Chapter 79 - 79 36 Wolf Vanquisher of Juxu_2
79: 36 Wolf Vanquisher of Juxu_2 79: 36 Wolf Vanquisher of Juxu_2 However, facing countless arrows and heavy arrows, Li Yelai did not defend or dodge but instead lifted his sword and struck the ground.
He spoke like a sudden thunderclap, “Mountain!”
In an instant, Black Shadow flickered under his feet, and countless dark and ethereal Armored Soldiers emerged.
They held shields, surrounding Li Yelai, and simultaneously shouted, “Mountain!”
The Shield Wall rose, immovable as a mountain!
Countless arrows rained down on Shield Mountain, but not a single arrow could penetrate the shield wall!
If there were an experienced Processor here, they would recognize that this was an ability only achievable at the Sixth or Seventh Awakening in the Netherworld Path.
Shadow Army!
Kill the enemy’s flesh, seize the enemy’s shadow, and build one’s own military force!
The more Shadow Army one has, the stronger the military force, and the higher the enhancement received by the Spiritual Ability User!
It was as if one man was an army—such is the Shadow Army!
Li Yelai’s command “Mountain” came from The Art of War by Sun Tzu, Wind Forest Fire Mountain!
Thus, its speed like wind, its leisure like forest, its raid like fire, immovable as a mountain, mysterious as the dark, and move like a thunderclap!
Having witnessed the campaigns of the Champion Marquis, Li Yelai had acquired many skills and techniques.
At this moment, he was deploying the Art of Commanding Soldiers!
The coordination between Soldier Control Technique and Shadow Army allowed Li Yelai to fear no barrage of arrows!
Witnessing this scene, Zhe Lan King let out a mad roar, “Charge forth!
Block him!”
Yes, block him!
Zhe Lan King, overwhelmed by fear, could only issue an order to block him.
He himself turned his horse around and, together with his elite Iron-Armored Cavalry, immediately fled.
But how could Li Yelai let him escape?
The revenge for those heroic martyrs was still unfulfilled!
“Thunder!” Li Yelai growled lowly, and in an instant, the Armored Soldiers by his side transformed into Heavy Cavalry.
Li Yelai launched a charge, his Heavy Cavalry making no speeding motions, yet their hoofbeats thundering.
They crashed directly into the approaching Grassland Cavalry, instantly shattering the bones and sinews of the cavalry they struck.
Amid the enhancement of military force, Li Yelai, like a tank, without even wielding his sword, plowed directly through the enemy lines.
Countless Grassland Cavalry were directly killed on impact.
Some Zhe Lan Cavalry, too afraid to advance, actually formed a route.
They charged in the reverse direction, instinctively pursuing Zhe Lan King.
When Li Yelai burst through the military lines, he could no longer see Zhe Lan King’s figure, but he could discern his direction from the movements of the routed troops.
Thunder was too slow, thunder indeed could enhance the impact force, enabling Li Yelai to directly break through them, and a better horse would yield even better results.
But it did not much enhance speed.
Thus, Li Yelai spoke again, “Wind!”
This too was the Soldier Control Technique that Huo Qubing excelled at.
His prodigious natural talent even allowed him to use multiple Soldier Control Techniques simultaneously—one hand commanding both wind and thunder, encompassing both speed and power.
Li Yelai had not yet mastered these techniques, but using one at a time was enough!
Thus, the Shadow Army by Li Yelai’s side transformed from Heavy Armor Cavalry into Light Cavalry, and Li Yelai’s speed surged!
A single Aerial Step allowed him to leap tens of meters.
Like a shadow, he swiftly swept past the fleeing Zhe Lan Cavalry, and thus his long sword conveniently beheaded one fleeing cavalryman after another.
Like the Grim Reaper, he pursued the thousands of cavalry ahead, just like the young general of those years, becoming the most terrifying nightmare of all the Xiongnu!
If it was said that Wei Qing was the greatest nemesis of the Xiongnu, then that young general was the scourge of the entire Xiongnu nation!
Terrified, Zhe Lan King rode his warhorse across several battlefields.
He planned to find a Taboo Item that could aid him!
Preferably the Red Wanted Order!
If not, even the Mobius Ring Map would do!
As a result, some Processors and Iron Guards who were subduing Taboo Items watched helplessly as a group of cavalry made erratic charges and retreats.
