“The sharp, iron cavalry got tramped on formation!”
Looking out into the distance, Li Luo couldn’t help but give praise. It those short few moments, they successfully broke 3 formations, and the 4th one was about to be broken. Moreover, the 3 thousand iron cavalry was still unstoppable. The entire few hundred thousand alliance army’s morale was lowered to the extreme. It wasn’t as stable as a boulder as before.
However, although he was praising the mysterious armor iron cavalry in excitement, the corner of his eyes was looking at Zong Shou.
He knew that the reason why Zong Yuan was so invincible. it was all due to this teen.
Be it that unstoppable spear technique or the tactic used to charge at the enemy formation, they were all amazing.
Shi Dan’s eyes glowed, following which her brows furrowed as she looked into the sky.
“It’s here!”
They saw that for some reason dark clouds appeared above the valley. Balls of lightning gathered from the sky, when one looked up it seems like a lightning snake. It was as thick as a water bucket like it was about to strike down at any moment.
Shi Dan’s brows furrowed. She had recovered a portion of her soul power and done some preparation. However, she was helpless in front of a spell of such scale. Even if she went all out she would be able to reduce a portion of the Lightning’s powers, but she was unable to dissipate it.
When this lightning snake descends, no matter where it hit it would be enough to decide the direction of the battle. If it was 10 miles out, it could take Zong Yuan’s life. If it hit here, it was enough to break the carriage formation.
Just as she was about to go all out to use spells, Zong Shou suddenly sighed out, like his heart was deep in pain.
Shi Dan thought he was sighing because he was unable to turn around the battle. However, in the next moment, she saw him suddenly take out 3 pale gold talismans, reluctantly handing it over.
With just a glance, the expressions of Shi Dan and Li Luo both changed.
“This is the energy destroying spirit upheaval talisman?”
At that moment Shi Dan wanted to smack Zong Shou’s head with a fist.
With this talisman, which came from the cloud desolate era, each worth 5 grade 7 beast crystals, they didn’t have to care about this grade 6 lightning spell.
That prince tried to make people worry. He had such a trump card but didn’t want to take it out earlier, making her worry for no reason.
She took it without any hesitation, using soul power to activate it. The entire talisman instantly disappeared, turning into a 4-inch blue arrow and pierced into the sky. It charged around ten thousand feet up before exploding into numerous blue dots which covered these tens of miles of sky.
In the next instance, the lightning snake which was frenziedly dancing in the sky suddenly dissipated. The black clouds which had gathered up also slowly disappeared.
Li Luo raised his head and looked into the sky, his eyes filled with deep thoughts as he smiled at Zong Shou, “The prince has many methods, your military strategies exceed many. This is the first time I have seen someone like you.”
This time, he was filled with praise and respect. Such kinds of planning and preparations were all well thought of and weren’t luck.
Shi Dan’s face was also filled with admiration. Before this, she thought that Zong Shou had no plan and was just asking to die. Now however she felt a little more confident. Be it those three-arm spiritual crossbows or the energy destroying spirit upheaval talisman, they were all trump cards with a purpose and could turn the tides of the battle. The prince came prepared today.
Looking at the 3 thousand cavalry breaking formations in succession, actually having the aura of being able to sweep the enemy, he didn’t seem as clueless about military tactics as she thought before.
Zong Shou, on the other hand, wanted to curse out. That energy destroying spirit upheaval talisman was something he got after the beast crystal price had fallen. He spent a total of 150 grade 7 beast crystals. In comparison, it was more expensive than the 4500 blood cloud armor. Each talisman used was a huge piece of his heart being dugout.
Although he acted rich in before, his habits of being stingy and saving money were something that couldn’t be changed. Unlike the three-arm spiritual crossbows which had some use in the future, these talismans and the wind flame explosive arrows were all one-time use items. After they were consumed one couldn’t get them back.
Sighing out in anguish, Zong Shou collected his emotions once more and focused on the black mirror. To spend less money, the key was still crushing the 400 thousand troops in front of him. On Ruo Shui’s side, she would more or less be able to handle one or two but due to her bodily condition, she couldn’t drag for too long.
This time, just giving themselves a chance spent a few hundred grade 7 beast crystals. If they were still unable to win, then, in the end, that would be a huge loss.
Looking at the extremely painful expression on Zong Shou’s face, Li Luo smiled, revealing his teeth in the process. He shook his head, looking back at the battlefield ten miles away, his expression also slowly turned solemn. He injected qi into his eyes, and he could see a few strong and vast energy pillars gathering in front of that high platform.
The few Xuanwu ancestors were combining hands. If they were able to break them down, then there would probably be a chance for them to win this battle. However, if Zong Yuan fell, then the few of them could only escape right away.
…
When the spear in his hand pierced the throats of the last line of soldiers of the 4th square formation, Zong Yuan squinted his eyes as he looked 100 feet away at the strong aura given out.
