Chapter 384: Sudden Battle(I)
Chen Ming sat on his roc in silence, Lu Qingxuan is a bit on the violent side. That’s what you get from a freak with a slightly skewed skill tree.
Just like our dear Immortal Master Chen, who stood sideways on his mount.
Lu Qingxuan broke through every and any obstacles all the way to Devil Gate Star. Once on the last path to immortality, Lu Qingxuan was a hint more reticent. What came next was the Heavenly Court’s main army.
Charging by his onesies would probably end in his death.
Lu Qingxuan was no fool, but an assassin, a mounted assassin at that.
He looked over his shoulder, Oh, right. What about Faceless’ army?
Uh, did I throw ’em off?
It makes no sense. I was the one who punched through every wall and all they had to do was follow. They can’t even keep up?
This is stranger than fiction!
All I can do is wait, I guess.
It took a full day for the army to gaze upon the towering figure of Lu Qingxuan in front of the path to Devil Gate Star. This path to immortality wasn’t sealed like the rest, with the key neither in Heavenly Court nor Jade Lake’s hands.
Neither of them was willing to leave it in the other’s control.
Since Sire Faceless said to wipe out Heavenly Court, then that’s what I’ll do!
Lu Qingxuan hailed, “Sire Faceless entrusted us a great mission. Are we to let Sire Faceless believe we are useless? Men, charge with me into trampling Heavenly Court!”
It had to be said, this guy’s head wasn’t screwed on right but, as a military asset, he had his worth. His words stirred their hearts.
Lu Qingxuan spurred his horse to join the ranks of immortal beasts, charging in unison. The Heavenly Court garrison felt the earth rumbling. The Heavenly Court’s watch on the path to immortality saw the stampede of immortal beasts coming out of the path like a raging tempest!
“A beast tide?”
“How can they all be immortal beasts?”
“This the Devil Gate Star. I never heard of immortal beasts gathering here!”
“Go report to General!”
Shan Qingfeng was quick in arriving outside the path to immortality’s gates with his army of heavenly soldiers and dyeing the gates in a golden hue. Every heavenly soldier had a golden armor and wielded an immortal weapon.
Chen Ming eyed them, A true army, outfitted with a set of immortal armor and immortal weapons. This is going to be a bit difficult.
Forget it, I’ll just show myself since only this way I can command my men.
Hid among the roc’s plumage, he activated the mask.
A black shadow sparked before the army. Heavenly Court’s heavenly soldiers felt a chill creep their spine. The elusive Faceless!
Shan Qingfeng passed through his troops’ ranks, “What’s so heroic about deceiving people. Fight me fair and square!”
Chen Ming met him with a dull look, “You don’t cut it. I don’t like preying on children and I shall let children play among themselves. I have this much propriety.”
Shan Qingfeng’s eyebrow snapped in rage, He dares call me a child in front of two armies?
This is unforgivable!
“Bastard!”
Though he knew a Faceless wouldn’t implicate himself so easily. Once he moved, he struck like lighting, “We can negotiate. You can have 60% of the souls while letting me and Jade Lake divide the rest!”
In Chen Ming’s heart, This isn’t some kids game where you can cheat your way out. We will just have to see who will be the true owner of these souls!
Who knew how many souls were in there?
Wouldn’t it be better to fight it out first?
“If it were any other, you’d never agree to this. But luck had it for you to meet me. I don’t care about those common souls, but yours caught my attention. I don’t like having whelps running around on my lawn.”
The beginning of his speech was tolerable, but the last part got Shan Qingfeng close to exploding, Hear, hear, is that how a human speaks?
But he approved of Chen Ming’s standpoint. This constellation was under Headless Assembly’s control from the start, while Heavenly Court along with Jade Lake were the invaders.
Shan Qingfeng snapped, “Spread out!”
The other party had the numerical advantage and if the war would devolve into chaos their loss was guaranteed!
The heavenly soldiers began to move, hardship cultivators in front to repel the immortal beasts’ charge and common cultivators in the back with immortal swords at the ready hovering overhead.
The hardship cultivators were encased in thick armor with only a thin slit for eyes as an opening.
Chen Ming took it all in, That’s a real army, unlike that rag-tag bunch from the demonic sect attacking whenever. It’s time I reveal my skill as commander.
Chen Ming’s shadow popped next to Li Suyi, “Ba, la, ba la (Deploy the armored fire-lightning bulls)!”
Li Suyi roared, “Snarl, roar, (Armored fire-lightning bulls, charge)!”
Chen Ming then appeared at Lu Qingxuan’s shoulder, “Divide the battlefield!”
The next was Yang Hun, “Keep an eye out for Lu Qingxuan and provide cover.”
The horde of immortal beasts split to make way for the fire-lightning bulls’ charge. This beast’s hide was thick, as well as sporting large muscles, perfect in leading the assault.
The ground shook under the hooves of three thousand bulls. With body wreathed in fire and lightning streaking around them, they dyed the sky the colors of the infernal abyss!
Lu Qingxuan waved, “All Celestial Immortals, ride with me!”
After the bulls left, the hundred Celestial Immortals rode behind Lu Qingxuan with impeccable skill.
Lu Qingxuan spurred his horse and led them close behind the bulls.
Shan Qingfeng barked, “Heavy Division, release arrows!”
As hardship cultivators, they had the raw power to move mountains and upturn seas. They reached for the heavy bows on their backs and started releasing arrows at the incoming bulls.
The arrow rain streaked the skies, letting out ear-piercing sounds. If it were any other star, the space would’ve collapsed by now.
Shan Qingfeng was far from finished, “Flying Sword Division, attack!”
Immortal swords by the dozen littered the heavens. In this sword world, sword energy reached an unprecedented height, becoming a veritable sea!
An arrow pierced the leading bull and, despite the agony, it only worked to fuel its rage and make its eyes bloodshot, “Mooo!”
The tsunami of fire-lighting bulls went berserk, disregarding any danger to their lives in their relentlessness march and unquenching thirst for blood!
