That dizzy feeling lasted for over ten breaths before he slowly recovered from it.

In the next instance, Feng Yu slowly raged, causing the platform made of thick wood to tear apart. Feng Yu didn’t bother about it as he stared deathly forwards.

“Since the army is already in chaos, why are we still fighting? Meshed up and waiting to be slain one by one by the enemy? Send my orders. Let all those who can get away to retreat. Get 3 miles out and form up once more! As for the black cloud cavalry and tiger leopard cavalry, it’s best if they can escape, but if they can’t, then it doesn’t matter!”

A weird glow flashed across Xiong Kui’s eyes as he looked at Feng Yu with praise. To be able to regain rationality so quickly was impressive.

As expected from someone from Yunxia Mountain who was able to be on his level from the same generation.

A sharp glow flashed across Feng Yu’s eyes as he looked on with killing intent at where the killing shouts echoed from.

“All I want to know now is who that person is!”

“I am also really curious! Based on what I know, only Xuanyuan Tong and Zhu Junhou from Xuan Mountain City can use 3 thousand to crush 50 thousand.”

Xiong Kui’s brows were furrowed tight, “Only Xuan Mountain City’s dew provinces are really unstable recently. Especially after the rise of Linlan City, they have 150 cloud warships and 600 thousand troops. Xuanyuan Tong is said to be in secluded cultivation, so how can Zhu Junhou leave now?”

Whilst they spoke, the black wave of cavalry were given the order to spread out as they hurriedly dashed in all 4 directions.

The field of sight of the 2 of them opened up, only to see the region spreading many miles was covered in corpses, blood flowing like a river. Ten thousand odd people would forever lay on that piece of wilderness. The armor they wore was either black or white. They were all exquisitely crafted talisman armor and talisman weapons causing Feng Yu’s chest to be like numerous sharp needles stabbing in!

Tens of thousands of feet out, a red armored person riding on a dragon horned winged horse and holding a purple lightning spear finally appeared in front of the 2 of them. Although he was covered in heavy armor and his face couldn’t be seen carefully, the 2 of them were able to recognize that it was someone that they were familiar with within.

“It is Zong Yuan!”

Feng Yu clenched his fists, the energy around his body exploded furiously. “How can it be him?”

“Did the people on the frontlines see wrongly?”

Xiong Kui’s eyes were filled with disbelief, “When we saw him last time in Jiefu City, although Zong Yuan broke through to martial ancestor, he didn’t merge with a spiritual vein. How could he be so strong? Directly crossing 4 grades and killing an 8 meridian Xuanwu? Eh? It seems like he is relying on an external pill. His purple lightning spear is also a grade 5 spiritual artifact. The armor on his body doesn’t look ordinary. However, even then it shouldn’t be possible for him to go up against a Xuanwu ancestor…”

Seemingly noticing the gazes of the 2 of them, that red armored cavalry also looked over. Ice cold with no emotion at all. He only raised his spear and provocatively pointed it at the platform.

Feng Yu’s mouthful of teeth pretty much bit into pieces at that moment. However, he suppressed the rage in him.

“Order Mu Ling Xie Nu to change the formation. Keep the wings and tilt the formation to form into a crescent moon. We need the middle to be thick and the sides to be thin. Order the 2 of them not to easily engage with that Zong Yuan! Prioritize commanding the army, I want that Zong Yuan to be buried here…”

Many orders were swiftly given out. On the left of the platform, 150 thousand infantry, 30 square formations instantly changed. The formation stetted to slant towards the left. It swiftly changed in an orderly and strict manner. The 30 square formations, 150 thousand elite troops still had their backs facing the platform. The remaining infantry had 15 of them spread to each of the wings.

The cavalry that was reorganized into their formation didn’t attack anymore. Only quietly sticking numerous miles away staring aggressively.

Xiong Kui slightly nodded his head as he looked on. What the cavalry army relied on were impact and momentum. The moment this crescent moon formation with was like an iron wall blocked the charge. Then, when the 2 wings surrounded over and the Yunxia Mountain cavalry headed over from the tail. Then the 3 thousand cavalry of Xuan Mountain City could only be crushed to dust.

However, at the next moment, he suddenly felt a wolf-like vicious stare stab on his face. Xiong Kui turned around to see Feng Yu looking viciously with an ugly expression at him. He couldn’t help but smile. Before knowing whether or not Zong Yuan was truly strong, he wasn’t going to toss in the troops of Blazing Flame Mountain foolishly in.

Although he didn’t believe it in his heart, the death of Yang Xuan and the fall of 12 martial ancestors was an undeniable truth.

However, they were still allies, and he couldn’t reject it now. Taking in a deep breath, Xiong Kui made his mind up, saying expressionlessly, “I will send 50 thousand troops to you. Mu Jiang will also be moved to the left-wing. Are you satisfied? As for the 50 thousand cavalry of my Blazing Flame Mountain…”

Xiong Kui paused, smiling as he looked into the distance,” to catch bandits, we should catch their ringleader first!”

