The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 102

Countless calamitous swordbirds flooded the mountain valley.    

Tides are often used as a description, but tides are still contained in rivers and seas.    

These Waves of Swordbirds occupied the entire sky, occupying all available space. This ferocious and vicious ferocious beast covered every corner and point of the sky.    

In the view of the millions of powerful soldiers, countless black dots were as thick as a stem in the hemp fields. They were filled with Swords that swirled and danced in the sky.    

The Green Winged Sword Bird formed a sea of green Sword Birds. It felt like the river dam in heaven had collapsed and a hole had formed in the sky above the Second Crossing, draining the water away just like that.    

There were countless Silver Winged Sword Birds scattered among the green sea.    

There were even many Golden Winged Sword Birds inside. Many golden shadows, and many lines of golden light were seen in the sky. There were at least a few hundred threads throughout the mass.    

The clouds and wind had changed colors, the sun and moon were devoid of light.    

A million strong soldiers finally knew the meaning of these words.    

The army that originally numbered in the millions suddenly shrank into a very small existence compared to the sea of Sword Birds, just as the light of fireflies would fade in the presence of the sun and moon.    

“Long Zhaofeng, you are wise and brilliant for having worn a royal robe early on to have fun playing as a king. You can bring this beautiful dream with you as you go to the underworld to meet your son again.”    

Jiang Chen's tone carried a hint of cruel banter as he looked at the extremely shocked Long family members.    

“Protect king!” Long Er made up her mind immediately. Who would dare to attack Jiang Chen now? He knew that life or death would be decided at this moment.    

Jiang Chen circulated his original qi and exclaimed with the sound of spring thunder, “I, Jiang Chen, only want to kill a member of the Long family and not want to hurt those kneeling in submission. Those who do not do so will be considered loyal to the Long Family to death and will surely die.”    

“Did you all hear it? Other than the Long family, those who kneeled and surrendered would not be killed. Those who did not kneel would be seen as loyal to the Long family to death and arch-enemies of the Jiang family. You will not be given mercy.” Jiang Feng was filled with generosity and kindness, nor did he want to kill innocent people.    

Although the members of the millions of powerful soldiers were basically dependents of the Long family, the soldiers and army generals were all just following orders. This is not a crime.    

Long Er was very surprised and hurriedly exclaimed, “Don't believe the Jiang family's talk. This wave of Swordbirds was a natural disaster, their promises were unbelievable. The Sword Bird was a stupid beast, how could they know who was a member of the Long family and who wasn't?”    

Except, right now, what effect did Long Er's words have? The forces that were originally forced to join the Long family immediately threw their weapons, and knelt down in continuous sound waves.    

Long Er shouted grimly, “Those who kneel will be considered as defectors who have sided with the enemy, and all of them will be executed!”    

After he spoke, Long Er dashed into the formation and dropped over ten soldiers onto the ground like she was chopping vegetables.    

Except, how could he kill everyone kneeling alone?    

Many followed after the first person knelt down. After a while, about seventy to eighty percent of the millions of soldiers were brought to their knees. The remaining people were the elite troops of the Long family, loyal confidants of the Long family like the Duke of Yanmen, or people who previously had deep grudges with the Jiang family.    

A huge Golden Winged Sword Bird suddenly let out a sharp and long whistle!    

With that, several hundred Goldwing Swordbirds launched an attack at almost the same time, turning themselves into golden-colored shadows as they swooped down.    

In their eyes, the humans below are the best food, especially true qi experts – their flesh and blood are the most nutritious type of food.    

The Thousand Silver Wing Sword Birds also immediately swooped down.    

After that—    

Waves of Green Wing Sword Birds fell down one after another as if it was a wave from the sea.    

A beautiful scene formed in front of the Second Intersection in an instant.    

It was as if a meteor had fallen from the sky. The gold, silver, and green ones were falling down incessantly.    

The swordbird has a sharp beak and razor-sharp wings. Their feathers were even harder than any human armor. A normal arrow cannot cause any damage at all. The majority of the arrows were pushed aside by them as their claws were swung.    

Even if the occasional arrow of a strong practitioner managed to injure them, how could they shoot down all the Sword Birds that came towards them like a tide?    

Even if they can shoot down two people with one arrow, or three people with one arrow, how many arms are there to lift the bow, and how many arrows can they shoot?    

“Ah, my eyes!”    

“No, I don't want to die, don't eat me!”    

“I give up, I give up, stop your beak. Stop your beak!”    

Blood and flesh flew randomly in the air as arrows flew wildly. There was total chaos in front of the Second Crossing.    

At first, the large army managed to gather some resistance, but along with the growing number of Swordbirds that joined the battle and the powerful experts in the field were constantly broken down and eaten up, the scene was almost a one-sided massacre.    

“Aduh!”    

“Aduh!”    

Eating the flesh and blood of these powerful practitioners satisfied the Swordbirds in every way and they constantly let out joyful bird cries.    

“I can't take it anymore, run!”    

“Everyone fled to the mountain valley, it would be nice if anyone escaped!”    

Except, escaping under these circumstances was undoubtedly just wishful thinking.    

There were Swordbirds everywhere, both inside and outside, above and below the mountain valley. Whenever there was even the slightest bit of space or gap, the Sword Bird would immediately appear.    

All of these Sword Birds were competing with each other for foraging. How could they let people escape?    

Long Zhaofeng was also very drenched at the moment. Inside the horse defense circle, he fought desperately under the protection of the rest of his true qi masters.    

After all, this was the defining moment between life and death. It was impossible for any true qi master to withstand anything. Whether it was their trump card or strongest treasure, they used it all on the battlefield.    

