Chapter 215 The War Part V
“What’s going on ahead, Brother?” Hong Chen asked with a frown, as his eyes stared at the blazing fire that was still far ahead of them.
Hong Li took a deep breath, and replied. “Our cannon fodders have been wiped out, Brother Chen.”
“What!?” Hong Chen turned to him in shock. “How did that happen? And who did it?”
“I really don’t know, Brother Chen.” Hong Li replied with a shake of his head. “Suddenly, hundreds of fire swords fell from the sky, and they were burned alive.”
Hong Chen fell silent, as he spread his senses, but he didn’t find anyone else’s presence in the burning area of ??the cannon fodders. Of course, he couldn’t sense the presence of Xia Tian and the two women, because Xia Tian had already asked Alice to conceal their auras. He then spread his senses further towards the Zhu Kingdom Army Camp, and he smiled when he found Zhu Yuhe there. ‘Heh, they are just cannon fodders, it doesn’t matter to me if they die, as long as I can surround them from three sides, then I can definitely force Zhu Yuhe to surrender to me, otherwise I will destroy her kingdom’ “Tell the troops, Brother We’ll move faster, because I can’t wait to get Zhu Yuhe.”
Hong Li couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, he then nodded to his brother, and immediately carried out his orders.

Sky Jade Pearl Sect
“We are going to that kingdom now, that disciple of mine has already launched his attack.” Qiao Xiao said as she pulled back her senses, and walked out of their room.
“He just killed thousands of ordinary people without mercy.” Fan Jing added with a helpless shake of her head, as she also retracted her senses, and immediately followed Qiao Xiao out.
Fan Ying followed them as she giggled. “It seems that Uncle Tian is impatient to destroy that Mortal Emperor.”
Fan Youling and Fan Quexian exchanged glances, and they sighed helplessly, then followed them.
“I want to come with you, Master.” Zhu Honglian said, as she tugged on Fan Youling’s sleeve.
Xia Xing also said. “En, I want to come too.”
Fan Youling turned to them, and shook her head. “You two stay here, because you are too young to witness this war.”
“You two better listen to Aunt Youling’s words, and stay in the sect, Xing’er, Honglian.” Fan Quexian added.
Zhu Honglian and Xia Xing could only lower their heads in resignation, and replied in unison. “Alright then, we’ll stay in the sect.”
After that, Qiao Xing immediately took out her flying artifact, and took them on board, then flew swiftly out of the sect.

West of the City (Few hours hours later)
“Get ready!” General Mang shouted after he heard the report that Hong Chen’s army was approaching them.
One of the soldiers behind the catapult said. “They’re within our range, General.”
General Mang nodded, and he stared into the distance, as he issued orders. “Fire!”
*Swish… Swish…*
Quickly, two boulders shot from the two catapults towards Hong Chen’s troops. At the same time, the archers who had been hiding in the trees also started shooting their arrows.
———————————
“Careful!” The commander of Hong Chen’s army shouted loudly, and he issued several direct orders.
The soldiers quickly separated themselves to avoid the catapult’s attack, as they raised their shields to cover their heads, and blocked the arrows that were shot at them.
*Bam… Bam…*
The two boulders fell in the midst of their army, even though they tried to dodge the two of them, but some of them were too late to dodge, and instantly turned into minced meat.
At the same time, two young women dressed in all black attacked the enemy archers in the rear, and they danced rhythmically with two daggers in each hand to attack the enemy archers. The two women were none other than Yin and Xin, ever since Xia Tian had taught them the Art of Killing, plus all the strenuous training they had done, it had made their abilities improve drastically.
The commander looked back, and shouted. “What happened in the back row?”
“Two women attacked us, Commander!” One of the soldiers said. “What’s more, those two women are cultivators!”
“Shit!” The commander gritted his teeth, and he immediately moved to the rear to attack them.
———————————
‘Hey, who are those two young women?’ The Zhu Kingdom’s archers who were hiding in the trees wondered at each other.
‘Whoever they are, it is clear that they are on our side.’
‘that’s true, so we have to be careful not to injure them.’
‘Right, I will immediately inform General Mang of their presence.’

General Mang Location
“General Mang! The archers informed that there were two young female cultivators who attacked the enemy troops from behind, but they didn’t recognize their identities.” One of the soldiers reported.
General Mang raised his eyebrows. “It seems that Queen Yuhe has already prepared reinforcements for us, even though they are just the two of them, but as long as they are cultivators, then they are very helpful to us.”
The soldier then said. “What should we do now, General Mang? Are we going to attack them head-on?”
“We must not waste this opportunity.” General Mang said with a nod. “Cavalry! Go ahead and attack them.”
“Yes General!”
“Tell the archers to be careful lest they attack our own men.” General Mang said, as he also came forward to attack the enemy troops.

Hong Chen Army
“Who are you two? Why would cultivators like you join this war?” The commander asked loudly.
Yin and Xin exchanged glances, and they laughed softly. Yin then said. “Looks like he’s their commander, so we have to kill him straight away.”
“En, I agree.” Xin replied with a nod.
After that, they immediately disappeared from the commander’s sight, then reappeared behind him, and directly thrust their daggers into his back.
*Clang… Clang…*
However, their attacks hit the commander’s iron vest, he then snorted, and swung his sword at them.
The two women dodged his attack, then they attacked the commander’s wrists which were not covered by the iron robe.
*Slash… Slash…*
“Argh!” The commander groaned in pain, and his sword fell from his hand.
Before he could react, Yin and Xin had simultaneously thrust their daggers into the commander’s neck, and he was unable to dodge their swift attacks, so both of their daggers pierced his neck, and blood spurted from his neck.
“All of Young Master’s enemies must die.” Yin and Xin said, as they pulled their daggers off the commander’s neck.
Hong Chen’s soldiers were shocked to see their commander had fallen, plus General Mang’s troops had also attacked them from the front, it made their situation even more desperate.