They showed no desire to engage in battle and even bypassed many battlefields.
“What are they…
doing?” Bai Yang, who had lost his right arm, watched perplexedly as the Zhe Lan Cavalry ran past a mere dozen steps away from him.
Then, more startlingly, a speeding Black Shadow closely followed behind the large cavalry group, frantically hunting the cavalry.
He rang a bell, summoning the Double Blade Knights to aid other teammates.
“Night General!” Bai Yang was shocked and then overjoyed, “No wonder the captain thought about passing on the title of Champion…”
Then, with his left hand, he lifted his large sword, not caring about his injuries, and swiftly followed behind.
He saw that the Heart of Slaughter on the opponent’s chest was still pulsating!
…
On the other side, Cheese and Sha Li gathered more Processors, collectively suppressing several Taboo Items.
After suppressing the Mobius Ring Map, the situation was improving; in familiar terrain, everyone was able to quickly support and evacuate.
But Cheese’s face was as white as a ghost.
Li Yelai was gone!
After suppressing the out-of-control Mobius Ring Map, Li Yelai, who was supposed to delay the Grassland Cavalry in the passage, disappeared around the corner and was transported elsewhere.
This filled Cheese with fear; she only hoped that Li Yelai was lucky enough not to end up in the same area as those Taboo Items…
But…
hoping that Li Yelai was lucky?
When had his luck ever been good?
She shouldn’t have let him face the cavalry alone; he wouldn’t have had to fight single-handedly!
But who could have expected that Li Yelai would break through the passage?
Especially since Li Yelai still harbored the Heart of Slaughter.
If the Heart of Slaughter were still with Li Yelai, it had been over an hour now.
Could he have already been seduced by the Heart of Slaughter?
“Can’t we contact the headquarters yet?” Cheese asked again.
“They’re still fixing it; the Destruction Demon Host of the Class B Taboo Items is too powerful!” someone responded.
“Damn it…” Cheese was impatient.
Suddenly, she heard an intense vibration and someone shouted, “A large group of cavalry is approaching!
Get ready to confront the enemy!”
Those Grassland Cavalry?
Cheese’s eyes widened, filled with a fierce light, “Take them alive; they might know where the Night General is!”
“Okay!” the Processors responded.
They hadn’t forgotten that Li Yelai had held off the cavalry for them.
Though exhausted, they made ready to meet the enemy.
If Li Yelai were alive, all would be well; they might leave the cavalrymen in one piece.
But if not…
these cavalrymen would face severe retribution.
And when the Zhe Lan King, crowned and joined by Iron Armor Knights, charged around the corner, the Processors launched an attack.
Yet, they discovered the Zhe Lan King let out a desperate scream, bizarrely ordering a few Iron Armor Knights to cover him while he fled toward another exit.
Were there…
were there terrifying monsters behind this man?
The Processors frowned and stayed alert, given that anything that could frighten an offspring of a Taboo Item might be an even greater danger.
Then, very soon.
They understood why.
Because a figure, bare-chested with gold-red patterns spreading from his chest and a crimson heart throbbing wildly in the center, suddenly dashed from around the corner.
The intense throbbing resounded in everyone’s ears.
For the Zhe Lan King, this was the drumbeat of death!
He held a crimson long sword, now notched, and using Aerial Stepping, he lunged forward and swiftly caught up with the Zhe Lan King.
The Zhe Lan King, hearing the commotion behind him, immediately shouted, “Block him!”
The last few Iron Armor Knights, forced to turn back, raised their spears or prepared their bows.
But it was too slow.
almost instantaneously, the figure had already bypassed them.
Directly appearing behind the Zhe Lan King.
In shock and rage, the Zhe Lan King summoned his last courage and swung back with a spear.
His strength was not weak, enhanced even further by God’s Whip, making him no less a warrior than the Iron Armor Knights.
But he swung at thin air.
The moment he swung his spear, Li Yelai was already before him.
His long sword swung down swiftly and lethally, just like that young general’s lift of the blade from years ago.
The Zhe Lan King’s head, still crowned, thunderously hit the ground.
The Zhe Lan King Flag, previously held by an Iron Armor Knight, finally ceased to wave.
In an instant, countless Grassland Cavalry disintegrated into decay.
The Zhe Lan King Flag, suppressed successfully!
