Chapter 131

She led these thousand troops, taking advantage of the Lion Clan's main army not yet returning, to ravage the western territories of the Lion Clan, throwing them into chaos and leaving them no time to bother with the Cat Clan at all!

The combat power of the centaur warriors also caused some shift in Meng Ying's original plans.

These centaur warriors, blessed by the Lord of Flame, had grown far stronger than before.

Combined with their full-body armor, their combat power was no ordinary strength!

The current strength of the Sacred Wasteland far exceeds what Qing Ling and Meng Ying had originally estimated!

That's why Meng Ying decided to launch a major move!

Eliminate the two tails chasing them, deliver a heavy blow to the Lion Clan, then return!

Perfectly, by the time they return, the Cat Clan should be nearing the Sacred Wasteland!

As for any future attacks from the Lion Clan, Meng Ying was utterly unafraid!

This time, the Cat Clan successfully completed their thousand-li migration, the Lion Clan lost several of their units to her, and the name of the Sacred Wasteland would surely resound throughout the Beast Kingdom!

If the Lion Clan attacks the Sacred Wasteland, it would suit Meng Ying's intentions perfectly!

"This force is much more elite than the previous two, and far larger in number."

The centaur chieftain said.

Meng Ying nodded: "This must be the force from Wang Cheng—they have iron armor protecting key parts of their bodies!"

The centaur chieftain said: "There's an iron mine in the Lion Clan's territory, but their iron-smelting technology is terrible."

The two chatted as if utterly unconcerned about the battle below.

Though one side had only a thousand centaurs, the other had over two thousand elite Lion Clan warriors.

As the centaur warriors charged down the high ground, Meng Ying said: "Let's go, Chieftain—we're descending too!"

"Alright!"

The centaur chieftain sprinted down the high ground!

On the grassland, the two forces rapidly closed in.

This grassland was larger than the previous small plain, giving the centaurs more time to accelerate.

But this time, the centaur warriors would not use their previous tactic!

This time, Meng Ying had received a revelation from the Lord of Flame—she intended to test a new tactic!

She meant to decisively end this battle!

After days of constant travel, the centaur warriors were already exhausted!

Just hours ago, these centaur warriors had barely finished a major battle.

Meanwhile, the Lion Clan warriors still retained relatively full stamina!

As the distance between them shrank to mere hundreds of meters, both sides drew their spears.

Beasts move fast and are strong—on their battlefields, throwing spears before close combat is standard practice!

In small-scale engagements, one or two volleys of thrown spears might end the battle.

In large-scale battles, thrown spears can effectively disrupt the enemy's rhythm and halt their charge.

This Lion Clan force was no doubt elite from Wang Cheng.

The tips of their throwing spears were wrapped in iron!

Iron spearheads!

This greatly enhanced the spears' penetration power.

On the other side, the centaur warriors still used spears carved from wood!

Closer, closer!

The centaur warriors charged against the light, their bright armor glinting blindingly.

But it didn't matter!

At the front, Prince Bert gripped a sword in one hand and raised his spear in the other!

Behind him, every single Lion Clan warrior raised their spears!

The centaur warriors raised their spears too!

But the next instant, flames suddenly erupted in perfect unison along the centaurs' spears!

Red flames!

These flames formed a single continuous line!

Together with the reflection off the centaurs' armor, they created two dazzling lines!

"Trivial tricks!"

Prince Bert saw the flames on the centaurs' spears but paid them no mind.

Spears with fire wouldn't gain much more killing power!

After charging another dozen meters, Prince Bert hurled his spear with all his strength at a centaur warrior!

Instantly, thousands of spears flew forward in unison!

And the centaurs' spears flew toward them too!

The two lines of spears crossed in midair.

Then, they plunged into each other's ranks!

All the Lion Clan tribesmen had raised their shields!

The flaming spears struck the shields!

And then…

"Boom!"

For some reason, the flames suddenly exploded violently!

The explosion of flames blasted the surrounding Lion Tribe warriors into the air!

The blast's impact force was only secondary.

The flames that scattered from the blast landed on the Lion Tribe warriors' bodies and burned violently, turning the Lion Tribe troops into a sea of fire!

Immediately after, the second wave of Centaur warriors' spears arrived!

This wave of Centaur spears still carried blazing flames!

These flames landed on the Lion Tribe warriors further back, then exploded once more!

"Boom!"

Two waves of spears turned the Lion Tribe troops completely into a sea of fire!

A large number of Lion Tribe warriors were blasted to death on the spot!

Still more Lion Tribe warriors were burning all over, rolling on the ground trying to put out the flames.

But these flames clung like maggots on bone—there was simply no way to extinguish them!

Meanwhile, the Centaur warriors who had been charging madly a moment before ground to a halt dozens of meters away, watching coldly!

The flames burning on their spears were Blazing Explosion Fire!

This was the Exploding Spear tactic Lin Yan had tailor-made for them!

Lin Yan's Seventh Layer flame was precisely obtained from the Centaur High Priest's Blazing Explosion Fire.

As a special variant flame, Blazing Explosion Fire was extremely violent, exploding at the slightest provocation!

The power after explosion was even more terrifying than a pure dynamite blast.

After Lin Yan modified the Seventh Layer flame, the Blazing Explosion Fire he possessed could now control its own mode of explosion.

Generally, it would only explode after striking a target.

So Lin Yan granted these Centaur warriors the authority to pray to him and receive Blazing Explosion Fire.

This work was naturally handled by the Virtual Divine Spark.

After receiving the prayers of these thousand Centaur warriors, the Virtual Divine Spark distributed Blazing Explosion Fire down through the threads of faith; each portion of Blazing Explosion Fire contained very little energy, only a hundred points.

Too many energy points would be unnecessary for one thing, and for another, the difficulty of transmission would increase!

A thousand portions of Blazing Explosion Fire only consumed a hundred thousand energy points in total.

Of course, energy points didn't only flow out without flowing in.

The energy points produced by the burning after Blazing Explosion Fire exploded still belonged to Lin Yan!

So although these two waves of spear attacks by the thousand Centaur warriors consumed a hundred thousand energy points, the energy points contributed were far more!

Of course, such a tactic wasn't without a limit on the number of uses.

The Virtual Divine Spark's transmission of items through the threads of faith wasn't free!

If Lin Yan didn't want to consume the divine power in the Virtual Divine Spark, he could only consume some of the believers' spiritual power.
