In chaotic times, skill points are added: from hunter to martial saint, only killing and no mercy!
Chapter 99 Corpse Control Techniques Appear Again
"General, I'm back."
Li Yi lifted the tent flap and walked straight into the central army camp, where he saw General Guan sitting at his desk handling military affairs.
Upon hearing this, General Guan looked up, his eyes lit up with joy, and he rose to greet Li Yi, taking his hand and saying:
"Great, great, you really didn't disappoint me."
This time, Li Yi led his army to attack, not only annihilating the 10,000-strong Qing Kingdom army that attacked Qiufeng Pass, but also penetrating deep into Qing Kingdom territory, capturing several important cities such as Xuancheng, killing tens of thousands of Qing Kingdom defenders, and burning all of Qing Kingdom's supplies.
As a result, the offensive of the Qing Kingdom slowed down, and the situation shifted to the side of the Chen Kingdom. If it weren't for the assistance of the Black Wind Sect cultivators and the Xiongnu, the Qing Kingdom would have been wiped out by General Guan's troops long ago.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, General Guan led Li Yi to the front of the tent, pointed to the sand table, and said to Li Yi:
"According to the scouts' reports, the 20,000-strong Xiongnu army has now joined forces with the Qing Kingdom, bringing the total strength to 70,000."
Besides these, there are thousands of demonic beasts, while my Yanmen Pass has an army of ninety thousand.
After a pause, General Guan said:
"However, although our army has the advantage in numbers, the Qing Kingdom has a large number of cavalry and monsters to help us. For the time being, we can only be stuck in a stalemate."
Li Yi looked at the data on the sand table, pondering deeply:
"General, please rest assured, with my elite troops under my command, this situation will soon be resolved."
Li Yi paused for a moment, then laid out all his thoughts.
The other officers in the tent also gathered around, listening to Li Yi's words.
To this day, Li Yi has won over everyone in the Yanmen Pass region with his achievements, and they all have complete faith in what he says.
"Okay, we'll do it your way."
General Guan nodded and then dispatched Song Jie to lead the heavy cavalry battalion to fight alongside Li Yi.
For a time, the Yanmen Pass area was once again engulfed in fierce fighting.
After several days of tentative exchanges, both sides suffered heavy losses, and in some areas, the fighting escalated into a full-blown conflict.
One night, Li Yi returned to his tent to handle military affairs, only to see Mu Qianzi and Mu Xingzi walk into the tent together.
Li Yi looked up and addressed the two Qingyun Sect disciples:
"My two senior brothers, what brings you to my tent so late at night?"
Mu Xingzi took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Li Yi, saying slowly:
"Upon hearing that the demon beasts had formed a demon beast alliance and that a Hun shaman was involved, the sect once again dispatched a group of disciples to support you."
"Oh?"
Li Yi was delighted upon hearing this and quickly took the secret letter to read it.
The Qingyun Sect leader, Mu Yangzi, sent three hundred disciples to provide support this time. Nearly half of these three hundred disciples were True Qi Realm disciples, and the remaining one hundred or so were Body Refinement Realm disciples. They were also extremely strong, with the lowest level being Body Refinement Level 6.
The leader of this reinforcement force was Li Yi's senior brother, Mu Zhanzi, who was at the Gangqi Realm.
"Good, with the support of the sect, the Beast Alliance and the Hun Shamans are no longer a threat."
Li Yi nodded, then put the letter aside and discussed the resettlement plan after the arrival of reinforcements with Mu Xingzi and others.
A few days later, Li Yi rode Red Hare north out of Yanmen Pass and headed straight for the Qing Kingdom's camp.
After several days of probing, both sides have realized that the time for a decisive battle has come.
As Li Yi charged forward, five thousand elite troops from the Wind Tiger Camp and the Breaking Barbarian Camp followed closely behind, rushing towards the Qing Kingdom's main camp.
Although they lost about a thousand elite soldiers in the battle in the northern Qing Kingdom, after returning to Yanmen Pass, Li Yi quickly promoted elite soldiers from the reserve camp to supplement the Fenghu Battalion and Polu Battalion.
Under Li Yi's careful training and numerous rewards, this army, whose lowest cultivation level was at least at the fourth level of Body Refinement, was also the only elite force among the 90,000-strong Chen Kingdom army at Yanmen Pass, whose entire members were martial artists.
