After being surrounded by the Dark Law King's seven shadow clones, Zhao Chong immediately realized he was in a dangerous situation and leapt into the sky at once.

Suddenly, the seven shadow clones of the Dark Law King rose up from the ground even faster than Zhao Chong, soaring into the air. They then expanded, fused together, and closed off the space above, forming a huge black column swirling with terrifying spiritual power that trapped Zhao Chong within.

Before long, the crimson tip of a sword emerged from the top of the black column, followed by a huge blood-red sword that slowly became visible.

It was Zhao Chong's Blood Jade Sword!

At that moment, the soldiers engaged in the chaotic battle to the east couldn't help but be drawn to such a scene, their faces showing utter shock.

For both the black column and the blood-red sword possessed a level of spiritual power that they could hardly imagine. The collision of that spiritual power caused the surrounding air to warp and distort, creating a peculiar wind sound, alternating between shrieking and moaning.

Just as the enormous Blood Jade Sword was about to fully break through the black column, the top of the column suddenly surged with waves, and then two black hands crawled out, tightly grasping the blade of the Blood Jade Sword to prevent it from leaving.

Shortly thereafter, two dark spheres grew from the black hands, rapidly expanding as if they sought to devour the sword.

"Whoosh!" With a gusty sound, a burst of sword qi mixed with immense spiritual power dispersed from the Blood Jade Sword, shattering the two dark spheres.

At the instant the dark spheres were crushed, the soldiers fighting fiercely in the east could clearly feel the entire heaven and earth trembling, the air primarily composed of yin qi shivering.

Many soldiers looked worried, daring not imagine the scene that would unfold if either the giant sword or the black column were to collapse. Even less imaginable was the possibility that if both were to be annihilated, perhaps the entire Huiyin Mountains would be implicated!

It was clear to everyone that the black column was an incarnation of the Dark Law King, and the crimson giant sword represented Zhao Chong; both were exerting their full strength without any reservation.

At this time, atop the main peak of the Huiyin Mountains, Ye Yuqiao also saw the black column and the blood-red giant sword and couldn't help but worry about Zhao Chong.

However, more than the evenly matched strength between Zhao Chong and the Dark Law King, she was more concerned about the army of fifty thousand led by King Qingyu and King Wumeng, which was now in the very close vicinity.

With just over ten thousand soldiers guarding the main peak of the Huiyin Mountains, it seemed too difficult to withstand the fierce attack of the fifty thousand Ghost King Battalion.

Since Chen Hao was nearby, Ye Yuqiao was unable to transform into a fire phoenix for the battle. Moreover, even if she could transform, the army of fifty thousand had prepared countermeasures and ambushes specifically against her, just waiting for her to fall into their trap.

"Yuqiao!" At this moment, Chen Hao returned from the frontline where he had been the first to engage in battle.

"Chen Hao." Upon seeing Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao's anxious emotions immediately eased.

She tightly clutched Chen Hao's hands, buried her head in his chest, and whispered softly, "You did very well just now!"

Chen Hao gently stroked Ye Yuqiao's hair and said, "You still have some of the Nether King's Power left, right? Remember, you can only use that power to hide in the Nether Acupoint when you're in danger."

"Mm, I know! Don't worry, for you, I definitely won't get hurt," Ye Yuqiao promised, feeling somewhat guilty.

Chen Hao separated from Ye Yuqiao, urgency filling his eyes as he said, "King Qingyu and King Wumeng, leading a fifty thousand strong army, are nearly upon us. I'm going to meet them first."

"Be careful!" Ye Yuqiao reluctantly nodded to Chen Hao, then lifted her head to leave a sweet kiss on Chen Hao's face.

After parting ways with Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao took out the Sword of Dust once again and began recalling the lingering spirits of the Dust Tribe soldiers from the eastern battlefield back into the sword.

Immediately, on the eastern battlefield of the Huiyin Mountains, the lingering spirits of the Dust Tribe soldiers turned into clusters of pale yellow light and drifted towards the main peak. Seeing this, Niu Tou also retracted his clones, transforming into a mighty ox to follow the airborne dust towards the peak.

With their enemies suddenly vanishing, the soldiers of the Ghost King Battalion were left somewhat lost and baffled.

After a moment, a voice suddenly erupted from the black column, "Quickly assault the main peak of the Huiyin Mountains!"

It was the voice of the Dark Law King.

Soon after, as tens of thousands of soldiers were about to advance, a cluster of piercing Sword Qi suddenly fell from above, obliterating the forest below.

The tens of thousands of soldiers were stunned, too frightened to move forward.

At that time, the crimson glow of the Blood Jade Sword grew even brighter, and the edges of the black column began to twist and contort intensely, looking like it could explode and shatter at any moment. The contest of Spiritual Power between Zhao Chong and the Dark Law King had reached a fever pitch.

Seeing this, the soldiers dared not move forward, instead, they retreated in tacit agreement, fearing that the black column might suddenly explode, harming them with the dispersing energy field.

After another moment, the Dark Law King's voice rang out again, "Move forward, now!"

Only then did the tens of thousands of soldiers continue their advance towards the main peak of the Huiyin Mountains.

..

..

In the northeast of the main peak of the Huiyin Mountains, King Qingyu and King Wumeng had already arrived with an army of fifty thousand.

At that moment, from the center of their encampment, Ye Yuqiao ordered the archers to release their arrows, initiating the attack.

The Ghost King Battalion's fifty thousand soldiers simultaneously raised their shields, infusing them with Spiritual Power to block the incoming arrows.

Soon after, the infantrymen of the Ghost King Battalion pushed catapults into position high above, ready to bombard the main peak with exploding fire stones.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hao entered the Nether Acupoint and, upon emerging, was behind the rear ranks of the Ghost King Battalion; he unleashed the Nether King's Fire along an entire line of catapults to prevent the Ghost King Battalion from deploying the exploding fire stones.

King Wumeng let out a cold laugh, having seen Chen Hao's surprise attack on the archer camp led by the Dark Law King, he had anticipated that Chen Hao would appear in the rear to cause disruption.

Suddenly, the cavalry formation below Chen Hao, which had been orderly riding flying horses through the air, instantly surrounded him.

He had fallen into the ambush that King Wumeng had specifically set for him.

Just as Chen Hao was about to leap into the Nether Acupoint, a flying dagger cleaved towards his head. Instinctively, he dodged the dagger.

Then more and more long knives began chopping at him.

He had no time to perform any maneuvers, busying himself with dodging.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, the surrounding cavalry let out a unified shout, forcing their Spiritual Power from within. All the cavalry's Spiritual Power seemed to form a powerful net, leaving Chen Hao nowhere to escape.

"Argh!" Chen Hao immediately bled from his seven orifices, gravely injured by the overlaid Spiritual Power of the cavalry, his Yin Soul nearly shattered.

After that, dozens of long knives struck Chen Hao.

King Wumeng smiled smugly, thinking that even someone as formidable as Chen Hao could not face a hundred alone.

"Use your Spiritual Power to shatter his Yin Soul!" King Wumeng commanded.
