Unrivaled Medicine God, page 719
The subordinates were all silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to say anything.
Great General Sandcliff would suddenly turn hostile and pretend not to know old friends in his rage.
“Great General, now that it played out like this, we can only attack by force! Fortunately, the tail over there has already been dealt with cleanly. The army will go over from Fiend Calling Ridge unceasingly. The north city’s defense is much weaker than the south city. As long as we can tie down sufficient military strength, we can breach the city all the same!”
The one talking was Sandcliff’s most trusted army advisor. At this time, only he dared to speak.
Sandcliff snorted coldly and said, “This damn fool, after capturing the city, Your Father will definitely show him some colors! Pass orders to the army, immediately attack the city!”
“Yes!”
The moment the generals heard, they immediately accepted the order and left.
…
At the same time, inside Tiderain City’s City Lord Manor, Commander Wang and Great General Guo Changmin were currently listening to Zhao Bin’s military report.
Zhao Bin endured his injuries and recounted what he saw and heard in the forest once more, then kept quiet.
Guo Changmin was as steady as a mountain, without joy nor sorrow. Musing for a moment after he heard the report, he asked Wang Yifeng, “How do you view this matter?”
Wang Yifeng had clearly long pondered over it already and immediately said, “Zong Tao’s words are also not unreasonable. The fiend race has always been cunning. We’ve suffered quite a bit of loss before too. Not ruling out the possibility that they deliberately want to disperse our military strength. But … I feel that it’s necessary to be on guard!”
Hearing this, Zhao Bin also heaved a sigh in relief.
Guo Changmin slowly said, “This matter, wait until that Ling Feng comes back before talking. If the intel is true, Yifeng, your Third Army will temporarily organize a defense for south city and strengthen south city’s defenses!”
Wang Yifeng answered, “Yes!”
Right then, there was a subordinate who came to report again, “Great General, a large group of fiend race army suddenly appeared outside the city and are already sieging the walls!”
Came so quickly!
Hearing this news, the faces of everyone including Guo Changming all changed drastically.
The fiend race army’s appearance was too sudden. They did not receive any news at all!
Guo Changmin said in a solemn voice, “How many people are there?”
That subordinate said, “A large dense swarm; too many to count! Preliminary estimates are no lesser than 300 thousand people no matter what!”
Hiss …
Everyone all sucked in a breath of cold air.
An army on the scale of 300 thousand people, this kind of battle had not happened for a long time.
Looks like this time, the fiend race came prepared!
There were only 80 thousand elites in Tiderain City, but the fiend race had at least 300 thousand people. This was bound to be a dreadful battle!
“Pass down the orders, all legions are to immediately await orders to defend the enemy from the city! Yifeng, your legion will divide out half of its troops and garrison north city! Immediately send people to Kangding City and request for reinforcements …”
Although Guo Changmin was shocked, he did not panic. One order after another was issued out.
…
Fiend Calling Ridge, by the cliff, Xiu Lie left behind a hundred-man team to receive the fiend race army coming from the back.
“Really saw ghosts! I heard that Eminent Orchid Imperial City spent a huge price in order to craft these flying boats, transferring over a hundred pieces of magnetic divine stones from other imperial cities at a king’s ransom! Originally thought that we can directly capture Tiderain City with an army suddenly appearing out of nowhere. I didn’t expect to get off on the wrong foot, to actually be detected by the humans!”
“You didn’t see Lord Xiu Lie’s expression, it was simply going to kill people!”
“If it were me, I would also want to kill people! After Tiderain City is captured, Lord Xiu Lie can’t dispense with suffering Lord Sandcliff’s criticizing and ridiculing.”
“I can’t understand until now, just who Mu Feng they all encountered, to actually have not a single one escape!”
…
Two fiend race captains were currently chatting away, very puzzled by the leaking of the intel.
The originally seamless plan actually failed miserably at a simple task. How could it not make people depressed?
At this time, a figure suddenly slowly walked out and said with a slight smile on his face, “Looks like you all are very interested. Why not … I’ll tell you guys!”
Those fiend soldiers were all suddenly startled awake, greatly astonished by a human’s appearance.
That centurion’s brows furrowed, feeling that this person before his eyes was rather familiar.
Suddenly, his eyes revealed a look of horror as he said in disbelief, “You … You’re one of the humans who jumped off the cliff! How is this possible?! How can you possibly show up here?”
This hundred-man team was Xiu Lie’s personal guard. This centurion was the one who followed by Xiu Lie’s side previously.
Far away, he saw Ye Yuan and Ling Feng jump off the cliff, that was why he would feel that he looked familiar.
But this should have been a dead person originally, how could he possibly show up here?
When the others heard the centurion’s words, each and every one all revealed astonished looks.
It had been unheard of that someone who jumped off the natural chasm could still come back alive!
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, “Dead men don’t need to know so much!”
The centurion’s gaze turned intent and he said with a cold sneer, “Dead men? Just the likes of you, an initial-stage Heaven Glimpse? Although I don’t know how you came up, you’re probably mistaken. I, this centurion, am not an ordinary centurion!”
