At Prince Ann's avatar's command, a tremendous roar erupted as the army of 180,000 charged at Huang Ce.

"Hmph, just a bunch of cannon fodder!" Huang Ce faced the hundred thousand troops charging towards him, hands behind his back, unperturbed, and scoffed.

The Imperial Guards moved forward without orders, silently blocking Huang Ce's front.

The 3,000 Imperial Guards could hardly withstand the overwhelming force of tens of thousands of troops. The rebel army surged like a tide, surrounding Huang Ce and his few personal guards.

The rebels were everywhere, surrounding them from all directions, layer upon layer, impenetrable.

A squad of rebels at the forefront rushed directly at Huang Ce.

Huang Ce's personal guards moved to block them, but another rebel squad attacked from behind. Huang Ce suddenly turned, waved his sleeve, and with a gust of wind, sent the rebels flying back.

After repelling the rebels, Huang Ce elevated himself, standing above the troops, his voice thunderous as he declared:

"I don't want to kill you; you are soldiers of my Empire. I know you have been misled by Ann Guochu, and you have no choice. If you change your mind now and defect against Ann Guochu, I can forgive you and spare your lives!"

But the rebels ignored Huang Ce's words, charging blindly like headless flies.

It's not easy for a country to raise its army. Naturally, Huang Ce did not want to harm them. However, seeing their stubbornness, willing to fight for Ann Guochu without fear of death, he became furious, waved his sleeve, and with a surge of Dragon Qi, a violent wind arose, sweeping up the approaching rebels and making them vanish without a trace.

Ann Guochu's avatar led five Half-Step Immortal Kings and over twenty Immortal Sages to attack, intending to encircle and kill Huang Ce.

While Huang Ce could show leniency to the rebels, he certainly would not be merciful to Ann Guochu's avatar and his personal guards. With a wave of his right hand, Dragon Qi rolled forth, condensing into the shape of a True Dragon,

The dragon roared and charged out, its form quickly solidifying and elongating... eventually becoming a dragon over a hundred meters long, coiling around Huang Ce, circling him continuously, with its head hovering overhead, its eyes vigilant and alert.

The dragon coiled around Huang Ce for defense, with its head above for offense. Though the spell technique appeared nonchalant, it held latent power, adept in both attack and defense.

Ann Guochu's avatar opened and closed his hands, Elephant Qi rolling, condensing into a tiger shadow. Once formed, the tiger shadow roared into a solid entity, pouncing fiercely at Huang Ce,

The dragon head that hovered above Huang Ce rushed down with a roar, baring its claws to meet the tiger shadow.

In the next moment…

Boom!!

The dragon head collided with the tiger shadow, scattering the tiger shadow in a tremendous disarray. The outcome was clear.

At this moment, five other Half-Step Immortal King's rebels, each wielding nine Divine Weapons, charged at Huang Ce from all directions.

The dragon coiling around Huang Ce lashed out, like a massive whip, sending the five strongmen flying.

"Hmph, with only this measly power, you dare rebel against me!" Huang Ce sneered, then decisively launched an attack. With a wave of his hand gesture, the True Dragon's eyes suddenly widened, emitting red light that shot towards Prince Ann's avatar.

Prince Ann's avatar condensed an Elephant Qi shield to block, but when the red light struck, it pierced the shield with a ding, hitting Prince Ann's avatar's chest.

Ah!

Prince Ann's avatar cried out in pain, two lines of blood sprayed from his chest, and his body was sent flying.

As Huang Ce was tormenting Prince Ann's avatar and the Half-Step Immortal King rebels, the 180,000 rebel army, relying on their numerical advantage, crushed the 3,000 Imperial Guards. Although the Guards were slightly superior in cultivation base, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of rebels and retreated repeatedly, many of them wounded, and some tragically killed.

Suddenly…

From the direction of Dragon City Plaza, a force of over ten thousand soldiers surged forward, arranged in formation, charging fiercely at the 180,000 strong army.

This force was the 17,000 troops stationed at Dragon City Plaza by Wang Xiaoqiang.

Now, these 17,000 troops formed a Myriad Circle Spirit Formation and seven Thousand-Position Spirit Formations. The seven formations protected the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation, and under Wang Xiaoqiang's lead, they charged fiercely into battle.

In the main position of the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation, ten soldiers at the Immortal King Level were summoned, and each of the seven Thousand-Position Spirit Formations summoned one soldier at the Immortal King Level. In total, the formations amounted to seventeen Immortal King Level soldiers. The eight formations coordinated, moving in unison to launch a merciless annihilation of the 180,000 rebels.

Though the rebel army numbered 180,000, they were nearly powerless against the onslaught of the Spirit Formation and were killed one after another.

Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing Huang Ce tormenting Prince Ann's avatar as if playing a game, was momentarily stunned. Using his Divine Sense, he realized it wasn't Prince Ann but one of his avatars. The avatar was no match for the main body.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang charged forward, retrieving his War God Hammer and aiming for Prince Ann's avatar from behind. Having never fought an Immortal King Level cultivator before, he decided to practice on this avatar.

Boom!

Wang Xiaoqiang swung his hammer, creating an explosive air blast that hurled Prince Ann's avatar away. Although the avatar didn't directly take the hammer's blow, the pressure from the War God Hammer's blast seriously injured him, making him taste blood at the back of his throat.

In his retreat, he glared at Wang Xiaoqiang with a momentary flash of anger. His hands brimming with Elephant Qi, despite his injuries, he condensed a tiger shadow, which roared into a solid form and charged at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Immortal King Stage, Qi Condensation into Shape.

Elephant, not meaning the animal, but referring to shape.

Elephant Qi could transform into myriad fierce beasts for attack, one level superior to the Immortal Sage's Divine Weapon, with great power, far beyond what an Immortal Sage could contend.

Prince Ann was at the Nine Elephant Realm of the Immortal King, capable of condensing nine tiger forms, demonstrating formidable strength, but this was just an avatar.

The avatar's strength was far weaker than that of the main body and had just been toyed with by Huang Ce, consuming much of its Elephant Qi and significantly weakening its power.

Even so, the tiger it condensed was extremely formidable, far beyond Wang Xiaoqiang's level to resist directly.

Seeing the tiger shadow formed by Elephant Qi, Wang Xiaoqiang dared not confront it head-on and dodged aside.

However, the tiger shadow seemed to possess its own Spirit, relentless in its pursuit of Wang Xiaoqiang.

If he continued to flee, it would appear somewhat disgraceful, so Wang Xiaoqiang resolved not to escape further. He decided to confront the Immortal King Realm's tiger shadow with his War God Hammer.

Having made up his mind, his courage surged, and he suddenly turned, standing firmly, watching intently as the tiger shadow charged forth.

"Little Qiang, dodge if you must!" Huang Ce, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang stop dodging, felt a twinge of concern and couldn't help but shout a reminder.

Wang Xiaoqiang ignored it, remaining unmoved. As the tiger shadow, claws bared, lunged at him, he took a deep breath, raised the War God Hammer overhead with all his strength, and swung it down.
