At this moment, on the icy surface of the Black Tortoise Furious River, numerous ice holes appeared one after another, piercing through a three zhang thick layer of ice. In the middle of the layer of ice, cracks that resembled a spider web could be seen.
In just a few breaths' time, thousands of Assassination Guild soldiers had already fallen into the Black Tortoise Fury River and were swallowed by the river water.
Incessant explosions resounded in the Black Tortoise Fury River.
With each explosion, thick pillars of water spewed out from the holes that pierced through the ice layer.
Within the water pillars were countless minced meat and blood, as well as the corpses of the Assassination Guild soldiers.
Zhang Xueyu stood in front of a huge ice hole. What appeared in the ice hole was unforgettable to her.
"Damned bastard!" Zhang Xueyu roared at the sky, her voice filled with rage.
Beneath the ice hole, soldiers from the north appeared one after another in the Black Tortoise Fury River.
These northern region soldiers did not have any weapons. They held their breaths, lying in ambush beneath the ice layer.
At this moment, they were detonating the immortal qi in their bodies one after another.
And these northern region soldiers were members of Mount Longhu's Dragon Squad and Tiger Squad.
Zhong Shudao's plan was to leave behind a group of death soldiers to lie in ambush in the Black Tortoise Fury River, then use the thick ice layer to conceal the figures of the soldiers in the Black Tortoise Fury River.
And with this plan, those left behind were all brave warriors who would die for sure.
A single person's self-detonation might not have much of an impact on the Assassination Guild's army.
But the high temperature and destructive power produced by the self-detonation of a hundred thousand people was enough to evaporate the entire Black Tortoise Fury River, then blast it into a huge abyss.
Zhang Xueyu's face alternated between green and white. She deeply regretted the decision she had just made.
Assassin number one stood beside the ice hole, looking at the northern region soldiers beneath the ice layer. He was silent, his brows tightly furrowed.
This was the second time he had seen such a large number of people self-detonating. Since when did a cultivator become so worthless that they could give up their lives so easily?
Five days ago, the scene of a hundred thousand soldiers self-detonating at the same time in the central mountain range was still vivid in his mind. He could not forget it for a long time.
Who would have thought that in just five days, such a terrifying number of death soldiers would be left behind?
"Retreat, retreat!" Zhang Xueyu did not have much time to think and immediately gave the order to retreat.
Just as she finished speaking, the ice she was standing on suddenly exploded with a loud bang.
Ice cubes mixed with blood splattered everywhere.
Zhang Xueyu transformed into a group of Wasp and flew towards the riverside.
Boom!
A series of explosions finally occurred. The 100,000 Northern Region soldiers self-destructed for a full two hours.
Huge waves of air accompanied by terrifying aftershocks shook the entire land. Even the land beside the river had countless cracks. One could imagine how terrifying the self-destruction of 100,000 people was.
The height of the river was getting lower and lower, and the temperature of the explosion had reached more than five thousand degrees.
This temperature of over 5,000 degrees Celsius was enough to instantly burn a person into ashes.
All of the water in the Black Tortoise Fury River evaporated. The Black Tortoise Fury River, which was originally only a hundred meters deep, was now five hundred meters deep. The Black Tortoise Fury River had turned into a Black Tortoise Cliff.
No one knew how long the sparks lasted, but the dark red light of the fire shone on everyone by the river.
Everyone's face was filled with fear. They did not understand how the Northern Region people could come up with something like this so many times.
Zhang Xueyu stood at the front, her face dark.
At the bottom of the Black Tortoise Fury River, countless corpses were like ants.
These corpses had been roasted into charcoal, emitting a nauseating smell.
Assassin Number One's eyes were dull. When he left the river, he saw the expression of a Northern Region soldier before he died.
That soldier was still smiling before he self-destructed. There was not the slightest hint of fear on his face. What kind of courage did it take to make such a choice?
After a long time, Assassin Number One sneered, "Lord Zhang, the President and the others are almost here."
Another three hundred thousand soldiers were killed or injured!
Assassin Number One did not understand how important the Northern Region was to this group of soldiers, to be able to turn them into such terrifying monsters.
Once again, the Northern Region relied on 100,000 soldiers to kill more than 300,000 Assassination Society soldiers.
…
Northern Region Army
Zhong Shudao and Long Chenfeng led the rest of the Northern Region Army, advancing at full speed without stopping.
Although everyone's faces were filled with exhaustion, they all lowered their heads, pursed their lips, and gritted their teeth as they persevered.
When they were about to reach the Eastern Mountain Range, a series of earth-shattering explosions came from the distance behind them.
When they heard these explosions, everyone tacitly stopped running for their lives.
Everyone gritted their teeth and uncontrollably clenched their fists.
They all knew very well what the successive explosions meant.
This was their comrades buying time for them to escape. One explosion meant one life, and a hundred thousand explosions meant that all their comrades were dead.
"Brothers, have a safe journey." Long Woo-seok sat on the back of the green dragon. When he heard the explosions, he dismounted with the help of Long Chenfeng.
Long Woo-seok took out a bottle of wine. His face was deathly pale as he cupped his fists at the Black Tortoise Nujiang. Then, he took a sip of wine and poured the rest on the ground.
"I, Long Woo-seok, have taken your lives in this life. In my next life, I will definitely return it to you!" Even a powerhouse like Long Woo-seok couldn't help but feel his eyes redden.
The Dragon Team and the Tiger Team were the most loyal disciples of Longhu Mountain.
Every disciple of Longhu Mountain viewed joining the Dragon Team and the Tiger Team as an honor. However, on the first day they joined, Long Chenfeng and Hu Heixin had told them that as long as they joined the Dragon Team and the Tiger Team, their lives would belong to Longhu Mountain and not them.
"Have a safe journey!" Zhong Shudao stood in the distance and bowed three times.
He was the one who had thought of this plan, and it was because of him that these 100,000 soldiers had died.
"This is the time our brothers exchanged for us with their lives!"
"I know that everyone is tired after days of running!"
"I also know that you don't want to run for your lives. You want to fight the Assassins."
"However, now is not the time." Long Woo-seok used the last bit of his strength to shout.
"100,000 brothers of the four sects!"
"100,000 brothers of the Dragon Team and the Tiger Team!"
"They are using their lives to protect us!"
"It is to protect our homeland!"
"The Northern Region is our homeland!"
"Everyone, please hold on. When we return to the Northern Region, we will kill all these bastards from the Assassins!"
