Wave after wave of cheers could be heard from the Sky Bearing army; it was actually a wave of fighting spirit that had reached its boiling point! Such a situation was completely out of their expectations. They could not help but look at each other.
"Ling Xiao is indeed worthy of the title of 'Sky Bearing's God of War'. To be able to raise the morale of the soldiers in such a dire situation! Respect, respect! In this aspect, I am inferior! "A look of admiration flashed across the young man's eyes as he slowly spoke. His voice was clear and bright, as though it had a magnetism to it, making those who heard it feel comfortable.
"Ah ah, no matter how brilliant he is, he has still fallen into our trap! Today, Ling Xiao has nowhere to go and no reinforcements to back him up. It is already impossible for him to escape even if he has wings. Now, he is merely a trapped beast putting up a desperate fight. Brother Shui really has divine foresight! "Wei Chengping said with a hint of flattery.
"Do not be careless!" The youth looked coldly at the commotion in the darkness and said cautiously, "Ling Xiao has a good command over his troops, and all of them are giving their all. Even if we win today's battle, it will definitely be a miserable one! "
He suddenly waved his hand, and the person on the horse beside him leaned over. The youth asked calmly, "Are the Western Han troops in position?"
The person replied respectfully, "We received news an hour ago that the 100,000 strong Western Han troops have arrived at the designated area and are already in position."
A cruel smile appeared on the young man's face as he said, "Not bad. Pass down my orders, wait for daybreak and we will attack immediately! Surround three and block one, and leave a path of survival in the north-west direction. Try to eliminate Ling Xiao's greatest strength, and let him escape through the north-west direction. We will then give chase and kill him! "
Wei Chengping was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Brother Shui, why is that so? We definitely have the strength to take down Ling Xiao and his troops. Why do we have to let him escape? If the Western Han troops make a mistake, wouldn't we be releasing a tiger back into the mountains? "
The young man looked at Wei Chengping as if he was looking at an idiot. After thinking for a moment, he patiently explained, "Ling Xiao has been fighting like a cornered beast all along. His strength cannot be underestimated! Even if we can completely annihilate them here, I'm afraid we'll have to pay a huge price ourselves. Since there was no hope of escaping, wouldn't everyone fight to the death? His 70,000 strong army, if they fight to the death, will be able to wipe out more than 100,000 of our military strength! "
"However, if we deliberately leave an opening for them to escape, it will greatly reduce their morale to fight to the death! Furthermore, there are still Western Han troops lying in ambush over there. If we chase Ling Xiao over, it will be a perfect opportunity for the two sides to engage in a dogfight. According to my estimations, we will be able to wipe out at least half of the hundred thousand Western Han troops! At that time, we will catch up and kill Ling Xiao in one fell swoop! Without an elite like Ling Xiao, Sky Bearing can only follow our lead in the future. As for the Western Han, hehe, for such a small country like Western Han, with such a huge loss, it will definitely be difficult for them to move forward. At the very least, they will not be a threat to the continent for the next ten years! At that time, they will be at our mercy. At the same time, we will be able to preserve a large portion of our strength to prepare for the next step of conquering the continent. "
The young man laughed arrogantly, "This is the reason why I dragged it out until now even though I could have taken down Ling Xiao's troops long ago! Brother Wei, you understand now! "
"Brother Shui is wise!" Wei Chengping came to a realization and cupped his hands in admiration. A delighted smile then appeared on his face, "If that's the case, we will have a greater chance of conquering the continent!"
A trace of mockery flashed past the young man's eyes as he said, "That's right! If that's the case, Brother Wei will be able to rule Heavenly Star a few years earlier! "
Wei ChengPing laughed complacently. He did not forget to compliment the young man, "However, Brother Shui's divine bird is truly extraordinary. It is actually able to seal off the skies and intercept all of Ling Xiao's messages. This Chengping is truly amazed!"
The young man smiled and said arrogantly, "With the eight golden eagles that I trained strictly to seal off the skies, it would be a joke if they were still able to send out any messages!"
As he said that, his expression turned serious, "However, the messenger in Ling Xiao's army was obviously prepared for this. The message was actually written in a special language. Even if we managed to intercept the message, it would not be of any use. We do not know what was written on it. The person who set up the message is truly a great talent! If there is a chance, I will definitely meet him! "
As he said that, he looked towards the flickering lights in the distance, "If we are able to obtain such a method of transmission and interpretation, we will be like a tiger that has grown wings and the world will be in our hands!"
Wei Chengping said respectfully, "Brother Shui is truly far-sighted and has great foresight."
The young man smiled and turned his head away. No one noticed that at this moment, a look of disgust and impatience flashed past his eyes. Towards the Crown Prince of the Northern Wei beside him, he was filled with disdain. Such a person who only knows how to bootlick could actually become the Crown Prince of an empire? He actually has the ambition to rule the world? This is truly inconceivable!
A faint light could be seen from the east!
The sun had already risen and dawn had arrived!
The young man waved the blood-red flag in his hand forward! His eyes were as cold as ice as he shouted, "Attack!"
Battle cries could be heard as the troops from all directions charged towards the center of the Sky Bearing army like a tidal wave! The sound of hooves was like thunder and the entire earth seemed to tremble!
