Chapter 458: Head-on Confrontation
Before the thunder fell, Zhou You noticed something unusual inside.

Just like a crack in the body, the thunder carries traces of the stimulation of qi and blood, which is man-made.

It is certain that this bolt of thunder is the aftermath of a powerful martial artist's punch.

Yanshan stepped forward and stabbed the sky with his long spear, which was like thunder, and he lived up to the nickname of Overlord.

A huge amount of thunder hit the ground, the heaven and earth trembled, and the horse he killed was burned into a ball of charcoal on the spot.

The blinding light flickered unsteadily, like a raging flame that could not be quenched for a long time.

When the vision became clearer, many martial artists risked blinding their eyes to look.

The burnt and smelly air was filled with thick smoke, which drifted away with the wind, revealing the tall silhouette of Yanshan Mountain.

He held a spear in one hand, and as his name suggests, he was like an unshakable mountain. His originally neat robes were now in tatters.

The ground ahead was covered with burnt black soil, still emitting a wisp of heat.

"Phew, that's powerful."

Yanshan exhaled a puff of smoke and laughed.

Everyone in Overlord Martial Arts School felt relieved. Disciple Yan Wanjun hurriedly took out a new robe and quickly stepped forward to put it on him.

This incident alone further solidified the position of the number one martial artist, and everyone acknowledged his status as the leader of Yanshan.

Fortunately, after the thunder, there was no aftershock and the noise of the fierce fighting gradually faded away.

There are people in the team who are good at observing geographical directions. After some calculations, they came to the conclusion:

"They are retreating towards Gongliang City. Our strong forces have the upper hand."

In fact, the two sides' powerful force is a tug-of-war, sometimes you take a step forward, sometimes I take a step forward, and the winner has not yet been determined.

But the Wu Clan’s forced retreat is good news that is encouraging.

The atmosphere became noticeably more excited.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a martial artist was bitten by a marmot that emerged from the ground, and he killed it with a single punch.

I didn’t feel anything at first, but the wound quickly became numb and spread to my neck and chest. Gradually, I became unable to speak and my heart stopped beating.

After a few breaths, the bitten martial artist died instantly, killed by the poison.

Marmots are not a common poison, and the warriors around him didn't think anything of it at the time. They only realized it belatedly and started screaming when they realized the consequences had become so serious.

"Buzz!"

The sound of mosquitoes was heard, and a dark cloud dispersed, turning into countless mosquitoes as big as fists that stung the body.

The Qi and Blood Warrior grabbed his weapon and chopped at it, but found that the mosquito was so fast that he couldn't hit it.

The mosquito's mouthparts, as big as a fist, bit into the warrior, and the warrior collapsed on the spot. All his blood and energy were drained away in the blink of an eye.

"What a bastard."

The junior martial artist cursed angrily as he punched the mosquito, but failed to kill it. The mosquito fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then continued to fly.

Fortunately someone used his magical power of blood and qi to stab the mosquito, thus killing it.

“Puff, puff!”

After a few muffled sounds, Zuo Lu and Lan Chengxiu felt their chests and backs and found that everything was fine.

They were wearing fur coats given by Zhou You, and although mosquitoes landed on their bodies and stung them, they did not cause any harm.

Don’t you see, even the body of a junior martial artist cannot withstand the piercing of a mosquito’s mouthparts?

They then swung their knives and chopped the mosquito in half before it could take off.

"The owner."

They were thankful, and remembered that the fur coat was a gift from Zhou You, and they were very grateful to the young owner. Zhou You signaled them not to get excited, as the situation had changed.

He had already figured out that marmots were witch beasts and mosquitoes were poisonous insects, and that they were the vanguard of the witch tribe's army.

Just look at the Overlord Martial Arts School, which was leading the group. After suffering several casualties, they began to stabilize their position and fight back.

Yan Wanjun, the little bully, was quite powerful. His long pear never missed and each time he struck out he would pop a bunch of mosquitoes.

"Be careful there are other poisonous insects."

There were cries of surprise from the crowd, and marmots, gophers, snakes and insects broke out of the ground and chased after the area below the knees and bit them.

These witch beasts are extremely poisonous and, unlike those in the Central Plains, are particularly deadly to warriors.

If a layer of oily skin is bitten through, even a martial artist will not be able to withstand it, and a warrior with strong blood will die on the spot.

After the initial chaos, the warriors began to react, taking out detoxification pills and holding them in their mouths, cooperating with each other.

To deal with agile mosquitoes, keep your distance and use hidden weapons to attack them, and don't give them a chance to create chaos.

Dealing with the witch beasts that came out of the ground was specifically assigned to those warriors who were good at leg techniques. When they saw a dark shadow appearing, they would raise their feet and either crush it into a ball of flesh and blood, or kick it to pieces.

The witch clan's attack caught everyone by surprise at the beginning.

Gradually, the warriors adapted to the rhythm with their strong bodies and diverse boxing techniques, and in turn destroyed the witch beasts and poisonous insects.

At the end of the horizon, new traces of wizards appeared one after another, some riding tall and ferocious wizard beasts, and more coming on foot.

Here they come, the army of the witch tribe is coming.

After walking for so many days, I finally saw a living enemy and felt a sense of familiarity.

"Master, the army of craftsmen is ten miles behind us. Should we wait for them?"

Yan Wanjun asked for instructions.

Yanshan glanced at him and said, "The feast doesn't wait for anyone. We came early, so we'll eat the first course and let them eat the leftovers."

He waved the Overlord Sculpture and pointed forward, "The enemy is ahead, go kill them!"

The warriors had great tacit understanding and spread out to the left and right, looking at the wizard on the opposite side from afar, looking for an opponent.

Zhou You remembered reading a post in his previous life, asking whether the army in the high-level martial arts world had any value in existence?
The reason for doubt is that the high-end combat force destroyed an army of 100,000 with a single slap, and the soldiers at the bottom had no power to resist.

In fact, whether it is low-level or high-level military, the army is an indispensable force.

What is an army? An organized unit of violence.

In the low-level martial arts world, the army can defeat masters with good training, sophisticated weapons and armor, numbers and battle formations.

Arriving at the high martial arts world...

As the foundation for maintaining order, the importance of the army is reflected in all aspects.

The garrison led by General Chen Qian destroyed Moyun Village by competing on the level of organization and training with equal combat power.

Even when facing high-end combat power, their existence is necessary. It is true that the Wu Clan has strong warriors, but they also have grassroots combat power. We can't let our own strong warriors condescend to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers!

It is just like the war between the two races in front of us, the strong ones are fighting in the sky, while on the ground it will still come down to qi and blood, or even martial artists fighting for victory or defeat.

After all, having nuclear bombs does not mean cutting the military.

For the armies in the high-level martial arts world, what really changes is the way they fight, that is, the formation and organization.

An army composed of low-end combat power should avoid arranging itself in neat rows when facing high-level enemies. Not only are square formations useless, they are simply waiting in line to be killed by the enemy.

Therefore, no matter whether it was the city's army or the Wu tribe, when they saw the enemy, they all spread out into skirmish lines.

This style of fighting each for itself is most in line with the current situation of uneven strength in the world.

Even if you are unlucky enough to encounter high-end combat power, at most a part of them will die, and the rest can be avoided, and then wait for your own high-end combat power to come up, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.