If they did not use it now, then in this lifetime, they would not have the chance to use it anymore.    

Plus the fact that true qi masters could always bring out their strongest battle potential when in trouble, the fierce way of fighting those who were not afraid of death also caused the Golden Winged Sword Bird to be unwilling to go head-to-head with them.    

After all, with this situation, the Swordbird army was already engaged in a one-sided massacre. The Swordbirds kings were also intelligent and were unwilling to do something like exchange lives for lives.    

Hence, this was why the defensive formation formed by all true qi masters was able to withstand the attacks of the descending Swordbird army like a tide, but the others were not that lucky.    

Each army division had formed a defense unit, but these units were unable to exert any effect in the face of a smooth air strike.    

Yet another formation was dissolved and destroyed with terrible wails and howls. Every fleshy, bloody body was swept to the floor by the Sword Bird, stirred, and eaten.    

“Not again, shit, not again! I surrender!"    

"I'm giving up. What is the point of fighting to live and die? Who are we protecting?”    

“Yes, all true qi masters have fled to protect that so-called king, and we stand here and wait for death?”    

The spirit of the soldiers finally subsided, and they woke up after those loyal and blind supporters were constantly being swallowed by the Swordbird army, leaving only a few stubborn opponents left.    

There is no point in fighting like this.    

With this, more and more divisions were kneeling down and just a small talk to give up.    

After an hour, other than Long Zhaofeng who still managed to hold out amidst the crowd of protection of his true qi masters, there were no more stubborn resistance troops left anywhere else.    

They could have surrendered, or been swallowed up by the Swordbird army.    

That's a strange thing. Once someone kneels down and surrenders, the Swordbird army will stop their attack. Although they would surround the heads of the soldiers endlessly, they were completely refrained from the temptation of blood and flesh.    

A large crowd of kneeling soldiers from the millions of powerful soldiers covered the entire mountain valley. Only the white skeletal skeletons remained of those stubborn opponents. There are tens of thousands of these frames.    

“Jiang Chen, stay in your hands. I am willing to give up.”    

In Long Zhaofeng's defensive formation, the Vermillion Bird Duke, Hong Chunlei, could not stand it anymore. He's going to have a mental breakdown.    

He had placed himself under Long Zhaofeng's banner partly because of the larger picture trend, and partly because of coercion and resignation. He only wanted to maintain his position as one of the four grand dukes, but now he realized that he had made a beehive by following Long Zhaofeng, who was the only one of the four grand dukes, and fell into a terrible situation right now.    

How could he have the courage and confidence to continue fighting to the death for Long Zhaofeng?    

While brandishing the weapon in his hand, he leaped out of the battle ring and knelt down on his knees, intending to give up.    

His knees had just begun to bend as a gust of cold wind swept across the back of his neck. A knife flashed and his head was thrown.    

Long Er said cynically, “Those who go to the enemy side will die.”    

Bloodthirsty shock tactics were no longer enough to amaze and frighten others at this time. The momentum towards defeat has been formed. Even though Hong Chunlei was beheaded, many other powerful experts still started to come out of the battle arena.    

Even the few true qi masters that Long Zhaofeng had bought, the experts who had just been given the title of “” royal experts, had no desire to continue fighting.    

Although the battle arena had yet to collapse, the Swordbird army surged like a tide with momentum that did not stop at all. They could fight and kill, but their hands trembled from weakness, having fought until now. The Swords they killed were only 1/100th, or even 1/1000th of the Swordsmen army.    

What's the point of a fight like this?    

Long Er's body was covered in blood as she exclaimed, “Cover up Her Majesty's retreat and all of you will become meritorious folk and become the ruler of ten thousand households.”    

The stimulus of the ruler of ten thousand households aroused the fighting spirit in the hearts of these royal experts. Luck and prosperity were obtained in the midst of danger, and they risked their lives to become the ruler of ten thousand households.    

Long Zhaofeng was overjoyed and promised, “From those who fight by my side today, those who are still alive will be made rulers of ten thousand people. Those who die his family will be awarded one million gold and endless prosperity will be passed on to their descendants.”    

“Long Zhaofeng, on this day you continue to make promises that you cannot fulfill. To be the master of the top ten thousand households? Do you think you can leave this place alive?”    

Jiang Chen laughed involuntarily after hearing those words.    

Long Zhaofeng was silent. The situation is bigger than the person. It wasn't that he didn't want to kill Jiang Chen, but he never thought that Jiang Chen could deploy an army of Swordbirds. This is something that has not been heard of since time immemorial.    

Above the gap, Princess Gouyu, Eastern Lin, and Eastern Zhiruo watched this scene with complete justification.    

The karma in life has arrived quickly.    

A few days ago, Long Zhaofeng led a large army to besiege the palace and kill everything inside and outside the palace, leaving not even chickens and dogs.    

And now, he was surrounded by the Swordbird army and his life was hanging by a thread.    

Princess Gouyu was filled with astonishment and her heart was in turmoil. He finally understood where Jiang Chen's confidence came from, and finally knew why Jiang Chen viewed the millions of powerful soldiers as trivial.    

It was not arrogance, not ignorance, it was just that he had absolute power.    

“Brother, your noble spirit shouldn't be far away. Did you see this? Long Zhaofeng was not far from death. At this moment, Long Zhaofeng felt the same death struggle as you experienced in the last moments of life.” Princess Gouyu said inwardly.    

The Swordbird army's assault continued.    

Swordbirds attacked incessantly like shooting stars and meteorites, attacking the nerves of every stubborn inhibitor. It seemed like they were walking on the verge of life and death every time they retaliated against the attack.    

Their nerves had reached their breaking point, and they also had no idea how many more attacks they could resist.
