674 Prepare to chase (1/2)

Why did such a person go over to Gantian instead and serve Zong Shou?

It was him, it was Kong Family...

Zhongxuan understood in his heart.

It wasn't that Kong Yao's destiny dragged down Great Shang but that Great Shang was the Kong Family's burden. This caused Kong Yao to show signs of failure so early.

At this moment, she was out of the cage and naturally could surge into the heavens, roaring out a thousand miles.

He remembered that year when Kong Rui argued with him that Kong Yao would definitely become successful, the expression and confidence he had... Anger surged within him.

He had lost the bet, but both of them weren't in Great Shang anymore.

It was already too late to regret now!

Taking in a deep breath, Zhongxuan tried his best to calm himself down.

”Men!”

He shouted out and instantly a 20-year-old Taoist hurried up the stargazing platform.

”Go inform His Majesty! No matter what, even if all the Spirit Realm experts in the palace die, Zong Shou must be killed at Seven Cloud Mountain!”

The Taoist was startled and was about to speak. However, Zhongxuan shook his head.

”No! The stage is already set and can't be turned around! Even if the palace experts rush over, it would be too late! Tell His Majesty to send a talisman to Donglin to say that we can't participate in Daoling Vast Habitat's plot any more!”

If he was not badly injured and was able to walk, he would have rushed into the palace right away.

The Taoist frowned once more and finally found a chance to speak, ”Did you forget that this morning, His Majesty entered Qianlong Mountain to meditate and will only come out in seven days...”

Zhongxuan was startled and then he appeared decisive.

”Even the Queen can make a trip there. This matter is really important and can't be delayed!”

※※※※

Beneath Seven Cloud Mountain, Hu Zhongyuan's chest rose up intensely. He panted continuously.

He had already used up all his energy and his body was covered in injuries. He had less than five percent of his True Qi left and could only barely slash out.

However, the aura he gave off was still like that of a mountain.

Like that of a pillar, standing within the huge army.

He couldn't go on anymore...

Although his face was really sharp, still as calm as before, he couldn't help but have such a thought deep in his heart.

Seventeen of the dozens of stone castles to his right had already been destroyed. Looking out, it was all broken stone walls and castles.

Losing these structures meant that they could only use bodies to block the charge of the Night Demon army.

Luckily Kong Yao placed thousands of Five Arm Spiritual Crossbows at the foot of the mountain. This was why they were able to barely defend and not collapse.

The 600,000 troops of the right wing suffered 40% casualties.

However, he felt proud! In front of his army laid no less than 70,000 Night Demon corpses.

However, each time he looked to the left, he couldn't help but sigh.

One really couldn't compare with others. After fighting an entire night, close to twelve to fourteen hours, Ren Tianxing still held off the main force of the Night Demons.

Ren Tianxing commanded the same number of men but caused heavy damage to the enemy. They even had to stop attacking to prevent even more deaths to hope for the wings to break through.

The 300,000 Cavalry led by Zong Yuan were the easiest. However, opposite them there were 600,000 Night Demons who were on alert and didn't dare to move.

Hu Zhongyuan knew that these two people had used all their strength to contain half of their army, it was already their limit.

He only blamed himself for not having the skill of those two. That close to instinct ability which allowed them to grasp the smallest weakness and counter-attack.

His eyes dimmed as he looked toward the east. The light was bright and he had no choice but to close his eyes. It was already close to noon.

The sun hung in mid-air, shining out tens of thousands of miles. The dark clouds and vapor around the Seven Cloud Mountain were all controlled by a certain power and gathered over here.

However, each time it got 300 miles close, a heat pillar would rise up behind Seven Cloud Mountain. Then, a wind would spread it all about, charging away all the dark clouds.

As a result, the entire 800 miles of battlefield was bright.

The rays of light shot down like sharp arrows, causing the combat strength of the Night Demon warriors to be reduced by 30-40% percent.

Most of them had pained expressions, their skin was tearing apart. Even then, it wasn't something his troops could defend against. Instead, they charged forward like they were beasts and didn't care about their lives.

His eyes witnessed a gory scene.

His pupils constricted and looked over, only to see a healthy boar-like thing knock into the square formation to his right.

It charged swiftly, holding two crescent knives. Where it passed, blood spurted everywhere. No one could block him as numerous body parts were severed and tossed in the air.

The thin spear formation broke apart and was instantly in chaos.

”You are asking to die!”
