Chapter 25: The Battle is Over

When the human warriors saw Jiang Xing kill Yunshan with just two moves, they were shocked and immediately lost their fighting spirit. If a Dou Zong warrior like Yunshan from Lian Yunshan was defeated in two moves, how could they survive even one?

At that moment, these powerful humans had only one thought in their minds: run!

And they didn't just think it—they acted on it. The human warriors broke away from their battles with the snake-men and fled as fast as they could, using their fighting spirit to form wings to speed their escape.

Seeing their king kill the enemy's Dou Zong master so quickly and frighten the remaining humans into retreat, the snake people were ecstatic. They shouted in unison, "The king is mighty! The king is mighty!" For a moment, the morale of the snake people surged.

When the Great Elder witnessed Jiang Xing kill Yunshan and saw the morale boost among the snake people, she decisively ordered her forces to go out of the city and meet the enemy head-on. The alliance army's morale was shattered by Yunshan's death, and they were unable to withstand the fierce assault of the snake people.

With the tribal leaders of the Snake People joining the battlefield, the situation quickly became one-sided. The alliance army suffered heavy casualties.

After killing Yunshan, Jiang Xing swiftly approached the seven human Dou Wang. The seven Dou Wangs were horrified when they saw Jiang Xing flying towards them. If Yunshan, a Dou Zong, was killed in two moves by this young Dou Zong, how could they, mere Dou Wangs, hope to survive even one?

Without hesitation, the seven Dou Wangs fled in different directions, silently agreeing to split up.

Jiang Xing was speechless. Why did they scatter again?

With no other choice, Jiang Xing chased after the closest Dou Wang. It didn't take long for him to catch up. When the Dou Wang felt Jiang Xing approaching, an indescribable fear surged in his heart. Before he could react, Jiang Xing struck him with a lightning-fast fire attack.

Dou Wang No. 1, dead!

After killing this Dou Wang, Jiang Xing chased after another and killed him in the same manner.

Dou Wang No. 2, dead!

By the time he had finished off the second Dou Wang, the remaining Dou Wangs had already run a considerable distance away. Jiang Xing considered whether to pursue them but decided against it. Instead, he returned to help the snake-men deal with the remaining humans.

As he turned back, he noticed that the Dou Wang warriors, who had been fighting the snake people, were also fleeing in different directions.

Jiang Xing was stunned. What the hell? How could they run so fast? I'm just a one-star Dou Zong. Do they really need to be so afraid? Maybe they could beat me together?

If those warriors knew what Jiang Xing was thinking, they would have surely replied, "You killed Yunshan, also a one-star Dou Zong, in two moves and then killed two Dou Wangs with one strike each. Why on earth would we fight you?"

Jiang Xing had originally intended to go back and instantly kill the Douhuang-level Youhai Jiao Beast, but he found that it had already retreated back to the alliance army.

Jiang Xing didn't feel threatened by the alliance army; he just thought it was too far away and unnecessary to pursue.

So, Jiang Xing rushed towards the nearest Dou Wang again.

The Youhai Jiao Beast had sensed something was wrong when Yunshan was killed, so it quickly retreated. It went to Yao Ye, saying anxiously, "Princess, the Snake People have a very powerful Dou Zong. We are no match for him. Let's go!"

Yao Ye watched from a distance as Jiang Xing chased down a Dou Wang warrior from their Jia Ma Empire and killed him instantly with one strike. Her body felt weak, and she almost couldn't stand.

"Lost? How could we lose?"

Seeing that Yao Ye was in bad shape and sensing the urgency of the situation, the Youhai Jiao Beast grabbed Yao Ye onto its back and fled.

The Youhai Jiao flew for a while, and just as they were about to leave the army, Yao Ye suddenly jumped off its back and turned back.

"Princess, where are you going? Princess!" the Youhai Jiao shouted, but Yao Ye was determined to return.

Yao Ye could not endure such humiliation. Even if she died on the battlefield, she was unwilling to be a deserter.

"No, I can't run away and disgrace the honor of the royal family. If the Gama Empire is truly to perish, I am willing to be the first to die for my country."

Hearing Yao Ye's impassioned words, the Youhai Jiao Beast had no choice but to follow her and protect her.

When they returned to the battlefield, they found that the elders of the Yunlan Sect had either been killed or had fled after seeing Yunshan's death. Now, only two Dou Wang warriors from the Jia Ma royal family were still holding on.

The situation was dire, and Yao Ye had returned only to command the remaining forces to retreat and minimize losses.

Yao Ye took command at the front of the army, organizing a retreat with herself as the rear guard. Thanks to her efforts, the alliance army stopped panicking and began a more orderly retreat, fighting as they withdrew.

After killing the Dou Wangs who had escaped, Jiang Xing returned to see Yao Ye commanding the scene. He couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration, thinking, What a wonderful woman. Perhaps this is what it means for women to be as strong as men!

Then, Jiang Xing rushed down and killed her.

In an attempt to protect Yao Ye, the Youhai Jiao Beast and the remaining two Dou Wangs stood in front of her, but they couldn't stop Jiang Xing's attack and were soon killed by him.

With all three of her protectors dead, Yao Ye couldn't escape her fate either.

As long as Yao Ye was killed, victory in this war would be assured.

Jiang Xing admired her, but admiration was just that—it couldn't be a reason not to kill her.

Seeing the eldest princess dead, the soldiers of the alliance army completely lost hope and fled in despair.

The Snake People, who had won a decisive victory, didn't let the opportunity slip by. The Great Elder immediately ordered a pursuit to capitalize on their triumph.

With no one left in the alliance army strong enough to resist the Snake People's tribal leaders, the battle was soon over. The survivors were either killed or fled, and those who escaped posed no further threat.

The Great Elder was thrilled. She had expected to win, but she hadn't anticipated it would be this easy.

The Great Elder understood the significance of their success. The Snake People lived in harsh conditions, whereas the Gama Empire offered good living conditions and fertile land. After this war, with the strongest members of the Yunlan Sect and the Jia Ma Royal Family dead, the Gama Empire would no longer be able to resist the Snake People.

The Snake People could now find land suitable for their survival in the Gama Empire, or even rule the empire!

Jiang Xing also guessed what the Great Elder was thinking and said, "Great Elder, I promised your queen that I would find you a habitat suitable for your survival. Where do you think is the best place for the Snake People to settle?"

Jiang Xing's meaning was clear. Since the royal family of the Gama Empire and its most powerful sect had been destroyed, this was the perfect time to fulfill his promise to the Queen.

The Great Elder hesitated for a moment and then said, "The Yunlan Sect!"