It should be noted that even the Guan-character battalion under General Guan's command could not ensure that every soldier had the cultivation level of the fourth level of Body Refinement.
As Li Yi led his troops into battle, Song Jie, along with his heavy cavalry battalion, charged straight at the Qing Kingdom's army like a sharp dagger.
Faced with Chen's fierce offensive, Qing's general Yao Dingyuan showed no fear. He sat in the central army and issued a series of orders to his troops to fight back.
Squads of Qing soldiers poured out of the camp and formed ranks on the open ground outside Yanmen Pass to welcome the arrival of the Chen army.
Beside him, squads of Xiongnu cavalry were brandishing their scimitars, providing cover for the Qing Kingdom army.
Meanwhile, in the nearby mountains and forests, one after another, demonic beasts emerged from within, and under the leadership of the Demon King, they gathered into a large army of strange beasts, eyeing Yanmen Pass with predatory intent.
"Follow me and kill!"
In this battle, General Guan did not remain in the central army camp, but personally led his elite troops to press forward against the Qing Kingdom.
Under General Guan's leadership, the elite troops of the Chen Kingdom were deployed and quickly engaged in close combat with the Qing Kingdom's army.
After Xuancheng was captured, the Qing Kingdom lost a large amount of food and supplies, as well as young soldiers to replenish its ranks.
Therefore, as soon as the two armies made contact, the Chen army cut straight into the Qing army like a knife through lard.
If it weren't for the Qing Kingdom centurions and other officers wielding their broadswords and exerting their utmost efforts to supervise the battle, this Qing Kingdom army would have long since collapsed and fled.
"Hmph, weak Southerners."
Huhan, the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu, watched as the Qing soldiers were constantly suppressed by the Chen army. He snorted coldly at Yao Dingyuan, the Qing general, then strode out of the tent, mounted his horse, and led his 20,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen towards the Chen army.
"Form a defensive formation on both flanks."
Inside the Chen army, General Guan, witnessing this scene, immediately ordered the soldiers on both sides to raise their large shields to defend against the charge of the Xiongnu cavalry.
At this moment, Song Jie led his elite heavy cavalry battalion out of Yanmen Pass and directly confronted the Xiongnu cavalry.
Inside the Qing Kingdom's camp, Yao Dingyuan watched as Huhan led his troops in battle against Song Jie, then turned to a wolf king beside him and said:
"Wolf King, now that the Xiongnu Left Wise King has made his move, shouldn't your demon beasts also go into battle?"
Upon hearing this, the wolf king, who was sitting on the exquisite blanket, raised his eyes and glanced sideways at Yao Dingyuan.
Among these thousands of demon beasts, the Wolf King was elected as the leader by the demons. He became the leader because of his spiritual beast realm strength, which was comparable to that of a martial artist in the Gangqi realm.
Seeing the furrowed brows of Yao Dingyuan, the commander of the Qing Kingdom, the Wolf King slowly rose from the blanket and said in a deep voice:
"Hmph, don't forget your promise, or my demon beast clan will never let you go."
After advancing to the spirit beast realm, some exceptionally gifted spirit beasts can master human speech and their intelligence is no different from that of humans.
After receiving assurances from Yao Dingyuan, the commander of the Qing Kingdom, the Wolf King slowly walked away from the central army camp and let out a fierce wolf howl at the scattered monsters.
In an instant, the monsters in the Yanmen Pass area roared, responding to the wolf king's call, and charged towards the Chen army.
"Rain of arrows, unleash!"
With a command from a Chen state captain, thousands of arrows rained down, killing many Qing state soldiers who were unable to dodge.
These Qing soldiers, forced onto the battlefield, were harvested like wheat by a rain of arrows, falling to the ground one after another.
Just then, a heavy sense of nausea filled everyone's hearts.
"Bang!"
A gong rang out, and a chilling sound reverberated across the battlefield.
"They are evil cultivators from the Black Wind Sect."
Upon hearing the sound of the gong, Li Yi immediately located its source.
Inside the Qing Kingdom's camp, a white-haired, evil cultivator vigorously struck a bronze gong in his hand. As the gong rang out, the corpses on the battlefield began to tremble.
