The first battle of the Dong Fu Nation's invasion of Zishan Prefecture ended in a crushing defeat.
The lives of more than forty thousand soldiers of the Dongfu Nation were lost in Eastern Mountain City. Prince Jinshan's head was still hanging on the city walls, proving the Dongfu Nation's failure and humiliation.
The loss of an individual duel had a limited impact on morale, but a loss in a direct battle was a fatal blow to morale.
West Wind and Zichuan Legions were still fine, but Dongxuan and Liuchuan Legions had suffered a crushing defeat. Their morale was low, so after the Dongfu Nation's army retreated, they did not organize another attack.
There was a brief moment of peace in the battle.
Eastern Mountain City, archery range.
Ye Xing was practicing archery with Piercing Heaven Bow in hand.
He had already scanned the Gale Arrow Incantation in his super brain and practiced it many times. All he lacked was practice.
The Gale Arrow Technique was a high-grade martial skill. It relied on the power of the wind to increase the speed and power of the arrow.
If he could cultivate the Gale Arrow Spell to perfection, there was a slight chance that he could comprehend the Wind Force, and the Gale Arrow Spell that fused with the Wind Force was not far from the Transformative Stage.
Ye Xing had already comprehended a trace of wind force. Cultivating the Gale Arrow Technique could be said to be twice the result with half the effort. In a short few days, his attainments soared and reached the Perfection Stage.
Ye Xing's mastery of the Gale Arrow Technique combined with the Wind Force was not far from the Transcendent Realm. The reason why he had not reached the Transcendent Realm was because he lacked a little bit of comprehension.
However, this level of comprehension was something that could only be achieved in a real battle.
This caused Ye Xing to look forward to the next attack of the Dong Fu Kingdom's army. Only by experiencing a real battle could one's archery truly reach the acme of perfection.
Zishan Hou said that once Ye Xing mastered the Gale Arrow Incantation, he would teach Ye Xing the secret art related to archery. Ye Xing did not know what realm Zishan Hou meant by mastery. Was it the Perfection Stage or the Transcendent Realm?
If it was the Perfection Stage, it would be too easy for Ye Xing. Therefore, Ye Xing guessed that it should be the Transcendent Realm. Therefore, he planned to find Zishan Hou after reaching the Transcendent Realm.
"Ye Xing, your archery skills are getting better."
Just as Ye Xing shot an arrow and the arrow hit the bullseye two thousand paces away in the blink of an eye, Wei Qingxuan ran over from a distance.
The Gale Arrow Incantation had reached the Perfection Stage. Using the Piercing Heaven Bow with five cauldrons of strength, the power and speed of the arrow shot by Ye Xing far surpassed the arrow shot by the Dragon Tendon Bow a few days ago. At its peak, the range had almost doubled, reaching a distance of two thousand steps.
Two thousand steps, one thousand meters, no less than two li away, Ye Xing could accurately hit the bullseye. In other words, he could accurately shoot through the enemy's throat with one arrow.
In his opinion, only the current him was worthy of the title of a godly archer. Previously, he could not be considered one.
"Qingxuan, why are you here?" Ye Xing put away his bow and turned to look at Wei Qingxuan.
Wei Qingxuan quickly ran over and said: "Something happened, the battle is about to start again."
Ye Xing was startled and said in surprise: "They are going to attack again? Why is there no movement at all? "
Wei Qingxuan said: "This time it is not a siege. The people of Dong Fu are too despicable. Their army was stationed in the camp and did not move. Instead, they sent out a small team and massacred several small towns nearby."
Ye Xing was immediately startled. Green Leaf Village was only a hundred li away from Dong Shan City. It was not too far.
In Green Leaf Village, the strongest martial artist was only at the fifth stage of the Martial Path. Any Martial Dao Master could easily crush a family.
If a Martial Dao Master led a small team and massacred a small town, they indeed had the strength to do so.
But the problem was that when the two armies fought, the Dong Fu army did not come to fight with the Luo Xing army. Instead, they attacked the small towns nearby. Moreover, their methods were cruel and carried out massacring. This was truly too despicable.
Ye Xing's eyes revealed an elite cold aura that contained a terrifying killing intent: "Damn bastards, which small towns did they attack? Is Green Leaf Village included?"
Wei Qingxuan said: "Currently, we have received news that Thousand Harmony Village, Wu Tu Village, Guan Bao Village and Feng Ling Village were attacked. The rest is still unclear. Ye Xing, the Dong Fu army has not moved yet. Dong Shan City needs to be constantly defended. Regarding the enemy troops that infiltrated the rear, we can only send out a small team to kill them. I came to find you because I want to form a team with you. These Dong Fu people are too despicable, we must completely wipe out the enemy troops that infiltrated the rear."
The border between Zishan County and the Dong Fu Country extended for a hundred li. It was completely possible for a small team from the Dong Fu Country to infiltrate Zishan County and appear behind Dong Shan City. However, as long as Dong Shan City was not taken down, the main forces of the Dong Fu Country would not dare to take a single step into Zishan County. No one wanted to have such a powerful army behind them that could attack at any time.
Therefore, the Dong Fu Country could only send a small team to harass Zishan County. Their goal was very obvious. They wanted to make the Dong Shan City's garrison split into small teams to fight. This way, the battle between the two sides would continue. However, the Dong Fu Country's army would not have to attack the city. They wanted to use the small teams to slowly erode the strength of the Luo Xing army.
