Chapter 32

Isn't this simple? You wait for me to double my attributes, then rush up, use my appearance to give him a stab, just wound him, then you run; if he doesn't chase up and kill you, I will share your surname.

Translation: "Shen Tianxing didn't believe Hong Yi had no way; that was the system's AI, saying this to him was just teasing him, and Shen Tianxing directly said how to do it merely because he didn't want to waste time."

We need to keep names: Shen Tianxing, Hong Yi.

It's pointless. Hurry up, I'll go give him a vicious stab; otherwise he might never decide to chase you.

Translation: "Boring, then hurry up; I'll go give him a vicious blow, otherwise he probably won't muster the resolve to chase you."

【13】

Shen Tianxing took a sip of Thunder Jade, took a puff of Splendid, and even Ke Xi had a sip.

【18】

Thus translation: "Shen Tianxing immediately took a sip of Lei Bi, held a Hua Zi in his mouth, and even Ke Xi took a sip."

Vice Commander Zhang, he's the one who led the blockade against us and even killed a Ten-thousand Commander; our forces have dwindled from a thousand to fewer than three hundred, yet he's been holding firm at the North City Gate, preventing us from retreating or contacting Marshal Fang for reinforcements.

【23】

Thus translation: "Vice Commander Zhang, it's him who led the blockade against us, even killed a Ten-thousand Commander; from 1000 men we've dwindled to under 300, yet he still holds fast before the North City Gate, preventing our retreat and blocking contact with Marshal Fang for reinforcements."

The one who reported this situation was a Thousand Commander, drenched in blood, who had just narrowly escaped being beheaded by Shen Tianxing.

Translation: "The one who reported this situation was a Thousand Commander, also covered in blood, and just now he almost had his head chopped off by Shen Tianxing's blade."

【29】

Translation: "The Vice Commander Zhang he spoke of was sent by the Wan Qianjun to open the way; now the battle at the central position inside Humen Pass has been suffering successive defeats, with the hundred-thousand-strong army split into two halves."

The ten-thousand-strong army's attempt to break out from the south side is already impossible, but the main force on the north side has suffered relatively little losses; they must break through the North City Gate chokepoint in order to retreat to the rear camp.

Translation: "Wan Qianjun's attempt to break out from the south city side is already impossible, but the main force on the north city side hasn't suffered heavy losses yet; they must break through the North City Gate checkpoint to retreat to the rear army camp."

【35】

Translation: "Now Wan Qianjun knows they cannot escape; his 50,000 troops are blocking those who have poured in from outside the South City Gate and those hidden in the city who suddenly emerged at the central position."

The purpose was to allow the other Great Wu army to retreat, so Vice Commander Zhang became the vanguard, leading 5,000 men intending to easily open the North City Gate and withdraw, but now Shen Tianxing is firmly blocking him.

Translation: "The purpose was to let the other Da Wu army retreat, so Vice Commander Zhang became the vanguard, leading 5000 men intending to easily break open the North City Gate and retreat, but now Shen Tianxing firmly blocks him."

【41】

Translation: "Trash, only a few hundred remain; you've lost thousands yet still can't breach the gate— that Xu trash deserved to die. Officers and soldiers, follow me, the Commander, in killing; we must open the North City Gate."

Kill!

Translation: "Kill!"

【47】

Translation: "Another fresh force joined; hearing the battle cries, the already exhausted 200-plus Da Zhou troops trembled all over in fear."

Move aside, our reinforcements have arrived.

Translation: "Make way, our reinforcements have arrived."

【53】

Translation: "Shen Tianxing suddenly let out a roar; the already exhausted 200-plus Da Zhou troops immediately made way to the sides of the gate, and Shen Tianxing also cleared the path."

Just then, a hundred light cavalry came charging from behind, spearheading the assault. Their initial charge alone knocked down and killed over a hundred enemies.

Translation: "Only then did one see the 100 light cavalry that had come sprinting behind him take the lead and charge in; just that single charge knocked down and killed over a hundred."

【59】

Translation: "Yet this wasn't over; those hundred cavalry then went on a frenzied charge and slaughter, cutting down another hundred in an instant."

The Great Zhou army, which had genuinely expected reinforcements, was utterly disappointed; although these hundred cavalry arrived to buffer the enemy's offensive, it was merely a drop in the bucket, making it impossible to hold on any longer.

【64】

Translation: "The Da Zhou troops, who had thought reinforcements had truly arrived, were greatly disappointed; although these 100 cavalry came to buffer the enemy's offense, it was like a drop in the bucket—utterly insufficient to hold on any longer."

How come? You're all scared, aren't you? Don't forget what we said before setting out—today we've come here to die.

Translation: "How? You're all scared to death, right? Don't forget what we said before setting out—today we've come to die."

【70】

Translation: "General Yang is leading our main force in a desperate battle on the south city side, waiting to annihilate them completely, then break through the obstacles on this north city side to reinforce us."

We've lost so many brothers just to hold the North City Gate; if you're now afraid and want to retreat, how can you face the fallen comrades?

Translation: "We have lost so many brothers just to hold the North City Gate; if you now fear and want to retreat, can you face the fallen brothers?"