The centurion’s aura released, erupting with a powerful aura. He was actually a late-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouse!
Ordinary centurions were only middle-stage Heaven Glimpse, but the strength of Xiu Lie’s personal guards were a notch above ordinary soldiers.
“Hahaha … ignorant human, are you cracking a joke? Us personal guards, each one can fight one versus ten. You actually dared to come back to deliver yourself to death!”
“Are you trying to tell us that Mu Feng they all were killed by you? Let me tell you, us captains, any one that randomly comes out can eradicate their squads!”
“Humans are indeed stupid, thinking that they are terrific with a bit of strength. To actually dare come and provoke us, really making people die of laughter!”
…
Those few captains all revealed contemptuous looks, looking at Ye Yuan with disdainful expressions.
These captains’ strengths were not ordinary. Some were even middle-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses.
One initial-stage Heaven Glimpse challenging a hundred-man team, furthermore, they were even elites among elites, this was simply a joke.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “It’s all the same to me! Sending Ling Feng away, I can finally let my hands and legs loose and kill.”
Ye Yuan slowly took out the Evil Extermination Sword, his figure instantly vanishing from where he was.
Pfft!
A captain’s head immediately exploded. Even his fiendish essence did not have time to escape.
The moment he made his move, it killed a middle-stage Heaven Glimpse captain!
The centurion’s gaze sharpened, finally realizing Ye Yuan’s prowess.
“This brat isn’t simple, attack together!” the centurion said somberly.
Ye Yuan grinned and casually sent out several Sundering Stars.
Puu, puu, puu …
Several fiend race soldiers’ bodies directly exploded, instantly being garroted by the sword energy.
Ye Yuan’s one person and one sword swept through among this hundred-man team akin to a no-man zone!
The more the centurion fought, the more alarmed he became. Was this really a weak human martial artist?
Looking at the hundred-man team’s numbers rapidly reducing, the centurion’s heart sunk to rock-bottom.
Suddenly, the centurion’s gaze turned intent, his eyes revealing a look of shock.
Ye Yuan broke through!
Chapter 1468. Cutting off the Path of Retrea |
“Heh, your strength is indeed not bad; it’s not to the extent of making me too bored! Now, I can send you all on your way.”
Ye Yuan’s voice sounded out faintly, sounding the funeral bell of this hundred-man team.
Only to see Ye Yuan’s figure become a blur. They actually could not sense Ye Yuan’s traces!
Too fast!
Ye Yuan who broke through to middle-stage Heaven Glimpse, his strength immediately soared by a great margin.
Those fiend race soldiers originally still could contend a little, but now, they were completely too weak to stand up to a single blow.
The centurion had a horrified look. How could he still care about his subordinates? His figure moved, speeding into the distance.
“Heh, can you escape?”
Ye Yuan laughed coldly, his figure turning into a wisp of light smoke. That centurion did not even emit a scream and was directly annihilated.
The others ran helter-skelter, but Ye Yuan would not give them the chance at all, sword drawing like the wind, wiping out this hundred-man team clean very soon.
Right then, a flying boat slowly approached.
On the flying boat, someone just happened to see the scene of Ye Yuan massacring the hundred-man team and shouted loudly, “What are you doing?! Human, you’re courting death!”
The arrival’s aura was very powerful. He was actually an Origin Deity Realm fiend race powerhouses; he was likely a high-ranking military officer.
Ye Yuan looked at the other party from afar. Suddenly, a hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of his mouth and he said, “The ones courting death … are you all!”
Then, under everyone on the fly boat’s dumbfounded gazes, Ye Yuan suddenly took a step forward.
Ye Yuan was already standing on the edge of the cliff at this time. Another step forward and he would fall into the natural chasm.
“What is he doing? Does he know that he can’t escape and is going to kill himself?”
“This human isn’t a fool, right? To actually want to jump off the cliff to commit suicide!”
“Goodness me, my heart is somewhat thumping from watching! Fell down! Fell down!”
…
However, the reality was not like they imagined.
Ye Yuan, his step was taken very solidly, akin to flat ground!
Just like this, Ye Yuan stepped on the air and came.
All of the fiend race warriors had their eyeballs pop out, looking at this scene in disbelief.
This person could actually step on the air and fly?
You have got to be kidding!
Under such a terrifying gravitational field, there was actually someone capable of flying in the air!
“Not good! What … What does he want to do?”
That Origin Deity Realm military officer suddenly startled awake. He discovered that right now did not seem to be the time to be shocked.
Ye Yuan stepped on the air and came, what on earth was he going to do?
“Kill him! Don’t let him approach the flying boat! Mustn’t let him draw close to the flying boat!
The Origin Deity Realm military officer’s voice revealed exhaustion from shouting at the top of his voice and fear!
He used all of his strength and struck a palm towards Ye Yuan through the air.
The palm of an Origin Deity Realm, the power was naturally incomparably terrifying.
Swoosh!
Ye Yuan’s figure suddenly plummeted but directly avoided this palm.
