This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Wuyou swung herself onto the horse, and Zhan Ming followed her closely behind. They had to arrive at the Qi army’s camp at the rat o’clock so as to collaborate Madam Yu to launch attacks. 50,000 troops marched quickly with amazing momentum in clouds of dust. Wuyou took the lead. The troops just spent 4 hours reaching the Qi army’s encampment. Zhan Ming estimated the time exactly by fire calculation and knew there was an hour before the rat o’clock. 50,000 forces were divided into ten columns, with 5,000 forces in each one. Zhan Ming selected the veteran soldiers and able officers to take the sneak-attack. Wuyou encamped on the spot. As the General Commander of the Jin army, Wuyou should have the momentum to manoeuvre the whole army well. When the torch was burnt out, Zhan Ming led the soldiers and broke into the Qi’s barrack first.

Burning oil bombs boosted the arrows further. Flames sprang up to heaven. Attacked by the burning oil bombs, Di’s camps was in a mess. Although Di army had made preparations, they were attacked by surprise. Lin Xiaosa swung himself on the saddle. No one had expected that Jin army would launch attacks at midnight. Di Qing had artillery battalions, so he desired to testify the sharp weapon’s killing power. Lin Xiaosa wielded the spiritual saber and showed no mercy to the Jin soldiers. He slashed at the enemies, and his armor was spotted with blood. A ghastly smile took on the corner of his mouth. Who changed the gentle and warm man into a cold-blood one? Military forces would never make people surrender, but wars could make people become more ruthless. What flowed along the saber was not the people’s blood, but the desire. Lin Xiaosa was dominated by hatred. The animosity coming from the depth of the soul became his courage to kill people. He had never known that killing was so piquant. Lin Xiaosa would avenge his younger brother. Blood fog blurred his eyes, but the spiritual saber still kept slashing. This was what Di Qing wanted to see. There was just a step away from deity to devil. Hatred was really useful. Oild bombs shot out and the battalion cracked by the fire. Zhan Ming wielded the hammer to blow out the Qi soldiers’ brains head-on, which scared the other soldiers to run back hurriedly. Di Qing shifted into Black Dragon and dashed into the clouds. The Black Dragon swept its giant tail. Jin soldiers hid behind Zhan Ming with fright, as they had never seen such a monster before. No one was a match to the Black Dragon. But luckily, Mrs. Xu had made full preparations. Wuyou who was in the Jin’s barrack kept noticing the movements in the Heavenly Mirror. It was time for Madam Yu to appear. Pangu’s spirit was flipped to the Holy Temple. Madam Yu was waiting for the signal, the moment. She issued an order, and naga soldiers rushed to the Southern Front. Zhan Ming did not know the shape-shifting, so he was defeated after several rounds. The giant tails rolled Jin’s soldiers up and threw them out. Zhan Ming could do nothing but to watch his soldiers being slashed in half. The dragon roared and frightened the horses to scatter in all directions. Even Zhan Ming was thrown several meters away. Wuyou noticed calmly the situations of the two forces, and knew that it was time for Madam Yu to launch attacks.

“Report. The Southern Front has been breached by the Naga soldiers.” Lin Xiaosa rode the horses to the Southern Front. If Qi army was being attacked at both ends, Qi army would not get any good from it. Zhan Ming blocked the way to stop Lin Xiaosa. Lin Xiaosa gave a blow, while Zhan Ming confronted it with his hammer. Soldiers fled away in all directions. The spiritual saber was fighting against the hammer. After several rounds, they seemed even. Zhan Ming’s purpose was to drag down Lin Xiaosa, so that Madam Yu had enough time to break through the Front.

“Report. Jin army has broken through the defensive lines.” Madam Yu was so amazing that she was able to breach the enemy lines with the least number of military forces. What an admirable thing! Wuyou thought that her husband could bring peace to the world sooner or later with the help of such a valiant General.

