Divine Brilliance - Chapter 442

Chapter 442: I Didn’t See Anything

“Boli! Xiaoze! What are you two doing?”

His tone was filled with the utmost fear, panic, and rage.

When Ji Lingzi heard that, he was shocked. He realized something was off when he turned around.

He saw that Boli and Xiaoze had respectively retreated off back towards the dingxi iron cavalry and close guards cavalry formation.

At this moment, the elite cavalry of the Han King turned their horses around and moved towards the entrance of the Black Spirit Canyon, actually wanting to back out of this place.

Even those 3 thousand Yan City elite cavalry were all turning around.

The eyes of Ji Lingzi were first filled with anxiousness and disbelief, but then he calmed down. His face turned green, “Are you two rebelling? Colluding with the common people’s path, you two are bold. Aren’t you afraid of military law punishment?”

When Boli heard that, he turned his head and laughed out loud, “Fellow cultivator Ji Lingzi, nice try at trying to frame me. Unfortunately for you, we are under the orders of the Han King to return. Recently, there has been many sowing chaos, and we have to return to calm it down! We won’t be accompanying you here…”

The moment he said that not only were Ji Lingzi and the Tailing Sect disciples stunned, but even some on the side of the common people path they were caught off guard. They looked dumbfounded at the change in the situation.

Under the pressure of these 9 thousand iron cavalry, most of the people thought that they would die.

However who knew that before the war even began the enemy would break into pieces.

Xuanye, Xie An, and pretty much everyone within the formation looked towards Zong Shou with a weird gaze.

Did he predict it long ago?

Yuan Jiuchen, for some reason, thought about something. His face paled.

Ji Lingzi took many successive deep breaths to suppress the panic which rose in his heart once more.

“What are you all doing? Is the Han King going to go up against my Tailing Sect just because of this common people’s path? My Tailing Sect has contributed so much to the Han King these few years. Is his highness going to repay it like this? Isn’t he afraid of my Tailing Sect retaliating?”

The person who spoke wasn’t Ji Lingzi, but the person behind him who had grade 7 cultivation. He was wearing a Taoist robe, and his red face was filled with rage.

“Boli isn’t sure about that. You all can search for the Han King yourself and ask him about it!”

Boli commanded the 3 thousand cavalry under him in an orderly manner. After they changed directions, he smiled, “However his highness has some words he would like me to tell Ji Lingzi and commander Yuan. He wants to ask the 2 of you to say hi to his 9th brother King Liao! After receiving so much help these few years, it is impolite not to reciprocate. Hehe, maybe not long later both of you would receive some news…”

Yuan Jiuchen only felt like his heart was being heavily hit by a hammer. His heart jumped profusely. His body on the horse shook several times like he was about to fall off it.

A bit of panic also flashed at the depths of Ji Lingzi’s eyes. His expression became dark and unusual, “I don’t know how the Liao King connected to this! I only know that the common people path bandits are right in front of us. Are you all just going to let the enemy leave?”

Boli was startled. Then, he mocked, “I thought that fellow cultivator Ji Lingzi should be smart. Who knew that you were a person with no eyes! Which eye of yours saw that there are common people path bandits here? Anyways, my subjects and I didn’t see any. Oi! Brother Xiao, did you see any common people path people here?”

Xiaoze was prepared. The close to a thousand grade 6 dingxi iron cavalry he led was coincidentally behind the purple cloud sword cavalry of Tailing Sect. Out of all the Han King forces, it was the only army that hadn’t retreated. At this moment, they were together with the 900 common people mysterious dragon warriors, forming a pincer movement.

After he heard that, he could only expressionlessly raise his eyelids, “Common people path bandits? I didn’t see any…”

Boli, once again, laughed out maniacally, “So the one who can turn black into white isn’t your Tailing Sect! Oh right, I forgot to mention! There are 40 thousand infantry troops at the entrance of Black spirit Canyon. If you all want to retreat, you cannot go through that path! You were scheming against him, but the person opposite you had already dug the hole several days earlier just waiting for you to jump in. This time it isn’t surprising that your Tailing Sect lost!”

Those 200 Tailing Sect disciples originally had mocking expressions on their faces. Even the most careful ones felt that they had victory in their grasps.

At this moment, the mocking expression was fixed on their faces.

Those 1400 purple cloud sword cavalry seemed to know that the situation wasn’t right, and the atmosphere was extremely suppressing.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a golden talisman flew over the air. Ji Lingzi took it in his hand. His face was instantly covered in a layer of black and green. He crushed it, nearly smashing the talisman into dust!

At the last moment, he suppressed such a thought. He casually tossed the golden talisman to Yuan Jiuchen by the side. The latter used his spiritual sense to look carefully. A moment later, his mouth was filled with a bitter taste.

“…Seven Spirit Qingyin 2 sects tried to assassinate the Liao King, forcing him to act. Using illusory techniques to make him use the Taiqing Chengfeng sword. The Yan City Pass matter isn’t safe anymore, be careful…”

So that was the case! Taiqing Chengfeng Sword was the top-secret technique of the Tailing Sect. In the cloud world, there was only this sect and no other branches!

