The sky was bright, but the entire jungle seemed to be in a deep slumber. Only the chirping of birds could let people know that a new day had arrived.
Zhuang Shaoyu and Beiming Jie once again fell into a deep slumber after taking the medicine. Even a god's body would need a few days of rest to heal, let alone a broken sternum. They would probably need at least three to five days to fight again.
A faint wisp of green smoke rose. There was no one around, and it was quiet.
Lin Muyu went back to the tent to rest after teaching Liu Buyi some mental cultivation methods. She calmed her mind, and her mind was as still as a mirror. The divine power in her energy sea circulated automatically. Lin Muyu didn't need to use the Spirit Cultivation Art anymore, and the art could refine the supreme divine power in her body on its own.
…
About thirty meters away, Shang Qian's tent was very quiet. Inside the tent, Shang Qian was holding a cup of tea and sitting there quietly like a virgin. Chen Hang sat cross-legged beside her with a serious expression.
"Uncle Chen, what do you think of that kid?"
"Which kid, Zhuang Shaoyu?" Chen Hang asked with a smile.
"How could it be?" Shang Qian shook her head. "Although Zhuang Shaoyu's talent is extraordinary and his strength is astonishing, he is arrogant and prideful. His mental state and cultivation are seriously incompatible with his own cultivation. He is destined to suffer. I'm talking about someone else, someone whose mental state and strength are unfathomable."
"You're talking about the kid that Miss Si Kongyao favors, right?"
"That's right, that's him. Uncle Chen has seen countless people. What do you think of this person? "
Chen Hang took a deep breath. "Miss, forgive me for being blunt. This person's mental state and cultivation are above Zhuang Shaoyu's."
"Above Zhuang Shaoyu?"
Shang Qian was a little shocked. "Zhuang Shaoyu is known as the number one among the younger generation in the Tianji Empire …"
"So what if he's the number one? There's always someone better than you out there. " Chen Hang said confidently, "I saw the whole process of that kid killing the Demon Venerable. He only used 70% of his strength at most to kill a Demon Venerable. Moreover, his moves were exquisite and domineering. More importantly, he didn't just rely on his strength …"
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"I don't know if First Miss noticed, but when that kid was fighting with the Demon Venerable, the timing and angle of his attack happened to be when the Demon Venerable was at its weakest. It's not that his strength is absolutely above the Demon Venerable, but his wisdom is far above the Demon Venerable, and he knows how to attack the Demon Venerable's weakness. This is also the reason why he could easily kill the Demon Venerable, and Beiming Jie was seriously injured."
"Who on earth is he?" Shang Qian's beautiful brows knit together lightly as she said, "Could it be someone from the Heavenjue Empire or the Darkstone Empire? In my memory, there's no such person in the Tianji Empire or the Tianji Sect."
"Anything is possible."
Chen Hang narrowed his eyes. "In short, this is a person that we shouldn't lose if we can rope in. Otherwise, Miss Si Kongyao wouldn't treat him with such respect."
"Hmph, that little girl, Yao," Shang Qian pouted, "I think she likes that guy, or else she wouldn't be so abnormal."
Chen Hang couldn't help but laugh, "That kid is hidden deep and handsome, of course he can win the hearts of girls. First Miss, don't tell me you don't like him at all?"
Shang Qian smiled, and her eyes were filled with endless arrogance. She said, "Love between a man and a woman is but a mortal matter. What I want is to control everything, not give up everything for one person."
"Good."
Chen Hang had a look of admiration. "This is Shang Xun's daughter, this is the granddaughter of the Saint Martial God, Lord Zhang Cheng. This is the kind of breadth of mind and spirit we need. I think … First Miss will not lose to any man in the future, and Lord Zhang Cheng's legacy is destined to be inherited by you."
"Hmph, Uncle Chen, you don't have to flatter me." The corner of Shang Qian's mouth curled up, and her beautiful smile was so captivating. She said, "My age is similar to Yao's, but my strength is far inferior to hers. I'm afraid that in terms of martial arts cultivation, I will never be able to catch up to Yao's realm in my lifetime. However, the future isn't decided by one's fists."
"Yes …" Chen Hang had a smile on his face. "Just as First Miss said, this continent is going to change soon … The spiritual mountains of the Immortal Realm are colliding, and the planes are merging. Now, the world is no longer just the Celestial Pole Mainland. There is also the Shattered Cauldron Realm Mainland across the sea. His Majesty sent a secret letter half a month ago, and all people above the level of Saint Martial Warrior have to obey orders and join the army of the Shattered Cauldron Realm to serve the country.
"Hmph …" Shang Qian smiled playfully, and said, "This is why I said that the future isn't decided by strength alone. We know very little about the Shattered Cauldron Realm. If we use our weapons without authorization, I'm afraid that we won't necessarily get a vast territory, but the people of the Tianji Empire will be plunged into misery and suffering. If His Majesty wants to defeat the Qin Empire of the Shattered Cauldron Realm by himself, I'm afraid it's like a fool's dream."
Chen Hang said faintly, "His Majesty the Saint Emperor is wise. He has long decided to send only half of the army of the Tianji Empire to the Shattered Cauldron Realm, and the rest of the army will stay at the border to prevent possible sneak attacks from Tian Jue and Hei Shi."
"I heard that the Qin Empire has two princes who are skilled in both civil and military affairs. One is Lin Muyu, and the other is Feng Jixing. Both of them are appointed ministers to manage the government affairs. Not only are they brave and good at fighting, but they are also resourceful." Shang Qian's eyes flickered, and she said, "I hope our Majesty doesn't underestimate his opponents. Otherwise, he will definitely suffer under the attack of Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing."
