A mighty torrent of steel, like a black tide, surged forth.
Looking out, the entire horizon seemed to be submerged by figures.
The Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom's general didn't need to look closely to guess.
The combined forces of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise Kingdoms were definitely more than ten times that of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom.
There were at least a million troops.
The sheer number of troops completely overwhelmed the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom, which only had one hundred thousand troops.
In terms of high-level powerhouses, the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom was still utterly crushed.
The Vermillion Bird Kingdom Lord was still in seclusion.
And the three Kingdom Lords of the allied forces were all Saints.
Not to mention, there was also a mysterious force assisting the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom.
If that force were to act, the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom would be in extreme peril, on the verge of collapse at any moment.
Even if Bai Yu'er had the will to resist, when she saw the endless army, a hint of despair couldn't help but appear in her eyes.
Rumble!
In the distance, on the horizon, an army of about two hundred thousand surged forward mightily.
"It's the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom's army."
On the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom's side, a middle-aged man in fiery red armor said, he was the Grand General of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom, a Void Realm powerhouse.
The Realm after Godly Fire Realm is Void Realm.
However, on such a battlefield, a Void Realm powerhouse found it difficult to turn the tide.
After all, the Void Realm, let alone compared to a Saint, still had a long way to go even compared to a Quasi-Saint.
"Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom, what do they want?" Bai Yu'er's eyes flashed.
In front of the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom's army, a general spoke, "Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom, I am the Grand General of the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom, I give you a suggestion: lay down your arms and surrender, and you can avoid futile slaughter."
"Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom, why did you surrender to the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom?" Bai Yu'er couldn't help but ask.
This was her biggest confusion.
A dignified Ancient Kingdom, even if defeated, it was impossible to completely surrender so easily.
The Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom's general snorted coldly, "We surrendered to the Young Master, his identity and origin are not something ordinary people can know."
"Bai Yu'er, you are the person personally designated by the Young Master, surrender and become the Young Master's concubine, and hand over the compass fragment, then your Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom can remain safe," the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom's general said.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu'er was both shocked and angry.
She was shocked by who exactly that Young Master was, to be able to effortlessly suppress three Kingdoms.
And her anger stemmed from the Young Master's demand to take her as his concubine.
This caused Bai Yu'er's charming face to be filled with murderous intent, her expression icy cold.
The Grand General of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom, standing beside her, also coldly shouted, "How presumptuous! How could the Imperial Daughter of my Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom casually become someone else's concubine!"
All the people of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom were filled with righteous indignation.
This was simply an insult to the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom!
"Hmph, it is your good fortune to be able to become the Young Master's concubine. If you resist, there will inevitably be a river of blood!" the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom's general said coldly.
"I am the Jun Family Divine Child's person, aren't you afraid of offending the Divine Child and being annihilated by the Jun Family in the future!" Bai Yu'er retorted coldly.
Upon hearing this, the general's expression couldn't help but change.
After all, the Jun Family and the Jun Family Divine Child's reputation were too great.
For the Jun Family to annihilate the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom was merely a flick of a hand.
Even if the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdom were combined, they wouldn't be enough for the Jun Family to sweep through.
However, as soon as he thought of the power of that Young Master behind him, the general calmed down.
He sneered, "Vermillion Bird Imperial Daughter, stop trying to use the Jun Family's name. How could the Jun Family Divine Child care about a small figure like you? If he cared, he would have come to help long ago."
"Moreover, even if you have a relationship with the Jun Family Divine Child, that Young Master is still not afraid."
The Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom general's words slightly pricked Bai Yu'er's heart.
Indeed.
To Jun Xiaoyao, she was merely a dispensable pawn.
Even if she perished, Jun Xiaoyao probably wouldn't care.
"But, if the Divine Child doesn't care about me, it doesn't mean I don't care about the Divine Child. I promised to serve the Divine Child as a slave for life, how can I become someone else's concubine?"
Bai Yu'er's eyes revealed a resolute expression.
"You want me to become that Young Master's concubine? Impossible! If you want to fight, then fight!"
