Chapter 239: The Doom of the Dragon Empire!?
🕑 Added 2024-10-17 08:50:06 +0000 UTC“Run!”
“The soldiers of the Ice Dragon Empire are attacking!”
Screams echoed through the streets as panic spread. People began to flee in all directions.
Inside the city, the soldiers of the Ice Dragon Empire started slaughtering the Dragon Empire's warriors and civilians alike.
“Kill all the Dragon Empire people! We don’t need any prisoners!” a general from the Ice Dragon Empire, riding a warhorse, commanded as he raised his spear.
In an instant, chaos engulfed the entire city. Warriors from all around tried to escape the carnage.
As Bai Li Changqing stepped outside, several Ice Dragon soldiers, wielding bloodstained blades, charged at him.
“Get lost.”
With just a glance, Bai Li Changqing uttered those words coldly.
Before the soldiers could react, their bodies were flung backward, smashing against a distant wall, blood pouring from them. They were dead on impact.
“These Ice Dragon soldiers are only ninth-level warriors?” Ye Fan remarked, observing the scene.
“Still resisting, are you?!”
“Kill him!” the general roared, his fury growing as he noticed Bai Li Changqing standing calmly.
“Kill!!!”
The Ice Dragon soldiers, now bloodthirsty, rushed at Bai Li Changqing, raising their weapons to cut him down.
“Heh,” Bai Li Changqing sneered.
As they closed in, he drew his sword.
Shing—
With a swift flash of his blade, the bodies of the charging warriors were instantly sliced in two. The sword aura even reached soldiers further away, cutting them down as well.

The system notifications filled the screen once more.
“I’ve stored quite a lot of energy points now,” Ye Fan noted. Checking the system panel, he saw that his energy points had accumulated to over two hundred thousand—a substantial amount.
“A Martial King?” Bai Li Changqing mused as his gaze shifted toward the general.
The general’s brows furrowed as he watched the scene unfold.
“You lot, keep advancing! Kill every warrior in this city!” he ordered his soldiers.
“I’ll handle this guy myself!”
The general was a Martial King at the peak of his cultivation. With a powerful leap, he dismounted from his horse, wielding a massive halberd. He swung it with such force that flames erupted from the weapon, surging toward Bai Li Changqing.
Unfazed, Bai Li Changqing watched as the flames approached. With a few quick slashes of Jiemie, he extinguished the flames effortlessly.
“Impossible!”
The general’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had expected Bai Li Changqing to dodge, but to see his flames extinguished so easily was beyond his comprehension.
“Damn you! Die!”
With a fierce shout, the general descended from the sky, his halberd aimed directly at Bai Li Changqing.
Shing—
Bai Li Changqing’s sword flashed. In an instant, the general, along with his weapon, was split cleanly in two.

...
“He’s... dead?”
The surrounding soldiers trembled at the sight, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
They blinked several times, as if trying to confirm that what they were seeing was real. This general had been armored in strong battle gear and wielded a formidable halberd. Yet, he had been sliced apart as easily as paper.
“It seems the Ice Dragon Empire is launching a full-scale war against the Dragon Empire,” Bai Li Changqing muttered to himself.
He glanced at the warriors ahead and asked calmly, “Is this a total war?”
“Our Ice Dragon Empire has already conquered most of the Dragon Empire. If you’re smart, you won’t resist!” one soldier shouted, his voice shaky despite his bravado. His trembling body betrayed his fear.
The other warriors, too, trembled. They could barely hold their weapons steady. The earlier scene had shaken them to their cores.
“The entire empire... conquered?” Bai Li Changqing furrowed his brows.
“In that case, you all should die.”
With that, Bai Li Changqing swung his sword in the air.
Shing, shing, shing—
A barrage of sword aura shot out, cutting through the soldiers before they could even react. In an instant, their bodies were cleaved in half.

Bai Li Changqing gazed at the distant sky, deep in thought. After a moment, he turned and left the area.
...
Meanwhile, the bridal procession escorting Princess Changyue suddenly came under attack by a large group of Ice Dragon warriors.
“Ah!”
Screams echoed through the air as the ambush took place.
Princess Changyue, dressed in her red wedding robes, stood inside her carriage. Hearing the chaos outside, her expression darkened.
The thing she had feared most had come to pass.
She had hoped that by agreeing to the marriage, peace could be achieved, and she was willing to sacrifice herself for it. But now, it was clear that events were unfolding far differently than she had imagined.
She tore off her red veil and stepped out of the carriage.
Outside, the warriors of the Dragon Empire were locked in battle with the ambushing Ice Dragon warriors.
“Your Highness, run!”
“It’s a trap! The Ice Dragon Empire has deceived us!” the hidden guards protecting Princess Changyue shouted.
Biting her lip, Changyue's expression wavered, torn between fear and determination.
Run!
