Free Web NovelChapter 645: Chapter 66: Taking the General’s Head
Watching the figure of Chen Tang charging forward, the crowd’s expressions were complex, a sense of tragic grandeur rising in their hearts.
This figure seemed so insignificant, like a praying mantis raising its arms before the Barbarian Race’s grand army, pitiful yet laughable.
But on the city walls, no one could laugh.
Such fearless, unwavering momentum seemed incomparably grand, rendering them somewhat insignificant in comparison.
"Sigh, this prince truly is something. Why bother?"
"The Barbarian Race’s army has come south with great momentum, intending to seize the Divine Land, unstoppable. How could one person contend against them?"
On the hillside beside the Celestial Pass, Li Zhongmou, Li Shuhu, Changsun Ming, and Murong Haitang led a hastily assembled group of hundreds, lying in ambush, just waiting for Chen Tang’s command.
These hundreds were mixed in quality, with little actual combat power.
Being able to follow orders was already rare.
Seeing the display of the Barbarian Race’s army, many were already having second thoughts.
They had come for money, but they would need to be alive to spend it.
This setup, what’s the difference between going down and sending themselves to death?
"You two young masters, this is somewhat of a joke, isn’t it?"
Someone couldn’t help but say: "How about we withdraw, how do we fight this?"
Li Shuhu’s face darkened, and he said, "It’s not like you’re being asked to go down and fight right now, what are you worried about!"
"The two young masters said they would lead us to chase escapees and rogues, but with the current situation, where are the escapees among this heap of enemies?"
The person said: "Do the young masters really think that one man and one horse can contend with this Barbarian Race army?"
Another slightly older middle-aged man also nodded and said: "I’ve been on the battlefield a few times and stayed in the Jianghu, killing in the Jianghu is not the same as facing an army."
Li Zhongmou said blandly: "Watch the battle here, if it’s impossible to proceed, we certainly won’t let you go down and die in vain."
-----------------
On the battlefield.
The group of Barbarian Army generals including Celestial Eagle looked at the rapidly approaching Chen Tang with a hint of surprise first, followed by disdain and ridicule in their eyes.
"This Demon Monarch’s mount is not bad."
Celestial Eagle shouted, "All officers, be careful with your hands, don’t harm this warhorse."
"Who wishes to go out and slay this man!"
Celestial Eagle sat on his horse, looked around, and reminded, "This man is of Third Grade, but his strength shouldn’t be underestimated."
"I am willing to go!"
A general behind Celestial Eagle stepped forward.
This person was the Commander of the Guards beside General Celestial Eagle, and also one of the Innate Experts of this Barbarian Race army.
"Do not underestimate the enemy."
Celestial Eagle nodded slightly, reminding him.
"Hyah!"
This Commander of the Guards, wielding a wolf fang club weighing over a hundred pounds, spurred his horse forward and charged at Chen Tang!
"Report your name, intruder!"
The Commander of the Guards shouted.
Chen Tang did not answer, riding the Thunder Leopard straight at him!
"Whelp, prepare to die!"
The Commander of the Guards, seeing Chen Tang ignoring him, was enraged, his body bursting with Innate True Qi, condensing onto the wolf fang club, ready to unleash a sweep that could cut down a thousand troops, intending to sweep Chen Tang off his horse.
Yet Chen Tang and his mount suddenly accelerated, like a black lightning, arriving in an instant.
Swoosh!
The blade light shone.
All the Commander saw was a flash of cold light.
He seemed to fall from his horse, accompanied by a dizzying whirl.
Amazingly, he saw himself still sitting on the horse.
Only, without a head.
The next moment, he lost consciousness.
The Barbarian Race people were all still stunned.
The whole process was too fast.
The crowd hadn’t seen clearly what happened, just after the two crossed paths, the Commander’s head rolled off, and blood spurted out!
A Second Grade Innate Expert was beheaded in just one encounter!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Tang had already charged to the front of the formation.
"How bold!"
"Be careful!"
The generals reacted, all shouting.
