!" "Quan'er, you're here just in time..." Emperor Ning repeated what he had just told the Second Prince. Ning Quan heard this and said, "The people of the Northern Barbarians have always been untrustworthy and treacherous. They should either be punished or destroyed. Father's decision is already merciful." "Hahaha!" Emperor Ning couldn't help but laugh heartily when he heard this, and the depression in his heart was swept away. He asked, "Quan'er, what do you want to talk to me about?" "Father, this is a quick report from the Demon-Suppressing Pass. It should be news about the Demon-Suppressing Competition." Ning Quan said as he stepped forward and presented the document to Emperor Ning. When Emperor Ning heard that it was about the results of the Demon-Suppressing Competition, he immediately became interested and took the document from Ning Quan and opened it. Ning Quan stepped aside and looked at Emperor Ning quietly. "Chen Xian?" After a while, Emperor Ning, who was originally slightly excited, suddenly murmured. Hearing this name, Ning Quan asked curiously: "Father, who is Chen Xian?" Emperor Ning did not reply, but gave the document to Ning Quan. Ning Quan took it and took a quick look at it, his face full of surprise: "Chen Xian is first?" In this demon-suppressing competition, the first place winner was not from among the three kings, eight prefectures and sixteen marquises. Looking at Chen Xian's information again, he was from Fengyun County, Shiling Commandery, Fengtian Realm, and was of commoner origin.

Ning Quan was a little surprised: "This civilian is not simple!" Xiahou Feng, Hua Tianqi, Zeng Xiu, Tang Can and others were all pinned down by Chen Xian. The key point is Chen Xian’s performance in the team competition. He actually killed more than 40,000 demons and brought back 28,000 demon heads, including a demon lord. "It's not just difficult. No one has been able to kill the Demon Lord in previous years, right?" Emperor Ning said in a deep voice. For a commoner to have such ability, his talent and luck must be incredible. Ning Quan nodded and said, "Indeed not. The Demon Suppression Competition was originally held for fun and to give some people a chance. This year's Chen Xian is amazing. This shows that our Great Ning Dynasty has produced many talented people. Father should be happy." Emperor Ning frowned and said, "How can you make me happy? He killed Pang Hao and fought a life-and-death battle with Pang De. He is simply arrogant!" Ning Quan did see it, and he said, "Father, Marshal Xiahou said it very clearly. It was Pang Hao who broke the rules first. He used the Golden Face Yama to kill Chen Xian, but ended up being killed instead." "As for the life-and-death battle with Pang De, it was also forced. I heard that Pang De relied on his eight prefectures to disobey Marshal Xiahou's orders at Zhenyao Pass and even formed cliques. He should be punished." Hearing this, Emperor Ning gave Ning Quan a deep look, which made Ning Quan shudder all over. He lowered his head and said, "Your son has said too much!" Emperor Ning looked away but didn't say anything to Ning Quan, but he knew it clearly in his mind that although Xiahou Yu was appointed as the Grand Marshal at Zhenyao Pass by himself, he was also recommended by Ning Quan and would definitely speak for Xiahou Yu. "This is really embarrassing for Xiahou Yu!" Emperor Ning said calmly. Ning Quan heaved a sigh of relief and raised his head slightly and said, "Father, my fifth brother won the third place. What reward will you give him? And there are Xiahou Feng and Hua Tianqi..." Emperor Ning was still surprised that Ning Yan won the third place. His solemn expression eased a little and he said, "Tell Xiahou Yu that the top ten in the Demon Suppression Competition, in addition to promotion in rank, will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold, a Wind and Thunder Black Horse, a Golden Sun Divine Spear, and a Black Dragon Sword." "Okay, I will give Marshal Xiahou a reply right away." Ning Quan nodded with a smile. "Wait a moment." Emperor Ning called Ning Quan and said, "Xiahou Yu said that the Demon Dynasty has assembled an army of more than three million to attack the Demon Suppression Pass. With this number, they must be ready to fight with our Great Ning. Ask him how the battle is going and whether any powerful demon saints have appeared?" "Yes, Father. I will do it immediately." Ning Quan bowed, then turned and left. …… Northwest of Zhenyao Pass. Chen Xian, Bao Guanlong and 16,000 others divided the corpses of the demon-suppressing soldiers and the corpses of the demons in the middle and west into two groups. The corpses of the demon-suppressing soldiers were arranged neatly, while the corpses of the demons were piled together, reaching a height of 300 meters. The more than 3,000 demon-suppressing soldiers who were left behind were placed by Chen Xian in a quiet valley to recover from their injuries. Then 16,000 people began to clean up the battlefield in the middle east. There is strength in numbers. At noon, the bodies of all the soldiers who suppressed the demon were scattered in the east and west. The same is true for the corpses of demons. Chen Xian asked his men to set up camp at the original camp of the Five Demon-Suppressing Armies. Bao Guanlong had no objection because that place was a straight passage and if the demon army was defeated, they would surely flee back along a straight line. They are just waiting for the opportunity.

