71: Two armies clash, their battle displaying divine might!

The news spread throughout the Black-Corner Region like a rising tide.

The Sect Master of the Black Emperor Sect learned that Elder Lei had been killed, and in a fit of rage, smashed the tables and chairs in the council hall. He roared, "Jiang Luo, you brat! How dare you kill an Elder of my Black Emperor Sect! Pass down the order: gather all forces. We march on Maple City in three days! I will make him pay blood for blood!"

Inside Demon Flame Valley, Earth Demon Old Ghost looked at the corpse of Fire Elder, his eyes filled with killing intent: "Arrogant fool! Do you really think killing Han Feng makes you invincible?"

"Inform the Black Emperor Sect, the allied forces will depart one day early. I want to tear that brat apart myself!"

The two major powers were completely enraged. They mobilized all their clan's strength, assembling their forces. Over twenty Dou Huang experts were dispatched, along with thousands of elite Disciples, marching mightily toward Maple City.

The other powers in the Black-Corner Region learned the news and remained silent out of fear. No one dared to interfere in the confrontation between these two veteran powers and Jiang Luo; they only watched the situation in secret.

Conversely, the atmosphere in Maple City was unusually calm.

Every day, aside from guiding the two Disciples, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, in their Cultivation, Jiang Luo seemed to pay no attention to the two major powers.

Under his guidance, Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils grew stronger, capable of simultaneously locking onto several Dou Huang experts.

And Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body was also being Cultivated to a state of increasing perfection.

Furthermore, she successfully broke through the Dou Huang Realm, reaching the Dou Zong Realm.

Three days later, the allied forces of Demon Flame Valley and the Black Emperor Sect arrived as scheduled.

The massive, dark army surrounded Maple City completely. The auras of over ten Dou Huang experts hung like dark clouds over the city walls; even the air grew heavy.

"Jiang Luo, you brat, if you know what's good for you, quickly open the city gates and surrender! Otherwise, we will flatten Maple City and leave not even a chicken or dog alive!"

At the front of the allied formation, a Dou Huang Elder holding a long saber shouted loudly, his voice shaking the city walls until they slightly vibrated.

On the city wall, Jiang Luo stood with his hands behind his back, his profound black robe fluttering in the wind.

His gaze swept over the dense figures below. His tone was calm but carried an undeniable pressure: "Mere Dou Huang experts dare to challenge my Venerable Self's majesty!"

Before his voice faded, his figure shot out like a ghost, leaving only a Scarlet afterimage.

Instantly, terrifying pressure surged into the allied forces like a tide.

At the rear of the allied forces, Earth Demon Old Ghost and Mo Tianxing's expressions changed drastically.

They were both Dou Zong, considered peak powerhouses at the top of the pyramid in the Black-Corner Region.

Yet, facing the pressure emanating from Jiang Luo, a hint of fear actually arose in their hearts.

Jiang Luo's speed was simply too fast; in the blink of an eye, he had already appeared within the allied formation.

He raised his hand and struck with a palm. The power of Three-Star Dou Zun instantly erupted, and Scarlet energy ripples spread out like a flood!

"Boom—!"

The allied soldiers in the front row fell down like cut wheat. Even the shouting Dou Huang Elder was not spared, instantly being shaken into a mist of blood by the terrifying Dou Qi.

Before the residual Scarlet energy faded, Jiang Luo's figure had already passed through the chaotic military formation as if teleporting, heading straight for Earth Demon Old Ghost and Mo Tianxing at the rear of the allied forces.

The Scarlet Dou Qi surrounding him was condensed but unreleased, yet it carried an inherent, crushing pressure. The allied Disciples along the way dared not even approach, retreating in fear, actually clearing a path through the dense formation.

Earth Demon Old Ghost and Mo Tianxing's expressions changed drastically. The two exchanged glances, both seeing horror in the other's eyes.

Jiang Luo's speed and aura were far more terrifying than rumored!

Earth Demon Old Ghost reacted first, rapidly forming hand seals. Dark-green Dou Qi condensed into a massive spectral claw, carrying an aura that seemed to corrode everything, and lunged toward Jiang Luo: "Jiang Luo, you brat! Don't be so presumptuous!"
