187 Two-Knife Cliff Ten
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The momentum surged to the sky! The sound reverberated for miles around!
A powerful aura soared straight into the sky!
The scout had just returned to his side and hurriedly reported what he had seen to his superior.
Before the thousand-strong army, the leading general rode atop a ten-foot-long tiger. This man was seven feet tall. He wore a coarse cloth robe and carried a bronze hammer in his hand, estimated to weigh a thousand pounds.
His expression was serious, exuding an imposing aura even without anger!
The banners fluttered fiercely in the wind. A team of 1,000 people, arranged in ten rows, with scouts surveying the surrounding area.
The thousand-strong force exuded a chilling aura of bloodlust. Their armor, though worn now, looked somewhat old then, but their weapons gleamed, indicating they were well-maintained.
A man dressed as an adjutant, in chainmail, quickly approached the general. "Captain Guan, a scout just reported that there's one ahead. The leader looks like Yun Qing."
Captain Guan nodded. Looking into the distance, he saw a murderous aura soaring into the sky, accompanied by the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling, a violent momentum, and a huge vortex—it was all due to the convergence of a great deal of blood energy.
The voice was gruff as it said, "Come with me to pay them a visit first. As long as they're alright, that old scoundrel Gao has brought soldiers out. We still need to be cautious."
The adjutant immediately accepted the order, saying, "Yes, sir." He then ordered a scout to go ahead and negotiate. The army arrived shortly after.
Upon receiving the order, the scout quickly turned his horse around and headed towards Yunqing.
Yun Qing's troops remained on standby. Less than half an incense stick's time later, seeing the scout approaching, the scout shouted, "Is that General Yun Qing? My master! It's Commandant Guan, here to pay a visit!"
Then, a moment later, he arrived before the crowd. Dismounting, he bowed and said, 'Is this General Yun Qing?'
Yun Qing nodded. "That's right, your master is Commandant Guan."
The scout immediately nodded and said, "Yes, General Yun, I am indeed Captain Guan, and I will be coming up shortly."
He Chen ignored the killing points and, at this moment, cautiously looked at the six people in front of him.
At this moment, the six men cursed inwardly, 'This isn't a Martial King, this is clearly a killing star! He truly is a killing star. When we get back, we'll definitely chop the intelligence agent into pieces!'
The members of the Longevity Cult and the Crimson Flame Demon Cult, driven by selfishness and self-interest, disregarded their subordinates and quickly turned to flee. They showed absolutely no semblance of the demeanor of true masters.
How could I let go of the kill points I had already secured?
He Chen covered a thousand miles in a single step, as fast as lightning. With a flash of sword light, he slashed a thousand times. Five people appeared from the front, back, above, and below, and suddenly a fierce sword light appeared. The sword light flashed and was so dazzling that it was as if they were blinded in an instant.
Then, the blade's energy engulfed the figures, accompanied by numerous clanging sounds, splattering blood, and a continuous flow of blood. When the blade's light dissipated, the five people, riddled with hundreds of cuts, fell from the sky in pieces.
Blood fell like rain, and corpses littered the ground, making some people on the ground vomit.
Then, before he could even spit it out, another flash of light appeared, the Thousand Slashes reappeared, the Gentleman's Blade swept out horizontally, hundreds of heads flew into the sky, the path to the mortal world was severed, death!
In an instant, blood gushed out like rain, flowing all over the ground. The grass and trees on the ground had already turned yellow and withered; otherwise, life could have been extended!
The air was thick with the stench of blood, yet the entire forest was eerily quiet, as if some terrifying being was awakening.
Suddenly, terrifying black energy rapidly gathered, and the entire Two Blades Cliff began to crumble and crack, as something began to awaken from the ground.
The earth collapsed, and rocks began to fall off the Two Knife Cliffs. The sound carried far and wide. People living in Wanzhou and Dalong Prefecture thought it was an earthquake!
Rocks flew everywhere; no wild beasts had escaped, for all the wild animals in the mountains were dead. He Chen took a step forward and quickly flew into the sky, where the surroundings seemed to be turning over like a dragon.
The entire Liangdao Cliff Mountain collapsed, and all the trees on the mountain died. The vast expanse, stretching for ten miles, was a scene of withering and decay.
The night was eerily quiet, with continuous rumbling sounds all around.
At the front of Yun Qing's troops, Captain Guan rode a tiger and arrived. He dismounted from the tiger's back when they were ten zhang away, and came within one zhang of it.
At this moment, he was utterly astonished. This team was truly as rumored; their strength was unbelievably high. Wasn't it said that only the leader, Yun Qing, and a few others were at the sixth rank?
How come everyone here is at the fifth or sixth rank? Something's not right. How come you're all so strong? And the leaders, Yun Qing and the others, seem to have an odd aura.
You're all cheating! Your strength has changed so quickly! And you've all become stronger as a whole!
Captain Guan stepped forward, raised his voice, and stated his purpose directly: "General Yun, I have received orders from General Nian to escort you all for a portion of the journey, ensuring your safe arrival at the border."
The others remained still. Yun Qing stepped forward, and the army, not letting their guard down, thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Commandant Guan!"
Captain Guan himself knew that in the pitch black of night, his group, clad in armor and carrying swords and spears, would inevitably arouse suspicion.
He immediately explained, "We received orders to secretly escort you all safely to your destination. Unexpectedly, our scouts reported this tonight."
Prefect Gao, leading his private army, made a surprise nighttime departure. Therefore, he received word and rushed over without prior notice.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing and the others began to believe it to some extent.
Captain Guan took a step back. Now that he had explained, he was just about to return and mount his tiger.
Suddenly, the earth seemed to turn over like a dragon, the ground cracked, rocks crumbled, dust billowed, and yellow sand stretched for tens of thousands of miles, obscuring everything.
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered. Thick clouds blotted out the sun, shrouding the entire earth in smog. A chill swept in, the temperature plummeted, as if boundless cold air were rising from the ground.
Captain Guan strode forward, leaping onto his galloping mount, shouting wildly, "Be careful! Prepare for battle!"
Instantly, the order was quickly relayed. A large square formation was formed. Above the formation, a giant protective shield seemed to appear, enveloping everyone within it.
At this moment, Yun Qing's side also raised their military formation, forming a huge protective shield that blocked all the billowing sand and smog from the outside.
The continuous roaring sounds around me lasted for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, Two Blade Cliffs were no more, having collapsed to the ground with a thud. A colossal creature, thirty feet tall, with enormous skeletons, lay there; Two Blade Cliffs were merely its two tusks.
At this moment, the skeleton was crystal clear, shimmering. Four large legs were still buried in the earth.
In the dim light, there was a towering figure standing opposite him in the air.
