Tang Tian gazed upon the amount of stone gravel beasts that covered the mountains and plains and could not help being surprised: “This fellow is crazy!”
Only Tang Tian was acting very normal, but the rest had ugly faces. Regardless of whether it was Ling Xu or Crane, looking upon the amount of stone gravel beasts, their faces were incomparably weird.
The scene of the stone gravel beasts attacking the village last time, compared to the scene in front of them currently, was considered negligible.
The stone gravel beasts in front of them, there was no end to them. Condensed and close to each other, they were literally a sea of stones. The speed of the stone gravel beasts was not fast, but the number of them was astonishing, as they huddled together slowly, it was terrifying.
Xie Qing’s face was shocked beyond shock, his voice trembling: “There must be at least a hundred thousand of those things!”
Hundred thousand…
Everyone’s face was even paler.
The individual strength of a stone gravel beast was nothing much, not one of them feared that, even if the Stone Gravel Beast King was here, everyone was not afraid.
But, a hundred thousand….
This terrifying number, immediately caused people to choke in despair. A hundred thousand stone gravel beasts, it was sufficient to wipe out an entire planet, it was impossible for some sword village to stop this tide.
Even for Bing who had been through the great big army era, he was currently quiet, no one was as clear as him, this large amount of cannon fodder, was sufficient to crush everything in its path.
Compared to the Golems, their powers were too weak.
The only thing to be glad about, was the Xie Qing and the rest found out about the situation early. Following the speed of the stone gravel beast horde movement, it would take them roughly 10 days for them to reach the Xie Family sword village.
“Think of a way to withdraw.” Bing suddenly said: “We still have time to adjust, and leave this place.”
Xie Qing bit his lips tightly, sadness showing in his eyes: “We are guardian swordsmen, we cannot leave.”
“If you don’t leave, you will all die.” Bing was rough with his words.
“Magic Flute is coming!” Tang Tian rejoiced, and everyone’s face had a tinge of hope, it was Magic Flute’s melody that caused the Blind Chord Old Man to retreat the last time.
And if Blind Chord Old Man could control the stone gravel beast horde, then Magic Flute could control them too.
Magic Flute who was rushing back, upon seeing the horde of stone gravel beasts, his face changed.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The lady in black looked at Blind Chord Old Man in respect. She feared and respected this blind man.
When she suffered a defeat the last time, she lost all her confidence in her battle techniques. In front of experts, those stone gravel beasts were like pieces of paper. They had no effects on her.
But she never thought the Blind Chord Old Man would utilize the same battle strategy but this time, he found more stone gravel beasts. Luck was on their side. There were so many stone gravel beasts in this region and under the lead of the stone gravel beast king, they had completely gathered almost all of the stone gravel beasts within a thousands of kilometres radius.
But…
The lady in black thought about the melodious tune and could not help but said; “Master, if the sound type martial artist comes again…”
The reason why the Blind Chord Old Man could control so many stone gravel beasts was because of his sound type techniques. His opponent had an outstanding sound type martial artist too. From the last sparring session, the Blind Chord Old Man did not have the upper hand.
Such reckless and crazy actions resulted in her respecting Blind Chord Old Man but still, she did not understand.
Seated on the wheelchair, the Blind Chord Old Man would tug on his arc moustache time and time again. To control the stone gravel beasts, he would open his mouth slowly and allow his hoarse voice to resonate in the air.
“I know what you mean but, you don’t have to worry.” the Blind Chord Old Man suddenly revealed an eerie smile: “the opponent sound type martial artist might be much powerful than me in terms of powers. I’m indeed in awe. Do you still remember what I said that day?”
The lady in black replied carefully: “you said to the tune that you will not move any weapons today.”
“Haha, that’s right! You remembered it clearly!” the Blind Chord Old Man laughed: “weapons, are battles. In battles, you naturally have to look for the weak points in your opponents. My powers in sound type techniques might not be on par with him but it isn’t that he has no flaws. When I listened carefully to his tune, the opponent’s sound type martial technique was perfect but he did not have sufficient Qi. that clearly indicated that his true power is very weak.”
“True power is very weak?” the lady in black was shocked. She did not hear it at all.
“The melodious tune was perfect but it could not cover the fact that his qi was not enough. If i didn’t guess wrongly, the opponent must have sustained a great injury before and has yet to recover.” the Blind Chord Old Man endowed with such great intelligence and smirked: “Without true power, all your martial techniques would be nothing. That applies to sound type martial techniques. I won’t spar with him in terms of techniques. I’ll compete true power with him. With so many stone gravel beasts, how is he going to fight with me?”
With that, a ferocious Qi came through.
At this point in time, the lady in black finally understood.
She felt a chill down her spine. Indeed, to make it into the Heaven’s Road List, one must be heartless.
But, Tang Tian…
Suddenly, the lady in black remembered the incident earlier as to how Lyra Treasury flew out into the sky and she was infuriated.
This time, I will make sure you die in my hands!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
While everyone looked on with expectations, Magic Flute shook his head: “The opponent saw through me that I have yet to recover and I do not have enough true power. He’s coming for me.”
