Chapter 301

Mu Yi can defeat a Legend with his Transcendent body, but that does not mean anyone can defeat a Legend.

Even with Cloud Energy, a technique that Military Strategists devise specifically against individual strongmen, it cannot completely smooth out the power gap.

A gap is just a gap.

"The scum just lie flat on the ground!"

The defending general roared, looking at Chang Haoran who scrambled up from the ground and kept charging at him, and dismissed him with extreme contempt.

The spiked mace in his hand, ringing with wind and thunder, smashed a charging Shock Cavalry, then he stretched his long legs and rushed toward Chang Haoran.

"Die, scum!"

Seeing the shadow enveloping him, Chang Haoran inhaled deeply, gathered all his essence into his spear, and instead of retreating, charged straight forward.

"Puff!"

The spear pierced the opponent's abdomen, and in the next instant Chang Haoran's head was smashed to pieces by the spiked mace.

He pulled the spear out of the abdomen; the defending general wore a ferocious grin, having not expected Chang Haoran could actually wound him.

Seeing the headless corpse on the ground, he kicked it away in a fit of unresolved hatred.

"Surround him!"

Zhou Zhengye stared at the kicked‑away corpse, his face cold; this group had all served under Mu Yi, fought side by side many times, and their camaraderie was indeed deep.

Seeing Chang Haoran suffer this treatment, anger rose naturally, and he led his elite guard to replace the Shock Cavalry, surrounding the monster‑like defending general in the center.

The linked force twisted the defending general's whole body, but his terrifying brute strength resisted, preventing the linkage from restraining him.

"Another clueless little bug!"

The aura emanating from the defending general grew more Frenzy, as if he had slipped into a berserk state; his eyes turned blood‑red, his skin a deep crimson, he gasped heavily, battling the physical distortion of the vortex legion.

"Die!" Though his aura grew more Frenzy, his mind was not yet fully chaotic; on the chaotic battlefield he made the right call—to lead from the front and use his personal valor to revitalize the whole situation.

Now the defending general was fully Frenzy, sprinting several times faster than a warhorse; after locking onto Zhou Zhengye's position, he roared and charged.

His opening swing of the spiked mace swept horizontally, piercing straight through the defensive formation propped up by several vortex soldiers ahead.

Although it clearly hindered the Frenzy giant's power stance, it still could not stop him at that distance.

After smashing the soldiers before him, he lunged like a tiger into the ranks, knocking a vortex soldier to the ground and crushing a swath of them.

Several soldiers crushed on the spot died instantly, and those within the affected area fell and could not rise again.

"Roar!"

Amid the Frenzy roar, a howling gust surged toward Zhou Zhengye.

"Turn it for me!" Zhou Zhengye strained to manipulate the vortex stance, redirecting the mace's strike so it slammed into the ground.

"Boom!"

The intimate clash between the mace and the earth carved a deep crater on the ground, like a meteor impact.

"This monster!"

Zhou Zhengye clenched his trembling hands, hoping to rebuild the defense before the opponent launched his next attack.

On this chaotic battlefield he knew that each second he delayed the enemy increased his side's chance of victory.

Mu Yi, positioned in the central army, was directing commanders Guan Linglong, Yang Weiping and others to dissect the Mongol forces; once the Mongols collapse, turning to surround and slay the monster before them will be a breeze.

"Probably won't survive the next move!"

Zhou Zhengye's face grew grim; the disparity between the sides was enormous. Even with Cloud Energy suppression, he and the three hundred vortex guards behind him could only withstand a single strike—such power was truly terrifying.

Seeing a weapon drawn from the deep crater and the monster's gaze upon him, Zhou Zhengye felt a chill on his scalp yet did not flinch, holding the rotating vortex stance, awaiting the enemy's next ferocious assault.

"Roar!"

Without hesitation, the Frenzy monster surged forward again, its mace bearing a destructive aura crashing down.

"Puff~"

When the vortex stance slightly twisted the attack and then shattered under the blow, the soldiers holding the defense and Zhou Zhengye both spat blood.

"Vajra Demon‑Subduing!"

Just as the monster had not yet lifted the mace from the ground, a golden Vajra phantom appeared high above, raising massive hands to smash down on the monster.

The caught‑off‑guard monster was driven into the earth.

"Li Tian, don't be careless; an attack of this magnitude won't…" Zhou Zhengye's words were cut off.

Through the smoke, the monster's silhouette surged, its mace slipping from its hand and smashing the golden Vajra phantom to pieces.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by Frenzy momentum, the defending general's Frenzy aura grew even more volatile, unable to bear the constant obstruction, driving him further mad.

