However, why did such a person go to Gantian and become a subject under Zong Shou?
It was him, it was the Kong Family …
Zhongxuan suddenly understood something.
So it wasn't Kong Yao's fate that dragged down Taishang. It was the fate of Taishang. It was because of the Kong Family which caused Kong Yao to show signs of decline.
Now that she broke out of the cage, naturally she would soar into the heavens and roar a thousand miles.
He remembered that year when Kong Rui argued with him, he was sure that Kong Yao would definitely become a great person. Zhongxuan's chest was filled with rage.
He lost the bet but the father and daughter weren't in Taishang anymore.
At this moment, it was too late for him to regret!
Taking in a deep breath, Zhongxuan forced himself to calm down.
"Men!"
With a call, a Taoist who looked around 20 hurriedly walked up the stargazing platform.
"Go inform His Majesty! No matter what, even if all the Spirit Realm Experts in the palace die, he must kill that Zong Shou at the foot of Seven Cloud Mountain! "
The Taoist was startled when he heard that and was about to speak. However, Zhongxuan suddenly shook his head.
"No! This kid's momentum is already formed and can't be reversed! Even if the experts in the palace rush over, it would be too late! Go inform His Majesty and he can send a talisman to Donglin. We can't participate in Daoling Vast Habitat's secret plan! "
If he wasn't heavily injured and couldn't walk, he would have rushed over. He really wanted to charge into the palace right now.
The Taoist's brows furrowed once more and finally found a chance to speak, "Did you forget? His Majesty has entered Hidden Dragon Mountain to go into seclusion. He needs seven days before he comes out … "
Zhongxuan was startled and then a determined expression appeared on his face.
"Then let's invite the Empress to make a trip to Hidden Dragon Mountain. This matter is really important and we can't waste any time! "
※ ※ ※
At the foot of the Seven Cloud Mountain, Hu Zhongyuan stood with his saber. His chest heaved up and down violently as he panted heavily.
Xiao Chen was already fatigued, and his entire body was riddled with wounds. He only had less than five percent of his aura left, barely able to draw his saber.
However, he still stood tall and straight like a mountain.
He was like a pillar that supported the heavens, standing in the middle of the army.
I can't hold on any longer …
Although his face was incomparably cold, he was as calm and collected as he was at the start of the battle. However, Hu Zhongyuan couldn't help but have such a thought flash across his mind.
Seventeen of the dozens of stone castles on his right flank had already been breached. As far as the eye could see, there were broken stone walls and stone barricades everywhere.
Without these structures, they could only rely on their flesh and blood to resist the Night Demon Army's attacks.
Luckily, Kong Yao had placed thousands of five arm spiritual crossbows on the mountain. Only then could he barely hold on and not collapse.
Nearly 40% of the 600,000 soldiers on the right flank were dead or injured.
However, Hu Zhongyuan felt proud! In front of his army laid no less than 70,000 Night Demon corpses.
With their weaker combat strength, they were able to cause close to 2 to 1 casualties. This could be considered his most outstanding battle result in these three months.
However, each time he looked to the left, towards the center of the army, Hu Zhongyuan would sigh.
One really couldn't compare to one another. They fought intensely for an entire night and 12 to 14 hours had passed. Ren Tianxing's side was still firmly blocking the main force of the Night Demons.
With the same number of people, they were able to cause heavy casualties. They even had to stop their attacks to prevent more casualties. They were looking forward to the two wings breaking through.
The 300,000 cavalry led by Zong Yuan were the most relaxed. However, opposite them, there were 600,000 Night Demon troops who were waiting solemnly, not daring to move at all.
Hu Zhongyuan knew that the two of them had already gone all out. Restricting half of the Night Demon Tai's army was already the limit of what the two of them could do.
He could only blame himself for not having the ability to use troops like the two of them. Instincts that were close to talent allowed Ren Tianxing and Zong Yuan to easily grasp the smallest weakness of the enemy and counterattack.
His gaze dimmed as he looked towards the east. The sunlight was eye-catching, causing him to close his eyes. It was already the end of the day, close to noon.
The sun was in the sky, shining brightly for 10,000 miles. Meanwhile, in the surroundings of this Seven Cloud Mountain, countless dark clouds and water vapor could be seen. They were guided by a wave of power, gathering in this direction.
However, each time it got close to 300 miles from the battlefield, a hot energy pillar would charge up from the back of Seven Cloud Mountain. Then, numerous intense winds would spread out in all directions. The dark clouds were all pushed away into the distance.
This caused the surrounding 800 miles of the battlefield to be bright and sunny.
The rays of sunlight were like sharp arrows as they landed, causing the combat strength of the Night Demon soldiers to decrease by 30-40%.
Many of their expressions twisted in pain, their skin cracked and festered. However, even then, it wasn't something that the soldiers under him could block. Instead, it was like their vicious nature was ignited as they charged forwards without any regard for their lives.
Suddenly, incomparably gory scenes jumped into the corner of his vision.
Hu Zhongyuan's pupils constricted as he looked over. He saw an agile leopard-like body smashing into a square formation to his right.
He swiftly charged forwards, holding two crescent blades. Everywhere he passed, blood and meat splattered. No one was able to block this person for even a moment. Numerous broken limbs flew up into the air.