"It's an evil technique from the Black Wind Sect, the Corpse Control Technique."
Seeing this bizarre scene, Li Yi's expression darkened as he recalled some past events.
The battle at Qiufeng Pass was caused by the Black Wind Sect's evil cultivators using corpse manipulation techniques to bring a large number of corpses to life, which led to their rout and subsequent trapping by the tree spirits.
But before Li Yi could react, Mu Xingzi, within the Chen army, shook the copper bell in his hand, emitting a clear and melodious Daoist sound, suppressing the evil cultivators of the Black Wind Sect.
Surrounded by the sound of bells, the writhing corpses stopped moving and returned to their corpse form.
With the help of the Qingyun Sect disciples, the evil cultivators of the Black Wind Sect lost their most powerful means.
Seeing that the Corpse Control Technique was useless, the Black Wind Sect evil cultivators hidden within the Qing Kingdom army took out many mechanical contraptions and threw them at the Chen Kingdom soldiers who were suppressing the Qing Kingdom army.
At this moment, one by one, disciples of the Qingyun Sect appeared within the Chen Kingdom's army, using various unique skills to block all the methods of the Black Wind Sect's evil cultivators.
Without the interference of these sect disciples, many officers of the Chen Kingdom quickly ordered their soldiers to suppress the Qing Kingdom army.
"Aww!"
Just then, the Wolf King arrived at the battlefield with an army of four or five thousand demon beasts.
Upon seeing this, Li Yi's eyes lit up. He gripped the Ink Cold Serpent Spear tightly and urged Red Hare to lead his men straight towards the army of strange beasts.
With Li Yi's current strength, ordinary opponents can no longer provide him with a lot of experience in battle.
This wolf king was a spirit beast with cultivation comparable to a martial artist in the Qi Condensation Realm, making him a perfect opponent for Li Yi, providing him with a wealth of experience.
At the same time, because the soldiers of his Wind Tiger Camp and Breaking Barbarian Camp were extremely elite and powerful, Li Yi was also responsible for dealing with this demon alliance.
However, just a few breaths later, Li Yi was engaged in close combat with this army of strange beasts.
Faced with these powerful opponents shrouded in demonic energy, the elites of the Wind Tiger Camp and the Destroyer Camp showed no fear. Led by Han Jia, Liu Ye, and others, they unleashed their combined combat techniques, forming tight lines of defense.
pat pat pat.
This tightly packed formation continued to advance, their spears held flat, slowly pushing the demon army backward like a steel jungle. Some of the more ferocious demons were killed by the spears thrust out by the Chen soldiers during this process.
For the Qing Kingdom, this battle was a matter of national destiny. If they lost, they would have no power to fight back, and what awaited them was the Chen Kingdom's furious retaliation. Therefore, they could only win and could not afford to lose.
As for the State of Chen, they had been invaded by the State of Qing for many years. This was their only chance to defeat the State of Qing. If they lost, they would be pressured by the State of Qing's military might once again once the State of Qing recovered.
Nearly 200,000 troops were seen fighting fiercely on the plains of Yanmen Pass, refusing to retreat.
"How dare those who eat raw meat and drink blood be so presumptuous?"
Riding on Red Hare, Li Yi watched the demonic beast charging towards him and swiftly dispatched it with his Ink Frost Serpent Spear in three moves.
The next moment, Li Yi spurred his horse to another battlefield and killed a demon king.
"Aww!"
Just then, Li Yi heard a chilling wolf howl. He turned around and saw the Wolf King, the commander of the demon alliance, slowly walking towards him.
With each step it took, the aura emanating from the Spirit Beast Realm Wolf King grew more formidable. By the time it reached thirty meters beside Li Yi, its aura was unfathomable, capable of overwhelming heaven and earth.
"Hmph, just in time!"
Faced with this formidable enemy, Li Yi was not alarmed but rather pleased.
Li Yi's words only made the wolf king feel quite annoyed.
The next moment, the wolf king grunted a few times and charged towards Li Yi with its claws.
This wolf king has 740 years of cultivation and has already traveled a great distance in the Spirit Beast Realm.
Li Yi dared not be careless in this situation. He gripped the Ink Cold Serpent Spear tightly and unleashed a series of fierce moves from the [Cloud-Piercing Heavenly Spear] technique, engaging the Wolf King in a fierce battle.
