Chapter 329: Chapter 107: What Counts as the Great Wind General (Subscription Request)_5
All were at the Heavenly Human Realm.
Even with improved cultivation, the Duke was of little help.
Facing the siege of two Devil Emperors, he would inevitably falter in a prolonged battle. They only needed to find an opportunity to breach the gates of North City.
Once the gates were breached, the Demon Beasts would flood in.
The Northern Expedition Army within North City could defend during a siege against the surrounding Demon Beasts that outnumbered them. They had the strength to fight.
But once the gates were breached and the Demon Beasts poured in, chaos ensuing from the encirclement and melee, North City would quickly crumble.
Even if Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, were a powerhouse of the Second Realm of Heavenly Human, he couldn't change the fate of North City's fall.
There, if Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, chose not to act, it might be fine, but if he did and found himself weary, they would still be able to come over and stab Duke Zhen Guo with a knife.
That would be excellent.
The Soul Devouring Devil Emperor pondered this, his face obscured by his black robe and revealing a faint smile, still confident of victory.
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, seeing the faces of the two Devil Emperors, how could he not know what they were thinking?
His cultivation realm had not yet broken through to the Second Realm of Heavenly Human; he was still only at the first. As for how to further evolve his Martial Arts Divine Power, he had only begun to have some clues.

Once reaching the Heavenly Human Realm, cultivation advancement almost entirely depended on comprehension.
One must not rush.
So, even though Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, urgently wanted to improve his cultivation, there was little he could do.
But even without reaching the Second Realm of Heavenly Human, facing the two Devil Emperors, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, harbored no fear.
He could likely see through the thoughts of the Ghost Spider Devil Emperor and Soul Devouring Devil Emperor at a glance.
Even without complete confidence in victory, he would willingly play into these Devil Sovereigns' hands.
As long as he stood firm, the gates of North City would not fall.
In the blink of an eye, the two parties had clashed again.
The battle between Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, and the Ghost Spider Devil Emperor and Soul Devouring Devil Emperor had reached the pinnacle of the world, every move unfolding unimaginable marvels.
During the battle, even the tempestuous skies paled in comparison.
Thunderous roars like beating drums echoed through heaven and earth, resplendent without end.
Meanwhile, as Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, battled the Devil Emperor.
Li Baxun and the high-ranking officers of the Northern Expedition Army clashed with the Demon Kings and Devil Generals.
With North City as the center, within a few thousand feet, the earth was stained with blood, and cries of war pierced the sky.
Cheng Guang stood atop the wall, observing the surrounding battle, his mind trembling.
Such a battlefield, in his previous life, he had only seen in games, but now, he was witnessing it in first person.
In the face of such a war scene, he could smell the scent of blood in the air, feel the quiver in the air, and sense the danger looming like a shadow, ever-present.
Cheng Guang's own blood couldn't help but begin to boil.
In the current battle unfolding in North City between the Northern Expedition Army and the Demon Beasts, Cheng Guang was of no help.
In such a battlefield, individual strength seemed particularly insignificant.
Even for forces like Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, or the Ghost Spider Devil Emperor and Soul Devouring Devil Emperor, they couldn't determine the outcome of the battle on their own. They could only use their power to decide a critical point, leveraging this critical moment to turn the tide of the entire battle and achieve their goals.
For North City, the goal was to hold the defensive line.
For the Demon Beasts, they must breach North City's defenses.
The critical point was whether or not they could breach the gates of North City.
Cheng Guang knew, no matter how powerful the Demon Beasts were, as long as Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan stood firm, even if two Devil Emperors made their move, they couldn't breach the gates of North City against his resistance.
Whether the gates of North City could be breached all depended on the spy.
Had Qin Beifeng not been defeated by the Fire Dragon Devil King, although Cheng Guang had his suspicions, he wouldn't be convinced that Qin Beifeng was the spy.
But now, that same Fire Dragon Devil King who had defeated Qin Beifeng was sent running with his tail between his legs by Li Baxun in merely two strikes.
With such a comparison.
Anyone could see something was amiss.
If Li Baxun could defeat the Fire Dragon Devil King in two strikes, and the Fire Dragon Devil King managed to defeat Qin Beifeng in two strikes, wouldn't it mean that Li Baxun could also defeat Qin Beifeng in two strikes, or even say, less than two?
One would be enough.
How could this be?
Every soldier in North City knew that although both were of the same rank and among the top generals of the Northern Expedition Army, standing at the pinnacle of Ninth-order Martial Emperor Realm, Qin Beifeng had always been slightly stronger than Li Baxun.
Qin Beifeng's loss this time was too peculiar.
Even so, given Qin Beifeng's grave injuries and the pressing threat of the Demon Beasts, even when everyone knew there was something off about his sudden defeat, they didn't delve further into it.
Most people would simply think that Qin Beifeng might have been in poor condition or careless, leading to his defeat at the hands of the Fire Dragon Devil King.
Glancing at the ongoing battle, Cheng Guang's gaze fell on the tent below the city wall where Qin Beifeng was recuperating.
Pondering what Qin Beifeng might be doing at the moment.
Cheng Guang hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked down from the wall toward the tent where Qin Beifeng's presence lingered.
He planned to keep an eye on Qin Beifeng.
If Qin Beifeng truly was a spy, given his current injuries had healed, Cheng Guang wasn't afraid.
