756: Chapter 240: Dong Long Martial Skills – Four Taels Moving a Thousand Catties (Part 3) 756: Chapter 240: Dong Long Martial Skills – Four Taels Moving a Thousand Catties (Part 3) Tens of thousands of griffins launched their attack simultaneously; despite each being able to carry only five stones, the barrage of stone rain descended frantically.
Their purpose was to cover the retreat and annihilate the enemy.
Seeing the rain of stones falling, Ye Yinzhu’s expression suddenly changed.
Although he had anticipated an attack from the Beastman air force, he didn’t expect Guti to make such a decisive move.
The order to retreat was issued simultaneously on the side of the Qin City Infantry Corps, with Ye Yinzhu’s mand being a full-speed withdrawal.
Qin City’s Four Major Infantry Corps immediately demonstrated a speed starkly different from that of ordinary infantry.
The advantage of Douqi was unmistakable at this moment.
The entire sixty thousand soldiers shifted from a forward charge to a sudden stop, their formation quickly dispersing as they retreated rapidly towards their own side.
When the griffin troop calculated the advance for their stone throwing, the quick reaction of the Qin City troops immediately caused most of the stones to miss their mark.
At the same time, within the Qin City Four Major Infantry Corps, all squad leader-ranked warriors and above swung their longswords, with green rank Douqi or higher permeating out.
To ensure the entire army’s retreat, they held nothing back and, led by experts with purple and yellow Douqi, faced the falling rocks head-on.
The downward force of the falling stones from the sky was extremely formidable, and even green rank Douqi should not have been able to pletely withstand it, not to mention the predominance of yellow Douqi sword shadows.
However, beneath the broad swath of sword shadows with crisscrossing Douqi, the powerful falling stones were scattered in all directions.
Interweaving sword shadows formed a large net, miraculously covering the Qin City warriors as they broke through the barrage, with few stones penetrating into their ranks.
Even Guti couldn’t help but rub his eyes at this moment.
How could this be possible?
When did yellow rank Douqi bee so powerful?
What he didn’t know was that the color of the Douqi in Qin City was different from the rainbow-grade on the continent.
Those captains from Qin City were all direct descendants of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans; not only were they proficient in Dong Long Martial Skills, but their Douqi was also far from merely yellow rank.
At a minimum, it was green rank, and some were even at the standard of blue and green ranks.
Of course, if they had relied solely on Douqi to resist, they could not have blocked all the stone attack given its sheer volume.
At this moment, the true strength of Dong Long Martial Skills was displayed.
While it appeared that they were aggressively waving Douqi back and forth, each sword struck a few special points on the stones, diverting their downward force sideways—an embodiment of the profound meaning within Dong Long Martial Skills, leveraging a weaker force to move a heavier object.
An Eastern Dragon soldier of the same rank could easily defeat many times their number in ordinary soldiers, thanks to skill.
Dong Long Martial Skills were the legacy secrets passed down for ten thousand years from the Eastern Dragon Empire.
As descendants of dragons, soldiers with Dong Long bloodline were best suited to cultivate these skills, and only they could fully utilize the might of these martial skills.
This bination of technique and strength had created the miracle-like scene before them.
In the midst of this dazzling display of Douqi, Qin City’s Four Major Infantry Corps had forcefully broken through the stone barrage.
Although there were many lightly wounded, not a single corpse was left behind – a feat that was indeed admirable amongst their peers.
Ye Yinzhu looked up at the sky, his gaze fixed upon the griffins and Thunderbirds of the two Beastman aerial corps, and snorted coldly.
The music from his zither changed once again.
The music from the zither was like Wild Geese Descending on the Sand, ethereal as the highest heavens, orderly as geese in flight with harmonious sounds, appearing and disappearing fleetingly as if ing and going.
A gentle deep purple glow rippled out from the milky ancient zither as though it was a great net spreading towards the sky.
The softly playing music suddenly grew intense and magnificent.
Whether friend or foe, everyone could clearly hear the transformation of the zither’s sound.
“Not good,” Guti’s expression changed.
He was sure that the revival of the Beastman Warriors earlier was the effect of the zither played by the white-robed magician on the other side.
Now, watching the deep purple halo rise into the air, it was clearly targeting his griffin and Thunderbird corps.
It was well known that airborne cavalry, whether in the human world or the Beastman’s World, were extremely precious.
Guti absolutely didn’t want his aerial cavalry to suffer any damage today after already losing a significant number of warriors.
At the same time as he issued the air force retreat order, his entire being had already sprung from the mammoth’s back, his deep purple Douqi turning him into something akin to an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, he shot past the troops in front, a dazzling bluish-purple light emanating from his hand.
Acpanied by a roaring sound like thunder, a lightning bolt as thick as a thigh struck directly towards Ye Yinzhu.
It was one of Thor’s Hammer’s acpanying skills, Thunderstrike.
Empowered by Guti’s Ninth Rank Zi rank Douqi, the Thunderstrike, unleashed even in haste, would not be weaker than a regular Forbidden Curse.
As for the odd enemy mage, the Lion King had grown to hate him immensely.
At the moment Guti locked onto Ye Yinzhu, he already felt it.
His expression shifted slightly as he had to stop the music he was playing.