"Azure clouds cover the sun!"
With a cold shout from Li Yi, the azure light that pierced the clouds on the Ink Cold Serpent Spear instantly erupted, leaving several bloody gashes on the Wolf King's body. Even its right claw was struck by the spear, causing a large amount of blood to flow out.
Sensing his predicament, the wolf king glared hatefully at Li Yi, then turned and howled at the sky.
Among the army of strange beasts, countless wild wolves belonging only to the Wolf King also raised their heads and howled, echoing their Wolf King.
In an instant, the wolf king's aura surged, and he quickly raised his cultivation level to 830 years.
Looking up into the distance, I saw a crescent moon faintly visible on the horizon.
Sirius Howls at the Moon!
"As expected of the Wolf King of the Spirit Beast Realm, his talent and strength are indeed extraordinary."
Li Yi watched this scene, lost in thought:
"But even so, you can only become a victim of my gun."
Immediately, Li Yi put away the Ink Cold Serpent Spear, reached out and took out the Spring and Autumn Four Symbols Bow from his back, and three blood-red Vermilion Bird Arrows were nocked onto the Spring and Autumn Four Symbols Bow with a snap.
With the true essence of archery, the three Vermilion Bird arrows were firmly aimed at the Wolf King's trail, preventing him from escaping.
"Xia's true meaning! Burn the true fire!"
With a roar, Li Yi released the arrow from the bow and shot it straight at the wolf king.
Although the wolf king was not large, its body was covered with thick wolf fur. Faced with Li Yi's sharp arrow, the wolf king turned and dodged.
However, locked in by the true essence of archery, after a few breaths, the fleeing wolf king was finally caught up by the three Vermilion Bird Arrows, which pierced his body.
Instantly, the true essence of summer carried on the Vermilion Bird Arrow erupted, and raging flames spread from the wound, burning the wolf king's flesh and blood.
"Aww!"
Feeling the pain in his body and knowing that he couldn't escape, the wolf king turned around and charged at Li Yi with his claws.
Li Yi is currently only at the sixth level of the True Qi Realm, at least four minor realms away from this demon king in the Spirit Beast Realm. However, relying on the powerful strength of the Azure Cloud Martial Scripture and many other techniques, Li Yi is not at a disadvantage against the wolf king who is far superior to him. He wields the Ink Cold Serpent Spear and fights fiercely with him.
After an incense stick had burned, Li Yi shot and repelled the wolf king, feeling a surge of profound insights welling up within him.
"It's a skill upgrade."
The thought popped into Li Yi's mind, and he immediately followed his instincts, thrusting out the Ink Frost Serpent Spear in his hand. At the same time, the cloud-piercing azure light swirling around the Ink Frost Serpent Spear also burst forth, transforming into a fierce spear technique under Li Yi's control.
"Breaking through the clouds and shattering the sky!"
This is the second killing move recorded in the "Breaking Clouds Heavenly Spear" technique, and its power far surpasses that of "Azure Clouds Covering the Sun".
As this move was executed, several more bloody holes appeared on the wolf king's body.
"Awooo!"
The wolf king retreated in a few flashes, looking at the bloody holes in his body, and staring at Li Yi in surprise.
The next moment, the wolf king charged towards Li Yi again.
For the wolf king, its strength was originally greater than Li Yi's, but not only could it not defeat Li Yi, it was also easily injured by Li Yi, which undoubtedly damaged its dignity.
In an attempt to salvage its dignity as the wolf king, the wolf king pounced on Li Yi and spat out a black inner core, which then rained down on Li Yi.
While cultivating within the Qingyun Sect, Li Yi learned many secrets about demonic beasts from Jin Lingzi.
In the realm of demonic beasts, the essence of their strength lies in their inner core; the stronger the inner core, the greater their power.
When a demon beast breaks through to the spirit beast realm, it can unleash its most powerful demon core to attack others.
Realizing he was in grave danger, the wolf king spat out the demon core in his mouth without hesitation, intending to kill Li Yi.
Feeling the immense power emanating from the demon core, Li Yi dared not engage it in close combat and quickly dodged its attacks.
But with this retreat, Li Yi was no longer by the wolf king's side and could no longer restrain the wolf king's actions.