Magic Flute’s explanation caused everyone to fall silent.
“Other than moving out, I’m afraid there is no other way.” Bing said calmly. He was not anxious. From his perspective, whether or not Xie Qing and the others moved was the Xie Family’s matters. He only needed to ensure the safety of Tang Tian.
They had Heavenly Steed Carriage. It would be easy for them if they wanted to leave. Although these stone gravel beasts looked terrifying but they were not fast enough. If they wanted to escape, these stone gravel beasts would definitely not be able to catch up.
Xie Qing remained quiet.
Tang Tian suddenly said: “Uncle Flute, how did they get to control so many stone gravel beasts?”
Magic Flute was slightly taken aback. But since Tang Tian asked, he better explained it properly: “Usually, for a small amount of them, they could use sound type techniques to directly control them. If there were many of them, then we just have to choose a few leaders, and let them control the rest. The more star spirit beasts we have to control, the more demanding it would take for true power.”
Tang Tian noted: “I understand, Stone Gravel Beast King!”
“Mmhmm.” Magic Flute nodded: “Observe these stone gravel beasts carefully and you’ll realize they are actually in herds. Each herd will be led by a Stone Gravel Beast King.”
Tang Tian started counting: “One, two, three…”
But very quickly, Tang Tian was in a blur: “Eh, where was I?”
Crane could not help but blurt: “there are a total of 26.”
“Good job, Crane young man!” Tang Tian was excited: “That means, there are a total of 26 Stone Gravel Beast Kings! Uncle flute, if we eliminate all these 26 Stone Gravel Beast Kings, how many stone gravel beasts can he control?”
Everyone was stunned, they were all caught off guard by Tang Tian’s idea.
Magic Flute was completely dumbfounded then he realized: “absolutely impossible for him!”
“That means we just need to eliminate 26 Stone Gravel Beast Kings!” Tang Tian cheered.
Nobody bothered with him.
Ling Xu shot him down: “Hey, crazy young man, why did you stop your treatment? Idiot! Out of the over a hundred thousand of stone gravel beasts, you’re going to kill 26 Stone Gravel Beast Kings. Are you tired of living?”
No one said a word but obviously, everyone thought this idea was absurd.
“But, don’t you think 26 as compared to the over a hundred thousand of the stone gravel beasts is a lot less?” Tang Tian looked at the others in a daze.
26 as compared to over a hundred thousand…
Everyone was speechless at Tang Tian’s reasons.
Just as Ling Xu was about to mock Tang Tian suddenly, Bing supported him: “He’s right!”
Tang Tian shot a look at Ling Xu arrogantly.
With a bountiful of experience, Bing was the first to see the potential in Tang Tian’s plan.
That’s right , it would not be an easy task to kill 26 Stone Gravel Beast Kings amongst the over a hundred thousand stone gravel beasts but the difficulty of it had immediately gone down from ‘completely impossible’ to ‘extremely tough’. It might not seemed like a huge difference but Bing knew, there were obvious differences between the two.
Bing was flabbergasted. This rascal’s insights were superb!
Looking at Tang Tian’s arrogant face, there was not an ounce of an expert’s deposition. Yet, Bing did not feel a tad bit of weakness. It was not the first time such a thing happened.
If he said it again, it could just be sheer luck. But for his insight to appear a few times, and still think it was Tang Tian’s luck, Bing would never make such a dumb mistake.
This rascal…
“We don’t have a lot of manpower but that’s also to our advantage.” Bing supported, which encouraged Tang Tian furthermore. Feeling energetic, he counted his knuckles: “We can be more agile, more active. Uncle Bing, Ling Xu, Crane, Xie Qing and there’s me too. That’s five in total. On an average, we just need to kill 5 stone gravel beast kings…”
“No, we do not need to use so much.” Magic Flute cut off Tang Tian’s words: “You just have to kill one stone gravel beast king, if the opponent wishes to control a horde, then it means he has to directly control around 4000 of them. This kind of pressure, will deplete his True Power quickly. As long as you get rid of 5, with such a large number, it will become a mess. If you can get rid of 10, then the army will crumble, and begin to kill each other.”
Magic Flute’s smile was slightly cold: “He will know very soon, that he is playing with fire.”
Tang Tian muttered to himself, Uncle Flute was angry.
Hearing magic Flute’s thoughts, everyone was shocked.
Getting rid of five Stone Gravel Beast Kings, the opponent would sink into confusion, which means each of them had to kill one Stone Gravel Beast King. To kill 10, the army will collapse, that means that everyone of them had to kill two Stone Gravel Beast Kings.
Their objective, from being unattainable, quickly became within reach.
Crane glanced at Tang Tian, feeling surprised. Just as everyone was prepared to give up, at a time where no one could find the solution, this person who did not seem very clever, could actually find an opportunity….
Was that coincidence?
“Victory!”
Crane’s train of thoughts were interrupted. When he looked up, he saw Tang Tian cheering with his hands held high.
Everyone who was suppressing it, saw the looks of victory on Tang Tian’s face. Coupled with his cheers and energy, everyone started raising their hands up high, cheering in unison.
“Victory!”
The sunlight shone on their arms like forest.
