Chapter 622 209: Military Immortal vs Master of War_4
"The winds howl and the cranes shriek; everywhere, soldiers hide in the grass!"
"Until ten days ago,"
"General Tong had just reached the vicinity of Cloud Top Prefecture and stabilized the situation."
"Now,"
"Two hundred thousand troops have suffered over fifty percent casualties, and the entire region of Bottle state is lost!"
"..."
"Crack——"
Upon hearing the last letter of the battle report, the teacup in the hands of Prince Regent Cao Huan slipped and shattered into countless pieces on the ground as he nearly blacked out and fell backwards, only to be promptly supported by two eunuchs, preventing his fall.
The Cabinet ministers, especially those from the Ministry of Military, had ashen faces.
"Useless!"
"Tong Xiaochu is useless!"
Yan Maoxing was furious, "We sent him to lead the troops to reclaim the Luo and Shepherd states, and in less than three months, not only has he failed to recover any lost territory, but he has also lost another state!
"Two hundred thousand troops had a casualty of one hundred thousand!
"Is he a pig?!"
This time,
appointing Tong Xiaochu
was one of his recommendations.
He too, must take responsibility for such a massive defeat!
"..."
After his extreme anger subsided, Ming Qingfeng calmly analyzed the entire battle on sand and map tables. Even from miles away, he felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
Han Xiang.
It was too terrifying!
All the strategies.
Locked together perfectly, leaving no room for any response!
He had to ask himself.
Even if it were not Tong Xiaochu on the front line but himself, Ming Qingfeng, he definitely would not stand a chance either.
The most horrifying fact
was feeling Han Xiang's leisurely demeanor.
Not only did he win,
but he did so with ease.
If it were likened to a game of chess,
it was akin to a grandmaster, ranked at the top in the entire world, teaching a child just learning to play. The difference wasn't just vast—it was monumental!
He truly is...
The Military Immortal!
The once conqueror of seven states!
This time
they in the Great Sheng Dynasty were facing
a true Military Immortal!
Not only was his strategic skill unrivaled, but his personal combat power was also extremely high!
Who among them could possibly stand up to such an opponent?!
"Perhaps..."
Yin Mingchun spoke up, "Why not call General Ji Ji, Xu Wencai, and General Fang who is resting in Capital City? The three of them together might stand a chance against Han Xiang."
"That's not good."
Ming Qingfeng's face was filled with worry, "If Ji Ji and Xu Wencai are both transferred, what to do about the East? Leave it empty?"
"Quickly..."
While the officials were in heated discussion,
the frail voice of Prince Regent rose, settling the choice of commander for this battle.
"Quick, send for White Robe to take command in Liangzhou!"
...
Meanwhile, as the battle continued,
Chen Sansi was also traveling by a large ship via water route, returning to Liangzhou.
In the cabin.
A blue Spiritual Pearl floated in the air, releasing bursts of spiritual energy.
A man in a white robe and a young girl in a yellow dress sat opposite each other, each cultivating.
Chen Sansi's hands were Sealing, and every so often above his fingers, a purple small sword would condense. As time went by, the number of these swords kept increasing, looking more and more like the real thing until script started glowing on the sword blades, and the panel silently emerged.
[Magic: Thousand Swords from Heaven. Second-tier]
[Progress: 0/2000]
[Utility:..., store twenty swords]
Originally,
his Sword Qi Skill could only pre-accumulate up to ten swords, but after his breakthrough, that number doubled.
Without a moment's rest,
Chen Sansi began to practice another spell next.
In front of him floated a shield composed of the Earth Element's spiritual energy drawn from between heaven and earth, appearing from a distance like a solid black earthen wall.
"Crack—"
Suddenly,
cracks appeared on the wall, spreading rapidly and soon covering the entire wall as the gaps swiftly widened until the wall was thoroughly segmented into irregularly shaped earth blocks. However, the wall didn't crumble because of this. Instead, dazzling golden light burst from between these blocks, holding them all together.
This shield, far from being weakened by the appearance of cracks, emitted a peculiar vibration of Mana.
[Spell: Thick Earth Decision (Proficiency)]
[Progress: 0/1000]
[Utility:..., Rebound]
[Rebound: To a certain extent, it reflects the opponent's magic back at them.]
Rebound!
But the specific utility still needed to be tested.
"Little good-for-nothing."
Chen Sansi flicked his finger on the forehead of the girl opposite him, who was still meditating.
Startled from her meditation, Zhaozhao woke up in pain.
Before she could complain in annoyance, Chen Sansi said, "Try casting a spell on me to see how it works."
"Eh?"
Zhaozhao's movement of rubbing her forehead froze, her eyes lighting up: "You won't fight back?"
"I won't."
Chen Sansi assured.
"Okay, okay."
Zhaozhao hurriedly stood up, her movements somewhat awkward as she formed Sealing hands. A blue small sword slowly condensed above her delicate hands, emitting a clear hum in front of her.
Sword Qi Skill!
On the way,
Chen Sansi had casually taught her.
Mana fluctuation.
The Sword Qi burst out suddenly.
In front of Chen Sansi, a wall filled with golden cracks rose.
"Buzz!"
When the Sword Qi struck it, it immediately rebounded back as if a stone had hit a wall.
"..."
Zhaozhao, who had not expected this at all, acted quickly to summon her flying sword to strike.
The two collided.
The Sword Qi dispersed.
But she also fell down with a plop, feeling like her bottom was shattered into pieces.
"Thanks."
"Slam—"
Chen Sansi immediately shut the cabin door, locking her out and ignoring her subsequent stomping. He returned to his cushion, recalling the details of the recent event.
Rebound also had its limits.
It depended on the cultivation level.
If the opponent's cultivation was higher than his own, the rebound would be ineffective.
