Chapter 727: The Situation Has Descended into Chaos (3)

Disperse, thousand-man units, give it your all to snipe-kill.

Wu Tie raised his right hand, clenched his fist tightly, then swung it downward.

Outside Lingzhou City to the northwest by three hundred li, in a small town, tens of thousands of Snowplain Warriors were wildly rampaging. Wu Tie's fist pierced through space and came crashing down; the tens of thousands of Snowplain Warriors who were frenziedly killing, looting, and even venting their beastly desires on the spot all had their skulls explode.

You lot, you shouldn't have come here.

Wu Tie looked with mixed feelings at the Snowplain Warriors he himself had slain.

From another perspective, what difference is there between these Snowplain Warriors and the indigenous tribes of the underworld?

They are both fighting for resources, for living space.

The same slaughter, the same plunder, the same hysterical destruction.

Wu Tie cannot condemn these Snowplain Warriors on moral grounds; he can only, in action, use violence to stop their violence.

After all, everyone's camps are different, and the positions they sit on differ.

Besides that, there is no distinction between right and wrong.

One day, if Wu Tie's identity were exposed, the threat he poses in the hearts of Linghu Qingqing and others might exceed that of these Snowplain Warriors, of the major tribes of the underworld, by a hundredfold, even a thousandfold; the hatred gathered upon him might also surpass that of ordinary people by a thousandfold, ten thousandfold.

You all really shouldn't have come here… on that snowplain… even if it's a bit more harsh and difficult, it's still far better than the underworld.

Wu Tie's soul power strained to spread outward in all directions; he lifted his gaze to the blazing sun hanging in the sky, and the small sun transformed from the Solar Grand Dao behind him suddenly blazed fiercely, as heavenly sunlight howled and rushed into that small sun behind him.

Afterward, countless strands of golden sunlight as fine as hair shot straight outward, blanketing a region of tens of thousands of li in radius.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of li, countless Snowplain civilians who had entered this region suddenly stiffened.

From each person's brow, a wisp of extremely fine green smoke sprayed out; the solar golden light entered their bodies, directly burning their brains to ashes.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of li, hundreds of millions of Snowplain Warriors collapsed and died.

On the thirty-six Four Spirit Warships, countless Wuguo soldiers roared and shouted in cheer, forming thousand-man squads one after another, and went forth to meet the endless Snowplain army advancing from afar.

Wu Tie's single strike that mowed down so many Snowplain Warriors was truly a great boost to morale.

Only Wu Tie himself drew a deep breath, took out several Great Dao Treasure Pills to replenish his soul power, and began chewing them with a 'crack-crack' sound.

This strike was indeed dazzling beyond compare, with astonishing battle results, but the consumption was also enormous. Within a radius of tens of thousands of li, precisely locking onto hundreds of millions of Snowplain Warriors without harming the Qingqiu civilians, even though Wu Tie's Divine Fetus Power was astonishing, he was almost drained completely by this strike.

The four Profound Darkness Old Ancestors bellowed in fury, continuously spewing freezing light of Cold Qi from their seven orifices.

With a constant 'crack-crack-crack' sound, vast expanses of blue and white frost, existing between form and formlessness, spread rapidly through the void, instantly filling the space within a radius of tens of thousands of li, encircling Wu Tie together with the thirty-six Four Spirit Warships and the Wuguo soldiers who had just prepared to attack.

The Yin-Yang Daoist gave a cold snort; the black-and-white spiritual light behind him condensed into a rapidly spinning drill bit, which he viciously thrust toward the sky.

With a tremendous boom, the sky's ice crystals and frost shattered everywhere; the interacting Yin and Yang energies whipped up a gale that crushed the countless ice fragments into enormous, incredibly sharp sheets, which, with a piercing tearing-through-air sound, were hurled toward the Snowplain Warriors farther away.

The four Profound Darkness Old Ancestors roared in unison, and the void froze once again.

Wu Tie and the Yin-Yang Daoist joined forces, once again blasting the frozen void to pieces.

Thus the two sides stalemated in midair, while the Four Spirit Warships, under the cover of Wu Tie and the Yin-Yang Daoist, assisted the Wuguo troops brought by Wu Tie as they mighty surged forward against those Snowplain Warriors.

The Snowplain Warriors' battle beast, the Mercedes, roared; the Wuguo soldiers flew through the air, shouting, and the two sides quickly came to close combat.

Those brought by Wu Tie were all elite of Wuguo at the Embryonic Treasury realm or above, having gained the Wuguo state treasury, and with the forging clans of Mohism and the Ou family assisting, the armor and armaments of the Wuguo soldiers under Wu Tie's command were of the utmost excellence.

Unlike the stingy former royal family of the Great Martial God State, Wu Tie spent enormous wealth and material on his subordinates' equipment.

Now this batch of Embryonic Treasury realm soldiers brought by Wu Tie, even their poorest armor and weapons are of a quality approaching that of ordinary immortal weapons.

As for those Snowplain Warriors……

Their weapons, armor, and so on are made of decent material.

Heh, that's it—decent material, as for the quality of their weapons and armor……

A single chop or thrust from a Wuguo soldier would break the Snowplain Warriors' weapons in hand, shatter their armor, and even easily cleave their bodies into several pieces. The battle beasts they rode, with their sharp claws and fangs, were as soft as tofu before the Wuguo soldiers' even sharper weapons, being sliced apart. Even the beasts' thick fur, coated with icy crystal exoskeleton, could not withstand those sharp blades' slashes.

The soldiers under Wu Tie's command, organized into thousand-man units, could easily slaughter Snowplain armies of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in scale.

Around Lingzhou City, aside from the Snowplain Warriors previously slain by Wu Tie with great divine abilities, vast swaths of Snowplain Warriors fell beneath the swords of the Wuguo soldiers.

The Four Spirit Warships lined up side by side, floating in the air; pairs of massive flame wings spread out left and right on each warship, countless blazing feathers screamed down to the earth, each feather capable of burning thousands of Snowplain Warriors into a wisp of green smoke.

The four Profound Darkness Old Ancestors bellowed loudly, their roars turning into the howling of blizzards that carried far, far away.

In the distance, a straight ice crystal highway came flying toward us, as tens of thousands of sturdy men dragged a gigantic ice sculpture ten thousand zhang tall, rushing over here.

Behind the ice sculpture, hundreds of oddly shaped old men clad in animal skins and holding staffs cheered and jumped for joy.

Behind those astonishingly auraed old men, even more, countless Snowplain civilians with wolf-like gazes surged over here.

Wu Tie stared blankly at those Snowplain civilians……

He shook his head, let out a long sigh, and Wu Tie shouted sternly: 'Stop them… retreat… let all the people of Lingzhou and the surrounding prefectures withdraw!'

Those Snowplain civilians surging northward like a tide……

If they were all able-bodied warriors, Wu Tie would slaughter them without the slightest hesitation.

To be kind-hearted and soft-handed in this damned world is impossible to survive.

But among those Snowplain civilians, Wu Tie saw countless elderly, weak, women, and children—especially those as young as seven or eight, who brandished little knives and swords like feral wolves, howling as they charged southward; Wu Tie truly could not bring himself to strike them down.

Wu Tie also could not order his subordinates to massacre women and children.

So, all that could be done was to retreat, retreat, retreat……

Lingzhou fell entirely.

Afterward came the neighboring Mengzhou, Qingzhou, Dezhou, Hezhou……

The Qingqiu Divine Kingdom trembled throughout the nation.
