Finally, the two armies confronted each other.
To the surprise of the entire Western Mountain County Kingdom army, Wang Xiaoqiang was leading the soldiers of Hufeng Prefecture. What surprised Wang Xiaoqiang was that among the Western Mountain County Kingdom's army, there was actually a team of Wild Beasts.
Wang Xiaoqiang had a special sentint towards Wild Beasts; first, the Bai Ze's family was Wild Beast, and the Green Hill Fox was severely injured by Zhuu Jiuyin while trying to save him; his five followers were also Wild Beasts.
Psychologically, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't want to harm any Wild Beast, so upon seeing the shadow of Wild Beasts among the Western Mountain County Kingdom's military ranks, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a bit troubled.
At the sa ti, Wang Xiaoqiang saw a familiar face. This face had flashed when the Divine Sense Jade Pendant exploded at the death of the Western Mountain County King. Now, upon seeing this face again, Wang Xiaoqiang imdiately determined that this person was most likely the son of the Western Mountain County King, the Little Marquis.
Moreover, seeing his position as the commanding general in the army, he seed to wield significant power. This person wasn't weak in cultivation, being at the Earth Immortal Nine Plates, half-step Heavenly Immortal; however, though he appeared young, he likely wasn't a Body Refining Master.
When the Little Marquis saw Wang Xiaoqiang, he glared with red eyes, full of hatred, pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang, and cursed, "You brat, you killed my father, today you will surely be torn to pieces..."
"It seems like you've warned before, but I took it as nonsense, because you simply don't have the capability..." Wang Xiaoqiang spoke with a playful, relaxed expression, deliberately provoking the other, intending to lure him into single combat. If Wang Xiaoqiang could kill him, the army would lose its leader and fall into chaos, leading to the Western Mountain Army's defeat without a battle, sparing the Wild Beast troops from harm.
The young and impulsive Little Marquis, upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's disdainful words, knew he couldn't defeat him yet stepped forward and shouted, "I'll kill you myself."
"Co on if you dare; if you walk alone up to and shake my hand, I'll call you grandfather..." Seeing four elderly white-haired n hundreds of years old beside the Little Marquis, Wang Xiaoqiang knew they were the Little Marquis' guards. Although these elders were also Earth Immortal Nine Plates, their presence indicated they possessed Ultimate Techniques, with a combined strength far exceeding the Earth Immortal Nine Plates...
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang further provoked him, trying to draw the Little Marquis closer.
Fueled by anger, the Little Marquis stepped through the air, striding towards Wang Xiaoqiang, only to be quickly pulled back by two elderly n who advised, "Little Marquis, do not fall for it; this Wang Xiaoqiang is a deceitful character. You, as the commander, must prioritize safety."
Wang Xiaoqiang contemptuously stared at the Little Marquis, coldly laughing, "Haha, that's right, for safety's sake, Little Marquis, better retreat into your tent and be a coward... hahahahaha~~~~"
"Hahahaha~~~~~" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, and the soldiers behind him joined in mocking laughter.
"You..." The Little Marquis pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang, burning with anger, and directly commanded, "Kill him!"
With this command, the entire Western Mountain County Kingdom army surged forward, charging at Hufeng Prefecture soldiers, as Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand, sending Hufeng Prefecture soldiers against the Western Mountain County Kingdom troops.
Both armies engaged in fierce battle in the air.
Interestingly, what should have been allied forces now turned into hostile factions, fighting to the death.
Hufeng Prefecture soldiers, being different from those of the Supre County Kingdom, could be killed or injured without Wang Xiaoqiang feeling pained. However, the presence of Wild Beasts in the Western Mountain County Kingdom's forces, if slain, would be regrettable.
Wang Xiaoqiang thought of a redy and quickly recalled the Holy Path of Courage empowered by the Ode to Righteousness. With a testing mindset, he willed, and the word 'Courage' erged from his body, expanding to the size of a city gate, vibrating massively with thunder rumbling within, shaking both armies' spirits, including the Wild Beast warriors.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang's will moved, and a Sacred Confucian erged from the word 'Courage,' holding a scripture in his left hand and a magic wand in his right. The scripture's pages flipped autonomously, as the Sacred Confucian chanted, the chanting growing louder and higher... eventually piercing the sky, resonating with heaven and earth...
