Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Three – Fragments

Shu Long made multiple inspections to be certain there were no mistakes before he stopped.

Nan Yue, Cang Ze, and the others were slightly nervous. They were having such a big battle for their first engagement, it would be lying to say they were not nervous. However, Pu Yao’s high-intensity training showed its effects. They were nervous but they still managed to maintain their calm.

The mission that Shu Long gave them was very simple. They were to follow up on the hardship guards attack.

On the top of the mountain, there were copper pillars inserted into the ground that were covered in rough and thick engravings, these were totem pillars. Shu Long had made according to Wei’s teachings.

The Hardship Guard that had been under Wei’s tutelage had completely changed their battle style compared to when they were under Pu Yao.

All of the masters that Wei had been with had all been top level geniuses. This allowed him to have a vast knowledge regarding mo battalions. In his hands, Guard Camp’s battle methods had quietly changed. He also added on many ancient tribal combat methods and made the camp even stronger.

Using the totem pillars was one of the methods.

If it wasn’t that Zuo Mo had gathered large numbers of totem fragments, they could not have made the totem pillars.

Guard Camp had a natural weakness, speed. In this era where speed was one of the ultimate factors, the clumsy Gurad Camp was innately disadvantaged. Wei did not use any methods to increase Guard Camp’s speed, but used other methods to make them an unique heavy-armor battalion!

Ye Ling’s heart gradually calmed because he found the entire battalion was well-organized. Even though there was only a hundred people, there wasn’t any nervousness in their expressions. They were like precise instruments, their setup was crisp and efficient.

Such a powerful battalion!

Ye Ling who had seen many battalions before was filled with shock. The hardship guards had ease and calmness on their faces. There was no nervousness, no excitement. They seemed to move as though they were just training!

Shu Long Daren did not give any motivational speech. He only sent down orders like usual as if it was just another day.

This mountain peak was the tallest in the surrounding area. The peak reached into the clouds. The peak itself was a plateau about seventy or so mu.

One hundred and twenty totem pillars were securely embedded into the granite plateau so only half of the pillar was exposed. The hardship guards stood between the totem pillars and a certain kind of combat formation could be made out.

The bandits that had been following them did not understand what was happening so they did not attack immediately. The news about Mountain Dragon Corps had spread through all of Eminent Mountain Jie.

When the large formation was set up, Shu Long’s eyes silently burned with heated fighting spirit.

Come!

———

Zuo Mo’s head rang as though something inside had exploded. His mind went blank.

At this time, the young female under his finger made a sound.

Ceng Yi’s expression became overjoyed as he unconsciously called, “Lian’er!”

The youth and the other two’s expression sank. If they missed this chance, it would not be easy to persuade Ceng Yi. The three of them were at the general level, but they were still wary of Ceng Yi’s White Fang mo physique.

The three exchanged a look, coldness flashing through their eyes as they moved at the same time.

The youth headed straight for Zuo Mo and the young female to try to take the young female as a hostage, while the thin and the fat men leapt at Ceng Yi.

The moment the three moved, Ceng Yi understood their intentions. He shouted furiously, “Die!”

The almond-yellow snake pupils turned grey-white as he charged fearlessly at the two people. His right hand was slightly raised and now shone with a grey-white light!

A small howl seemed to come from hell.

The fat one and the thin one changed expressions. The fat one shouted, and a brown-red mo matrix appeared. Layers of invisible ripples spread out. The thin one’s fingers were like claws and flashed with a metallic sheen. His dark green mo matrix crept around his arms like countless branches of ivy.

Hiss!

Ceng Yi’s raised right hand came into contact with the invisible ripples. Without any pause, it pierced through like a knife into water!

One layer after another!

The dozens of layers didn’t manage to slow down Ceng Yi’s grey-white hand at all!

The fat one’s expression changed drastically. Ceng Yi’s strength far surpassed his expectations. At such a dangerous moment, the thin man’s fingers howled like ten sharp knifes as it moved to block!

There wasn’t any emotion in Ceng Yi’s grey-white pupils. They seemed to be lifeless as his right hand continued to push forward without any thought of dodging the thin man’s attack.

A vicious look appeared on the thin one’s face. His mo skill was ramped up to its limits. The dark green mo matrix suddenly brightened, and the green light drew out a blinding streak in the air!

The two sides crashed together without any finesse- a contest of strength!

Boom!

The blinding green light instantly illuminated the yard. The burning light was piercing to the eyes!

Pah!

A minuscule sound of something breaking occurred in the middle of this blinding ball of light.

The light disappeared without warning. Pain appeared on the face of the thin one. Three of the fingers on his right hand had been broken!

The fat one had a terrified expression but he reacted quickly and shouted loudly, “Stop!”

“Jie Master Ceng, your honored daughter!” the fat one said with his fastest speed in his life.

Ceng Yi’s grey-white pupils suddenly moved.

———

The youth didn’t even look at Zuo Mo once. There was only the young female in his eyes! The great sound of the explosion behind his back and the grunt from the fat one caused his nerves to tense.

He knew that his conduct was akin to breaking the peace. With Ceng Yi’s temper, if he did not get even, he would not rest!

Ceng Yi was not famed, but the youth would not underestimate him. If Marshal Yu was not occupied and unable to come, it definitely would not be him that had come. Out of caution, he had taken along two general mo, but he had not thought that these two had crumbled so easily when facing Ceng Yi. In one attack, one was forced to retreat and the other was wounded!

The White Fang mo physique lived up to the rumors!

He had the bloodline of dragons, but he had just stepped into general level and definitely was not Ceng Yi’s opponent.

The only chance right now was to capture Ceng Yi’s daughter!