Seeing that the wolf king was about to leap into the army formation and kill the other soldiers, Li Yi quickly took down the Spring and Autumn Four Symbols Bow, took out the feathered arrows again, and shot several more arrows at the wolf king.
"when."
Just then, Li Yi fired three Vermilion Bird Arrows, which were all knocked down by the Wolf King using his inner core.
Seeing this, Li Yi's expression hardened, and he took out three more Azure Dragon Arrows, nocked them on the Spring and Autumn Four Symbols Bow, and fired them again:
"The Azure Dragon of Spring awakens the earth with thunder."
Li Yi roared and activated the [True Understanding of the Four Seasons Archery] at full power, unleashing another fierce arrow strike straight at the Wolf King.
As expected, the Wolf King once again used its inner core to knock down all the arrows fired by Li Yi.
"What? How is this possible?"
Seeing this, Li Yi's expression darkened.
But seeing the wolf king about to leap into the enemy ranks, Li Yi didn't have time to think. He quickly took out a series of arrows and kept attacking the wolf king to restrict its movements.
For a time, Li Yi shot arrows, and the wolf king used its inner core to defend itself, and the two quickly entered a stalemate.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yi reached for his waist again, only to find nothing.
It turned out that after these series of battles, Li Yi had used up all the Vermilion Bird Arrows and Azure Dragon Arrows he brought.
Seeing Li Yi reach out and grab empty air, the wolf king in the distance revealed a human-like mockery on its face, let out a few soft growls, then withdrew its demon core and charged towards the elite Wind Tiger Camp once again.
Seeing this, Li Yi turned his hand and reached for another quiver, muttering to himself:
"You think you can't do anything to me? Too bad you've run into me."
It turns out that while in a stalemate with the wolf king, Li Yi gained many insights through continuous archery practice, and his understanding of the "True Explanation of the Way of Archery in the Four Seasons" improved. As a result, Li Yi also grasped the true meaning of autumn.
Autumn is the season of harvest. At the same time, all things wither and fall, and the autumn wind is bleak. Therefore, the true meaning of autumn carries a sense of desolation and annihilation.
This is an attack completely different from Xia Zhi Zhen Yi, capable of corroding and destroying the enemy's defenses.
Three white arrows were nocked onto the Spring and Autumn Four Symbols Bow by Li Yi, their arrow intent resurfacing, locked firmly on the wolf king in the distance.
Li Yi murmured:
"The White Tiger of Autumn, the Metal of Geng is extinguished."
Before he finished speaking, three white tiger arrows flew from the bowstring, heading straight for the wolf king in the distance.
Seeing the three white tiger arrows rushing towards him, the wolf king skillfully manipulated his inner core to move through the air, attempting to shoot down the three white tiger arrows.
However, the moment the Wolf King's inner core came into contact with the White Tiger Arrow, the true essence of autumn carried by the White Tiger Arrow immediately enveloped the inner core, and the chilling and desolate intent within it continuously eroded the Wolf King's inner core.
Sensing the unusual sensation in the inner core, the wolf king was startled, then suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the inner core.
But just after the inner core was swallowed into the wolf king's belly, the true essence of autumn attached to the inner core also entered the wolf king's body.
In an instant, the true essence of autumn erupted, corroding the wolf king's internal organs.
The wolf king, severely wounded, howled in agony and shouted loudly, summoning his beasts to protect him.
But this scene was witnessed by Han Jia, Li Yi, and others, who keenly realized that the Wolf King had been severely injured by Li Yi.
With this in mind, they took the lead and led their soldiers to stop the allied forces of the monsters.
"Take another arrow from me!"
Seeing the wolf king trembling in pain, Li Yi took out three more white tiger arrows and shot another arrow at it.
For a moment, the wolf king panicked and dodged, but he was suffering from many serious injuries and had lost a lot of strength.
Despite his desperate struggle, two White Tiger Arrows still struck his vital points.
Feeling its life force gradually dissipating, terror appeared in the wolf king's eyes.
"How dare a beast participate in the battles of my human race?"
Li Yi snorted coldly, then sheathed the Spring and Autumn Four Symbols Bow and charged towards the Wolf King.
"Die!"
