441 All Pumped Up (1/2)
”This is the Black Spirit Mountain canyon pass, what a dangerous place!”
Standing on this mountain path which was covered in mud, Ji Lingzi looked all about. He saw that flood water surged in from all about.
Originally, due to the high elevation of the place, there was rarely anyone who traveled. However, due to the flood, this canyon became the only path that one could travel through.
There were mountains all over which were hard to path. Only this wider canyon path which was beside the Black Spirit Mountain could be passed through.
When all mounts reached grade 4 and above, they all could float in the air. However the moment it was beneath water, with nowhere to support one's strength, the consumption of energy would increase by several times. To be able to travel using the wind for 40-50 miles was already the limit.
For Yuan Jiuchen to say that the common people path would attack here wasn't without reason.
When they entered the canyon, they realized that this place was formed naturally. The bottom was filled with stone, from left to right it was 3 thousand feet wide, enough to allow a thousand cavalry to travel all at once.
However, at this moment Yuan Jiuchen ordered the elite cavalry to temporarily halt. It wasn't until they could see the thousands of people behind did he continue to walk forwards.
Ji Lingzi was silently impressed. If it was other normal generals, having the purple cloud sword cavalry and dingxi iron cavalry, these over 2 thousand grade 6 troops, they would be too excited and charge right into the canyon to search for those common people mysterious dragon warriors to have a head-on battle.
However, Yuan Jiuchen, even with such strength, didn't let it get to his head. Instead, he placed himself in a position where it would be impossible to lose. With just this bit of carefulness, it was enough for the Han King to have high hopes for him.
That Boli and Xiaoze were feeling more and more pitiful. The way they looked towards Yuan Jiuchen was extremely complicated.
Close to 9 thousand cavalry entered the canyon at the same time. Only to see that around this area, a white fog lingered.
At the start, Ji Lingzi didn't mind much. It was only until 40 breaths later did he feel a chill down his spine. Then, he laughed involuntarily.
”Illusionary formation? The wuxiang confusion technique? I heard that although this formation was weak, it was shapeless and formless. No wonder we weren't able to notice it. I thought that Tanqiu would place a killing formation here…”
On the contrary, his heart calmed down. Since there was such a large scale spiritual formation here, those common people path mysterious dragon warriors and Tanqiu would most probably choose to strike in this area.
Since even Yuan Jiuchen could see the strengths of the geography of this area, if Tanqiu wasn't able to make some plans in advance, then he wouldn't be an unparalleled general seed.
What he was worried about were these demons of common people path. He didn't care about the lives of the 3 million people.
As expected, they moved roughly 2 miles forwards and saw the blur view of cavalry which were in the fog, slowly riding over.
Ji Lingzi's brows furrowed, and a blue glow shone within. His vision pierced through the fog which could give one illusion as he looked over to that side.
900 cavalry, all of them were wearing black and red armor, and their hands held large red swords. Their black colored capes were dancing in the wind.
Those silver scale wind stepping beasts were mostly moving in an orderly manner. 3 thousand over hooves landed at the same time and were raised at the same time.
Only within there was still so inharmony. They shouldn't be the true common people mysterious dragon warriors. One could see the look of confusion and nervousness on their faces.
Although their strength was not bad, being within the cavalry formation not became a burden instead of increasing their aura.
However, the wuxiang confusion formation was still of some use. In the distance, there were numerous shadows. When he retracted his gaze and looked out once more, there seemed to be several thousand cavalry.
Ji Lingzi couldn't help but smile. He had the urge to laugh.
To fake their strength...Was this what Tanqiu was planning to do? What a joke!
”He has exhausted his wits!”
Yuan Jiuchen who was at the side also laughed coldly, ”Hearing those horse hooves noises there are at most a thousand of them! However it is best if we are careful for this battle, let's try to wipe them all out…” Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
Although he wasn't a spiritual master and wasn't able to use the spirit eye, he had a pair of ears. Over ten years on the battlefield had trained his ears.
If they were able to deal with heavy losses to common people path, then they would be able to ensure tens of years of peace.
However, at that moment, Boli and Xiaoze exchanged glances with one another.
A bitter smile appeared in both of their eyes as they silently opened up some distance between themselves and the 2 of them.
Ji Lingzi didn't notice anything, firmly believing in what he heard as he nodded his head, ”I have that intention too. We have a 100% chance of winning this battle. It isn't hard to win. What is hard is to kill them all!”
His gaze swept forwards and finally fell on the tip of the 900 iron cavalry. That body which even with the iron armor on looked thin and weak. Ji Lingzi's lips curled up, a mocking intent rose.
So what if he is an unparalleled general seed, the peak of sword sense. Isn't he still going to fall here today?
