Shi Yi has a huge body and can cause huge damage with every movement of his hands and feet, and his current combat power is enough to fight against the strong men of the sixth level of King Conferment Realm.
Therefore, there is no need for Han Jiulin to take action now. Shi Yi's power alone and the Shenwu Xuanxiang Knights led by Han Jiulin behind him are enough to be invincible along the way.
But even so, Tianlang City is now completely controlled by various rebels, and two lines of defense have been deployed outside the city. They are composed of a large number of formations with extremely amazing attacks and defenses, and there are many more around them.
Experts are on guard.
The reason why the rebels attach so much importance to the Tianlang City is because once the Tianlang City is recaptured by the empire, the rebels' access to the imperial capital will be immediately cut off.
And this also means that the rebels who are attacking the imperial capital will also be trapped in a situation where they are attacked from both sides, and will become the victims of the imperial army in the blink of an eye.
It is precisely for this reason that the importance of Tianlang City is self-evident.
When Han Jiulin led the Shenwu Xuanxiang Knights all the way to the outskirts of the first line of defense in Tianlang City, the streets were already covered with corpses and blood was rising to the sky.
In order to retake Tianlang City, the imperial army has launched more than ten fierce attacks, but in the end not only did they all fail, but the imperial soldiers suffered numerous casualties and were defeated.
After seeing the arrival of the Shenwu Xuanxiang Knight Battalion led by Han Jiulin, an officer in the army finally struggled out of the pile of corpses, limped to Shi Yi, knelt down on his knees with a "pop", and then screamed miserably.
shouted:
"Brothers, the reinforcements from the Shenwu Xuanxiang Knight Battalion have finally arrived!"
As the officer shouted, some more seriously injured soldiers slowly crawled out from the pile of corpses, and then stood up. All of them were lost and unconscious.
The character of these ordinary soldiers is naturally far inferior to that of the Shenwu Xuanxiang Knight Battalion who has experienced hundreds of battles. Faced with such an unprecedented and fierce battle, many of them have become gibberish and crazy.
Han Jiulin couldn't help but frown when he saw this situation, then stared at the officer below and asked sternly:
"Ba Yue Hou came to annihilate the rebels under the military orders of King Dan Heyu, but not only did he fail to recapture the Tianlang Territory, but he also caused many casualties to our empire's army! Where is he now? Why don't you come and see me soon?"
The officer did not dare to raise his head and look at Han Jiulin, so he lowered his head and said tremblingly:
"Qi... I am reporting to the Commander-in-Chief that almost all of our brothers in the Ba Yuehou Mansion are dead! The strength of those rebels is too terrifying... there is no way... they can't break through this line of defense!"
"Master Hou... he has... died for his country!"
At the end of his words, the officer pointed towards the tower in the distance. Han Jiulin followed his pointing and saw that the head of Ba Yuehou had been hung on the tower.
This Ba Yuehou was also a quite powerful marquis within the Canglan Empire, and Han Jiulin had some impression of him.
In addition to Ba Yuehou, the other two military princes also died in the battle, and their heads were hung on the city tower, which is enough to show how tragic the battle in Tianlang Territory was.
These three military princes all died in the battle to regain the Tianlang Territory under the military orders of King Dan Heyu, but in the end, they were not able to break through even the first line of defense of the Tianlang Territory set up by the Rebel Alliance.
"Han Jiulin, I didn't expect that King Danheyu would send you, a young man with no battlefield experience at all, to lead the Shenwu Xuanxiang Knights Battalion to attack Tianlang City. He really wanted to kill you..."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, who was walking out of the first line of defense in the Tianlang Territory with his head held high as he spoke.
The person who came was the sect leader of the fifth sect in the world, the Paradise Sect, and was also one of the dozens of powerful king-level warriors in the rebel alliance.
The leader of the Paradise Sect was now followed by more than a dozen old men with extraordinary cultivation and a group of young men and women from the Paradise Sect. Everyone followed the leader of the Paradise Sect as they moved forward, and finally stopped at the first road set up in Tianlang City.
Before the defensive line formation.
The officer kneeling in front of Han Jiulin glanced at the head of the Paradise Sect behind him, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Jiulin and shouted loudly: "Commander! Lord Marquis, he died in the hands of this murderer!"
Han Jiulin had already recognized the costumes of the Paradise Sect, and naturally guessed the result, and then spoke slowly:
"Although the power of the Paradise Sect is not as huge as that of Tiandao City and Shenxiang Sect, Song Feichen, the leader of the Paradise Sect, is a top-notch master in the Canglan Empire. No wonder even the Eight Yuehou died here."
The leader of the Bliss Sect laughed mockingly upon hearing this, then stared at Han Jiulin and said:
"Han Jiulin, you are a young genius. I hope you can understand the situation in front of you and don't overestimate your capabilities and waste your life like the three military princes. Your talent is so extraordinary, why should you sink with this decadent empire?
"
Han Jiulin stared at the formation not far away, then sneered, and then ordered: "The entire Shenwu Xuanxiang Knights Battalion obeys the order and retreats ten feet away. Wait for my commander to break the formation before charging!"
As he spoke, Han Jiulin immediately mobilized his "Hunyuan Spiritual Qi" to perform "Reaching the Stars from Beyond the Sky", using countless stars and sword energy to gather on the left and right sides of his body.
"Sect Master, is this guy named Han trying to break the formation by himself?"
"It seems that is indeed the case, but it's just that the imperial army has failed to break through the formation so many times. He actually wants to break it with just one person. Isn't it too arrogant?"
"Does Han Jiulin really think that he is invincible?
It’s really overestimating one’s abilities!”
The leader of the Paradise Sect remained silent at first, but then his pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly said: "Go and inform the masters who are responsible for maintaining the formation, and activate the power of the formation with all your strength immediately. Don't be careless in the slightest!"
Before he finished speaking, the two old men behind the leader of the Bliss Sect immediately took off and turned into two swift shadows and flew out.
While Han Jiulin sneered, he condensed countless star sword energy into one, turned into a huge sword energy that was a hundred meters long, and immediately bombarded the formation light curtain.
This light curtain continued to dent in the blink of an eye, until it reached the limit it could bear, and then instantly shattered, turning into countless particles and dissipating in the wind.
"How could this be so! This light curtain is made up of more than thirty formations, and it was so easily broken by the power of Han Jiulin's magical power?"
As the disciples of the Paradise Sect burst into unbelievable exclamations one after another, Song Feichen, the leader of the Paradise Sect, could not help but feel greatly surprised.
Although he had sensed that Han Jiulin's magical power was extraordinary, he did not expect that Han Jiulin could actually break through the defensive light curtain in such a short period of time. He was surprised by Han Jiulin's powerful combat power.
