The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 232 | Middle Empire invades Liu's Championship
In the morning at the northern border of Liu kingdom, the forces of Liu kingdom and Ming kingdom assisted by the forces of the underworld look eagerly awaiting the arrival of the forces of the Middle Empire.
The presence of Shen Long, Emperor of the Underworld brought its own pride to the armies of the underworld. Fighting beside the Emperor made them feel proud and even more excited.
Shen Long's battle of defeating the Emperor of the Underworld Tu Long and also defeating the Celestial Emperor Shang Luo imprinted clearly in their memories. Making Shen Long's name more and more respected by the inhabitants of the underworld. To them, Shen Long was an underworld hero as well as an Emperor of the underworld.
Shen Long stood at the top of the northern border fortress of Liu, accompanied by his 5 wives, including Empress Qin. While the Kings of the lower world clans along with King Gu and the other Generals were standing behind them.
“All my brothers, today we stand here to defend our territory from enemy attack. I Shen Long feel proud and honored to fight alongside you” cried Shen Long to give his troops encouragement.
Hearing Shen Long's words, the spirit of the Liu kingdom's army, Ming kingdom and the underworld's army was flaring up even more. They cheered for the arrival of the Middle Empire's troops.
About a few minutes later, a rumbling sound rang out troop steps making the earth seem to shake. Smoke billowed in the distance that faintly revealed thousands of troops marching close to the northern border of Liu kingdom.
The banner flag of the Middle Empire fluttered in front of them, leading the Central Empire's force to attack Liu Kingdom, precisely the Sword of Hope sect. They had the mission to eradicate the Sword Hope sect, as well as the Liu kingdom and Ming kingdom which were considered to help the Sword Hope sect.
In the heart of the Central Empire's army, they were facing the Empire's rebels. So that their spirit flared up, let alone they were led by five Ghost Generals who were strong commanders of the Central Empire army.
“Chairman Shen, They have come” muttered King Gu who was standing right behind Shen Long.
A messenger on horseback approached the northern border fortress of Liu.
“Kingdom Liu, we from the Middle Empire want to destroy the Sword of Hope sect. Surrender and let us enter your territory. Or we will destroy you too” cried the envoy from the Middle Empire army while brandishing the spear with the flag of the Middle Empire into the air.
General Liu immediately came forward to give his answer while carrying his bow. He then shot the horse and made the messenger fall on the ground with an angry face. Likewise the banner of the flag of the Middle Empire that they respected fell on the ground.
The cheers from Liu's royal army, Ming kingdom and the forces of the underworld were heard as soon as they saw the banner of the Middle Empire's flag that had fallen to the ground.
“We Liu kingdom is friendly with Sword of Hope sect. You attacked them, it means you are hostile to us” shouted General Liu after archering the messenger's horse.
The fallen envoy immediately took back the banner of the fallen Middle Empire flag with his face holding back anger. Then go back to his army.
All these events were not separated from the observation of the five Ghost Generals and their troops. The Ghost Generals eyes twitched at the scene. He had not expected Liu's small kingdom to dare to go against those who were much stronger.
Immediately the White Ghost General gave his cue to attack the northern border fortress of Liu kingdom.
The spear force immediately advanced followed by an army of arrows that were behind them. Upon arriving at the firing range, the arrow troops immediately prepared to launch their arrows towards the border fortress of Liu kingdom.
As many as thousands of arrows flew in the air towards the border fortress of Liu kingdom. Shen Long immediately took out his Nirwana Sukma Mirror and deployed it to dam and reflect back thousands of arrows on the Central Empire's troops.
Seeing that, the faces of the five Ghost Generals grew even darker. For the second time the arrow troops again carried out an arrow attack with even more in the air.
But Shen Long returned easily to fend off the attack and return the arrow to the Central Empire's forces.
This time thousands of arrows shot through the air from the direction of the fortress towards the army of spears and arrows that were within their firing range. The Central Empire army was in a mess, even though they were fending off with shields, but there were still arrows that could pierce through some of them.
Seeing the enemy take out a shield, General Liu again gave the order, “Burn them!”. This time the arrow troops that had wrapped the oil-soaked cloth on their arrows then lit a fire and were ready to attack the Central Empire's army. “Shoot!” shouted General Liu gave a cue
Thousands of fire arrows shot towards the spear troops and arrows troops of the Middle Empire who then burned their shields and clothes. The Central Imperial Army was becoming more and more in disarray.
“Strike!” General Liu's orders again made the Liu royal army, Ming kingdom and the occupants of the underworld immediately out of the border gate of Liu kingdom.
Seeing that their opponents were busy extinguishing the flames, the combined forces of Liu's kingdom had the upper hand in slaughtering the Central Empire's army.
Seeing their spear and arrow troops being attacked, the five Ghost Generals immediately ordered their cavalry to attack. The Ghost Generals also seemed to have begun to intervene in the direct lead.
The Kings of the underworld clan who saw the five Ghost Generals coming, immediately prepared to greet him.
A great battle between the two sides ensued.
The strongest Water Dragon King Shui Long of the Kings of the lower world clan directly charged towards the White Ghost General. The Metal Dragon King Jin Long charged towards the Green Ghost General. Beast King Shan Lang attacked the Black Ghost General with his best friend Water Demon King Shui Ni.
The husband and wife of Demon King Jing Lu and Asura King Huo Lo attack the Red Ghost General. While the Demon Fox King attacked the Yellow Ghost General.
Shen Long who was observing the battle from above the border fortress of Liu kingdom still felt his troops had the upper hand. He felt calm seeing that the abilities of the Kings of the lower world clans had improved a lot.
He suddenly sensed that there was a different aura among the cavalry from the Middle Empire. “Any, I felt I had recognized this aura.” Shen Long muttered
“Devil Emperor, how do you work inside my body?” muttered Shen Long asking the Demon God Emperor in his mind.
“Damn it, I'm not your subordinate. Opening this entire seal took a long time. I just opened 9 seals, there are 990 more. Don't rule me!” the Demon God Emperor was upset
“Good. Use your time as well as possible. There is no need to rush to get out of there” Shen Long said next with a smile
The Demon God Emperor could only grumble at Shen Long's words, he could do nothing but try hard to unseal the rest of the seal on Shen Long's body so that he could immediately leave the place.
“Devil Emperor, I will borrow your power. You continue your work there well ya” continued Shen Long
“Damn you Shen” grumbled Demon God Emperor annoyed.
Shen Long closed his eyes then used the power of the Demon God Emperor to find where the aura was. Then after finding him, he immediately jumped flying in attack towards one of the cavalrymen in the middle of the battleground.
Everyone's faces were shocked to see what Shen Long had done that had suddenly plunged into the battlefield and attacked one of the cavalry.
“The Hell's natural Devil. Apparently you are participating in this battle” shouted Shen Long who directly attacked the cavalry.