If this talisman could have come a few minutes earlier, then they wouldn’t have ended up in such a state!

Those thousands of Han King cavalry retreated extremely quickly. In just 8 minutes, they were nowhere to be seen.

Even those thousand dingxi iron cavalry retreated like that of a flood, causing this Yuan Jiuchen to heave a sigh of relief. At least Han King wanted to let both sides suffer heavy losses, not willing to become direct enemies to Tailing Sect.

He looked around. However, his heart was still ice cold.

Within this large canyon pass, only 1600 people remained, still standing on the spot. As compared to just now when they were giving off a huge aura, at this moment they seemed lonely.

Not long ago, victory was in their grasps. However, now they had gone from being the hunter into the prey in the enemy’s eyes.

However, they still had some hope.

“Cultivator Ji! Now we are both in the situation of life and death. However, we still have the advantage. We have close to double their number. Only by fighting to the death can we have a chance to live!”

“Understood!”

Ji Lingzi looked towards Yuan Jiuchen with a weird expression on his face. His heart was filled with respect and admiration. As expected from a famous general that participated in thousands of wars. He was valiant and knew how to make up his mind.

Them, he took in a deep breath, his face sunken as he looked opposite, “Admiration! Liao King facing assassination, was it done by you? Convincing the Han King and easily turning back the situation. I, Ji Lingzi, am not easily convinced by people, but brother Tan is the first to make me convinced. Only the battle today, the victory or defeat is still uncertain. Why not both back-off and retreat?”

Zong Shou kept silent and didn’t say a word, thinking that it was normal that he was unwilling to admit defeat.

He was too lazy to speak to this Ji Lingzi. This fellow

Zong Shou was such a great teen so why would he bother to stoop down to his level.

At this time, he wanted to resolve it amicably, did water enter his brain?

It wasn’t until the Han King people all retreated did he smile, “Fighting against 9 times the enemy was asking to die. Now that you are fighting against twice your number, will you dare fight?”

Those common people mysterious dragon warriors were still okay, the hundred elite disciples’ faves all flushed red, filled with shame. Then, their eyes were filled with a red glow.

They had already had the mind to fight to the death. At this moment when they saw that the situation in which they were heavily outnumbered change, that mentality didn’t disappear. On the contrary, the fighting intent in their hearts grew.

Tailing Sect at Yan City Pass, using this Yuan Jiuchen as bait several times to scheme against the common people path, causing hundreds of common people path disciples to fall. Many mysterious dragon warriors died too.

Anyone who knew about this matter had a lot of pent up anger in them. Now that they had a chance to vent it out, why would they retreat?

Even if they died along with the enemy, they would cause these thousand over purple cloud sword cavalry to be buried here!

Their confidence in Zong Shou had also reached a shocking level.

A month ago, he could use 200 to break 400. Today, he might be able to use 900 common people path mysterious dragon warriors to crush this over a thousand purple cloud sword cavalry!

When Xie An, who originally looked like he was the leader of the rest, heard that, he pursed his lips, slightly unwilling to admit defeat, “In this battle, Xie An is willing to listen to the first seat as the leader!”

Luoshi smiled, “As long as it is not one against nine, Luoshi isn’t afraid!”

Xuanye didn’t speak, just the hand which was holding the sword clenched just a little tighter.

Xuan Shu Xuan Chi was as silent as before. However, underneath their calm faces, there was a bit of excitement.

Zong Shou’s lips curled up and knew that this military heart was useable. He held up the giant red sword in his hand in front of his body and laughed out loud.

“Since that was the case, then let’s fight to the death! Let’s have a hearty battle!”

The silver scale wind stepping beast suddenly jumped, accelerating like lighting. In just a few breaths, he had reached its max speed.

The 900 red iron cavalry behind were first stunned. Then, they also charged out like a wave. Like fish scales, each layer was distinct as they followed behind Zong Shou.

“Fight to the death! Kill!”

When Ji Lingzi saw that, his face turned green once more. Then he hollered out, ordering the horse to shift forwards. He leads 1600 purple armored cavalry, not avoiding and hiding as they smashed head-on.

Their aura filled the sky, the loud sounds from the horse hooves reverberated through the path, like that of thunder smashing down. The vast purple sword energy-charged out from the cavalry force!

Then, a black and red sword image also rose. Turning into a black colored giant dragon that tangled and clashed together!

All of a sudden, numerous energies seeped all about! The 2 sides of the canyon seemed to have been pierced by numerous needles. Thousands of scattered sword energy broke many holes all about.

Zong Shou had no time to think about anything else. The moment both sides clashed, the sword in his hand had broken through the purple sword light. However, with a “keng” sound it was forcefully stopped.

He could see a look of fortune and ease appear on Yuan Jiuchen’s face.

“Xuan iron wenshan armor?”

Thinking about it slightly, he knew what had happened. Zong Shou laughed coldly. Several white shadows charged out from his sleeves, with a speed that the naked eye couldn’t pick up, with just one change of direction, it tossed that person’s head up into the air!
