Locals often said that Southern Xinjiang had no spring or autumn, only winter and summer, but this year was exceptionally unusual, as the early winter snow fell softly and early, covering the large Qingmu City in a layer of silver.
A troop of horses stopped in front of the ‘Jiawei’ Restaurant, their fiery steeds exhaling white mist from their nostrils.
They were all martial artists, and after a night of heavy drinking, they were even more invigorated in the morning.
“Brother Li!” Zhong Zhenyue called out.
“Coming!”
Li Mo had just finished integrating the last True Spirit, and his Seventy-Two Transformations was now only one transformation short:
Wuzhiqi.
This True Spirit was even more courageous and untamed than Ya Zi, perhaps the most difficult of all True Spirits to integrate into a Divine Ability, yet it was also chosen by the jade phoenix god.
“I’m going to Qingmu Camp.”
Li Mo changed into his winter clothes and called out.
Since early morning, Ying Bing, dressed in a white fox fur coat and a feathered long skirt, had been standing by the window, her ice-mirror-like eyes gazing south.
The snowy scenery outside the window gained a quiet beauty because of her.
Hearing Li Mo’s voice, she finally came back to her senses:
“I’m going too.”
“Hmm? A woman going to the camp, won’t it be...?”
“I’ve already informed Zhong Ling.”
Li Mo thought she might be curious, so he went downstairs with her.
Then he discovered a problem.
They weren't taking a carriage today, but there was only one extra pony, and Li Mo had never ridden a horse.
“Brother Li, you don’t know how to ride?”
“Does riding a person count?”
“???”
Xiao Li felt a bit like he missed Brother Donglai.
Whoosh—
The young woman beside him flipped onto the saddle, her crystal-like left hand gripping the reins, the other extended towards Li Mo, where snowflakes could be clearly seen falling onto her slightly reddened palm.
“Come up.”
Xiao Li felt that he should find a book on riding to read when he had time.
Even spending some Martial Arts Comprehension would be fine, even a little!
Not long after.
Everyone rode their horses to Qingmu Camp, where the soaring Blood Qi warmed the air a little.
It was still yesterday’s training ground, the earth had been re-compacted, but it was much livelier than yesterday, with all the centurions from various camps present.
On the general’s platform sat a line of Qingmu City generals, with Qu Sheng in the chief seat, a steaming teacup in his hand.
“Your subordinate cultivates a hundred schools of martial arts, and has never heard of a martial art in this world that can transform into a Disaster Beast?”
Guard General Wu Lang asked with a frown.
“I’ve never heard of it.”
“Even Inner Scenery and Outer Scenery shouldn’t be able to do it, but this child is definitely not a Law Body of the Sixth Realm.” Another blue-clad guard general was also quite curious.
“We’ll see soon enough.”
In Qu Sheng’s eyes, a group of people approached, and under the guidance of the personal guards, they ascended the general’s platform.
Li Mo stood on the platform, looking down at the forest of long halberds and the Dragon-like Aura, a surge of heroic spirit rising within him, his blood boiling even more intensely in the winter.
What kind of scene would it be if a war broke out?
They all said that men had heroic aspirations on the battlefield, to achieve great deeds.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Li truly felt a bit ignited.
Turning around, he saw the various gazes of the generals.
Qu Sheng stood up with a smile, his voice clear and bright:
“Li Shaoxia, all the squad leaders and centurions of the entire army are here. I’ve already boasted, and there are no idle words in the army.”
His voice could be heard throughout the entire Qingmu Camp.
Li Mo had long been prepared, nodding and saying:
“Naturally, may I ask what kind of Disaster Beast experience the army needs to deal with?”
The generals discussed for a moment, then reached a consensus.
“The Qiongqi Clan.”
“No problem.”
“Am I still in command?” Zhong Ling asked.
Qu Sheng tossed the command flag from his waist to her, smiling:
“In the army, besides me, I’m afraid no one’s level of commanding military formations is above yours.”
“The Commander taught well.”
Zhong Ling slightly puffed out her chest, her valiant demeanor unable to hide her pride.
She selected over a hundred squad leaders and centurions in the Inner Breath Realm, and soon the military formation, under her command, moved like an extension of her arm in the training ground, filled with murderous intent.
These hundred-plus people were actually commanded by her to feel like a mighty army of thousands.
