Chapter 163: Cheap Kalahari
The army of martial artists returned to the Cloud Dew dynasty's military camp after the successful battle, unaware of what the enemies had in store for them.
Along the way, the leaders of the various sects tried flattering Bai Quing and Quin Xuxu more but the two didn't pay them any attention; the reputable men and women could only cover their embarrassment with dry laughter.
Reaching the camp, each sect returned to their respective quarters to count their losses; the Falcon sect was the same.
They returned to their quarters and did a headcount, this only took a while before the result was sorted out. They had not lost any disciple during the clash but a few of them had sustained heavy injuries that would take long to heal while more had taken light injuries.
This was to be expected with Fengxue rampaging close to the disciples; they had used her to eliminate most of the enemies.
Overall, the battle report was good so the disciples celebrated.
While they were rejoicing over their victory, the war at the front of the camp was still on going.
Hundreds of thousands of mortal soldiers charged at each other with different weapons in hand, blood was being spilled constantly as bodies fell to the ground like flies. Zhu Ming along with other commanders stood in front of the line of soldiers who had yet to charge out.
At this moment, a figure dropped from the sky and landed in the middle of the battlefield.
BOOM!
It was as if a comet had crashed into the ground as soldiers and sand flew into the air uncontrollably and scattered in different directions. The figure who had just landed didn't seem to care about allies or enemies, his arrival sent the soldiers of both sides flying and many of the soldiers died.
After the dust settled, the figure could finally be seen.
It was a tall huge man with a bare upper body and a sack material covering his lower waist.
He held two large knives in both hands with chains attached to them which curled around his arm.
The man stood up, he was over three meters tall and looked like a giant in the middle of the soldiers. In addition to that was the terrifying aura that was rising from his body, he was a level 8 expert!
The horses of the Cavalry that were still alive cried in panic, they raised their front hooves and stepped on empty air numerous times before turning to run away; the riders were unable to calm them, it was difficult to control a scared horse.
The bare bodied figure looked toward the fleeing horses and their riders, the foot soldiers were also starting to retreat; they could not fight this opponent.
BOOM!
The ground shook again and sand exploded as the figure dashed toward the fleeing Calvary, his speed was so great that he appeared in front of them and blocked their path; they had barely moved for them meters before he caught up.
He lifted his large knives and roared like a beast before slashing at the first soldier on horseback.
The eyes of the soldier widened in horror as he stared at the towering figure in front of him, his lips opened but they could only quiver since no words came out.
Hr could feel the cold hands of death grabbing his shoulders, he was going to die for sure.
Swoosh!
The figure smashed down with unstoppable momentum, the black was like a flash of light that no eyes could follow.
The soldier closed his eyes, waiting for death. But instead of his consciousness to fade the painful feeling of those large knives crashing into his body, a deafening sound and the shaking of the ground forced him to open his eyes.
BAM!
The soldier slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at the figure, but another person was currently blocking him; the soldier had to look at the towering figure's face from above the head of this new person.
It was a man in Golden armor and carrying a sword scabbard on his right left waist. Just like the towering figure who was carrying two large knives, this person in armor was also a level 8 expert.
He was a General of the Cloud Dew dynasty's imperial army. They were saved!
"The Kalahari dynasty sure are shameless, sending a monster like you into a battlefield of mortals. That's a bit too much, don't you think?" The Golden armored General asked in a teasing tone, he was currently holding the two large knives of the other party with his hands.
The huge figure didn't respond, he roared instead; a clear sign that he was angered by the action of this General. With a strong pull, he retrieved his knives and was about to slash out again but how could the General allow it?
Before the towering figure could bring down his knife, a strong force landed on his chest as the General punched him with his hand covered in Shi.
Bang!
The sound was deafening, the mighty punch sank into the body of the figure before sending him flying in the direction of the Kalahari soldiers like a broken kite.
He crashed into hundreds of soldiers along the way before coming to a stop, a long trail of blood and mangled flesh stretched for a hundred meters in front of him; these were the remains of the soldiers he had crashed into.
From the back of the battlefield, Zhu Ming softly passed another order. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
"Kill him," her words were soft but ruthless.
The Golden armored General turned and cupped his hands while blowing his head.
Shing!
He drew his sword out of its scabbard before dashing toward the figure who was yet to stand up.
Bang!
A large knife was suddenly tossed at him and pushed him back, his legs sliding on the sand. Obviously, it wasn't going to be easy to kill this person; they were both level seven martial artists after all.
A fierce clash soon erupted as the two martial artists charged at each other with their weapons, the mortal soldiers sensibly retreated from where they were fighting to avoid getting caught up in their clash and dying miserably.
While the two fought and the soldiers retreated, several new figures had appeared on the side of the Cloud Dew dynasty's army. One was a Golden armored man with red cape and shiny bald head, he was a level 9 expert just like Zhu Ming.
The others were Generals below the 8 level.
"What are you doing on this part of the battlefield?" Zhu Ming looked at the bald man and asked, her tone sounded distant but not too cold.
This person was an important figure just like her and was in charge of another battlefield like the Gulu plain.
"To pass information, we discovered the presence of strange humans on our battlefield and I've been asked by the emperor to spread the news as fast as possible."
The bald headed man said formally.
Right at this moment, a soldier stepped forward and whispered something to Zhu Ming. The woman's expression didn't change but the bald headed man revealed an interesting expression.
He was a powerful martial artist so it wasn't strange that he heard what the soldier had whispered to Zhu Ming.
"Subordinates acting on their own, I presume?" He asked.
"It's none of your business," Zhu Ming glared at him and said before turning to the green haired soldier who had brought the Falcon sect to the Gulu plain before ordering him to take command until the General who was fighting the bare chested figure returned.
"Understood!" The green haired soldier cupped his hand and shouted.
Zhu Ming didn't say anything else before floating into the air and shooting in the direction of the Falcon sect's quarters.
The man in red caped Golden armor grinned softly before flying after her.
The two appeared in the night sky above the Falcon sect's quarters in no time. The disciples were still celebrating and the place looked busy.
Quin Xuxu and Bai Quing had pulled Leon to Quin Xuxu's private tent for questioning, Fengxue had followed as well.
They were currently asking about the sudden power increase whenever they were facing a stronger enemy.
Leon didn't want to lie to them, so he told them that it was an ability of his that he had discovered by accident.
"I still don't know how to control it well and can't use it all the time," Leon had said.
" So it was you? Is having such an ability even possible?" Fengxue exclaimed. Unlike Quinn Xuxu and Bai Quing, this was her first time experiencing Leon's Lord of the harem buff effect.
"Since when did you discover that you had this ability?" Quin Xuxu asked.
Leon answered and said that it was after his duel with Zi Yan's disciple.
Quin Xuxu turned silent for a while as she fell into thought, Bai Quing and Fengxue tried asking more about this ability but Leon firmly claimed that he didn't know how it worked entirely yet.
"I think I know why you have this ability," Quin Xuxu suddenly said after a brief moment of thinking.
Everyone immediately turned to look at her, waiting for her explanation.
Quin Xuxu ignored the two women and stared at Leon seriously.
"It's because you're the child of Dao?"
