Chapter 1061 - Steel Cavalry (2/2)
The 70 acupuncture points in his body were like 70 black holes, incessantly absorbing the Disha Qis from the earth. His Jade Water Kirin also had eight spots in its body that kept on palpitating like huge hearts. With each palpitation, waves of Disha Qis would gush up from the depths of the earth and enter its body.
Both human and beast had clearly attained the Disha Realm, and with their essential Qis connected into one, they had an unprecedented total of 78 acupuncture points cleared.
Li Anguo swung the mystic iron longspear in his hands that weighed several thousand jins and threw a disdainful gaze at the 100,000-man army from the imperial court in the distance.
Not long after the Steel Cavalry arrived, several ten thousand forces proceeded slowly from the west side of the plains as well. They were donned in armor, wielded weapons, and had on solemn expressions. Their faces presented a feeling of sacredness.
From the east, streams of essential Qis soared into the sky as 200 Disha Realm cultivators appeared.
Ning Baichuan, who was on the city wall, was pleasantly surprised. “It’s not just the Steel Cavalry, even the Yellow Sect 1 ‘s Apologist Army is here. There are also the experts from the Twelve Alliance…”
The Yellow Sect was the top religious sect in the Western Region. Their sect master, Huang Tianhu, had attained the Tiangang Realm and had several millions of followers scattered across several regions in Middle-earth. After the Great Jin Dynasty lost control over its territories, the Yellow Sect took the chance to rise up, taking over many territories in Western Region and becoming one of the feudal vassals.
The several ten thousand forces that came from the west were from the Yellow Sect. Not only were they all Xiantian Realm experts, but they also held a fervent belief in the sect’s creed. Once they started to battle, they could be said to have an endless fighting spirit and were even unafraid of death.
The 200 Disha Realm cultivators that came from the other side were from the Twelve Alliance—a huge influence that was formed from the alliance of 12 black triads. Their leader, Ye Kuang, was the number one blade user in the southwest. This influence was the weakest amongst all who came, but as they were an influence from the pugilistic world, it was said that they had 500 or more Disha Realm cultivators, having taken over 12 cities, and were one of the feudal vassals as well.
The arrival of the Steel Cavalry seemed like a signal as groups of armies and experts appeared on the plains outside Lihe City. Within a short period of time, eight armies arrived, with a total of close to 200,000 soldiers. There were other elites, who were like the Steel Cavalry, and smaller groups formed by experts like the Twelve Alliance.
Other than some feudal vassals who were situated too far away, the remaining feudal vassals had all sent out their elite forces. Clearly, other than the pressure from the imperial court, the members of the Three Mountains Four Peaks were also pushing things from behind the scenes.
Hints of spatial cracks shattered in the sky, and Xiao Shen put out his head and looked at the battlefield on the ground.
‘If Fang Xuan or Marie were the ones to make a move, there wouldn’t be a need for 100,000 men.’
Recalling the two heaven-blessed cultivators that Marie had killed previously, Xiao Shen thought to himself, ‘Are they thinking of luring us out?
‘If that’s the case, then all the more we shouldn’t appear. We’ll let these feudal vassals test out Fang Xuan’s intentions first,’ he thought as his gaze scanned the imperial court’s army. ‘If the imperial court is just relying on their army, then they definitely will not be a match for the feudal vassals’ alliance. Moreover, with the feudal vassals holding them back, I might have a chance to launch a sneak attack at Marie. At the very least, I’ll be able to slow down the progression of the imperial court’s army and fight for more time for the others.’
Fang Xuan was now the greatest enemy for the Three Mountains Four Peaks, and his strongest subordinate, Marie, was also a great threat in the hearts of Xiao Shen and the others.
Therefore, they are putting all of their hopes onto the heaven-blessed cultivators.
However, Xiao Shen had no idea why when Marie’s unrivaled beauty appeared in his mind. Thinking of how she was Fang Xuan’s subordinate and that the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ scouts kept on sending news that she was able to enter and leave the palace freely, he felt a grasping feeling in his heart.
The scene of Marie being pressed under Fang Xuan and receiving his grace in ecstasy suddenly appeared in his mind.
A female general with an unrivaled beauty who often entered and left the palace… Xiao Shen could not help but think of these. Hints of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
‘Fang Xuan…’
