Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily-Chapter 166 - 164: Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood

Chapter 166: Chapter 164: Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood

Liu Dingsheng furrowed his brow.

He had planned a relatively safe route out of the city, but he was not a divine calculator and couldn’t foresee all situations on the road.

"How many are there?"

"At least three thousand cavalry. I suspect we’ve run into the cavalry camp sent by the Second Prince!" said the scout.

"Change the route, avoid them." Liu Dingsheng decisively ordered as he looked at Liu Ziwen.

"Yes!"

The convoy immediately took a small mountain path, full of loose stones, making the carriage shake violently and unable to move quickly.

Song Changming had an ominous premonition at this moment.

As expected.

Before long, the sound of pursuing cavalry came from behind.

Song Changming turned around to see numerous cavalrymen in black armor roaring towards them, filling the narrow mountain path.

Roughly estimating, there were at least several hundred cavalry in pursuit.

"Kill!"

Without unnecessary words, the opponent came aggressively, specially sending people to chase them; this battle was destined to be unavoidable!

All the martial artists in the convoy drew their weapons, actively meeting the several hundred cavalry.

The cavalry, upon seeing this, immediately pulled the triggers of their crossbows, and a barrage of crossbow arrows began to shoot forth.

"Ping’an, protect the carriage!" Song Changming immediately said.

"Don’t worry, Brother Song!" Song Ping’an stood by the carriage, attentively nodding with firm assurance.

Since the Dragon Transformation Pearl enhanced his martial Tao aptitude, his body refining cultivation and martial arts mastery had improved rapidly, as if suddenly enlightened.

Now, after more than half a year, he was already a Fourth Realm martial artist, with considerable strength.

Placed within the Patrol Armor Bureau, not many Patrol Captains would be his match.

After Song Changming gave his instructions, he turned to meet the charging cavalry.

Dahuang and White followed behind him, baring their teeth fiercely, revealing their ferocious side.

A crossbow arrow shot towards him, and Song Changming casually caught it, flinging it back.

The arrow instantly pierced through a cavalryman clad in armor.

"Dahuang, White, just kill, don’t eat people!"

Song Changming instructed the two fierce dogs beside him.

Receiving the order, the two dogs barked and rushed out, pouncing on the cavalry, causing chaos within.

The horses, seeing the two pouncing large dogs, seemed to encounter their nemesis, suppressed by bloodlines, panicked, became uncontrollable.

The cavalry, unable to handle these two large dogs, found their long spears and sabers could only at most scratch the dogs’ fur, as if tickling them.

Without Eight Realm combat power or wielding divine weapons, breaking through the two dogs Song Changming raised was virtually impossible.

Amongst the entire cavalry, as Song Changming observed, only the leading cavalry officer had a Seventh Realm combat power, being suppressed by Liu Ziwen.

There were also several generals with Fifth and Sixth Realm body refining combat power; the other cavalrymen, while martial artists, only had Second and Third Realm body refining cultivation.

On this narrow mountain path, the cavalry lost the charge power they possessed on a vast plain, facing this group of martial artists with no advantage.

Not even needing Song Changming to take action, Liu Dingsheng’s assembled escort team consisted of none ordinary, all with above Fifth Realm cultivation strength in the Jianghu.

Therefore, after blocking the cavalry’s charge, it became a one-sided slaughter.

But soon the situation changed.

Upon learning the pursuing cavalry suffered heavy losses, at least another two thousand cavalry raced from behind.

The vast numerical disadvantage made the defense line built by the escort team on the mountain path precarious.

Reluctantly, the carriage had to move ahead, while the others tried to hold off this cavalry team as much as possible.

Liu Ziwen struck down the Seventh Realm strength officer with one blow, but as he was about to kill, a spear thrust forcibly towards him.

Liu Ziwen’s expression changed drastically; the spear came fiercely, with immense momentum.

He only had time to turn his blade to deflect the spear.

The next moment, the spearhead knocked away his blade, pierced his shoulder bone directly, lifting him into the air.

Liu Ziwen inwardly cried out that he was about to fall; beside him was a cliff edge.

However, the officer didn’t throw him off the cliff but slammed him to the ground.

The tremendous force struck, making Liu Ziwen vomit blood, feeling severely internally injured, filled with pain.

Just one strike injured him, revealing the officer’s formidable strength.

No doubt, his opponent was an Extreme Realm powerhouse!

