Chapter Five Hundred and Nineteen – On The Same Path (2/2)

“Shi Dong?” Zuo Mo stilled and then he reacted. “You mean the other mo army?”

“Yes, Daren,” Ye Ling hurriedly said, “Shi Dong Daren was this subordinate’s previous commander.”

“Oh, tell me about him.” Zuo Mo’s interest was stirred.

“Shi Dong Daren is born from a rare branch of the mantis mo called the Sky Mantis Mo. Shi Dong Daren is the most outstanding battle general this subordinate has ever seen. He is resilient and determent, extremely perceptive in battle. If he was not limited by his birth as a mantis mo, his accomplishments would not be limited to just so!”

“How is he compared to you?” Zuo Mo asked curiously. Ye Ling’s Mist Hand Seat had left him a deep impression.

“This subordinate is inferior,” Ye Ling said seriously, “this subordinate has always served as Shi Dong Daren’s quartermaster.”

“So that’s how it is … …” Zuo Mo instantly had the feeling he was making a great profit and hurriedly nodded, “then you can try!”

Ye Ling was overjoyed. “Yes!”

———

Smoke wafted off Shi Dong’s body. His grand cape was no torn and dirtied, his body covered in wounds of various sizes. He also had a tired expression.

Beside him, there were only half of the organized troops that remained and all of them carried wounds.

Shi Dong had not expected the other to be so powerful! Thinking about these nightmarish days of battle, his heart couldn’t help but shudder.

The enemy battle general was too powerful!

Other than at the beginning when the two were at a standoff, Shi Dong had been forced to watch as the balance of battle slowly tilted towards the enemy.

A slow yet resolute tilt!

He had tried all the solutions he could think of but was still unable to stop the tilt.

The other had suppressed them completely and did not give them any faults to use.

He had never thought he would encounter such a terrifying opponent!

Was this the legendary Xue Dong from Kun Lun? Or Tian Huan’s Gongye Xiao Rong?

Wasn’t this Cloud Sea Jie? Wasn’t this a remote little place that Four Realm Heaven disdained to enter?

How could such a peerless battle general be here?

A golden battle general!

Only a golden battle general could suppress him to the point of hopelessness!

Shi Dong was just a step away from becoming a gold battle general. If it wasn’t for his mantis mo bloodline, maybe he would be a gold battle general already. Since a very early point in his life, he had rarely encountered a match for himself. He never lacked confidence when directing battle.

But this time.

Looking at the small groups of three and five sword xiu that were nearby in the sky, he bit down on his lips with a pale face.

Just at this moment, a gasp of shock came from his vice commander.

He suddenly turned around his face with a sword-sharp gaze.

But when he saw the black insect in the vice commander’s hand, he suddenly froze.

———

“A good opponent,” Lil’ Miss’ voice was full of praise.

No one dismissed his words. The hardiness of this troop far surpassed their expectations. Even though Vermillion Bird Camp had quickly gotten the advantage, the other still withstood their assault.

Even though they could not stop the rising tide, the collapse in moral that people predicted had not occurred.

Even fighting to now with only half of their battalion left, their morale was still shocking steady. If this was a normal battalion, they would have crumbled long ago.

This kind of enemy was worthy of being respected.

Ever since Lil’ Miss created his own core scripture, his consciousness expanded rapidly by the day. His last shortcoming disappeared. Lil’ Miss who had been strong to start with, had become extremely terrifying, unusually and abnormally terrifying!

The advancement in skill caused by his increase in consciousness could be seen in this battle. From the moment the battle begun, the rhythm of battle was in his hands.

From beginning to end, he didn’t give the enemy on chance. Steadily and unrushed, with a method that was almost suffocating, he pressed on the other’s space leaving them no room to maneuver.

However, Lil’ Miss still had a high opinion of Shi Dong.

If he hadn’t had a breakthrough in his consciousness recently, the other would have been significant trouble for him to defeat. If the battle was fought in those conditions, less than one third of Vermillion Bird Camp would remain, and it wouldn’t have been zero fatalities like it was now.

The other reason they had such an advantage was the enemy mo army’s level was one lower than Vermillion Bird Camp. The investments that Zuo Mo made on Vermillion Bird Camp without any consideration for the cost finally showed their effects.

Lil’ Miss was sure that the other had power that was nearing that of a gold battle general.

Of all of Turtle Island, only Gongsun Cha and Zuo Mo had the power to fight against him. Even Shu Long was lacking in comparison.

It was a pity that Shi Dong encountered Gongsun Lil‘ Miss. The terrifying Lil’ Miss that even the renowned Corps Commander Yu Heng had fallen at the feet of!

Such a hardy opponent, Gongsun Cha sighed emotionally and turned to give the order to attack.

“Prepare to attack, let’s finish this battle before sunset.”

Suddenly, Gongsun Cha’s gaze stopped. He saw the enemy battle general leave the battle formation alone. The sword xiu at the front quickly flew back and reported to Gongsun Cha.

“Daren, they are surrendering!”

Translator Ramblings: I won’t go so far to say they are fanatical, but Guard Camp has been pretty well indoctrinated. Poor Gu Ming Gong, he’s surrounded.
