Chapter 56: Advancement to Semi-Emperor, Enemy Arrives

Xiliang.

Zhenxi Palace.

Crown Prince Zhao Liuzhen looked dejected.

The same goes for everyone else.

Because they had already received the news that Zhao Tianba had been beheaded.

Zhao Tianba was beheaded, and the sky fell in Xiliang.

But no matter how sad he is, Zhao Tianba will not come back to life.

Huaixuan City.

"Your Majesty, there is urgent information coming from the capital." Liu Qingmei appeared with an anxious look on her face.

"What's the matter?" Su Jiutian put down the teacup.

"My Lord, the secret agents in the capital just sent a message that the empress already knows about Zhao Tianba's beheading. She already knows that we have two half-emperors, so she sent a message to the Futu Temple. Now, the Futu Temple has sent out three more half-emperor masters."

Liu Qingmei said: "Moreover, the empress also sent an order to the Beihai Legion, asking them to pass through Beiliang and head to Tianlang Pass to cut off our retreat."

"North Sea Legion?" Su Jiutian frowned.

I have memories of the North Sea Legion in my mind, and I know that this is an elite army that guards the coast of the North Sea and resists the strange beasts of the North Sea.

Similarly, there is also such a large army on the coast of the East China Sea.

"I didn't expect that the empress would dare to mobilize the North Sea Legion. Isn't she afraid that the endless strange beasts in the North Sea will crawl ashore." Su Jiutian said in a deep voice.

The Empress's mobilization of the North Sea Legion was indeed beyond his expectations.

But if you think about it carefully, it is acceptable.

Since he started his army, he has defeated the imperial guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty several times.

"My lord, the North Sea Corps has five million people and is very powerful. The empress only mobilized 300,000 people, as well as three half-emperors, ten martial saints, twenty half-saints, and fifty martial saints."

Liu Qingmei explained.

"The North Sea is very far away from Tianlang Pass. It will take at least a month for this army to arrive there." Su Jiutian asked, "Where is Zhou Hongan?"

"My lord, Zhou Hongan's marching speed is not fast. He has not yet reached Wensheng City. It will take more than a month to reach Huaixuan City." Liu Qingmei replied.

Su Jiutian frowned slightly when he heard this.

It would take the Beihai Legion more than a month to reach Tianlang Pass, and Zhou Hongan more than a month to reach Huaixuan City, so he could not defeat them one by one.

"As a last resort, we have to give up Tianlang Pass temporarily and take it back after killing Zhou Hongan." Su Jiutian said in a deep voice.

Time passed, and more than twenty days had passed in the blink of an eye.

"System, open the subordinate panel."

"Host: Su Jiutian!"

"Race: Human!"

"Physique: Killing God Physique!"

"Cultivation: Peak of the Semi-Saint Realm!"

"Kung Fu: None!"

"Magic weapon: none!"

"Mount: Netherworld Dragon"

"Mystical Powers: Free and Easy Body Movement, Three God-Slaying Swords, Six Meridians Divine Sword!"

"Luck value: 1050 million points!"

"Sign-in opportunities: 0 times (Saint-level sign-in)!"

"Characters signed in: Zhao Yun, Yuan Zuozong, Jiang Wei, Cheng Yaojin, Liu Qingmei, Gao Shun, Qi Jiguang, Lin Pingzhi, Qin Pojia, Gongsun Zan, Yue Fei, Qin Qiong, Yi Jifeng, Yuwen Chengdu, Meng Huo, Ding Chunqiu, Ren Woxing, Cao Chun, Zhang Fei, Luo Yi.

"Sign-in Corps (Organizations): Great Snow Dragon Cavalry (Main General Yuan Zuozong), Black Armor Army (Main General Cheng Yaojin), Drizzle (Leader Liu Qingmei), Xianzhen Camp (Leader Gao Shun), Qi Family Army (Main General Qi Jiguang), Personal Guard Camp (Leader Qin Pojia), White Horse Volunteers (Main General Gongsun Zan), Beiwei Army (Main General Yue Fei), Tang Imperial Army (Main General Qin Qiong), Fiery Barbarian Bull (No Leader), Southern Barbarian Army (Leader Meng Huo), Tiger and Leopard Cavalry (General Cao Chun), Shu Kingdom Army (General Zhang Fei)!"

