CHAPTER 653: CHAPTER 394 OVERWHELMING POWER_2

General Wu looked at the figure, raising his arm, and the army behind him abruptly halted their steps.

He gazed at Bai Yu, who was sitting on the cane chair, and a hint of suspicion flashed through his eyes.

The general of the White Wolf Army actually dared to stay here alone, which was very unusual.

Having dealt with Bai Yu for so many years, he understood the other’s character well. This person was steady and never did anything he wasn’t confident about. Could it be a trap that he dared to sit here openly?

He glanced around cautiously, not daring to act rashly.

Just as he was feeling uncertain, an aura suddenly appeared from the city behind Bai Yu.

Wu Ang raised an eyebrow.

Grandmaster.

Martial Arts Grandmaster!

No wonder Bai Yu dared to sit here. It turns out the White Wolf Army had gained another grandmaster.

However, he thought that relying on two Fifth Realm practitioners and five hundred elderly and weak soldiers could confront their two thousand men head-on?

In front of an army of two thousand, not even a grandmaster could change anything.

If he could kill Bai Yu today, leaving the White Wolf Army without a leader, it would be difficult for them to form any combat power in a short time, potentially defeating them in one fell swoop.

Just as he had this thought, another aura of a Martial Arts Grandmaster appeared within the city.

Wu Ang’s expression changed slightly, thinking to himself, "Two grandmasters still change nothing."

The next moment, the aura of Martial Arts Grandmasters increased again.

Four grandmasters, somewhat tricky, he had to be careful, yet could still break them with a military formation.

But as soon as this thought arose in his mind, the aura belonging to Martial Arts Grandmasters appeared one after another from within the city like bamboo shoots sprouting after rain, and simultaneously, figures emerged from the city, gathering behind Bai Yu.

These individuals merely emitted a slight aura from their bodies, without deliberately exerting pressure on him.

Wu Ang’s face revealed a hint of bewilderment at this moment.

More than a hundred Martial Arts Grandmasters?

The White Wolf Army had such strength; they could go and raid Wei Country. Did Dan County’s three hundred garrison troops warrant the deployment of a hundred grandmasters?

At this moment, he even doubted whether he had woken up.

This was just a dream during a nap, how could someone like Wu Ang warrant such a grand operation?

But this couldn’t be a dream.

How could a Military practitioner of the Fifth Realm possibly be unable to distinguish between reality and dream?

Wu Ang reached out, slowly took off his helmet, then placed the helmet on the ground, kneeling down himself, extending his hands, and said, "I surrender..."

Throughout, the two sides hadn’t even exchanged a word, yet one side’s general directly knelt in surrender.

The two thousand Central Army soldiers behind him were completely dumbstruck.

The battle hadn’t even started, why had the general surrendered first?

The highest-ranking officer was the backbone of a military unit; without a Fifth Realm military commander, the unit’s strength would decrease by more than fifty percent.

The massive momentum formed by the two thousand soldiers instantly vanished by half.

At this time, Bai Yu, sitting on the cane chair, slowly got up. An invisible force pressed forward, and the formation of two thousand soldiers, like being swept by a hurricane, was immediately torn apart and couldn’t regroup.

At this moment, Bai Yu’s heart was filled with boundless pride.

Unexpectedly, in his lifetime, he could command over a hundred grandmasters, this was probably the most glorious moment for a Military practitioner, even if faced with a Semi-Saint, he had the confidence to kill him!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The general surrendered, and their formation was scattered. In the two thousand troops, people began to lay down their weapons, holding their heads and kneeling down. Quickly, the sound of weapons clashing with the ground became a continuous chorus...

On top of the city wall, two figures looked down with hands behind their backs.

The scene before him was naturally no surprise to Li Nuo.

With over a hundred grandmasters, even the Five Great Dynasties would have to tread carefully, let alone a mere two thousand ragtag troops.

To achieve the goal with the least cost, this Fifth Realm’s general from Yue Country must be kept for now.

Li Nuo didn’t even take any measures against him. Judging by his decisive surrender earlier, this person was undoubtedly a wise man who understood the times.

As long as there were over a hundred grandmasters here, not to mention a mere ten thousand people, even if all the armies of Yue Country united, it wouldn’t stir any trouble.

This was absolute strength suppression.

Li Nuo turned to Dongfang Xuan beside him, asking, "Is the person from the Ximen family still in Yue Country?"

Dongfang Xuan nodded, saying, "In the capital of Yue Country, the heavenly secrets are always obscured, there must be a Sixth Realm practitioner from the Yin Yang School present. I have already concealed my own heavenly secrets, he can calculate nothing..."

Aside from saving people, one of Li Nuo’s biggest objectives was the Semi-Saint from the Ximen family’s Yin Yang School.

The Semi-Saint of the Yin Yang School was the easiest Semi-Saint to deal with.

Of course, easy here meant only to him.

Unlike in Martial Path, Legalism, Confucian disciplines, and others, the Yin Yang School’s only method was life-for-life.

A Sixth Realm practitioner of the Yin Yang School could achieve one-to-one life exchange with Semi-Saints from other schools.

Consume one year of their own life span, reduce one year of the opponent’s life span.

Even forcefully clear the life span of those in the same realm at the cost of violent death.

For those with lower cultivation than them, the price is even less. For the Fifth Realm, the ratio is ten times or even more; they only need to consume one year of life to exchange for ten or even tens of years of a Martial Arts Grandmaster’s life, most grandmasters cannot withstand such an exchange...

Of course, unless faced with a life-and-death crisis, the Yin Yang School would not do so.

No one would casually give up a year of life span.

Below a Grandmaster, the ratio is even more exaggerated; a Vegan Ninth Realm practitioner could cause an Object Manipulation Realm to die on the spot in exchange for one year of their life, and for those below the Object Manipulation Realm, the effect on them is almost negligible...
