Chapter 461 - Seeing the Wind and Fleeing
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“What good timing!”
After those 2 grade 8 yin serpents spread out their bodies, they were 3 thousand feet wide. Their bodies were thick such that it needed 40 people to hug them.
Opening its blood-filled mouth, it roared as it charged over. A vast intent pressed down on them, actually filled with a little bit of dragon aura such that people were unable to raise any intention to resist, only wishing to flee as far as possible.
Renbo and Qiaohan followed behind, their faces ashen white.
The difference between grades 6 and 7 was 100 times. The difference between grade 7 and grade 8 was also above grade 10.
Even this yin flood dragon which was at the peak of grade 8 could sweep those 20 yin flood dragons from before.
Zong Shou laughed involuntarily, still using the blood cavalry to kill the heart sutra to move the energy of the troops. The energy patterns formed outside of their bodies also absorbed and gathered the internal energy of the thousands of people behind causing his body to be covered in a pale blood mist.
Just as the 2 yin flood dragons each spat out a bone-chilling yin power, the blood-colored halberd in Zong Shou’s hand flashed once more. He also hollered.
“Slay!”
The blood-red halberd light stretched tens of thousands of feet slashing heaven and earth! All the yin energy within a thousand feet was wiped out.
When that blood-colored light slashed across, the 2 yin serpents gave out an unwilling furious roar.
When those 2800 blood armored cavalry stepped across like lightning, the flood serpent body disappeared like those grade 7 yin flood serpents from before. They turned into pure yin energy and scattered in this moat.
At the same time, 2 extremely pure and huge essence energy was forcefully absorbed by the halberd in his hand. A portion replenished his strength whilst the other was given back to the 2800 blood cloud cavalry through the 5 energy patterns.
The blood cloud cavalry armor and halberd could only obtain energy from absorbing blood. However, Zong Shou wasn’t restricted by that. He cultivated the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique and any being in heaven and earth could be swallowed. Even formless beings like the yin flood dragon!
After slaying these 2 grade 8 peak yin flood dragons, the aura of these blood cloud cavalries also rose to their peak.
Within this evil spirit moat, pretty much all evil beings were being chased away, fleeing towards the other direction. Even grade 7 and grade 8 beings didn’t dare to face them head-on.
Sweeping all the way, directly crossing 300 miles with the moat. 2800 halberds were unchallenged at all. There were no evil beings that could stop it for a moment. Who knew how many of them were slain.
Just those grade 8 yin flood dragons alone, 6 of them were killed. Zong Shou casually obtained 4 grade 8 soul crystals.
As time went on, the area around the cavalry force was covered in a blood-red colored blood cloud. Sometimes, even without needing them to strike, those yin souls that caught up were smashed into pieces by the blood cloud!
Renbo was a little nervous before, but at this moment, his soul was shaking!
As expected from the cavalry army that allowed the Wulie Country to stand strong during the cloud desolate era! Such an invincible presence far exceeded what he had expected.
One pretty much could imagine how this blood cloud cavalry would sweep Donglin, trampling through armies on the battlefield.
Just as they slowly got close to the draw bridge in front of Zhenshan pass, the green-colored yin mist had a dragon roar break out from within.
The huge sound wave charged hundreds of miles. Some of the unstable stone pieces were broken by the sound, blown into pieces.
Even the blood cloud cavalry army blood mist was struck by this dragon roar, shaking. In just a moment it stabilized.
A sharp glow appeared in Zong Shou’s eyes which shot through into the distance.
It was a yin flood dragon that had started to transform into a dragon. Scales had appeared on its body. The size of its body was also several times larger than the few grade 8 beasts from before. The few grade 7 flood dragons he killed in front that they killed were just little snakes in front of it.
Grade 9!
With just one look Zong Shou could confirm that it was a grade 9 strong presence! As compared to that sleeping chill hornless dragon in the water fairy lake, it was just a little weaker.
In his heart he was excited, increasing the speed of the horse as the galloped swiftly forwards.
Surprisingly, when Zong Shou closed the distance to around 100 thousand feet, that grade 9 giant flood dragon showed a little fear. It was unable to go up against the blood cloud cavalry. Its body flying as it frantically tried to escape into the distance.
Those 2800 dragon horn winged horses were just grade 4 elite beasts. There were only 9 commanders with grade 5 winged horses. Even if they went all out to chase they definitely wouldn’t be able to catch up.
Which was why the difference between the 2 was getting wider and wider. Going from the 100 thousand feet to 450 thousand feet.
Seeing that he was unable to catch up, the mount under him was showing signs of exhaustion. A cold glow appeared in Zong Shou’s eyes as he scoffed coldly.
“Balless evil spirit. You think you’re worth a dragon? Kill it!”
Just as he said that Zong Shou tossed with all his energy. 2800 true qi and vital energy all gathered into one body. The blood-colored halberd in his hand also suddenly broke away, rolling as it slashed forwards!
