Chapter 591: Mortal Body

"Step aside, and I can spare your life!"

Standing before these hundreds of cavalrymen, that person seemed unwilling to waste much time on them; they were merely a group of ants, not even qualified to die by his hand.

"How truly pathetic. They only let a lowly military officer like you stand here; this is sending you to your death!"

"They thought I would be provoked, but they guessed wrong. I, He Mujin, will not waste energy on ants!"

He prepared to leave in a leisurely manner from the side, his words carrying a hint of mockery.

The cavalrymen before him were merely cannon fodder pushed out by others, used to contain and consume a portion of his energy, and incidentally, to test his bottom line.

Later, he still had a tough battle to fight; there was no need to waste his energy on these people.

Those people were only at this level—a group of cowards who feared death and only knew how to send others to die.

He had seen plenty of such people who encouraged others to charge to their deaths with grand, impassioned words while hiding in the back, singing and dancing, leisurely and carefree.

Thinking that his opponents were actually such a group of hypocrites, it was laughable that he had appeared so solemn; he had truly thought too highly of them.

But when He Mujin turned to leave, these hundreds of cavalrymen moved in unison, blocking the exact direction he intended to leave.

Looking at the cavalry blocking his path, a hint of killing intent grew in He Mujin's originally playful eyes. He was just too lazy to act, not truly incapable of killing.

"Do you know? You have made me somewhat angry! I will say it one last time: step aside!"

"The Xiaoyun Guard has no tradition of retreating without a fight, and I, Mo Yu, also never retreat!"

The leading general rode his horse forward, sitting on the mount with a calm and resolute gaze, motionless as a mountain, as if nothing could shake him in the slightest.

He was Mo Yu, Main General of the Xiaoyun Guard and Left Guard General of the imperial court. Behind him were the people of the Northern Frontier, and before him were the enemies who had slaughtered countless people.

He would not retreat, and even more so, he could not retreat!

"A bit of courage, but do you know you will die?"

"I know, but I only seek death; what is there to fear!"

Silently drawing his sword, Mo Yu swung it forward fiercely, and at the same time, he spurred his horse into a gallop, charging at the very front.

"Xiaoyun Guard, kill!"

"Kill!" Hundreds of cavalrymen roared in response, their horses' hooves rising and stomping heavily onto the grassland. The earth trembled, and a thick, rich blood-Qi surged into the clouds, as if the entire sky had been inexplicably dyed red.

Hundreds of cavalrymen charged together, yet it seemed to unleash the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping; with Mo Yu as the arrowhead, they swarmed forward like an unparalleled sharp sword.

"Heh, ants!" He blew a light breath at the cavalrymen whistling toward him from the opposite side. It was just a single breath, yet within ten miles, the grass and trees were covered in a layer of frost, and the previously mild weather instantly entered the depths of winter.

Wherever the icy breath passed, everything that could move was frozen into ice sculptures, as if all life within ten miles had been severed by that light, airy breath.

Yet the opposing cavalry continued their charge. Hundreds of cavalrymen were basically frozen stiff, but they continued to charge without even a groan.

Accompanied by the sound of hooves, their blood-Qi connected into one, barely resisting the instantly arriving chill. More of it was used to protect the horses beneath them, while they themselves used their physical bodies to endure it head-on.

Finally, they approached He Mujin, but there was not a trace of panic in the opponent's eyes, not even a hint of tension.

"Boom!" Almost in the blink of an eye, the two sides collided. It was as if the hundreds of cavalrymen had crashed into an indestructible city wall in an instant.

Before He Mujin, there seemed to be an invisible but rock-solid barrier blocking the way; no matter how many cavalrymen threw themselves forward one after another, it was of no use.

The leading cavalrymen were crushed into pulp under the force of their full-speed charge, yet those behind continued to charge forward bravely, completely unaware of what fear or panic was.

They had no sorrow, nor anything else; they continued to charge forward without stopping, as if they were a group of true killing machines.

