Chapter 156: Arrogance Before the Storm
The sky above the border remained filled with suffocating pressure.Two massive armies stood facing one another, creating a scene capable of making anyone feel the chill of death.On one side stood the forces of the Jia Empire.On the other stretched the endless sea of soldiers belonging to the Ma Empire.The auras of millions of cultivators collided in the air, causing the clouds overhead to split apart and swirl violently.Emperor Ma stepped forward several paces.His golden robes fluttered fiercely in the wind.His eyes were filled with absolute confidence in victory.With a voice amplified by Qi until it shook both heaven and earth, he shouted,"Jia Huang! Even now, I am still willing to give you one final chance to save your empire from destruction! Kneel before me this instant, admit your mistake for rejecting the goodwill of the Ma Empire, and accept the marriage proposal between my daughter—ah, no—between my son and Princess Jia Xialan! If you do so now, perhaps I may still sh
Chapter 155: The Big Fish Has Arrived
Han Nian stood atop the border wall with both hands clasped behind his back. Fierce winds swept through the area, causing his black hair to flutter wildly while his eyes gazed far into the northern horizon.Suddenly, the corner of his lips lifted.He chuckled softly."Heh... they've finally arrived. It seems the big fish I've been waiting for has finally decided to leave its nest. I was beginning to worry they were too cowardly to show themselves after losing ten thousand soldiers, but it appears they still have a little pride left. Good. That means this journey won't be boring."His casual remark caused everyone nearby to turn toward him.Emperor Jia frowned.So did Hong Zhaoyang.Both immediately released their Spiritual Sense as far as possible.Yet after some time, they found nothing.Hong Zhaoyang even expanded his perception to a full hundred kilometers.Still nothing.There was no sign of the enemy.That only made the Azure Dragon Academy Headmaster's expression grow even more
Chapter 154: First Blood at the Border
The moment the enraged soldiers of the Ma Empire crossed into Jia Empire territory and charged toward Han Nian's group, Lin Yue moved without the slightest hesitation.Swoosh!The beautiful young woman transformed into a green blur streaking through the air. The sword in her hand flashed with a chilling light before sweeping forward.Slash!One Ma Empire soldier didn't even have time to react before his head flew into the sky.At the same moment, Su Mei made her move.Her expression remained as cold as ever.Yet every swing of her sword carried death.One slash.Two slashes.Three slashes.Bodies fell like grass before a harvesting blade.Han Tian burst into laughter as he drove his fist into the enemy ranks.Explosions echoed one after another.Every punch shattered bones and crushed the internal organs of anyone unfortunate enough to stand in its path.Zhang Wei didn't remain idle either.Although he was often the target of Han Nian's jokes, his strength was still at an exceptionall
Chapter 153: Provocation at the Border
The border between the Jia Empire and the Ma Empire stretched for dozens of kilometers. Both sides had established their camps approximately ten kilometers apart, forming a safety zone that neither side was supposed to cross without a clear reason.On one side stood the forces of the Jia Empire.On the other, the soldiers of the Ma Empire stood guard with strict vigilance.Although the atmosphere appeared calm, everyone knew that war could break out at any moment.Han Nian led his small group leisurely toward the border area.Behind him followed Han Tian, Zhang Wei, several selected young cultivators, and a few guards assigned to keep an eye on them from a distance.When they arrived near the border line, the soldiers of the Ma Empire immediately noticed their arrival.However, no one moved.No one spoke.They merely watched with faint smiles, as though observing a group of strange people who had wandered over without any purpose.Han Nian smiled as well.The more silent they remained
Chapter 152: Playing in Enemy Territory
Han Nian's suggestion about causing trouble in the territory of the Ma Empire instantly silenced the entire camp.The generals exchanged glances.The elders frowned.Even several sect leaders who had been sitting casually now wore serious expressions.They could not tell whether Han Nian was joking or if he truly had a plan.The first person to react was Emperor Jia.He stared at Han Nian for a long moment before finally speaking in a serious and thoughtful tone."Han Nian, what you just said sounds simple, but the consequences would be enormous. If we move first and attack the territory of the Ma Empire, wouldn't that make us the ones who started the war? At that point, they would have a legitimate reason to announce to the entire world that the Jia Empire was the aggressor. They could reverse the narrative and portray themselves as the victims."He paused before continuing."Not only would their citizens support the war wholeheartedly, but even some neutral empires might view our ac
Chapter 151: Stirring Up Trouble
Four days had passed since Han Nian secluded himself in the mountains far from the main camp of the Jia Empire's army.On the fourth day, the previously calm sky suddenly trembled.Bang!A muffled explosion echoed from Han Nian's body.The spiritual energy in the surrounding area immediately became chaotic, like a storm that had lost control. Powerful winds swept through the mountains, sending countless leaves flying in every direction.Han Tian, who had been standing guard from a distance all this time, immediately opened his eyes.His expression turned serious.Quickly rising to his feet, he turned toward the others.In a calm yet firm voice, he said, "Everyone, retreat several hundred meters. My younger brother has just achieved a breakthrough. The spiritual pressure he's releasing is not something to take lightly. If we stay here, it may affect your cultivation or even injure you if you're not prepared to withstand it. It's better to give him space until the process is complete."
