Chapter Five Hundred and Sixteen – To Cross Swords (2/2)

Even though the two were enemies, Gongsun Cha could not help himself from sighing in praise.

The other was forcing him into a final battle.

If the other reached Turtle Island, even if he could win, the number of fatalities would reach a terrifying number. Turtle Island’s defenses were very strong but Turtle Island itself could not hold that many xiuzhe. Xu Ling City had not finished rebuilding, and the defenses were next to nothing.

If this was any other time, Gongsun Cha would not hesitate to use these people to trade for a victory.

But given the situation right now … …

A ruined Cloud Sea Jie was not of any benefit for them. Even Gongsun Cha, who was only interested in being a battle general, could understand a concept as shallow as this.

Actually, when Zuo Mo had said the words at the time, Lil’ Miss had been very surprised. But if there had to be one person that he would support unconditionally, there was only Zuo Mo.

As to whether Shixiong’s decision was correct, the obstacles they faced, and what consequences there were, it was not within the realm of his consideration.

The only thing he would use his mind for, to scheme for, was victory!

“You want a final battle?” Lil’ Miss’ eyes flashed with an insane light. The shadow formed by the bangs at the front of his face seemed to cover his entire face.

“Then come!”

His mouth unconsciously curved in a smile that was as bashful as usual.

———

“Can we win?” Bu Si Dong’s sweat was running in rivers down his face. The exhaustion caused his voice to gasp.

They had just experienced an abnormally difficult session of training. Almost all the strength in their bodies had been squeezed out.

This really was demonic cultivation!

Before this, no one had ever heard of training like this. They didn’t even dare think of this. Even with the great benefits, they were full of groans and complaints. Some people had even planned on running away. But ever since those few that ran away were captured and thrown into the sword formation, the wails that occurred daily caused all of Black Martial Camp to feel their scalps prickle.

Ma Fan had found experts from Golden Crow Camp to set up fifty sword formations that were placed right beside the campsite.

Everyday when they trained, they could clearly hear the inhuman screams coming out of the sword formation.

Everyone settled down.

Bu Si Dong never thought of running away. He didn’t have any talent but he could endure hardship. In reality, the potential of a person was greater than they themselves realized. These people were starting to adjust to this terrifying level of training.

The departure of Vermillion Bird Camp and Guard Camp could be concealed from other people but not from Black Turtle Camp that was adjacent to Vermillion Bird Camp. Everyone knew the counter-attack had started.

When they had the time, they would discuss the situation.

“They probably can.” The one who spoke was called Luo Wei. He was a sword xiu and had a natural advantage in the camp. He was also the primary attacker of their small team.

However, Luo Wei’s tone did not hold much confidence.

“I want us to be able to participate. Didn’t we come just to fight against the mo army? Just hiding here and training everyday, it is so irritating!” Da Ban couldn’t help but mutter from the side. He had a pair of conspicuous front teeth. He was unusually proud of them and wouldn’t think of using ling power to modify them. Consequently, everyone called him Da Ban.

Luo Wei said without raising his head, “If Vermillion Bird Camp and Guard Camp cannot win, then we aren’t even enough for a mouthful. Before, I felt I was strong, now I know how laughable that idea was.”

Everyone became silent.

Luo Wei was right. At the beginning, there were many rebellious people but after training for a few days, they finally understood how great the difference was between themselves and Vermillion Bird Camp.

“Who do you think is stronger, Guard Camp or Vermillion Bird Camp?” Bu Si Dong saw everyone was silent and hurriedly said.

“Does it need to be said, of course it is Vermillion Bird Camp!” Da Ban said without thinking.

Everyone’s interests were stirred by this topic and spoke up.

“I also feel it is Vermillion Bird Camp.”

“Vermillion Bird Camp! Ma Fan Daren is too strong!”

“Those animal from Vermillion Bird Camp are not human!”

All of them supported Vermillion Bird Camp. Compared to Guard Camp that had never showed its face, they had a direct experience with the strength of Vermillion Bird Camp. Some of them even felt that there wasn’t a stronger battalion than Vermillion Bird Camp in the world.

Bu Si Dong noticed that Luo Wei did not speak. He couldn’t help but ask, “Luo Wei, what do you feel?”

“I don’t know,” Luo Wei stopped what he was doing, “but I feel that since Guard Camp can rank together with Vermillion Bird Camp, it must have its strengths.”

When he spoke, he suddenly recalled when he had seen a person from Guard Camp the other day.

The other person just glanced at him, and he felt all the blood in his body freeze!

This incident had given him a deep impression.

He was preparing to tell everyone about the incident when Ma Fan Daren’s serene voice came like a ghost out of the ground.

“You’ve rested long enough, prepare for the next part of training.”

Everyone instantly jumped up as though something had bitten their behinds and sprinted towards the field.

Ma Fan’s figure slowly floated out of the air as he looked into the distance.

This really was so troublesome … ..

And he was missing such a spectacular battle … …
