Chapter 377 – Conversations within Destiny

From the very beginning, the war did not probe further. It had come in such a direct and violent manner. The soldiers of both sides were like enemies who had killed their parents. Upon meeting each other, they would either die for their own sake or die for their own. This was the attitude of everyone in Youlan. Not just the soldiers, but even the common people hated each other to the extreme. At that time, the Youguo’s allied forces had slaughtered their way into the State of Yan, and almost all the people from the east border to the Fanggu were dead. Now, the Yan Clan had invaded the borders of Youguo, and those who went from the western border of Youguo to Beiping City were all going to die.

This was Karma Samsara?

A cultivator from the hidden army descended from the sky. He waved the long saber in his hand, and a saber Qi extended out. Four to five Yan Army soldiers as well as a whole crossbow were all sliced in half in front of him.

An Zheng swept through the crowd, instantly arriving in front of the cultivator, grabbed his neck, and pressed down. The back of the cultivator’s head slammed into the city walls, smashing through them. An Zheng casually threw the corpse out and threw a cyan cultivator, who was in midair, outside the city.

A cultivator from the hidden army fell from the sky and kicked over the soldier guarding the crossbow. Then, he turned the crossbow around and aimed it at the defending army in the city. An Zheng’s body flickered, his fist striking the nose of the cultivator, instantly blowing up his head. He then turned the crossbow around and shot it at the sky, but there was no time for him to aim it at the charging You Army outside the city.

The fireballs exploded in the crowd outside the city and countless broken limbs flew into the air.

An Zheng raised his head and pointed upwards. Holy Fish Scale flew out from the Blood Pearl Bracelet. Nine of the Holy Fish Scale formed into protective shields beside An Zheng, while the other nine transformed into cicada wings that were as transparent as cicada wings, flying quickly and fast towards the sky. The nine blades cut into the bottom of one of the battleships, spraying blood along the way. Like nine spinning Windfire Wheels, they pierced through the battleship, causing it to emit creaking sounds. Then, it tilted and fell from the sky.

The soldiers of the hidden army wailed in pain as they fell to the ground, turning intile of meat.

“Whiz!”

A gigantic boulder flew past An Zheng’s back, causing one of the enemies to die. An Zheng suddenly turned his head, only then did he realise that the enemy outside the city had already begun their attack. They quickly set up the throwing cart outside the city, and over five hundred pounds of huge stones were thrown up into the air one by one. Suceavy and huge stone was comparable to a powerful magical equipment. The stone fell on the city wall, and those who were hit could not even keep their bodies.

One of the battlements was shattered by the explosion, and small pieces of shattered rock flew out like bullets.

An Zheng stood on top of the city walls, watching the bloody scene, his head was starting to explode. Although he was once the head of the Da Xi Ming Fa Si, he had seen many things that others had never seen and experienced many things that others had never experienced. However, he had never experienced war before. Da Xi was too powerful. No one dared to provoke her. Da Xi had not experienced war in a long time. This was the first time An Zheng had been in sucerrible situation.

He did not know why the hidden army had suddenly gone crazy and started to attack without a care for their lives. The soldiers on top of the city wall started to counterattack. Crossbows, arrows, and arrows rained down likorrential rain. The soldiers who had charged up to the city fell down, layer by layer, as if they had been struck by a sickle. Their corpses were filled with arrows. A soldier whose chest had been pierced by a heavy crossbow could not even fall. The heavy crossbow supported him on the ground. His face was so low that he could see the huge wound on his chest.

An Zheng continued to teleport on the city walls, killing off the cultivators from the hidden troops one after another. On the city wall, he was shuttling back and forth likay of light amidst such a dense crowd. No one could resist a single move from him. Even though An Zheng hated wars more and more, he was also very clear that war did not allow one to be merciful in the slightest.

Seeing that the enemy’s cloud ladder was about to reach the city wall, An Zheng swung his hand and scattered the Holy Fish Scale outside. Nine Holy Fish Scale s flew close to the wall and cut off at least ten ladders. The soldiers who had already climbed up the ladder wailed in agony and fell down, their bones breaking and their tendons breaking.

“Light cavalry out of the city!”

At that moment, the city guards let out a deafening cheer.

The light cavalry of the Yan Army, which had exited from the other side of the city gate, stabbed into the hidden army of tens of thousands like a sharp knife. Although there were only three thousand Light Cavalry soldiers, their speed was far too fast. With an irresistible amount of force, they continued to charge forward.

“There’s no other way!”

Chang Huan’s face was full of blood and grief: “Letting the light cavalry charge into the enemy’s camp is simply courting death, but the last time the city gate was breached, it has not been completely repaired. If the enemy’s heavy siege equipment approaches, the city gate will be immediately broken open. “Our cavalry specializes in the tactics of travelling like the wind, but if they were to charge in like this …”

There were tears in his eyes, mixed with blood.

An Zheng jumped down from the city wall like an eagle spreading its wings.

He pointed in the air, and the nine Holy Fish Scale that were protecting him quickly grew, forming nine iron gates that blocked the city.

In the air, purple lightning coiled around An Zheng’s left hand and purple sun appeared on his right hand. His body shot out from the city walls like a cannonball, then abruptly stopped in midair. An Zheng who was holding onto his head with both hands, shouted: “All Yan Jun Cavalry, break out to the left!”

[Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns]

The forbidden grade Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns, in battle, completely displayed its power. Although An Zheng had far from returned to his peak, the might of the Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns was still not to be underestimated. The current An Zheng could only bring the Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns to a state close to that of a Purple-Rank cultivation technique, but for the hidden soldiers below, it was still an unstoppable disaster.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

To the left of the light cavalry of the Yan Army, the surging crowd of the Zhou Army had set off a wild tide. It was like a cover bombing, with a bomb dropped on every square meter of land. Violent waves of air came one after another, and the corpse within the waves of air was sent flying high into the sky. Then, it was torn apart by the distorted waves of air until it became as fine as dust. The entire row of explosions blasted forward, directly creating a bloody gash in the middle of the army.

With a single Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns, he created a path to survival for the trapped light cavalry of the Yan Army.

An Zheng descended from the sky and pointed ahead, leaving the nine pieces of Holy Fish Scale meat grinder in front to clear the way. He turned around and shouted at the cavalrymen, “Come with me!”

The light cavalry soldiers who were already stuck in a quagmire saw the chance for survival and followed An Zheng out of the army. If An Zheng was said to be the sharpest dagger in the whole team, then the riders behind him were like the sharp blades of the dagger, further tearing apart the position that An Zheng had pierced through.

An Zheng sprinted in front, followed by more than two thousand light cavalry soldiers charging at full speed. When the light cavalry started to move, the hidden soldiers had no way to deal with them.

“Kill!”

Following the command given by the general in charge of the cavalry, the cavalry soldiers began to shoot arrows at the soldiers from both sides. A crossbow that could fire twelve bolts aime was this type of close range killing tool. The rain of arrows rained down on the soldiers from the hidden army, knocking them down one by one.

An Zheng killed his way through the army of hidden troops, and led the cavalrymen to rush out, then turned around and killed those scattered and trapped cavalrymen.

“Who is that?”

After rushing out of the encirclement, some light cavalry soldiers turned to look at An Zheng’s back and asked.

No one could give him an answer, but everyone still remembered that youth’s imposing figure.

An Zheng dashed through the crowd, rescuing the more than one hundred cavalrymen who were trapped into a small squad of cavalrymen. He then started his second charge. To the soldiers of the hidden army, the Holy Fish Scale that was dancing and spinning in front of them was a nightmare.

Just as An Zheng was about to rescue the hundred over cavalrymen that were trapped, a large group of black figures quickly rushed over from afar.

The nine Holy Fish Scale automatically flew in front of An Zheng to block, and the thing that was charging at him smashed onto the Holy Fish Scale likeavy hammer. An Zheng’s feet involuntarily slid backwards, two ravines appearing on the ground.

The Holy Fish Scale opened it, and An Zheng looked at the person in front of him.

It was a young man wearing the armor of a hidden army general. He looked to be only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. This person had an aura of iron that belonged solely to the giants. He stood there like a javelin. Those two cold eyes on An Zheng’s body were like two sharp arrows. From the look on his face, he could tell that this man was a murderer. Who knew how many lives were on his hands?

From the moment he saw this person, An Zheng’s heart involuntarily shook.

It was not only because this person’s armor was covered by a tattered blood-red divinity robe, nor was it because this person’s aura was as cold as a javelin. More importantly … The magical equipment that that that man had just used to attack An Zheng... It’s the Holy Fish Scale!

An Zheng looked at him suspiciously, and the man looked at An Zheng with the same puzzled and hostile gaze.

This was something that An Zheng had never encountered before. He had already discovered eighteen pieces of Holy Fish Scale, but other than him, no one knew the worth of the fish scales, and no one could control them either. But now, the person in front of him had used a Holy Fish Scale to knock An Zheng out. At that moment, it was the battle between the Holy Fish Scale.

The big fish had once said that An Zheng was its choice.

The corner of An Zheng’s mouth rose upwards … Big fish, big fish, it seems your choice is not the only one.

“You!”

The young man on the other side pointed his iron spear at An Zheng, “Why are there fish scales?!”

An Zheng saw that the red robe on this person’s armor that was floating around divinity was almost all broken. This showed that this young man was someone from Youguo. The situation of the Youguo was even more complicated than that of the State of Yan, the divinity was above the Spirit King. Therefore, the main generals of the hidden troops were all appointed by the divinity. Rather than say that it was the Nether King who had instigated a war against the State of Yan over the years, it would be better to say that it was the war between the divinity and the Nether King.

“Answer me!”

Seeing that An Zheng was only calmly looking at him, the young officer immediately became furious. “Who the hell are you? Why do you have fish scales! ”

An Zheng took a deep breath and tossed aside all of his thoughts. This was a battlefield, and there was no time to think about so many random things. The force of this youth’s attack just now allowed An Zheng to feel that his opponent’s strength was about the same as his own. And the most terrifying thing was that the other party’s Cultivation Power was obviously even more powerful than his Captive Stage, yet it was actually able to knock him back!

The same Holy Fish Scale, the same young man, the same Captive Stage but the strength of a cultivator of the same level far surpassed him!

An Zheng’s eyes slightly narrowed, and suddenly felt that this was a showdown that was destined to happen.
