Chapter 86

Xiao Yuanshan, in this battle your opponent is me!

Guan Zhen's twin wings soared, and he stood firm above the myriad troops.

A voice as sonorous as the Great Bell and the great Lü spread in all directions.

All who rode the Saber-Toothed Pig in the Dan Ren Cheng army changed expression at the sound!

Within the main force of the Dan Ren Cheng army, there was likewise a person with earth-yellow twin wings growing from his back, soaring through the air.

Hahaha, Guan Zhen, you finally can't sit still!

The stalwart Xiao Yuanshan let out a loud shout,

Today, your Mu Shan Cheng is the congratulatory gift I present to the Jian Chi State for its Spring Festival!

As Xiao Yuanshan went into battle, the morale of the Jian Chi State's great army also steadied.

Then we'll see if you have this ability!

Guan Zhen let out a cold snort,

You let the troops disguise as a merchant caravan and sneak into my Mu Shan Cheng; aren't you afraid of becoming the target of all the surrounding states?

The victor becomes king, the loser becomes bandit!

Xiao Yuanshan showed not the slightest embarrassment at Guan Zhen's rebuke; instead, he gave a faint smile,

As long as I, the general, take your Mu Shan Cheng, no one can spread what happens here abroad; even if the news leaks, there will be no living witness.

By then, your Mu Shan Cheng will merely be the stepping stone for my elevation to marquis and premiership!

Seeing Xiao Yuanshan so shameless, Guan Zhen also had no intention of continuing with idle talk.

He slapped his hand, and the scattered fire elements in the air instantly condensed into a heaven-devouring, earth-slaying fire wolf that lunged to tear at Xiao Yuanshan.

And Guan Zhen's twin wings fluttered behind him, assisting the fire wolf in a left-right pincer attack on Xiao Yuanshan.

Xiao Yuanshan gave a disdainful glance and a smile, raising a single hand.

The earth-yellow heavy elements likewise gathered into a saber-toothed pig as large as a small hill.

The saber-toothed pig's pair of tusks were raised high, flashing with sharp, cold light.

It seemed it could easily pierce any foe.

After the saber-toothed pig appeared, it actively went to meet the fire wolf.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yuanshan's body was encircled by a layer of earth-yellow shield as he went to meet Guan Zhen in battle.

With Xiao Yuanshan resisting Guan Zhen, the well-prepared Jian Chi State legion suddenly let out a resonant howl.

In an instant, the saber-toothed pig vanguard units at the forefront, as if stimulated, had their eyes turn scarlet in a flash.

They continuously spewed scorching breath, charging madly toward the vanguard of the Ben Lang Guo.

Like a lingering afterimage, Guan Shan at the forefront saw this and his face drastically changed.

These people of the Jian Chi State are really ruthless!

Li Kai was right beside Guan Shan, his expression also extremely solemn,

Is this the bewitching bell that stirs the lust of demonic beasts?

The bewitching bell can sufficiently arouse the lust within demonic beasts, making them feel as if they have entered mating season.

Frenzied, contending, victorious!

This is the primary characteristic of male demonic beasts in heat.

But because the bewitching bell must produce different sounds to trigger the heat of different demonic beasts, the bewitching bell used by the Jian Chi State works only on its own saber-toothed pig–type demonic beasts.

Such a spirit treasure not only has the effect of stimulating demonic beasts and greatly increasing their combat power.

It also has the drawback of disrupting the demonic beasts' heat cycle and even affecting their minds.

In other words, if the bewitching bell's arousal power is too high.

It is highly likely to cause this batch of saber-toothed pigs sent to the battlefield, even if they survive, to suffer lifelong harm, making it impossible for them to ever set foot on the battlefield again.

That means these Fellow of the Jian Chi State have already prepared themselves for this battle to decide the fate of the world!

And these saber-toothed pigs, due to the frenzy of heat, will not feel pain at all!

Such a fearless‑unto‑death enemy is the most troublesome presence on the battlefield!

