Chapter 124: Chapter 109: The Master of Immeasurable Mountain (Please Subscribe)
"Gentlemen, the campaign to exterminate Luo King Mansion has dragged on for far too long, today we must muster all our strength to break through Luo City."
Bai Ze Army’s female marshal said with a grave voice.
Her voice perfectly matched her stature, exuding a profound sense of gravity.
"General Mu, might Luo King Mansion not yet be at its limit? If we launch a forcible attack, I fear it will result in tremendous casualties."
Commander Ma from the Night King Mansion hastily offered his salutation with clasped hands.
Over the past three months, Night King Mansion’s Martial Arts Army joined the siege battles countless times, and while not of high intensity, the losses were non-negligible.
"This commander has no time to linger here any longer."
General Mu from Bai Ze Army waved her hand dismissively, her tone resolute.
She had just received news that the situation at Ning Prince Mansion was unfavorable, and the Bai Ze Army needed to quickly settle the matter with Luo King Mansion before rushing to their aid.
Even if the losses were great, she had to take down Luo King Mansion.
"Commander Ma, Commander Cheng, your two armies will attack from the south and west, you must give it your all, this is an order. The other Martial Arts Armies will join forces to attack from the north... the remaining Heavenly Persons will be in reserve."
General Mu of Bai Ze Army immediately issued the command.
"Yes."
All the Martial Arts Army commanders present, including the strongest among them, Commander Ma of the Night King Mansion and Commander Cheng from the Fan Royal Mansion, accepted the command with a thunderous response.
Military orders were as unyielding as mountains.
They had no choice but to comply.
Half an hour later.
It is now midday.
The time when the sun was at its most intense.
A heavy drumbeat suddenly thundered from Bai Ze Army’s camp.
Following that, a mass of soldiers clad in white armor surged out from their tents, converging into a silvery white sea. A towering martial spirit swiftly coalesced and erupted, drawing in the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, resulting in a powerful reaction, ultimately manifesting an enormous silhouette of Bai Ze.
The terrifying aura swiftly spread, rolling towards Luo City like a tide.
At that instant, the bright sky seemed to darken suddenly, the formidable silhouette of Bai Ze distinct and substantial, like a white beastly cloud.
Though not dark clouds... still, this immense silhouette of Bai Ze gave the palpable impression of a white cloud crushing down on the city, threatening to break it.
.....
Inside Luo City.
Luo King Mansion.
The mansion covered a huge area, epitomizing opulence.
At the moment, Luo King Mansion was heavily guarded, with sentries stationed every few steps.
In the Great Hall.
Though it was summer, charcoal fires were burning here, filling the air with waves of heat.
Cough cough...
The King of Luo, dressed in luxurious white fur, lay on a couch, pale-faced and constantly coughing, his body even trembling.
"Add more charcoal, burn it strong... this King is freezing to death," 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
he said loudly.
The attendant maid hurriedly continued to feed beast charcoal into the furnace.
Fortunately, these maids possessed cultivation, otherwise, in the scorching summer and in such a stiflingly hot Great Hall, they would likely fall ill from the heat.
Suddenly, the King of Luo bolted upright, fixing his gaze in one direction, his eyes filled with deep dread.
Though severely wounded, he could still sense... the terrifying martial intent and presence emanating from the Bai Ze Army camp outside the city.
"Bai Ze Army is about to attack..."
he murmured to himself.
Following that, he bellowed, "Quick, bring me my Armor and weapons."
But he shouted so loudly that it aggravated his injuries, leading to violent coughing and spitting up blood mixed with white froth.
"Your Highness."
Several maids quickly rushed forward.
"Go, quickly."
Despite his pain, the King of Luo struggled to his feet off the couch and commanded with a shout.
Soon, a maid brought over the King’s Armor, assisting him to dress.
When he mustered his energy to walk out of the Great Hall, he saw a figure approaching.
"Regent, why have you come?"
Though the King of Luo was gravely injured, upon seeing this person, he immediately performed a respectful greeting.
"You, you’re in such a state, just wait here."
The person was an elderly man dressed in gray, with white hair and a frown, he spoke.
"Regent, I fear Bai Ze Army is serious this time. Luo King Mansion has reached its most critical moment, I must be present."
The King of Luo shook his head with a sigh.
"Sigh, I will help you one last time. Whether it works out or not, it depends on your fate."
The old man sighed, then turned and left.
"Regent..."
The King of Luo’s expression was complex; initially, when he decided to partake in the rebellion against the Empress Dowager, the Regent had strongly opposed it, but he, ambitious and willful, went ahead anyway, leading the Regent to leave in anger, vowing to no longer interfere in his affairs.
But today... the Regent still came.
....
The vast and mighty Bai Ze Army, like a surge of white waves, spread towards Luo City.
All the defenders on the city walls shuddered in fear.
Behind the walls, in the expansive open ground, a formidable and well-prepared Martial Arts Army stood at the ready.
However, faced with the overwhelming invisible presence of the Bai Ze silhouette that was bearing down on them, the martial intent of this Martial Arts Army was utterly suppressed.
Without even engaging in combat.
At any point, this Martial Arts Army found itself in a thoroughly disadvantaged position.
Not that the Martial Arts Army wasn’t strong; in fact, over these few months, they had battled day and night, repelling the enemy’s numerous assaults.
Although the losses were heavy, they still held on.
Unfortunately, this time they faced the Martial Arts Army of the Bai Ze Legion.
