"General! Now the power of this madman, the Black Wind Village Chief, has far exceeded our expectations.
Even Lord Ninja King and Yagyu Tajima-no-kami are most likely in grave danger, and the situation in the military camp is not optimistic either.
How about... you withdraw first?"
Inside the camp, several trusted personal guards and the deputy general looked at Jing Shen solemnly and advised him.
With a somber expression, Jing Shen walked to the curtain, lifted a slit, and observed the soldiers outside clashing with the Black Wind Village Chief in the sky, shaking his head, "As long as I stay in this tent, the Black Wind Village Chief cannot detect .
But if I go out, I’ll risk a greater exposure.
What’s more, if I leave without a word, the mission entrusted to by the Emperor will die prematurely whenever this Black Wind Village Chief cos to cause trouble!"
The deputy general hesitated, "Given the situation, does the General have a good strategy to cope with it? What should we do?"
"Hmph!"
Jing Shen’s eyes were icy as he stood with his arms behind his back, speaking coldly, "This Black Wind Village Chief ca here under orders from the Song State Governnt, intending to disrupt our plans to send troops to Song Country, and his target is likely not only but also our supplies.
However, would I not have anticipated this?
I intentionally exposed the location of the supply storerooms and have buried a large amount of gunpowder there.
If the Black Wind Village Chief can’t find , he will try to burn the supplies.
When that happens, without needing us to expend a single soldier, his road leads to death!"
The confidants, hearing this, were overjoyed, their hearts filled with great admiration, and they praised his ingenuity.
Just then.
From outside the tent ca the sounds of chaotic battle cries and terrifying zither tones and horrifying roars.
Jing Shen and the others hastily lifted the curtain to check outside.
They saw a large number of arrows shooting into the air, aid at the Demon Hawk soaring above, but as though hitting a strong wind, they were all blown away and reversed.
And on the back of the Demon Hawk, several figures stood there in a commanding manner.
Among them, a man and a woman; the man stood like a fierce lion or tiger roaring boldly, his sonic waves shaking heaven and earth, unleashing a terrifying sound wave barrage on the soldier formations below, making them cry out and flee with blood from their mouths.
The woman sat cross-legged playing the zither, the zither tones transforming into circles of terrifying ripples tearing through the air, ravaging the chaotic formations below, tearing bodies apart, causing blood to spray, and claiming lives.
"Damn it!!"
General Jing Shen growled hoarsely, his eyes seed to shoot fire, grinding his teeth with fury while witnessing the slaughter of his soldiers, feeling tornt beyond description, longing to rush out and personally command the battle.
"General!!"
Several confidants imdiately stepped forward.
Jing Shen’s heart bled, his eyes raging with fury, he clenched his fists, slowly closed his eyes, and two streams of tears imdiately flowed down his aged face, saying in a deep voice, "Endure!! We shall continue to endure! Although these Martial Arts Experts from Song Country are formidable, they will tire at so point. I will ensure they pay the blood price!"
"Thud thud thud—"
Sheets of blood erupted with screams among the army formations.
After roaring continuously for a while, Jiang Dali laughed loudly, leaving a ruthless remark.
"Jing Shen! You are even more of a coward than the Ninja King! As of today, for every day you don’t show up, I, the Village Chief, will co every three hours to kill your soldiers; let’s see when you’ll reveal yourself!"
After speaking, Jiang Dali, under the furious and fearful gazes of seventy or eighty thousand pairs of eyes, elegantly rode the hawk away.
...
"Whew!! I’m exhausted! Not only has all my True Qi been drained, but I don’t even want to move a finger now. I just want to sleep well."
On the hawk’s back, Murong Qingqing leaned weakly against Jiang Dali’s backrest, gasping, her strength drained greatly after exerting her powers, her face flushed, and sweat dripped like rain.
"Coo—"
The Demon Hawk also let out a hurried cry, as if complaining about being tired and weary.
While performing the Inner Lion Seal to quickly regain energy, Jiang Dali said, "Later tonight, you can rest, as there will be many more harassing attacks to co, just play with them slowly. I will find a way to root out Jing Shen and locate their stored supplies."
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the boiling, furious military camp behind him, saying helplessly, "With your killing spree, they are now highly vigilant, and I’m afraid I’ll be discovered the mont I sneak into the camp tonight."
Jiang Dali snorted lightly, "If you use the Treasure Vase Seal Technique to infiltrate and combine it with your Qinggong, only experts can find you. If you encounter such a person, it’s a great target, as their status in the camp is high; kill them."
Xiao Feng laughed and patted Lu Xiaofeng’s shoulder, "Brother Lu, don’t worry, I’ll go with you to cover you!"
Lu Xiaofeng stroked his mustache and smiled, "Brother Xiao, you’re truly chivalrous."
The Demon Hawk glided over.
Eventually, the group landed on a relatively high mountain peak.
The group dismounted the Demon Hawk and entered the dark forest where they couldn’t see a hand in front of them.
After a while, using the faint light filtering through the forest from the stars and moon, they regained their sight.
Jiang Dali let the Demon Hawk hunt wild animals in the forest to rest well.
Everyone also ate dry food, drank water, and regained their physical strength.
The two won found a secluded corner to relieve themselves, while the n settled it on the spot.
Then they searched the surroundings for dry wood to start a fire for warmth and safety from beasts, taking a brief rest.
Afterward, two days passed swiftly.
During these two days, Jiang Dali and Murong Qingqing collaborated and used their aerial advantage to eliminate over a thousand soldiers, almost driving the massive army, assembled not long ago, to the brink of collapse.
