Divine Brilliance

Sitting tall on the horse, Ren Tianxing closed his eyes and waited quietly.

In the blink of an eye, another hour passed but there was still no sound from the camp.

Ren Tianxing couldn’t help but open his eyes, which were filled with worry. He was really clear about the skill of his Junior Brother. Even if he couldn’t persuade those City Lords to change sides, he would still be able to retreat safely.

But, they didn’t have much time left. If Zhang Huai didn’t return in two hours, then he would have to attack.

A thunderous horse hoof suddenly sounded. He turned around to see a bunch of cavalry swiftly galloping over.

He was slightly shocked. Zhang Huai hadn’t come out, but Zong Gang came over already.

“Greetings Inspector!”

He immediately greeted, only to see that Zong Gang’s body was totally covered in blood.

It was apparent that he had been through a huge war not long ago.

Ren Tianxing thought about it and knew what had happened, “Did some surrendered troops rebel…”

“That’s right! The few cities of the southwest plotted together to stab us in the back. These kids are really cunning!”

Scolding on, Zong Gang said without bothering much, “It is not an issue. We will send them all to the east and they would have to fight!”

Ren Tianxing shook his head. Actually, they were surrounded on all sides by enemies.

They had close to 2,000,000 surrendered troops under them. A portion of them truly served Gantian Mountain whilst there were some quietly waiting for their chance.

They traveled lightly and got grain through pillaging. Although they burnt a lot, they didn’t have much of it left.

Those refugees didn’t have much grain left too.

If they couldn’t win this war, their situation would be worrying.

“They are defending like an iron bucket, there is no chance to break their turtle shell. I could only let Lingxuan be the Commander and come over to have a look….”

The tone was filled with closeness. Although it hadn’t been long since they met, Zong Gang was such a person. He admired people who were strong and could fight battles.

Moreover, this person was Renbo’s nephew.

“What is your situation here?”

“I will be able to break it within a day!”

Words were precious, these short words were firm and confident. Following this, Ren Tianxing continued to look toward the camp.

“However, Zhang Huai said that we don’t need to spend much effort on this battle and he could settle the situation with a few words.”

Zong Gang was startled, there was actually such a thing? Although this person was a little delicate, he knew what he wanted.

He was able to focus on killing on the battlefield and not bother with that complicated stuff all because of this person.

In the next instant, a person walked out from a tent on the east side, his face wearing a gentle smile.

Although he was in between the two armies, his footsteps weren’t fast nor slow.

It was Zhang Huai. Just as he was 5,000 feet out, several flames burned up within the camp and killing shouts rose into the air.

The seemingly impenetrable camp was in chaos.

Ren Tianxing’s brow furrowed, he really succeeded?

He heaved a sigh of relief. However, Ren Tianxing knew that this wasn’t the time to celebrate as he led his horse to the front, “Evil Suppressing Army five Towns proceed forth and prepare to strike. The other troops, prepare your armor and attack with me!”

The moment the order was given, the army was in full swing. Zong Gang felt weird when he heard this. At this moment, the chaos came from the east which was right opposite those five Towns.

However from what Ren Tianxing said, he wasn’t going to attack from there.

Thinking about it, Zong Gang knew the reason. The east was chaotic, if he was the enemy general, he would suppress the chaos there.

With that, the other places would be empty, to let the enemy take the pressure and then reduce their own losses.

This fellow really thought it through!

There was even more admiration in Zong Gang’s eyes. This kid’s ability in using troops was much stronger than his, knowing how to cherish troops and soldiers under him!

Moments later, Zhang Huai was still walking there, who knows how long he would take to get to the army formation.

Zong Gang was impatient and headed forward, asking curiously, “Kid how did you do it?”

“This thing is simple, I just used the land to tempt them!”

Zhang Huai smiled, it was indeed a simple chip to play, “The six provinces have no master and so many people are staring at it. How many people wouldn’t be tempted by a city? Even if the City Lord isn’t tempted, their men will be.”

Ren Tianxing’s pupils constricted as he frowned, “These traitors and disloyal people wouldn’t be easy to manage in the future!”

He said seriously, “The Ruler is in charge of giving land, subjects like us can’t do that.”

Zhang Huai smiled and handed a golden scroll over.

