At the front of the Steel Cavalry, Li Anguo’s expression appeared to get increasingly impatient. His adjutant ran up and said, “The Yellow Sect is requesting for us to go over and discuss battle tactics.”
“Hmph, they want us to go over to discuss?” Li Anguo’s countenance turned cold, and he swung his longspear fiercely. A strong gust of wind swept across before him, sending countless plants and trees into the air.
“A bunch of tricksters. I don’t wish to join forces with them.” After saying that, Li Anguo looked in the direction of the imperial court’s 100,000-man army and said arrogantly, “To think that they are afraid of a mere woman…? So what if she defeated Prince Xin? I’ll let the entire world know that our Steel Cavalry is the world’s strongest army and that no one in the world can win against us.”
Li Anguo was long unconvinced about the imperial court’s number one general that was rumored to be extraordinary. Being trained to become a battle god from a young age, his goal had always been to become the world’s strongest general and for the Steel Cavalry under him to be an unrivaled troop in the world.
This was a strong urge to win that was nurtured from the glorious legacy which had been passed down for several centuries, going through the same training daily for several decades and enjoying countless victories. It was only with such confidence that they could shoulder the Steel Cavalry’s great reputation and have a disposition which was as if they would always emerge victorious in battles.
This would continue until the day he really reached the throne of being the world’s strongest person or die in battle on the way there.
Saying that, Li Anguo raised his longspear high up, and his essential Qi gushed out crazily. The total of 80 acupuncture points in his body and from his ride connected together, and it was as if countless spirits had risen up.
“All soldiers heed my command!” Li Anguo bellowed loudly.
Roar!
The 5,000-man army shouted concurrently, with their horses and men as one. The soldiers and their essential Qis were once again connected together, and the powers from all 5,000 members of the Steel Cavalry gathered together.
If it could be said that the Qi field formed from an ordinary army’s essential Qi was comparable to a few fingers, then the Steel Cavalry’s Qi field which was released at this moment—relying on their great teamwork and superb skills gained from their training—clenched the fingers into a fist.
“Crush them!”
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Accompanied by three loud roars, all the men and horses revealed bloodthirsty gazes, and the soaring pernicious aura immediately astonished all of their enemies and allies in the surroundings.
At the next moment, Li Anguo charged at the very front, cheering while riding the Jade Water Kirin and shooting out like a missile. Behind him, the 5,000-man Steel Cavalry also charged out while shouting, following closely behind him.
The strong aura from the 5,000-man cavalry could match that of the 100,000-man army. Their Illuminating Darkness Armor also reflected piercing silver light. When the hooves stomped down on the ground, it felt as if the entire land was tremoring. Waves of tremors could even be felt from the top of Lihe City’s city walls. The entire 5,000-man cavalry unit had seemingly turned into what looked like a real steel torrent, charging out toward the imperial court’s 100,000-man army.
An old man from the Yellow Sect’s army said furiously, “Damn that brute, Li Anguo.”
The other members next to him asked anxiously, “Elder, what should we do?”
“Hmph, everyone decamp. We mustn’t let that Li Anguo take all the credit.”
A young married lady who led the small team of Disha Realm cultivators from the Twelve Alliance smiled. “There isn’t much to discuss about in the first place. The Demon Sect’s experts and that Marie will be left for those old Tiangang Realm monsters to deal with.
“As for the remaining forces, we have a total of over 1,000 Disha Realm cultivators and a 200,000-man army. If we still can’t win against them with this, we might as well just surrender.”
Clearly, under the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ control, the feudal vassals and most of the other influences across the world were under the impression that the Demon Sect was supporting the imperial court. They had no idea what the previous battle situation was actually like.
With the Steel Cavalry charging forth, the other armies in the surroundings also made their moves and started advancing toward the imperial court’s army.
The imperial court’s troops also rapidly reacted. Instantly, several cavalry units—a total of close to 6,000 men—charged out toward the Steel Cavalry.
Looking at the enemies charging toward them, Li Anguo broke out into unrestrained laughter. He pointed his mystic iron spear toward the front. It was like a huge dragon encompassed within the Steel Cavalry’s Qi field, and he thrust it out fiercely toward the imperial court’s army.
100 meters…
50 meters…
Ten meters…
Five meters…
Boom!
The cavalries from both sides finally collided, but the imperial court’s cavalry was weak and could not stand up to the Steel Cavalry.
Everyone felt as if they had collided into an iron plate. Their horses, their armor, and they themselves were not on the same level as the Steel Cavalry.
In that instant, the members of the imperial court’s cavalry were thrown off their feet. The Steel Cavalry tapped into their essential Qi, horse power, manpower, and a large amount of inertia, acting like a drill head that spun incessantly. They charged forth while massacring the imperial court’s cavalry. Countless soldiers were sent flying into the air before landing on the ground and getting stomped into meat paste. There were also countless soldiers who were pierced by longspears, and their bodies were torn into two parts.
Everywhere the Steel Cavalry passed by, there would be large areas of broken limbs and remains left behind.
Li Anguo, who was charging at the very front, shouldered the greatest pressure. Simultaneously, he also had the entire Steel Cavalry’s strongest powers and endless essential Qis’ Qi field gathered onto him. Together with his Indestructible Golden Physique, he displayed a terrifying destructive force.
He went crashing all the way while riding the Jade Water Kirin. The ordinary cavalry members were unable to even touch him. They were stomped into meat paste by the Qi field and Jade Water Kirin’s armor.
It did not even take a few minutes for over 1,000-man cavalry to die in their hands.
“Traitors, die!”
Just then, a Disha Realm general let out a loud bellow, leaped up from his horse, and sent his spear thrusting toward Li Anguo.
