The martial arts arena is located at the center of the Bing Family Star System, on an incredibly massive planet.
When Xue An and his group arrived, several major families were already present.
As the soldiers of the Yue Clan landed, people in the distance looked over and began to whisper among themselves.
"Aren’t those people from the Yue Clan?"
"Yes! The Yue Clan has arrived!"
"Tsk tsk, I heard they have a new Commander-in-Chief, who has quite a few tactics, but why does he look like just a wet-behind-the-ears kid to me?"
"Haha, just a minor role at the level of an Immortal Venerable, how strong could he be?"
The crowd buzzed with discussion, some even speaking loudly on purpose, letting their voices carry over.
Yue Junze could not help but show an angry face.
"These guys are truly detestable!"
With that, he was about to step forward to argue.
Xue An waved his hand, "Don’t mind what they say; everything will be spoken with strength!"
Yue Junze had already developed great respect for Xue An, so upon hearing this, he immediately stopped in his tracks, merely glaring angrily at those people in the distance.
Xue An then addressed the Yue Clan soldiers, "Since it hasn’t started yet, take the chance to conserve your strength!"
The crowd nodded, then stood silently, beginning to accumulate their energy.
Gradually, the murmurs ceased.
For by now, the murderous aura emitted by the Yue Clan soldiers was almost tangible.
This caused many to slightly change their expressions.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the martial arts arena, a general who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation suddenly opened his eyes, and turned to look towards Xue An.
"Such powerful military killing aura, it seems this year’s martial arts event will be interesting!"
His words were full of excitement.
And behind him was a highly formidable elite unit, with a large flag bearing two ancient seal characters, Zhongli, erected in front of the team.
The Zhongli Family!
One of the twelve Branch Veins of the Yue Clan, and at least ranked in the top three in terms of strength.
This general was none other than Zhongli Wuwang, the Commander-in-Chief of the Zhongli Family.
Zhongli Wuwang held great renown within the Bing Family, due to his being a thorough military fanatic.
To what extent was his fanaticism?
Unless it involved soldiers, he would absolutely not come down from the mountains!
In his words, anything unrelated to soldiers was a waste of life.
Just as Zhongli Wuwang was becoming increasingly excited and eager to try his hand,
another troop descended from the sky.
The arrival of this group caused a stir among the crowd.
Because the newcomers were actually an all-female army.
No doubt about it!
A force composed purely of women.
Leading them was a woman garbed in resplendent armor, crowned with a phoenix helmet.
This woman was tall, and clad in armor, appeared even more heroic and imposing, lifting the face guard of the phoenix helmet to reveal a commanding and handsome visage.
Particularly striking were her almond-shaped eyes, truly eye-catching.
"It’s Gu Wangya, the Gu Clan has arrived!" someone murmured.
The Gu Clan was also one of the twelve Branch Veins of the Bing Family, ranked in the middle-upper tier in strength.
Crucially, the Gu Clan was a family dominated by women.
Hence, their soldiers formed a female army.
Gu Wangya was the most outstanding figure within the Gu Clan.
As the only female general in the Bing Family, Gu Wangya, whether in personal strength or in leading troops, was on par with any man.
This was why she earned the respect of many.
Only Xue An remained silent, standing quietly in place, waiting for the martial arts to commence.
Because before coming, he had already said everything that needed to be said, and all preparations were complete.
Everything was ready; only the east wind was missing!
Just then, the ground beneath trembled ever so slightly.
In an instant, a thin layer of mist spread, enveloping everyone within.
And then, an ancient and desolate voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
"The martial arts begins!"
With these words,
the mist before them swiftly dissipated, but the surroundings had completely transformed.
This was a desolate swamp.
The other family members had vanished; in the vast swamp, only Xue An and the Yue Clan soldiers remained.
Xue An took a deep breath, the damp air with a hint of stench rushing into his lungs.
He spoke slowly, "Act according to the plan!"
At his command, the soldiers immediately dispersed; some took responsibility for maintaining watch in all directions, while others began to scout ahead.
Everything was orderly and disciplined.
But as they had only advanced a few dozen miles, suddenly the puddles beneath began to bubble and slightly shake.
At the same time, the lookout’s alarm sounded loudly.
"Enemy attack!"
Without needing Xue An’s command, the Yue Clan soldiers swiftly transformed into a defensive formation with astonishing speed.
And just as the formation took shape, the enemy’s shadow finally appeared in the distance.
Countless giant lizards waded through the water, charging straight at Xue An’s group.
These gargantuan lizards stood at a height of four to five meters, flicking their crimson tongues, and their breathing exhaled a dense green poison, making just a single glance at them spine-chilling.
