Chapter 845: Chapter 653: A World of Difference + Chapter 654: Race Against Time
October 3rd, auspicious for rituals, inauspicious for warfare.
The sunlight hung high in the mid-sky, tinged with a faint pallor, while the western wind blew fiercely, banners fluttering.
Zhou Ping’an sat upright atop a massive white tiger, behind him an army of fifty thousand surged with overwhelming might, their bloodshot eyes glinting with murderous intent.
Ahead, Ten li away, the Northern Garrison had already formed their massive battle array, with enormous green turtle shells visible even from afar, sending chills down the bones of onlookers.
For days on end, Yue Chengtian’s supernatural ability, the one wielded by the Northern Garrison’s commander, had wreaked havoc upon the Ping’an Army.
The suffering inflicted upon Zhou Ping’an’s forces had been considerable.
Victory seemed within reach, yet the opposition’s resilience proved tenacious, always managing to cling onto the last gasp of survival.
When spread across the army, this divine technique enhanced the defensive power of each soldier exponentially.
When concentrated, it shielded only Yue Chengtian himself, forming an impenetrable barrier akin to layers upon layers of thick, indestructible oceanic ice; breaking one layer only led to another, endlessly overlapping.
Behind the Yue-character banner of the Northern Garrison, sharp-eyed individuals could still make out another flag embroidered with the Xiao-character, black background with golden patterns, fluttering in the wind.
A contingent of twenty thousand Iron Cavalry, clad entirely in gleaming Silver Armor that enveloped both men and mounts, dazzled under the sunlight, almost blinding.
"Brother, Xiao Yuanfang has been riding day and night, covering fifteen hundred li in three days to rush to the battlefield. He must be confident enough to secure victory in a single decisive clash. Engaging them head-on now may be rather challenging."
Bai He, overseeing military affairs, had spent recent days meticulously gathering intelligence on the Northern Garrison and Imperial Army.
Particularly, before any engagement, he paid close attention to collecting information on the generals commanding various armies.
He had an exceptionally thorough understanding of Xiao Yuanfang.
"This General Xiao has cultivated the Great Sun Golden Sun Evil Qi. Although he hasn’t led troops into battle for the past ten years, back during the rebellion of Prince Fu a decade ago, his Golden Sun Radiant Light divine ability melted gold and iron, burned mountains, severed rivers, and crushed his enemies without opposition.
If he employs such fire-based divine skills in conjunction with Yue Chengtian’s Unbreakable Water Shield, it could spell significant trouble for us."
"Divine skills are ranked by levels. No need to worry; second brother, just lead your troops and follow me as we charge forward. Xiao Yuanfang’s Golden Sun Radiant Light can neither overpower me nor harm any of you."
Zhou Ping’an wasn’t boasting.
After cultivating the Star Spirit Body Perfection, with Nine Luminaries aligned and a formation of Nine Stars surrounding him, any Yin-Yang Five Elements attacks that struck his body would essentially be nullified nine times out of ten.
Moreover, the "Picking Stars and Moon" divine skill was considered top-tier even in divine ability rankings. Legendary myths praised it as unmatched in achieving ultimate physical power.
Not to mention Xiao Yuanfang and Yue Chengtian’s Evil Qi-based pseudo-divine abilities.
Even if they wielded flawless Completion Rank divine skills developed from true body refinement, few could rival the supremacy of "Picking Stars and Moon."
In the duels of military generals, there was one saying: only divine abilities can counter divine abilities.
A higher level simply crushes the opposition.
Thus, Zhou Ping’an had no concerns about what tactics his opponents might attempt to deploy.
"All troops, advance!"
Activating the Tiger Talisman, Zhou Ping’an took the lead, transforming into a streak of blinding white light as he charged forward.
With a resonant roar, he shouted, "Yue Chengtian, come forth to meet your end!"
No matter what tactics Xiao Yuanfang and Yue Chengtian devised upon the former’s arrival.
He simply disregarded them.
Ultimately, whatever strategy the enemy adopted, they had to contend with the point of his army’s spearhead.
If they couldn’t withstand the assault, all would be for naught.
Warfare in this world seemed overly intricate yet remarkably straightforward.
Modern society’s elaborate strategies and sophisticated tactics held no real applicability.
It was all about advancing, advancing, and advancing again.
The role of generals was emphasized to the maximum limit.
If a general triumphed, even a few thousand troops under their command could prevail against tens of thousands, leaving no room for doubt.
"Such audacity!"
A deep green water curtain, akin to surging ocean waves, rose abruptly, blocking Zhou Ping’an’s path.
The Northern Garrison’s commander Yue Chengtian galloped out with steed and lance, before him layers of water barriers amassed, each tens of zhang thick, as sturdy as steel, yet as supple as silk.
With this divine ability at his disposal, Yue Chengtian believed that no one in the world could cross its line.
"Let’s see if you can withstand me this time!"
With his foundation cultivated 512 times to perfection, Zhou Ping’an possessed the near-mythical strength to shoulder mountains.
He wasted no words.
Summoning the three-pronged, twin-edged blade formed by Cang Yue, he swung it downward, unleashing pale blue starlight from the skies.
The blade’s wind shrieked sharply, tearing apart airflows dozens of zhang ahead, causing the void to collapse layer by layer...
The dense, ocean-like green Turtle Shield caved in and fractured continuously, until a streak of jet-black blade light came within three chi of Yue Chengtian.
Cracks appeared on the crystalline, extraordinarily solidified surface of the water shield, seeming on the brink of shattering entirely.
Yue Chengtian remained astride his steed, his lance held horizontally, while the bones within him emitted anguished groans.
Snap...
The white horse beneath him had already been mangled into a pulp of flesh and bone. His body shook, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot, his frame sent flying back over ten zhang before landing. Upon standing upright, fear filled his eyes.
Several strands of black hair at his temples turned gray in an instant.
It didn’t break, true enough. free𝑤ebnovel.com
But even after dissipating ninety-nine percent of the force, the remaining impact from the strike still pierced through, inflicting injuries to his internal organs.
This time, Zhou Ping’an’s power was clearly severalfold greater than three days ago.
Most terrifying of all...
That recent blade strike was evidently executed casually by Zhou Ping’an, with no explosions, no True Yuan enhancements—merely the raw strength of his physical body delivering an ordinary swing.
