After fighting for a full day and night, Zong Shou’s spells didn’t seem like they were going to end.
Where did this kid get so much soul power? Did he really get it from the souls of his people? What kind of secret technique was that?
As expected just as the two fist-sized glows landed on him.
Suddenly, the black flames swept the sky. The black lightning suddenly increased, dissipating the Red Star God Lightning.
In an instant, the battle started to flip!
Zong Shou’s eyes turned sharp. A Dragon roared out from behind him, turning into a seven clawed Dragon shape. The green Sword Light charged, its speed increasing by several folds as it thrust forward like a storm!
Prince Jia Mingluo’s face also showed a vicious color. In his life he never knew retreat! However, he felt fear facing this sword, a chill ran down his spine. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, to avoid it!
Moments later he suppressed this fear. The saber in his hand gathered all his strength and slashed forwards!
Great Spiritual Domain Saber!
If this saved couldn’t block or couldn’t slash through, he would die!
Hong!
A loud explosion, like the Heavens were collapsing and Earth was tearing apart. The clouds 10,000 miles around were split to the sides by an invisible power.
Zong Shou’s Thousand Sword shadows all focused on one point on Jia Mingluo’s saber.
Endless power, huge strength that was unable to be displayed, being struck down and ground out.
In the end, the saber bent backward and he was also forced to retreat by thousands of feet.
Zong Shou wasn’t feeling good at that moment either. The green flame in his Soul Ocean was half used up in just that strike.
The saber power from Prince Jia Mingluo had charged into his body, wreaking havoc. It caused his Chakra Meridians to be destroyed and his energy currents became chaotic.
Although Prince Jia Mingluo was injured, he also suffered from many injuries and was unable to chase.
He wasn’t a free and easy person. Seeing the sword he planned to kill him with, he felt a little regretful and disappointed.
Following this, he didn’t care about it. The battle between them wasn’t decided in such a short time, they had so much more time to fight one another.
His brow furrowed as he looked to the east. The sun had risen and was now shining down.
He laughed, “The sky has turned bright, do you still want to fight?”
A day had really little effect on Prince Jia Mingluo’s projection, but to his strength it suppressed it by a little, especially during noon.
If this person didn’t want to stop, Zong Shou would naturally play along.
Maybe he would have a chance to kill this person. Although there were a million Night Demons, they wouldn’t be a problem then.
Prince Jia Mingluo’s face turned green. He looked at his right hand which he held the saber with. What was really stable was already starting to tremble.
This was due to him using all his strength. With his cultivation, in just dozens of breaths he would recover.
But, was there a need to continue fighting? Before this, he pushed Zong Shou to a corner after half a night of accumulation, but that was turned around with just one sword.
Even if they continued to fight, it wouldn’t be of any use.
He had tried before to rely on his Regeneration Ability that was 10 times stronger than Zong Shou’s to wear out his Soul Power and internal energy.
However, it ended up being fruitless. A few consecutive days of fighting and it was himself who was totally drained.
Not only did this person’s soul power seem endless, his internal energy did too.
There seemed to be a whirlpool on his sword. Each time they fought, he felt a portion of his strength would be sucked away and then recoiled back to him.
Frowning, Jia Mingluo took a close look at Zong Shou before exhaling, his expression turning calm.
“Has Ruler thought about what we discussed the day before? If you are willing to join my Race, not only will your Donglin Cloud Continent be safe, I can even give this Huizhou Island to you. With your ability and talent, my father will use you well. It is also possible for you to help us control this world…”
Zong Shou’s lips curled, Why is he trying to persuade me again? Without thinking he shook his head, “You are really annoying!”
Jia Mingluo’s face turned green and then he laughed coldly, “Three months, you retreated from Lianyun to here, losing ten battles. How long can your 100,000 troops last?”
His tone became gentler, “If you aren’t willing to serve us, it is okay. As long as you back out into Donglin, I can ensure you that within 30 years I won’t touch Donglin at all!”
He found it really tough to utter out these words.
During these three months they had been through numerous intense battles. He saw through the resilience and firmness of this person! He didn’t compromise, like a boulder that couldn’t be crushed or shattered!
