Chapter 173 - Victory! (2/2)
”Long live the mighty Celestial Sword Empire!”
”Long live the mighty Celestial Sword Empire!”
”Long live the mighty Celestial Sword Empire!”
Everyone broke into loud cheers after seeing the savage beasts' were retreating.
”Cellan, check Cale's condition!” Old Zhang shouted urgently while glancing at the huge crater where Cale was thrown into.
After hearing the old man's words, everyone became silent. Their victory was because of one man alone. He defeated the beast king in a fair battle making the savage beasts retreat fear.
Cellan flew towards the crater and saw Cale gasping for breath. ”Are you alright, buddy?”
Shaking his bloodied head, Cale said with a sigh. ”I have consumed a lot of my elemental essence and I can hardly move my body.” Cale gritted his teeth as he tried to get up.
”My lord, don't force yourself.” Aurora arrived with a worried expression on her beautiful face. Her sudden arrival caused Cellan to be taken aback. 'What a peerlessly beautiful woman!'
Aurora supported the weakened Cale with two hands helping him to get up. Cale then took out a bottle of Heavenly Restoration Wine and gulped a few mouthfuls in one go.
”Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!”
Cale felt his body feeling much better after drinking a few mouthfuls of the wine.
He then held Aurora waist to tightly to prevent himself from falling down.
His actions caused the lady to blush in embarrassment, but she did not make a sound of protest. 'He is just injured. Nothing more.' She thought to herself, but she felt strangely excited at his soft touch.
Cale then looked up and saw many people looking at him with faces full of worry. He was, after all, the reason for their victory. They only lost a few soldiers against more than a million savage beasts. Everyone was sure that this feat will be written down in many history books and would then be passed down through generations. Cale's name would be engraved in the young cultivators' hearts and make him their role models.
”Young brother Cale, it's good that you're fine.” Old Zhang smiled benignly while looking at Cale in admiration.
Cale forced out a smile and shook his head wryly. ”If it wasn't for my shield, that beast king would have killed me right there and then.”
Old Zhang nodded his head seriously before glancing at everyone present. ”Everyone, disperse! Clear the battlefield! As for the dead beast carcass, take them to the empire!”
Everyone cheered loudly, even the stern Grand General Ling Tian joined the crowd's cheering.
”Victory! Mighty Celestial Sword Empire!”
”Mighty Celestial Sword Empire!”
”Mighty Celestial Sword Empire!”