Fresh blood splattered all over the ground! It was as though a field of azaleas had suddenly bloomed!
In the courtyard of the Ling House.
Ling Tian flipped through the batch of 'special' weapons and casually picked up a sheathed long saber and unsheathed it. The body of the saber was like a puddle of clear water with cloud patterns shining brightly. All the spectators could feel a wave of cold air blowing towards them!
"Good saber!" Ling Jian praised!
Unknowingly, the bruises on his face had disappeared without a trace, revealing his handsome and cold face once again. It was obvious that the effects of the Great Cyclic Pellet were shocking. Not only did it greatly increase one's cultivation, it also had other miraculous effects!
At the same time, Ling Chi, Ling Feng and the other four had also consumed the Great Cyclic Pellet. All of them were filled with energy and their auras were as stable as mountains. As compared to when they were Flying, everyone around them could feel a huge change!
This was especially so for Ling Chi. Among the five of them, he had the greatest improvement. He was the most handsome of the five little ones. His "pretty boy" was actually faintly glowing with a divine light, and his eyes were occasionally emitting bits of divine light. This brat had actually broken through to the sixth level of his Divine Shocking Dragon Formula! Compared to Ling Jian who had already reached the seventh level, he was only one level behind. Out of the four of them, Ling Dian, who had the lowest cultivation, had also reached the fourth level. As for Ling Feng, Ling Yun and Ling Lei, they were all at the fifth level!
The strength of the entire First Pavilion had undergone a complete transformation!
Ling Chi even had a feeling that even if he were to face Yu ManTian alone, he would still have the confidence to defeat him! Of course, this was only Ling Chi's feeling. However, with the rapid increase in their strength, these few fellows were filled with confidence! Apart from Ling Tian, Ling Jian, and Ling Chen who were deeply rooted in their hearts, even if they were to meet the mysterious green-robed man, the five of them would still have the guts to fight him one on one!
After consuming the Great Cyclic Pellet, the five of them seemed to have improved the most. However, the one who improved the most was Ling Jian whose aura had become closer to that of an ordinary person. One has to know that the Divine Shocking Dragon Formula would become harder to cultivate in the future. Ling Jian had received the teachings of Ling Tian and his cultivation was far superior to that of an ordinary person. However, he rarely retracted his aura and after a long period of time, his aura had finally merged with his cold killing intent, creating the cold killing god of the First Pavilion. During the process of consuming the Great Cyclic Pellet, Ling Jian had suffered the most pain but the effects were also the most obvious. In terms of effects, he was only slightly inferior to Ling Chen. His aura had already reached the realm of being restrained and as long as he was able to stabilize this realm, his cold aura would turn cold and he wouldn't be able to scare anyone if he were to hide in a crowd.
On the other hand, the five of them had yet to reach the realm of purity. Now that they had consumed the Great Cyclic Pellet, they appeared to be Flying in high spirits. However, that was only on the surface. At this point in time, their cultivation had yet to truly return to their own. Only after a period of tempering would they be able to stabilize their cultivation!
"Is it only a good blade?" Ling Tian's lips curled up slightly. His left hand gripped the hilt of the blade while his right hand gripped the tip of the blade. With a slight tug, the shiny steel blade slowly bent into a crescent shape until its head and tail were joined together! In the process of bending, there wasn't the slightest bit of teeth-numbing cracking sound. Just the flexibility of this saber was already much better than ordinary sabers and swords.
His fingers loosened and the steel blade bounced back, returning to its original state. Instantly, everyone's eyes flashed with a cold light!
"Indeed not bad!" Ling Tian nodded his head approvingly. Looking at the skinny youth who had sent the blade over, he asked, "Ling Five, how many of these steel blades have you produced this time?"
Ling Five bowed respectfully and replied, "Reporting to young master. There are five hundred of these high grade steel blades and three thousand six hundred inferior grade steel blades. There are a thousand high grade swords and five thousand inferior grade swords! Even though they are inferior grade swords, they are still better than the high grade swords made by ordinary blacksmiths. Adding up the number of swords sent over last time, it is already enough to equip twenty thousand elite soldiers! " Pausing for a moment, Ling Five seemed to be counting the number of swords in his heart before continuing, "As for the other weapons, there are two hundred long hilted sabers, a hundred iron spears, sixteen thousand four hundred daggers, seven thousand bows, and a hundred thousand arrows! Furthermore, the green dragon blade that young master specially requested has also been completed. It is eighteen feet long and uses twenty jin of black iron and a hundred jin of a secret alloy as the main material. Thus, after the blade is completed, it weighs a hundred and twenty-four jin! Other than young master, no one else would be able to use it! "
Ling Tian silently calculated and said with gratification, "Thank you for your hard work. I am very satisfied."
A trace of excitement could be seen on Ling Five's face. 'I'm very satisfied' could be said to be Ling Tian's highest praise. However, he forcefully suppressed it and said with guilt, "However, the black iron sword has yet to be fully refined. At the very least, we will have to wait for another two days."
Ling Tian nodded his head in satisfaction and consoled, "It is already not bad! The Black Iron that all the blacksmiths in the world are helpless against is so obedient in your hands. Ling Five, you should be proud of yourself. " (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
