Free Web NovelChapter 459: Chapter 55: Clash
Shennong listened to Shen Fei’s words and recalled the various issues that had arisen during this time.
He had long wanted to reconcile the disputes between the tribes and the cultivator forces.
Perhaps reaching the Human Immortal Realm, becoming the strongest of these two forces and their actual dominator.
His every move no longer represented just himself but also everyone under his command.
This is why Chi Songzi and Ma Shihuang always targeted Gonggong and Zhurong.
Although the cultivator forces represented by Chi Songzi and Ma Shihuang indeed had stronger high-end combat power than the tribal forces led by Gonggong and Zhurong.
But regardless of the tribe’s real power or the mobilization of resources, many rare resources were mostly in the hands of the tribes.
After becoming the Common Lord, Shennong himself did not manage the tribes as orderly and clearly as the early Fuxi Celestial Emperor did.
He had indeed managed the Lie Mountain Tribe when he was not the Common Lord, but today’s Lie Mountain Tribe is far larger than it was back then.
Added to his severely injured state, he naturally felt incapable.
"Perhaps you are right, the seeds of disaster were sown back then."
Shennong’s expression was somewhat dark, and he even mocked himself: "Maybe I’m only suited to be this Common Lord.
Perhaps merely studying herbs is quite good."
But Shen Fei’s expression was serious; although this might just be a part of history or a Secret Realm created by some powerful beings to simulate events that happened on Blue Star.
Shen Fei still spoke solemnly: "The Common Lord’s contributions to the Human Race should not be overlooked, without the Common Lord.
The Human Race would still suffer from harsh environments, many poisonous plants."
"They would also suffer from injuries by Exotic Beasts with no cure, being forced to watch their kin die."
"Shennong’s Holy Virtue is known by the Human Race."
Shennong shook his head and said: "Being affected by life and death clouds one’s mind, eyes blurred.
Enough, I want to see who is the Heavenly Pride that can defeat Lie Mountain several times, seems not bad."
Shennong nodded, "Let Duan Xiu come forth, my old bones must still fight a battle.
So that you won’t think that the Medicine Immortal path can only heal people and not fight!"
"Priest Duan Xiu!"
Duan Xiu had been paying attention here, and upon hearing Shen Fei’s call, he instantly appeared beside Shen Fei.
Shen Fei overlooked the battlefield below and said: "Let Priest Duan Xiu spar with the Common Lord here."
"An honor for me."
Duan Xiu looked at Shennong, having researched witchcraft with Chi You, treating all Eastern tribes as barbarians, unworthy of spreading Dao.
Duan Xiu combined his research on Immortal Techniques with Exotic Beast power to create the path of witchcraft.
Upon ascending to True Immortal, he had yet to face a Human Immortal who truly practiced Immortal Techniques.
"To avoid affecting the battle below, let’s fight outside the heavens."
"Good!"
The next moment, both disappeared from Shen Fei’s sight.
Leaving Shen Fei regretful, "Expected to witness Tier Eleven battle scenes but don’t know what they’d be like."
In the past, just four people’s divine battle on Blue Star sent ripples nearly everywhere on Blue Star.
If it were Tier Eleven, its effects would cause massive anomalies in the stability of Great Wilderness’s space and the hardness of the matter.
But also knew.
Their battle’s ripples alone can be deadly to those not yet in the Human Immortal Realm.
Like Gonggong, those in Human Immortal battles must fight in the sky, far from the battlefield.
Let alone Shennong and Duan Xiu, who were already True Immortals.
Shen Fei returned to the Jiuli Tribe and immediately ordered: "Attack!"
It was nearly the time of the final decisive battle; many strategies had already been laid out.
War is nothing more than stacking chips on both sides, whether it be intelligence, preliminary engagements, or the growth of one’s power.
All aimed at weakening the opponent’s chips and increasing one’s own.
And war merely displays results, to this extent, Lie Mountain had already been greatly weakened.
If not able to win Lie Mountain openly and fairly, Jiuli would not match Youxiong.
Even when Medicine Ancestor asked whether to poison Lie Mountain Army’s logistics, triggering the toxicity when war breaks out.
Then surely Lie Mountain would be in one-sided doom.
But Shen Fei refused.
If such strategies were used for victory, Shennong might not recognize the strength of Jiuli.
War is an extension of politics.
Shen Fei’s goal was to annex Lie Mountain first, preventing Lie Mountain from joining Youxiong.
Moreover, Shennong’s severe injury was likely cured by Profound Lady on Youxiong’s side.
If not, Jiuli, with two True Immortals, wouldn’t thus be defeated.
If Shennong hadn’t been severely wounded by ’Soulbreaking Aconite,’ surely he’d be the strongest among the four True Immortals.
Just the years Shennong had lived could not be compared to the other three True Immortals.
Therefore, Jiuli losing to Yan and Huang Alliance is reasonable.
"As long as this battle succeeds, annexing Lie Mountain will be like a smooth sailing."
"Jiuli ultimately must endure the tempering of blood and flame, cannot repeatedly rely on such tactics for success..."
Shen Fei’s plan was simple, not daring to guarantee if this Ancient Secret Realm would spawn more True Immortals for Xuanyuan.
Especially since.
In this world of many Dao Lineages, although almost never emerging, like Lix Mountain, Jie, etc., including Chan likely behind Xuanyuan.
Equivalent to Xuanyuan, Chi You, and Shennong, acting as the backdrop for Professional.
These Dao Lineage existences are also background for Shen Fei stirring the grand situation.
But just like Shen Fei can interfere in the three tribes’ contention.
Might further increase his challenge.
After finding out that the Ancient Secret Realm might be higher power fostering talent on Blue Star as a cradle.
Can’t guarantee no one controls Zulu Battlefield behind the scenes?
As Shen Fei ordered, the Jiuli Army poised began surging toward Lie Mountain like waves.
Countless artillery roared, while Lie Mountain Tribe had already prepared, with rows of siege crossbows resembling crossbows, and giant catapults followed suit.
The next moment.
"Boom boom boom boom——!"
Terrifying flames erupted on both sides, one from Jiuli’s cannons, the other from Lie Mountain’s fired crossbow arrows and flaming projectiles thrown by catapults.
Shen Fei raised an eyebrow, "Lie Mountain truly are masters of fire.
Despite a short time without creating cannons, using crossbows was merely about speed and accuracy."
"Painting a tiger instead resembles a dog!"
Shen Fei shook his head, Lie Mountain initially focused wrong, thinking guns’ destructive power was due to fire?
Due to speed, then power.
