The Battle of Old Dragon City

Overview

As the Wild World's demon armies surged north after overrunning the southern continents of Tongye, Fuyao, and Jinjia, they encountered their most formidable resistance at the southern tip of the Bao Ping Continent. Great Li National Master Cui Chan orchestrated a massive, multi-layered defensive line centered around Old Dragon City. Dali vassal king Song Mu remained in the city as the commanding anchor, refusing to retreat despite the apocalyptic pressure. Positioned behind the city on the vast plains were the elite Dali cavalry led by legendary generals Su Gaoshan and Cao Ping, waiting in a silent, unwavering formation. In the sky above, hundreds of massive Mohist sword boats hovered, unleashing torrential rains of flying swords to suppress the advancing demonic forces.

The battle quickly escalated into a catastrophic clash of high-tier combatants. The Throne Great Demon Fei Fei attempted to drown Old Dragon City by manipulating the ocean to create a towering, continent-threatening flood. She was intercepted by the True Dragon Wang Zhu, who manifested her massive true form in the sea to engage in a brutal, ocean-churning struggle against Fei Fei and the demon vanguard. Meanwhile, another Throne Great Demon, the giant ape Yuan Shou, personally struck Old Dragon City's protective mountain-water array. With a single devastating blow of his staff, he shattered the city's primary defensive barrier. The city was only saved from immediate annihilation because the Mohist ranger Xu Ruo intervened, drawing his sword to block the remaining force of Yuan Shou's strike.

To permanently halt the demonic advance and prevent the loss of the entire continent, Cui Chan executed a ruthless and unprecedented strategic maneuver. Utilizing a supreme artifact matching the scale of the Daoist "Mountain" character seal (山字印), Cui Chan physically smashed Old Dragon City and the entire southern tip of the Bao Ping Continent into ruins. This drastic geographic destruction created an impassable, shattered barrier that served as the ultimate meat grinder, sacrificing the region to break the Wild World's momentum.

Outcome / Consequences

The Battle of Old Dragon City stands as the most critical military victory of the Wild World Invasion. By deliberately sacrificing the continent's southern tip and turning it into a shattered ruin, Cui Chan and the Great Li Dynasty successfully halted the demonic momentum. This brutal, continent-wide defense established a bloody stalemate that saved the Bao Ping Continent from the fate of the southern continents, proving that the Haoran World could successfully resist the Wild World's overarching invasion strategy.
