Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 196 The Ghost God's Soldiers

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The war drums of the Great Jin Kingdom sounded in the distance.

Rumbling, rumbling, rumbling!

The ground shook as if a dragon were turning over beneath it.

A troop of one hundred thousand soldiers split from the enemy's formation, forming ten square units that advanced neatly toward the front.

Each of these hundred thousand soldiers was clad in golden armor, wielding a long sword and bearing a war shield on their shoulders.

An icy, deadly aura emanated from each of them.

Just from the uniformity of their footsteps, devoid of any other noise, one could tell this was an elite force!

At the very front of these one hundred thousand, there were two figures in white battle armor from the Tao Tribulation Realm.

"They are the Eastern War King and Western War King from among the Four Symbols Kings. Every one of them is a strong practitioner above the Fifth Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm, and behind them are the hundred thousand Golden Crow Guards,"

Yu Huaxian said with a grave voice, "This is General Qin Yu's usual tactic, to strike the enemy down with the Golden Crow Guards in the front. Then the cavalry, half a million strong, will swoop down to completely break the enemy, followed by the infantry..."

"A hundred thousand Golden Crow Guards?"

Xiao Yi nodded and gave an order, "Gu Junhe, Yu Huaxian, hear my command, I order the two of you to lead fifty thousand from the Four Symbols Legion each to meet the enemy!"

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Gu Junhe clenched his fists, full of an overwhelming desire to fight.

With the help of Xiao Yi's elemental stones, he too had stepped into the Third Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm.

He was fully capable of dealing with a practitioner of the Fifth Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm.

As for Yu Huaxian, he had reached the Seventh Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm, and a great battle was just what he needed to exhibit his power.

After the two had left,

Xiao Yi continued, "Jiang Weisheng, Huangpao, hear my command... You two immediately organize the Beast Riders. Once Generals Gu and Huaxian break through the Golden Crow Guards, the Beast Riders will charge. If Qin Yu wishes to slaughter all the people of the Tianqing Kingdom, then I will bury his army of over a million right outside Tanglang City!"

"Yes!"

The two immediately withdrew.

Clang!

The city gates flung open.

Yu Huaxian and Gu Junhe led the one hundred thousand of the Four Symbols Legion and charged out, heading straight for the one hundred thousand Golden Crow Guards.

In front of the Golden Crow Guards,

The Eastern War King in white battle armor, expressionless, said, "Yu Huaxian, that eunuch, has indeed defected to the Tianqing Kingdom. When His Majesty appointed him to manage the Eastern Factory, I vehemently opposed it. Eunuchs are truly unreliable!"

"The soldiers behind them are not simple either!"

Coming from a military background, the Four Symbols Kings could see at a glance how exceptional the Legion was. The Western War King spoke in a deep voice, "Send the order down, tell the men not to take this lightly, they must hit them hard. Ideally, we should annihilate these one hundred thousand before the cavalry even makes a move!"

They had complete confidence in the Golden Crow Guards of the Great Jin Kingdom.

The one hundred thousand Golden Crow Guards struck their shields with their swords.

Boom! Stay tuned for updates on empire

Boom!

Boom!

The sound resonated through the sky, fierce as wolves and aggressive as tigers.

Gu Junhe pointed with his Longsword and roared, "Four Symbols Legion, be unstoppable! Kill..."

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill..."

The shouts from the Four Symbols Legion were thunderous, rivaling the Golden Crow Guards.

Boom!

The two sides collided in an instant.

The Western War King and Eastern War King were respectively held up by Yu Huaxian and Gu Junhe.

The remaining Golden Crow Guards and the Legion clashed like two giant waves meeting each other.

The sounds of fierce battle filled the sky.

Within the military formation,

The Southern War King nodded slightly, saying, "No wonder the four major kingdoms combined could not trouble the Tianqing Kingdom; their military strength is truly not weak!"

Qin Yu's face was cold, his sneer continuous, "They are but grasshoppers after the autumn, not able to bounce around for much longer. The Golden Crow Guards of my Great Jin Kingdom are unstoppable, how can they compare with such a tiny country?"

"Of course!"

The Northern War King laughed, his figure immensely bulky, to the extent that the low-level six-stage beast he was riding seemed to struggle under his weight. "General Qin, after we break the Tianqing Kingdom, do you truly intend to slaughter the entire nation?"

Qin Yu nodded, "Only by exterminating the Tianqing Kingdom can we truly avenge His Highness!"

