Boom!!!

With a deafening roar, the War God Hammer smashed into the head of the tiger silhouette, shattering it completely!

As the head of the tiger silhouette shattered, its entire body followed suit.

The pseudo-tiger at the Immortal King Stage not only failed to cause any harm to Wang Xiaoqiang but was also crushed with a single hammer blow by him.

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

Prince Ann's avatar was utterly shocked, even Huang Ce was left staring in disbelief before a satisfied smile crept onto his face.

Only Wang Xiaoqiang knew that although he was unharmed, this blow nearly drained all of his Spiritual Power, and if not for the Golden Shell shield, he would have been seriously injured from the countershock.

If Prince Ann's avatar were to unleash another pseudo-tiger attack, he would have no strength left to resist.

Despite his inner apprehensions, he maintained an indifferent facade, sneering disdainfully at Prince Ann's avatar, saying, "Immortal King, is that all there is?"

Prince Ann's avatar, not being the true body of Prince Ann, did not have strong willpower or accurate combat analysis. Hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's words made Prince Ann's avatar think Wang Xiaoqiang still had the power to fight, and he squinted his eyes, saying, "Kid, I always thought you were a bit of a Demon Spawn, but I never imagined you could be so formidable!!"

Having said that, Prince Ann's avatar harbored thoughts of retreat. With a flick of his sleeves, he took off into the distant sky, loudly commanding "Retreat!"

As his voice echoed, the Rebel Army under his command began to retreat en masse, like a receding tide.

"Want to escape? No way!"

Huang Ce's eyes gleamed as he pointed at Prince Ann's avatar, prompting the True Dragon circling him to unleash a mighty roar, then charged at Prince Ann's avatar like a bolt of lightning, wrapping him up in an instant.

Under the constriction of the dragon's body, Prince Ann's avatar's bones snapped incessantly, his skin burst open, blood splattering everywhere as he howled in pain and despair…

The True Dragon's head dove down, jaws wide, swallowing him whole.

As Prince Ann's avatar was swallowed by the True Dragon, the true body of Prince Ann, who had fled with his family and followers thousands of miles away, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

A fallen avatar means the true body suffers backlash.

Ann Guochu dispatched his first avatar with 180,000 troops to attack Dragon City in order to distract Huang Ce, while advancing to seize the strategic land of Yue.

Yue Land is a vital area of the Empire, and a must-contend place for the Strategist Family.

Yue Land has ten colossal Wall Formations.

The so-called "Wall Formation" is a formation in which city walls serve as the structure. These ten Wall Formations were incredibly vast, encircling like a circular Great Wall, almost encompassing the entire Yue Land.

King Ann had mastered the technique to activate the Wall Formations, which was the main reason he dared to revolt.

...

Seeing Prince Ann's avatar meet his end, Wang Xiaoqiang took out the Spirit Fixing Disk and tossed it skyward. The disk expanded in the wind, growing to the size of a canopy, casting down a curtain of light.

The curtain of light grew larger and larger, eventually becoming a circle with a radius of 500 meters, encompassing all the fleeing Rebel Army.

The Spirit Fixing Disk, though powerful, could not cope with the sheer number of the Rebel Army. Seeing themselves trapped by this strange curtain, tens of thousands of rebels struggled desperately, crashing into the light curtain like headless flies.

As tens of thousands tried to break through simultaneously, the Spirit Fixing Disk wobbled, the light curtain quivered, unable to hold all the raiders in place.

Soon, Rebels with strong Cultivation Base broke through the curtain and escaped.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang took flight and issued orders to the eight Ring Spirit Formations with a voice as potent as thunder, "Surround them for me, kill anyone who escapes the curtain, don't let a single one get away."

With Wang Xiaoqiang's command, the eight Ring Spirit Formations roared into motion, spreading out to encircle the tens of thousands of rebel troops.

Any rebel who escaped the curtain would be mercilessly killed by the Ring Spirit Formations.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…

These formations were like colossal meat grinders, any rebel escaping the disk's light curtain was immediately reduced to shreds, blood splattering about—grisly in the extreme.

Seeing this, the rebels within the curtain were seized with fear, gradually calming down, ceasing their attempts to break out.

The few followers of Prince Ann's avatar, the other twenty-some Immortal Sage experts, fled in panic at the sight, while Wang Xiaoqiang pulled out the Sun-Shooting Bow and fired in rapid succession at them.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Ultimately, seven were shot dead on the spot, with the remainder flying off into the distance.

Wang Xiaoqiang was about to give chase when Huang Ce stopped him, saying, "Little Qiang, do not chase a desperate enemy."

Thus ended this rebellion,

The rebel leader, Prince Ann's avatar, was subdued by Huang Ce, and tens of thousands of Rebel Army were trapped under the Spirit Fixing Disk.

"Haha, with this massive army, can't imagine how many more Ring Spirit Formations I can establish." Wang Xiaoqiang triumphantly said aloud.

"Little Qiang, are your soldiers and generals, employing the Ring Spirit Formations?" Huang Ce, observing the eight formations in awe, remarked.

"That's right!" Wang Xiaoqiang answered.

"No wonder it's so formidable. It's notoriously difficult to establish Ring Spirit Formations. The critical part is the unity of intent among the formation's members, with no discord…Little Qiang, these are all Ann Guochu's former troops. How did you bend them to your will?" Huang Ce was even more astounded.

"The art of using troops boils down to two words, 'reward and punishment'. Punish those who deserve punishment, reward those who deserve rewards. As a Marshal, you must act on your words, establish authority, make your soldiers both respect and fear you, and feel they have a promising future with you. That way, they will heed your command."

Huang Ce's eyes sparkled upon hearing this. Though straightforward concepts, as a Lord of One Nation, he certainly understood this. However, coming from Wang Xiaoqiang, who had never commanded an army before, it was quite extraordinary, as he used to be a complete novice.

"Little Qiang, it seems you are not only a cultivation prodigy but also a military genius." Huang Ce patted Wang Xiaoqiang's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Ann Guochu has indeed revolted, yet he's cunning, not leading the army himself, otherwise he'd make a one-way trip today," Wang Xiaoqiang remarked.

"Yes, he used an avatar to hold me back, with the intention of seizing the strategic location…Yue Land."

"Yue Land?…" At these words, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat, for Yue Land is where he was newly appointed. His Marquis' Mansion, his women Yan Ruxue and Yan Ruyu, and his Earth comrade True Person of Taiyi are all there!

As he thought of this, Wang Xiaoqiang became anxious, knowing the potential repercussions if Prince Ann seized Yue Land.

He couldn't care for the common people of Yue Land, but if his women and Taiyi were caught in Prince Ann's hands and used against him, he wouldn't know how to cope!

Wang Xiaoqiang feared nothing more than being at someone else's mercy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