The people in front died, but those behind felt themselves growing stronger.

He Mujin realized it: this was integrating an Array into a Military Formation. When those in front died, their blood-Qi could be added to those behind, which was why those behind were becoming stronger and stronger.

Yet those in front acted as if they were mad; knowing they would surely die, not one retreated, but instead seemed as if they were impatient to crash into him.

They were not seeking battle; they were seeking death.

Only when those in front died could those behind become stronger and have a possibility of surviving.

What a fierce army, but unfortunately, a mortal body is ultimately a mortal body; human strength always has its limits!

"Kill!" The leading Mo Yu held a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, leading the dwindling number of cavalrymen to continue charging back and forth frantically.

Once, twice; the people around him grew fewer, but they also grew stronger.

In the end, only a dozen riders remained by his side. The thick blood-Qi almost condensed into form, like an indestructible blood-colored long spear, crashing fiercely toward the opponent.

In He Mujin's surprised eyes, the blood-colored long spear actually pierced through his outermost layer of seemingly indestructible defense.

In this final collision, the entire cavalry troop was reduced to just Mo Yu alone, who even fell from his horse; all the others died in that final charge.

"You were actually able to break my defense. Interesting, truly interesting!" A flash of killing intent crossed his eyes; he had not been this angry in a long time.

A terrifying aura of pressure descended like a ten-thousand-foot-high mountain; he wanted to crush this person who dared to provoke his majesty into meat paste.

But at this moment, Mo Yu struggled to crawl up from the ground. He was slightly bloated; the essence of hundreds of cavalrymen had all gathered into his own body. With the body of a Grandmaster Realm, he seemed to have fused infinite realms.

Facing that terrifying pressure, even though his seven orifices began to bleed, Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged. Struggling, he walked toward this side step by step.

One step taken, the aura of the original Grandmaster Realm changed directly into Transcendence; two more steps taken, and he had already entered True Soul.

Three steps, four steps; by the end, even He Mujin could not help but change his expression slightly. This was definitely not just the power of a Military Formation!

The person opposite was clearly flesh and blood, bones shattered under his aura of pressure, yet he was still walking forward. Was this person a madman!

Just like that, he walked step by step to his front. With the two of them only inches apart, Mo Yu suddenly bared his teeth and smiled at him.

"You just said that they left me, a lowly military officer, here to send me to my death. Actually, that is not true. The reason I am here is because I requested it myself."

"Even they thought that my volunteering to stop you was a pipe dream, but I wanted to try!"

"Because for this battle, I do not seek to live, only to die!" Inches away from He Mujin, Mo Yu's hair was disheveled, blood and filth covered his face, and of his armor, only a few iron shards remained hanging on his body.

He inserted his spearhead into his own flesh, wedging it between his bones to force himself not to fall.

"The Xiaoyun Guard was actually cultivated with Secret Medicine. Their lives had already entered their twilight; they should have been brilliant, yet they withered in their prime. It is my Mo Family that failed them!"

"It is their lives that dyed my official rank of Mo Yu red!"

Raising his head, Mo Yu revealed a smile that was not quite a smile. "At the final moment of their lives, I hope the Xiaoyun Guard can die on the road of the charge. This is their pride, and also their glory!"

"The Xiaoyun Guard lives and dies together. Since my brothers have already died, how could I live alone!"

"Main General of the Xiaoyun Guard, Left Guard General Mo Yu, specifically comes to seek death!"

Mad laughter rang through the wilderness, and with Mo Yu as the center, a terrifying power suddenly erupted. Wherever it passed, vegetation withered and turned yellow, and beyond the nine heavens, dark clouds gathered, with streaks of thunder seemingly plunging the surrounding World into the end of days in an instant.

This suddenly erupting, terrifying power made even him feel waves of heart palpitations.

So it turns out that a mortal body can also shake the heavens and move the earth; it is truly inconceivable!
