Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy Two – Glittering

The dark night was illuminated by the lights of the spells and shen techniques. They collided in the air like fireworks, giving off great explosions that made people’s ears hurt. Waves of air twisted the night, and everything in view seemed to be twisted.

Inside the jinzhi, everyone had an excited expression. Their faces were twisted, tendons bulging as they focused.

“Pay attention! Pay attention! First Group, pay attention to cutting off the enemy’s left flank!”

“Second Group, control your shen power, do not fight too strongly, pay attention to shifts!”

“Fourth and Fifth Jinzhi Group, did you eat? Why are your attacks so weak? Attack at full power! I won’t forgive you if you let even one escape … …”

Ma Fan calmly observed the battlefield. His orders flowed into every corner of the jinzhi defense line.

Among Mo Cloud Sea’s battle generals, there were several that were skilled in defense such as Shu Long’s Guard Camp and Tang Fei’s Tangzi Battalion. Yet Ma Fan was a strangest one among them.

He was the battle general most skilled in jinzhi battle defense.

Because he had successfully stopped Xu Kong Temple’s battalions in the past which unearthed Ma Fan’s talent in defense, he had then been sent to Orchid Home Jie where he defended against Tian Huan’s Gongye Xiao Rong by relying on the jinzhi forts. He had developed a great interest in how to use the seal formations and jinzhi.

Formations and jinzhi were one of Mo Cloud Sea’s developmental focuses. Zuo Mo’s turtle style had influenced them deeply. The interested Ma Fan spent a great amount of time in Golden Crow Cloud Island to study jinzhi and formations.

Any formation defense line in his hands would have astounding power.

He was familiar with the weakness and strengths of every kind of seal formation and could use them. Also, his experiences as part of the offensive core gave him a good understanding on the large-scale strategy of how to use seals and jinzhi.

His second-in-command, Nian Lu, was skilled in calculation and aided him greatly. Lei Peng was the head of the ax hidden in the turtle shell.

The battlefield was silently changing.

This kind of change was subtle and almost no one detected it among the chaotic battlefield. But Ma Fan detected it.

The two enemy battalions were not in sync and an opening in their formation had begun to appear.

Ma Fan’s eyes suddenly lit up. His voice unconsciously increased, and his orders became brisk.

“First Crux, attack at full power!”

“Third Group, delay your enemies.”

“Seventh Group, weaken your attacks, draw them in.”

“Third Group, Sixth Group, pay attention, prepare to kill!”

The members under his command were familiar with his change. Everyone knew that when Daren’s orders became short, it meant that the crucial moment in the battle had come.

Everyone felt their minds become alert, and the formation defense line immediately changed. However, it was also difficult to detect this change among the storm of spells.

Waiting for his orders, Lei Peng was completely armored. The Mo Cloud shen equipment covering all of his large and brawny body. He had a golden crystal sword in his hand. He appeared like a giant stepping out of a legend as he gave off a bloodthirsty and savage presence. Beside him, two hundred elites were also fully armored and stood silently.

He was prepared to fight!

“They’ve been drawn in!”

“Big Peng, kill!”

Lei Peng’s eyes suddenly grew bight, his presence increasing. He lifted the heavy gold crystal sword as though it was nothing and changed towards the formation defense line like a furious rhino.

“Kill!”

The two hundred elite moved at the same time and howled together, “Kill!”

The troops were like a sharp and heavy axe that was swung in an overhead blow at the prey that was caught in a net.

The battalion that had been allowed in had never expected enemies to come charging out of the enemy defense line. Caught off guard, blood and flesh flew. Lei Peng was like an ancient monster, unstoppable as he charged every which way.

The shen equipment he wore had been designed and forged according to his strengths. It only had one use, to increase Lei Peng’s power fivefold!

Lei Peng was naturally endowed with astounding strength, and it became even greater after mo matrices were engraved. Zuo Mo had switched out the spell he cultivated into a mo skill a long time ago. After he used a mo embryo, he managed to cultivate a power-type mo physique that increased his strength by multiple times again. Zuo Mo was determined for him to become a power-type. The Lei Peng of the past had a terrifying amount of strength but after he cultivated the Mo Cloud Shen Methodology, Lei Peng’s strength went up another level.

Lei Peng’s shen power was the simplest, most direct, crudest, roughest, and purest of power!

He had a door-sized golden crystal sword in his hand. When he started to swing it, no one was able to stop his attack. He did not like using stabs. In his hand, the golden crystal sword was like a thick horse-chopping sabre. What he liked to do most was chop.

Usually, when his blow fell, the enemy, rider and steed, would be split in two.

When he was really in his state, he would even use the sword like a metal staff, slapping and whipping. Anyone that was touched would fly out as though they were hit by a rhino, a large part of their body strangely caved in, as they bled for all orifices.

Clang!

Lei Peng’s hand shook. For the first time since the battle started, someone stopped his sword!

His eyes bled red. He saw the person that stopped him, it was one of the mo marshals.

This time was when Lei Peng’s fighting spirit was at its height. Even if the other was a mo marshal, he did not feel fear. With an angry howl, he swung the golden crystal sword up, and swung at the other, throwing himself behind the sword!

“Good attack!”

The mo marshal snorted. The spear in his hand suddenly turned bright silver, an extremely blinding point of light suddenly appearing in front of Lei Peng’s eyes.

This dot of silver energy came quickly like lightning.
