The skyrocketing military exploits have spread across the entire map!

After the Dragon Speaker reached level 100, the skill coefficients had increased to a level comparable to Valkyrie Malenina. Coupled with a series of status effects and the bonuses from the new weapon, it could be said that its attack power had been stacked to a terrifying level.

Every phantom Dragon Sword could instantly kill a Tier 7 elite-level entity.

And the number of Dragon Swords here could be described as endless, with a coverage area reaching one kilometer.

These Blood Legion soldiers had absolutely no chance to block them.

With one skill, at least eighty percent of the one-hundred-thousand-strong Blood Legion army was wiped out by it.

The remaining twenty thousand were also completely slaughtered within a short time under the coordination of it and the dragon Seraphis.

Aside from Assam and the Dragon Speaker, other hero-level powerhouses in the territory also began to fight.

Green Snake Lana, Blood Spider Queen Hilda, Braum Ironwall, as well as Andrew, Renice, and others.

They each found a Blood Legion army led by a chiliarch, with enemy numbers all exceeding ten thousand.

However, even though they were alone, once the battle began, the Blood Legion troops crumbled in a short time, as if facing immortal monsters one after another.

In no time, these core combat personnel of Cao Xing, along with those warrior troops, opened dozens of battlefields on the Gale Snowfield.

The Green Snake dances with the White Snake!

The Blood Spider Queen is an army unto herself!

The Behemoth is slaughtering crazily on the battlefield!

The four-armed giant, wielding dual blades and a giant shield, brings nightmares to the enemies!

The female archer from Ascalon transforms into a deadly grim reaper!

The Mammoth leads the herd to trample and destroy everything!

These hero-level powerhouses under Cao Xing begin to reveal their unrivaled sharpness!

As his subordinates continuously wiped out large numbers of the Blood Legion, Cao Xing's War Merits also began to skyrocket at a crazy speed!

[Your territory member: Assam has won a battle. This time, a total of 10,000 Blood Legion soldiers were killed, gaining 67,854 War Merits, and gaining Experience Points: 65,780,000 (Pale Tree Blessing)]

[Your territory member: Bo Jie, Sun Chaser, led the legion to win a battle. This time, a total of 5,000 Blood Legion soldiers were killed, gaining 38,700 War Merits, and gaining Experience Points: 41,250,000 (Pale Tree Blessing)]

[Your territory member: Dragon Speaker Bing Lan has won a large-scale battle. This time, a total of 100,000 Blood Legion soldiers were killed, gaining 116,519 War Merits, and gaining Experience Points: 148,000,000 (Pale Tree Blessing)]

[Your—] System notifications were scrolling crazily.

Less than an hour into the battle, his War Merits had directly exceeded two million!

Cao Xing, who was flying in the air, gradually revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Good, good, good. At this rate, at least one million War Merits will be gained per hour."

"That is to say, at least ten million War Merits per day, and then I can exchange for a Relic Chest!"

This is the strength of Cao Xing's territory right now; it can completely sweep the entire map!

Therefore, his War Merits were rising rapidly.

At this efficiency, even emptying the War Merit shop is just around the corner!

Thinking of this, he felt even more expectant.

Then, he took Liu Muxue and continued to fly at an altitude of three thousand meters.

His gaze swept around, searching for the location of the Blood Legion, and then launched a thunderous strike!

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly discovered a special target.

About three hundred kilometers away from them, there was a relatively large Giant City.

The diameter of the Giant City was about five or six kilometers, and the city walls were towering.

Inside, there were neat streets and a large population.

It was precisely Merlind City.

However, this city was now surrounded by the Blood Legion, packed tightly.

A large number of Blood Legion troops were crazily attacking the city gates, and even more Blood Legion soldiers had transformed into beast-like existences, starting to climb the city walls, which were dozens of meters high, with their bare hands!

Cao Xing quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind.

"Merlind City seems to have been targeted by the Blood Legion. With the defensive strength of this city, it won't last long."

"This Giant City has had a population of hundreds of thousands for many years. If they are all slaughtered, it will provide the Blood Legion with a large amount of energy."

