Chapter 2645: Shadow Group Revealed
Loud exclamations rippled through the battlefield. The abrupt twist in the situation had shocked everyone. Ordinary soldiers wouldn't understand the difference in the cultivation levels of both sides, but they could still feel the immense pressure the four dukes had exerted in that instant. Even the strongest expert in their respective armies wouldn’t stand a chance against entities of that level. It would take an army on an open field to subdue such an opponent.
And yet, the regent had crushed all four of them at once?
The imperial soldiers weren't too surprised, as they had previously witnessed Zu An’s prowess in the capital. They cheered in delight at his feat.
The rebel soldiers, however, were mostly from other provinces. They had heard rumors, but they'd thought they were exaggerated, especially with the kings downplaying Zu An’s strength. This sight crushed their morale. How were they supposed to fight someone so unbelievably powerful?
Even Bi Linglong was dumbstruck. She'd been worried when the four dukes emanated auras surpassing even Zhao Han’s. While she had always known her lover was formidable, the latter appeared to have gotten far stronger in the past few years.
But Yu Rui is from the Yu clan. Won’t this put Madam Yu in a tough spot?
King Yan was flabbergasted. When he saw how strong the four dukes were, he felt both envy and relief. He'd thought that if they combined their prowess, the four would perhaps able to take down Zu An. He hadn’t expected such an outcome.
At that instant, he doubted the decades he had spent cultivating. What’s the point of cultivating when people like Zu An can just crush us at a whim?
But when he recalled how he had ruled with unquestioned authority in his fief, he realized he wasn't the incompetent one. It was this Zu fellow who was inhuman!
Zhao Han had been the dominant power of his era, but now, Zu An was proving to be far stronger than that.