The most important thing is the location of the Five Demon-Suppressing Armies, which is only 500 miles away from the Demon-Suppressing Pass. Chen Xian and Bao Guanlong’s spiritual eyes can see the situation in front of the pass. Cang Mingyun led an army of three million demons and had already arrived thirty miles outside the Demon-Suppressing Pass. The demon army was arranged in an orderly manner from strong to weak. Those standing in the front are all powerful enough to be demons or above, a black mass of 300,000 people, and behind them are million big demons, small demons, and monsters. In front of the Demon-Suppressing Pass. The retreating Seventh Demon-Suppressing Army had 50,000 men, the Sixth Demon-Suppressing Army had 85,000 men, the Fifth Demon-Suppressing Army had 100,000 men, the Eighth Demon-Suppressing Army had 35,000 men, the Fourth Demon-Suppressing Army had 100,000 men, and the Tenth Demon-Suppressing Army had 32,000 men. Four hundred thousand people in total. There are three armies inside the pass, all ready to go, totaling 700,000 troops. Xiahou Yu was seriously injured. When the demon army arrived at the pass, he could not continue to recuperate. So he went to the tower of Zhenyao Pass to command the battle. "Marshal Xiahou seems to be injured?" In the tent, Chen Xian frowned slightly. Bao Guanlong frowned and said, "The Grand Marshal and the Demon Saint fought hard and both were injured. The Demon Saint should be within a thousand miles. We have to be careful." Upon hearing this, Chen Xian's face changed slightly. The Grand Marshal was a powerful figure in the All-Seeing Realm, but he was actually injured. It seemed that the Demon Saint was also very powerful. His spiritual eyes scanned the south for 800 miles, but he didn't find any demonic figures. "Can the Grand Marshal still make a move?" "I'm afraid I can't!" Bao Guanlong shook his head. Chen Xian remained silent. He originally thought that the Grand Marshal was inside the pass, a powerful man in the All-Seeing Realm, leading the three armies to fight against the army of demons. Even if those children of the powerful died, the Grand Marshal would be fine. Now it seems that the Grand Marshal is in great danger. There are not many people inside the pass who are worthy of his rescue, only Ning Yan, Xiahou Feng, Zeng Xiu, and Cai Hong. He dislikes everyone else. "The Grand Marshal was seriously injured, so doesn't that mean the Demon Saint is also seriously injured?" he asked. Bao Guanlong nodded: "The demon saint was indeed seriously injured, but it is unclear how much combat power he still has. However, we can tell by looking at the situation of the Grand Marshal." Chen Xian nodded, and continued to stare at the gate with his sharp eyes. Cang Mingyun stood on a warship floating in the air. The warship was very large and could accommodate hundreds of people. It was obviously a treasure at first glance. Cang Mingjin was also there, and beside him were three burly demon lords who were over five meters tall. Each of them had an extremely powerful aura. In addition, there were twenty-three powerful demon lords standing by. Including Cang Mingyun, there are twenty-four demon lords. There are over a thousand demon emperors and demon kings on the ground, and the number of demon lords and demon men reaches 300,000. It is considered the top force in the demon army. The other monsters are huge in number and form a dark mass, giving people an extremely depressing feeling. Chen Xianling's eyes fell on the 400,000 demon-suppressing soldiers in front of the pass. Their faces were full of fatigue, and even half of them were injured, but their eyes were full of fighting spirit. They have been fighting with the Daning Dynasty for five hundred years, and this is not the first time that they have reached the Demon-Suppressing Pass. He even tried to break through the Demon-Suppressing Pass seven times, but was finally stopped by strong men from the Daning Dynasty and had to retreat back outside the pass.