Feng Yu’s gaze turned cold as he scoffed coldly. He looked forward, with these 200 thousand elite infantry, he was confident that even if the enemy were 5 times larger they would still be crushed! As for that Mu Jiang, although he wasn’t a famous general he was still a 7-grade Xuanwu expert and was of some use.

The Xuan Mountain cavalry wasn’t in a hurry to charge at their formation. Instead, they temporarily stopped their horses, either tending to wounds or taking out pills and beans to feed their horses in an orderly manner. Although they didn’t face any problems in the engagement, still a hundred over of them fell whilst they also used up a lot of energy. Since they had some time to rest, naturally they should utilize it.

Resting up well, until their stamina and internal energy were mostly recovered did they move their horses to gallop forwards.

This time, they used a fish scale formation to charge right at the firmest and strongest part of the crescent moon formation. The tip of the army was still Zong Yuan.

10 miles away on the roof of the carriage, Li Luo was squinting as he looked at the bunch of soldiers wielding long spears, covered in black armor at the front of the Yunxia Mountain army.

Even if they were separated by several miles, if one looked out, one still felt suppressed. There were many closely packed and dense spears pointed forwards and many huge square shields stuck into the ground like iron walls. They shone a cold glow, hundreds of thousands of people stretching numerous miles. It was an amazing and majestic scene.

“Yunxia Mountain City is famous in Donglin for their cavalry. Tiger leopard cavalry, fire wolf cavalry, and blackbird cavalry could all sweep a region. However, their infantry is also not bad. These 4 thousand black cloud dragon spear warriors might not be as good as the iron tiger halberd warriors or the maniac bear armored soldiers of Blazing Flame Mountain, but they can be listed in the top 40 of the Cloud Continent. And also Mu Jiang and Xie Nu although they are grade 7 only. Their talents are said to be even higher than that Yang Xuan.”

Just as Li Luo said that he looked towards, only to see a huge number of cavalry swarming over in this direction, causing a sky full of dust. It seems like they only needed tens of breaths to charge to the front of the carriage formation. A full 50 thousand cavalry caused the earth to shake, the air to tremble, stunning the soul.

The corner of Li Luo’s lips raised. The true trouble had finally arrived. Who knows how this prince was prepared to deal with it.

In the next moment, Zong Shou smiled too. Giving a hand sign, those iron tiger halberd warriors didn’t foolishly stand behind the carriage formation. Instead, they all opened the black curtains of the carriage and hid inside. They opened the carriages on the outside, what was revealed was three-arm giant crossbows that were already armed.

Pretty much at the same time, close to 150 crossbows carved with talismans shot out. In a blink of an eye, the bolts were 5 thousand steps out and then they instantly exploded.

At that moment, a huge fire cloud exploded on in Li Luo’s eyes. That stunning ring caused his ears to feel extremely uncomfortable.

Those iron tiger halberd warriors and Xuan Mountain warriors were also uncomfortable. Their expressions were filled with pain as blood seeped out from their ears.

Some weaker ones even fell to the ground due to the wind from the explosion.

When the flames dissipated, there was a small mushroom cloud which boomed into the air, rising close to a thousand feet.

Everyone, including those iron tiger halberd warriors who shot the crossbows, all looked on at a loss.

“That’s the three-arm spiritual crossbow from Kongqi Sect! And also the wind flame explosive arrows!”

Li Luo recognized the giant crossbow and arrows at first glance. His eyes opened wide. At that moment, only one side of this formation had fired, along with the other side weren’t there 300 in total? Just the overall value was close to 20 grade 7 beast crystals! And those wind flame explosive arrows were grade 4 and expensive. Even as a consumable item it was 1/10 of the piece of those crossbows. 150 arrows were 2 grade 7 beast crystals! That was a full 20 thousand grade 4 beast crystals.

No, the price of beast crystals fell tremendously. Like such military tools, even with hundreds of grade 7 beast crystals, one might not be able to buy it.

That Zong Shou was so rich. No wonder he was so confident. He had such a trump card.

Three-arm spiritual crossbows and wind flame explosive arrows were originally designed by Kongqi Sect to go against ascended ancestors. However, Zong Shou used them here. What a vicious move.

He had been too careless these few days. He had been cultivating and didn’t think that so many killing weapons were hidden in those hundreds of carriages.

Once the dust and smoke dissipated once more, one could see that the center of the explosion was a ten thousand foot radius circle. Around it was a huge bunch of corpses, 6 thousand people disappeared and were blown into pieces. The area nearby was covered in death. Half of the people suffered varying levels of injuries and laid on the ground. A large half of those grade 2 Windrider foals were shaken to death. Even if one was still alive they couldn’t run.

Zong Shou was feeling slightly pitiful. He didn’t have any men to use now, unable to retaliate. If not he only needed 3 thousand cavalry to charge in and he could massacre them all.
