After killing for an unknown period of time, the sky started to darken. The dark clouds parted as the moonlight shone down from the sky.
"Kill!" The officer roared as he slashed down. One of King Lu's cavalrymen raised his spear to block.
The officer had received a boost from his Dao arts. He felt that he was much stronger than before. However, as he slashed down, he felt that something wasn't right. His opponent's skin seemed much thicker than before.
"Damn it, there aren't many enemies left. Why does it feel like their strength has increased by so much!"
Just as he was thinking about this, a cold blade flashed across his throat. Huo Ziying flicked the blood off her blade and increased her speed. She ignored the cavalrymen and charged towards the Daoist official. At this point, her body started to change. She started to look like a beast. However, she was wearing a full set of armor and it wasn't very clear. All she could see was her murderous voice.
"You bunch of rats, let me kill you!"
"Kill!"
The moment she charged forward, her blade sliced through the air, causing blood to spurt out. She slowed down slightly, but several heads flew off.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Huo Ziying could feel the wind blowing against her face. She felt as though her soul was on fire. Behind the cavalrymen, there were many angry and panicked faces.
Huo Ziying's long saber slashed down, cutting apart the spears that were piercing towards her. Terrified and suppressed cries entered her ears, and then, they turned into screams of pain. A few more heads flew out, and Huo Ziying's body also had a few more wounds.
Without stopping, she continued to charge forward!
Huo Ziying was like a wolf pouncing on a herd of sheep. She slaughtered her way towards the Daoist official, tearing a huge gap in their formation. The soldiers at the front raised their spears, the soldiers on the left readied their bows, and the archers at the back drew their bows.
"Is this what it means to be able to take the head of the enemy's general?"
The Daoist official who was casting the spell looked at her with a grave expression, "Damn it. We've been buffed, and our strength is twice that of a normal cavalryman. How is it that King Lu's cavalry is still able to fight against us?"
Zhang Ling's eyes were cold, "I've heard that King Lu's army has been like this for a long time. They have many brave warriors, which is why they're able to win so many battles."
"But look, there aren't many people like that."
"Now that King Lu's cavalry isn't strong, our army doesn't need any reinforcements."
"We have to concentrate our strength to deal with these people and kill them in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if these people continue to break the formation, our cavalry will collapse."
"Listen to my command, cast the spell together. In order to survive, there must be sacrifices. Whoever dies from the backlash, I will apply for a pension for their family. After death, the imperial court will confer a title upon them."
"If anyone dares to disobey, I will kill their entire family and destroy their souls. Do you hear me?"
"Yes!" The Dao officials responded loudly. They naturally understood that even if it was for themselves, they had to risk their lives. If they were lucky, they could survive.
If they returned in defeat, those who fought to the death might be able to survive, but those who fled in the face of battle would be punished. Only death awaited them, and their families and souls would be harmed.
"Kill!" Dozens of Daoist officials charged at the Imperial Court's cavalrymen.
"Quicksand!"
Because there were so many Dao Arts on the battlefield, the soft ground started to cave in. The horses that were galloping screamed out in pain as they sank into the ground. Due to the momentum, the horses' legs were broken.
Huo Zi Ying shouted out in anger as he stomped his feet on the ground. Although he was wearing armor, he still managed to jump several meters away from the quicksand. He then heard an order, "Restrain!"
"Buzz!" A dense net appeared in the air, as Huo Zi Ying's body froze. He couldn't move at all. He then roared out in anger as the beasts around him roared and struggled to break free.
"Throw the spears!" The soldiers gave the order as more than ten spears fell from the sky. Huo Zi Ying shouted out in anger, "Kill!"
He brandished his blade several times, his face contorted in anger as he deflected the spears. At the same time, the Dao official cast another wave of spells, "Fatigue!"
Huo Zi Ying's entire body froze as he realized that he had lost all his strength. All he could feel was fatigue and exhaustion. He then saw multiple spears piercing through him, pinning him to the ground.
