Chapter 1824 - 87: Heroes Rise and Fall Across the Land
With Jiang Wanxiang’s death, Yuwen Lie, He Ruoqinhu, and Qin Yulong kept his passing a secret, continuing to act as if the Great Emperor of Ying Country were still alive. They led the army toward the Jiangnan border, with a serene and turbulent morale.
The three Divine Generals bore their inner pain and discontent, outwardly maintaining a calm and composed demeanor, upholding the morale and the grand momentum of the army.
Meanwhile, at the city where Li Guanyi once battled Jiang Su.
General Xue’s Mechanical Man was encased in general-level armor. He extended his hand, feeling the surge of his power, as nearby Guan Shier, with disheveled hair, adjusted General Xue’s mechanical arm.
"So, this set of armor is fundamentally crafted using materials sufficient to forge mystical and divine weapons, combining toughness with hardness, and is also excellent at channeling Inner Qi, reducing consumption."
"The last vitality force of the Longevity Guest has already been extracted."
"This will be injected into your body, supporting you in a Grandmaster-level battlefield, capable of sustaining an entire battlefield. But if you output with the power of a Great Grandmaster, it may only last for half a battle."
"And if you insist on using your few ultimate moves at all costs, I’m afraid that with only a few hits, the vitality in the arm of the green-robed guest will be completely exhausted."
Guan Shier helped General Xue adjust the mechanical armor, saying:
"The Martial Arts Legend, it truly is a Martial Arts Legend."
"This Longevity Guest has only one arm left, yet after six or seven years, it can still possess such terrifying power, enough to support a Divine General like you on the last battlefield. It’s truly unimaginable."
"How strong was this Qingpao Changsheng during his prime?"
Guan Shier, a Mo Family Master skilled in Mechanical Techniques, found that these martial artists at the Grandmaster Level and above, even though they might be one in ten thousand or even a hundred thousand, all seemed to exceed his common sense.
Especially in the past few centuries, or rather, for thousands of years as martial arts continually developed, it was only in the recent three hundred years that Martial Arts Legends started to emerge, all monsters.
What is this about being invincible on the battlefield, wielding a long sword that can overturn the world, or having infinite vitality and flesh rebirth?
What is this?!
Monsters, monsters.
It’s headache-inducing.
However, Guan Shier raised his head and saw this five-hundred-year-old elder, a reanimated corpse, flexibly working his wrist again, feeling like his common sense had been battered and forged into something stronger.
Oh well, I’ll get used to it.
Guan Shier thoroughly adjusted the mechanical armor, saying: "In any case, it’s up to you, General Xue. We, as Mo Family Mechanics, don’t have the kind of power you do. From now on, it’s up to you all."
General Xue lazily replied: "Thank you."
"I’ll treat you to a drink next time."
Guan Shier grumbled: "You always say you’ll treat me next time, when is ’next time’!?"
General Xue said confidently: "Next time for sure."
Guan Shier, helplessly, often felt like kicking this guy out of irritation, but this mechanism was his creation, and no Mo Family Mechanic would destroy their own creation.
Furthermore, a mystical weapon’s material.
Guan Shier thought, if he kicked it, his foot might break first.
The Mo Family Mechanic left, grumbling, while General Xue smiled, looking into the distance at the sky. The military’s murderous aura was overwhelming, as the five hundred thousand troops of Ying Country surged forward, while Jiangnan’s military forces were insufficient.
Even though Yue Qianfeng, Li Zhaowen, and others had led part of the army, taking advantage of the rushing waterways to return, they still couldn’t compare to the five hundred thousand troops. It was fortunate that the Formation Leader was continuously fortifying the city’s defensive formations with Si Wei.
With less than half the forces, renowned generals, and formations.
Relying on city defenses, they engaged fiercely.
One army above, one army below.
Li Guanyi and Yue Pengwu were up against the Military God Jiang Su.
While General Xue, Yue Qianfeng, Li Zhaowen, Chen Wenmian, Xiao Wuliang, and Duan Qingyu were relying on the city, confronting Jiang Wanxiang, who burned Qi Fortune and longevity, stepping foot into a realm akin to Martial Arts Legend. Yuwen Lie, He Ruoqinhu, genuine top ten in the world, even amongst the usual top five generals.
Plus, one top ten general, Qin Yulong.
Qin Yulong could rival Yue Qianfeng.
General Xue aimed to find a way to hold off Jiang Wanxiang, while the other generals had a single goal: to use the army’s surge to hold back the remaining three generals as much as possible, engaging in exchanges.
Utilizing the formations of the Formation Leader, Si Wei, and Siming, and the defensive properties of garrisoning a city, they aimed to minimize the negatives brought by the military disparity.
General Xue supported himself on the city walls, looking into the distance: "Two armies, two battles, it’s only about who can hold out, who can’t, who shows fatigue and weakness, and who loses."
He paused his voice: "How did the Sword God fare alone?"
Old Siming looked into the distance, silent for a long time, and shook his head: "It’s too chaotic."
The turmoil of several centuries, the more it approaches the end, the more terrifying, powerful, and tumultuous the accumulated and growing momentum becomes. At this moment, in old Siming’s eyes, the heroic spirit, the king’s presence, the military school’s murderous aura, the spirited battle intent, the martial world’s freedom, the unparalleled Sword Intent.
These are magnificent Qi Fortunes rarely seen in normal peaceful times.
