Chapter 580: Fallen into a Trap

The center of the Celestial Pass Mountain Range.

A group of generals followed behind Ye Wushuang, heading toward a temporary clearing.

Before they even entered, the generals felt a pungent, bloody stench and a chilling, murderous aura wash over them!

In the clearing stood rows of soldiers clad in cyan Battle Armor, all of which was soaked in blood!

Every soldier's eyes were filled with a vicious glint, like a pack of savage, starving wolves ready to tear their enemies apart at any moment.

Their bodies were covered in wounds, yet they stood ramrod straight without a single groan, like a forest of Heaven-Slaying Divine Spears!

Only when Ye Wushuang appeared did their heads finally turn toward him.

In that instant, the eyes of the generals following Ye Wushuang froze!

They were utterly shaken to their core!

Those bloodshot, crimson eyes, like those of Demons from Hell, stared at them with an intensity that made them shudder!

'Is this still the Lingxiao Army?'

The generals simply couldn't believe that the men before them were the newly established Lingxiao Army!

"Sir!"

Feng Jue, at the front, stepped forward as a demonic aura erupted from his body!

"How did it go?"

Ye Wushuang asked, his expression as calm and serene as a clear sky.

"Throughout the ten thousand li of the Celestial Pass Mountain Range, all powerful Demon Beasts have been purged, and the Beastman Empire's troops have been annihilated. Not a single threat remains. The Lingxiao Army has succeeded!!"

Feng Jue's voice was low, but it brimmed with the confidence of a mission accomplished!

The Lingxiao Army has succeeded!

At these words, all the Lingxiao Army soldiers behind him lifted their heads and puffed out their chests, their sharp auras on full display!

In less than ten days, they had accomplished a task that others thought impossible. As the newly formed Lingxiao Army, they had done it, and every single one of them was proud!

This pride was completely unconcealed!

Tempered by blood and battle, every soldier had grown. The fighting made them feel that life was more than just tedious Cultivation; it made them feel that being alive had meaning!

"You've worked hard!"

Ye Wushuang turned his head to face the Lingxiao Army and shouted in a resonant voice.

"Lingxiao Army!"

"Lingxiao Army!"

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

Instantly, the Lingxiao Army soldiers roared, their voices high and clear, filled with confidence and pride!

Their momentum shook the heavens and their Battle Intent soared to the sky. The murderous aura formed storms in the air, sweeping across the land in every direction!

The sound echoed throughout the Celestial Pass Mountain Range, causing the soldiers of the Celestial Wolf Army to turn their gazes toward its source. They were deeply shaken, and even they could feel their blood beginning to boil.

This was the cry of victory every soldier longed to shout!

Yangg Yan and the other generals were also inwardly shocked!

They couldn't believe this group of men before them. The primal wildness and bloodlust hidden within their bodies had been completely unleashed!

"The Lingxiao Army has truly become an army of slaughter. What could turn a newly formed unit of recruits into such a force so quickly?"

Yangg Yan muttered to himself, voicing the question on everyone's mind.

"The soul of the army. Once an army has a soul, it can become invincible!"

Feng Jue's words answered the question for Yangg Yan and the others.

Within the Lingxiao Army were several hundred loyal members of the Lingxiao Pavilion. Their soul was Ye Wushuang!

Once this soul was infused into the Lingxiao Army, its potential for growth became limitless!

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

The Lingxiao Army soldiers shouted again, their eyes fixed on Ye Wushuang. They had achieved such glory all because of the Lingxiao Pavilion, because of Ye Wushuang!

At that, Yangg Yan and the other generals also looked at Ye Wushuang. The Lingxiao Army wasn't cheering for anyone else—it was for Ye Wushuang!

"Lingxiao Army, one day, you will surely become the invincible force of the Grand Emperor Domain, sweeping across the eight wildernesses! Do you have the confidence?"

Ye Wushuang was also filled with heroic spirit. To ride to the ends of the earth and wield his sword across the world—this had once been his dream!

"We do!"

"An invincible force!"

"Sweep across the Grand Emperor Domain!"

The Lingxiao Army roared, their shouts resonant and powerful, shaking the heavens and the earth. Every soldier was surging with Battle Intent, no longer looking like green recruits in the slightest!

'This is the Lingxiao Army I wanted!'

