Chapter 140: and translation of chapter title
Outside the camp, a raiding unit led by Jiao Mo was silently approaching, the weapons in their hands flashing with a cold light under the moonlight, killing intent palpable.
Jiao Mo was currently riding a warhorse named Sea-Overturning, Wave-Treading Steed.
This warhorse was pitch black all over, its hooves treading the waves, as if a demon leaping from the abyss.
Moreover, the Flood Dragon Sea-Covering Halberd in Jiao Mo's hand was a legendary divine weapon, its shaft coiled with a Flood Dragon that seemed ready to burst forth at any moment, flashing with a soul‑capturing light.
Jiao Mo's gaze burned like a torch, fixed tightly on the Qi army's camp.
He drew a deep breath, steadied his mind, then violently drew the Flood Dragon Sea-Covering Halberd from his hand and shouted, 'Stay close to this commander, follow me in killing!'
At Jiao Mo's command, the raiding unit surged toward the Qi army's camp like arrows released from a bow.
Their movements were swift and orderly, giving the Qi army no chance to react.

Moreover, Jiao Mo led from the front, riding the Sea-Overturning, Wave-Treading Steed to the forefront, his Flood Dragon Sea-Covering Halberd seeming to transform into a giant dragon as he rampaged wildly through the Qi army.
The Qi army's soldiers were caught off guard by this sudden assault, scattering and fleeing in all directions, trying to evade the deadly attack.
But Jiao Mo and his raiding unit had already surged into their camp like an unstoppable flood, dividing them into isolated, helpless groups and then picking them off one by one.
In the chaos, Jiao Mo's Flood Dragon Sea-Covering Halberd seemed to become the very embodiment of the Grim Reaper.
Each swing could take the life of a Qi army soldier.
Wherever the halberd's point flew, flesh and blood scattered and wails filled the field.
And his Sea-Overturning, Wave-Treading Steed also seemed to become a wraith on the battlefield; no matter how the Qi army tried to encircle and block it, they could not halt its advance.
At this moment, Jiao Mo seemed to become a War God, his figure darting across the battlefield; each charge could make the Qi army tremble with fear.
His gaze was firm and sharp, as if it could pierce layer upon layer of mist and reach deep into the enemy's spirit.
「Ding! Jiao Mo's skill Flood Demon activated! 」

Under Jiao Mo's leadership, the raiding unit rampaged wildly through the Qi army.
They swept across the battlefield like a violent wind, leaving the Qi army soldiers in utter disarray.
Their movements were swift and powerful, each strike accurately hitting the enemy's vital points.
Their figures moved swiftly across the battlefield, like bolts of lightning tearing through the night sky.
The battle proceeded with extraordinary brutality; the enemy's patrol units spotted their movements and immediately sounded the alarm.
Enemy soldiers poured in from all directions, attempting to halt their advance.
But Tie Shi Wen's and Jiao Mo's units had already plunged into their hearts like two sharp daggers; no matter how the enemy counterattacked, they could not stop their forward march.
Tie Shi Wen led from the front, charging ahead.
His swordsmanship was fierce and rapid; each swing could take an enemy soldier's life.
「Ding! Tie Shi Wen's skills Azure Dragon Star and Nine Leaves activated! 」

Tie Shi Wen's skills differ from the slow‑heating Flood Demon King.
His two skills are like the White Tiger's, both geared toward burst damage.
At this moment, Tie Shi Wen instantly unleashed both skills, his martial power instantly surpassing Jiao Mo's.
His figure glittered with a cold light under the moonlight, as if a War God had descended to the mortal realm.
Troops surged forward like a tide, they held spears and sharp swords, shouting as they charged toward Tie Shi Wen.
However, before Tie Shi Wen's horse‑cutting saber, these weapons all seemed frail and weak.
Only saw Tie Shi Wen swing his saber once, and several enemy soldiers collapsed instantly; their weapons were easily cleaved by the horse‑cutting saber, and their bodies were flung away by the tremendous impact.
Tie Shi Wen's figure moved swiftly across the battlefield; each step he took seemed to carry the power of an earth‑shaking, mountain‑moving force.
The horse‑cutting saber traced silver‑white arcs in the air, each swing taking a life.
Around him, enemy soldiers collapsed one after another, forming seas of corpses.
Jiao Mo also refused to show weakness, leading the soldiers to bravely kill the enemy.
His figure darted swiftly across the battlefield, like a flash of lightning tearing through the night sky.
After a night of fierce fighting, the sky gradually brightened.
Tie Shi Wen and Jiao Mo stood before the granary, seeing the mess all over the ground and the granary burning fiercely, smiles of victory appearing on their faces.
And at this moment, Tie Shi Wen and Jiao Mo, after a night of fierce battle, also felt a hint of fatigue.
But they knew the battle was far from over.
The moonlight was like silver, shining upon the vast battlefield.
Tie Shi Wen and Jiao Mo were quietly retreating.
Their figures darted swiftly through the night, like two ghostly shadows.
Leading the soldiers, they quickly withdrew from the battlefield, heading toward the direction of Xue Ren Gui and Mo Peng.
Now they are in the territory of Qi Zhou.
Enemies surround them on all sides.
If they don't run now, they'll end up being dumpling filling.
Moreover, this battle not only successfully destroyed the enemy's grain supplies, but more importantly, it struck a blow to enemy morale.
The basic objectives have basically been accomplished.
