Long Chen stopped before hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were standing in his path.
Seeing most of them on their knees, a smirk formed on his lips.
"I have joined this War, and I'm still feeling a little merciful. Tell me who fired that arrow at me. If you answer me and go down to your knees, I might be able to leave you alive! I have no patience. I'll give you three seconds!"
"Hahahaha!" Just as Long Chen finished speaking, a hearty laughter came from the distance.
The man addressed as General Qin came flying, landing before his men. "You give them three seconds? How about I give you three seconds? Go down on your knees and apologize to us, and we might let you live!"
Seeing General Qin talk to Warlord Long Chen like that, all the soldiers were shocked. They wondered if he had come crazy, but there were some soldiers who knew better.
The ones who had gone down on their knees didn't know about the secret tricks that the Yun Empire had under their sleeves, but the soldiers who were standing knew.
That's precisely why they stood standing even when the Warlord himself was standing before them.
"You... Give me three seconds?" Long Chen asked, frowning. "Very amusing for a pest. Go ahead. I'll wait for three seconds then."
He folded his arms and continued waiting while counting.
"One..."
"Two..."
Long Chen started counting. Seeing him count himself, General Qin smirked.
"Three seconds are over. What now?" Long Chen asked.
As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, he felt something odd. It was as if something was sucking his strength, and his body was starting to feel heavy.
Frowning, he looked down to notice a giant formation was shining under his feet.
It was that formation itself that was sucking his energy, making him weaker.
In fact, even standing still was a struggle for him. His body was so heavy that he felt it was going to be a relief to go down on his knees, but he couldn't do that. It was beneath his dignity to go to knees before the enemies.
Seeing the enemies trying to take away his dignity by pulling these tricks, he grew even more infuriated, which strengthened him even more.
He raises his hand, clapping them.
Boom~
Following an ordinary-looking clap, a powerful wave of energy blast came from his body, spread all around him.
It kept destroying the ground and the formations on it.
Now that the formation was destroyed, he felt a bit relieved.
"You showed me what was at the end of your three seconds; now let me do the same," he said, showing a devilish smile.
He raised his hand, bringing out a powerful heavy Sword from his storage ring.
The Sword seemed to be made from the bones of an unknown beast, but it was filled with power and sharp enough to cut steel.
There appeared to be a closed eye on the hilt of the sword.
It was the Sword that Long Chen had found after searching a lot. It was from an era where Demons and Heavenly Warriors had fought here.
From what he believed, the sword belonged to a high ranking devil, which complemented his darker aura. It was a Demon Grade Weapon.
As Long Chen brought the sword, an aura of death and destruction spread far and wide, making everyone shiver even more, including General Qin. His face went pale.
Long Chen had destroyed the formation, which was their trump card, and now he was free to do anything.
He watched Long Chen swinging his sword, understanding that this war was lost. In fact, they never had a chance to win the war at all.
A deadly arc of darkness came flying to them, covering all the land. The arc sliced everyone from the chest who was standing.
Many bodies dropped to the ground, split in half.
The ones who had gone down on their knees right at the start were the ones still alive.
"Now, the ones who are left alive... Are you going to tell who tried to shoot me?" He asked the men who were on their knees. "Or should I do the same again?"
Almost everyone pointed towards the same person. However, that person was already dead. He was standing right behind General Qin.
"I-it was Captain Wu." One of the soldiers said.
"This guy?" Long Chen asked, pointing at the dead man. "Why didn't you tell me before? I would've taken my time with him."
He swung his sword again, killing the soldier who was on their knees for not telling him before. It angered him even more.
After finishing, he walked above the bodies that were lying on his path, advancing towards the Royal Palace.
"This... The formation couldn't even stop him for a minute. Just what kind of man is he?!" Prince Yu said hysterically.
When his Yu Empire was attacking, Long Chen hadn't gone there either. He was back at his palace. That was why Yu hadn't seen him.
He had indeed heard the stories of the strength of Long Chen, but he always considered them as exaggerated stories by a man who was hungry for praise.
Seeing Long Chen right now, he had a feeling that the stories weren't really as exaggerated as he thought. In fact, the stories didn't do justice to his true Strength!
He had read about the lost formation of ancient times. He knew how strong it was. For a person to destroy it so easily, that didn't make sense.
"We should run!" He told the Princess.
"Run where?" Princess Yun asked. "I-i can't leave my Empire."
"If you don't, the best outcome is that you'll die. There are much worse things that could happen to you. You must run! Come!" Prince Yu caught the hand of Princess Yun and started taking her away.
He soon left the palace and climbed on a horse, making Princess Yun sit behind him. The horse started running away from the Palace in the opposite direction from where Long Chen was coming.
Long Chen reached the palace, destroying everything in his path while asking where the so-called princess was who was the architect of this resistance according to what he had heard.
Before long, he received the information that Princess Yun had run away with Prince Yu only recently.
He also received the information about the direction.
....
Prince Yu was on the horse, which was running as fast as it could when a portal opened before him. A woman stepped out of the portal.. "This world should be safe for a little while."
