My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

The Ghost Spider Devil Emperor's expression stiffened as he noticed the change in the aura of the Duke of the State, his body suddenly rigidifying. In those eyes that had always been lofty and brimming with confidence, for the first time, uncertainty and despair began to show.

"How can you still have strength to spare!?"

"You've battled with the two of us for so long, and yet you were still holding back!?"

The Ghost Spider Devil Emperor couldn't believe it. The Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, had managed to keep some tricks up his sleeve while fighting both Devil Emperors.

How could he dare?

To what extent had Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan's strength really reached?

Both the Ghost Spider Devil Emperor and the Soul Devouring Devil Emperor beside him were visibly shaken.

Exchanging a glance, they were already tempted to turn tail and run.

As they were about to turn and flee.

Suddenly, a loud boom emanated from the walls of North City below.

One of the gates collapsed thunderously.

Seeing this, the Ghost Spider Devil Emperor, his face marked with mysterious black patterns, was first stunned, then his visage lit up with wild joy.

"The gate has collapsed!"

The Soul Devouring Devil Emperor exclaimed with delight, "How did it collapse!?"

The Ghost Spider Devil Emperor shook his head, a slight smile already spreading at his lips, "I don't know, it seems to be the doing of North City's own people. Although I don't know what happened, it doesn't matter."

"Now all we need to do is tie down this Duke of the State in front of us!"

The Ghost Spider Devil Emperor and the Soul Devouring Devil Emperor had been planning to flee, but they were overjoyed to see one of North City's gates suddenly fall. This gave them the will to fight again.

If they could just hold back the Duke of the State, once the Demon Beasts flooded into North City, the Demon Beasts, outnumbering the Northern Expedition Army within, would not need much time to completely flatten North City and the army.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan also noticed the commotion inside North City, his eyes narrowing slightly, his brow furrowing.

"It seems Li Baxun still couldn't hold off Qin Beifeng. Qin Beifeng's talent in Martial Cultivation is not inferior to mine, it even slightly surpasses mine."

"Given time, his achievements won't be lesser than mine. Li Baxun losing to him is to be expected."

"Qin Beifeng destroying the gate is only his first step. Guanger is still in his hands, what will he do next?"

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan muttered to himself, a hint of agitation rising unexpectedly within his usually calm heart.

Cheng Guang had already informed him that Qin Beifeng was very likely the Spy within the Northern Expedition Army. He hadn't believed it, and his doubts had made him hesitate to act against Qin Beifeng.

If he had just detained Qin Beifeng from the start, and later after the great battle was over, even if it was a misunderstanding, he could have just explained and released him.

How did it come to this point?

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan now regretted his hesitance, but there was no turning back. He had to deal with the Devil Emperor first, then face Qin Beifeng afterwards.

Before then, he couldn't let Qin Beifeng make another move.

Otherwise, even if he repelled the Devil Emperor, North City might still not be saved.

Realizing this, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan made a swift decision, sending a message to the senior officers of the Northern Expedition Army who were fighting the swarm of Demon Beasts and Demon Kings, ordering them to confront Qin Beifeng.

While these officers might not be as powerful as Qin Beifeng, the difference wasn't huge, and they could suppress him with their numerical advantage.

The only trouble was, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan himself would have to bear even more pressure.

Without the Northern Expedition Army's officers to share the burden.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan was now facing not only two Devil Emperors but also the surrounding multitude of Demon Kings.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan took a deep breath, without a moment's hesitation, he charged towards the Ghost Spider Devil Emperor and the Soul Devouring Devil Emperor who stood suspended in air not far away.

"Come, fight!"

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, alone, rushed into the endless sea of Demon Beasts.

A blinding flash passed by, the sky darkened, and the air within hundreds of miles exploded with the sound of bursting due to the terrifying force it couldn't withstand.

In just a moment, a rain of blood descended from the sky.

Below, as one of North City's gates was destroyed by Qin Beifeng, the Demon Beasts surrounding the city, seeing an opening, began to rush madly towards it.

The soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army on the ramparts, already barely able to cope, still bravely headed for the fallen gate.

Their flesh and blood became the gates that fended off the innumerous outer Demon Beasts.

Atop the walls, debris lay scattered.

Li Baxun, gasping for air and exhausted, leaned against the wall, his gaze fixed on Qin Beifeng.

"Old Qin, it seems you're still one step ahead."

"I am not your equal."

Li Baxun said, his once vigorous Qi and Blood now showing signs of waning due to the excessive force he used.

Qin Beifeng shook his head, speaking indifferently, "It's no surprise you lost to me this time."

"You were already in a worse condition than me, and you should have foreseen this outcome."

"Li Baxun, back then you killed many of Great Chu's hundred generals, and today, by killing you, I'm settling our past scores. I won't touch your descendants."

Just as Qin Beifeng was about to strike Li Baxun's head with a palm, he suddenly sensed something and looked up to the sky.

In the sky, the senior officers of the Northern Expedition Army who had just been fighting alongside the Demon Beasts and Demon Kings were now dropping down from the heavens, charging towards Qin Beifeng himself.