Ye Wushuang nodded, very satisfied with how Feng Jue had fulfilled his promise!

Afterward, Ye Wushuang had the Lingxiao Army reorganize while the vast resources of the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop were provided to them.

After experiencing battle, they had settled and accumulated a great deal. With another push, breaking through to new levels would be effortless!

Every soldier's strength and Combat Power increased dramatically.

This made the soldiers of the Celestial Wolf Army extremely envious!

At the same time, it also ignited the competitive spirit of the Celestial Wolf Army. Unwilling to appear weak, they all began to train vigorously!

"By the way, what was the deal with that Beastman Army ten thousand li away?"

Ye Wushuang asked Feng Jue.

"It's a decoy army, with powerful experts backing them up from behind."

Feng Jue replied, startling Yangg Yan and the other generals, who couldn't help but look toward Ye Wushuang.

"Sir is truly as prescient as a god. We are in awe!"

Immediately, the generals all cupped their fists toward Ye Wushuang. If he hadn't stopped them earlier, they feared they would have fallen into the trap.

'I wonder if Qian Heng would blush if he found out?'

The generals sneered inwardly.

"Sir, this is bad! Qian Heng has taken five thousand men to attack that Beastman Army."

Just as Ye Wushuang was returning to his tent, a soldier rushed over and reported anxiously.

"What!"

At his side, Yangg Yan became furious.

The other generals' expressions also changed drastically. Knowing there was an ambush, charging in was pure suicide!

"How long has he been gone?"

Ye Wushuang's brow furrowed as well.

"Sir, Captain Qian Heng left half an hour ago," the soldier reported.

"Take the Lingxiao Army and let's go see!"

Ye Wushuang said no more. Understanding the danger, he gave the order and strode outside.

Ten thousand li beyond the Celestial Pass Mountain Range, a troop of the Beastman Army was leisurely milling about.

On a hilltop stood a red-haired youth, his body radiating a monstrous demonic aura as he gazed down at the Beastman Army below.

"Lord Mor Yan, a unit of the Celestial Wolf Army is approaching. Should we attack?"

A Profound Level Beastman general beside him asked cautiously.

"Don't be hasty. Since we're fishing, we must be patient. The fish isn't on the hook yet. We don't want to spook them!"

Mor Yan said lightly, but his mind recalled that figure in purple.

'Ye Wushuang, I have now obtained the body of a Red Demon Celestial Demon and a Half-Demon bloodline! What do you have to fight me with? I will make you pay a terrible price!'

"Kill!"

With a great roar from Qian Heng, the Celestial Wolf Army charged out swiftly on their Gale Demon Wolves, surrounding the wandering Beastman Army troops as endless energy attacks rained down on them.

In an instant, the Beastman Army suffered countless casualties and was forced into a steady retreat!

"Kill them! Annihilate every last one!"

Qian Heng pressed his advantage, a cold sneer on his face. 'Ye Wushuang, I'll show you just how incompetent you are!'

"Captain, don't pursue a cornered enemy! We need to retreat!"

Some of the generals shouted, after all, if they went any further, they would reach the border of the Beastman Empire!

"Bastards! Our army's morale is soaring! How dare you obstruct me? Anyone who takes a single step back will be executed without mercy!"

Qian Heng barked coldly, his voice dripping with killing intent. The Celestial Wolf Army soldiers quickly resumed their pursuit.

Seeing this, the corner of Mor Yan's mouth curled into a cold smile as he uttered a single, icy word: "Kill!"

BOOM!

The experts who had been lying in wait and the ambushing army seized the opportunity to strike!

BOOM!

Terrifying, deadly attacks rained down from the void. Caught off guard by the sudden assault, the Celestial Wolf Army instantly suffered innumerable casualties!

"It's an ambush! Retreat, retreat!"

Seeing this, the faces of the Celestial Wolf Army soldiers changed dramatically.

"How could this happen? How... Dammit!" Qian Heng's face drained of color as he felt the powerful Beastman experts descending to kill them.

"All of you, hold them back for me! Hold them back! If you dare retreat a single step, you'll be executed without mercy! I'm going back to get reinforcements!"

Qian Heng roared, then leaped through the air and rapidly retreated!

"Qian Heng, you bastard! Aaargh!"

Behind him, the soldiers of the Celestial Wolf Army were slaughtered one by one, dying with unwillingness in their hearts!