Although he did not fear Guti’s attack, his “The Wild Geese Descend on the Sand” was interrupted by Guti.
The emerging dark purple halo instantly dissipated in the air.
Despite this, the pressure from the zither music still caused the griffins and the Thunderbirds in the sky to retreat in panic.
Ye Yinzhu’s fingers moved across the strings, his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger pulling back together.
Peak Zi Zhu Douqi erupted instantly, merging pletely with the Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither.
In the next moment, the Seven-Colour Sonic Blade burst forth, piercing the air with its shrill whistle and powerful energy fluctuations, boldly confronting Thor’s Hammer’s Thunderstrike.
A fierce roaring erupted in the center of the battlefield, where the three leading Sound Blades collided explosively with a Thunderstrike, unleashing a powerful wave of energy.
A circle of intense Element Turbulence surged forth, forming a massive vortex.
Within its range, all corpses were instantly turned to flying ash and disappeared.
But what truly startled Guti was that, although the four Sound Blades behind the seven launched ones were affected by the Element Turbulence—slowed and their colors faded—they didn’t break.
Instead, they flew straight toward him.
Through his mental senses, he could clearly feel the power of these four Sound Blades.
This Mage, who had never appeared before, was far more formidable than Guti had ever anticipated.
As the number one expert of the Beastman Clan, Guti often played a role in turning the tide of the war against humans.
To deal with him, the Milan Empire’s Northern Legion had exhausted all their strategies, yet Guti’s Ninth Rank Zi rank power was indeed something that no Milanese warrior could confront alone.
Even if multiple Dragon Knights surrounded him, the attacks launched with Thor’s Hammer often caused considerable losses to the Milan Northern Corps.
Yet now, Ye Yinzhu, with what appeared to be an instantly cast magic spell, not only broke the Thunderstrike but also brought trouble to Guti.
With a low growl, Guti was forced to wield his Thor’s Hammer once more.
This time, a radiant blue-violet light acpanied by the roar of thunder burst forth.
A wild wind and thunder erupted simultaneously as the blue-violet light fiercely collided with the four Sound Blades.
Amid a more dominant element turbulence, the attack from Ye Yinzhu’s Sound Blades was finally neutralized.
The Storm Hammer, another powerful attack from Thor’s Hammer.
As the two mighty forces clashed with each other, the situation in the mid-air suddenly changed.
A wonderful and gentle melody turned into rings of purple light, hovering over.
The retreating Falcon Dragons and Griffin troop behind the Thunderbirds—some of them slowed down instantaneously in their retreat.
Following that, a cascade of colorful clouds flew out from the side of Holy Light City.
These were dazzlingly colored large birds, fewer in number pared to the Gryphons and Thunderbirds, and their size was not even superior.
But those rings of purple auras were exactly what drifted from the leading large birds.
The Beastman Tribe was finally beginning to panic.
Despite having fewer Air Forces, the re-emergence of an air enemy following the disappearance of the Milan Northern Corps’ Falcon Dragon Knights greatly surprised the Beastman Tribe.
A rain of arrow shadows like lightning floated down from the backs of those large birds.
Under the sunlight, each arrow glinted with a faint luster.
Amidst the purple aura’s interference, hundreds of Gryphons and Thunderbirds, caught in the slow state, were hit and fell heavily towards the ground, crying out in their death throes.
The Horn Eagle Knights of Qin City’s Air Force finally took action; their mander was Oliveira, who was not a bit less skilled in military capabilities than Ye Yinzhu.
Having cooperated with Ye Yinzhu many times, he accurately grasped the situation on the battlefield.
The leaders of the Milan Northern Corps were unaware of the Qin City Warriors’ prowess, but how could he be unaware—after all, he had personally trained the Four Major Infantry Corps of Qin City.
Although the opponent’s Air Force outnumbered theirs by a large margin, the opponent’s morale had deflated.
In terms of bat power, the Horned Hawks might not be stronger than Gryphons and Thunderbirds, even slightly inferior to Gryphons, but they had their own advantage—speed.
With a speed surpassing both Gryphons and Thunderbirds, coupled with the miraculous Divine Music Magic from Zither Emperor’s Twelve Musician Lanes, Oliveira was able to seize the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
One should know that even amongst the Beastman Tribe, the numbers of Gryphons and Thunderbirds were limited—a loss of one was truly a loss.
They were as treasured as Guti’s Golden Legion.
Guti, buoyed by his powerful Douqi, hovered five meters above the ground, his gaze burning as he stared at Ye Yinzhu.
Ye Yinzhu didn’t launch another attack, his empty eyes directed toward Guti, hands gently stroking the zither strings, utterly unfazed by Guti’s imposing aura.
The two mighty beings stood facing each other on the battlefield, neither making a move.
After the Horn Eagle Knights released the third volley of arrows, the Gryphon and Thunderbird troops finally retreated back within the range of Thor Hammer Fort.
Oliveira did not pursue, as the two thousand Horn Eagle Knights gracefully retreated and, in the blink of an eye, disappeared into Holy Light City, having decimated over a thousand of the enemy’s Air Force with the help of the Divine Music slow effect from Zither Emperor’s Twelve Musician Lanes.
