Chapter 1210 - 479: True Dragon Son of Heaven Displays Might (Part 3)

"Dispatch scouts to gather intelligence on the situation."

"Meanwhile, reinforce the defenses of Capital City overnight, and be on high alert."

"Once the time is right, we will strike back."

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing these words, Richard’s eyes lit up.

"Brilliant! Truly worthy of a strategist!"

He nodded repeatedly, making the decision immediately.

"Let’s follow the gentleman’s advice and start preparing at once!"

"Do not worry, everyone. Our lord has a plan up his sleeve."

"Surely there is a strategy already devised!"

"We just need to give it our all, and we will overcome this peril!"

With these courageous words, the ministers’ hearts finally settled.

"Lord Richard is wise! We will give our utmost effort!"

"Whatever orders the lord issues, we will fulfill them without hesitation!"

In an instant, there was unity between the upper and lower ranks.

Determined minds bring fortresses to ruin.

...

According to scout reports, the situation in the Southwest Three Provinces is becoming increasingly dire.

The Demon Race has allied with local bandits, engaging in arson, murder, and looting, committing all sorts of evil deeds.

For a time, the people were living in despair.

Bleached bones littered the field, blood flowed into rivers.

The imperial envoy to the south was captured by rebels.

The defending generals of counties along the way either surrendered or fled.

The vigor of Great Zhou has been completely shattered.

The whole country is in a state of alarm.

Hearts are anxious, the wind echoes like cranes.

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, Alina, locked in fierce battle, remains unaware of all this.

"Bastards, how dare you harm the soldiers of Great Zhou!"

The female general, eyes bloodshot with rage, strikes swiftly with her blade.

Unstoppable in her path, none can withstand her.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of elite demons lay dead.

Victory seems almost within reach.

However, in that critical moment.

An eerie voice suddenly echoed above the battlefield.

"General Alina, isn’t it quite the encounter."

The newcomer, dressed in a black robe, exudes a murderous aura.

It was... King Asura!

"King Asura?! You fiend, causing destruction throughout Great Zhou, yet you dare to appear before me?"

Alina turned pale, clutching her sword tighter.

Her brows furrowed in anger, killing intent surges forth.

"Hehe... Destroy you? You overestimate yourself."

King Asura laughed sinisterly, with a dismissive tone.

"If you want to blame someone, blame your weak Human Race!"

"With weakness comes a price!"

"Alina, do you plead guilty?"

Before the words were finished, King Asura suddenly attacked.

A demon claw aimed directly at Alina’s face.

"Stop!"

In the nick of time, an authoritative shout rang out.

Golden light broke through the air, exploding like thunder.

Instantly, the world changed color.

The battlefield fell silent, not a sound to be heard.

"Who is it?!"

King Asura squinted, abruptly turning his head.

A young man, full of vigor, was walking forward.

His white robes, as pure as snow, his demeanor regal.

Exuding majesty, he inspires awe without anger.

"My lord!"

Seeing the newcomer, Alina felt a mix of joy and surprise.

Tears streamed forth uncontrollably.

"Subordinate... has awaited your arrival for a long time..."

"With my lord present, everything will be saved..."

Zhang Beixing looked at Alina, nodding slightly.

His gaze was sharp and unwavering.

As if he had foreseen all of this.

"Rest assured, as long as I’m here, no one can harm you!"

In an instant, the heavens trembled and the earth shook.

Countless beams of golden light pierced the sky.

Illuminating the earth, as bright as day.

"Ah——!!!"

From the Demon Race’s ranks came countless agonizing screams.

They attempted to counterattack, but were utterly crushed by the overwhelming power.

In an instant, the ground was covered with corpses.

No one dared to challenge them anymore.

"King Asura, nice to see you again."

Zhang Beixing spoke leisurely, yet calmly.

It appeared as if victory was assured.

King Asura turned pale, unable to hold back any longer.

"Zhang Beixing, you scoundrel!"

"I’ll fight you to the death!!!"

Before the words were finished, he suddenly lashed out.

His entire body engulfed in black energy, a fierce and terrible aura sweeping over the land.

"Ten Thousand Demons Devouring Heart! Kill for me!"

With a decisive shout, King Asura rapidly formed seals with his hands.

The next moment, countless dark demon claws burst forth.

Howling, they surged toward Zhang Beixing.