Ying Bing’s serene gaze reflected the military momentum, as if lost in thought.
At this moment, Zhong Zhenyue, as the vanguard formation eye, integrated into the military momentum. With his addition, the military formation became even more magnificent in Aura and unstoppable.
“When the Little Marquis’s Realm becomes higher in the future, coupled with Zhong Ling’s military formation, our Southern Xinjiang will gain another enemy of ten thousand men.”
“But yesterday, this Dugu Qi Jian Li Shaoxia, with just one person and one hammer, broke the military formation.”
“Hmm?”
“Li Shaoxia’s martial arts should still be reliable; after all, he’s eleventh on the Qianlong Ranking, so he shouldn’t be boasting.”
Staring at the field, an ancient and fierce Aura was awakening on Li Mo’s body, and the generals all sat up straight.
The next moment.
With a tiger’s roar, Li Mo’s figure rolled, transforming into a fierce tiger the size of a calf, its fur like steel needles, with twin wings on its back like celestial blades.
Gasps of surprise rose and fell across the training ground.
This kind of grand transformation of a living person, if not seen with one’s own eyes, who could believe it? fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
How was this even like martial arts!
The Qiongqi’s man-eating, soul-stirring Aura was almost palpable, making one’s heart clench!
Qu Sheng pondered for a moment and asked:
“Gentlemen, who do you think will win or lose?”
“Even a seventh-grade pure-blooded Qiongqi couldn’t withstand this formation, could it?”
“Hard to say, just looking at their Qi, it’s hard to tell who’s superior.”
“Hiss... The Little Marquis, aided by the military formation, is only evenly matched in Aura?”
The generals discussed animatedly, but all felt the situation was unclear.
Qu Sheng was about to speak.
“Li Mo wins.” The clear voice of a young woman pierced through the early snow and reached everyone’s ears.
The general’s platform fell silent.
Many generals looked at Ying Bing, who was not far away, serving tea in white porcelain amidst the snow, and although they were puzzled, no one dared to go forward and ask her.
“Why does she think so?”
“Yesterday I saw her feeding Li Shaoxia. Why do you think?”
“Oh~~~”
Listening to the generals discussing and then suddenly understanding, Qu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
He felt that this Fairy Han did not speak out merely because she hoped Li Mo would win.
Because he felt the same way.
In fact, Ying Bing had been observing for much longer than he had.
Could it be...
She understands military formations?
In a flash.
The battle began in the field.
Zhong Zhenyue bore the brunt of it, feeling even stronger than yesterday, his Golden Halberd Iron Horse Body pushed to its limit.
However, this feeling only lasted for the first clash.
“Roar—!”
Qiongqi Xiao Li let out a tiger’s roar.
It was the Qiongqi’s Bloodline Power!
He immediately felt his body become several times heavier, various irritating Random Thoughts surged into his mind, as if someone was pulling him, making him unable to exert strength.
He was not an isolated case.
The entire military formation was affected by the tiger’s roar.
“This is still because my Realm is too low. If it were a sixth-grade or even fifth-grade Qiongqi, perhaps it could make you all fight among yourselves.”
“When fighting against the Qiongqi Clan, remember to firmly guard your mind!”
Li Mo reminded them while charging forward.
This was only the first type of Bloodline Power he used.
At this point, anyone who wasn’t foolish could see it; the outcome of this battle was very clear.
Li Mo even had the leisure to give reminders while fighting.
He was completely playing a teaching game.
“Can’t win.”
Zhong Zhenyue collapsed to the ground as if exhausted, and the military formation officially broke. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
【Congratulations to the host, successfully invested in the Qingmu City garrison.】
【You have an investment pending collection.】
Qiongqi Xiao Li transformed back. He temporarily didn’t collect the reward, smiling as he looked at Zhong Zhenyue and said:
“Little Marquis, there’s no need to belittle yourself. The true Qiongqi’s physique isn’t as strong as mine. Even with powerful Bloodline, it should have been trapped and killed by the military formation just now.”
“...”
The soldiers exchanged glances.
Who taught you how to comfort people like that?
What do you mean a Disaster Beast’s physique isn’t as strong as yours?
Zhong Zhenyue took a deep breath, his eyes burning as he said:
“Brother Li, didn’t we discuss yesterday how much military formation power you could accommodate?”
“How about... we try it now?”