"Damn it!" At this point, Huo Zi Ying wasn't dead yet, and was still struggling. He then saw an officer with a similar expression on his face. He then slashed out with his blade, and Huo Zi Ying's head flew off.
"No!" Huo Zi Ying's head was still screaming out in pain, as though he was unwilling to die. His eyes were wide open as he fell to the ground.
The Dao official felt an excruciating pain. He had just cast a spell, and now he was suffering from a backlash. His vision turned black, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Next, kill him!"
"Don't stop. Kill them all. We can resist the backlash."
The Dao official's spell struck the cavalry, causing them to either be affected by the quicksand or weakened. Although the soldiers of the Imperial Court had lost their support, King Lu's cavalry was in an even worse state.
The soldiers of the Imperial Court slashed down as the scales of victory tilted in their favor. The Dao official who had been sacrificed suffered the backlash as well. One by one, King Lu's cavalrymen fell to the ground. Finally, King Lu's cavalrymen collapsed as they retreated.
"All of you, die." The cavalrymen of the Imperial Court had expressions of joy and ferocity on their faces. After such a long battle, they had finally won. What followed was promotion and riches. This was a path that they had fought for with their lives.
"Kill them all, don't let a single one of them escape."
"Their horses have traveled a long distance, and they've been through an intense battle. They're all tired, and won't be able to escape." The cavalry general had several wounds on his body, and his body was exhausted. His hands were trembling as he held onto his sword. At this point, he took the lead and chased after the Imperial Court.
Although he was escaping, he was quickly overtaken. In the blink of an eye, Ceng Jin Zhong was only left with a few cavalrymen, and all of them were injured.
Several screams rang out as the last few cavalrymen of Ceng Jin Zhong were killed. Only Ceng Jin Zhong was left.
At this point, Ceng Jin Zhong's hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in wounds. He had killed countless people, and never thought that he would be the one to die. He roared out in anger as he shouted, "Whoever can take my head, come at me!"
Three long spears pierced towards him, and Ceng Jin Zhong was about to block them when a wave of Dao energy landed on his body. His entire body was drained of energy, and he heard a shout, "Kill!"
The three long spears pierced through his body, and pierced deep into his body.
Ceng Jin Zhong screamed out in pain as he fell to the ground. He wasn't willing to give up, and used all his strength to struggle to stand up. He then heard another shout, "Kill!"
Another seven or eight spears pierced through, turning Ceng Jinzhong into a porcupine. His eyes were wide open, but he immediately stopped breathing.
The sounds of killing gradually died down. Zhang Ling looked on with a gloomy expression.
In this battle, they had surrounded King Lu's cavalrymen. A third of their own cavalrymen had perished, and even seven or eight of their Daoist officials had perished. King Lu's Imperial Qi and the Imperial Qi of the Imperial Court were of the same origin. King Lu's Imperial Qi was of the same type as the Imperial Qi of the Imperial Court.
Looking at the corpses of the Dao Officials, Zhang Ling's eyes turned red. These were the Dao Officials who had been in charge of transporting the treasures and weapons. Seeing their corpses lying in front of her, Zhang Ling's face sank, "Damn it, did Pei Zi Yun find out about this? Is he trying to kill me with a borrowed knife?"
"That's impossible. Only three people know about this. They don't know anything!" Just as she was deep in thought, Zhang Ling suddenly felt something. She turned around and saw a Daoist walking towards her.
"Huh? Dragon Qi backlash?" The young Daoist looked at the Dao Officials, "Indeed the Imperial Court. Even Daoists are willing to sacrifice themselves."
He then shook his head and sighed, "You guys are the elites of the Imperial Court. Although you can't live forever, you are the fangs and claws of the Imperial Court against us Daoists. Today is a good day to kill you all."
"Don't you always want to sacrifice yourselves for the country? For the sake of your Imperial Court, I shall fulfill your wish."
