Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

"Today, if your Xiao Family possesses the power to defeat three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards, then I won't hesitate to leave immediately and guarantee that the Divine Martial Dynasty will never target the Xiao Family again."

"But if the Xiao Family can't achieve this, then after today, not only will Xiao Mountain City cease to exist, but even the Xiao Family will not exist!"

At this point.

Gu Sheng'an waved his hand dominantly and directly issued the orders.

"Attack the city!"

With these simple words, three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards launched a furious attack.

Xiao Xuan didn't even have time to speak before he saw three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards, like a flood, rushing towards Xiao Mountain City, with terrifying power shaking layers of space, seemingly about to completely destroy the entire Xiao Mountain City.

"Activate the City Defense Array!!!"

Xiao Xuan roared.

Almost the instant his words fell, arrays rose within Xiao Mountain City, followed by arrows of divine skills shooting out from the city, covering the attacking army.

With just a glance.

Hundreds of soldiers were caught off guard, their bodies pierced by these forces, and then completely slain on the spot.

However.

Most of the Divine Martial Imperial Guards were pressing against Xiao Family's counterattack, slamming their forces onto the City Defense Array, making the Ancient Array shake violently, as if enduring some terrible attack.

In merely a moment, the array visibly dimmed.

Seeing this scene.

Xiao Xuan's face grew uglier.

"Divine Martial Imperial Guards——"

He hadn't expected the three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards to be even more terrifying than imagined.

This army was not only powerful but also fiercely unafraid of death, even against Xiao Mountain City's City Defense Array, it was somewhat hard to resist.

Only because the array in Xiao Mountain City today was not completely intact.

Tens of thousands of years ago.

A Quasi Emperor personally came to Xiao Mountain City and broke the City Defense Array.

Even though the Xiao Family later invited many top-tier Array Masters, they couldn't fully repair the array, only restoring six or seven tenths of its former power.

Of course.

Even six or seven tenths.

Was enough to make it difficult for a Saint to truly break through.

A mere three million troops obviously couldn't compare to a Saint.

However.

The Divine Martial Imperial Guards were different.

Not to mention three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards, whose weakest cultivation was at the Divine Transformation Realm Nine Layers, but more importantly, this army gathered a terrifying military soul, where the strength of all soldiers converged at one point, with power exploding far exceeding a hundredfold of the Divine Transformation Realm Nine Layers.

Such fearsome power would make even a Saint turn tail and flee.

"Request the ancestor to act!"

Xiao Xuan, seeing the precarious City Defense Array, directly ordered.

He knew very well.

Things had reached this point, and only by asking for the Xiao Family's ancestor to intervene would suffice.

Otherwise.

Once the City Defense Array was broken, the entire Xiao Mountain City would be unlikely to be spared.

At that time.

How many people of the Xiao Family would die was uncertain.

However.

Just as Xiao Xuan issued the order, the shaky City Defense Array already bore numerous cracks, seemingly on the verge of collapsing.

Gu Sheng'an, stationed in the central army, saw this scene and spoke.

"Deploy the Star Execution Cannon and Heaven-breaking Crossbow, break through Xiao Mountain City's City Defense Array as quickly as possible to prevent other changes!"

After a pause, Gu Sheng'an also looked toward Emperor Extreme Great Saint.

"Additionally, Emperor Extreme Senior, please remain in the army. If the Xiao Family has ancient strong people appearing, then please intervene to kill!"

"Certainly!"

Emperor Extreme Great Saint nodded.

While speaking.

Emperor Extreme Great Saint looked towards Xiao Mountain City, where a source of ancient power was awakening, indicating the Xiao Family, seeing their own side on the verge of collapse, couldn't resist but to awaken those ancient strong individuals.

Thinking of this.

Emperor Extreme Great Saint also felt his blood boiling.

As an Ancient Great Saint, Emperor Extreme Great Saint had been dormant for too long; he yearned for a battle.

The battle at Tianshu Prefecture back then did not satisfy Emperor Extreme Great Saint.

Because in that battle, he was crushed by the Deceitful Heavenly Emperor from beginning to end without any means to counterattack.

To fight to one's heart's content.

Versus being crushed unilaterally.

Those are two different concepts.

Since then, Emperor Extreme Great Saint hadn't acted again.

Now with the Xiao Family seeing ancient strong beings awakening, Emperor Extreme Great Saint naturally felt some anticipation.

