Chapter 294 - Ye Chen Strikes (2/2)
When they stood up and gazed into the distance, the Golden Sun Condor had swooped down and engaged in a violent battle. Countless spears stabbed at the Golden Sun Condor’s body, making a shrill metal tinkling noise, yet none of them had succeeded in inflicting any damage on its body. With a single flap of Golden Sun Condor’s wings, a dozen horsemen were sent flying.
As for Ye Chen, his performance was even more mesmerizing. In Ye Chen’s hand, numerous Celestial Chi Flying Daggers flickered into existence.
With a whiz, a beam of light zoomed across the air. “Swish swish swish”, fresh blood spurted into the air. Wherever the Celestial Chi Flying Dagger flew, the cavalry was slain, one horseman after another. Instantly, an entire row fell dead onto the ground. Hundreds were killed with just one Celestial Chi Flying Dagger. Then, it disappeared into thin air.
One after another, Celestial Chi Flying Daggers flew out. The Nanman Kingdom cavalry horsemen and their horses fell, row by row, screaming in misery.
At this moment, Ye Chen was like an angel of death. As he walked, every obstacle was struck down by his Celestial Chi. In addition to the Flying Daggers in his hands, two other Flying Daggers were hovering in the air beside him. These two Flying Daggers seemed to be sentient. If any of the horsemen dared to encroach within five meters radius of Ye Chen’s vicinity, they would be killed by these two Flying Daggers.
“Whiz whiz whiz.” The Flying Daggers were like a pair of harvesting scythe, reaping the lives of the Nanman Kingdom horsemen.
When Ye Chen first appeared, most of the Nanman Kingdom cavalry looked down upon him. How dare this young man try to go against the Nanman Kingdom cavalry? Even though he was protected by a Heavenly Adept mystical beast, he was sure to die! Nevertheless, they did not expect that Ye Chen was so terrifying. The Flying Daggers were especially terrifying. Wherever the Flying Daggers flew, men and horses fell.
On a cliff in a distance, Wei Guyan looked down and saw the impenetrable Golden Sun Condor as well as the angel of death-like Ye Chen. Wei Guyan was shaken to the core. He had never seen a Flying Dagger that could pierce through a hundred horsemen.
Who was that person?
“Kill him. Even if he’s a Heavenly Venerable One, we have two hundred thousand horsemen. We’ll drag him to his death. Plus, if we manage to kill a Heavenly Venerable One, I’ll certainly be rewarded by the Grandruler!” Wei Guyan commanded. In the distance, the commanding flag waved and the remaining horsemen formed an ironclad fortress around Ye Chen, launching waves after waves of attacks.
Wei Guyan also made other preparations. The cavalry’s archers assumed their positions. If Ye Chen tried to fly away, the archers would shoot him down. Moreover, Wei Guyan also had three Earthly Venerable Rank combatants and twelve Tenth Level combatants under his command. If Ye Chen tried to escape, they could help to stop him.
In the war history of the Nanman Kingdom, killing an opposing Heavenly Venerable One was not unheard of. Back when they first conquered Beijie Kingdom, a Heavenly Venerable One in Beijie Kingdom was killed by the Nanman Kingdom cavalry.
Although Ye Chen had the protection of a Golden Sun Condor, the mystical beast was merely at Heavenly Adept Level. Under the cavalry’s siege, it would not survive.
“Even if you’re a Heavenly Venerable One, so what? Anyone who dares to go against our Nanman Kingdom cavalry will die!”
Wei Guyan did not expect that Ye Chen was not an ordinary Heavenly Venerable One, but a far greater existence than that. If not for Ye Chen’s worry about exposing the abilities of the gold-armored soldier, he would have simply created the gold-armored soldier to wipe out the entire cavalry.
“Even without creating the gold-armored soldier, I’m more than enough to deal with you!” Ye Chen snorted. Crimson Clouds Searing Skies shot out of his hands, sending hot flames into the air. At once, several dozen horsemen were knocked down.
Ye Chen displayed one martial art technique after another. Coupled with the two Flying Daggers beside him, fresh blood was spilled wherever he went. Images of the Nanman Kingdom cavalry horsemen and horses falling to the ground flashed before his eyes. Ye Chen had no mercy for these Nanman Kingdom people. How many innocent lives had they robbed from the Xiwu Empire?
Even their deaths could not redeem their sins!
As Ye Chen strode ahead, dead bodies scattered on the ground behind him. Surrounding Ye Chen were the dead bodies of thousands of the Nanman Kingdom horsemen.
If an ordinary Heavenly Venerable One were to endure such a vicious battle, their Celestial Chi would have dwindled and resulted in diminished abilities. However, Ye Chen was different. Although the Celestial Chi inside his body was indeed being consumed rapidly during the battle, the Flying Dagger in his mind was continuously replenishing his dantian.
The Nanman Kingdom cavalry was getting more frightened. This young man was too terrifying! However, a military command was as unshakable as a mountain, so they could not retreat. Furthermore, if they were to retreat amid a formation attack, they would be trampled to death by panicked horses.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
The cavalry’s voices boomed like thunder.
In a distance, scores of archers were in position.
“Loaded!”
“Loaded!”
“Fire!”
There was a rapid buzzing sound. Like a swarm of locusts, the sky was filled with arrows aiming directly at Ye Chen.
This was the Nanman Kingdom army’s secret killing weapon, the Arrows of God!
The tips of the arrows used by these archers were made from dark argentite gold and coated with corrosive venom. They could fly up to thirty meters in the air before falling to the ground. The tips of these arrows also had a unique structure. When they fall, their speed would accelerate in a circular motion. Hence, they were very deadly. Even if the opponent was covered in heavy armor, the arrows could pierce through any armor. In the past, none of the Heavenly Venerable Ones could fend off a barrage of these arrows and would be injured. Only a small nick was required for the corrosive venom to take effect.
Following the buzzing sound of the flying arrows, all the horsemen around Ye Chen retreated backward.
‘Let’s see you survive this!’ the Nanman Kingdom cavalry thought. Under this deadly siege of arrows, even the Chi Construct Barrier of a Heavenly Venerable One could be penetrated!
Ye Chen’s Astral Body had long since been aware of the situation. Looking up, Ye Chen saw a torrent of black arrows heading directly at him.
