Chapter 113: Chapter 99: The Annihilation of the Half-Demon Legion (Please Subscribe)
On the Divine Sword Hall Square.
"Daoist Xiao, where are the bodies of Master Yang Mei and Han Tianbao?"
Master Qian asked, "Once the troops from the Luo King’s Mansion arrive, if we deliver the bodies of these two, it will surely shake their Military Heart and Battle Intent."
The consecutive fall of two Heavenly Persons would definitely be a huge blow to the Luo King’s Mansion.
After all, Heavenly Persons represent the highest level of combat power, and even if the Martial Arts Army of the Luo King’s Mansion remains intact, the loss of two Heavenly Persons... the overall combat power will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, in a war involving Celestial Level combatants, the Martial Arts Army must be supported by Heavenly Persons in order to truly exhibit its strongest combat capabilities.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Martial Arts Army is, without the support of a Heavenly Person... collapse is only a matter of time.
The mobility of the Martial Arts Army is not strong; it cannot maintain the battle formation at all times.
After all, while the Martial Arts Army’s gathering of Military Heart and Battle Intent significantly boosts the spirits of the soldiers and the Martial Intent of the generals, it cannot be sustained for long. Once prolonged, it will wane, and eventually, the soldiers will become extremely weary, both mentally and physically.
At that time, they must consume various elixirs to replenish their spirit and recover their physical strength.
So, for a Martial Arts Army to maintain its formidable combat power, two key factors are needed: the support of Heavenly Persons and a sufficient supply of elixirs.
"Buried them on the spot... but I found two Identity Cards on their bodies...."
Xiao Wendao said with a smile.
As he spoke, he took out two plaques from his body.
Both plaques were nearly identical, with the front bearing the Luo King’s emblem and the back engraved with Heavenly Position Minister plus a name.
It represented the identity of the Luo King’s Mansion’s Heavenly Position Ministers.
Those eligible to become Heavenly Position Ministers were undoubtedly at the level of Heavenly Persons.
"These two Heavenly Position Minister Tokens will do as well."
Master Qian said.
"Ah, it’s just a pity for Daoist Hua."
Xiao Wendao suddenly sighed.
Originally, there were two Heavenly Persons, him and Daoist Hua, who had blocked the pursuit of the Heavenly Persons from the Luo King’s Mansion.
He had managed to escape, but Daoist Hua was most likely in great peril.
After all, Daoist Hua didn’t have his ability to flee.
"After we eradicate the Luo King’s Mansion, my Imperial Family will definitely rebuild the Baihua Palace for Daoist Hua."
Master Qian stated.
This was a statement, so as not to dampen the spirits of those present.
"The spirit of Daoist Hua in heaven will surely be greatly comforted."
Xiao Wendao nodded in agreement.
This was what he wanted from Master Qian’s words.
Then, everyone entered the Divine Sword Hall and began to discuss countermeasures.
...
In the midst of the night.
The moon once again hid behind the clouds, casting the world into darkness.
Li Qian followed the march route of the Luo King’s Mansion Martial Arts Army and finally discovered a large troop a hundred kilometers away.
There were about a thousand men.
All of them on horseback.
They were escorting a horse-drawn carriage that sped along the main road.
A flag with the Moon Worship Sect’s pattern of a celestial wolf paying homage to the moon was mounted on the carriage.
He had once seen a half-demon.
And... he absorbed energy from the demon stone every day, so he was extremely sensitive to the aura of half-demons.
Even when the half-demons were not transformed, he could still keenly perceive some anomalies.
At this moment, Li Qian was lying in ambush on a tree beside the road, waiting for the troop to come.
"Such a strong scent of half-demon..."
Li Qian closed his eyes.
Even though he did not release his Spiritual Perception, he could still sense an invisible wave of half-demon energy rushing towards him.
This was because there were too many half-demons, and they were deliberately forming a whole; the invisible release of half-demon energy became very noticeable.
"It’s definitely that half-demon army."
Li Qian confirmed immediately.
This half-demon army, although not in a battle formation or transformed, had their energies connected, evidently using a very special method of half-demon sorcery.
This way, even in the event of an attack... this half-demon army could react in time, preventing them from being caught completely off guard.
After all, the difference in strength between half-demons when transformed and untransformed is considerable.
These half-demons, upon transformation, immediately possess terrible strength comparable to the Grandmaster Level.
But how these half-demons were cultivated was a mystery.
If they could be cultivated without restriction, it would be terrifying.
However... if that were the case, the Moon Worship Sect would have already dominated the world, not hiding like mice in the dark, and even now needing to cooperate with the Luo King’s Mansion.
Clearly, this method of cultivating half-demons must have many restrictions and difficulties.
"This half-demon army’s energy forms a continuum, but ultimately they have not transformed... They need some time to complete their transformation. If I take this opportunity, there is a good chance that I can break their formation...."
He began to calculate, wondering if he could make a successful, sudden attack and then escape with his whole skin?
As he watched the large troop was already halfway.
The horse carriage was also within an arm’s reach.
Li Qian silently calculated the timing.
As soon as the carriage passed, Li Qian didn’t hesitate and suddenly made his move.
Swish!
Sword Eighteen unsheathed.
He streaked out like a phantom, releasing the Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo, and the Chen Bell Sound carried out an area attack, boom, boom, boom...
The invisible bell sound filled the air.
Everyone within two zhang in black attire was enveloped by the Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo.
His sword thrust out like a dragon, and with each strike, sword lights blossomed, stirring up a whirlwind of blood wherever it went.
All black-clothed individuals who had not yet transformed became like chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered; they couldn’t even react, let alone resist.
As he moved swiftly, one by one, the black-clothed individuals fell like wheat being harvested.
It was only then that sharp cries from the carriage in the front rang out, "Ambush..."