【76】

Translation: "I, like you, am also killing the enemy—what's there to fear? With such little courage, how can you kill enemies, earn merit, and defend home and country?"

Today we have stopped them, allowing our main force to annihilate them entirely, which will buy the Great Zhou a long period of peace; you are the heroes who save the masses.

Translation: "Today we have blocked them, allowing our main force to annihilate them entirely, which would buy Da Zhou a long period of peace; you are the heroes who save the common people."

【82】

Translation: "Only by fighting to the death without retreat can your families feel proud, can the Sovereign see our achievements, can your kin receive greater compensation; follow me in killing, fight to the death without retreat."

Shen Tianxing roared to boost morale, though he actually felt some reluctance, but there was nothing he could do; he lacked the ability to rally troops en masse and had no aura that could temporarily unleash extraordinary combat power in his soldiers.

Translation: "Shen Tianxing roared to boost morale; actually he also felt some reluctance, but there was nothing to be done—he lacked a group-inspiring skill and had no aura that could temporarily make his soldiers burst with superhuman combat power."

【88】

Translation: "Although these are sold in the System Mall, they all cost 100,000 Killing Value, which Shen Tianxing currently cannot afford; they are so expensive because they are skills and auras that can greatly enhance soldiers' combat power on a large scale, plus special items."

Shen Tianxing's encouragement had a huge effect; the Great Zhou army, which had barely any morale left, now burst into a heart-wrenching roar, brandishing their blades and spears, and followed the light cavalry in a relentless charge.

【91】

Kill, fight to the death, never retreat.

Translation: "Kill, fight to the death without retreat."

【97】

Translation: "The sudden surge of morale plus the charge of the hundred light cavalry indeed caught the Da Wu army off guard, and even Vice Commander Zhang furrowed his brows tightly."

This brat is definitely trouble; you few, follow me and kill him first.

Translation: "This brat is indeed a trouble; you few follow me to kill him first, let's slaughter this brat."

【103】

Translation: "Vice Commander Zhang issued the order, and immediately several Thousand Commanders and a Ten-thousand Commander responded."

Subordinate, I obey!

Translation: "This one receives the command!"

【109】

Translation: "The Da Zhou troops blocking Zhang's few men were not many; after a dozen or so were slain by them, they arrived at Shen Tianxing's position."

Kid, your arrogance ends now—go die!

Translation: "Kid, your arrogance has run its course—die!"

【115】

Translation: "Vice Commander Zhang brandished his spiked club and smashed it hard toward Shen Tianxing's head."

Shen Tianxing, holding a Splendid, saw his martial power surge to 6,570 points, equivalent to a seventh-grade, first-layer master.

Translation: "Shen Tianxing, with a Hua Zi in his mouth, now had his martial power soar to the equivalent of 6570 points, a Seventh Grade First Layer expert."

【121】

Translation: "Facing Vice Commander Zhang, who is a Fifth Grade Fourth Layer, he casually swung a blade, triggering the Broken Blade, which split Zhang's spiked club in half."

At the same time, the Dragon Slaying Blade's skill Dragon's Roar activated, instantly causing Vice Commander Zhang, the several Thousand Commanders beside him, and a Ten-thousand Commander to feel dizzy, as if frozen in place for three seconds.

Translation: "At the same time, the Dragon's Roar skill of the Slayer Dragon Blade activated, instantly causing Vice Commander Zhang, the few Thousand Commanders beside him, and a Ten-thousand Commander to feel a dizzying spin, as if frozen there for three seconds."

【127】

Translation: "Congratulations, Host, for successfully triggering the Dragon's Roar skill, successfully dazing everyone within a 5-meter diameter for three seconds."

Who would have thought triggering Dragon's Roar would also produce a system alert tone, but that's irrelevant; the important thing is that Shen Tianxing instantly activated Wind and Thunder Nine Turns, pushing his speed to the extreme.

Translation: "I didn't expect triggering Dragon's Roar to also produce a system prompt tone, but that's unimportant; what matters is that Shen Tianxing at this moment directly activated Wind Thunder Nine Turns, pushing his speed to the extreme."

【132】

The final move of the Breaking Army Blade Technique, 'Shatter Myriad Forces', instantly cut off six heads: Vice Commander Zhang, a Ten-thousand Commander, and four Thousand Commanders.

【136】

Translation: "The system's prompt tones also sounded repeatedly at this moment!"

Congratulations, host, for your first kill of a Vice Commander, earning 40,000 kill points; your martial dao realm has risen to fourth grade, eighth layer; item drop: basic army-wide martial power attribute boost halo, top-grade Tiger Head Gleaming Gold Spear, and 150 taels of gold.

【139】

Congratulations, host, for slaying a Ten-thousand Commander, earning 20,000 kill points; item drop: level three green emerald, and 1,000 taels of silver.

Translation: "Congratulations, Host, for slaying a Ten-thousand Commander, gaining 20,000 Killing Value, item drop: Level 3 Green Gem, silver 1,000 taels."

【145】

Translation: "Congratulations, Host, for consecutively slaying four Thousand Commanders, total Killing Value 20,000, reward: Beginner Lottery 10 times, item drop: Basic Spear Technique, Level 3 Purple Gem, High-grade Second-tier Troop Summoning Token, silver total 2,000 taels!"