“Where is he? Where did he go?”
“Could it be … fell to death?”
“Hahaha … Lord Li Kong is mighty! That brat still wanted to play tricks. Now, see how he plays!”
Creak.
The voice had yet to fade when an intent tremor occurred on the flying boat and it actually tilted a little. All of the fiends staggered as if struck.
“Wh-What happened? Why did the flying boat slant?”
“Damn it! It’s that human punk! He … He wants to turn the flying boat over!”
“Impossible! This flying boat was forged with Dark Gold Heavy Metal. Even an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse can’t push it. How can he, a Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist, possibly turn it over?”
“H-Help! I … I don’t want to die yet!”
…
On the flying boat were screams of despair everywhere.
To these fiend race soldiers, right now was simply the end of the world.
On the flank, a place where the group of fiend soldiers could not see, rays of golden light flooded on Ye Yuan’s body. At the same time, a forcefield poured out in torrents.
This heavy flying boat actually slanted a little again.
“HAH!”
Ye Yuan gave a huge shout, using all of his strength to push. The flying boat was directly pushed to a 90-degree angle.
“Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!”
Tragic screams came over one after another. Each and every one of the fiend soldiers started screaming frantically.
The moment the flying boat tilted, that horrifying gravitational field directly pulled those fiend soldiers, falling into the 100 thousand foot deep abyss.
No matter how they screamed, it was of no avail.
Even that Origin Deity Realm officer also fell into the abyss swiftly, disappearing very quickly.
Ye Yuan stood on the flying boat, looking at this scene coldly.
Above this natural chasm, Ye Yuan was like a fish that entered the water, while these fiend soldiers were like a bunch of land ducks that had never been in the water.
No matter how high your realm, how formidable your strength, there was only being drowned to death.
Ye Yuan waited patiently for a while. Sure enough, another flying boat came over again.
The two banks were extremely far apart. With the visual prowess of Deity Realm powerhouses, they could not see the situation on the opposite bank too.
This flying boat’s product was very crude. It could only be sent over one-way, then launch the array formation to return, the mobility exceedingly poor.
As long as it was intercepted in midair, it could only be a lamb awaiting slaughter.
This kind of flying boats’ usage was extremely narrow and limited. Without this kind of powerful gravitational field, it had no place to display its ability at all.
Furthermore, the fiend race was anxious to throw it into the battlefield and did not have time to develop meticulously at all too.
Hence, it benefited Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan waited by a tree stump for a hare to dash itself against it on this side of the shore. Half a day’s time, he flipped over a total of five flying boats.
Among this, just the Origin Deity Realm experts were as many as three.
Once they got on the flying boat, they were simply lambs awaiting slaughter; without the slightest strength to retaliate at all.
Once the flying boat was tilted, the horrifying gravitational field would immediately pull them into the abyss!
…
Xiu Lie’s face was incredibly grim, his entire person appearing restless and uneasy.
“What the hell are they doing? Why haven’t the people at the back arrived yet?!” in the dense forest, Xiu Lie roared.
Ahead was Tiderain City’s northern city gates. They had been lying in wait in the dense forest all this while, awaiting an opportunity to attack the city.
Except, just as they expected, Tiderain City had indeed strengthened the northern city’s defenses.
At this time, a soldier rushed over at top speed, knelt in front of Xiu Lie, and said, “Your Excellency, Centurion Tong Huai and his hundred-man team had already gone missing. This subordinate waited for very long at the edge of the cliff, but not one flying boat came over!”
“What did you say?!” Xiu Lie’s expression changed drastically as he yelled coldly.
Not just Xiu Lie, the faces of those generals by his side were all white as a sheet.
This news was simply a bolt out of the blue to them.
Without the flying boats, they were equivalent to an isolated force.
Although they could circle around from inside the forest, this dense forest was not suitable for their large-scale army to advance at all.
There were many powerful fierce beasts inside the dense forest. Once they startled the beast herds and set off a beast tide, none of them could escape.
Therefore, the region Ling Feng they all patrolled could occasionally run into small-scale fiend race squads. But large-scale marching could not be done at all.
“Those two spies are already dead, could it be that there are still human powerhouses lying in ambush nearby? Impossible! Over a 50-mile radius has been searched through, there aren’t others at all! Who the hell did it? Even if Tong Huai they all ran into an Origin Deity powerhouse, it’s also impossible for not a single person to escape, right?”
Xiu Lie racked his brains, but he could not figure out what was going on no matter what.
Chapter 1469. Spiriteye Green Soul Powder |
“Your Excellency, what should we do now?” A subordinate could not refrain from asking.
Xiu Lie’s face was extremely grim, his gaze revealing a hint of viciousness as he said in a solemn voice, “We can’t wait anymore. Summon the whole army, attack the city now! We only have one path now, breaching the city!”
The other generals’ faces also revealed decisive looks as they answered, “Yes, Great General!”
Xiu Lie said in a solemn voice, “Tell them that our way out is already cut off. There’s only cutting off all means of retreat that we can survive!”