A wave of the Power of Enlightennt spread towards both sides' soldiers,
Generally speaking, human minds are clear, especially in combat, but beasts are different,
After all, beasts are beasts, easily confused, subdued, enlightened. Although Wild Beasts' intelligence is on par with humans, their pure and innocent hearts are akin to those inexperienced in the world, prone to deception and brainwashing.
Thus influenced by the Power of Enlightennt, the Wild Beast warriors' will wavered, falling into confusion, slowly enlightened by the Sacred Confucian,
The Sacred Confucian, from the Holy Path of Courage, represented Wang Xiaoqiang's will. Once the Wild Beast warriors were enlightened, they beca Wang Xiaoqiang's soldiers, obedient and loyal.
Without expecting this goal to be realized, yet unexpectedly achieved, Wang Xiaoqiang rejoiced and imdiately commanded the Wild Beast warriors to turn and counterattack the Western Mountain County Kingdom forces.
The Wild Beast warriors, under Wang Xiaoqiang's orders, imdiately turned and counterattacked the Western Mountain County Kingdom army.
Initially, with equal forces, the battle was fierce and undecided; now, with the Wild Beast troops' defection, the situation drastically changed, and the Western Mountain County Kingdom army quickly crumbled.
Killing Wang Xiaoqiang to avenge his father and defend Western Mountain land, the Little Marquis was confident but had no foresight of the Wild Beasts' sudden betrayal, causing the battle to beco one-sided,
Watching as the Western Mountain County Kingdom fell apart, the Little Marquis pointed his sword at the Beast King of the Western Mountain, angrily yelling, "You damned beast, you betrayed in battle, I will first get rid of you."
Then, he flew towards the Beast King of the Western Mountain,
The Beast King, nad Heishui. Heishui was a Ninth Tier Wild Beast, not only transford into human shape but also powerful, which ant the Sacred Confucian's influence of enlightennt was minimal, insufficient to fully enlighten him,
Yet seeing his troops turning, attacking the Western Mountain County Kingdom army like floodwaters, Heishui was unable to stop them. When the Little Marquis berated him as a traitor and attempted to kill him, feeling innocent yet compelled to defend himself.
The Little Marquis was filled with hatred, determined to kill Heishui. His attacks were relentless, aiming to kill, giving Heishui no chance to explain himself,
Upon being provoked, Heishui finally unleashed his wrath, fighting back with full strength, his Ninth Tier cultivation surpassing the Little Marquis,
Heishui's desperate counterattacks exposed the Little Marquis to defeat, when suddenly, the four old guards joined the fight, making it five against one to kill Heishui.
Facing five opponents, Heishui quickly lost, fleeing for his life, but nowhere to escape, soon surrounded by the five.
"Beast is beast, devoid of humanity. My father didn't treat you badly, yet you betrayed in battle, do you have any conscience?" The Little Marquis pointed at Heishui, angrily reprimanding,
Realizing the deep-seated conflict and irreconcilability, Heishui sneered, "Haha, beast? If anyone is a beast, your father, the Western Mountain King, is the true beast. Little Marquis, do you know, he once occupied my beloved..."
"You're lying! My father isn't that kind of person. Moreover, we Humans have marriage regulations, he wouldn't dare violate them..." The Little Marquis thrust his immortal sword at Heishui's neck. "You're spewing lies, tarnishing my father's honor."
"I endured humiliation for the Beast Race to avoid your father's harm; I would have settled this with him long ago. All these years bearing the weight, now Wang Xiaoqiang avenged ..." Heishui revealed a relieved expression, yet added...
"But I won't pledge allegiance to Wang Xiaoqiang. Though your father is tyrannical, worse than a beast, Little Marquis, I see potential in you, and wish to assist you in fostering harmony between Humans and Beasts, building a better ho. Don't act rashly..."
"You're spouting nonsense, die..." As the Little Marquis thrust his Immortal Sword intending to pierce Heishui's neck, unexpectedly, an arrow shot forth, snapping the Immortal Sword.
The Little Marquis and his four elders froze, turned their gaze, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang holding a bow and arrow, coldly smiling at them.