A Martial Arts Army that shook the great Chang dynasty and was unmatched in the world.
Suddenly, a figure in grey clothes flitted over the Martial Arts Army in the sky and appeared above the city wall.
It was an old man in grey clothes.
Suspended in mid-air, he gazed at the oncoming Bai Ze Legion, whose momentum was as majestic as a rainbow.
"Bai Ze Legion."
The grey-clothed old man murmured to himself, "Today, this old man shall see just how strong the Martial Arts Army truly is."
The next moment, a terrifying Martial Intent emanated from his body.
Vaguely behind him, the shadow of a towering mountain formed.
"Wuliang (Boundless)."
He let out a low roar, and the shadow of the mountain rumbled and shook, following his stride toward the Bai Ze Legion.
He intended to use his own strength alone to fight against the unparalleled might of the Bai Ze Legion.
Many martial artists on the city wall, including several Heavenly Persons, were stunned to witness this scene.
"That seems to be Wuliang Mountain’s Master."
A Heavenly Person recognized him.
"Wuliang Mountain’s Master is a top-tier Heavenly Person; Prince Luo actually managed to invite him out."
"This is great, with Wuliang Mountain’s Master making a move, we might be able to withstand the Bai Ze Legion’s assault."
"Quick, everyone get ready. The moment the Bai Ze Legion’s momentum and fighting spirit falter, immediately counterattack."
...
With the action of the grey-clothed old man, Wuliang Mountain’s Master, the Martial Arts Army waiting in strict formation within the city walls suddenly felt the pressure drastically decrease.
"Prepare for battle."
The leading Heavenly Person in the sky issued the order.
The condensed military momentum and fighting spirit grew increasingly strong.
All the soldiers and generals held an elixir ready to swallow at any moment, prepared to leave the city to fight fiercely.
...
Outside the city.
Above the Bai Ze Legion.
Dressed in silver-white, heavy Armor, the leader of the Bai Ze Legion, General Mu, holding a two-meter-long spear, pointed at Wuliang Mountain’s Master floating opposite him and coldly said, "Wuliang Mountain’s Master, could it be that you wish to confront the entire Bai Ze Legion with your sole strength?"
"General Mu, this old one indeed wishes to see for himself whether the Bai Ze Legion is as formidable as the rumors say," replied Wuliang Mountain’s Master in the grey clothes with a light laugh.
"Hmph, even if you are a top-tier Heavenly Person, it’s like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
General Mu of the Bai Ze Legion snorted coldly.
"Whether it is a mantis trying to stop a chariot can only be known after trying," said Wuliang Mountain’s Master in grey clothes. With a grasp of his large hand, the shadow of the mountain condensed a rolling Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, merging with the vast True Qi released from his body. It seemed as if the gigantic mountain shadow had completely manifested, and with a roaring sound, aggressively collided with General Mu of the Bai Ze Legion.
The heavens and the earth trembled.
"Kill!"
General Mu of the Bai Ze Legion roared in anger.
Instantly, the soldiers and generals of the Bai Ze Legion below also roared in unison, "Kill!"
The killing sound from over thirty thousand soldiers and generals convened into a rolling tide of battle momentum and prowess; the enormous shadow of the Bai Ze Beast also issued a silent roar, vigorously surging forward.
Golden drums and iron horses, their aura swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.
The massive shadows of the Bai Ze Beast and the mountain collided fiercely.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The Bai Ze Legion marched forward, enveloped in rolling military momentum and fighting spirit, with the shadow of the Bai Ze Beast growing even more formidable.
The shadow of the mountain was suppressed, even cracks appeared on it, as though it might be shattered at any time.
"Unmatched under heaven, Wuliang Mountain stands tall, soaring above the clouds and unclimbable."
Seeing this, Wuliang Mountain’s Master let out a sudden long howl as his True Qi surged like a tide, and his body rapidly aged.
Not only did the cracks on the shadow of the mountain quickly heal, but the shadow also began to swell and rise, standing unreachably high in the sky.
Even as the shadow of the Bai Ze beast savagely clawed, the shadow of the mountain seemed unassailable.
Suddenly, the shadow of the mountain collapsed with a thunderous crash, smashing down upon the shadow of the Bai Ze beast.
The formidable shadow of the Bai Ze beast was almost shattered.
General Mu of the Bai Ze Legion’s face turned pale instantly, as he nearly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Meanwhile, the Bai Ze Legion below, more than thirty thousand soldiers and generals alike, suffered a significant backlash, with their previously robust military momentum and fierce spirit rapidly diminishing.
"The Bai Ze Legion indeed lives up to its reputation."
Wuliang Mountain’s Master, now as withered as a skeleton, sighed as he looked at the Bai Ze Beast’s shadow that hadn’t completely collapsed. Then he bowed his head, closed his eyes, and his body turned into countless grains of dust, drifting away with the wind.
Then, several city gates burst open. The Martial Arts Army of the Night King Mansion clad in Mystic Armor surged out like a tide, charging towards the Bai Ze Legion whose momentum and fighting spirit had been dampened.
At the same time, on the city wall, countless strong bows and crossbows fired, forming a terrifying rain of arrows that covered the increasingly close Bai Ze Legion.
...
"Father."
At the same time, within the Night King Mansion, a figure clad in Armor, leaning on a spear, Prince Luo let out an anguished roar.
Immediately following, blood spurted from his mouth, his body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Your Highness."
The handmaidens quickly came forward to support him.
But Prince Luo had already completely lost consciousness, his life hanging by a thread.
...
