The summer sun was incredibly scorching, even the sun at 3:00 PM was the same, hanging high in the sky like a blazing fireball, ruthlessly roasting the earth.

The heat of the earth was steaming, and even the air seemed to become somewhat distorted.

Compared to the scorching sun, the purple sun behind Chen Mo seemed somewhat insignificant, but to Xiao Yan and the Huai army soldiers, this purple sun was more terrifying and oppressive than the sun in the sky.

In front of this purple sun, Xiao Yan felt so small.

"Third Grade... Divine Power Realm..."

His Adam's apple moved up and down, and at this moment, Xiao Yan's expression was as frightened and incredulous as Liu Ji's was at the time, with a voice inside constantly shouting impossible, impossible.

Xiao Yan even rubbed his eyes, trying to prove that he had seen wrong, but no matter how he rubbed, the purple sun behind Chen Mo did not disappear, it was so dazzling...

Since Chen Mo appeared in the world's sight, information about him has been known to the world.

Counting in full, Chen Mo is only barely over twenty years old.

At this age, even starting cultivation from the womb couldn't reach the Upper Three Grades.

Even in the Xiao Family, there has never been such a genius in history.

In the knowledge of the noble families, breaking through to a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist before the age of twenty is considered a genius.

Stepping into Middle-Grade Martial Artist before twenty is a genius among geniuses.

The brilliant Grand Ancestor Emperor only stepped into the Upper Three Grades at thirty, but Chen Mo is actually stronger than the Grand Ancestor Emperor was.

The most crucial thing is that Chen Mo's displayed divine power, Xiao Yan has never seen it with his own eyes, only learned about it in books introducing innate spiritual qi in the world.

Sacred sun protection, purple light guarding.

If Xiao Yan remembers correctly, this is the legendary Solar Purple Qi recorded in the books.

He heard from the clan leader that the sun is not from their world, so the Solar Purple Qi is an extraterrestrial thing, extremely difficult to comprehend. It is said that the Imperial Family has cultivation techniques for comprehending the Solar Purple Qi and Taiyin Qi, but he has never heard of success stories.

Today, Xiao Yan also bears witness to the legend.

Seeing this scene, the Huai army soldiers fell into chaos, and the Chen Army also felt they were under divine protection, their morale soared, with screams and shouts of killing shaking the sky in the city.

Chen Mo descended like a god among men, shouting angrily, "Chen Mo of Qingzhou is here, those who surrender can be spared, otherwise, no mercy."

"Release the arrows, release the arrows," Xiao Yan shouted anxiously.

"Kill."

Chen Mo pointed forward, and the purple sun behind him instantly shot out, his body's innate spiritual qi was instantly drained, but under the sun's illumination, the withered dantian within his body was gradually being nourished and replenished.

After the purple sun shot out, it rapidly expanded and finally exploded, the scorching energy engulfing everything around.

Xiao Yan's pupils dilated. Seeing the moment the purple sun shot out, he quickly retreated, but was still affected by the residual waves, his protective innate spiritual qi instantly collapsed, then it hit his body, sending him flying and smashing heavily onto the Bluestone Street, his back scorched black.

However, Xiao Yan was at the back of the battle array just now, and seeing the situation wasn't right, he dodged in time. Although affected by the residual waves, he was only injured without life-threatening danger, he just fainted.

"Hiss..."

Seeing this scene, the Chen Army soldiers collectively gasped in shock, seeing that the battle array composed of thousands of troops in front was directly cleared, and the soldiers of the Huai army behind also fell one after another.

On the Bluestone Street, an open space was directly cleared, and a roasted meat smell permeated the air, with hundreds of people turned to ashes in that instant.

"Follow me into the battle!"

After releasing a great move, Chen Mo was still leading the charge with a single blade.

Although Chen Mo's move just now only slaughtered hundreds, in the grand scheme of ten thousand armies it was not notable, but the scene was too gruesome, too intimidating.

Seeing Chen Mo charging, the Huai armies were instantly scared out of their wits, turning and fleeing, afraid of another strike from Chen Mo.

Some Huai army soldiers who felt unable to escape immediately dropped their weapons and knelt to surrender.

Xiao Yan's personal soldiers wanted to take the injured and fainted Xiao Yan away, but Chen Mo swiftly killed the obstructing Huai army soldiers in the front who didn't surrender and rushed in front of them, a single whip-kick knocked down several personal soldiers, their heads hitting the ground with a "thud," dying on the spot.

Chen Mo lifted Xiao Yan with one hand, checked his breath, and seeing there was still a pulse, after a brief consideration, he crippled Xiao Yan's dantian.

Xiao Yan was a Fourth-Grade Martial Artist, and also part of the Xiao Family, with deep ties to Prince Huai, the probability of surrender was very low. If he wasn't crippled and captured, hundreds or thousands of people would be needed to guard him exclusively, which was too troublesome. Besides killing, crippling his cultivation was the best option.

"Kill..."

...

Under the glow of the setting sun, smoke and dust rolled inside and outside Huainan County, several siege vehicles lay scattered and shattered outside the city, blood stained the land red, bodies were visible everywhere.

On the city wall, the flag of Prince Huai had been replaced with Chen Mo's military flag, the exhausted Chen Army soldiers leaned against the city walls and houses to rest.

The terrified citizens in the city had shut their doors and windows tight, not daring to look.

A corner of the city gate tower was blown down by pottery bombs, Chen Mo was wiping the Tang Blade in his hand, below him were Sun Meng, Cui Shuang, Lv Tong, Shao Jinneng, Xu Mu, and Wen Heng among other generals.

Following Xiao Yan's capture, the forces he organized were also defeated and fled by Chen Mo, who directly brought the unconscious Xiao Yan to the front gate and shouted loudly.

Xiao Yan's capture was a severe blow to the troops guarding the front gate.

Though they continued to resist tenaciously, under the situation of being attacked from inside and outside, the guards could hardly withstand, and as the gates were broken, Chen Army's main forces entered the city, and the surviving Huai army finally laid down their weapons, surrendering to the Chen Army.

"Cui Shuang," Chen Mo called, lifting his eyes after finishing with the blade.

"I'm here," Cui Shuang reported.

"Take your men, gather all the bodies inside and outside the city, and bury or burn them together to prevent an epidemic."

"Yes." Cui Shuang responded swiftly and retreated.

"Wen Heng."

"I'm here."

"Guard the defectors with your men and take an inventory," Chen Mo instructed.

"Yes."

"Lord Lv," Chen Mo smiled as he looked at Lv Tong, "The casualties of your unit will be counted by you, Lord Lv."

"Understood." Before coming, Wu Yanqing had instructed Lv Tong to act according to Chen Mo's orders.

"Sun Meng."

"I am here," Sun Meng stepped forward.

"Bring the Personal Guard Battalion to maintain order in the city, do not let anyone disturb the citizens. Also, if any citizens experience casualties or financial loss due to our forces, we will fully compensate them." After capturing the city, Chen Mo seized a large amount of supplies, using some to placate the public was harmless and also demonstrated his benevolence.