In front of him was a 9 foot tall brute with firm muscles who was holding onto a giant steel shield which was at least a grade 3 spiritual artifact, a knife in his other hand. He stood in front of the entire army, looking over with his focused and cold eyes. His energy raged. He was Xuanwu 7 meridians. He recognized this person. It was Xie Nu from Yunxia Mountain!
Moreover, there were 2 more Xuanwu ancestors nearby whose auras were no weaker than this person who was hiding within the square formation.
Zong Yuan still didn’t have any emotional changes, relaxing the muscles in his body once more.
Since the gory opening, his current style was greatly different from before. His movement was simple and precise, there was nothing extra and no extra bit of energy was wasted.
Each spear stabbed out was really simple and well trained. Even a 6 meridian martial ancestor wouldn’t be able to block this simple stab because it was extremely quick and precise.
The true expert spear technique which was suitable for battlefield killing, it didn’t need all the extra stances and strokes. The more simple it was, the easier it could claim the life of the enemy!
Zong Yuan comprehended it in his heart, spending all his effort and energy into the battle. He only wanted his spear to be a little quicker, to be more simple.
Although the prince could control his body, he was unable to control each inch of muscle in his body and each bit of change in the true qi.
To make his spear even quicker and even sharper, he had to depend on himself.
What was weird was that even after leading the way and breaking through 4 formations, it didn’t use up much of the true qi in his body. The yellow pearl on the spear was absorbing and injecting essence energy into him, causing him to be filled with vital energy and strength.
Even now, after crushing another black armor square formation, he needed just a moment of rest before he was able to return to his peak condition.
This was why he was excited and looking forward to the battle with those few Xuanwu ancestors.
His spear would reach higher peaks because of these few people! He could more clearly see the martial path in the prince’s spear technique. In his 20 years of life, he had never felt so close to that true martial path gate. He could even foresee that gate opening up for him and he just needed to walk forwards and he could step within it!
He had long forgotten about life or death. Just like what the 3 thousand Xuan Mountain cavalry said before. If he died he would have no regrets.
“4th formation, break!”
Roaring out like he was using every bit of energy in him, a furious holler spread out from behind him, “With me, there is no enemy. Kill!”
The shouts were like that of a dragon as their morale surged. A hundred feet was instantly covered. Zong Yuan’s muscles instantly tightened up, his spear twirling and spinning like a vicious dragon attacking.
Numerous lightning glows gathered around the tip of the spear and ferociously exploded, expanding a full 10 times. And at that moment, the lightning snake which was originally blown to shreds had a portion which was led by this spear. It gathered around him and crazily injected into the purple lightning spear, giving out static noises.
Xie Nu was originally defending seriously. Although he was focused, he didn’t care much about that lightning glow. However, at this moment when the lightning in the air was attracted by Zong Yuan, his face turned ashen white.
“Leading lightning into the body, no, that’s the frenzied lightning spear sense!”
However, it was too late for him to react as that purple spear had already struck on his steel shield. Numerous purple lightning flashed across, instantly causing high temperatures, directly melting the center portion of the shield.
Then, the spear tip stabbed in, one spear right through his chest. The energy which exploded out directly blew his body into pieces as blood and meat scattered.
Zong Yuan was instantly startled. This was spear sense! It wasn’t the strength of the martial path, it wasn’t using sword strength to display sword sense which he saw from the prince, this was actual sword sense.
Borrowing the strength of the 5 vein external pill, his body of spiritual artifacts and the gathered intent of the 3 thousand behind him, he displayed the frenzied lightning spear sense in his hand!
Luckily, his body had formed muscle memory. Even after stabbing Xie Nu, his hands were still instinctively moving.
And once the spear was pulled back, Zong Yuan came back to his senses and took in a deep breath before he shouted once more, “Xie Nu has been slain! Anyone who dares to block me will be killed!”
When his words landed, those 2 auras which were no weaker than Xie Nu pounced aggressively at him.
The strong wind swept as internal energy charged at him, sword light flashing. The killing intent that stabbed over caused one’s skin to feel pain.
Zong Yuan scoffed coldly, a lightning glow injecting into the dragon horned winged horse under him, stimulating the muscles of the mount caused it to pick up even more speed when it was at its maximum to avoid the combined attacks of the blades. Then, the purple lightning spear in his hands stabbed out diagonally from the most impossible moments. More lightning glows gathered and charged down, stimulating the spear attack such that it reached the extreme of what the naked eye could capture. It pretty much flashed across in an instance and arrived in front of the face of one of the yellow middle-aged males.
He was Blazing Flame Mountain’s 7 meridians Xuanwu Mu Jiang!
He recognized this person. Zong Yuan’s spear became even sharper. The spear image stabbing swiftly before shaking, directly meshing this person’s head into a ball of meat paste.
