Free Web NovelDawn broke, making the dried bloodstains on the city walls even more vivid.
Qu Sheng, carrying a long spear and dressed in white, ascended the city wall, somewhat relishing the warmth of the morning light, for when the sun rose tomorrow, he wondered how many people would no longer be able to see it.
Perhaps, he might be among them.....
But before the thought could fully form, he saw two figures on the city wall, facing the morning sun and wind, their fluttering forms casting long, long shadows.
“Li Shaoxia, Ying Xianzi... you aren’t...”
Commander Qu’s eyes widened slightly, his expression one of surprise, which then turned to calm and admiration.
“Commander Qu, Han Zhen has now cultivated the Demon Summoning True Scripture and used a blood sacrifice method. If we don’t eliminate him, we will never win,” Li Mo said softly, looking down at the enemy army already arranging their formations.
“But defending the city is already extremely difficult,” Commander Qu shook his head.
Han Zhen was not only cunning in his methods but also a shrewd old fox.
Yesterday, when Li Shaoxia provoked him like that, Han Zhen endured it.
How could such a person, surrounded by a large army, be killed?
Those Wuling War Colossi, thousands upon thousands of enemy troops, and the vicious Disaster Beasts were not mere clay figures.
“Won’t it be enough if I charge into their formation, slay their generals, and seize their banners?” Li Mo chuckled, as if he were merely talking about having two extra bowls of porridge in the morning.
“You...” Commander Qu wanted to say that the tales of slaying generals, seizing banners, and taking heads amidst a myriad of soldiers were only good to hear.
In reality, how could it be that easy?
But looking into Li Mo’s eyes, he saw not the fearlessness of a newborn calf but a well-thought-out consideration, and the young man’s clear gaze was inexplicably profound.
Yes, he had already witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield.
How could he be someone full of ambition for achievements and eager for quick success?
“If Han Zhen dies, the enemy army will indeed collapse without an attack, and Qingmu City will have no more worries, but... how do you plan to do it?”
Li Mo said, “I am now confident in bearing the might of a hundred armies.”
“?!”
Commander Qu’s eyes widened.
Wouldn’t that be... an enemy of ten thousand?
The legendary ancient overlords, in rumors, were no more than that.
Even the overlords were born divine, and must have started martial arts earlier. At the same age, their Realm should have been higher than Li Shaoxia’s.
“Ying Bing will assist me with her music.”
“When I bear the might of a hundred armies, I can try to strike in one go,” Li Mo said, clenching his fist and looking at the enemy army, which was already at the city gates and well-ordered.
Commander Qu remained silent for a long time, and after a long period of quiet, this iron-blooded Qingmu Commander’s eyes softened:
“Someone, fetch my armor and present it to Li Shaoxia.”
“Brother Li, aren’t you unable to ride a horse? We can use a combined technique!” Huang Donglai said through gritted teeth.
Brother Li had given him Buyun Boots. If Brother Li couldn't ride a horse, how could he charge into the formation with the army?
They could only use a combined technique, forming a “Prosperous Wife Double-Faced Turtle”!
“No, that won’t be necessary. Brother Donglai, you should still focus on finding solutions regarding poisons,” Li Mo said with a wry smile.
With a thought, a white cloud, appearing from who knew where, gathered before him into a white cloud horse, its four hooves trailing smoke, incredibly divine.
After obtaining the Divine Form of the Great Sage Disturbing the Heavenly Palace, even the Divine Ability he had previously comprehended gained new understanding.
Somersault Cloud, why must it be a cloud?
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
The battle roars of the Wuling War Colossi echoed through the sky.
In the eyes of each of them, a green fire ignited, and after yesterday’s battle, their aura seemed to grow even more vast and powerful.
And the warriors of the Southern Border tribes had bloodshot eyes, and various beastial features of Disaster Beasts had appeared on their bodies.
They had undergone Fusion with the totems of various tribes, which was called Ancestral Spirit Possession.
The martial arts of the Demon Summoning Sect’s Hundred Beast Hall were originally derived from this Ancestral Spirit Possession method, modified by Han Zhen.
