As they flew closer and closer to the Qiyang Empire, Ling Hao watched the hordes of demonic beasts madly attacking the humans from high up in the sky.

"I'll kill you!"

A middle-aged man looked at a black yak. The yak was exuding a scorching aura and was surrounded by a black aura. It was ten feet tall with blood hanging from the corner of its mouth. It was left behind by him after just eating humans.

The middle-aged man watched helplessly as his family was eaten by the black yak.

He had no desire to live on. A deathly aura filled his eyes as he charged towards the black yak. His movements were nimble. He raised his fist and continuously punched the beast, but to no avail.

The black yak looked at him with disdain.

"Foolish humans, I have eaten you because I think highly of you." The black yak smiled sinisterly as he spoke in human language. Then, his mouth opened wide in an attempt to swallow the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man trembled as he saw his death right in front of his eyes. It was a subconscious fear.

He slowly closed his eyes, his mind filled with images of his wife and children.

After a long while, he heard a crisp sound, as if something hard had shattered. He raised his head to look, and his eyes immediately widened. The black bull's mouth was full of blood; there was a sword in his mouth.

The white-robed youth had a calm expression.

Its sharp teeth came in contact with the sword blade and directly injured his mouth. At this moment, it was in so much pain that it was jumping around like a mad cow, stirring up a cloud of dust on the ground.

Black Ox was only a Rank 3 Demonic Beast, which was equivalent to the Manifestation stage of humans. From Ling Hao's point of view, it was an easy feat for it to kill him as long as it was at the sixth level of Manifestation.

Ling Hao killed the black ox with a palm strike, then left.

He wanted to hurry to the capital, but he had no idea what the situation was like there.

"An immortal?" The middle-aged man was flabbergasted as he watched the youth leave. Many years later, he would still remember this scene.

Atop the mountain peak, over thirty miles away from the capital, the Qi Yang army was stationed. They wore armor and held long spears, and each of them was covered in blood and looked exhausted.

"Second Brother, the entire Qin Army has been annihilated!" Qin Feilong walked in front of Qin Yong with a mournful expression.

The Qin family's army was an elite army of the Qiyang Empire. They mainly protected the members of the royal family and rarely went out to attack. However, they had no choice but to fight the demonic horde to the best of their abilities.

"Second Brother, Fourth Brother, is it really true that I, Qi Yang, am going to be destroyed?"

She followed Qin Yong and personally led the army. Although the soldiers tried their best to stop them, many of them ended up in the stomachs of demon beasts.

"Your Majesty, they are going to attack again." At this time, a dejected general cupped his hands together with a bitter look on his face.

Every time the Demonic Beasts attacked, they would group into their position. Furthermore, their skin was tough and their flesh was thick. Weapons could not break through their defense. These were Rank 2 and Rank 3 Demonic Beasts. There were a total of seven to eight hundred of them.

"Fourth brother, ninth sister, you two should leave. Let's get out of here first." Qin Yong couldn't bear to see the two of them eaten alive.

"What are you talking about, second brother?" "I won't leave!" Qin Jiu shouted.

Qin Feilong laughed sinisterly, "Since heaven wants us to die, so what? As long as I, Qin Feilong, am still breathing, these animals will not be able to enter the capital! "

"Someone, come and fight with This King."

With a spear in hand, Qin Feilong turned around and mounted his warhorse.

"Alright!" Qin Yong's eyes were cold as he said, "As the emperor of Qiyang and subject to the respect of tens of thousands of people, even if it is a life and death situation, I should still do something for them."

Then he turned to the legions.

"Soldiers, behind you is the capital. This is our home, Qi Yang. If the demon beasts enter the city, the blood within the city will gush into the sky."

"I am here. I shall live with you, and I shall die with you!"

Qin Yong drew his sword and pointed it at the sky.

"Your Majesty, for Qi Yang, I am willing to take the lead!" The aged Prime Minister's eyes shone with a brilliant light. He had lived in Qi Yang all his life, and if he could just watch his home break into pieces …

He couldn't do it.

"Long live Qi Yang."

"Long live Qi Yang."

"Long live Qi Yang."

A deafening sound resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

This battle was for the sake of protection.

The soldiers mustered their courage, the bloodlust in their eyes not yet extinguished.

They had no choice. Behind them were their wives, or their newborn children, or their elderly parents.

For the sake of Qi Yang's people, as soldiers, they died in battle.

"Alright."

"Fourth brother, let us lead the way." Qin Yong mounted his warhorse and coldly stared at the demonic beasts in front of him.

"Second brother, fourth brother, I want to go too."

"Hey, you two can't refute me. As the son of the royal family, I should contribute to the common people." Qin Jiu said as he put on his armor.

At this moment, everyone's aspirations were in place.

Smoke filled the air. Although Qi Yang's soldiers numbered less than five thousand, his fighting spirit caused the rank 2 beasts to feel slightly apprehensive.

With an imposing manner, he charged towards the incoming demon beasts.

All of a sudden, the sea of blood soared to the heavens. Demonic beasts were still demonic beasts after all. If ordinary saber, spear, sword, or halberd struck their bodies, they wouldn't move an inch. Instead, they would become ferocious beasts.

As time passed, the number of soldiers grew fewer and fewer. They were all lying on the ground, blood flowing, but their eyes were fixed on the blurry capital behind them.

That was his home, Qi Yang's biggest home.
