Chapter 660: Ji Xueyan’s Confession in the Asura Arena
Before he joined the army at the border, his name was Lei Ming. He was originally from the True Dragon Palace. His whole family died in the hands of Qin Jiangong. Later, he was saved by Zhang Ronghua. He opened his Dantian with his Sea of Qi and re-entered the martial arts world. According to the instructions, he went to the border to join the army. He couldn’t use his original name, otherwise, the True Dragon Palace wouldn’t let him go. No matter how high his position was, they would capture him and take revenge for Qin Jiangong. He took the word Zhang as his surname, which meant that he would never forget the kindness of saving his life. He took the word” Lei” in his name. Then, he destroyed his appearance and used some methods to get a new identity card to join the border army.
The border had never been peaceful. Although there were no major wars, small-scale battles were constant. They had to fight a few times a day. They started as soldiers, killing enemies while cultivating. With the cultivation of the grandmaster realm, coupled with the fact that they had killed enough people and made enough military achievements, they had been promoted to the current general of the Krupp Breaking Army, from the fifth rank to the general of the miscellaneous title.
With his position, he was not qualified to command 10,000 soldiers. Last night, the general and his guards were assassinated by the spies of the Shang Dynasty. When they arrived with their men, although they captured the spy, he was already dead. He became the highest-ranking general in Wangtian County. He had no choice but to take over the army and plan the overall situation.
On the city wall.
Zhang Ming was leading the team. The deputy generals and county magistrates stood on both sides of the team. They looked forward with worried expressions. In the dark night, torches were lit up and they formed a square formation. They quickly approached. From the number of torches and the sound of heavy footsteps, the people present were all experienced in the battlefield. They immediately estimated that there were nearly 40,000 people. The vanguard army of the Shang Dynasty had all been mobilized. The countv magistrate’s name was Yang Yuan. He was a scholar. He was thirty-eight this year and was in his prime. His heart sank. His eyes were solemn as he said solemnly,” He’s here!”
Zhang Ming was under even more pressure than he was. Although the Shang
Dynasty’s main army, experts, and most of the spiritual creatures were at the Black Dragon Road, and the general of the vanguard was about the same level as him, the enemy had twice as many soldiers. It would be more difficult to stop their attacks and the Fire Thunder Beads than to climb to the sky. He held the saber in his hand firmly, without any fear or panic. He ordered in a deep voice,” Open the formation!”
The deputy general waved his hand, and a formation soared into the sky, protecting the entire county city. Azure spiritual light circulated, and the defensive power was maximized.
“Are the feys and city defense weapons ready?” asked Zhang Ming.
“Ready!”
“Whether we can survive or not depends on when the reinforcements from the state capital arrive! If the will of the heavens wants to destroy us, before we die, we must ruthlessly bite off a piece of meat from their bodies!”
They were on guard. As time passed, the Shang army got closer and closer.
When they were less than a hundred steps away, Zhou Yuanba drew his sword. His face was fierce and his killing intent soared. He roared,” Kill!”
He jumped down from the stirrels and used his movement technique, leaving behind an afterimage as he took the lead and rushed towards the city wall.
The 40,000 troops and the martial artists in the army followed closely behind.
The killing intent soared into the sky and shook the sky, forming a huge air wave that scattered the dark clouds in the night sky. Wave after wave, it could not stop at all.
Fight!” Zhang Ming pulled out his saber fearlessly. He circulated his internal energy and roared,” Fight!”
The feys were the first to be thrown out from the hands of the soldiers on the city wall. Soon after, the city defense equipment, arrow rain, catapults, kerosene, and so on were all thrown down.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions sounded out one after another. The Shang army, which was the fastest to charge forward, suffered heavy casualties. They continued to charge forward, not taking a single step back. They wanted to seize this place before
the reinforcements from Great Xia arrived and welcome the reinforcements that would arrive later.
If not…
Zhou Yuanba wasn’t in such a hurry. He had just arrived here not long ago and hadn’t rested or replenished his spiritual items. He had rushed over with his army. When he arrived, he didn’t use any schemes or tricks. He simply and crudely ordered the siege. He was seizing time.
The Shang army retaliated with Fire Thunder Beads, other feys, and siege machines. They bombarded the city defense formation. Faced with such a brutal attack, the formation trembled violently, and spiritual light rippled violently. From the looks of it, it wouldn’t last long before it was destroyed.
Fifteen minutes later.
As more than a hundred Fire Thunder Beads were thrown down, the formation could no longer hold on. It shattered and turned into a wave of air that swept out in all directions. The nearby soldiers could not dodge in time and were killed. Blood rained down on the ground. Without the operation of the formation, it could no longer stop the Shang army and martial artists from attacking the city.
With a tap of his foot, Zhou Yuanba led the experts of the army up the city wall and charged at Zhang Ming. He wanted to kill the leader first and then control the entire Wangtian County.
Zhang Ming’s face was cold and his gaze was fierce. He could no longer suppress his anger. He raised the saber in his hand.” Follow me and kill!”
With a stomp, a terrifying aura and killing intent rushed out. It exploded with a powerful voice and ruthlessly attacked.
The deputy general led the experts of the army and followed closely behind, charging towards the Shang Dynasty warriors.
They knew that they would die in this battle, but it was the duty of a soldier to not retreat. They had to protect the country, defend the border, and protect the 100,000 people in the city. Unless all of them died in battle, no one could do it!
An even more intense battle began. Every blade was lethal. They rushed towards the other party’s vital points with only one thought: kill the enemy!
Even the county magistrate, Yang Yuan, a scholar, was not afraid when the enemy invaded his home. He did not hide behind and rely on the protection of his teammates to survive. He held the sword in his hand and led the soldiers to fight against the Shang army..
