Chapter 659: Chapter 645: Final Battle (15)

“Wouldn’t it be enough to prevent these Fierce Realm fighters from directly confronting the allied forces’ Martial Ancestors?” Xiao Qi thought naturally.

A hammer has its uses, and wood has its place. Despite the lack of solidity amongst these Fierce Realm inhabitants, their level of cultivation cannot be underestimated. If used properly, they’re still a force to be reckoned with.

“The Martial Ancestors from the Tang Clan are too tired,” Xiao Jinlin interrupted Xiao Qi’s wild thoughts. The reason seemed legitimate and undeniable, “The duration of this massive battle is equal to the length of the Tang Clan’s Combat Ancestors’ fighting time. With their clan members behind them, each of the Tang Clan Martial Ancestors has been fighting to their limits. Minor wounds are healed with medicinal pills to stimulate vitality, while severe injuries require the use of Xuanji Jade. They have to sustain their stamina at thrice the rate of the Mi Clan’s allied forces to withstand their fierce attack.”

“Moreover, the main forces of the Mi Clan are stalling the Tang Clan at Baoding Mountain. Even if the Tang Clan had the strength to counterattack, they would instead utilize it to support the Tang Clan enshrines. But I believe the possibility of the Tang Clan having extra strength is minimal.”

“After all, Fierce Realm warriors are not made of iron. Even Tang Sen has suffered severe injuries, let alone the other Martial Ancestors of the Tang Clan. After this battle, many of the Tang Clan’s Martial Ancestors will advance into the decline period ahead, and their hope for breakthroughs will be gone forever.”

“Why is the pill that nourishes vitality always more expensive than the pill that extracts vitality, despite the latter being an immediate lifeline?”

“Because every warrior knows that an individual’s vitality is finite. Healing wounds with pills that speed up recovery can’t possibly be without costs.”

“Yet, confrontation is always an unchanging rhythm for warriors. When on the brink of death due to severe injuries, who cares if the pill is draining one’s vitality?”

“After this battle, Xiao Jinlin can affirm that these prime Tang Clan Martial Ancestors will lose a lot.”

“Now, do you still think that merely killing half of the stationed army in Dayou Mountain is fulfilling our obligation towards the allies?”

Xiao Qi shook his head, suppressing his itching impulse to fight and refringed from glancing at the lake.

“Just as Xiao Jinlin said, I wanted to overthrow the original plan and take action now because I thought the overall situation is settled. But after listening to these explanations, I realized the war is far from over.”

Xiao father and son stood on a protruding rock near the cliff, silently watching the sunrise from the east.

…

In the battlefield of Baoding Mountain

The allied army, who had stabilized their position, gathered together under the protection of their martial ancestors, and the infuriated martial ancestors began their counterattack, casualties among Fierce Realm warriors of various cities and tribes began to surface. frёeωebɳovel.com

Just like Xiao Jinlin said, unorganized Fierce Realm teams and Xiling’s prestigious martial ancestor teams’ major difference was their combined attack.

A Fierce Realm team without a combined attack lost its decisive killing power and could only win through slowly accumulating advantages.

For the allied forces’ martial ancestors, fighting back with cycles of Xuan-level combined attacks was their significant counter to these wolves. For these Fierce Realm warriors who don’t possess the Xuanji Jade, every emergence of a combined attack meant severe injuries or direct death.”

They came to earn a living, not to fight desperately. They thought they would be fighting against miscellaneous martial ancestors like them, but they were slapped in the face by a joint attack. Many Fierce Realm fighters were shocked.

Generally, if a Fierce Realm team that possesses combined attacks were to be presented, it must be a prestigious clan with a high ranked Xuan-level technique.

Such powerful groups are not rare, but what is terrifying is that all these Fierce Realm fighters, despite possessing different techniques, can form a combined attack.”

These foreign fighters who came to earn a living by collecting supernatural persona heads suddenly dared not look directly at the corpses scattered on the ground. They could only feel that they had stirred up a catastrophe and lost all desire to continue fighting.

Many of them tried their best to hide their techniques and started to retreat.

Against the Fierce Realm fighters who are desperate to escape, the allied forces’ Martial Ancestors also had no intention of pursuing them since their priority was to escort their clan members back to safety.

Of course, not everyone thought the same. For instance, Cao Xiong, the patriarch of the Cao Family, attempted to prevent them from retreating several times.”

“Gentlemen, please hear me out. The allied army has stabilized their formation, and the enshrines of the Tang Clan who came to their aid have been dragged to southern sky by the reinforcements from the Mi Clan. This is not the time to retreat from attacking Baoding Mountain!”

“While we are with Tang Clan’s base camp in Baoding Mountain, we’ve already won the war. If we retreat now, reclaiming control over the North Mountain will be as difficult as scaling the heavens.”

“We are fated to suffer vast losses in this unavoidable war with the Tang Clan, which can only be ended with either side’s defeat. Gentlemen, please reconsider.”

If this was said by another military leader, the effect would have been remarkable. However, coming from Cao Xiong, it instantly enraged another military leader.

“How many fighters have your Cao Family deployed this time to attack the Tang Clan? Do you know out of the two thousand family members I brought here, only six hundred survived? And Bai Ling and the others are dead! Dead! Do you understand!!” Bai Qi took a step forward, glaring at Cao Xiong. Their noses nearly touched, and the enraged mountain leader yelled at Cao Xiong.

As one of the first to be mobilized in front of Baoding Mountain, Bai Qi’s Bai Family warriors suffered significant losses. He followed Mi Hai to Baoding Mountain to aid Mi Tianxin and left behind only a team of ordinary martial ancestors at the base camp.

They encountered a sneak attack by two enshrines of the Tang Clan. Even before they had a chance to use the Xuanji Jade, they were massacred in the radiating golden light pillar.

Despite the losses to the Bai Family, Cao Xiong still didn’t think it was a good time to retreat. He took a step back from the furious Bai Qi, raised his hands in placation, and tried to reason, “It’s precisely because Bai Ling and the others have died that you should attack Baoding Mountain for revenge, not retreat.”

“Of course I will avenge the members of the Bai Family!” Bai Qi clenely said through gritted teeth, “After escorting my people back, I will return. I will repay twofold what the Tang Clan did to the Bai Family!”

Now the situation in North Mountain is no longer suitable for supernatural recluses to stay any longer. This place will soon become a hunting ground for the Fierce Realm. Bai Qi, who has already lost most of his people, is focused on sending the remaining members back.

“When you’ve returned after escorting your men, you would have missed the best time to defeat the Tang Clan. Please reconsider, Brother Bai!”

Because of the Corpse Refiner method he practiced, Cao Xiong always carried a greenish hue on his stiff face, and even his tone seemed cold due to the method. Normally it would be taken as a unique characteristic, but at this time, his cold tone easily ignited others’ anger.

“Stop it!” Bai Qi roared again, “How could someone like you, who practices the Corpse technique, know the pain of losing clan members? If you’re so eager to fight, why didn’t you bring the Cao Clan members to North Mountain?”

“That’s right!” Pan Bing, the Dragon Horn Mountain leader, coldly stated, “You, Cao Xiong, are also a clan leader but yet you did not bring any of your clan members to participate in the battle. Did you know this would happen?”