"At that time, perhaps a new Teleportation Pillar will appear!"

Through his conversation with the Old King, Cao Xing already knew.

These Teleportation Pillars are the channels connecting planes.

When the number of Teleportation Pillars increases, it will disrupt the rule barriers of this world.

Those guys locked in the Abyssal Land, or other planes, can take this opportunity to crawl through.

Therefore, what Cao Xing needs to do is to destroy more Teleportation Pillars as quickly as possible, not giving those guys a chance to come out!

"Muxue, let's go over there now."

"Okay."

The wings behind the two flapped, and they simultaneously entered a high-speed sprint state.

They charged forward with an explosive speed exceeding 1500 meters per second!

The surrounding scenery retreated rapidly.

It took less than four minutes to arrive above Merlind City!

You have to know, when Cao Xing headed to Merlind City a few months ago, the round trip took an entire day.

Now, it only took three minutes!

This improvement could not be called anything but significant.

Meanwhile, the entire Merlind City had already entered a state of total war!

On the city walls, a large number of crossbowmen continuously pulled back their bowstrings, and arrows poured down like rain, shooting at the Blood Legion below.

Other soldiers were operating trebuchets, continuously raising the massive stone-throwing arms, emitting deafening roars.

"Boom! Boom!"

Massive stones fell into the Blood Legion, smashing them into meat paste.

The soldiers on the city walls gripped their weapons tightly, struggling to slash down the Blood Legion soldiers who were climbing up like vicious dogs.

However, a portion of the city wall defense line was breached; those Blood Legion troops rushed up and launched a crazy massacre.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Facing the blades of the Blood Legion, these Merlind City soldiers had no ability to resist.

Blood sprayed, and severed limbs flew everywhere.

The sound of sharp swords tearing through bodies intertwined with the soldiers' roars; the entire battlefield was like a living hell!

An old acquaintance, Count Winston, was also fighting on the city wall, sword raised!

He continuously brandished sword energy, launching constant attacks against the Blood Legion in front.

As a Tier 5 commander, dealing with these Tier 5 Blood Legion soldiers should have been easy.

However, this guy seemed to be under some kind of weakness curse.

Every sword swing appeared weak and powerless, as if his energy had been drained.

Cao Xing naturally saw this scene from the air, and at the same time, he thought of that female succubus from before, his mouth twitching.

"Damn it, you even dare to mess with a succubus? Now you know how tough it is, right?"

In just this short while, two Tier 7 chiliarchs rushed out from the Blood Legion.

They jumped onto the city wall together and then launched a crazy siege against Count Winston.

Two Tier 7 commanders fighting one Tier 5 commander was practically like a father disciplining his son.

Sharp blades slashed across the Count's armor, leaving behind shocking wounds!

Count Winston retreated steadily, looking like he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

In the city, a large number of civilians were currently hiding in their respective rooms, watching the battle situation on the city walls through their windows.

Seeing this scene, their eyes were filled with intense fear and anxiety.

In the hearts of these civilians, the Count had always been the most powerful existence in Merlind City, the guardian capable of suppressing all threats.

However, now, he was in imminent danger under the enemy's siege, and the entire city was at stake!

The female succubus in the crowd had flickering eyes; she seemed to have already decided on an escape route and was slowly walking toward a certain corner of the city.

Meanwhile, even more Blood Legion troops had rushed onto the city walls.

They were crazily slaughtering more soldiers.

Count Winston, from fighting two, was now besieged by even more Blood Legion troops.

There were more and more wounds on his body, and it looked like he was about to be slain!

Just at this moment, Cao Xing had already flown above them and reached attack range.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly entered the [Ice Spirit Soul] state with his staff again!

"Clatter!"

More than a dozen ice orbs descended from the sky like meteors, among which was the [Ice Breaking Flying Blade] he had released.

With Cao Xing's current attack power, each ice orb could deal tens of thousands in damage.

With so many ice orbs hitting, it would be at least hundreds of thousands in damage.