"What an exaggerated fellow!"

Mu Yi, in the central army, watched the seemingly unstoppable monster and couldn't help but frown.

The Cloud Energy gathered by the Mongol troops tangled with theirs, preventing the suppression effect from reaching its full potential.

The imperfect suppression of force meant that none under Mu Yi could still block the opponent.

However, this is only temporary.

Seeing the school‑blade troops led by Guan Linglong piercing the flank, Mu Yi issued a new command, directing them to avoid the Mongol hard‑hit, then slash fiercely through the enemy's breach, further stalling their Cloud Energy flow.

The defending general's power exceeded expectations, likely reaching this world's limit; Mu Yi could only choose to first cut off the opponent's wings, then concentrate force to deal with him later.

A Legend backed by a large army is indeed not an easy target for Mu Yi to hunt.

After all, when dealing with a Legend creature, Mu Yi's most effective method now is to use the army's Cloud Energy to suppress, then drain the opponent's strength, and finally slay them.

Now, in the heavens, the two armies' Cloud Energies intertwine, making maneuvering impossible; to deal with a Legend like the defending general, only lives can be piled as fill.

Seeing Li Tian and Zhou Zhengye powerless against the monster‑like defending general, Mu Yi could only continue sending men to stall.

"Ao Mo, you go too, hold that monster!"

"Argh!"

Upon hearing the command, Ao Mo revealed his strongest half-human, half-dragon posture and charged at the huge monster.

Frenzy monster's reason had mostly evaporated, but sensing Ao Mo's aura, it still gave a ferocious grin, immediately abandoning the half-paralyzed Li Tianhai and lunging at Ao Mo.

In a single step, it instantly crossed all distance and stood before Ao Mo.

Ao Mo wore heavy armor, himself already extremely tall and mighty, but before the monster he was like a newborn calf.

Although size does not equal strength, it also indicates the problem.

The monster's huge, sturdy frame kicked up a fierce gust of wind, and in an instant it appeared behind Ao Mo, then swung down a heavy punch like moving mountains and overturning seas.

Boom!

Like a meteorite falling, the terrifying heavy punch boomed and smashed toward Ao Mo's occiput.

Ao Mo reacted swiftly, twisting his body to evade while thrusting his Sea-Stabilizing Spear; azure light enveloped the monster, as if to comfort it.

"Pfft~"

Blood spattered three zhang.

All of Ao Mo's responses were meaningless before the huge fist; the heavy force shattered everything with unstoppable power.

Ao Mo let out a painful howl, spitting mouthfuls of blood onto the ground.

But there was no time to grieve; sensing the wind and thunder descending, Ao Mo endured the pain and rolled to the side.

Rumble!

Like an ancient deity hammering the earth, the Frenzy monster descended from the heavens, blasting the ground with a thunderous roar.

The Frenzy monster relentlessly pursued Ao Mo; each step forward, each leap, rumbled with the terrifying power capable of shattering mountains.

Ao Mo fled in disarray; the gap was too great. Even though he had touched the threshold of Legend, without entering Legend his true dragon blood could not fully sublimate, making it impossible to contend with such a monster.

"Chu Yi, go help Ao Mo; don't confront it head-on, just buy time!"

Rumble!

The ground suddenly surged up several sharp earth spikes, blocking the Frenzy monster's path; the Frenzy monster hesitated not, directly punching and blasting the ground.

The surged earth spikes were directly shattered by the heavy force.

However, when the monster rushed out of the smoke and dust, rare bloodstains appeared on its body.

As the Mountain God, the surroundings are his domain; Chu Yi's combat power is fully equal to Legend.

If it weren't for the ley lines near the city not yet under Chu Yi's control, Chu Yi alone would be enough to hold back this monster.

With Chu Yi's support, Ao Mo regrouped, adjusted his state, coordinating with endless earth arts to attract the Frenzy monster's attention, making it cease interfering with the battlefield as much as possible.

Sensing the ground tremble, Mu Yi drew his sword, leading his five hundred personal guards, and charged at a formation of Mongol troops.

He clearly knew that Ao Mo and Chu Yi could not hold back that monster; he must speed up breaking the formation, only then could he directly kill the enemy.

He did not directly reveal his Incense Golden Body trump card; although there was no evidence, his intuition told him someone was spying on him.

In such a situation, retaining one or two trump cards within one's ability is the optimal choice.

"Break!" Mu Yi roared, sword and blade drawn together.

The next instant!