"The total luck value has reached 10.5 million points, and the realm has successfully entered the peak of the semi-saint realm."

Su Jiutian looked at his attribute panel and nodded with satisfaction. The reason for this was naturally because after Ren Woxing successfully destroyed Xiaoyao Sect, he joined forces with the returning Luo Yi to destroy Hunyuan Sect, one of the twelve sects.

"System, Emperor-level sign-in!"

“Ding! Consume 10 million points of luck to perform an emperor-level sign-in… Start signing in… Signing in!”

"Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations to the host for signing in and obtaining a Half-Emperor Promotion Card!"

Note: Using the Half-Emperor Promotion Card, one can upgrade a Martial Saint to the Half-Emperor.

“Although I didn’t sign in to obtain a Half-Emperor, after using the Half-Emperor Promotion Card, I will be able to have one more Half-Emperor under my command. In this way, with three Half-Emperors, we will not be afraid of Zhou Hongan’s eight Half-Emperors.” Su Jiutian said in a low voice with a smile on his face.

A few days later, Luo Yi, Ren Woxing, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wei and others returned.

"I pay my respects to my Lord!"

In the yard, everyone half-knelt on the ground and saluted at the same time.

"Thank you for your hard work, no need to be polite."

Su Jiutian looked at everyone and spoke with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Everyone thanked him and stood up.

Su Jiutian's eyes swept across the generals one by one, and finally fell on Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was the first warrior he signed in. His initial realm was that of a semi-saint. Later, he relied on the Martial Saint Promotion Card to advance to the Great Perfection of Martial Saint.

Su Jiutian also decided to let Zhao Yun use the Half-Emperor Realm Promotion Card that he signed in a few days ago.

Feeling Su Jiutian's gaze, Zhao Yun stood up, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, do you have something to tell me?"

Su Jiutian shook his head slowly, and then said: "The royal teacher of the Great Zhou Dynasty will arrive in Huaixuan City soon. They have eight semi-emperors, many martial saints, and semi-saints."

"With our current strength, it is impossible to defeat them."

Everyone knew about this news, and there was no surprise when they heard Su Jiutian say it.

No matter how many enemies there are, I am not afraid.

Su Jiutian continued: "So, in order to win, I plan to raise your realm, Zilong, to the semi-emperor realm."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals' eyes lit up.

If Zhao Yun's realm reaches the semi-emperor realm, he will have three semi-emperors on his side and will not be afraid of the enemy's eight semi-emperors.

"System, use the Half-Emperor Promotion Card on Zhao Yun." Su Jiutian ordered in his mind.

"Ding! The Half-Emperor Promotion Card was successfully used on Zhao Yun!"

As the system prompt sounded in his mind, Su Jiutian noticed that Zhao Yun, who was about to speak, was shocked all over.

Zhao Yun felt a vast force appear out of nowhere in his body, quickly flowing through his limbs and bones, and quickly merging with his own strength.

This power is much greater than the power when he first entered the realm of Martial Saint.

"boom!"

The next moment, a roar erupted from Zhao Yun's body, and at the same time, a powerful aura belonging to the Half-Emperor Realm spread out.

Zhao Yun's realm has successfully entered the semi-emperor realm.

Ren Woxing and Luo Yi moved their minds and released their own aura, compressing the semi-emperor aura emitted by Zhao Yun within a certain range.

At this time, Zhao Yun's realm had rapidly surpassed the middle, late, and peak stages of the Semi-Emperor Realm and reached the great perfection of the Semi-Emperor Realm.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and half-knelt on the ground: "Thank you very much, my Lord."

"Zilong, there's no need to be so polite." Zhao Yun stood up and helped him up.

At this time, Liu Qingmei appeared, clasped her fists and said, "My lord, Zhou Hongan has arrived a hundred miles outside the city."

"It's finally here. We have wiped out the Great Zhou's imperial guards once again. I wonder what the empress's expression will be." Su Jiutian said with a chuckle.

Then, he led a group of generals to the city wall.