Moreover, the small teams could also weaken Ye Xing's role as a godly archer. If they directly attacked the city, with Ye Xing's powerful archery skills, the centurions and chiliarchs would not be able to resist at all. They would not be able to kill Ye Xing at all.
Ye Xing's eyes flashed with a terrifying light. He said: "These Dong Fu dogs, other than looking like humans, they don't deserve to be called humans. Alright, Qingxuan, let's form a small team and kill these inhumane bastards."
Wei Qingxuan said: "There are a few people who also want to fight. Let's go together."
… …
When Ye Xing returned to the residence of the Zishan Academy's members, he heard a wave of sorrowful cries:
"My brothers, my parents, my relatives and friends, my clansmen —! Dong Fu dogs, if I don't kill you all, I swear I'm not a human, I swear I'm not a human! "
Wei Qingxuan whispered to Ye Xing: "This is Wan Xingliang, he's from Wanhe Town. He's the same as you, from a small town's branch family to the main family in the city. Then he stood out from the main family and entered the Zishan Academy. Although he's only in the ordinary class, he's already a seventh-layer Grandmaster in just three years. He's the number one in the ordinary advanced class."
Ye Xing's heart tightened. Although he's not Ye Xing from the Yeh family in Qingye Village, Qingye Village is still the place where he started in the Star Continent. He can't allow others to destroy it.
No matter what, he definitely doesn't want to be like Wan Xingliang, whose entire family was massacred. Ye Xing clenched his fists, swearing to kill all the Dong Fu dogs that infiltrated the rear.
Wei Qingxuan said: "Next to Wan Xingliang are Yang Yun and Lu Chen. They're both students of the gifted class, peak seventh-layer. They have some friendship with Wan Xingliang and want to kill the Dong Fu dogs together."
Ye Xing nodded: "Alright, then let's go together. We won't stop until we kill all the Dong Fu dogs behind us!"
"We won't stop!"
"We won't stop!"
… …
The others clenched their fists and spoke out.
Ye Xing, Wei Qingxuan, Wan Xingliang, Yang Yun, and Lu Chen reported to Vice Principal Wu Yunshan. They rode on five demonic horses and left from Eastern Mountain City's West Gate, beginning their journey to hunt down the Dong Fu army behind them.
They weren't the only team that hunted down the Dong Fu army, nor were they the strongest team. However, they were definitely the most efficient team.
This was because Ye Xing was in the team. He could see far and see things that others couldn't. He had an advantage that others didn't have when it came to hunting down or escaping from a small team.
Ye Xing's team of five first arrived at Wanhe Village. The ground was filled with corpses and blood flowed like a river. Even Eastern Mountain City had received the news. The Dong Fu army had obviously left long ago. Ye Xing's team of five came here to scout for information.
Ye Xing wanted to find out where the troops that had massacred Wanhe Town had gone.
"Father … … Mother … … Sister … …!"
"Ah — —! Ah — — —! "
… …
Wan Xingliang urged his horse to rush to the Wan family's mansion. Looking at the corpses of his family, his face was covered in tears. He let out angry, sorrowful, and murderous roars.
Ye Xing ran around Wanhe Village. Under the super brain's scan, he could clearly see things that others couldn't see. From the hard stone road, he saw the traces of the murderer's departure.
The Dong Fu army that massacred Wanhe Village was also riding demonic horses. There were about twenty of them, and they were heading north to a mountainous area.
Ye Xing immediately led the other four to chase after them. At this moment, killing the enemy was more important. Even if Wan Xingliang was heartbroken, when he knew that Ye Xing had found the traces of the murderer's departure, he instantly stopped grieving and immediately embarked on the journey to hunt down the murderer.
The demonic horses' footprints on the stone road were invisible to the naked eye. However, when they reached the mountain road, they were clearly visible. Even the other four could see very clearly that there were indeed many demonic horse footprints. Recently, there were quite a number of riders that had passed by here.
On the mountain road, there weren't always horse footprints. Once they reached the hard ground, the footprints would be invisible to the naked eye. However, with Ye Xing around, no traces could escape his eyes.
Ye Xing's group of five chased for more than twenty li. Finally, when they crossed a mountain ridge, Ye Xing saw the Dong Fu army.
In a small valley seven to eight li away, Ye Xing could only see a dozen people because his vision was blocked. However, there were a total of twenty-two demonic horses at the side.
Seeing the Dong Fu army, Ye Xing's eyes immediately burned with a terrifying flame. Among the dozen people he saw, not all of them were Dong Fu army soldiers. There were also two naked women who were being ravaged by a few Dong Fu army soldiers.
"They are in front, a total of twenty-two riders. Let's go … kill these Dong Fu dogs!"
Ye Xing gritted his teeth and shouted coldly. He immediately increased his speed and took the lead.
"Kill these Dong Fu dogs!"
Wan Xingliang's eyes suddenly glowed red. He was the second to rush out. Wei Qingxuan and the other two immediately followed.
Whoosh — —
The arrow shot by the Gale Arrow Technique was not only fast but also like a gust of wind. It was silent, unlike the arrow shot by the Whirlwind Arrow Technique which made a sound.
In an instant, on the hillside beside the valley, an arrow pierced through the throat of a sixth level martial artist who was on sentry duty. He didn't even know what happened and died instantly.