The Southern and Northern War Kings looked at each other, and there was not a hint of pity in their eyes, but rather a nod of agreement, "You speak sense, the dignity of our Great Jin Kingdom cannot be tarnished!"

"The Golden Crow Guards should be about to crush the opposition, we can let the cavalry..." the Southern War King was saying when his expression abruptly changed, his pupils shrinking dramatically, "What, what is this situation?"

On the battlefield.

The Eastern War King had already been slain by Yu Huaxian.

The Western War King was also entangled by Gu Junhe and could not extricate himself.

But what shocked them even more was the Golden Crow Guards who had been invincible...

They were actually on the verge of complete collapse under the onslaught of the one hundred thousand Four Symbols Legion.

In just a brief moment.

Over half of the one hundred thousand Golden Crow Guards had been lost!

"Impossible!"

"How, how could the Tianqing Kingdom possibly have such elite troops?" The Southern War King's face changed wildly, looking to Qin Yu, "General Qin, what should we do?"

Qin Yu's face was ashen.

He had also not anticipated that the Golden Crow Guards, who had previously been invincible, would face such a setback against the Tianqing Kingdom, which he had never taken seriously!

With a gloomy face, Qin Yu snapped angrily, "A hundred thousand magical beast cavalry charge the enemy ranks, followed closely by the remaining four hundred thousand cavalry. Tianqing Kingdom, a small and insignificant country, these one hundred thousand elites must be all their military strength, as long as we annihilate these one hundred thousand men, Tianqing Kingdom will have no more power to resist..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The war drums thundered, and the earth trembled.

One hundred thousand magical beast cavalry, along with four hundred thousand regular cavalry, burst out of the military ranks and charged towards the Four Symbols Legion.

The vast army of five hundred thousand, like a black tide, left no grass growing or tile intact wherever it passed.

The Western War King and Gu Junhe, trembling with excitement, showed a look of wild joy on their faces, "Haha, Gu Junhe, you're doomed!"

"Is that so?"

Gu Junhe simply gave a cold, mocking smile, suddenly retreated, and along with Yu Huaxian, led the hundred thousand Four Symbols Legion away from Tanglang City.

"Charge, don't let them get away!"

"Wipe them out!"

The Western War King, having been suppressed by Gu Junhe, who was of a lower cultivation level than him, was already frustrated to no end. Seeing the Southern War King and the Northern War King leading the cavalry to pursue, and the Four Symbols Legion in 'disorganized retreat', how could he miss this chance to regain his honor? Immediately taking the lead, he chased after them with the remaining Golden Crow Guards.

However...

As Gu Junhe and Yu Huaxian neared Tanglang City, they did not flee into the city but scattered to both sides.

Almost simultaneously.

The ground trembled with a series of terrifying quakes.

The earth shook as if stricken by an earthquake.

"That, what is that?"

From within Tanglang City, suddenly a black iron torrent swelled forth, each one clad in tungsten iron armor, holding a tungsten iron spear.

Their bodies shone with a dim black light.

Underneath them were hulking and powerful magical beasts.

One hundred thousand.

Two hundred thousand.

Three hundred thousand...

A full million magical beast cavalry charged out from Tanglang City.

Leading them were none other than Jiang Weisheng and Xue Bufan.

Jiang Weisheng roared loudly, "Kill!"

The rumble of a million magical beast cavalry was like an iron torrent, like the army of specters.

The terrifying momentum stunned the five hundred thousand cavalry of Great Jin Kingdom. The Western War King's eyes burst with madness, "Flee, flee for your lives!"

"Retreat, retreat!"

The Southern War King and the Northern War King, faces filled with terror, reined their horses to retreat.

But their battle formation was such that the magical beast cavalry were in front, with the regular cavalry behind. Now that they had to turn around, how could the regular cavalry outrun the magical beasts? They were directly crushed by their own side's magical beast cavalry, thoroughly disorganizing the entire battle formation. Along with the onrush of a million magical beast cavalry from Tianqing Kingdom, the million-strong army of Great Jin Kingdom collapsed like a landslide.

Across the plains, blood flowed into rivers, and a sea of corpses piled high.

Of the Great Jin Kingdom's million-strong army, only a fifth escaped in all directions, fleeing desperately for their lives.

The Western War King was pierced through by Xue Bufan and trampled to death by magical beasts.

The Southern War King and the Northern War King were also gravely injured and managed to flee to Qin Yu's side.

The few of them looked out over the plains, where a million magical beast cavalry stood in a line, eyes bursting with madness, "We've lost... we have lost..."
