Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 434 - 252: Head West to Hear the Morning Bells and Evening Drums, Mount the Horse and Slay the Enemy Ahead

```

Li Chonghuan, treading on auspicious clouds, and Wushang, riding a Qilin, battled fiercely, their skirmish extending for tens of thousands of miles.

And behind them, their armies clashed continually in combat, with Wushang pursuing and relentlessly staying on Li Chonghuan’s heels.

Each had nearly seven thousand troops under their command, with little difference in number.

Compared to the previous stalemate of occupying cities, the open-field battle greatly accelerated the death rate of Cultivators.

As they charged onward, they waged a ferocious war.

Just before they reached the Sumeru Palace, they suddenly noticed the palace vanish and fly westward.

Li Chonghuan’s expression tightened, "Damn, Taiyi is going to complete the renewal of the Undying Dragon Cavalry."

Meanwhile, on the western battlefield, rivers of blood flowed across the ground.

The mythical creatures revealed their True Bodies, resembling a demonic dance as the Demon Summoning Banner swayed and demon energy enveloped the heavens and earth.

Xu Yaofeng swung his blade, beheading a Da Yan soldier, and turned to look at the distant ancient dragon, the ground before him strewn with corpses.

Chen Qing and Ji Dang’s armies possessed mounts, galloping and killing along the way, having long since lost track of their destinations, perhaps thousands of miles away, or even tens of thousands.

Xu Yaofeng, naturally, would not let the ancient dragon escape, as the dragon now commanded just over a thousand able fighters.

Despite suffering heavy losses from Ji Dang’s earlier assault, Xu Yaofeng gathered over five thousand warriors, granting him a considerable advantage to resume his hunt for the ancient dragon.

And eight thousand miles away, Chen Qing and Ji Dang flew on their mounts, as their Dragon Sparrows and Shaking Mountains clashed endlessly in hand to hand combat, causing a nearby mountain to collapse instantly.

Boom!

Another exchange, and the Dragon Sparrow in Chen Qing’s hand shattered, his Life Span utterly depleted and gone.

Chen Qing grabbed Taiyue once more, resuming combat with Ji Dang.

A few dozen strikes later, Ji Dang’s Shaking Mountain exploded with a thunderous bang.

Ji Dang opened his hand, a lightning spear emerged, and he resumed the battle with Chen Qing.

Around them, the Shen Sha Army cast shadows across the region, their silhouettes scattering within, while the Dragon Cavalry regrouped, charging forward.

Earlier, with the hundred and fifty Undying Dragon Cavalry only at the early Ghost Face Realm, the Dragon Cavalry failed to gain an advantage and suffered significant losses.

Chen Qing and Ji Dang were both pure Body Cultivators, their magic all auxiliary to Martial Arts.

Their duel, with entwining sword glows and spear shadows, appeared lacking in extravagance.

But only their opponents could truly fathom their formidable strength.

Every sword strike held the power of Divine Power Skills, combined with their terrifying speed and strength, capable of laying waste to heaven and earth.

Seeing the Dragon Cavalry’s casualties nearing a hundred and fifty riders, Chen Qing glanced back, spotting the Sumeru Palace encompassing the area.

Chen Qing seized the Sumeru Palace single-handedly, smacking it onto the ground, encompassing all the Dragon Cavalry within.

Chen Qing sat on the ground, panting heavily, "Xuan Mang, quickly bring the Dragon Cavalry’s fallen corpses!"

Yu Qing clearly understood his fate, stepping forward, "Lord Wen, with Lord Wen casting the Undying Decree in the Sumeru Palace, Ji Dang will certainly flee. Allow us to pursue him and hold Ji Dang!"

Another member of the Undying Dragon Cavalry spoke, "Indeed, even in death, we should fall on the battlefield!"

Chen Qing nodded heavily, "Then break out of the city and fight!"

Yu Qing cupped his hands and laughed, "Gentlemen, I lead the charge!"

The Undying Dragon Cavalry raised their spears, "After this battle, my name shall be etched in history, the mere mention of Dragon Cavalry instilling dread in others!"

"Brothers, we go ahead!"

With this, the Undying Dragon Cavalry charged out of the gates, launching an assault on Ji Dang’s resting battleground.

Chen Qing had no time to waste either, approaching a corpse to enact the Undying Decree, meanwhile inquiring, "How many corpses?"

Xuan Mang replied, "Lord Wen, over two hundred have died in battle, but more than forty were annihilated by the Shen Sha Army!"

Chen Qing nodded, "It’s urgent now, so never mind that, quickly begin Soul Summoning!"

Two hours later, the Undying Dragon Cavalry battling within Ji Dang’s formation outside the city dissipated into dust, while a new Undying Dragon Cavalry had awakened and returned from death within the Sumeru Palace.

Chen Qing sat amidst the Dragon Cavalry, organizing tactics, "Listen, this battle, the Undying Dragon Cavalry will lead the assault, with the rest of the Dragon Cavalry in support, attack and assist whilst doing everything to protect yourselves!"

"We are all Undying Bodies; even if we kill one Shen Sha Army per day, we will ultimately annihilate them all!"

"Is that clear?"

Everyone responded, "We understand!"

Chen Qing stood and shouted, "Good! Exit the city again and annihilate the Shen Sha Army. If we win this battle, the Death Realm will belong to us!"

"For the fallen, I guarantee a descendant will surely attain the Mystic Gate Realm!"

Chen Qing charged out of the city once more and, after a few miles, suddenly noticed Zuo Chuan nearby. Chen Qing shouted angrily, "Zuo Chuan, didn’t I say the Undying Dragon Cavalry would lead the assault, why are you at the forefront?"

Zuo Chuan replied awkwardly, "Lord Wen, I am unskilled and have already died once."

Chen Qing seethed with rage, "Ji Dang, I will kill you!"

After pursuing for dozens of miles, Chen Qing caught up with Ji Dang once more, and the battle reignited.

However, the difference now was that the Undying Dragon Cavalry was truly undying, every member at the peak of the Ghost Face Realm, each possessing a spirit Gu.
