Chapter 48
Outside Black Iron City, the demon and demon armies were entrenched. The Sheng flags were fluttering, and the wind blew, causing the stench of blood to assail their faces.
"Father, Chengyang has a Martial Saint expert. I suggest that Demon Emperor Tuoba Jie act first to test the waters. When the Martial Saint expert in Chengyang is exhausted, Father will make a move and secure victory!”
On a mountain peak outside the city, Nangong Ningshuang and Nangong Tian stood there, looking at Black Iron City in the distance.
"I understand."
Nangong Tian's sharp eyes, which were covered with a black iron mask, seemed to be able to see through Black Iron City and look at the capital city hundreds of miles away.
Nangong Ningshuang tried her best to dissuade them from this battle, but it had little effect.
In the great war back then, too many demons had lost their loved ones. Now that there was a chance to take revenge, naturally, Yun Qi responded.
Nangong Ningshuang sighed in her heart. It was not easy for the demon race to enjoy peace for more than 60 years.
However, three years ago, Nangong Tian had refined the Dragon Essence and entered the Saint Realm. She immediately summoned her subordinates to discuss it and joined forces with Tuoba Jie, who had entered the Saint Realm.
Once again, this massive war was launched.
She had no choice but to follow and give Nangong Tian advice.
The demon army sent out a total of 100,000 demon soldiers, while the yao sent out 130,000 yao soldiers.
With the two armies combined, there was not enough space outside Black Iron City to accommodate so many demon soldiers.
The two armies had actually flattened a five-mile radius of mountains overnight and used it as a base camp.
Thinking back to the battle prowess that the Saint had displayed at Moon Bay, even now, Nangong Ningshuang still felt a lingering fear.
The other party was fighting two Saints alone. How terrifying was his strength?
Now that so many years had passed, no one knew how much that Saint had grown.
Especially since the other party still had that mysterious chessboard in his hand.
The Monster Race and Demon Race wanted to invade Chengyang and turn it into their hunting ground.
That Saint would definitely make a move. At that time, the other party would be unable to fight against four hands with two fists. He might even grab one of them and die together with them.
Nangong Ningshuang could only pray that Su Xuan Yi would hug Tuoba Jie and die with him.
This way, the demons might have a chance to unify this continent.
"Although many people will die, sometimes the necessary sacrifices are only for the sake of better development for future generations.”
Nangong Ningshuang thought to herself.
After this thought appeared in her mind, she smiled bitterly.
The Monster Race, Demon Race, and Human Race were all different races. The appearance of the war was definitely to destroy the other race and expand their territory.
Even if Chengyang City was conquered by the Monster Race and Demon Race today, in the future, when the two races recuperated on the land of Chengyang, the Monster Race and Demon Race would inevitably have a dispute. At that time, it might be a life and death struggle between the Monster Emperor and the Demon Emperor!
As the old saying goes, those who are not of the same race will have different hearts!
"Back then, our ancestor Ye Zhiming and the Great Qin Emperor Ying Zhen fought to the death just for a chessboard!
After I kill that Saint of Chengyang, I'll get that chessboard."
Nangong Tian muttered in her heart. She was determined to obtain the chessboard that Nangong Ningshuang had described as divine.
Nangong Tian's ambition was magnified once again after she entered the Martial Saint Realm.
He could clearly sense that this path of martial arts had not reached its end.
A few hundred years of lifespan was too short. He still wanted to be like the ancestors of the Demon Race, advance to the Martial Emperor Realm, and ascend to the Immortal World!
And now, he had occupied Chengyang only to obtain more cultivation resources so that he could have a chance to seek a breakthrough!
At this moment, a long rainbow flew over from afar. Two figures landed in front of Nangong Tian and Nangong Ningshuang.
A burly man was holding a shield in his hand and wearing black armor.
He was Demon Emperor Tuoba Jie.
Back then, Yuan Qing's corpse had been used by him to break through to the Saint Realm. His bones and scales had been used to make armor and shields.