Black Dragon launched another attack. Soldiers were rolled up by the hurricane. Wuyou set a spiritual net tightly. Black Dragon swept out, and those soldiers began falling down. The spiritual net extended to catch the soldiers. The rescued soldiers touched the spiritual net and felt amazed at the transparent thing. Black Dragon spat out the Dragon Pearl. Surging Spiritual Qi gathered to the Dragon Pearl. When the Spiritual Qi enwrapped the Dragon Pearl tightly, Di Qing swallowed it. The seething Dragon Pearl ran in his four limbs, and Spirit Power sprang up under his feet. Di Qing flew out. A great fire ball rushed to him on the sky. Di Qing combined the Dragon with his spirit together. Spirit Power lit up the sky. Wuyou opened the bones of her eyebrows and released Pangu’s spirit out. Blue lights spread in all directions. Zhan Ming was startled at the sight. Although he knew that Mrs. Xu knew the shape-shifting, he did not expect that her power had reached the peak of perfection. Powerful spirit swept the night sky. Mountains split and the earth shook. Soldiers fled away with scare, as they had never seen such weird scene. Qi soldiers were engulfed by the cracking ground. Horses reared up, hoping to escape the purgatory. Wuyou could not bear seeing so many young faces falling into the fissures, so she flicked her spiritual fingers and lifted Qi’s soldiers. Soldiers were still suffering from the shock. The Dragon Pearl was suppressed by Wuyou’s powerful spirit. Di Qing tolerated the tearing pain and rushed to Jiang Wuyou. Zhan Ming was worried about Mrs. Xu. That huge burning pearl could not be intercepted by a common person. The Heavenly Book spread and the golden armor covered Wuyou tightly. She waved her long arms and split the burning pearl in half. Spiritual Qi shot up to the sky. Di Qing fell down like a deflating balloon. Seeing their master falling off, soldiers flooded up to hold Di Qing. The corner of Wuyou’s mouth rose, and she thought Di Qing was too weak to withstand one blow. Zhan Ming was convinced by Mrs. Xu’s great power and thought that she was so marvelous that she could defeat Di Qing with only one movement. No one could compare to her momentum, including the Commander in Chief. Seeing Zhan Ming distracted, Lin Xiaosa took the time to drive the horse to the Southern Front. Zhan Ming shouted inwardly, “Terrible”, and then followed him. Soldiers ran after the commander and stopped Lin Xiaosa. Zhan Ming cast his hammer out, and the swirling hammer blocked Lin Xiaosa’s way. Lin Xiaosa wielded his spiritual saber and cut the hammer in half. Zhan Ming was shocked at the saber, as it could cleave the black iron hammer. Lin Xiaosa rushed out with only one thought in his mind: Jin soldiers killed his younger brother, so he must take revenge. Now, Lin Xiaosa was nothing but a killing machine.

Zhan Ming chased after Lin Xiaosa all the way, hoping Madam Yu could capture the Western Front as quickly as possible. If so, it was too late for Lin Xiaosa to reach there. Naga lit up the silk, and fire sprang up to the heaven. Madam Yu brandished her wand and issued a command. Her naga gathered up with naga’s tails as hard as steel thorns. Common persons’ body could not bear the thorns at all. After several rounds, Qi soldiers were injured and killed a lot. Devil soldiers changed into demonic souls and pounced at naga and tore their bodies. Devil army was thirsty for blood. For them, the living creatures with spiritual pearls were the food. Madam Yu slapped toward the demonic souls and dissipated those little souls. The injured naga found the pains intolerable, and once bitten by demonic souls, they could go manic till the Spiritual Qi ran out. The pain was more torturing than death. Therefore, Madam Yu submitted to slap to her injured naga, with her tears falling on the spiritual saber. Those bitten naga turned into souls, penetrated the saber and flew to the sky. Devil soldiers swarmed up to Madam Yu. She wielded her spiritual saber and thought that she could not fall down at that moment, because the Commander in Chief still waited for her good news. When Zhan Ming arrived there, Madam Yu had been exhausted. Naga soldiers saw the hope, and Madam Yu’s heart could rest assured as well. The reinforcement arrived in time. If they would reach later, all they could see were piles of bones. Zhan Ming waved his hammer to blow out the enemy’s brains. In the battlefield, people became inhuman, and only cared about victory and defeat, and life and death. It was even more difficult to return home alive. Lin Xiaosa slashed so long that his purlicue got numb. His body, as if possessed by devil, was full of resentment. Under his spiriutal saber were vivid lives. Hatred numbed his heart. In his eyes, it was just a life-or-death game. Piles of corpes were immersed in the blood. Devil soldiers squatted down and tore the soldiers’ body. Zhan Ming could not bear seeing his soldiers die miserably. Even though they had died, Zhan Ming wanted to bring them back intact. He waved his hammer to protect his brothers. However, devil soldiers swarmed up to Zhan Ming. Then, a naga tail swept to disperse the devil soldiers. Zhan Ming’s face was covered with blood. But for General Yu, Zhan Ming thought he would have been eaten by the devil soldiers. The two stood back to back on guard against the enemy’s sneak attack. The crucial moment of life and death could test sincerity of friends.

