King of Creation Chapter 1804 - 1789: Venting Qi and Raising Eyebrows

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

Each number, like a death warrant, flew from Ye Zhen’s lips. General Wu Chong of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, who had initially remained indifferent, unconsciously swallowed his saliva, sweating on his forehead.

"Two!"

The moment the word ’two’ was spoken, Ye Zhen made a gesture. Commander Zheng Dangshi, who had been waiting for the order, became ecstatic and shouted, "Prepare the crossbows!"

Swish, swish, swish!

The sound of crossbows being readied filled the air. The ten thousand troops of North Sea County immediately took up the standard shooting formation for crossbow covering fire.

Seeing Ye Zhen’s fierce expression, General Wu Chong of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom grew uneasy, "Raise the formation! Quickly, raise the formation!"

Regardless of whether they would really attack, it was better to be prepared just in case.

With a low shout, Wu Chong hurriedly spoke to Ye Zhen, "Commander Ye, I am simply carrying out orders, you see....."

"Surrender five thousand men and sever your own legs. This is your last chance!" Ye Zhen rudely interrupted Wu Chong.

Wu Chong’s jaw clenched tightly, flames of anger burning in his eyes.

Ye Zhen’s demand was impossible.

If he surrendered five thousand men, he might as well forget about his future.

"One!"

Ye Zhen lowered his last finger, and in that instant, his expression turned icily cold, "General Wu Chong of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom intends to rebel against the formation, attack!"

Almost the moment Ye Zhen uttered the word ’attack,’ Commander Zheng Dangshi did not immediately give the order; instead, he glanced at Ye Zhen. Seeing Ye Zhen’s eyes filled with killing intent, he then looked toward Liuu Feng.

Meanwhile, Wu Chong nearly spat out blood upon hearing Ye Zhen. You, an honorable Wind Patrol Envoy, accusing a marquisate’s general of rebellion—can this really be happening?

Would anyone really believe it?

Liuu Feng understood Commander Zheng Dangshi’s intention. Because the opposing General Wu Chong wasn’t to be underestimated, after they had prepared their formation and crossbows, the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom’s troops also raised their formation.

However, they raised a defensive formation, thousands of specially refined shields connected together, with the soldiers’ own spiritual power as input, immediately forming a heavy Guardian Light Screen at the forefront of their army.

The overall strength of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom’s ten thousand elites far exceeded that of the North Sea County’s army. With this Guardian Light Screen, even a full salvo from North Sea County’s ten thousand Wind-Fire Crossbows might not harm the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom’s troops.

In contrast, if North Sea County’s forces acted first, and their opponents weathered the initial barrage, they would definitely counterattack.

In such a situation, losing the suppressive advantage of the crossbows would put North Sea County’s forces at a disadvantage.

Commander Zheng Dangshi saw this clearly and therefore requested Liuu Feng to act first.

"Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters, open fire."

With Liuu Feng’s command, two hundred Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters at the Divine Communication Realm stepped forward from the main force, each brandishing a massive crimson crossbow emanating destructiveness.

On the crimson crossbows, countless fiery spirit arrows flickered with Spirit Light, looking especially terrifying.

"Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow? No!"

Seeing the giant crossbows in the hands of the two hundred Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters, General Wu Chong of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom exclaimed in shock.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, from battlefield commanders to low-ranking officers, who wasn’t aware of the horror of the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow?

However, the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows were strictly controlled, equipped in only a few military units and the imperial guard besides the Human-Demon Battlefield.

Yet the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow and the Wind Winged Hunting Crossbow were the standard equipment for the Heavenly Patrol Department’s Divine Hunters, granting them free choice between the two.

Each route’s Wind Patrol Envoy had a thousand in their configuration, but most preferred the more discreet, individual combat-capable Wind Winged Hunting Crossbow.

Ye Zhen’s Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy, however, had uniformly requested a large number of Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows, with only a few opting for Wind Winged Hunting Crossbows.

"Fire!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The piercing sound of arrows tearing through the air and the explosive flames illuminated General Wu Chong’s face with terror in his eyes!

Years ago, Ye Zhen used a mere ten Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows to eliminate a late-stage Dark Palace Realm being. A barrage of two hundred such crossbows would force even a Realm King Realm expert to retreat.

The terrifying energy released in that instant flattened the Guardian Light Screen raised by the soldiers of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom.

As thousands of shields simultaneously crumbled into dust, the four to five hundred soldiers caught in the blast’s epicenter were obliterated.

Simultaneously, Commander Zheng Dangshi let out a wicked laugh and sharply ordered, "Fire!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

With each Wind-Fire Crossbow releasing three shots, thirty thousand Wind-Fire Crossbow Arrows rained down upon the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom’s forces like a deluge.

"You... you really dared to make a move?"

"Ye, you’ve caused such a big mess, aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to explain it?"

Amidst the roar, the Right General of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, Wu Chong, erupted with an aura of the Realm King Realm like raging waves. He absolutely couldn’t sit by and watch his soldiers being bombarded like this.

