Due to his special cultivation method, Zhou Hong’s appearance rate in Tiegu Sect was similar to Sima Zhongda and Cui Bujian.
This didn’t mean our swordsman hadn’t grown at all.
Standing before the city tower, he executed the Single-Character Quick Technique, instantly unleashing eighty sword strikes—this was proof of his improved strength!
“This guy… has gotten stronger again!” Ye Xingchen thought to himself.
Although he had already broken through to Wuzong, if he were to fight Zhou Hong, he wasn’t confident he could win!
Before joining the sect, Zhou Hong already possessed Wushi cultivation. Though he had never enjoyed martial resources, cultivating the Ling Sword Divine Art could still help improve his sword path.
He was a professional sword cultivator, even to the point of obsession. To defeat him, one would need higher cultivation to suppress him.
Xie Guangkun’s eyes bulged wide!
He only saw Zhou Hong casually flick his wrist in front, yet somehow so many sword energies appeared!
Expert, expert, super expert!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Just then, four iron balls carrying tremendous force flew over in arcs, perfectly enveloped by the interwoven sword energies.
Puchi! Puchi!
The hard iron balls charging forward were instantly cut into pieces like tofu, their威力 completely dispersed.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The Tiegu Sect disciples raised their solid iron shields one after another, effortlessly blocking the scattered iron fragments.
Tao Yuan and the enemy general saw this and immediately widened their eyes!
One person, one sword.
Just like that, he easily neutralized four iron balls shot with great force—how terrifying was this!
“Smack!”
Sect Leader Jun caught a flying iron fragment with one hand and said, “My disciple’s current strength probably isn’t weaker than a second or third-rank Wuzong, right?”
The system said, “This boy’s future achievements will definitely not stop at Sword King—very likely Sword Emperor, or even Sword Saint!”
“Tsk tsk.”
Jun Changxiao said, “That’s quite a high evaluation from you.”
“Zuiji.”
He pointed at the four crystal core catapults and said, “Destroy them all for this seat!”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xiao Zuiji fired one shot, pulled the bolt, and continued until four shots were fired—the entire process was incredibly swift!
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
The four light bullets accurately struck the crystal core devices of the catapults, immediately producing tremendous explosions and blasting dozens of nearby enemy soldiers into the air!
Tao Yuan and his deputy generals stood there like wooden chickens!
Jun Changxiao sat down again and said, “Courtesy demands reciprocity. Is General Tao satisfied with our Qingyang City’s greeting gift?”
Very satisfied.
And very frightening!
Tao Yuan’s face looked exceptionally ugly, and he thought to himself, “What kind of hidden weapon is this? At such a distance, it can actually destroy the catapults!”
This was black technology that didn’t exist on Xingyun Continent!
“General Tao.”
Jun Changxiao said, “I’m telling you responsibly—if you really want to forcefully attack my Qingyang City, these soldiers of yours will probably all die here.”
“Hmph.”
A deputy general snorted coldly, “What arrogant words!”
“Don’t believe me?”
Jun Changxiao snapped his fingers and said, “Babies, today let these guests who’ve come from afar witness this!”
Creak—
Below, the sound of the city gate opening came!
“Awoo!”
“Awoo!”
The Wolf Cavalry Hall members who had prepared long ago rode their Hurricane Wolves out like a flood, neatly lining up outside Qingyang City.
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
When the wolf pack appeared, the twenty thousand warhorses on the opposite side immediately neighed in terror!
However, under the soldiers’ soothing, they quickly calmed down. It was clear these warhorses were more battle-hardened than Miao Kuai’s warhorses!
“General!”
A deputy general said, “They’re Hurricane Wolves!”
Tao Yuan’s face turned ugly.
He knew these wolf beasts had cultivation at minimum comparable to fourth or fifth-rank Wushi. Riding them into battle, their combat power absolutely couldn’t compare to his warhorses!
“General Tao.”
Jun Changxiao said proudly, “Facing this seat’s wolf cavalry, do your twenty thousand cavalry have any chance of victory?”
Tao Yuan said flatly, “Although your sect’s mounts are formidable, on the battlefield, one doesn’t rely on reckless charging.”
This meant, my Wolf Cavalry Hall members only know how to be brash?
Jun Changxiao laughed.
“Swish!”
Standing on the city tower, Xue Rengui waved the battle flag and thought to himself, “Little one, today I’ll teach you a lesson—what is a battlefield, what is war!”
“Kill!”
Zhong Yi, receiving the command, shouted loudly.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
The Wolf Cavalry Hall members raised their Overlord Spears and charged forward on their Hurricane Wolves—the momentum they unleashed disturbed the surrounding air!
“Engage!” Tao Yuan ordered.
Thud thud thud!
Twenty thousand cavalry moved forward, then deployed in battle formation. From above, it looked like a crescent moon.
Xue Rengui knew Tao Yuan was using his numerical advantage to set up a large net, then surround the Wolf Cavalry Hall members directly.
Not a bad tactic.
Unfortunately, too underestimating of our Tiegu Sect’s wolf cavalry!
“Swish!”
Xue Rengui immediately waved the battle flag.
Zhong Yi shouted, “With the will to break through formations, death without retreat, kill—”
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
The Wolf Cavalry Hall members following closely behind all drew together, forming a straight spear formation, charging toward the opening net like an arrow.
A pack of wild wolves could change formations so quickly—this surprised Tao Yuan considerably.
“Kill!”
The deputy general commanding the cavalry drew his sword and led the charge!
From above, one could see a long spear and rolling waves rushing to kill each other from left and right!
“Fire arrows!”
The Huwei Army’s deputy general shouted.
The charging cavalry waved their hands, drew bows from their horses’ backs, gripped tightly with their legs on the horses, held the bow in their right hand, and drew the string with their left.
These weren’t just cavalry—they were also archers!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Twenty thousand cavalry fired arrows together. Twenty thousand sharp arrows shot forth, forming a horizontal line!
“Defend!”
Zhong Yi shouted.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The charging cavalry team members summoned solid iron shields from their spatial rings and raised them.
The disciples charging at the front activated their defensive barriers, forming 360-degree completely seamless defense!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The rain of arrows fell, all blocked by the solid iron shields.
“Fire…”
Whoosh—
Bang!
The deputy general charging with the cavalry hadn’t finished issuing orders when a light bullet passed straight through his temple.
“Thump!”
The corpse fell and was trampled by the following warhorses!
“Crack!”
Xiao Zuiji tossed down the AWM, picked up the Type 88 sniper rifle beside him, and fired all twenty bullets at the fastest speed into the crowd!
“Thump!”
“Thump!”
Twenty charging soldiers fell from their warhorses one after another, each with a small hole in their forehead!
Every shot hit, every shot killed!
Although the charging cavalry had lost their deputy general’s commands, they still drew arrows from their quivers again.
But they had no time to draw the strings, because the Tiegu Sect disciples, riding their Hurricane Wolves, had already charged over at maximum speed!
“Puchi!”
“Puchi!”
The Overlord Spears thrust forward, their tips flashing with light, instantly spouting streams of light that pierced through the chests of enemy soldiers directly ahead!
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The following disciples kept up, holding their Overlord Spears as they charged forward, directly tearing a breach in the presented “large net”!
Such fierce and powerful combat strength shocked Tao Yuan completely stupid!