Qi and blood surged, Inner Qi gushed forth, will blossomed.

Essence, energy, and spirit fully merged into the sword and blade, booming as they swept sideways before the Mongol troops.

In just a moment, dozens of Mongol soldiers were cut in half amidst the blade light and sword shadow.

Crimson light converged toward Mu Yi, crimson armor appeared on his body, adding three points of terror to him.

"He is the enemy commander! Charge together! Kill him!"

Already bloodshot-eyed Mongol officers roared loudly, rushing toward Mu Yi's position.

However, many more clear-headed Mongol officers, without a hint of hesitation, turned and fled in the opposite direction, fighting as they went.

They all knew that going up would be suicide.

Only those bloodshot-eyed fools dare to face such a monster that could rival their own general.

The next second!

Just as that young Mongol lieutenant roared and lunged at Mu Yi, an icy blade pierced his throat, pinning him to the ground.

"Ah?"

Several other bloodshot-eyed Mongol officers instantly came to their senses, instinctively shrank their necks, fearing they too would be pinned.

"Go, charge together; retreating now is suicide!"

"Give it all, kill him, a great merit!"

"Charge together!"

A few Mongol officers, though somewhat clear-headed, still harbored a sliver of luck, gripping their weapons and stubbornly charging at Mu Yi; at this distance, even if they wanted to leave, they'd have to ask Mu Yi whether he agrees.

On the battlefield, having one's back to the enemy is no different from suicide.

Mu Yi's eyes grew slightly cold, revealing specks of crimson, as he stepped forward.

Swish!

One sword strike!

One Mongol officer was directly sliced in half.

These officers' strength could match Chang Haoran and the like, but in Mu Yi's eyes they were utterly insignificant.

With the Soldier Lord's power at his side, Mu Yi slaughtered the weak with such speed that it even surpassed the legendary monster on the other side by a third.

"Sizzle!"

The blade light swept past, half of his body was directly severed.

Before the officer lying on the ground, split in two, could even howl, Mu Yi's Holy Sword had already split his skull, plunging him into eternal slumber.

About a quarter of an hour later, under Mu Yi's personal leadership in the charge, the Mongol army was completely routed.

Nearly all command points were severed by Mu Yi; over half of the grassroots officers died, and the remaining Mongol troops needed only a simple charge to break through twice, instantly becoming scattered sand.

Watching the Mongol cloud energy gradually dissipate, Mu Yi did not order a pursuit; instead he gathered the troops, re‑formed the ranks, tidied the cloud energy above his head, and moved to encircle the position of the city defending general.

Even with Ao Mo and Chu Yi restraining him, the number of soldiers killed by the city defending general was not small, reaching as high as over a thousand.

It can be said that every minute and every second, soldiers were dying in the enemy's hands.

Boom!

When the frenzied monster struck down with another punch.

A flash of blade light, and Mu Yi's broadsword in his hand severed its arm.

"Ah!"

Pain allowed the city defending general, lost in frenzy, to regain a little clarity, but the agony of the severed arm made him hate Mu Yi intensely, and his aura became even more frenzied.

Crimson light flowed over Mu Yi's armor, the stacking of the "Ferocity" mark pushing his attributes to a terrifying level.

The frenzied city defending general had slain over a thousand, yet Mu Yi's kill count surpassed even that.

Under the attribute boost from Iron‑blooded Slaughter, even a Legend was severed at the arm by Mu Yi with a single blade.

Gazing at the monster's body covered in countless wounds, Mu Yi's expression grew dark and solemn; each wound was the result of the soldiers' desperate struggle.

"Six Harmony Formation — Cloud Energy Suppression!"

Thick cloud energy condensed at a point, causing the monster's figure to suddenly lag by a fraction.

Without the interference of the Mongol army's cloud energy, the suppressive effect was fully realized on the city defending general.

"Next strike, I'll cut you down!"

It was as if he were talking to himself, yet also as if he were making a promise to the fallen soldiers.

Mist spread everywhere, enveloping Mu Yi and the monster's forms; to avoid being spied upon, Mu Yi chose this method.

"Six Paths Reincarnation Slash!"

Within the mist, blade light flickered, the power of reincarnation burst forth, yet remained hidden within the mist.

The mist dissipated!

Mu Yi stepped on the corpse of the headless giant and revealed a provocative smile toward the heavens above.

He knew someone was watching.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap rang out from nowhere, Mu Yi's mocking expression deepened, and he even imagined that a horde of demons and monsters would burst forth from the void.

He never expected that the only response would be this sort of impotent fury.
