Xiao Fei, with the cooperation of Xiao Houzi, successfully captured a Supreme Realm toad using the yellow gourd.
"Fellow Daoist Tian Kui, please hold on for a moment longer."
Xiao Fei called out to General Tian Kui, then vanished from the battlefield with himself and the gourd.
The opposing crow and toad army suddenly had a Supreme Realm expert captured by Xiao Fei.
Looking around at the Golden Immortals beside him, one-third of them were also gone, all taken by the yellow gourd.
At this moment, except for the one three-legged Golden Crow with blood-red eyes, everyone else felt a desire to retreat.
After all, cultivation was not easy, and life was one's own.
Was it truly worth sacrificing their lives for a few immortal herbs on the other side?
At this moment, the crows and toads fighting were contemplating the meaning of life.
Carefully weighing whether life was more important or the immortal herbs were more valuable…
On the other side, Xiao Fei, carrying the gourd, reappeared in the Jianmu World and threw out Xiao Houzi, who was trapped inside the gourd.
"Greetings, Master Xiao!"
On a vast plain, 100,000 giant soldiers stood in neat formation. As they saw Xiao Fei, they all bowed in unison.
The armor on the giants rumbled with the movement of their limbs.
"Rise!"
After another series of rumbling sounds, the 100,000 giant soldiers straightened their bodies.
Han Yi and Han Er, as the main generals of the giant army, stood solemnly at the forefront of the army.
In fact, neither of them knew exactly how many soldiers they commanded; the number was too vast, far exceeding their calculations.
To reduce the difficulty for the giants when leading troops, Xiao Fei devised a method: establishing a structure for the 100,000 giant army.
The 100,000 giant soldiers were divided into 10 brigades, each with 10,000 men, and a brigade commander was appointed.
Han Yi and Han Er only needed to manage the five brigade commanders under each of them, instantly reducing the difficulty of commanding 100,000 men to simply counting to five.
With Han Yi and Han Er's level of education, they could manage the 10 major armies daily without needing to count on their fingers.
Below each brigade commander, 10 regimental commanders were appointed, each regiment with 1,000 men. Brigade commanders also only needed to manage 10 people.
The difficulty was not too high; those with slightly lower abilities could figure it out by counting on their fingers.
Everything else followed suit, with each giant needing to manage at most ten people, finally overcoming their inability to count.
"Soldiers are trained for a thousand days, to be used in one moment!"
"Today is the time for you to show your prowess!"
"Army, heed my command, follow me to battle!"
Xiao Fei roared and opened a portal, leading the giant army out of the Fifth World.
"Boom! Boom! Boom…"
Each giant was as tall and majestic as a mountain. Now, 100,000 giants marched in unison, each step causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
"Kill! Kill! Kill…"
The giants at the very front held large shields, forming an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron before the army, advancing slowly.
Through the gaps in the shields, pitch-black long spears extended, resembling a giant hedgehog.
To equip this 100,000-strong giant army, Xiao Fei had emptied his coffers, trading with Emperor Guiyi for a large amount of Dao materials.
These shields and spears, refined with Dao materials, were incredibly costly, but they were worth every penny, providing excellent combat effectiveness.
With these weapons, the giant soldiers possessed the capital to contend with Golden Immortals.
"Boom! Boom! Boom…"
The giant army, forming a shield wall, advanced steadily, directly blocking the connection between the two worlds and sealing the entrance.
A three-legged Golden Crow sprayed a mouthful of Sun True Fire at the shield wall. The wall of shields flashed with light, remaining completely unharmed.
A toad spat out its long tongue, attacking the shield wall. Unexpectedly, over a dozen long spears pierced its tongue simultaneously.
This toad was unlucky; before it could retract its tongue, it was forcibly dragged under the shield wall and impaled like a hedgehog.
These crows and toads, already losing their will to fight, were naturally happy to witness this scene.
One by one, they perfunctorily attacked the shield wall a few times, proving they had tried their best, and then ceased their assault.
Only the three-legged Golden Crow with blood-red eyes continued to attack the shield wall madly.
With its Supreme Realm power, each of its attacks would turn several giants behind the wall into bloody mist.
With the strength of a Supreme Realm expert, it could continue attacking for half a year or even a year. Accumulated over time, all 100,000 giant soldiers would be worn down and killed.
"General Tian Kui, can you hold on a little longer?"
"I am truly sorry! It is not that I am unwilling to help, but I am powerless!"
General Tian Kui cupped his hands. To allow Xiao Fei the freedom to use the yellow gourd, he had single-handedly endured the attacks of four Supreme Realm experts and was already severely injured.
"Fellow Daoist Tian Kui, no matter what, please help me hold on for ten more breaths. Just keep that crow occupied."
As Xiao Fei spoke, he handed a storage bag to General Tian Kui.
General Tian Kui swept his divine sense through it and immediately beamed with joy, feeling as though his wounds no longer hurt as much.
"Alright! Leave this to me. I will try my best to secure 15 breaths for you!"
As Tian Kui spoke, he mobilized the remaining immortal power within his body, activated a golden great saber, and slashed towards the enemy.
Xiao Fei, taking advantage of this brief moment of respite, looked at his yellow gourd.
In the past, when he used the yellow gourd to capture Supreme Realm experts, they would always escape.
But now, he himself had also broken through to the Supreme Realm.
After capturing the toad into the yellow gourd, he had been using his own Great Dao to suppress it with all his might to prevent its escape.
As a result, the toad, trapped in the gourd, thrashed about in panic, like an ant on a hot pan, but it could not escape his yellow gourd.
Up to this point, one of the toad's three legs had already been refined, leaving only two.
He wanted to use the yellow gourd to capture the red-eyed crow on the other side as well.
However, the yellow gourd currently contained a lively toad. If he were to capture another crow, he might not be able to suppress them effectively.
Xiao Fei could only use these ten-plus breaths to accelerate the refining of the toad in the gourd.
Ten breaths later, a gap opened in the shield wall formed by the giants.
The three-legged Golden Crow, having lost all reason, rushed in without hesitation upon seeing the gap.
As soon as it charged in, the shield wall closed again, surrounding it.
At this moment, the Golden Immortal formation was activated again.
Forty Golden Immortals unleashed their Dao artifacts, forming a cage in the air, imprisoning the frenzied three-legged Golden Crow.
The cage tightened, finally trapping the three-legged Golden Crow, rendering it immobile.
Xiao Fei was unwilling to let such an opportunity pass. He immediately raised the yellow gourd and, together with the cage, captured the three-legged Golden Crow into the yellow gourd.