A black tide swept towards Qingmu City like a flood, making the city seem somewhat precarious.
Han Zhen stood atop the Divine Temple Palace, his hands clasped behind his back.
Ancient, dark-red patterns seemed to faintly flash across his exposed skin.
Today’s battle would indeed be even more brutal.
Everyone on both sides held their breath.
Perhaps.
This battle would determine the victor?
Dong—
Dong dong—
Dong dong dong—
The thunder beast skin drums suddenly sounded, and the heart of Qingmu City let out a strong, powerful beat, even shaking the loose stones on the ground.
The calamity-warding array patterns on the city wall flickered.
At the same time.
The city gate suddenly opened.
The sound of horse hooves, like a sudden downpour and thunder, rang out, and a large contingent of Qingmu City soldiers, riding exotic warhorses, charged out.
“The Qingmu defenders actually dare to take the initiative to attack?”
“Haha, relying on natural defenses but not defending, actively leaving the city, seeking death!” The besieging party cheered excitedly.
Hmm?
Han Zhen narrowed his eyes, vaguely feeling that something was amiss.
“Could it be that they want to create a diversion, taking the opportunity to let someone break through?” the Hall Master of Hundred Beasts mused.
The “someone” he referred to was naturally Ying Bing and Li Mo.
However, just as he thought this, he saw the figure charging at the very front, riding a white cloud warhorse, from afar.
Li Mo?!
The Hall Master of Hundred Beasts’s face showed astonishment.
“Li Mo is crazy? And he’s making the Qingmu defenders go crazy with him?!”
Even Han Zhen couldn’t understand why Li Mo would abandon defending the city and charge out with the cavalry, even leading the charge.
Furthermore.
His gaze was piercing, his fiery golden eyes penetrating through thousands of soldiers and horses.
He was looking at himself.
This was another anomaly that baffled him.
But recalling yesterday’s ambush by a feigned display of strength, he clenched his fists.
“All troops, heed my command, temporarily halt the siege!!”
Right, Li Mo is charging into battle, then Ying Bing...
Zheng—
Just then, the sound of the thunder beast skin drums on the city wall became more rapid.
The solemn zither music of clashing weapons and horses echoed across the battlefield, the sounds of battle, played by a powerful Yi Soul, drowning out all other noise.
Ying Bing sat on the city wall, her jade countenance serene, her fingers plucking the zither.
She was doing two things.
Firstly, controlling the thunder beast skin battle drums and playing the “Heavenly King Breaking Formation Melody,” and impossibly combining the two to create an unparalleled murderous heavenly sound, strengthening her own side and intimidating the enemy.
Secondly, using Scarlet Phoenix Qi to command the army formation.
There were two groups of cavalry that charged out.
Aside from Li Mo, the other group was personally led by Commander Qu. freewebnovёl.ƈom
“Surround and kill them!” Han Zhen’s sharp voice pierced the battlefield.
All the mountain-like Wuling War Colossi, the dense enemy troops, and various high-grade Disaster Beasts, gathered in an instant.
The War Colossi exuded an ancient and savage solemnity, the enemy troops tapped their rattan armor with their weapons, and the Disaster Beasts were all monstrous and bizarre.
Compared to these.
The two groups of cavalry did not seem grand in ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) scale, even appearing somewhat small.
There were only so many horses.
Eighty thousand people, how many cavalry could you expect?
Even with the infantry closely following, it still seemed insufficient.
“Whoosh...”
The rustling wind swept past.
Li Mo listened to the clashing weapons and horses played by Ice Cube, and without him actively doing anything, the Qitian Douzhan Secret silently began to operate.
His whole body felt as if his blood had been set ablaze.
The hammer in his hand was burning hot.
He inexplicably recalled a memory from his previous life, during the confusion in the womb: the retired soldier old man upstairs liked to listen to opera facing the sun in the morning, which kept him from sleeping in.
Just as he was now charging into battle facing the morning sun.
Which one was the old man’s favorite to listen to?
The powerful roar of Beijing opera seemed to echo in his ears:
‘My loved ones in distress, my rage reaches three thousand zhang; I charge into the enemy formation, fighting against all demons.’