These two chiliarchs besieging Count Winston suddenly felt a strong sound of wind coming from behind.

At the same time, a deadly sense of crisis struck!

Their body's instinctual reaction made them want to roll on the spot to dodge these attacks.

But clearly, no matter how fast their speed was, it could not be faster than Cao Xing's attack speed.

"Pfft! Pfft, pfft!"

The ice balls struck their bodies, dealing terrifying amounts of damage! [-781,524!] [-679,651!] [-779,185!] [-598,162!] [-619,524!]

These two Tier 7 Centurions only had about three million HP. Having been focused by Cao Xing from behind, their bodies were instantly pierced by the ice balls.

Their HP was depleted in an instant, and they exploded into pools of bloody slush mixed with ice shards, dissipating on the spot.

One burst of attacks instantly killed two Tier 7 commanders. Although this included a powerful single-target skill like [Ice Breaking Flying Blade], it was enough to demonstrate Cao Xing's terrifying burst damage!

Count Winston had originally thought he was a dead man. When he suddenly saw the enemies explode in front of him, a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

Before he could react, he suddenly saw a four-winged angel charge into the Blood Legion, launching a fierce attack.

"Hum! Humming!" This four-winged angel brandished her holy sword, and every strike erupted with intense light!

A large number of Blood Legion soldiers were slaughtered on the spot by her!

Her immense strength far exceeded any powerhouse Count Winston had ever seen, perhaps only second to the King!

Cao Xing flew in mid-air, quickly scanning the current situation.

There were many in the Blood Legion besieging Merlind City, numbering around seventy thousand.

Most of these Blood Legion forces were concentrated in the South and North Gate areas.

"Muxue is already deployed at the North Gate, so I'll handle the South Gate."

"However, clearing them one by one is too slow. I'll just use a field-clearing spell!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing quickly descended, landing right at the foot of the wall of Merlind City!

The Blood Legion soldiers' attention was entirely focused on the battle in the air, so they didn't notice his arrival at all.

Cao Xing quickly raised his staff. After casting ten consecutive Ice Wall spells, a "ding" sound echoed in his ears.

[Ding! You have cast spells ten times consecutively. Ice Crystal Fury (Passive) has taken effect. The damage of your next spell is increased by 100%.]

At this moment, all the skills on Cao Xing's skill bar turned red.

He crouched down slightly and pressed both hands onto the ground!

The double-boosted [Ice Freeze Miles] was instantly released.

"Whoosh!" Intense cold air erupted from his hands.

The ground, stained with blood, was instantly frozen by the extreme cold, and covered in a thick layer of white frost!

This layer of frost began to spread forward at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, an icy path nearly 400 meters wide and 8 kilometers long appeared!

It engulfed at least thirty thousand Blood Legion soldiers.

They hadn't realized what was happening yet; they only felt the surrounding temperature drop sharply, and their movements became increasingly stiff.

The next moment, they saw ice spikes appearing all around them.

The number of these ice spikes was terrifying, filling almost every inch of space!

Then, the ice spikes suddenly erupted!

"Pfft! Pfft!" The ice spikes pierced through their bodies, and before the blood could spurt out, it was frozen solid by the extreme cold power.

Terrifying damage numbers appeared one after another. [-411,962!] [-491,701!] [-445,925!] [-430,962!] [-414,251!]

With the HP of these Tier 5 and 6 monsters, it was impossible for them to withstand Cao Xing's current damage output.

In an instant, all the monsters were wiped out!

Just then, another "ding" prompt sounded in his ears.

[Ding! This cast has triggered the Winter Wheel effect. The cooldown for [Ice Freeze Miles] has been reset!]

"Oh? It actually reset. Interesting!"

Cao Xing discovered that the effect attached to his robe had a fairly high probability of resetting skills, especially those large-scale ones.

Then, Cao Xing bent down again and pressed his hands onto the ground!

"Whoosh!" Another terrifying burst of cold air erupted, and another tens of thousands of the Blood Legion were taken out!

Cao Xing also gained seven or eight million in battle merit simultaneously.