The blood-colored energy crossed a thousand feet, giving rise to a blood-colored luster within this wide evil spirit moat. Everywhere it passed, all the evil beings which were touched or brushed were instantly destroyed, turning into dust.
The grade 9 yin flood dragon roared out once more. This time it wasn’t to deter them, but it went all out to crazily struggle and escape.
However, that blood-colored halberd light was even faster. In an instance, it crossed hundreds of thousands of feet and stabbed into the body of the flood dragon. It slashed it apart, cutting off the ten thousand feet long tail portion of this giant flood dragon.
However, the other half of its body was crazily escaping at an even faster speed. Opening up the distance between the 2. In just a moment it was nowhere to be seen.
Zong Shou continued to gallop forwards, picking up the halberd that he had tossed out. Following which the grade 5 dragon horn winged horse slowed down. It caused the entire cavalry force to stop.
At this moment the entire army, although they were in high spirits, the few weaker cavalry were showing signs of exhaustion.
Zong Shou himself felt that he was lacking in energy. Looking out at the yin mist in the distance, he couldn’t help but scold out. He was planning to suppress this grade 9 yin flood dragon and make it submit, to help Ruoshui get a protector beast. In the future, when it evolved into a black yin dragon, it could aid her. However, now he looked on as it fled into the distance.
This was the strongest grade in the cloud world! It didn’t even dare to face him head-on, what a loss of face.
Qiaohan at the back felt complicated as he looked on, extremely terrified.
These 2800 cloud cavalry could go up against grade 9 experts! It was even so strong that the grade 9 yin flood dragon would flee right as it saw them. Beneath grade 9, all grade 8 were crushed.
As for their Kongqi Sect, they had only 4 grade 9 experts. Although they hid some of their strength it wasn’t enough.
They might be able to wipe out the blood cloud cavalry, but one mustn’t forget that Zong Shou had 3 million troops under him!
...3 thousand black fox iron cavalry, 4 thousand iron tiger halberd warrior, 4 thousand wind splitting mo knife soldiers, 4 thousand wind bear mountain splitting guards, 5 thousand eye wolf guards, 2 thousand pill crane cavalry.
That was 22 thousand xiantian!
Apart from that, Zong Shou had 30 thousand guards cavalry which was all mythic master level. The amount of xiantain experts within number 3 thousand!
Before this Gantian Monster king was the student of Dragon Shadow old man the sect could still use seniors who were in other worlds to suppress him. However, now, even with external force they were suppressed.
9 dragon shadow, grade 10 saint spirit! In ancient times, even end realm experts needed to retreat from it!
It was said that if the dragon shadow old man doesn’t a breakthrough, he was just a few decades away from dying.
However, before he died no sect will dare to make a move.
Renbo waited for a moment, seeing that Zong Shou had no more intentions to fight, he moved his horse right next to Zong Shou.
“Ruler, I think we should return. We know the ability of the blood cloud cavalry. Clearing out the evil spirit moat this time can ensure our Gantian Mountain is safe for 10 years.”
Evil spirit moat had the iron chains of Zhenshan Pass suppressing so the evil spirits, even the grade 9 ones wouldn’t be able to escape out of it.
However, ten thousand years of accumulation, the amount of yin energy within caused the seal to show signs of weakness. Sometimes some grade 7 and below beasts would break free. In the past the Donglin Sect would clean them up but as they weren’t much of a problem so they didn’t put in much effort.
Before Zong Weiran built the city, even though there were 5 thousand miles of fertile wilderness but no one dared to stay in this Gantian plains.
Until Gantian Mountain rose sent troops to clear it out this was the cause of this place to become peaceful. However every year there would be some commoners who died from the evil spirits and beings that escape.
Sweeping all about, the number of evil beings they killed was already around a million. Most of them were forcefully smashed by the red mist. This portion of the evil spirit moat was largely solved and to recover it would need tens of years.
Zong Shou acknowledged, not taking a stand. He turned around and smiled towards Qiaohan seriously, “If I give you a spiritual sect, how will your sect repay me?”
Qiaohan was startled, he wasn’t able to react. A moment later his face flushed red, his emotions rising, his hands were also trembling.
Which Spiritual House? There were 19 xiantian spiritual houses which all were owned. Without new spiritual houses being found, then which one did Zong Shou want to give them?
Would it be the 3rd Mysterious cloud spirit Sect or the 15th Xuansu Sect?
historical
He felt complicated in his heart and wanted to instinctively agree. However, with the words at his mouth, he came back to his senses, changing what he was about to say, “This matter is too important, involving the rise and fall of my Kongqi Sect. I don’t dare to make a decision and must ask the sect seniors!”
He sighed in his heart. He knew that the sect elders wouldn’t disagree. Their Kongqi Sect was tied up together with Gantian Mountain, prospering together and falling together.
