Suddenly, a roar erupted from Changfeng City, like a rolling thunder, echoing over the battlefield where tens of thousands from the two armies were locked in combat, causing the Cyan Cloud Army to change color in shock.
The source of the sound was a slender man, pale as a ghost, with features resembling those of a sickly specter. Most striking was his head of wildly dancing white hair and a pair of eyes that were as innocent and bright as a child’s, untouched by worldly matters.
"Is that Wang Xuantian?!"
On the battlefield, the soldiers and commanders of the Cyan Cloud, along with the martial artists supporting from various great powers, cast their eyes in an exceptionally solemn manner, and when those eyes finally fell upon Wang Xuantian.
Upon first seeing this legendary fierce figure, pupils contracted sharply and expressions froze with intense doubt, as if they couldn’t believe their own eyes.
A man with a fearso reputation, whose na alone could silence a crying child at night, and who single-handedly established the Black Mountain Rebel Army lurking across the Three Counties, turned out to be this harmless-looking, sickly young man?
But soon their inner doubts dissipated, as with Wang Xuantian’s appearance, the Black Mountain Rebel Army erupted in cheers.
"Celestial King, Celestial King!"
The commotion was grand, fervent, like a mountain cry and sea roar.
Seeing the morale of the rebel army soaring, and revealing a military presence that only veterans of a hundred battles could muster, the people of Cyan Cloud’s many great powers couldn’t help but notice, with growing gravity and apprehension in their hearts.
Previously, many had speculated that Wang Xuantian’s prowess, coupled with the ongoing wars in the north with the barbarians and the grasslands, along with the Court’s increases in taxes every few years, had allowed Wang Xuantian to unite the Three Counties’ bandits and form the Black Mountain Rebel Army.
In the eyes of these major figures of Cyan Cloud, and even County Captain Li Qiu, allowing Wang Xuantian another chance might not necessarily result in forming the Black Mountain Rebel Army again. Yet, even so, no one dared to underestimate Wang Xuantian, holding him in high regard.
And now it seed, even with their high estimation, they might have severely underestimated this Black Mountain Celestial King.
"Interesting... it gets more and more interesting."
On the central chariot, Tao Xingzheng’s eyes slightly squinted, yet on his face was a tint of excitent, a hint of pathological madness hiding deep within his gaze.
In a fleeting mont, Tao Xingzheng suppressed the abnormality on his face and, facing the soldiers, bowed deeply from a distance, shouting behind him.
"The rebel leader Wang Xuantian has appeared. I request everyone to exterminate the rebels and restore peace to the Qingyun Three Counties!"
"I request everyone to exterminate the rebels!"
The sound echoed over the Cyan Cloud side, and on a chariot behind Tao Xingzheng, Zhou Qing and Shangguan Ke displayed expressions of excitent, with a strong fighting spirit swirling in their eyes.
One hailed from East Canglan County, the other from Bei County, both newly appointed as Golden Order holders of the Demon Slayer Bureau. They had co to Cyan Cloud to evaluate Li Feiyu as agents, but both knew this was essentially their first official mission since becoming Golden Order holders.
Perhaps Qingzhou had an intention to assess them in this evaluation. Both held themselves in high regard, never yielding to each other, and hadn’t determined a victor during their journey. Now, naturally, they wanted to decide superiority.
Furthermore, bursting with confidence, even before truly entering the Qingyun Three Counties, they encountered a monk from Vajra Temple. Though this monk was of significant stature, the two of them combined couldn’t gain any benefit.
Precisely because of this, both held a breath of indignation in their hearts, eager to release it. Furthermore, upon arriving at the Qingyun Three Counties, they repeatedly heard others ntion Wang Xuantian’s fierceness, and today they were determined to witness what kind of figure this Qingyun Three Counties could produce!
"Wang Xuantian has an extrely strong physical body, and he wields an enigmatic invisible power, with fists and kicks of astounding might."
Behind the two, Su Mu spoke up as a reminder. Now, they were on the sa side, and as Zhou Qing and Shangguan Ke appeared eager to act against Wang Xuantian, Su Mu was content with this.
If these two could slay Wang Xuantian, it would naturally save trouble. If not, they could at least wear Wang Xuantian down a bit more.
At this mont, Su Mu’s peripheral vision subtly glanced at the Lin Family Siblings. The last ti they encountered Wang Xuantian, they hadn’t used their full strength. Though the battle was intense, they seed to handle it with ease throughout.
"These two are different from Zhou Qing and Shangguan Ke... We need to be on guard."
To Su Mu, Zhou Qing and Shangguan Ke seed excessively proud, especially Zhou Qing, who exemplified the typical scion of a great family, looking down on others. However, often, it is the silent dogs that bite, so more attention is needed on those quiet ones.
"Hmph, don’t you dare compare yourself with this young lord!"
Upon hearing Su Mu’s reminder, Zhou Qing paid no heed, not taking it seriously, rely considering Su Mu to have low strength and a narrow view, hence his words.
Shangguan Ke was also unimpressed, but since he had intentions of drawing Su Mu in, he nodded slightly in acknowledgnt.
"Such boldness to call yourself a Celestial King, what an arrogant Wang Xuantian. I’ll see how many of my swords he can withstand!"
Zhou Qing was the first to move, lightly leaping from the chariot, stepping continuously on the bodies of combatants below, causing those he stepped on to grunt in pain.
"Let’s all go!"
With a light shout, Shangguan Ke followed Zhou Qing towards Wang Xuantian, imdiately joined by the Lin Family Siblings and Su Mu, who also leaped from the chariot.
Each displayed their respective body technique, and even amidst the chaos of a battlefield where ten thousand clashed, they moved gracefully through.
"Oh?"
Soon, the Lin Family Siblings and Shangguan Ke noticed Su Mu’s body technique. Su Mu also chose to traverse using the soldiers’ bodies but did so with more agility compared to Zhou Qing.
