At this moment Ruoshui didn’t look as lazy as usual. She looked at the corpses of the hundreds of purple cloud sword cavalry with great emotion.

Although they were dao soldiers with the same fame as the common people mysterious dragon warrior, the moment they faced off, the result was so cruel. Once one side’s morale and aura were scattered and suppressed.

She had followed the former ruler Zong Weiran. The teacher who had dragged her out from the mud was also really wise and intelligent.

However, in terms of the ability to lead hundreds of cavalry to charge a formation, compared to the current ruler, he was far off.

Just as she was distracted, she heard a voice by her ear. Yongqin was still grumbling about him, “He…he…he didn’t, that’s impossible. He was just grade 6, how could he grasp sword intent, the peak of sword intent…”

Ruoshui smiled, following which she played with Yongqin’s chin. Her eyes were pure with no evil, “Why are you stammering? I can’t hear you. Be well behaved. Next time you have to listen to junior brother’s words okay?”

Yongqin’s face flushed red. However, for some reason, she couldn’t speak smoothly.

In her heart, it was like a raging ocean. She recognized that it was the extreme of sword sense—the peak of the sword sense level of the martial path!

He was just at grade 6, but his martial path intent had reached a level where Xie An, Luo Shi, and even Xuanye, who she respected, could only look up to!

It was also extremely sentient—like that sword light had its spirit, its soul.

This was a sword path connecting with the spirit! At any time it could enter the sword soul level!

In mid-air, Zong Shou’s silver scale wind stepping beast was still galloping. This time it charged at that 30 thousand cavalry who followed behind.

The moment he got close he felt numerous black suppressive arrows fill the air as it covered over him.

“Wind defense!”

Zong Shou was composed, leading the cavalry force to shift slightly to avoid a large portion of the arrows. Then, the 240 silver scale wind stepping beasts used their natural skill, and wind roused up around their bodies.

Before most of the arrows could get close, they were blown away. The remaining portion was forced aside by the aura which the mysterious dragon warriors had gathered up.

Then, the 240 cavalry all stepped downwards! Charging into this 30 thousand cavalry troops.

Even without needing to use the sword, just the momentum from the beasts charging caused most of the cavalry, which were grade 2 and 3, to be trampled into meat paste.

Numerous humans and beasts were flung outwards by these silver scale wind stepping beasts. There was a route where the large swords swept by! Opening up a real blood road out from this enemy formation!

It was like a place with no one! The slightly skilled experts were instantly killed by Zong Shou. As for the 30 thousand cavalry, they weren’t able to block these 240 mysterious dragon warriors for even a moment.

A short while later, a grade 7 ascended ancestor wearing a green Taoist robe finally appeared in front of Zong Shou.

“It is Muling!”

Xuan Shu reminded him by the side. This was one of the top 4 grade 7 elite disciples that Tailing Sect had sent.

Zong Shou nodded his head, his face was slightly disappointed. The strength of these few grade 7 experts was just average.

Who knows if it was because he had broken through to the sword soul level of the sword path and his standards became high.

Muling fled for a moment. He then saw that the iron cavalry was still chasing closely behind and charging over. Their aura was like one with heaven and earth, becoming faster and faster and getting closer and closer. He knew that it was impossible to avoid and hide. As such, he decided not to escape. In an instant, he merged with the aura of the tens of thousands of cavalry troops. Numerous silver-white sword lights exploded out, covering heaven and earth as it swept towards the back.

“Taiqing Chengfeng Sword?”

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up, the fighting intent that had sunk slightly rose up once more. That brand new red colored sword in his hand slashed out once more.

The sword light flew about, instantly striking the sword of Muling several times.

The explosive energy directly spread all about. The wind surged. Within a thousand feet, all the cavalry whose strength didn’t reach grade 4 were all smacked aside. As for some of the even weaker ones their internal organs were directly shaken into powder.

The ground was also collapsing, and a thousand feet deep holes appeared in front of their eyes.

Just as Zong Shou’s silver scale wind stepping beast clashed with Muling’s body, that red-colored dragon-shaped sword light finally won, forcing aside that Taiqing Chengfeng sword.

Then, the sword spine powerfully smacked onto the head of Muling with a “kuang” sound. The grade 7 ascended experts directly went unconscious.

“Take him down for me!”

Zong Yuan was also quick with his hands, grabbing out as he captured this Muling. With true qi charging in, he locked up all his chakra meridians.

Looking out in front of him, it was vast and empty. They were about to pierce through these 30 thousand iron cavalry army.

Just at this moment, a low thunder-like horse hoof sounds spread out from afar.

Zong Shou looked over, only to see Ji Lingzi from Tailing Sect who had gathered roughly 300 purple cloud sword cavalry and was crazily charging over.

Zong Shou laughed coldly and didn’t come into contact with him. He led the 240 cavalry behind him to trample over the formation and go around them.

During the battle with Muling just now, although they successfully captured that person and didn’t lose any troops, they suffered some losses. The ten over cavalry behind Zong Shou were mostly injured by the sword energy. Some suffered heavy internal injuries and were even on the verge of dying. Only by relying on the help of the people around were they able to hold on and not collapse.

