Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy Two – The Balance Tilts (2/2)

—Flee! Flee as fast as possible!

What family laws, what disciple-hood, that was all thrown away at this time.

It was unknown who it started with but at this time, the ranks collapsed like an avalanche! All of the people shouted and then turned and fled for their lives!

The fleeing crowd and the Tian Ye battalion that had rushed over at full power now collided together!

Tian Ye’s face suddenly changed!

The combat xiu at the front of the battalion shifted. Those clansmen that were completely in a frenzy charged into their battalion. In the eyes of these Tian Family disciples that had lost their last threads of bravery, if they neared the Tian Family Battalion, they would be able to survive.

The defeated soldiers flooded at Tian Ye Battalion like a tide.

“Do not collide … …” Tian Ye shouted urgently. His pupils suddenly expanded and his voice stopped abruptly.

Sword light!

All over the horizon!

An angry wave composed from numerous sword lights were tightly following behind this group of fleeing soldiers and were aimed at him!

Tian Ye glared angrily but his brain was still clear as ever. He knew if he hesitated in this moment, the entire troop would be lost. He shouted furiously, “Kill!”

Tian Ye Battalion had gone to Blood Sky Metropolis Jie had had more battle experience than normal battalions. These combat xiu might not bear to do it but they understood if their battle formation became disorganized, then they would all die!

Their eyes were red as they shouted at the top of their lungs, “Kill!”

Those Tian Family disciples never had expected that Tian Ye Battalion would move against them. Unguarded, blood sprayed out and seventy or so Tian Family disciples died instantly!

Tian Ye’s move was cruel but it was effective and showed his decisiveness as an exceptional Silver Battle General.

But he did not know that underneath their position, there was another troop waiting for them!

———

The bright and beautiful sword lights attracted everyone’s gaze. The appearance of Shu Long’s group was silent and did not attract any attention.

The three hundred hardship guards that had just received mo weapons were so silent they were like statues.

Shu Long coldly looked at the sky, his handsome face calm. Shu Long could not be said to be a battle general but he had received Pu Yao’s teachings and his eyes were not lacking. Pu Yao had once thought of nurturing Shu Long into a battle general, but the path of yao battle generals and mo battle generals were completely different paths.

Only a freak like Zuo Mo could naturally feel the power of others.

However, Shu Long did not lack the knowledge and judgment that a battle general should have. He could see that Ma Fan’s group had the advantage. Guard Camp and Vermillion Bird Camp were in a competitive relationship, but that was a deliberate manipulation by Shu Long and Ma Fan. Shu Long had a deep understanding of the combat capabilities of Vermillion Bird Camp. He knew very well when Vermillion Bird Camp held the advantage in battle, then it wasn’t far from the end of battle.

So he did not move, and stealthily hid, waiting to give those defeated soldiers a fatal blow.

But when he saw Tian Ye Battalion coming to aid, he changed his mind. In Boss’ words, that was a fatter sheep!

Born a sword xiu, Shu Long had endurance other people could not rival. He silently waited for a chance.

Until this moment!

“Kill!”

Shu Long bellowed as the black halberd in his hand stabbed into the sky!

The black mist that surrounded the black halberd formed a three zhang long halberd shadow that howled into the sky!

“Kill!”

Three hundred hardship guards shouted together and attacked with the mo weapons in their hands!

Three hundred black misty shadows of various shapes were three hundred shrieking crows that shot at Tian Ye Battalion in the sky!

The black mist released by the hardship guards merged into one patch that moved relentlessly. It was the Crow Fiend Mo Kill Formation!

Shu Long’s black halberd shadow was like an enormous nail that pierced into the ranks of Tian Ye Battalion. Pia, a moderate explosion, the halberd exploded and turned to a thick ball of black mist that covered dozens of combat xiu.

The three hundred black shadows that came after exploded at the same time and became thick black mist that covered half of the Tian Ye Battalion combat xiu!

———

Tian Ye Battalion was preparing for the incoming sword energy attacks. This sudden change caused confusion to spread through the ranks, resulting in chaos.

Tian Ye was both shocked and angry. He was shrouded in the black mist and couldn’t even see his fingers.

So vicious! At this point in battle to use this kind of spell to obscure their vision, they were really vicious!

Shock and angry, he yelled, “All on defense! Prepare to face sword energies!”

Just at this time, the black mist that seemed harmless and only served obscured people’s vision suddenly bared its fangs!

Translator Ramblings: Even way back when Zuo Mo finished his fight against the Clear Sky Old Forefather, he noted that he could have technically taken him down with the Vermillion Bird Camp at that time. This is really a numbers game with tactics at this specific point and level of power between ningmai and jindan. But don’t expect this to always be true.