Taking a look, it was actually an order from Zong Shou. It was written months ago and what it said was to allow Zhang Huai to do such things.

The Ruler predicted this long ago?

Ren Tianxing’s nervous heart was finally placed down. What he was most worried about was Zhang Huai going overboard and drawing suspicion.

Following this, he turned around and hollered, shaking ten miles of land around.

“Brothers! Today, as long as we trample this formation, we can return to fight alongside Ruler! Are you all willing to follow me?”

The hundreds of thousands of people were silent. What followed was a wave-like roar.

“Return to the Ruler! Fight to the death! Break the formation!”

Hundreds of thousands of voices gathered together and shook the clouds. Following this, Ren Tianxing looked back at Zhang Huai.

“I will need to depend on Junior Brother…”

Zhang Huai knew that what Ren Tianxing was referring to was not the formation breaking battle.

But, that after the Gantian Mountain Army returned back, he only had a few trusted Towns. It was simply a huge headache to suppress ten provinces of the land of Huizhou.

※※※※

At the same time 10,000 miles away. In the sky above Huizhou, numerous Sword Light and Knife Shadows flew about.

Millions of energy glows intersected, nearly ripping the clouds apart.

There were no birds within 1,000 miles, only two people who were clashing and striking one another.

Numerous red lightning glows spread out and covered the sky.

Amongst this Red Star God Lightning, there was a black current which was tightly wrapped into a ball.

Although it was slightly weaker, it could defend well and not be crushed.

Behind Zong Shou’s back, there was a pair of black wings spread, 30,000 feet long.

Each time it flapped, it would draw a huge amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

Spells below Grade Five were instantly formed around him. Following this, they struck forward unceasingly.

Even if he couldn’t harm the enemy, he could distract him.

The Nameless Sword in his hand slashed out thousands of energy glows, waving about without any signs of exhaustion.

3 feet in front of him was Prince Jia Mingluo.

The two of them fought one on one, their bodies intersecting and splitting. As long as one was weaker or slower by a little, one would immediately be killed.

At this moment, Zong Shou’s sword attainment advantage was lowered to its lowest.

He was more relying on his instinct. Their speeds exceeded that of a person’s thinking ability. Most of the time, before one had made their mind up, their body would react naturally.

A strong enemy!

Since the first time they fought, Zong Shou knew that this Prince Jia Mingluo would be tough to deal with.

However, now he felt that more deeply. He avoided his strength and attacked his weakness, such that his advantage on the Sword Path was totally useless.

He also had no chance to use that Six God Flying Knife!

However, the body training effects of fighting with him were much better than training with iron sand.

Only by fighting all out with enemies of this level could he understand where his own weaknesses were.

Zong Shou laughed. To think he was thinking about such things at this moment.

This was already their 37th fight in the three months and still, they couldn’t decide a victor.

Prince Jia Mingluo had an advantage but wasn’t able to take him down.

Naturally, Zong Shou couldn’t find a chance of winning from start to finish.

However, if this continued, in just a few days his Martial Path would improve and enter the Grade Nine level.

During these few days, the gains he got from the battles and under the Spirit Realm suppression of Prince Jia Mingluo, far exceeded the battle in the underground lake against those six people.

The power that he slowly couldn’t control due to his cultivation improving was now slowly returning to its peak. He was able to accurately control each bit of power, using it according to his heart!

As compared to the perfectly calm Zong Shou, Prince Jia Mingluo was anxious.

His eyes filled with rage, vital energy burning as he climbed toward his peak.

His strength was obviously much higher, but he was just a little away from killing his opponent!

Suddenly, a gold and silver light flew out. A cold bone-chilling killing intent rose up in his eyes.

He knew that these were Zong Shou’s Spiritual Pets. He also had such Protector Beasts.

However, although his beasts were stronger, they couldn’t fly and move as fast.

He didn’t know what breed they were. Although one was Grade Eight and one was Grade Nine, even his two most beloved God Beast subspecies were much slower.

These two beasts were spectating the battle between the Gantian Monster King and him.

Most of the time they were below, slaughtering his army.

Every four to six hours, they would carry many of Zong Shou’s Race Souls and fly to him.

Suddenly, the Gantian Mountain Monster King’s strength would increase. The strength of his spells would often double!