This time, Cang Mingyun is confident that he can break through the Demon-Suppressing Pass again and make the human race fearful. "Xiahou Yu, why are you pretending to be here standing at the pass?" Cang Mingyun stood on the bow of the ship, staring at Xiahou Yu on the city wall and spoke coldly. Xiahou Yu held the hilt of the knife in front of him with both hands, and stared at Cang Mingyun with deep eyes: "As long as I am here, you demons will never get through this pass." "Hahaha... Xiahou Yu, you don't have to hold on. You are seriously injured. I'm afraid you can't even defeat this prince." Cang Mingyun laughed sarcastically. Upon hearing this, the 400,000 troops in front of the pass all showed anger. However, the 300,000 troops inside the pass were laughing secretly. The Sixth Prince Ning Hong, wearing silver armor, sneered, "Xiahou Yu has come to this day. This is really making me laugh to death." The eighth prince Ning Xuan also sneered. On the other hand, Prince Anhuai said coldly, "Has that bastard Chen Xian arrived at the pass?" Gu Daiming took a step forward and said coldly, "My Lord, no." Prince An Huai clenched his fists and said, "That bastard, everyone is gathering in front of the pass to fight the demons, but he is hiding?" There was only coldness in Gu Daiming's eyes. That time, after being tricked by Chen Xian and knocked unconscious by him, he wanted to kill Chen Xian. "Your Highness, don't be angry. It won't be too late to deal with him after this battle." Gu Daiming said. Ever since the life-and-death battle between Chen Xian and Pang De, the demon army has begun to attack the Demon-Suppressing Pass. Except for those inside the pass, people outside the pass are also fighting bloody battles. There was no chance to cause trouble for Chen Xian, so he could only wait until the war settled down a little. At this time, Xiahou Yu's voice came from the tower of Zhenyao Pass: "Cang Mingyun, you can come and try to see if I can kill you with one blow." On the warship, Cang Mingyun laughed loudly and said, "Xiahou Yu, do you think this prince is stupid? My dynasty has 3 million troops approaching the city. Will this prince fight with you?" He immediately looked at the Dragon Python Great Venerable behind him and said, "Get ready." The Great Dragon Python commanded millions of demons, and behind him were seven powerful demon lords. He immediately ordered three demon lords to lead millions of demons to kill the 400,000 remaining troops in front of the pass. "kill!" Xiahou Yu didn't waste any words and immediately ordered the 400,000 troops in front of the pass to attack. The war is about to start. Generals such as Pei Qingshan, Deng Yu, Xu Jing, and Li Tianfang all took action to kill the three demon lords. Soon, four powerful demon lords flew out from behind the Great Dragon Python. buzzing... Before the millions of demons could rush to the 400,000-strong army, they threw their weapons out and smashed towards the 400,000-strong army like locusts. This wave of attacks caused great damage to the human soldiers who were suppressing demons. Half of the people were already injured, and half of them were seriously injured. Even if they blocked the weapons that were thrown at them, they were still hit hard and could hardly fight.

Those who were slightly injured were also seriously injured. It looks like an army of 400,000, but there are only 200,000 people who can actually fight. Xiahou Yu, standing on the city wall, remained calm despite the 200,000 people who had lost their combat effectiveness. Until a million demons and two hundred thousand soldiers were fighting each other, Xiong Baishan beside him said, "Attack." The three armies inside the pass are the ones that can really fight, and their lowest cultivation level is the Chongyuan realm. "Black Dragon attacks!" Following Xiong Baishan's loud shout, the general who commanded the Black Dragon Army inside the pass showed an unwilling expression on his face. After exchanging a glance with the Eighth Prince, he led 100,000 Black Dragon Army and rushed out of the Demon-Suppressing Pass like a black dragon, killing towards the millions of demons. "Black Dragon Army?" Outside the warship, Cang Mingyun narrowed his eyes slightly. Having fought against the Daning Dynasty for so many years, how could he not know about the Black Dragon Army. Although the Black Dragon Army is powerful, they have been pampered and have only a short-lived momentum. Once they are defeated, their fighting power will instantly decline. He looked towards the Great Lord Dragon Python. The Great Dragon Python understood and personally led the Demon Emperor, Demon King, Demon Lord, and demon men to attack the 100,000 elite demons. boom! The Great Lord Dragon Python personally fought against the Black Dragon Army general, who had the strength of the eighth level of Tiangang and a normal combat power of 550 million. The two fought fiercely and were evenly matched. The Great Dragon Python roared and revealed his true form. The Black Dragon General was not to be outdone and displayed the Tian Gang state, which increased his combat power tenfold, almost matching the combat power of the Great Dragon Python. The 100,000-strong Black Dragon Army collided fiercely with the 100,000-strong army of demon kings, demon lords, and demons led by the Demon Emperor. At the beginning, the Black Dragon Army was very brave, but they could not hold out for more than a quarter of an hour before they were defeated. Seeing this, Chen Xian shook his head secretly. The Black Dragon Army was indeed brave at the beginning, but they lacked endurance and, most importantly, bloodiness. The reason was simple: they had been living a life of luxury for years, so how could they have the strong combat endurance of the front army? However, the front army also has disadvantages. They have strong combat endurance, but their overall combat effectiveness is not strong, which is mainly due to their cultivation problems. “General Bao, your right arm...!?” Chen Xian turned and looked at Bao Guanlong.