With these two skills unleashed, the battle at the North Gate where Liu Muxue was located was also nearly over.

The Blood Legion besieging Merlind City had almost been wiped out by the two of them.

The remaining few stragglers stood there blankly, as if in a dream.

On the city wall, the group of soldiers had also witnessed what happened on both battlefields and subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

"Such—such terrifying power!"

"They actually annihilated tens of thousands of blood monsters using only the power of two people!"

"Yeah, and it only took such a short amount of time. What level of powerhouses are they?!"

"I have never seen such powerful existences in the Gale Snowfield. Could it be that His Majesty the King sent people to rescue us?"

At this moment, while they were talking, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue had already cleared out all the remaining Blood Legion forces.

There was even a Hero-level Centurion among them.

But obviously, facing their siege, this Centurion couldn't stir up any trouble.

Meanwhile, everyone also got a clear look at the two figures.

Apart from Liu Muxue, whose four snowy-white wings were flapping, there was also Cao Xing, who was wearing a robe and flying in mid-air.

In the crowd, a soldier suddenly remembered something.

With an uncertain expression, he said, "Don't you think this powerhouse looks like an Otherworld Lord?"

Hearing this, the other soldiers were slightly shocked, and then subconsciously shook their heads, saying, "This—that's impossible, right? How could there be such a powerful Otherworld Lord!"

"Wait a second, it really seems to be him. I've seen this person before!"

"What?!" A look of disbelief instantly appeared in the soldiers' eyes.

After all, in their cognition, Otherworld Lords were all a group of weak existences.

Even though those Otherworld Lords seemed to have become stronger recently, it was impossible for such a powerful existence to emerge!

However, the facts were right in front of them!

This Otherworld Lord, together with another four-winged angel, had swept away sixty or seventy thousand of the Blood Legion in a short amount of time!

Count Winston seemed to recognize this figure, and a look of uncertainty appeared in his eyes.

Then, he tentatively called out, "Lord Cao Xing?"

Hearing the voice, Cao Xing turned around and slowly flew onto the city wall.

With a faint smile on his face, he approached the Count, "Count Winston, long time no see."

Hearing Cao Xing speak, Count Winston looked as if he had seen a ghost!

"It really is you, Lord Cao Xing!"

"My God, it's only been two months. What on earth have you experienced to suddenly become so powerful?"

"Your current strength has far surpassed those Hero-level powerhouses in the royal palace!"

Many soldiers on the city wall also recognized him.

After all, Cao Xing had ridden a Mammoth into the city previously, an impression that could be said to be quite profound.

In the crowd, Jess, a merchant from the Woodpecker Chamber of Commerce, also heard the name Cao Xing.

"Lord Cao Xing—Hero-level?"

"Did I hear that correctly?"

You must know, he had only visited Cao Xing's territory not long ago.

How long had it been since then? Just over a month!

Now he was being told that this Otherworld Lord had not only saved the entire Merlind City but had even become a powerhouse that even Count Winston had to look up to. It felt like a dream.

Cao Xing did not offer much explanation and said directly, "Your Excellency Count, the Blood Legion at Merlind City has now been dealt with."

"Following this, there shouldn't be any other Blood Legion forces continuing to attack this city."

"If you have spare strength here, you can go support the battle situations in other areas."

Hearing the last sentence, Winston responded solemnly, "Yes, Lord Cao Xing!"

Now, he could be said to be obedient to Cao Xing's every word.

Although he had just been freed from the crisis of the Blood Legion, Winston still decided to immediately regroup and lead his troops to continue fighting!

After a pause, Count Winston said solemnly, "Thank you for your rescue this time, Lord Cao Xing!"

Having said that, he bowed and performed a solemn salute.

The entire Merlind City, including a large number of soldiers, saluted Cao Xing one after another.

A life-saving grace was worth this salute.

Cao Xing simply waved his hand.

The Wind Wings on his back flapped, and he flew into the sky again with Liu Muxue!

They needed to clear out the five million Blood Legion in the Gale Snowfield as quickly as possible; they didn't have any extra time to linger here.