The devil army barred the Jin army’s way. Naga soldiers protected Madam Yu. Zhan Ming did not shrink back in confrontation with the devil army’s attack. As the commander, Zhan Ming had been indifferent to personal life and death. Jin army’s morale was high. They set tactical formation to prepare to break out by force. Zhan Ming rode to fight against Lin Xiaosa. Lin Xiaosa slapped the horse’s head. With a neigh, the horse fell over onto its back. Zhan Ming leaped into the air and swept his hammer to the Lin Xiaosa’s horse’s legs. Lin Xiaosa grasped the rein and leaped up. Zhan Ming turned over and gave one more blow. How could the horse bear the thump? And next second, it fell on the ground heavily. It was Lin Xiaosa’s cherished gallant horse which had followed him in North Desert for years. Lin Xiaosa got furious and came up to kick Zhan Ming to several meters away. Then, Lin Xiaosa slashed toward Zhan Ming. Zhan Ming rolled on the ground to dodge Lin Xiaosa’s attacks. And Qi’s soldiers protected their Commander in Chief.

Di Qing knew that Black Dragon was not the opponent of the Heavenly Book. It was time for the sharp weapon to join in the battle. Di Qing rushed into the air and gathered spirit to open the stable. Horses ran out freely and charged into the crowds. Wuyou also leaped into the air and kept a close eye on Di Qing. Hearing the call, horses were well-prepared in order. The artillery was places on the horsebacks, followed by artillery soldiers. They loaded the shells skillfully. The horses were so well-trained that they only took Di Qing’s orders. When things were prepared, Di Ling blew a whistle. Horses carried the artillery to the crowds. And soldiers fled with scare. Fire shells shot out of the steel pipe to the Jin army. Wuyou activated the chips. Then, the walloping horses suddenly shifted direction and charged at Qi army. Seeing it, Di Qing blew the whistle. However, those horses did not obey Di Qing’s order at all, as if they were mad. Fire shells shot out of the steel pipes. Explosive sounds one upon another shook the earth. Qi troops had never seen it before and then escaped to the Western Front immediately. Soldiers escorted their Majesty and fled. Controlled by the chips, horses chased after them. Lin Xiaosa rushed up to protect Di Qing.

“The horses must have been tampered.” Only then did Di Qing realize that the horses which had been trained since birth would not get mad, unless someone had juggled them in advance. Was there any spy in the military camp who had rigged on the sharp weapons ahead of time? In fact, any spirit power was unable to control these horses. It turned out that there was an expert instructing the battle behind the scene. Di Qing did not fear any longer, since he had gotten things straight. And then, he thought he should get the horses back and study how the opponent controlled the horses. Di Qing swung himself on the saddle, pulled the rein and rode away. The horse carried the artillery, rushed to the crowds and bombarded. Di Qing feared the artillery, but he had to take risks because he wanted to know the truth. Wuyou knew Di Qing’s intention, but she would not allow him to know the truth. Next second, her spirit power stirred up wild winds. The chip controlled the horse’ brain. Wuyou released the brain waves. The horse received them, threw Di Qing off and darted to the Qi’s barrack. Soldiers knelt on the ground with great scare. Who could expect the result? The horse just kept running madly and exploded the soldiers to die all the way. Soon, Qi’s military camp was trapped in the flames.

Zhan Ming protected Madam Yu. Qi soldiers rushed to them, and Lin Xiaosa waved his spiritual saber to kill several soldiers in a row. The naga was surrounded tightly by devil soldiers. Zhan Ming swept his hammer, as he knew that the longer they fought, the worse it was to the Jin army. Madam Yu darted to the camp, but she was blocked by the devil soldiers. Qi army seized the right time and ran to Madam Yu. Flocks of devil soldiers tore at Madam Yu. Zhan Ming got rid of Lin Xiaosa’s attack and threw his hammer to the devil army. Lin Xiaosa’s spiritual saber slashed Zhan Ming on his back. Immediately, Zhan Ming felt wet and bloody on the back, but he bore the pain to rive a way out and save Madam Yu. Horses neighed and ran wildly. Explosive sound scared the soldiers to run in all directions. And Di Qing also fled in panic.

This battle was extremely fierce. Naga army suffered great casualties, and Madam Yu was struck by the devil poison and lay unconscious. Jin army captured a large number of goods and materials. Qi Kingdom was drained of its strength by the war and lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Qi army returned to the kingdom with failure. People there were in a panic. The battles in a row had sapped the country’s foundation. Qi army had to retreat to the Northern Front, and Di Qing had to face the refugees’ problem. Thanks to the Emperor Jin’s correct command, Jin army could gain an overwhelming victory and captured 10 cities. In other words, after the battle, Jin’s territory expanded two times than before.
