435 Why be Afraid? (1/2)
The voice was low and clean, but as the surroundings were silent, it spread out over ten miles of land.
Ji Lingzi's brows rose up. He had never heard of this name before. Then, his heart sunk slightly as he knew that this name would spread all across the cloud world in a few days.
He remembered that the common people path 20 years ago, one Fangwen and one Shui Lingbo pretty much took up all the attention of the era.
20 years later, yet another Tanqiu appeared…
Just as he was speechless, suddenly a person ran out of the cavalry forces and said coldly, ”The first seat has said that he will let you guys take good care of the ten over people from the common people path. Remember to feed them well and let them drink well. A month later, we will exchange people with you.”
After finishing, he laughed out loud and chased up to those 400 common people mysterious dragon warriors.
Ji Lingzi was so depressed that he wanted to spit out blood. He could only look on as this cavalry army left leisurely.
If these common people path dao soldiers were used to charge at their formation, it might be lacking a little in numbers. But if they attacked and retreated, attacked and retreated, there was nothing they could do on their side.
Not only did the number of grade 7 experts on both sides equalize, but their elite cavalry were also at a disadvantage.
Moreover, with Longling and Muling in their hands, there was nothing they could do about it.
A moment later, the last person of the common people mysterious dragon warrior disappeared from their field of sight.
That Yuan Jiuchen also walked out of the formation, standing right beside Ji Lingzi. His expression turned green, uglily looking at the direction in which the common people path people left in.
”This common people path is really lucky. To have such a monstrous person after Shui Lingbo. Forget about the other stuff. Brother Ji Lingzi, how should we handle it today?”
Ji Lingzi took in a deep breath, suppressing the emotions in his heart.
An unparalleled famous general wasn't scary, but to grasp the extreme of the sword sense and being someone who was able to become the shield for the entire common people path—that was what was terrifying.
”This person is indeed a problem. Only the matter today hasn't ended. Today, junior brother Tailing and also the blood debt from hundreds of fellow disciples dying, we have to take revenge…”
Yuan Jiuchen's eyes lit up, recovering some focus and excitement. What he feared was that Tailing Sect would give up halfway. Which would mean abandoning him? Although he was now still the general in charge of Yan City Pass, without any similar power protecting him, the common people path just needed one fingertip to crush him.
...Just now, he was really afraid. For the first time, he was feeling regretful.
To get in the good books of Tailing Sect, for those insubstantial riches and fame to offend such a giant being like the common people path, was it worth it?
He also knew that at this moment this Ji Lingzi was like a gambler who had lost everything, eager to win it back. However standing at his point of view, Yuan Jiuchen had to remind him.
”Brother! We should naturally take revenge for junior brother Tailing. But this kid's sword path is one with the spirit and is tough to deal with. With just 400 common people mysterious dragon warriors in his hands he would be invincible on the battlefield. Today we have suffered heavy losses, our strength greatly decreasing. I am afraid we aren't his opponent. Why not we first return to Tailing Mountain and plan for the long run…”
Ji Lingzi was startled, glancing towards that Yuan Jiuchen. Only then did he realize that this person started to fear that Tanqiu.
However, at this moment he didn't bother to mock him. Just now when they were facing off even he didn't have confidence against such an enemy.
With the aura that the 400 common people mysterious dragon warriors showed off just now, it was normal for them to be fearful.
”Don't worry! I will ask for instructions from the seniors, to gather men from Tailing Mountain and try to make up the number of purple cloud sword cavalry to a thousand.”
As he said that, Ji Lingzi frowned as he thought about Tanqiu's sword technique from just now.
This person's strength was at most grade 6 but that sword path was far above his. Alone, he wasn't frightening, but when he borrowed the strength of those hundreds of mysterious dragon warriors, his strength could raise to the peak of grade 7.
His eyes constricted a little. Following which Ji Lingzi said determinedly, ”Apart from this I will try to let the sect send 2 sets of Xuan iron wenshan armor…”
That Yuan Jiuchen shook. He knew that this xuan iron wenshan armor was a grade 8 spirit weapon. Not only was it tough for weapons to pierce through, but it could also raise the true qi cultivation of the person wearing it. It was the sect supporting treasure of the Tailing Sect and legend had it that there were no more than 40 of them.
Ji Lingzi scoffed coldly.
”We were too careless today, falling for their tricks. Next time, it won't be this easy. When we exchange hostages a month later will be the day where we decide the outcome of the battle between us!”
After he finished he frowned and said, ”Also on the side of the Han King, we need to ask for reinforcements. This prince has a dingxi iron cavalry that I will try to borrow.”
Yuan Jiuchen sternly replied he had such a plan too.

”An unparalleled formation charging talent…”
In the void, it was still Fangwen and Hanfang who exchanged glances with one another, standing opposite one another.
