Chapter 749 496: Audacious Rodents
On the pale city walls of Guzi Pass, there was a pervasive foul atmosphere at this moment, all transformed into black liquid blood paste from the corpses of Li Xuange's hundred thousand Yin Soldiers after death, as well as the corpses of Daji martial practitioners.
Hoo~~
In the vast sky, the smell of blood and a foul stench permeated the surroundings of every Ji Army soldier on the city pass.
The one hundred thousand Yin Soldiers were all annihilated.
The three enemy commanders, Li Xuange, Xu Puti, and Tuoba Man, who came to attack the city, were also successively killed by their Junior Generals inside and outside the city pass.
Without a doubt, this was an unprecedented great victory since the war with Yuan Country began over two years ago—beheading one hundred thousand and killing all enemy commanders.
However, on the faces of the blood-soaked warriors who survived the battle on the city pass, there was no trace of glory from the victory. Instead, each face was ashen, as if they had suffered a great defeat, losing all hope for the future...
"The Capital, how could it..."
For those soldiers who charged in the borderlands, defending their homeland, everything they did was to protect the lands behind them.
Unexpectedly, as they fought bloodily on the front lines, the Capital in the rear was actually invaded.
At this moment, everyone's mind shook, and they were unable to compose themselves.
Even generals like Xiang Kunlun and Cao Yu could not calm their emotions.
Yet, at this time, a very young and tender voice of a Junior Colonel sounded on the city pass:
"Everyone, Yujing City has not fallen yet. It is only besieged now. Since His Majesty has already issued an edict, calling for heroes and warriors from all over the kingdom to rise and support the King, we just need to believe in the Junior Generals and others. As His Majesty said, the Martial Path will not perish!"
The young Junior Colonel's voice, propelled by his martial arts, spread over several miles, reaching everyone's ears and capturing their attention.
All turned their eyes towards him.
It turned out that this Junior Colonel was one of the students from Divine Martial Mountain who had come not long ago with Chen Ku, named Xue Heng.
As Xue Heng spoke, he looked towards the Heavenly Dome above, at a figure riding on an ancient mutant with a dragon's head and a lion's body, full of admiration and fervor in his eyes.
Under his words.
The classmates from Divine Martial Mountain who came with him to Guzi Pass were also stirred in spirit, their blood boiling, and all shouted in every direction:
"Senior Brother Xue is right, with the Junior General and all the heroes of the world, now that the Capital is in peril, it is exactly the time for us to avert a catastrophe. The Junior General's divine prowess is evident; aiding the endangered and rescuing the country is not beyond our means!"
This group of fellow students who came out with Chen Ku from Divine Martial Mountain knew him best and had long been convinced by Chen Ku in all aspects. Their admiration and trust in Chen Ku exceeded that for anyone else.
They could be said to have witnessed with their own eyes Chen Ku, who was just an Eighth Realm martial practitioner at the time of registration, Junior Brother Chen, becoming the World-Surpassing Longyuan Major General who could kill enemy Thirteenth Realm masters at the front of the two armies in just over a year.
This young man they had only ever heard of in myths and legends.
So even though Yujing City was in crisis, and the one acting was the Yun Emperor of the Great Fortune Dynasty, in the eyes of these fervently trusting fellow students in Chen Ku.
Their Junior Brother now only lacked a bit of time; just a year to ascend from Eighth Realm to Thirteenth Realm battle power.
Give their Junior Brother another year, and he could restore the mountains and rivers with ease.
So they were not at all like other veteran soldiers and generals in despair, because in their hearts, there was a burning flame of hope, making them believe in Chen Ku's future, sweeping away all opponents under heaven.
After all, nineteen-year-old Thirteenth Realm battle power—such circumstances, even the most legendary Champion Marquis since the founding of Daji, couldn't match their Junior General.
In the Heavenly Dome above, the Tengsheng King Body rode a Suan Ni beneath him, with the Eternal Eye atop him, returning next to the Martial Temple within Guzi Pass.
At this moment, Li Shentong and Xie Xuanji finally had time to seriously assess the two formidable forces summoned by Chen Ku.
"This Divine Ape and giant eye..." Li Shentong apparently also recognized the origin of the Heavenly Immortal Species.
Chen Ku said with an unchanged expression, "Some opportunities turned them into avatars, able to be used in the great wars between the two armies; it was worth my previous efforts."
Xie Xuanji's gaze fell on the Eternal Eye where golden and silver lights swirled and intertwined in the pupils, thinking silently:
"The ability of this eyeball seems even more formidable than the Junior General's double pupils, able to infinitely disintegrate anything into primordial qi and then absorb it. Such power, combined with a body that can adapt to it, probably won't take long to advance beyond the Thirteenth Realm for this Stone Man..."
If so, perhaps the crisis of the Capital, with the Junior General going over, really has the chance to establish achievements unseen in history.
"Now that the Capital is in urgent danger, His Majesty specially summons you to enter the Capital to support the King. There are fifteen thousand elite soldiers in Guzi Pass; you may take five thousand with you to enter the Capital." Li Shentong said solemnly.
Chen Ku said, "No, although the Master of Lotus Temple has withdrawn, the Alliance Army of Qi Cultivators outside the pass is still watching intently. The fifteen thousand troops must be stationed at Guzi Pass to ensure that Dragon Abyss does not fall into the flames of war. As for the manpower near the Capital, to be honest, Mountain Master, the matter of my possessing the Hero King Realm shouldn't be a secret. The Hero King Realm contains the three thousand mechanical bronze army forged by Hero King Pei Dongliu back then, which is enough to exert power."
