Chapter179 Chu Nanhuai of the Spiritual Master Realm (1/2)

After the light energy dissipated, all eight hundred soldiers including Shangguan Qingcheng, spurted a mouthful of blood.

Yet the Military formation was still neat and intact with only a few dozen falling off their horses.

Though everyone had incurred injuries and those who fell off their horses were holding on for dear life, but that was about the brunt of it.

The Military Formation was still whole and the cavalry was still strong. They still had the power to battle as usual!

Thus was the Military Formation commanded by a genius General!

Even with their powers combined, including two Qi-refining Level 9 masters, the Senior Priestess and Zhang Yunhe. Plus a Qi-refining Level 8 master, Taoist Yu, was not enough to overpower Li Ye's side. Albeit Taoist Yu was hurt by Song Jiao. Nonetheless, the Military Formation was not to be underestimated. After all not all Military Formations could defend such a formidable attack. The price that Prince An Manor's side had paid was small. Such was the power of their Military Formation.

Although the military organization had been loose in recent years, it still had been illustrious for thousands of years. There was a reason that Militarism, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism had been known as the four greats.

Having seeing the Military Formation of Prince An Manor's side, the Senior Priestess, Zhang Yunhe and others were all shocked. The impact of the formation was so great that they all held their breaths in disbelief.

That was the only opportunity for them to attack.

Because Li Ye and others that had finished off the Pinglu cavalry were already on their way.

Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang were both on the ground coughing blood as they were seriously hurt by the attack, albeit not directly. After all, they both had reached Qi-refining Level 6, so protecting themselves wasn't too hard. As they glanced back and saw that the 800 cavalry formation was still intact, they were frozen there with stiff limbs.

”Impossible! How could this be?” Chen Beiwang looked at the sky and screamed in pain as he gasped a mouth full of blood.

Wang Hanshan's face was as pale as death. He sat down on the ground as if his soul had left his body and added, ”This is too outrageous, even for the Military Formation, and even for the military warrior of Militarism... I don't believe it, I don't believe it!”

He started growling.

”The Ping Lu's have been too far removed from battle. Though the world is far from peaceful, it has been basically stable for many years. It's been too long since there was real chaos, so people may have forgotten how terrible the existence of Militarism is.”

Then, Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang were both taken aback by cold voice. As they looked up, a charming but cold face coupled with a pair of slender legs appeared before their eyes. It was none other than Song Jiao. She was staring coldly at them with those piercing eyes. Her usual sense of enchanting beauty had all but disappeared.

Song Jiao sneered and said, ”You call yourselves generals? What a laugh! If it were the Prince An's army in the old days, you couldn't even command a horse, much less an army!”

Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang's faces turned red as they were humiliated by Song Jiao. Chen Beiwang was about to argue when he suddenly saw the people behind her as he struggled to get up. Then he froze up and added, ”Liu... General Liu?”

It was Liu Dazheng, also known as the First Knife in the Central Plains. He chuckled and said, ”I don't believe it! Someone still knows that I was a military soldier once.”

He glanced at Song Jiao and said disapprovingly, ”Shouldn't I be the one humiliating these two? Who are you to brag about military commands?”

Song Jiao glanced at him and added with disdain, ”How dare you talk to me in that tone when you've only reached Qi-refining Level 8?”

Liu Dazheng protested angrily, ”But I am a military warrior of Militarism!”

Song Jiao stepped away and added, ”How dare call yourself a military warrior of Militarism without any soldiers?”

Liu Dazheng already had a dark complexion, after those comments, it seemed his face had turned a tone darker. However, he could not argue. ”What kind of General am I without any soldiers? A Military Formation wasn't just a gathering of a few hundred people. It required years of training, living together, even fighting. Only when true soldiers respected each other and were willing to die for each other could there truly be a strong Military Formation.

Liu Dazheng shouted at the back of Song Jiao disapprovingly, ”Shut up, you stupid woman! You just wait when Prince An takes power. I will ask him for an army. I was a military warrior of Militarism in the past, and I will be one again!”

Song Jiao stopped, turned back with a murderous look and added with clenched teeth, ”Who are you calling a stupid woman?”

Liu Dazheng avoided making eye contact with Song Jiao's eyes. He knew that he would be no match against her since she had reached Qi-refining Level 9. He just laughed and quickly slipped away.

He was gasping for breath as he tried catching up to Li Ye. Liu Dazheng felt unfair and there was a sense of concern on his face, ”D*mn! How could that stupid woman reach level 9 before me? Alas, I have it coming now.”

Accompanied by Su Emei, Wei Xiaozhuang and Liu Dazheng, Li Ye got to the front of Prince An Manor's Military Formation. He first nodded to Shangguan Qingcheng, then glanced at Senior Priestess and Zhang Yunhe and chuckled, ”Why are you two still here? Are you waiting for a dinner invitation?”

There was no need to go up to Qingshui Villa now as Chen Beiwang and Wang Hanshan had already been caught. Li Ye just had to finish off the Senior Priestess, Zhang Yunhe and others and the situation should be under control.

The Senior Priestess and Zhang Yunhe knew that they were no match for the raging Li Ye, but they both glared at Li Ye with anger. Both wanted to swallow him whole.

They were furious because Li Ye that b*stard actually did not forget the Junior Priestess. He was carrying her petite and delicate body on his back. He didn't want the Junior Priestess to leave his side for even a moment.

Li Ye's act had successfully brought hatred between the Senior Priestess and Zhang Yunhe!

”Let her go, coward! If you have the guts, go three hundred rounds to the death with me!” The Senior Priestess almost shattered her teeth from biting so hard with hate.

Li Xiao added with a smile, ”Yeah, you wish.”

”Li Ye!” Yelled the Senior Priestess angrily. Her long hair was flowing frantically even without any wind. She saw how he gave the command to Prince An Manor's cavalry to attack. ”You are the Grand Prince, the Pinglu commissioner, how can you act so shamelessly? Do you dare to meet me in battle?”

The Senior Priestess got extremely angry every time she thought about their encounter at the Jimo Villa. It was her best opportunity to seize Li Ye and complete the task. But at that time, she did not know his identity. Now that opportunity had long been gone.

If she and the Junior Priestess had seized Li Ye or killed him on the spot that day at Jimo Villa, none of the ensuing troubles would have happened. Now the Junior Priestess had fallen into the hands of Li Ye, and he was parading her body around.

Truth be told, she was certain that seizing Li Ye was possible had she worked together with the Junior Priestess that day. After all, Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang were still passed out, and the two of them had already reached Qi-refining Level 9, so they couldn't be defeated by Li Ye who was only at Level 7, no matter how powerful he was.

Poor Junior Priestess...

The Senior Priestess got angrier the more she thought about the fact that Li Ye was in fact Prince An. And now, her guts were about to burst from anger.
