Chapter 106: Chapter 95: The Plan for the Continuation of the Daoist Tradition (Please Subscribe)
It’s already deep winter.
Because Xuanzhou is located in the north, when winter arrives, the temperature is inevitably very low.
The once endlessly flowing and wide Qi River, its surface has long been covered with thick, rigid ice.
However, at this moment, the land on both banks of the Qi River is already covered by a densely packed and distinct army clad in armor, an air of stern slaughter pervading and adding even more cruelty to the bleak winter month.
"Beat the drums, gather the formation."
Within the ranks of the troops in blue armor, a cold and stern shout suddenly arises.
Even though the army is spread out across several kilometers, the voice still travels to the ears of every Martial Apprentice and commanding officer.
Dong dong dong...
The heavy sound of drums starts to rise.
All of the Martial Apprentice officers feel their spirits lifted and begin to move slowly according to the commands of the Command Flag.
Apart from mid and high-ranking officers, all Martial Apprentices are equipped in standard gear: shields, sabers, spears, bows, and arrows, and so on...
Within the ranks, Pang Bai feels his blood boiling with fervor. This is his first time going to battle since he joined the Martial Arts Army, not a trace of nervousness or fear, instead full of excitement, wishing he could charge out into battle immediately.
He is not the only one; all within the battle formation feel the same, even the lowliest Martial Apprentices exhibit no fear.
An invisible unity of military spirit gathers, rolling battle intent permeates throughout the entire army.
Soon, the entire Martial Arts Army has already formed a complete battle array.
As the army moves forward, the battle intent grows stronger and stronger until it intensively converges to the utmost, drawing the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi that gradually condenses above the entire army into the looming presence of a gargantuan White Tiger phantom.
Simultaneously, within the battle formation on the opposite bank, equally intense battle intent gathers, drawing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and transforming into a colossal serpent shadow coiled in position.
If the White Tiger phantom is to be described as offense,
This coiling serpent shadow would be defense.
In an instant, before the two Martial Arts armies even make contact, the terrifying phantoms of their battle intent have already collided, causing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to create tumultuous waves.
"Kill."
Following the commanding officer’s fierce shout, the White Tiger Formation suddenly accelerates, stepping across the thick icy surface of the river, charging towards the opposing formation with fearsome momentum.
Crack crack...
The confrontation of the two vast auras affects Heaven and Earth, leading to the rapid fracturing and collapsing of the river’s icy surface, revealing the surging waters beneath.
Yet very strangely, all the Martial Apprentices and officers who step on the river’s surface do not fall into the water but instead move as if on firm ground, treading upon the surging waters and broken floating ice, reaching the opposite bank.
Moreover, a thick, strange layer of Qi membrane covers every piece of their armor.
Even the weapons in their hands are coated with a sharp edge. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
It seems that even the most ordinary Martial Apprentices possess the ability to project Inner Qi akin to that of Postnatal Martial Artists at this moment.
The moment the two vast battle formations crash into each other, a fierce and bloody melee begins.
At the same time, atop a hill several kilometers away from the battlefield,
A group of people is observing the battle.
"General Luo, it seems like your side is about to lose its hold."
A black-clad woman wearing a face veil speaks.
"Respected Holy Daughter, we will need your Holy Sect’s assistance to crush the Martial Arts Army of Night King Mansion... Afterwards, the entire territory of Divine Sword Sect... will be under the control of your Moon Worship Sect."
Commander Luo Tiange, holding a horsewhip in his hand, points towards the distance as he speaks.
"Since my Holy Sect is in collaboration with Night King Mansion, naturally, we won’t stand idly by."
The black-clad woman lets out a light laugh.
Suddenly, with a gentle wave of her hand, a large number of men in black emerge like a tide, numbering in the thousands.
Such a number, when compared to the raging battle in the massive war front, seems quite negligible.
However, as these men in black dash toward one side of the formation, their running speed increases, and a brutal aura releases from them, their bodies quickly swelling and transforming, bursting through their clothes to become monstrous beings—ghastly figures over two meters tall, with bulging muscles.
The aura released by each being is nearly on par with that of ordinary Grandmasters.
Now, there were thousands of them.
Such a horde of monsters even formed a battle array, and the ferocious aura they collectively emitted actually shaped into a huge Werewolf form in the skies.
Quickly, this monstrous legion, with its terrifying might, fiercely crashed into the White Tiger Formation across from them, instantly tearing a huge gap at the peak of the White Tiger Formation’s momentum.
These monsters are exceedingly vicious; ordinary attacks are practically ineffective against their defenses.
Conversely, those who are touched by them are instantly shredded to pieces.
In a very short span of time, the situation reverses.
The initially losing Serpent Formation suddenly kicks off a fierce and venomous counterattack.
"Is this your Holy Sect’s Half-Demon Army?"
Luo Tiange’s pupils contract upon seeing this scene.
To his knowledge, even during the rebellion of Moon Worship Sect ten years ago, which was ultimately suppressed, the Moon Worship Sect had not deployed the Half-Demon Army.
And, the existence of Half-Demons has always been known only to the few top echelons of the Great Chang.
The last time Half-Demons made an appearance was at the onset of the establishment of Great Chang, since then, they seem to have vanished without a trace.
Such a lengthy history has left most people to forget the Half-Demons once feared by countless individuals.
All of a sudden, he turns his gaze in another direction, just in time to see several figures quickly flying from afar.
Those belong to the Heavenly Persons from Night King Mansion’s side.
"It’s our turn to make a move."
Luo Tiange says with a malicious smile.
As long as they completely crush the Martial Arts Army of Night King Mansion, it will be the beginning of Night King Mansion’s official counterattack.
