I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 254 - 114: Killing Tiered Xiaoyang, Stage 3? [Qiu Yue Votes Requested]
On the wasteland, a group of Xiaoyang Race Soldiers fled in panic, their formation scattered across the hills to avoid pursuit.
Some Xiaoyang Race Soldiers looked back while running, fearing the pursuers behind them.
There were also some Xiaoyang Soldiers who felt relieved when they saw many of their people behind them while looking back.
At the rear of the fleeing Xiaoyang, Shen Can collected the bones of a slain Tier Three Xiaoyang Thousand Captain.
He paid no mind to the scattered Xiaoyang Race Soldiers running away, and changed direction to leave.
Within the Xiaoyang Race Soldiers, Celestial Vein Martial Artists from the First to Fifth Realm might hold the position of Centurion or Thousand Captains.
It depends on the clan composition of the Xiaoyang Race Soldiers; if they come from a smaller tribe with fewer people and weaker forces, even at the Celestial Vein Fourth or Fifth Layers, they might just be a Centurion.
If the clan soldiers are more numerous, even at the Celestial Vein Third Layer, they could be a Thousand Captain.
At the Myriarch Level, it’s mostly Celestial Vein Sixth or Seventh Layer Martial Artists.
Above Myriarch is General, where Martial Arts Realm is mostly Celestial Vein Eighth Layer.
However, there are some rare instances where Martial Artists only have Celestial Vein Third or Fourth Layer, yet serve as Generals.
This situation happens either due to strong clan power or true ability of the person holding the position.
Above that is the Commander stationed in a region, reaching Celestial Vein Ninth Layer.
Currently, Shen Can is hunting Tier Three Martial Artists of the Xiaoyang Race. Whether they are Centurions, Thousand Captains, Myriarchs, or Commanders, he deals with them when encountered.
It’s said that the middle and young generation of the Jishan Bo Division were severed in confrontation with the Xiaoyang Race.
He thinks Xiaoyang’s strategy is good.
A good strategy, it should be learned.
Shen Can is unclear how many outstanding Martial Dao talents exist among the Xiaoyang youth, but it doesn’t matter; focusing on Celestial Vein Martial Artists is a sure bet.
Even ordinary Celestial Vein Martial Artists, in small clans within the Xiaoyang Race, hold positions like small tribe leaders or Elders.
Killing one is like taking down a small tribe’s "Huo Chang."
This strikes the foundation potential of the Xiaoyang Race, and he can gain resources from them.
...
Southern moving Xiaoyang Army, besides confronting Jishan and Yanran after Blood Gate Mountain City in the east and Liuming Ancient Land in the west were respectively held.
From the Xiaoyang Race Territory line to Blood Gate Mountain City, spanning ten thousand miles north-south, four main strongholds were set up to oversee clan migration and sweep the north-south zone clear of Human Race Tribes.
For Celestial Vein Martial Artists, traversing the north-south distance of ten thousand miles, even without hastening, can be completed in one or two months.
Including water routes, war beasts, flying birds, the speed is even faster.
Not to mention Shen Can, a Tier Three Witchcraft Path peak, with combat strength on par with Celestial Vein Ninth Layer Martial Artists.
With Divine Sense of sixty zhang, supplemented by witchcraft, and Xiaoyang having camps or migrating tribes near wetland areas, this greatly aids him.
Can’t say he rivals Tier Four, but beneath Tier Four, he’s invincible against ordinary Tier Three, really isn’t difficult.
Moreover, on his path, overhead the Cyan Simurgh patrols hundreds of miles above, while Huo Ning, Huo Yaan, Huo Tu among clan members relay information.
Using these methods to hunt Ordinary Celestial Vein Martial Artists of the Xiaoyang Race is simply crushing.
Back then, the Xiaoyang Race schemed against the Jishan Bo Division, targeting gifted Martial Artists to ambush.
But he doesn’t, any Celestial Vein, whether talented or not, they are slain.
Ordinary Celestial Vein Martial Artists of the Xiaoyang Race might seem insignificant, yet they form the backbone of clan soldiers, Thousand Captains can act independently in small-scale operations.
Xiaoyang’s cleansing of remnants employs Myriarch leading troops, Thousand Captain splitting forces, respectively encircling and annihilating human race tribes rebuilding.
Like before, tribes like Huo Chang and Huo Ning with over ten thousand to twenty thousand members are few.
Most rebuilding tribes have between two or three thousand members, some less than ten thousand.
In such cases, a thousand Xiaoyang Race Soldiers suffice to attack these rebuilding tribes.
Now it’s all right, the Thousand Captains leading troops are continually being eliminated.
...
Jinyang Mountain Ruins Market.
"How many Thousand Captains are still leading troops!"
In the city, Mu Yun roared angrily, as one of the four great strongholds.
After breaking the human race’s defense line, the Mu Kang Branch summoned ten thousand clan soldiers from the race for him.
Moreover, he can recruit Xiaoyang Tribesmen migrating from the Xiaoyang Division at any time, controlling more than hundreds of thousands of soldiers if calculated.
Originally, all this was fine, the nearby region was mostly rebuilding scattered small human race tribes, not requiring him to personally take action.
The clan soldiers under his command, though not as elite as those confronting Jishan, easily suppress these remnants and wanderers of human race.
Now it’s all right, reports continuously coming in of Celestial Vein Martial Artists disappearing.
Disappearance?
Disappearance my ass!
Even those nameless Scattered Division Celestial Veins are being hunted.
How can they play like this!
In the hall, a group of Xiaoyang Martial Artists were silent as cicadas in cold, not daring to speak up.
"Muijiang, you speak."
"Commander." Called out Xiaoyang Myriarch lowers his gaze, "In the past six months, seventy-eight Celestial Vein Martial Artists under me have disappeared."
"Commander, tribe leaders migrating from the mountains, sixty-three have disappeared."
At this point, another Xiaoyang Myriarch spoke.
Like humans, the forests of Xiaoyang Race’s Clan Land contain many small tribes with only one or two Celestial Vein Martial Artists.
These small tribes are similar to human savage tribes, without much inheritance, without witchcraft, their clan’s foundation allows only promotion to Celestial Vein First or Second Layer.