Zong Shou was silent. On Lianyun Island, even after splitting troops they still had 1.2 million. In the three months they threw in more of them.
However, there was only 70% left. This was also due to the Night Demons not going all out to attack due to their high consumption.
Naturally, all he had left were the true elites who survived from the battlefield.
Zong Shou himself didn’t have confidence in how long they could last. However…
He still smiled, “Then how many days of food do you have left? Do you want to borrow some from me?”
Jia Mingluo’s breathing instantly got heavier. This time they brought 10 years worth into the Cloud World, who knew they would be lost in the World River.
He didn’t care much, he just needed to pillage around in the Cloud World.
Who knew that his army would be blocked in front of these bunch of mountains. Within 10,000 miles there was no one and no food they could eat.
His army was already relying on hunting beasts for food.
However as time went on, within 1,000 miles there were no birds nor beasts.
That was because they didn’t have enough manpower to hunt! Although Zong Shou had increasingly fewer troops, he had the ability to counterattack. Like a spring, the stronger one pressed down the stronger the recoil. Even when they used a million Night Demons to attack, they couldn’t succeed.
The matter that he didn’t care about at first became the biggest cause of their defeat!
“You are asking to die!”
He knew that there was no point in speaking more. Jia Mingluo scoffed coldly, waving his sleeves and leaving.
Before he left he took a deep look at the blood-colored cavalry below.
As long as they appeared on the battlefield they would be invincible.
There were close to 10 Spirit Realm experts who followed him in. However, they were all suppressed by this army.
…Without these experts, just one cavalry army could crush hundreds of thousands of Night Demons.
There was also an unparalleled formation charger who grasped the situation so sharply.
He set several traps to try to kill them but the Blood Cloud Cavalry broke it easily.
In front of the cavalry was a young general holding a huge halberd looking upward, his eyes filled with disdain.
Although Jia Mingluo didn’t bother, he felt rage consuming him. He suppressed the killing intent, waving his wings and flying toward the retreating army.
“Within 10 days I will break this mountain! I will see if the Ruler can still laugh then!”
Zong Shou was speechless. This fellow said such words after every battle. Again?
However, in his heart it felt much heavier. He could hear the unprecedented determination in his voice.
He really forced him into a corner. In the past, he was afraid of losses which was why he didn’t go all out.
At this moment, if they didn’t risk their lives they would lose. Once this Night Demon army’s full strength exploded forward, they would be hugely powerful.
He frowned. However, in the next moment he had an idea.
Reaching out, a ball of white energy suddenly appeared in his hands. It was a threatening aura like it gathered the thoughts of tens of millions.
This was the strength of the King Path!
Only at this moment, it was much stronger than just now during his battle with Prince Jia Mingluo.
Without needing to think, he knew that there was a breakthrough on the side of Zong Gang and Jia Mingluo.
So quick!
He remembered that during the battle report yesterday they said they were still at a standstill with the 2,000,000 to the west.
How did they already break through so quickly?
The King Path Martial Arts was a gathering of the strength of a country. With that, this entire Huizhou was under his rule? There was no more resistance?
He wasn’t that joyous. Although he won, he wouldn’t gain much from here.
How could they easily rush back from 10,000 miles away? Even if they returned, there would be a bunch of exhausted troops.
At most it would make the battle a little easier.
Shaking his head, Zong Shou flew down and returned back to his Commander tent.
It was built on the mountain peak and could look out a 1,000 miles all around, only to see that the battlefield was in a tragic state.
There were no trees and plants left, only a white land remained.
There were numerous stone walls below and thousands of stone pillars above.
These were what Kong Yao ordered for the surrounding people along with those eight million surviving elites, to spend a month and a half to build.
As Night Demons had wings, these stone castles weren’t too tall and the top layer was also not strongly sealed.
It wasn’t to block enemies but to cover Spiritual Formations.
In addition, there were also numerous areas dug up around the Seven Cloud Mountain and crossbows were set up.
Looking out, the stone walls that were built were mostly collapsed.
A small portion of the thousands of stone castles were broken through and leveled to flat land.
Zong Shou was silent. If they fought on, there was really no place for them to defend…