“Scram.” Facing the Disha Realm cultivator who was attacking him, Li Anguo merely threw over a cold glance and swept out with his mystic iron spear. His longspear was like Godzilla’s tail, almost compressing even space into a material state.
In that instant, the spear broke, and the person was crushed. He turned into an indistinct bloody pile of flesh that dropped onto the ground and was then stomped into paste by the Jade Water Kirin.
Killing the Disha Realm cultivator in front of him with one thrust, Li Anguo charged out once again. Amidst waves of agonizing cries and splattering blood, he led the Steel Cavalry to penetrate through the imperial court’s cavalry, leaving behind only several hundred defeated troops behind him.
The Steel Cavalry did not suffer any casualties at all.
In just a single round, the Steel Cavalry managed to annihilate a cavalry force of several thousand men while suffering no harm at all. At this moment, they displayed their endless prowess as well as their foundations for being the world’s strongest army.
Although it appeared as if they had entered deep into the enemy’s terrain and the imperial court’s soldiers had come to surround them, the members of the Steel Cavalry did not appear uneasy at all. There was only a brimming desire to massacre that kept gushing out.
Concurrently, Li Anguo bellowed toward the sky, “Marie! Scram out here!”
This explosive bellow almost penetrated the clouds, and there were even Gang Qis coming down from beyond the heavens that swept out in all directions together with the sound waves.
The forces from both sides were shocked at the sight of this scene. It turned out that this Li Clan’s young master, the leader of the Steel Cavalry, had attained the Tiangang Realm long ago. The countenances of the people from influences that had feuds with Bing Region’s Li Clan all changed.
Having laid low for many years, Li Anguo had finally revealed his actual powers before the entire world. He felt extremely comfortable, and even the Gang Qi circulation in his body seemed to have become slightly faster.
This feeling of soaring into the sky and looking down on the rest of the world made him feel that the bottleneck he had reached in his martial arts cultivation seemed to have loosened up a little.
Just as Li Anguo’s howl shocked all the other armies and even caused many horses to retreat in astonishment, the imperial court’s army—who were right in front of the Steel Cavalry—suddenly scattered off, revealing a 1,000-man team.
At the sight of this 1,000-man team, Li Anguo laughed boisterously. “You guys are the black-armored army who have been dealing massacres in various regions recently?”
The 1,000-man team from the imperial court’s formation, who were covered in black exoskeleton armor, were clearly the Sharp Swords troop.
Information about their attire had long since been spread across the world as they dealt crushing defeats to several tens batches of armies.
Faced against Li Anguo’s question, no one from the Sharp Swords said a word. All of them merely raised their electromagnetic rifles and aimed at Li Anguo’s.
“Hmph, not going to speak?” Li Anguo also aimed his longspear toward them. “Then you can speak after you’ve arrived in hell.”
With an enraged bellow, the Steel Cavalry charged out once again. The silver torrent was like a huge howling dragon that was baring its teeth and claws, charging out toward the Sharp Swords troop.
Faced with the Steel Cavalry, no one from the Sharp Swords appeared panicky at all. Wang Tian’s calm voice rang out from their communication devices, “There will be someone to deal with that person at the Tiangang Realm. Aim at everyone else aside from him.
“Don’t let even a single one of them off.”
At the next moment, the 1,000 men concurrently shot out a metal tempest toward the Steel Cavalry. In an instant, several hundred members of the Steel Cavalry were bathed in blood, and they fell from their horses.
Each depleted uranium armor-piercing shell could pierce through one-meter-thick steel armor and then produce a 6,000 degrees Celsius high temperature explosion.
With 1,000 of them shooting out at the same time, there were several ten thousand bullets shot with every second. Even the air was instantly tugged at and shattered, and it started burning.
Under this terrifying firepower, the members of the Steel Cavalry could not react in time. Their Qi field was shredded after sustaining for only half a second.
The Illuminating Darkness Armors were also like papier mache before the depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, shattering almost instantly.
Regardless of whether they were Xiantian Realm experts or Disha Realm cultivators, the bullets would directly pierce through their physical bodies.
Their muscles, bones, nerves, and internal organs were all stirred into paste by the supersonic bullets.
From the distance, the entire Steel Cavalry appeared as if they had been struck by an invisible attack. Amidst a series of agonizing cries, these elite cavaliers— that were the greatest in the world and had been nurtured for at least ten years—all flew into the sky, with blood bursting out incessantly from their bodies. Their bodies were also shredded into fragments in midair.
Their rides were not in a good state either. As the bullets came gushing over, some of them suffered from broken legs, while the heads of other horses exploded. There were also some who had the bullets exploding and burning in their bodies directly, turning them into pools of minced meat.
The many horses cried out as they fell to the ground and were then stomped into meat paste by their comrades behind them.
The entire Steel Cavalry was dying rapidly at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. The way they charged out collectively with the men and horses squeezing together closely, it was ideal for the electromagnetic rifles to shoot at them together. Each bullet could even pass through several cavalry members. After a round of shots, one-third of the Steel Cavalry died in almost the blink of an eye.
The entire process was as if there was a sickle that kept on harvesting wheat.
All of the cavalry members were stunned. They did not even know what had killed their comrades and could only watch as batches of them fell to the ground. Right now, they were just following the charging inertia as well as the Steel Cavalry’s great discipline to charge forth.
At the sight of this scene, Li Anguo was boiling in fury. As he watched the cavalry members he had spent countless resources to nurture falling to the ground, he felt as if his heart was bleeding.
“Die!”
With an enraged bellow, the Gang Qis around him turned into an intense tempest. He was like a god who controlled gales, charging right up to the front of the Sharp Swords troop in the blink of an eye. His mystic iron spear was like a tornado that connected the heavens and the earth, thrusting out fiercely toward the Sharp Swords troop.