The Ox Demon Heavy Cavalry launched, surrounding Chen Tang.
But the distance was too close, and the Ox Demon Heavy Cavalry didn’t have enough room to gather momentum.
While the Thunder Leopard, charging from afar, was like a rainbow with a tiger-leopard roar, it slightly lowered its head, raised the horn on its forehead, and directly rushed into the Ox Demon Heavy Cavalry formation!
Boom!
A leading rhino was knocked into the air by the Thunder Leopard’s horn, its head pierced with a bloody hole, dying instantly.
Blade light flashed again.
The general on the rhino’s back hadn’t even reacted before being slashed in half by Chen Tang, beheaded.
"Moo!"
The war elephants, sensing the crisis, also trumpeted loudly, raising their sharp tusks and swinging their long trunks, stirring up endless dust under their feet as they charged towards the Thunder Leopard.
The Thunder Leopard could bash in a rhino with one blow, but its frontal strength was hard to match against the giant elephants.
Its body, though large compared to other warhorses, was still far smaller than the enormous elephants over a zhang tall.
But the Thunder Leopard’s speed and agility far outstripped that of the war elephants.
"Take care of yourself."
Chen Tang rushed into the army, briefly advising the Thunder Leopard, then leaped up, mid-air, directly attacking the army’s main general, Celestial Eagle, with murderous intent!
Capture the leader first to win the war!
"Everyone, combine forces!"
Celestial Eagle, unfazed, drew his great sword, circulated Innate True Qi, and shouted.
"Kill!"
The surrounding generals rushed together, their inner qi surging, most were Third and Fourth Grade, and there were two Second Grade Innate among them!
More than ten generals launched an extremely terrifying offensive!
Mid-air, Chen Tang suddenly took a deep breath, his chest swelled, and he opened his mouth, letting out an earth-shattering roar!
"Roar!"
The Lion’s Roar erupted, like thunder on a clear ground!
In an instant, everything fell silent!
It seemed in everyone’s ears, only Chen Tang’s roar remained, ringing.
Several Fourth Grade Martial Artists rolled their eyes instantly, losing consciousness and falling from their horses.
Some Fifth Grade Martial Artists, closer by, also passed out, collapsing on the ground.
As for those martial artists who had not cultivated Inner Qi, at close range, they were shocked by Chen Tang’s Lion’s Roar, bleeding from the seven apertures, dying violently!
Among the ten-plus generals, even the two Second Grade Innate Experts had a moment of daze, their eyes blank.
Blade light flashed again!
Chen Tang struck out with more than a dozen slashes in an instant.
More than a dozen Barbarian Race generals, all fell dead!
In the Nanxia Jianghu, within a few months, Chen Tang’s name was already renowned.
Many knew of his methods and were wary of this move from him.
Yet this group of Barbarian Race generals knew nothing of him.
A single Lion’s Roar, creating miraculous merits!
When Celestial Eagle regained his senses and found that more than a dozen generals around him were all dead, he was horrified.
Even more fatal was that Chen Tang was already upon him!
Celestial Eagle felt a chill down his spine, his hair stood on end, eyes wide as he shouted, "Celestial God Technique!"
He was Second Grade, cultivating the Celestial God Technique, horizontally training the body, possessing immense strength.
After the shout of Celestial God Technique, his whole body bulked with muscle, his skin seemed shrouded in a mysterious sheen, his momentum skyrocketing!
"Take my blade!"
Chen Tang softly shouted, swinging his arm with the blade.
The blade edge tore through the void.
A scorching smell suddenly filled the air around.
Crimson blade light emerged.
Fast, too fast!
Celestial Eagle felt Chen Tang’s blade coming, wanting to resist, but the speed of this strike was beyond his imagination!
His great sword was raised but still a hair too slow.
Poof!
The red blade light sank into his throat, disappearing.
Celestial Eagle’s head rolled off!
In the twinkle of an eye, the generals of the Barbarian Race army were already almost entirely slain by Chen Tang!