The already thin and shaky spear array instantly became even more chaotic.
"You're asking to die!"
Hu Zhongyuan hollered, pretty much without even thinking. He rode his beast out and slashed out with his blade.
The sharp blade shadow brought with it an energy glow that was so small that it couldn't be seen. The weakness of the energy in his body was revealed.
That person scoffed coldly, after giving out a vicious smile, he also charged forwards. The two crescent blades formed thousands of blade shadows, covering Hu Zhongyuan's entire body within.
One side was so tired that they wanted to die, while the other side had been resting up for a long time.
Both of them had the same cultivation, but when the Tiger King Knife smashed into the sky full of blade light.
It was like a hot knife through butter as it slashed in.
The tempering on the battlefield had made his current saber technique extremely concise. Going forward with no return, it was really overbearing but also really sharp and agile. It didn't waste any strength and also wouldn't cause the strength of the blade to weaken because of saving strength.
In the past, Zong Shou would occasionally give him pointers. At this moment, he had grasped all of it and merged it into the Tiger King Knife.
Although his energy was exhausted, it didn't mean that he couldn't break strength and quickly break strength!
After a few consecutive strikes, there was a "pu" sound as the head of the Night Demon was sliced off.
The Tiger King Knife Shadow also retracted. Hu Zhongyuan was too lazy to even look at the corpse as he rode his horse back to his original spot.
The surrounding soldiers also cheered, and their morale was boosted once again.
At this moment, a small half of the Grade-7 experts of the Night Demon had already fallen.
Out of the 20, 16 of them died under his and Chai Yuan's blades.
However, when Hu Zhongyuan steered his mount with a calm expression and stood up again, his heart had already sunk to the bottom of the valley.
He didn't know whether or not he would be able to wave his blade once more, how much internal energy would he be able to use …
He also didn't know when this defensive line would be broken.
It shouldn't be far away, at most it wouldn't be more than an hour!
The outcome of this battle had already been decided! There wouldn't be any other possibilities …
The reason why he was still standing here was because he was trying his best to recover his energy. It wasn't because he still had hope in his heart. It was just to deal with the following battle to the death.
It was a true battle to the death. Even if he, Hu Zhongyuan, died in battle, he would die heroically!
If he didn't chop off a thousand more Night Demon heads before he died, how would he be willing?
He turned around and exchanged glances with Chai Zhou at the side. Only to see that his best friend when he was young was broken from his knees down. He was unable to walk and could only sit on his mount.
This was a Grade-8 Night Demon who had attacked and heavily injured Chai Zhou. He, Hu Zhongyuan, had also expended fifty to sixty percent of his strength for this.
Naturally, this person wasn't having a good time either. His left rib was slashed by his blade.
At this moment, a long time had passed and he still hadn't appeared.
If he wasn't dead, then he was so badly injured that he couldn't fight anymore.
Chai Zhou was really calm and knew that he was about to die. There was no trace of fear or sadness on his face either. At this moment, he frowned and looked into the sky.
"Why is ruler still fighting with Jia Mingluo? If we don't retreat now, when will we? "
Zong Yuan's brow rose up when he heard this, worry flashed in his eyes.
Looking out, only Zong Shou's body was still in the sky, fighting with Jia Mingluo. Sword Light swept and surged thousands of miles. The intense battle was intense and he had no intentions of retreating.
He was actually suppressing Prince Jia Mingluo by a little.
However, at this moment, he was far from being able to beat Jia Mingluo.
From the looks of it, the two of them were about the same, sharing the limelight on equal footing.
At this moment, the Spirit Realm Experts of the Night Demons were all restricted and unable to help.
However, if the left and right wings collapsed. If the Night Demons attacked, the outcome would be unpredictable.
However, Zong Shou had no intentions of retreating. Although the two of them were anxious, they couldn't say anything to remind him.
Although they lost this battle, if Zong Shou returned to Donglin safely, Gantian Mountain would still be as stable as Mount Tai.
The thousands of Dragon Horn Winged Horses of the Blood Cloud Cavalry could fly across mountains. If they wanted to leave, no one could stop them.
They only needed unparalleled general talents like Ren Tianxing and Zong Yuan to protect them. Then, once Gantian Mountain stabilized, they could attack Huizhou once more and chase away the Night Demons.
Just as he was feeling annoyed, he uneasily grabbed the handle of the knife in his hand. Hu Zhongyuan suddenly saw a golden light land from the peak of Seven Cloud Mountain.
It was a talisman. Hu Zhongyuan's brow rose up as he grabbed it.
As expected, it was an order from Kong Yao. This woman's attainments in battle might not be as good as Ren Tianxing and Zong Yuan, but she was much better than him. Looking down from above, she saw the entire battle situation. Many things that he couldn't notice due to his limited vision were things that Kong Yao knew like the back of her hand.
Being reminded by her, Hu Zhongyuan managed to turn the situation around several times.
However, when the contents of the talisman entered his eyes, Hu Zhongyuan opened his eyes and was slightly shocked.
Defend, accumulate strength, victory is near, prepare to chase …
Victory? Chase? Was this woman crazy? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