"Yes."
Chen Hang nodded, and said, "If the Tianji Empire really launches an expedition, do you think Lord Zhang Cheng will take the lead?"
"I don't know. Grandpa hasn't paid much attention to military affairs recently, and he's old, so he doesn't want to get involved in disputes anymore. I guess if they really launch an expedition, the most likely one to take the lead would still be Marshal Beiming Huan. He is in the prime of his life, and his military achievements are outstanding. If he can defeat the Qin Empire and unify the Shattered Cauldron Realm, he will be the only famous general in the Tianji Empire for tens of thousands of years."
As she spoke, Shang Qian smiled, and said, "Which of these senior generals doesn't covet the empty title of a famous general?"
"Yes, but it's a pity that you're a girl. Otherwise, you would at least be a candidate for a general."
"Humph, there will be a chance. I'll wait for the day when His Majesty summons me!"
"…"
…
Thousands of miles away, a fierce battle was taking place on the snowy Eight Wasteland. The violent sound of horse hooves shook the entire snowfield. The cavalrymen of the Longdan Army Camp, dressed in gray and white armor, held up the purple flag and lances, and confronted the last elite troops of the Devil Race.
"Dong, dong, dong …"
The war drums sounded hurriedly. Nearly 100,000 elite cavalrymen of the Longdan Army Camp turned over and mounted their horses together.
Holding his sword, Wei Chou spurred his horse to gallop in front of the formation. He raised his sword high, and shouted, "For the Female Empress Qin Yin! For the Qin Empire! For the sake of our homeland no longer being trampled by demons, for the prosperity of the earth, and for the peace of the people, we must win this battle! "
Everyone raised their weapons and let out a roar that shook the heavens, "We will win! Victory! Victory! "
Wei Chou slowly turned his horse around and stood at the forefront of the whole formation. Staring at the formation of the Devil Race in the distance with his clear eyes, he raised his sword high and shouted, "Attack!"
The formation moved slowly, and soon entered a galloping speed, shaking the heaven and earth!
…
In the Devil Race's camp, a simple earthen wall was made into an indestructible city by ice and snow. On the wall, the man in a golden robe was the emperor of the Devil Race — — Demon Emperor Feng Yuan. Beside him were two marshals of the Devil Race. One was QianFeng, and the other was Shen Baichuan. Below the city, countless black cavalrymen were the last trump card of the Devil Race — the 100,000 elite cavalrymen of the Nannan Family, a cavalry regiment composed of high-level demons. It was said that even the Armor Demon Army was no match for them.
"Can we win?"
Demon Emperor's eyes were still full of vicissitudes, and he said, "If we lose this battle, there will be no place for our God Race to live on the whole continent. We will lose our home and everything."
"Your Majesty, please don't worry!"
Shen Baichuan cupped his fists and said, "The 100,000 cavalrymen of the Nannan Family are the strongest in the world. They will not lose to the Dragon Courage Army. Hmph, no matter how good Wei Chou is, he can't make up for the gap in military strength and fighting strength."
QianFeng, who was wearing a silver marshal's robe, was silent. He just reached out and brushed off the thick layer of snow on his shoulder.
"Marshal QianFeng, what do you think?" Feng Yuan asked indifferently.
QianFeng nodded and said, "Father, Wei Chou's strategy was inherited from Lin Muyu, and he has always been experienced in military strategy. Moreover, since the battle at the Tongtian Gorge, Wei Chou has always advocated the strategy of advancing step by step, and never taking risks. But now, the Longdan Army Camp has actually put up a formation to fight against our cavalry. I think … it's not that simple."
"Marshal QianFeng is worrying too much," Shen Baichuan smiled coldly. "Although the soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp are battle-hardened, they are still humans after all. Their physique and strength cannot be compared to the Protoss. Moreover, we are using the fine horses of the Northern Desert, while the Longdan Army Camp uses mostly mixed warhorses. Their leg strength and charging power are far inferior. Moreover …"
Shen Baichuan's eyes turned cold. "Our Winged Men Legion has been closely monitoring from the sky. Wei Chou did not bring a single magic crystal cannon out of the Tongtian Gorge. As long as he does not bring any magic crystal cannon, what is there to fear from the Longdan Army Camp? I think Marshal QianFeng has been scared out of his wits by the Longdan Army Camp. "
"I hope so!"
QianFeng did not argue. He said, "Father, I have arranged for guards and carriages to escort His Highness Ning 'er and Her Highness Jing' er out of the Eight Wastelands. Once the Protoss are defeated, we will retreat to the north and enter the Wildlands to find a new home."
Feng Yuan's expression was lonely. He said somewhat impatiently, "Alright, just arrange it."
…
Amidst the sound of hooves, the two strongest cavalry regiments in the Shattered Cauldron Realm were less than a hundred meters away from each other. Wei Chou suddenly raised a blue flag and shouted, "Magic Crystal Crossbow, fire!"
The elite soldiers in the front row of the Longdan Army Camp each took out a crossbow from a black cloth bag on the back of their horses. The crossbow was made of pure steel, but it was very different from ordinary crossbow bolts. The arrow they used was actually an arrow with a light blue luster. It was a crossbow bolt that was filled with magic crystals. There was also a small crystal detonator tied to the center of the arrow!
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh …"
The Magic Crystal Crossbow bolts flew with the wind. In the blink of an eye, there were continuous explosions. The power of the Magic Crystal Crossbow bolts could only reach three to five meters away. However, when scattered, the power produced by the explosion of thousands of Magic Crystal Crossbow bolts was destructive. Small mushroom clouds soared into the sky. The hundred thousand Devil Cavalry were defeated even before the battle began!
