483 Suicide Attack. Hemp Gown. (1/2)

Dongxuan's strategy was blatantly obvious but also terribly effective – even if lives had to be thrown away, at the very least, they had to bury Qiu Jianhan under their weight! There was no way that Qiu Jianhan would be allowed to survive.

There were massive benefits, a great reputation, and an abundant pension at stake! As long as they died, sacrificed in this battle, their future generations would get to enjoy these endless benefits!

Who would hold themselves back?

What was more, the disciplinary squad was right behind them with their gleaming steel sabers! They could barely stay alive by advancing but there was a chance for them to contribute merits; even if they died, the massive benefits were worth it. On the other hand, if they hesitated and took even the slightest step back, they would be charged with treason; not only would their deaths be ignominious, their reputations would be spat on for eternity.

Yun Yang locked his target down and howled again, ”You shall die, should you stand in my way!”

He was like a berserk tiger that threw itself into where the crowd was thickest. His long saber that was curved from repetitive hacks and chops, moved again, spraying droplets of blood in a crimson curvature amidst the crowd.

Everywhere the saber passed, countless martial world experts were flung away with a gasp as they came into contact with the power; many of them practically blew apart in the air, dying in a quick and spectacular manner.

Yun Yang and his horse advanced like a ship cleaving through water, cutting a clear path with blood trailing after them. Bodies were strewn everywhere, devoid of life, wherever he passed. The hundreds of thousands of army men and experts could not hinder his movement for even a blink of an eye.

Yun Yang was a bolt of lightning, slicing through the sky towards Qiu Jianhan's escorts. If Yun Yang had been distressed earlier, he was absolutely crazed now.

He knew now that there were Old Marshal Qiu, Bai Yixue, the four popinjays, and the three ladies, Ji Lingxi, Yue Rulan, and Shangguan Lingxiu, as well as his father by name, Marquis of Heavenly Clouds Yun Xiaoyao. Not only did Yun Yang not want to lose Old Marshal Qiu, those named above were the closest people to him that he did not want to be torn apart from as well!

He must not lose them!

Never!

Unfortunately, the enemy's attacks were insane. The squad was nothing more than a small lifeboat amidst the raging ocean that could capsize anytime.

Yun Yang's combat power was over the limit; he was a god made for killing, descended from heaven and utterly unmatched!

Zhan Ge, who was standing at a high point on the other end to command the war, had, of course, noticed the variable to the battle – one petrifying silhouette who was mowing down his army like lightning bolts. Zhan Ge was Han Sanhe's prized disciple, the direct heir to the teacher's teachings; naturally, he was well-versed about warfare and strategies. He immediately noticed the odd situation.

He issued his orders immediately, ”Suicide attack! Banzai charge! Target the purple-clothed man like how we did the white-clothed man!”

There was a price to each head from Yutang's eastern troop – Qiu Jianhan's was, of course, the top of the rank with Fu Baoguo following closely behind. Bai Yixue's head claimed the third spot.

It had initially been because of what had previously happened with Bai Yixue. It was Bai Yixue who had orchestrated the countless ambushes and assassinations during Han Sanhe's return trip; now that they met again, there was additional attention paid to him with an additional sense of murderous intent. However, when they actually encountered each other, Dongxuan's ace cultivators were quick to report back that it was better not to provoke this person if it was possible.

Bai Yixue's capability far exceeded the ace experts' knowledge, so ordinary war strategies were basically useless against him. They would only waste precious lives!

Han Sanhe reevaluated Bai Yixue then. He even ordered his men to relent when they met this person. It was fine to let him go scot-free.After all, Bai Yixue was not Yutang's military authority. The state of war would be unaffected by his state of being.

In spite of this, Bai Yixue was never seen far away from Qiu Jianhan; he was like a shadow. To kill Qiu Jianhan, they had to put down Bai Yixue first. After another tormenting debate, they finally concluded that they still had to kill Bai Yixue, no matter how challenging it was to do so!

Truthfully, if it were not for Bai Yixue's pillaring force, Old Marshal Qiu's remaining guardians would have collapsed and crumbled. Yet, it was also due to this point that Bai Yixue attracted more than half of Dongxuan's top combat forces alone. He had killed plenty, but he was also greatly drained and could only work with Yun Xiaoyao to maintain the last defense line.

That being said, Yun Yang's current unexpected attack replaced Bai Yixue in capturing Zhan Ge's attention. While Zhan Ge was a notable general on the battlefield, his knowledge regarding cultivation experts was limited; to place Yun Yang on the level of Bai Yixue, he would have had regarded Yun Yang too highly!

Still, Yun Yang's current aggressive aura was indeed much fiercer than that of Bai Yixue. At least, Bai Yixue was too far behind Young Master Yun.

To be fair, It was meant to be Zhan Ge's concern. He could not bear the appearance of another killing machine like Bai Yi nor could he allow the reunion between the newcomer and Qiu Jianhan's guarding troop. He had to kill him before both sides met!

”Beat the drum again. Put in more effort to end this battle quicker. I want to see Qiu Jianhan's head!” Zhan Ge shouted with excitement written plainly on his face.

He did not notice that not too far behind him, there was a flash of strange emotion across the face of Han Sanhe who was resting. It was as if he was sighing or perhaps lamenting.
