Chapter 589: Chapter 267: Super Central Plains People (Part 3)

Rumble~

The thunderous sound of hooves echoed across the wilderness, carried by the wind to the distant horizon.

For several days, Ye Qingzhou rode tirelessly, breaking through settlements of the Celestial Wolf Race, staining the entire grassland with blood. An eye for an eye, blood for blood, these nomadic beasts who believed in the law of the jungle met their end under even greater violence.

This is called ’reaping what you sow.’ You can’t claim survival of the fittest when killing others, only to cry foul when you’re the one facing the blade, can you?

Wearing blood-stained armor, Wang Junfeng rode up to Ye Qingzhou: "Master, according to the scouts’ report, the Celestial Wolf Royal Court should already know of our arrival. They are gathering their army, planning to encircle and destroy us."

"Hehe~"

Ye Qingzhou chuckled coldly, "A reasonable tactic, but unfortunately, they encountered us."

A hundred soldiers, all of whom broke through the Opening Gate, are super soldiers with the powerful physique of Professional Level Martial Artists. They were clad in three layers of lamellar armor. Even without horses, they could serve as heavy tanks on the battlefield in the cold weapon era of Da Liang.

In the battles over the past few days, almost all frontal attack operations were executed by the soldiers, while the two thousand cavalry led by Wang Junfeng and Nie Shixiong were mainly responsible for clearing the battlefield and scavenging supplies.

After more than thirty battles of varying sizes, the enemies slain exceeded two thousand, and how many casualties were there among the one hundred and twelve soldiers?

Zero.

The most severe injury was merely a graze from an enemy arrow on the battlefield, without even drawing blood.

Both Wang Junfeng and Nie Shixiong, who accompanied the expedition, looked at Ye Qingzhou with feverish admiration, regarding him as a god: "Indeed, the times have changed. The future will belong to the realm of Martial Dao. Common soldiers facing the soldiers of our Divine Martial Army will only be slaughtered."

Nie Shixiong, coming from a military family, knew even more how unparalleled the existence of these soldiers was.

The current armies are utterly defenseless against soldiers trained in Heart Martial Sect’s cultivation technique; encountering them on the battlefield would lead to a one-sided massacre.

Yet these soldiers had only broken the first golden lock, passing through the first gate!

Beyond the Opening Gate, there remained seven more gates: Resting, Raw, Injury, Blockade, Reverence, Death, and Fear!

Nie Shixiong’s heart burned with passion, seeing an unprecedented path before him. As long as he followed Ye Qingzhou, he would surely be remembered through the ages, praised for generations.

’Both Junfeng and I have broken through the Injury Gate as Tier Three warriors. He has acquired the divine technique of Copper Skin and Iron Bones, while I have the Dragon Spirit and Tiger Fierce. Purely in terms of combat power, either of us has the strength to take on a thousand men single-handedly. As for Master, he can see ten thousand armies as nothing. With such martial power, is there anyone in the world who can stand against us?’

At this moment, Nie Shixiong had a feeling that he was witnessing the arrival of a new era: ’From now on, in the Central Plains, only those who have ascended to the pinnacle of Martial Dao will qualify to be the Emperor of Nine and Five.’"

Ye Qingzhou charged forward relentlessly, but when the military might reached the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Wolves Celestial Mountain, he suddenly halted, setting up camp and advancing no further.

Bow Fox Mo Rigen believed this was a sign that Ye Qingzhou’s edge had been dulled, with the army’s morale and energy weaning, a reasonable conclusion.

After all, normal humans have physiological limits to their physical and mental capabilities, hence the saying, ’The first vigor is easiest, the second weakens, and the third exhausts.’

However, neither the top nor the bottom of the Celestial Wolf Race realized they were facing an army ahead of its time; they were not dealing with ordinary Central Plains people but a group of "Super Central Plains People."

The reason Ye Qingzhou stood his ground was not due to an inability to continue fighting, but to allow the Celestial Wolf Race sufficient time to gather their forces, giving the soldiers a chance to annihilate them in one decisive battle.

Bow Fox Mo Rigen of the Cyan Mane Division restrained the eagerness of the other four divisions, persuading them to continue amassing their forces. Either abstain from fighting, or fight with full strength like a ’lion hunting a rabbit,’ also to see if the Central Plains people had any hidden schemes.

Ten days!

They waited for a full ten days.

Ye Qingzhou permitted the five major tribes of the Celestial Wolf Race to assemble their forces, swelling their number of archers to one hundred and fifty thousand, including ten thousand Celestial Wolf Cavalry. These cavalrymen, armed with lances and clad in armor, were renowned throughout the world.

’Bow Fox’ Mo Rigen was extremely cautious; his scouts and reconnaissance riders were dispatched beyond a hundred miles, confirming that the Central Plains army before him was indeed isolated, without any reinforcements before he raised his whip and ordered the attack.

The desolate sound of horns echoed over the vast grassland, followed by the earth trembling as the sound of hooves like thunder approached.

"Kill!"

Swish swish swish~

An overwhelming rain of arrows descended upon the Divine Martial Army’s position, immediately turning the hundred-plus soldiers into porcupines.

However, facing this barrage as dense as locusts, the entire complement of soldiers remained unmoved until Ye Qingzhou commanded: "Divine Martial Army, attack."

"As ordered!"

Over a hundred soldiers responded in unison. Then, they shook their bodies, bursting with strength, shedding the arrow shafts embedded in their lamellar armor onto the ground before beginning to sprint at a hundred-meter dash speed.

The nobles of the Celestial Wolf people laughed in disdain, seeing that the soldiers, numbering just a hundred, dared to mount a counterattack.

But quickly, the laughter froze on their faces.

The soldiers charged into their formations at a speed faster than galloping horses, as if in no one’s territory, wielding battle halberds and iron swords to slaughter their troops mercilessly.

These soldiers, each with immense strength and nimble bodies, could even knock over and kill Celestial Wolf Cavalry, rider and horse together, just by body-slamming them.

"Those who offend my Central Plains, no matter how far, must be executed!"

Under Ye Qingzhou’s training, the soldiers had become an army with conviction, their Power of Thought Ability derived from the countless citizens of Youzhou.

And most of them were of humble origins themselves, allowing them empathy and the resolve to protect their homeland.

Without such conviction, it would be impossible to refine the Power of Thought Ability and break the golden lock of life so quickly.

When an army with belief possesses overwhelming martial strength, their fighting spirit becomes indestructible, and when facing the enemy, they become invincible!
