Chapter 695: Where Did the Heavy Cavalry Come From?

Although I don't know what method you're using to let each Flying Sword absorb the moon's energy, I'm not a vegetarian!

Luo Lekang let out a cold snort, watching the Flying Swords battling his Wolf Formation core—the Moon-Bowing Wolf, and it was clear that in every respect—speed, offense, all aspects—the strength of these Flying Swords surpassed the ones that had just attacked him.

From the corner of his eye he saw the clear moon markings on each Flying Sword, knowing they had absorbed lunar energy, which granted them earth‑shattering improvement, and he felt a shock in his heart.

Yet, watching his own Wolf Formation core—the Moon-Bowing Wolf, which also draws lunar energy—under the onslaught of the moon‑empowered Flying Swords, it not only avoided disadvantage but barely took the upper hand.

From time to time, one Flying Sword after another is destroyed beneath the Moon-Bowing Wolf's claws!

Although not as good as before, when faced with the Paper Person pursuit controlled by Wang Ping'an, he unleashed spell after spell, quickly destroying one Flying Sword after another.

At least.

At present, his Wolf Formation core—the Moon-Bowing Wolf—still holds the advantage!

Only.

Luo Lekang's face showed no hint of ease; even though his Wolf Formation core—the Moon-Bowing Wolf—currently held the upper hand, crushing wave after wave of Flying Swords and occasionally shattering one, the sight of more Flying Swords coalescing around Wang Ping'an's Paper Person made his expression all the more solemn.

He realized.

The speed at which his Moon-Bowing Wolf destroys Flying Swords is nowhere near that of the Flying Swords Wang Ping'an conjures—half? No, a third? No, a quarter, even a fifth.

Don't be fooled by the current advantage of his Moon-Bowing Wolf; the tangled battle between the Moon-Bowing Wolf and the Flying Swords made it clear that the Flying Swords Wang Ping'an shapes, empowered by lunar energy, are exceptionally formidable.

He knows clearly that if he cannot succeed, he must first capture the thief before the king, eliminating Wang Ping'an's Paper Person at the fastest speed; once the number of Flying Swords gathering around that Paper Person rises, failure will be his only option.

"How could this happen? My invincible Wolf Formation—how could I meet a rival today?"

Luo Lekang's complexion turned extremely grim; this wasn't his first time using the Wolf Formation—he had employed it many times and faced numerous tough and powerful opponents. Compared with ordinary formations, his Wolf Formation is utterly crushing, surpassing others in every respect.

Even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, before his Wolf Formation, not to mention achieving any advantage, could easily face a life‑threatening danger.

In the past.

By means of this Wolf Formation, he had once slain several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who crossed him; those bastards relied on their Nascent Soul cultivation and ignored him, a Golden Core Stage cultivator, and ultimately fell before him, though some were careless.

More importantly, because his Wolf Formation is so powerful, even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, even when unleashing all their abilities, ends up being torn to pieces by his Wolf Formation core—the Moon-Bowing Wolf.

Never imagined.

Today he met a tough opponent! Luo Lekang watched his Moon-Bowing Wolf destroy a Flying Sword, then swiftly shifted his gaze to the central area of the formation, where Wang Ping'an's Paper Person, surrounded by an ever‑increasing number of Flying Swords, continued to conjure more and more Flying Swords.

Then, using some unknown method, he drew lunar energy, letting each Flying Sword absorb it and become further empowered.

If he doesn't eliminate that Paper Person in time, not only will his proud Wolf Formation be shattered, but his own life will also be in danger.

"I originally wanted to play with you, see what cards you hold, but I underestimated you..."

Luo Lekang let out a cold snort, unwilling to waste more time; he let Wang Ping'an continue, shaping more Flying Swords that absorbed lunar energy and became weapons capable of destroying his Wolf Formation and even threatening his life. He rose, about to step into the Wolf Formation.

With his skill combined with the Wolf Formation, he is infinitely confident—not only against Wang Ping'an's Paper Person but even against Wang Ping'an himself.

However.

Before Luo Lekang could finish speaking, a series of warhorse whinnies sounded nearby; instinctively looking up, the moonlight revealed a distant formation of heavily armored cavalry, men and horses alike.

Luo Lekang was startled and exclaimed, "Where did these heavy cavalry come from?"

He serves as an Imperial Attendant at the Fengyin County Governor's Office, with access to information unknown to ordinary people. In Fengyin County, a Daxia army is stationed, which includes heavy cavalry; however, anyone who becomes heavy cavalry is among the elite of the Daxia army—so elite that out of ten thousand men, scarcely one is chosen, and their benefits rank among the top in the entire Daxia army.

A county like Fengyin can barely afford to maintain a heavy cavalry unit, which is garrisoned outside the county; unless Fengyin faces a great calamity, they never leave the camp.

This novel you...

Liangshui Town belongs to Xiang Xian, which belongs to Fengyin County; it also has a garrison, but no heavy cavalry. The heavy cavalry of Fengyin County could not appear outside Liangshui Town, as only minor incidents have occurred in Fengyin recently, not enough to deploy the heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry before him looked extremely strange!

While Luo Lekang was puzzled about where that distant heavy cavalry emerged—from another county, another state—before he could figure it out, he saw that the distant unit, clearly led by a commanding general, charged straight toward his position.

Though the heavy cavalry unit was small in number, it exuded a momentum that seemed unmatched by thousands of troops.

"Regardless of where this heavy cavalry comes from, they are certainly hostile..."

Luo Lekang watched the charging heavy cavalry, realizing they were launching a charge; his face turned extremely grim. Before he could finish speaking, the leading general nocked arrows and drew his bow, sending a hail of arrows like meteors, their terrifying ferocity sending a chill through his whole body.

It felt like facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, falling into a thousand‑year‑old ice vault.