The spear fell again, seemingly about to pin Liu Ziwen to the ground.

At the critical moment, a hand reached out and grasped the spear handle firmly.

The spear tip pressed against Liu Ziwen’s chest, but hesitated to strike.

"Changming!" Seeing Song Changming standing before him, Liu Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Narrowly escaping death made him break into a cold sweat, and he immediately warned.

"This person must be a General Fei under the Second Prince!"

Clearly, the person before them was also a prominent figure, and based on their strength, they could draw conclusions.

Song Changming nodded slightly, saying nothing.

He grasped the iron spear, as immovable as a mountain.

On the other side, the Commander of this thousand-strong cavalry team, originally arrogant, showed a hint of shock, staring at Song Changming.

"Innate Divine Power?!"

He had already exerted all his strength, but still couldn’t pull out the long spear from his hand.

Meanwhile, Song Changming felt the strength transmitted from the spear, gaining a sense of certainty, and his palm tightened its grip further, his arm bursting with effort, forcibly pulling the opponent from the horse.

The opponent had no choice but to abandon the long spear, drawing the sword from his waist to slash at Song Changming!

Song Changming did not draw his sword, he directly took the opponent’s long spear, and swung his arm down heavily.

No technique, no spear technique to speak of, it was purely brute force swinging.

The air echoed with a booming sound, a single strike of the spear directly broke the General Fei’s sword-wielding arm, sending him flying, crashing into several of his own cavalry’s horses.

Song Changming assessed that the opponent’s strength was similar to Xiong Dang Mountain’s back then.

Back when Song Changming confronted Xiong Dang Mountain, the battle was not easy, but now facing this General Fei, he could handle it with ease.

He didn’t even need to use martial arts, relying solely on his brute strength to leave the opponent helpless, turning him into a punching bag.

Extreme Realm martial artists are also classified in grades.

In his eyes, the young master of Fengxue Manor counted as the top-level extreme realm, having opened the Nether Sea, mastered martial techniques, with supreme strength.

And the extreme realm strength of this General before him was naturally also very strong compared to other martial artists.

But in Song Changming’s eyes, it was somewhat lacking.

Currently, Song Changming is not only at Bone Forging Extreme Realm, but his other body refining skills have also reached the Eighth Realm, not far from the true Body Refining Great Perfection.

This is also a major reason for his ability to crush the opponent.

"General!"

Several generals rushed to aid but couldn’t hinder Song Changming in the slightest.

A sweep of the long spear sent these generals flying aside.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the General Fei held his broken arm and tried to retreat, but was ultimately struck back again by Song Changming, the spear tip poised at his throat.

"If you want to live, have your soldiers stand down!" Song Changming said in a deep voice.

"You mere Jianghu rabble want to make me submit! Soldiers, slaughter them all today!" The General, seeing no escape, wasn’t afraid to die, not begging Song Changming for mercy.

Instead, he ordered his soldiers to kill without mercy.

He clearly intended to stand and die.

Song Changming’s eyes instantly turned cold, "Since you want your soldiers to accompany you in death, I’ll grant your wish."

Saying that, Song Changming felt no inclination to negotiate further, and with a burst of strength, stabbed the spear through the opponent’s throat.

With no armor to obstruct, it penetrated directly, blood flowing endlessly.

Just like that, an extreme realm powerhouse fell in Song Changming’s hands, without even forming a fierce battle, just being slain one-sidedly.

With the death of the General, his orders still took effect, driving the remaining soldiers to charge fearlessly.

Facing the encirclement of nearly two thousand cavalry, Song Changming released the unfamiliar long spear and drew his Dragon Pattern Saber anew.

Today was destined for a massacre!

More than an hour later.

On the mountain path, the last few dozen riders fled in disarray, abandoning their final resistance.

Amid a sea of corpses and blood, dozens of figures still stood.

Though exhausted, covered in blood and grime, looking on the verge of collapse, at least they had all survived to the end.

Their weapons mostly had severely worn blades, who knew how many people each of them had slain today!

By the largest and tallest mountain of corpses, two ferocious, blood-soaked canine beasts stood menacingly, silently guarding.

On top of the corpse mountain, Song Changming stood quietly, watching the last enemies flee in terror, shattered.

He himself wasn’t too badly off, with not much blood on him, save for some damage to his clothing, and not many visible injuries.

Only the Dragon Pattern Saber in his hand, bright and red, with two dragon patterns still distinctly eye-catching.