However, if they had another intense battle like just now, it would be tough to say how many of those 240 people would remain.

Although he was confident that he could trample over the formation and crush the enemy, he also wanted to try Ji Lingzi’s Taiqing Chengfeng sword, but he didn’t want to pay the price with the lives of the dao soldiers behind him.

The usage of troops would affect one’s life or death, survival or destruction, one had to be careful and consider the timing and opportunity as well as the situation that one was in.

In the enemy army, the geographical and sociological conditions were disadvantages to him. Only a dummy would go head on there.

Leading the cavalry army and bringing those 240 silver scale wind stepping beasts to make half a circle. In just a moment they were right in front of that 30 thousand cavalry formation.

At this moment, those people that followed Luoshi and the others, the hundreds of mysterious dragon warrior which had entered Lewu County all rushed over to gather up. In just a moment there were 400 of them once more.

The purple cloud sword cavalry also followed closely behind.

At this moment, Zong Shou suddenly stopped, leading 400 cavalry to move onto a small hill. He was expressionless as he looked down from above, coldly staring at the 300 purple cloud sword cavalry.

Ji Lingzi’s face was green, he felt that Zong Shou and also those 400 mysterious dragon warriors were like eagles in the sky, treating them as their prey.

At this moment, he was tempted to charge over and tear that person into pieces, beheading all of these mysterious dragon warriors. However, he knew that the morale of the 400 was extremely high! He definitely couldn’t take them head-on.

Not only couldn’t he fight, but he had to back off too! Out of the 30 thousand cavalry, only 24 thousand of them remained. At this moment, they were slowly retreating in an orderly manner.

Those purple cloud sword cavalry didn’t dare fall behind as they moved towards the cavalry formation and coordinated with one another.

Until those hundred thousand odd troops walked slowly over. A full 170 thousand elites all at one spot, their aura recovering and rising. Only then did Ji Lingzi heave a sigh of relief.

When roughly 2 thousand more black-armored cavalry charged out from the camp did Ji Lingzi’s eyes slowly calm down.

“This is the Yan City iron cavalry of Yuan Jiuchen’s, a bunch of elites built by the Han King placed under Yuan Jiuchen. It was said that they had all reached xiantain…”

Hearing Xuan Shu’s introduction, Zong Shou didn’t give a reaction as he looked towards where the commander flag was at.

A bright light flashing in his eyes, as he grasped everything within 50 miles into his eyes. He saw a middle-aged man sitting on a grade 5 mount. His expression was really cold.

He recognized this person. He had seen it in the pictures before he came, it was Yuan Jiuchen. He was at the center of the army, numerous elites surrounding him.

Zong Shou scoffed slightly and said coldly, “Hold up the flags!”

The few cavalry soldiers behind him understood, raising a flag high above. The red-colored banner wrote 4 large golden words-common people mysterious dragon!

And surrounding Xuan Shu, all the 400 common people mysterious dragon cavalry were all pumped up, the fighting intents rising upwards.

On the side of Ji Lingzi, he was astonished once more. He knew that the leader of the dragon warriors wasn’t only unparalleled at formation charging and martial path, he was also an expert at raising morale.

Something as simple as holding this common people mysterious dragon flag up offset the morale from those hundred thousand troops.

At this moment although he had gathered up all the remaining purple cloud sword cavalry and had 2 thousand decently strong Yan City cavalry, he also had 170 thousand elites as the back shield. However, he had no confidence to be able to win in this battle.

“It seems like that Yuan Jiuchen wouldn’t dare to fight!”

The one who spoke was a common people, a mysterious dragon warrior. He was the peak of grade 6 and was one of the 3 captains. At this moment he unwillingly scolded out coldly,”That dog has a day when he is scared!”

Before his words landed, a loud laugh spread out from all about, filled with mockery.

Xuan Shu’s expression was solemn, “That Yuan Jiuchen has always been good at using troops, I am afraid it is the same today too.”

Zong Shou nodded his head slightly as a sort of recognition. Looking at that army formation, over a thousand people were lined up in an orderly manner. Some of the elites were gathered together, getting ready for things to happen around.

If they wanted to forcefully attack the formation, they had to pay a huge price.

This was something that he had predicted. However, personally looking at it, he felt regretful. If he was able to take the head of that person today, it would be most delightful, but there would be many unavoidable troubles.

Thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou led the silver scale wind stepping beast down the mountain, ordering the cavalry force to gallop into the distance. They had lost their fighting chance for today.

On the side of Ji Lingzi, a complicated taste lingered in his mouth, huge amounts of unwillingness with some helplessness as he shouted out, “Who are you? Do you dare to leave your name?”

The side of the common people path was silent and they knew that the person Ji Lingzi was asking was Zong Shou.

Zong Shou didn’t even turn his head back, he originally didn’t want to reply. However, after thinking about it, he smiled, “Common people path, Tanqiu!”
