Chapter Two Hundred and Eighty Nine – The Reappearance of the Sound Storm (2/2)
This bone was much harder than they had imagined!
The dark circle of spectators was also completely silent.
They had remained here because they wanted to see a good fight, but right now, they were shocked by the fierceness of this fight. Usually, everyone would charge up together, furiously competing to take the spoils from the corpses. But looking at the mountains of corpses, they had no impulse at all. They only dazedly looked.
———
The middle-aged person and the large man also had dazed faces.
They were also shocked.
Yaomo were rampaging about now. Everyone knew that large scale battles could not be avoided. But when they finally saw a large scale battle, they found that these battles were far crueler than they could imagine.
“What is the use of individual bravery?” the large man sighed emotionally with slight dejection.
For a long time, increasing individual strength and going to Bloody Sky Metropolis Jie to become famous was the path to success of every young xiuzhe. Now, he found that the individual strength they had pursued with such hardship was almost ineffective in large scale battles.
The middle aged person knew the large man had received a blow and urged, “Daren, there is no need to be demotivated. If a jindan came, the results would be completely the opposite.”
The large man’s expression cheered up slightly. Upon further thought, he found that it was right. If a jindan came, they would have defeated this city long ago. They had all seen the strength of jindan experts before. Even such a strong city would probably be unable to stop the steps of a jindan expert.
———
Contrasting the deathly silence, the cheers coming from inside Golden Crow City rolled into the surroundings.
In reality, Golden Crow City was also on its last legs. The ling power of the two camps was almost completely used up. If they didn’t have so many people, with such ferocity and unfettered disregard of the consequences as they released the waves of hard lightning, they would have quickly left all of the xiuzhe unable to even stand up.
Lil’ Pagoda was drooping. That [Moon Chime Sound Storm] had used all of its power. Zuo Mo carried it in his hand with heartache. He had to throw a few talismans to it before it recovered some energy.
“Good son, Daddy knows you are the best.”
Lil’ Pagoda was very happy at receiving praise and twirled in Zuo Mo’s palm. Silly Bird looked disdainfully at Zuo Mo. That disdain seemed to say, fooling little child … …
Zuo Mo faltered slightly. However, he decided to disregard this unlikable person. He couldn’t help but mutter inside, Silly Bird’s expressions were becoming increasingly varied. It seemed she had gained many benefits this time.
Scanning Silly Bird, Zuo Mo increasingly felt this one was fat and rich. He wondered if he could squeeze some oil out.
Seeming to detecting the danger coming from Zuo Mo, Silly Bird hurriedly increased her distance from Zuo Mo. Lil’ Fire, on the opposite hand, found it fun and chirped. Like a bubble, it slowly flew over to join the fun.
“Boss, outside the city … …” Bao Yi put out his head and twisted his lips at the outside.
“Outside the city?” Zuo Mo’s expression was puzzled, and then he realized. He rubbed his chin and said, “Get the Guard Camp to go!”
———
Shu Long’s expression was stern as he methodically listened to the xiuzhe that came to pass on orders.
In reality, his attention was completely focused on the bellows coming from inside the necklace.
“First mission, all of you, pay attention! Whoever makes a mistake, whoever makes me lose face, hee hee, just wait! Hm, as the first batch of subordinates of this seat for nearly a thousand years, if you humiliate my name as a Sky Yao, I will kill all of you … …”
“Once out of the city, instantly assemble in the formation. Take out everything you have trained usually … …”
Seeing the xiuzhe who had delivered the orders leave, Shu Long swallowed and said, “But Daren, Boss’ orders is only for us to take the spoils … …”
“My ass! Using the troop of a honored Sky Yao to do something like pick up trash? I cannot bear the embarrassment! Listen well, this mission is your monthly test. If you make a mistake, there will be good days for you next month.”
His heart shook, and coldness shot up from the bottom of his feet. The monthly test was the most terrible days in a month. Every time it occurred, wails rang into the landscape.
This daren was not some generous one. It would be more accurate to describe him as one that would always get even. If they provoked him this time, everyone could not live in the future.
Also, in the deepest part of his heart, he wanted Boss to see their results!
Even though they did not have to worry about food, shelter, there was no hard labour, and they only cultivated everyday, but whenever danger approached the Boss would never think of the existence of Guard Camp. All of Guard Camp were holding a breath. They knew their foundations were terrible, and their strength weak. They could not do anything major. Consequently, everyone cultivated using their life. Injuries due to cultivation were the most frequent event in Guard Camp.
This breath was like an invisible whip furiously striking them.
Had their day finally come?
Under Shu Long’s weathered face, his heart started to ripple. He adjusted the ling armor on his body and suppressed his excitement. He tried to make his steps as steady as usual and walked out of the tent.
Outside the tent, everyone in Guard Camp had finished gathering.
Everyone had excited expressions. It was possible to see that they were trying their best to suppress their excitement.
Looking at the organized troop with new uniforms, Shu Long suddenly blanked. The scenes of the past flowed like water passed his eyes. Panicked and in a sorry state as they huddled together, their clothing unable to cover their bodies, their hopeless and dead eyes … …
He took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the talisman on his hand. All of the scenes in his mind instantly shattered. Looking at the gazes full of life, his gaze became determined as he ordered.
“Depart!”
Translator Ramblings: Highest body count for Zuo Mo as commander so far. I actually wonder how high Gongsun Cha’s accumulated body count is.
