The group flew silently to the border.
Before they even reached the border, having flown only about four hundred miles, they heard the sounds of fighting.
It gradually became deafening.
Everyone's expression instantly darkened.
They did not expect that the front line had already collapsed, and the garrison army had been repelled and had to retreat.
Clearly, the collapse of the front lines occurred simultaneously with the riots in Mufeng City.
Otherwise, the message would have reached Mufeng City long ago, and Kong Hao would not have stayed in Mufeng City. Instead, he would have led his men to the front line to provide support much earlier.
"Everyone, prepare to engage the enemy!"
Kong Haofei stood directly in front, dressed in a black robe, exuding a powerful aura, leading the crowd to greet the garrison army.
At the same time, Kong Hao's voice came from behind, "Lu Tao, you can continue singing later!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the flying cultivators changed drastically once again.
In fact, when they heard the sounds of fighting, many of them had a bad feeling, and the words of the Master of the Kong Family confirmed their suspicions.
Traitors also emerged within the garrison.
Otherwise, the 500,000-strong garrison would never have collapsed so quickly.
This shows how much preparation the ancient barbarian kingdom made for this attack.
"Yes, Lord!"
Lu Tao sighed silently.
Even the garrison has a traitor; this battle is going to be difficult.
As Lu Tao flew, he pondered a solution.
If the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom were to take over Mufeng City and Yongkang Prefecture, Lu Tao would be in serious trouble.
After all, he had made too much of a splash just now, and the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom would definitely not let him off the hook.
In fact, the ancient barbarian kingdom would rather let a deity go than let Lu Tao escape.
Before long, the group was met by the garrison army.
In the pitch-black night, everywhere were the figures of people fighting, densely packed, hundreds of thousands of them.
One side fled, the other pursued; the scene was breathtaking.
Every second, people were killed; others chose to self-destruct, perishing together with the enemy, causing large numbers of people to fall.
The thunderous roar shook the heavens.
The screams were deafening.
At this moment, the garrison army was suffering repeated defeats, and was being pursued all the way here by the ancient barbarian kingdom.
It's almost as if they have no chance to retaliate.
All the soldiers guarding the area were wounded.
Whether they were martial arts practitioners who ran on the ground, forging bones and refining organs, or innate and grandmaster-level experts who flew in the sky, everyone was injured.
As for the number of people, it is only over 200,000.
Of the more than 500,000 troops stationed there, 300,000 were lost or deserted in a short period of time.
This number is chilling.
You should know that those soldiers were at least at the Bone Forging Realm.
"Kill them!"
"Slaughter Yongkang Prefecture!"
"Annihilate the Great Gan Kingdom!"
The pursuing army of the ancient barbarian kingdom was in high spirits, with every face filled with fervor and excitement, charging fearlessly at the garrison of the Daqian kingdom.
Furthermore, if they suffer serious injuries that affect their combat effectiveness, they will decisively rush into the garrison and self-destruct.
This suicidal attack was the reason for the defeat of the garrison.
This is not only true for those at the Refining Organs realm, but also for their Innate Realm experts.
Each time he self-destructed, he would take away several or even dozens of people from Dagang Kingdom.
These people were like suicide squad members, completely unconcerned about death.
Moreover, the army of the ancient barbarian kingdom also included thousands of demonic beasts, specifically demonic elephants, all of which possessed the cultivation and strength of the Refining Organs realm.
Each one is two zhang tall and more than three zhang long. When they move, they resemble a house.
In particular, they are extremely fast and very agile when running.
Each strike could easily kill a cultivator at the Internal Organ Refinement stage; even a cultivator at the peak of Internal Organ Refinement could not withstand its attacks for long.
and.
These demonic elephants are also strange. Just like those assassins, they almost completely abandon defense and only attack. Once they are seriously injured, they directly cause the five elements to become disordered and then self-destruct.
The power of that self-destruction was even more exaggerated than that of the Innate Realm.
A single self-destruction could take away dozens of people.
Something's not right!
Lu Tao observed from afar using his Heavenly Eye. Under its gaze, he discovered that the power within these ancient barbarian soldiers and demonic elephants was extremely turbulent, seemingly out of control.
Furthermore, Lu Tao sensed an extremely dense aura of death emanating from them.
He looked like he was about to die.
"A secret technique!"
Lu Tao thought of a certain possibility.
Clearly, the ancient barbarian kingdom used some kind of secret method to allow these soldiers and demonic elephants to gain immense power at the cost of their lives.
Knowing full well that their lives were short, they chose to self-destruct as soon as they were injured.
The suicidal attack, coupled with betrayal, led to the collapse of the Da Gan Kingdom's garrison in less than half an hour, forcing them to retreat to Mu Feng City.
The purpose of the Great Gan Kingdom's garrison is very simple: to stall.
They wanted to stall until these assassins and demons were exhausted; they also wanted to stall until reinforcements arrived.
Otherwise, in a head-on confrontation, none of the low-level martial artists or innate experts in the garrison army would survive.
The Grandmasters and Divine Platform Realm cultivators, however, fought fiercely, their eyes bloodshot, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Among them was Qi Gan, who was besieging the generals and commanders of the garrison with the cultivators of the ancient barbarian kingdom. He was extremely brave.
now.
Qi Gan spotted Kong Hao and his group from afar with his divine sense and shouted, "Everyone else, halt!"
Upon hearing this, more than 100,000 people from the ancient barbarian kingdom immediately stopped their pursuit.