On the other side.

As Gu Sheng'an's command passed down, a hundred Star Execution Cannons were pushed out at the rear of the army, along with ten several-zhang-sized crossbow vehicles suddenly appearing.

These crossbow vehicles were entirely black, emanating a dark sheen that made one's heart pound, just looking at them causing intense unease within.

Even Emperor Extreme Great Saint, upon seeing these crossbow vehicles, a hint of dread flashed deep in his eyes.

This dread.

Was not toward the Heaven-breaking Crossbow itself, but toward the Taiyi Divine Dynasty.

Heaven-breaking Crossbow!

A creation from the Taiyi Divine Dynasty of the past.

Unlike the Star Execution Cannon, the reason it could be named Heaven-breaking was because its power was terrifying, seemingly capable of tearing the heavens themselves.

Emperor Extreme Great Saint had once verified the power of the Heaven-breaking Crossbow; below a Great Saint, even a Saint Nine Heavens expert facing it head-on was likely to fall.

This——

was the terror of the Heaven-breaking Crossbow.

However.

This was merely one of many such weapons in the possession of the Taiyi Divine Dynasty.

One Heaven-breaking Crossbow, if a Saint Nine Heavens expert truly wanted to escape, would struggle to hold them.

But if ten or a hundred Heaven-breaking Crossbows fired simultaneously, even a Saint Nine Heavens would have to spill blood on the spot.

Especially amid chaotic battlefield combat, the power the Heaven-breaking Crossbow could unleash was extraordinarily terrifying.

In Emperor Extreme Great Saint's view, since the Taiyi Divine Dynasty had weapons capable of killing a Saint Nine Heavens, they might also possess ones that could cause a Great Saint to be disgraced.

Therefore.

How could Emperor Extreme Great Saint not dread?

At this moment.

A hundred Star Execution Cannons and ten Heaven-breaking Crossbows instantly activated, terrifying powers pierced through the void in an instant, ripping everything apart.

The City Defense Array of Xiao Mountain City, which could barely hold on, was forcefully torn apart under such an assault.

"Boom——"

The array shattered.

The remaining power relentlessly struck within Xiao Mountain City, with half of its ancient walls evaporating instantly, countless cultivators perishing under this strike.

Looking at the empty city walls beside him, and numerous missing Xiao Family elites, Xiao Xuan's body felt as though it had fallen into an ice cave, his face vacant, his heart trembling uncontrollably.

Dead!

Dead in one strike!!

The array, which the Xiao Family boasted of, vanished into dust under this strike.

The terrifying power of the Divine Martial Imperial Guards made Xiao Xuan shudder with fear.

At this moment.

He deeply regretted.

If he knew Gu Sheng'an acted so recklessly, and knew the strength of the Divine Martial Imperial Guards would be this terrifying, then Xiao Xuan would definitely not oppose the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Just then.

An ancient and horrifying aura burst out from the depths of Xiao Mountain City, an old man in a black robe rose into the air, supreme heavenly might suppressing all, seemingly making the Great Tao mourn.

"Who dares to be so brazen, to kill members of my Xiao Family——"

Before the words of the black-robed elder were finished, Emperor Extreme Great Saint, who'd been watching Xiao Mountain City, had already struck fiercely, with cultivation of Great Saint Nine Heavens being pushed to the extremes in an instant.

A domineering and unmatched punch seemingly could entirely overshadow the light of the Great Sun, three thousand Great Tao paths extinguished, while hundreds of miles of sky and space turned into dust and chaos in a split second.

The black-robed elder's indifference turned quickly into shock.

"Great Saint Nine Heavens... you are Emperor Extreme——!!!"

Boom!!

Before the black-robed elder could finish speaking, his body exploded, a rain of blood scattered in the void, causing many within Xiao Mountain City to fall silent.

The ancestor had arrived!

The ancestor was dead!

The hope reignited in the hearts of many in the Xiao Family due to the awakening of the black-robed elder was now completely extinguished by the punch of Emperor Extreme Great Saint.

No one expected.

That the eminent ancestor of the Xiao Family, an Ancient Great Saint from tens of thousands of years ago, could be slain on the spot by a single punch from a Divine Martial Imperial Guard elite.

This punch.

Not only crushed the Xiao Family's ancestor but also extinguished the remaining spirits of the Xiao Family.