He dared not touch the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow’s blanket shooting, but the Wind-Fire Crossbow’s blanket shooting, he had the ability to block at least one-third.

This way, fewer of his brothers would die.

But just as Wu Chong’s spiritual power erupted, a chill suddenly descended from above, causing Wu Chong to shiver unexpectedly.

As Wu Chong raised his head, he saw Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy Ye Zhen coldly staring at him.

That cold gaze seemed as if it could directly smash into his Dark Palace, making him feel ice-cold all over. Ye Zhen’s gaze was like a mountain suspended above his Dark Palace, as if any movement would cause his Dark Palace to be smashed into smithereens by those two mountains.

This was not an illusion.

In just a moment, Wu Chong felt the spiritual power within him become unsmooth.

Wu Chong was terrified!

This feeling, he only had it when facing the Dao Realm National Master of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom.

Instantly, Wu Chong’s back was drenched in cold sweat.

Yet Wu Chong didn’t dare move a finger. He had a premonition that if he dared to move even slightly, he would become a dead man in an instant.

Especially that short whip hovering above Ye Zhen’s head, emitting ferocious bravado, made Wu Chong feel like a wooden post standing there.

Wu Chong didn’t dare move, but within the army of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, there were still a hundred Dark Palace Realm Martial Artists.

These hundred Dark Palace Realm Martial Artists were all intermediate-level commanders, even without Wu Chong’s command, they roared angrily and rushed forward to resist the overwhelming barrage of Wind-Fire Crossbow Arrows.

With these hundred Dark Palace Realm Martial Artists taking action, and the combined force of those two thousand Divine Communication Realm lower-level officers, Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom’s army managed to withstand more than half of this wave of volley, with only more than two hundred casualties.

"Sacrificial Guard, advance!"

With Ye Zhen’s sharp command, three hundred Dark Palace Realm priests, led by two Realm King Realm priests, erupted with strange and powerful auras, charging toward the ten thousand soldiers of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom.

Ye Zhen’s three hundred priests had overwhelming power against the ten thousand soldiers of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom.

Moreover, these priests, who had been studying diligently for years in the Ancestor God Temple, were much stronger in martial skill and secret divine power techniques compared to ordinary martial artists.

As they charged into the army of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, led by two Realm King Realm priests, they were like tigers in a flock of sheep, moving effortlessly.

Previously aggressive Dark Palace Realm Martial Artists were subdued one after another within just three breaths, like hawks catching chicks.

Moreover, these priests from the Ancestor God Temple were more ruthless. Those who didn’t resist were directly captured or knocked down with a single move; those who dared resist were instantly killed with heavy blows.

Watching this, the Right General Wu Chong’s eyes almost split apart, but he didn’t dare move at all.

However, Ye Zhen’s three hundred priests moved in quickly and retreated swiftly.

After killing or capturing the one hundred Dark Palace commander-level officers in the army of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, they quickly withdrew.

Ye Zhen turned to Commander Zheng Dangshi and smiled with a sinister grin, "Now, the power between your two armies is about the same. It’s up to you now! Fight freely, I want five thousand cripples; if you can’t get enough, you’ll be filling in!"

Commander Zheng Dangshi laughed heartily, "Your subordinate obeys your military order!"

"Squad battle, follow me to kill!"

With a furious roar, Zheng Dangshi led his nine thousand five hundred soldiers charging into the panicked, leaderless formation of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom.

Watching the battling sides, Ye Zhen nodded in satisfaction.

Although their army of North Sea County took advantage of the situation and directly captured the mid-to-high-level officers of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom’s army, from the displayed strength and tactics of North Sea County’s army, the training over the years was not in vain.

The only shortfall they had was in cultivation.

Because of the exchange between Ye Zhen and Commander Zheng Dangshi, Wu Chong’s Divine Soul suppression was slightly loosened, giving the latter the courage to speak.

"Ye, you’re bold! You dare kill my Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom’s soldiers without cause...."

As soon as Wu Chong’s shout started, Ye Zhen’s gaze sharpened, Divine Soul Power surged, forcing Wu Chong to shut his mouth.

At the same time, already charging into Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom’s formation, Zheng Dangshi shouted furiously after slashing and killing a Divine Communication Realm officer, "Surrender on your knees, won’t kill!"

"Surrender on your knees, won’t kill!"

The roar swept across the area around the Ancient Teleportation Formation like tidal waves, causing those soldiers who originally had no heart to resist to fall to their knees with plops.

With their General Wu Chong standing there not daring to move, and all mid-to-high-level officers captured, what reason did they have to resist?

In less than ten breaths, the remaining eight thousand soldiers of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom kneeled to surrender.

Ye Zhen’s underling North Sea Army, like a fierce tiger, pounced and began capturing them one by one.

Commander Zheng Dangshi stood with the head in hand, wielding the knife, waved his big hand and said, "Bring out five thousand, break their legs for me, if lacking even one, you’ll break your own to make up for it."

"Yes!"

In the moment the spirited shout of North Sea Army resounded, the sound of breaking bones and the cries of Marquis Haiyuan’s army simultaneously echoed.