These people were all deserters from Da Gan.
Clearly, he had arrived at the battlefield earlier and informed the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom about the situation in Mufeng City, not expecting that more than 100,000 people would die in vain.
These people were considered Qi Gan's confidants.
The advantage now lies with the ancient barbarian kingdom.
Even without these 100,000-plus men, they could still defeat the garrison of the Da Gan Kingdom, take Mu Feng City, and capture Yong Kang Prefecture.
Although the rebellion launched by Qi Gan was not completely successful, it was not without its achievements. At least three Divine Platforms and forty or fifty Grandmasters were killed.
This resulted in the support team brought by Kong Hao being far from sufficient in terms of combat strength.
Once they quickly take down the garrison, even if other reinforcements from Yongkang Prefecture arrive later, it will be too late.
"Qi Gan, I've come to kill you!"
Kong Hao soared into the sky and charged towards Qi Gan.
If you were to ask Kong Hao who he hated most in his life, he might have thought about it carefully before, but now it goes without saying that it was the traitor Qi Gan.
He wished he could kill him as soon as possible.
"kill!"
With the addition of Kong Hao and several other powerful figures from the Divine Platform, the generals of the Great Gan Kingdom, who had been fighting and retreating, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the situation remains far from optimistic for them.
"Assist the garrison troops in their retreat!"
Grandmaster-level experts also rushed to the battlefield to fight alongside the garrison army.
Everyone knew that even with their help, they were no match for the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom and could only retreat to Mufeng City.
An army of 600,000 to 700,000 against 200,000—that's practically an overwhelming advantage.
Other innate experts also soared into the sky, joining the battle against the innate experts from the ancient barbarian kingdom.
Seeing Lu Tao rushing towards the Innate Realm of the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom, Qi Gan immediately shouted, "Be careful of that boy, he has the strength of a mid-stage Grandmaster."
The other innate beings from the ancient barbarian kingdom decisively distanced themselves from Lu Tao and did not engage him in combat.
However, how could their speed compare to Lu Tao's?
With a sudden sound.
Lu Tao unleashed his full potential, instantly bursting into the crowd of Xiantian people. With a swift stroke of his blade, he slashed and killed several people in succession, as if cutting watermelons.
Their attacks, however, did not cause Lu Tao any harm.
"Boy, have the guts to fight me!"
An elderly man at the seventh level of the Grandmaster realm abandoned his opponent and rushed towards Lu Tao, provoking him with words.
Lu Tao cursed, "Are all the ancient barbarian kingdoms this shameless? They're all in their seventies or eighties, yet they still bully a junior like me who's only at the early stage of the Innate Realm?"
While cursing, Lu Tao secretly channeled his internal energy into a storage bag.
"Hmph, there's no such thing on the battlefield. You'd better prepare to die!"
The old man was shameless enough not to be affected by Lu Tao's words and continued to relentlessly pursue Lu Tao.
What frustrated and shocked him was that Lu Tao's speed was so great that even he couldn't keep up. "How is this possible?"
"Dragon's Movement Technique (Perfected)".
The high-grade Earth-rank movement technique was obtained from Kong Hao.
Lu Tao has performed such a great service, how could he not try to gain some benefits from Kong Hao?
He knew this battle would be difficult, and since he couldn't improve his strength in other ways for the time being, he could only ask Kong Hao for a few cultivation manuals.
Kong Hao naturally did not hesitate to grant Lu Tao's request, handing over all the cultivation techniques he had learned to Lu Tao.
Although he didn't think Lu Tao would gain much during this period.
However, at this moment.
Kong Hao, who had been paying close attention to Lu Tao, was momentarily stunned when he realized that Lu Tao's Dragon Soaring Movement Technique was even more skillful than his own.
"That's so perverted?"
Kong Hao was extremely shocked.
His talent was already good enough, but compared to Lu Tao, he seemed to be a world of difference.
You should know that he has been cultivating this high-grade Earth-rank movement technique for more than 20 years, and he still hasn't fully comprehended it.
But Lu Tao, in less than half an hour, had already achieved perfect understanding.
This made him realize once again how extraordinary Lu Tao was.
"This kid's a bit cunning."
The next moment, Kong Hao chuckled to himself.
He knew that if Lu Tao mastered all the cultivation techniques he had given him, his strength would definitely surpass that of a seventh-level Grandmaster, but he deliberately chose not to fight him at this moment.
He simply frantically traversed the Innate Battlefield, slaying one Innate Death Warrior after another.
The old man, a seventh-level Grandmaster, was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
In particular, the fact that the self-destruction of those innate assassins had no effect on Lu Tao was even more terrifying to him.
"I'll kill him!"
The next instant, a Grandmaster at the peak of his cultivation abandoned his opponent and charged towards Lu Tao.
Lu Tao decisively used the Soaring Dragon Body Technique to escape, his speed was extremely fast, even faster than a Grandmaster at the peak of his skill.
However, he could no longer continue hunting down the other assassins from the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom.
that's all.
A moment later.
As if in a panic, Lu Tao fled to the front of the ancient barbarian army.
"Lu Tao, come back quickly!"
Those from the Da Gan Kingdom who recognized Lu Tao's Divine Platform, Grandmaster, and Innate Realm were all greatly shocked and offered words of advice to Lu Tao.
Lu Tao ignored him and instead stretched out his right hand.
A crystal-clear ice bead appeared in my hand...
