Great sword immortal!
Yu Xiyi gritted his teeth, his figure swaying as he spat out a mouthful of blood, and shouted, "Go!"
The sword qi that scattered all over the land suddenly converged towards the center of heaven and earth at this moment, forming a sharp sword that was about to take shape!
A massive sword, unparalleled in the world, suddenly appeared in the world. Countless sharp sword qi emerged around the giant sword, cutting through the fabric of space.
The great demon that had manifested its dharma idol showed a serious expression. However, after a moment of hesitation, it chose not to escape. Instead, it threw a punch toward the giant sword!
Yu Xiyi positioned his hands in front of his chest and forcefully retreated!
At the same time, the giant sword slowly moved forward.
It got faster and faster!
Yu Xiyi saw the giant sword speeding up, and he became lost in thought, with a face filled with yearning.
This was the grandeur of a great sword immortal!
The northward journey of the two hundred thousand cavalry army was not without obstacles. Although the demon race had received orders from the Demon Emperor and was unwilling to participate in the great battle before the two monarchs determined the victor, they had long harbored the intention of preventing the Great Liang Emperor from heading south. Therefore, several demon cavalry units were deployed along the path that the Great Liang Emperor must take when traveling southward.
If the Great Liang Emperor was lucky enough to survive and chose to return south to the Great Liang, these demons would completely cut off the possibility of him returning south.
The High Priest of the demon race and a high-ranking demon general stood side by side on a small hill, looking at the demon army on the vast plain who were waiting in full battle-array.
The High Priest suddenly lamented, "This human monarch is rather formidable. He has been in a deadlock with His Majesty for these days. I'm afraid among the emperors of the human race over the past thousand years, he can be ranked first."
The high-ranking demon general recalled the heroic feat of the Great Liang Emperor passing through the demon army, feeling a lingering fear as he said, "Humans should not have such a powerful monarch reign!"
He was extremely firm in his belief that such a formidable figure must not be allowed to leave the desolate north and return to the Great Liang.
The High Priest smiled and said, "The Great Liang Dynasty has only been established for two hundred over years. I initially thought that the previous emperors of Great Liang were already outstanding enough, but they are virtually not worth mentioning in front of this one. I just regret that I didn't pressure His Majesty back then at the risk of my head. We should have deployed troops during the internal strife of the human race. Then, this person wouldn't have ascended the throne, and the Great Liang Dynasty would not have become so powerful."
The high-ranking demon general's emerald eyes were full of regret as he said, "No one could have imagined that in just over a decade, the northern frontier of the human race would become so fortified. Fortunately, that Great General will be dying of old age soon."
Indeed, the human race had many advantages, but there were also drawbacks, such as their lifespan, which was much shorter compared to the demon race.
If the lifespan of that Northern Frontier Great General were placed in the demon race, he would probably still be considered in the prime of life. How could he be dying of old age?
The High Priest was about to speak when he felt the small hill beneath his feet inexplicably shaking. He raised his eyebrows and looked forward.
At the end of his sight, a densely packed cavalry army was galloping towards them.
The demon general suddenly straightened his body, his expression becoming serious, "What is this?"
The High Priest quickly realized and said, "It's the human race's cavalry."
"How dare they venture so deep into the desolate north? Are they seeking death?!"
The demon general was extremely shocked. In these years, although humanity's situation had improved significantly compared to the past, when had they ever taken the initiative to send troops into the desolate north?
But what about the cavalry at the end of their line of sight right now?
The High Priest chuckled self-deprecatingly, "A first time for everything. The ambitions of the human race really can't be suppressed anymore?"
The demon general laughed coldly, "So what? Do they think they can compete with our race on this plain?"
As he spoke, the sound of horns began to echo.
The demon army quickly organized its formation, and every demon's face showed some fervor as they looked over.
On the desolate north plains covered with white snow, a mass of dark shadow was rapidly approaching from the distance.
Between heaven and earth, the sound of hoofbeats echoed.
The High Priest said softly, "At this point, I have no choice but to believe that these humans from our south are truly different from those in the past."
On the banks of the Onan River.
The two monarchs had been fighting fiercely for a long time.
The Great Liang Emperor's emperor robe had many places torn, and even his complexion had become extremely pale.
Undoubtedly, this human monarch had already suffered severe injuries.
However, the situation of the Demon Emperor standing by the riverbank was not much better. His robe was also tattered everywhere, and there were even some bruises on his forehead.
The two stopped temporarily, standing on either side of the Onan River, staring at each other. Just like before, the Great Liang Emperor could not cross the Onan River to reach the other side, and the Demon Emperor could not repel the Great Liang Emperor either.
The two maintained a standoff.
At this moment, both were adjusting their breathing, preparing for the next round of exchange.
"We truly have to admire you. There's probably no second person in the world who can fight with Us for such a long time." The Demon Emperor looked at the Great Liang Emperor. His eyes were actually erect and upside down at this moment, looking very bizarre, but still exuded the demeanor of a king; not to be underestimated.
The Great Liang Emperor's face was pale, his imperial robe tattered, and the hair on his temples had turned much whiter. However, at this moment, he still showed no signs of weakening.
He resembled an old yet indomitable warrior, his aura was still at its peak.
"You're the archenemy of the human race. We truly want to kill you here."
Although the Great Liang Emperor stood opposite the Demon Emperor, his gaze was fixed on the majestic city in the distance beyond the Onan River. Although only vaguely visible, it was enough.
If he killed the Demon Emperor and continued north, the Great Liang Emperor might be able to reach that capital city. However, entering it would be an impossible feat.
As for something like killing the Demon Emperor, he only had 20% to 30% confidence.
"Although you're very strong, but compared to Us, you're still somewhat lacking. Moreover, you're already old. Before long, you'll fall further and further behind Us." The Demon Emperor said to the Great Liang Emperor, speaking calmly. Although he held respect for the Great Liang Emperor, he remained extremely confident because he really was still very young. According to the age of demons, he was younger than the Great Liang Emperor.
The Great Liang Emperor stood with hands behind his back. "According to what you mean, should We disregard everything and kill you right now? Only then, would it make this journey worthwhile?"
The Demon Emperor smiled and said, "If you think you have the ability, We would have died long ago. How could We still be here talking to you?"
The Great Liang Emperor said, "It's also challenging for you to kill Us. At least the price is something you're unwilling to bear. The demon race is the same as the human race, there's no simple right or wrong. If you want to suppress the demon region, you must be powerful."
The Demon Emperor said indifferently, "And what about you? How many people in the Divine Capital are hoping for you to die in the Northern Frontier? How many people don't want you to return?"
The Great Liang Emperor remained silent and indifferent.
Several minutes later, the two locked eyes.
Then their figures disappeared from sight, and thunderous sounds echoed throughout heaven and earth.
Space was collapsing here one after another, and terrifying auras appeared between heaven and earth.
This was another round of fighting between the two monarchs. Although they exchanged many words and held mutual respect, neither of them was willing to let go of the opportunity to kill the other.
The two figures continued to appear and disappear between heaven and earth.
Finally, the two appeared in the river water, each throwing a punch.
Their fists collided, and a terrifying shockwave instantly dispersed in all directions. The Onan River exploded at this moment, countless terrifying auras scattering everywhere. The river water surged towards the sky, forming two water curtains!