Standing beside the burly man was a man with a bull's head and a human body. He was Tuoba Jie's son, Tuoba Yuan.
Because he had not entered the Half-Saint Realm, he could not successfully transform into a human.
"Brother Nangong, I haven't seen you for many years.”
Tuoba Jie's voice was like thunder, shaking Nangong Ningshuang's face until it turned pale.
"Tuoba Jie is the one who is still as elegant as ever. This shield should be made from the bones of that beast, right?”
Nangong Tian said in surprise.
On the top of the shield, there was a dent made by the blade.
The sword that Yuan Qing had been killed with back then was the Saint Slayer Sword, Inch Extension.
Just now, Tuoba Jie had intentionally sounded him out, while he had calmly recounted the outcome of Yuan Qing's death.
[Your shield can't stop my Saint Slayer Sword!]
Tuoba Jie's expression changed when he heard this. His eyes were deep as he said,""Both of us have entered the Saint Realm. Chengyang will no longer be our match.”
"Brother Nangong, do you still remember the agreement from back then?”
Nangong Tian smiled." Of course. When we occupy Chengyang, we will use the Azure River in Chengyang as the boundary. You want the north, and I will occupy the south. We will not invade each other.”
Hearing Nangong Tian mention the promise from back then, Tuoba Jie nodded and smiled,""I believe that Brother Nangong is a man of his word. After we take down Black Iron City, only Chengyang Capital will be left. I will be the first to fight this battle, and Brother Nangong will be the first to fight the next battle. What do you think of this arrangement, Brother Nangong?”
Old fox!
Nangong Ningshuang's pretty face turned cold.
In Black Iron City, that Saint might not appear.
However, when they reached the capital, the Saint named Su Xuan Yi might very well appear. At that time, with him possessing the chessboard, even if his father advanced to the Saint Realm, he might not be a match for him.
Before she could persuade her, Nangong Tian said slowly,""We'll do as you say."
"Haha, in that case, it's settled.”
Tuoba Jie laughed and turned to Nangong Ningshuang."This must be Brother Nangong's daughter. She's really pretty."
"Brother Nangong, why don't we have a marriage alliance after we occupy Chengyang?”
When it came to marriage, Tuoba Yuan, who was standing behind Tuoba Jie, was startled. He looked at Nangong Ningshuang with a strange look in his big eyes.
"Thank you for your love, Uncle Tuoba. However, my niece already has someone in her heart. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you.”
Nangong Ningshuang's pretty face under the veil was a little ugly as she said in a cold voice.
The other party had actually thought of such a method to maintain the alliance relationship between the two sides. This was something that she did not expect.
"I see. That's a pity.”
Tuoba Jie didn't even look at her as he said with a smile.
He did not care about his son's marriage.
Demons had long lifespans. In addition, he had now advanced to the Saint Realm. Perhaps Ta Bayuan would die before him.
He only wanted to strengthen the relationship between the two sides through marriage. When his strength increased, he would start a war against the demons and turn all the territories in this world into the hunting grounds of the demons!
"I'll wait here for your good news, Brother Tuoba," Nangong Tian said lightly.”
"Haha, of course."
Tuoba Jie laughed out loud. With a flash, he hovered in the sky above Black Iron City.
"I'm the Demon Emperor Tuoba Jie. I've already advanced to the Saint Realm. I advise you to quickly open the city gates and surrender!”
"I will only give you two hours. If you are stubborn, you will be slaughtered by my demon army!”
When he saw the Demon Emperor Tuoba Jie hovering in midair, his arrogant tone resounded throughout the entire world.
The soldiers who were originally standing on the city wall with high fighting spirit turned pale as paper, and the thought of invincibility rose in their hearts.
The leader of the city guards, Sui Tang, had an ashen expression. He wanted to say a few words to boost morale, but the soldiers no longer dared to look him in the eye. They lowered their heads and slowly put down the weapons in their hands.
Sui Tang's heart thumped as a thought flashed through his mind.
"Is Chengyang going to die?"