The Combat Soldiers haven't arrived yet; only over a thousand Combat Soldiers are present, and they absolutely cannot match the vanguard of the Jian Chi State.

This battle is up to us alone.

As the words fell, Guan Shan was the first to act.

He clasped his palms together, and clusters of scorching flames surged from his palms, transforming into vivid fire wolves that rushed toward the foremost saber-toothed pigs.

Guan Shan's strength has already reached the threshold of the Wu Sect.

His palm strike is enough to easily instant‑kill these saber-toothed pigs that are merely at the Martial Practitioner level.

Each fire wolf was like a sharp sword, thrust into the formation of the saber-toothed pig vanguard.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of saber-toothed pigs were blasted away, also smashing into the ones behind them!

But dozens of saber-toothed pigs are, to the Dan Ren Cheng army, merely a hair on nine oxen, a grain of sand in the vast sea.

It's utterly useless!

Li Kai and the others beside him likewise employed their methods, and gorgeous blossoms of flame, like splendid flowers, bloomed amid the saber-toothed pig herd.

The most beautiful flowers are often the most dangerous.

The bursting of the flame blossoms unleashed a powerful impact!

Every saber-toothed pig around each flame blossom, amidst the heavy explosion, was blown to bits of flesh and blood!

Despite the brutal war, not a single person in Dan Ren Cheng felt the slightest urge to retreat.

As the vanguard soldiers, they had already prepared themselves for death before stepping onto the battlefield.

And the saber-toothed pigs beneath them, under the influence of the bewitching bell, knew only to charge forward relentlessly, seeking whatever they could press beneath themselves.

If they retreat themselves, they will only end up being ground into meat paste by the Saber-Toothed Pig behind them.

They can only choose to advance, and cannot retreat.

Everything, or nothing at all!

This is the preparation that must be made as the vanguard army.

But Dan Ren Cheng obviously also anticipated that Guan Shan and the others would act at this time.

Strong individuals flashed out from the camp one after another.

"Ice Frost Chill!"

Amid the loud shout, the already cold weather seemed to stir up piercing gusts of wind at this moment.

Crystal-clear snowflakes fell from the sky, and a vast white cold mist rose in the air.

Wherever the cold mist passed, whether fire wolves or flame flowers, they would all be obliterated.

Seeing this, Guan Shan, already trapped in the Saber-Toothed Pig encirclement, had a Furrowed Brow.

"Is this the Ice Profound Sect's method?"

Over these years in Mu Shan Cheng, Guan Shan has certainly not lacked exchanges with the various generals of Dan Ren Cheng.

In his impression, Dan Ren Cheng had not a single Bijang possessing such formidable means!

"Heh, you do have good taste."

In the crowd, nine cultivators dressed in dark robes stood calmly atop several huge Saber-Toothed Pigs.

These Saber-Toothed Pigs are slightly stronger, able to barely resist the influence of the Bewitching Emotion Bell.

Their existence is to protect the spellcasting of those dark-robed cultivators.

"I never expected the Ice Profound Sect to also intervene in the war between Dan Ren Cheng and my Mu Shan Cheng."

Guan Shan sent the approaching Saber-Toothed Pig flying with a single palm strike, and gave a cold, low shout.

The dark-robed cultivators led by the Ice Profound Sect chuckled,

"The Jian Chi State promised to send its people to mine raw stone spirit veins for my Ice Profound Sect, and I, the Ice Profound Sect, naturally must also uphold a front for the Jian Chi State!"

As the words fell, the nine dark-robed cultivators simultaneously formed hand seals.

In an instant, the ice frost coalesced into a giant python several dozen zhang long, which swept onto the battlefield and lunged to bite Guan Shan and the others.

"You go deal with those Saber-Toothed Pigs; I'll take on this giant python!"

Li Kai let out a loud shout, and together with his war beast, the Wind Shadow Wolf, he took the lead in charging toward the ice frost giant python.