Bai Yu'er pointed her long sword at the sky, its sharpness fully displayed!
"Alas, what a pity. Black Tortoise army, heed my command, kill!"
The Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom's general gave the order.
The two hundred thousand strong Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom army moved in unison.
"All generals, heed my command, protect our Ancient Kingdom, kill!" Bai Yu'er also let out a delicate shout.
Rumble!
The armies of the two Kingdoms collided like a flood, instantly engaging in a fierce battle.
Broken limbs flew, and blood splattered!
Shouts, screams, and sounds of battle intertwined into a tragic and bloody tableau.
The two hundred thousand Black Tortoise army was like an unstoppable steel beast.
The one hundred thousand Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom soldiers desperately resisted, but their lines were continuously pushed back.
The Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom had fallen to the bottom of the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms in recent years.
Their army's equipment and combat strength were also inferior to the other three Great Ancient Kingdoms.
Not to mention, they were completely outnumbered.
Under such circumstances, how could the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom possibly win?
"All generals, heed my command, capture the Vermillion Bird Imperial Daughter, Bai Yu'er, alive!" The Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom's general waved his hand and shouted.
Bai Yu'er was the person personally designated by that Young Master; they couldn't let her go.
"Protect the Imperial Daughter!" The Grand General of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom roared.
A group of generals rushed forward, clashing with the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom's generals.
One by one, the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom's generals fell; they were still outnumbered by the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom.
"Everyone…" Bai Yu'er's heart was twisted in pain as she watched.
These generals were all dying because of her.
"Hmph, how troublesome. Can't even catch a single woman?"
At this moment, a cold snort exploded in the Void Realm.
A Saint Realm pressure spread out.
On the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom's side, all the generals and soldiers felt their bodies tremble, experiencing a suffocating sensation.
Above the sky, a figure clad in a black imperial robe appeared.
It was precisely the Black Tortoise Kingdom Lord!
"It's over…"
When the Black Tortoise Kingdom Lord appeared, all the people of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom turned ashen.
Even a Saint had appeared; how could this battle be fought?
Despair also filled Bai Yu'er's heart.
Facing a Saint, she couldn't even resist or commit suicide.
"The person the Young Master wants cannot escape. Come here." The Black Tortoise Kingdom Lord reached out and grabbed, a large hand of magical power condensed, seizing towards Bai Yu'er.
Just at this critical moment, a long roar suddenly came from deep within the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom's Imperial Capital.
Terrifying flames soared into the sky, seemingly transforming into a Vermilion Bird.
A figure in a red imperial robe burst out of seclusion, arriving amidst the sky-filling flames.
"Who dares to violate my Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom!"
The one who emerged from seclusion was precisely the Vermillion Bird Kingdom Lord!
"It's Your Majesty, the Kingdom Lord! He has achieved a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm!"
Seeing the Vermillion Bird Kingdom Lord appear, all the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom's generals and soldiers burst into shouts of joy and tears.
Bai Yu'er also showed extreme joy and surprise, as if finding a path out of a desperate situation.
The Vermillion Bird Kingdom Lord's palm strike shattered the large hand of magical power.
Seeing this scene, the people of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom became even more convinced that the Vermillion Bird Kingdom Lord was a Saint powerhouse.
Their Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom was finally saved!
However, before Bai Yu'er and the generals could rejoice.
At the horizon, the remaining army surged forward once again like a black tide.
At the same time, two more Saint Qi auras erupted.
It was precisely the Azure Dragon Kingdom Lord and the White Tiger Kingdom Lord.
At this moment, even the Vermillion Bird Kingdom Lord's expression changed!
Even if he had achieved a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm, facing three Saints now, he was powerless to turn the tide.
The flame of hope that had just ignited in Bai Yu'er's heart was extinguished once again.
Her eyes revealed a sorrowful expression.
From despair to hope, and then back to despair, what could be more cruel than this?
"Is Heaven truly determined to destroy my Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom?" Bai Yu'er bit her jade lips until they bled.