Li Yi snorted coldly, raising the Ink Cold Serpent Spear high once more, its tip flashing with a cloud-piercing azure light.
"Breaking through the clouds and shattering the sky!"
Li Yi snorted coldly again and unleashed his newly mastered ultimate killing move. Clusters of azure light shot out from the spear, carrying the force to shatter the clouds and break through the sky, instantly striking the Wolf King's vitals.
The Azure Light that broke through the clouds possessed extremely strong penetrating power. Even though the Wolf King had a protective force similar to Qi, he was still pierced in the heart by the Ink Cold Serpent Spear.
After the Ink Frost Serpent Spear pierced the Wolf King's body, Li Yi felt the touch of the spear tip and quickly shook the spear shaft.
In an instant, the trembling blade of the Ink-Cold Serpent Spear shattered the Wolf King's heart into countless fragments.
Without the support of his heart, the wolf king struggled a few times before finally collapsing and dying.
Without the Wolf King's leadership, the remaining four or five thousand beasts were nothing but a rabble, and were quickly killed and captured by Li Yi and the elite troops of the Wind Tiger Camp and the Destroyer Camp.
Stepping on the wolf king, Li Yi turned his head and saw General Guan fighting fiercely with Yao Dingyuan, the commander of the Qing Kingdom.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Huhan, the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu, was leading 20,000 Xiongnu cavalry in battle against Song Jie.
The Xiongnu Left Wise King was also a powerful expert in the Gangqi Realm, and Song Jie could only passively take a beating in front of him.
Seeing this, Li Yi wielded the Ink Cold Serpent Spear, extracting the wolf king's inner core, which had been shattered by the White Tiger Arrow.
After being eroded by the true meaning of autumn, the wolf king's inner core, which was originally the size of a fist, had shrunk by one-third. Even so, the inner core turned into experience, successfully pushing Li Yi's [Qingyun Martial Scripture] to the next level.
Li Yi glanced down at the system panel and a smile appeared on his face.
After upgrading the skills of the [Qingyun Martial Scripture] by one level, Li Yi's cultivation also successfully broke through to the seventh level of True Qi.
"Han Jia, you lead your men to annihilate this entire demon army. Liu Ye, you lead your men to aid Song Jie."
After using the Wolf King's inner core, Li Yi gave a few instructions and then led Liu Ye and three thousand Wind Tiger Camp soldiers to the other side of the battlefield.
"Are you the reincarnation of the Wolf God?"
Huhan, the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu, looked at Li Yi who had joined the battle with a mixture of shock and hatred in his eyes.
Hearing the code name the Xiongnu had given him, Li Yi, without even looking up, wielded his Ink-Cold Serpent Spear, unhorsing Xiongnu cavalrymen one by one.
"That's me!"
Upon seeing Li Yi's agreement, the 20,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen were all taken aback, and their offensive immediately slowed down.
In a battle between masters, victory or defeat often hinges on a single moment.
Liu Ye and Song Jie astutely seized upon the Xiongnu cavalry's momentary lapse in concentration and immediately led their troops in a fierce attack. In just a few breaths, they had killed a large number of Xiongnu cavalry.
"Very well, it really is you! Then let me take your head and report my victory to the Great Chanyu."
Huhan, the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu, was overjoyed and immediately brandished his broadsword, charging towards Li Yi.
Although Huhan was only a martial artist at the early stage of the Gangqi Realm, he possessed numerous martial arts techniques and divine weapons, making him far stronger than the Wolf King.
However, Huhan's formidable strength was nothing more than an unremarkable number in the face of Li Yi.
As Huhan rode toward him, Li Yi took down the Spring and Autumn Four Symbols Bow, nocked the three White Tiger Arrows again, and fired one at Huhan.
"You dare to shoot me with such a trivial skill?"
Seeing the sharp arrows shooting towards him, the Left Wise King hurriedly used his extraordinary martial arts, a secret technique passed down within the Xiongnu, to desperately block the White Tiger Arrow shot by Li Yi.
Upon seeing this, Li Yi's heart sank, and he immediately took out three arrows—green, red, and white—and nocked them onto the Spring and Autumn Four Symbols Bow.
This time, Li Yi condensed the three true meanings of spring, summer, and autumn that he had mastered into the feathered arrow.
Li Yi shot out an arrow, and the three kinds of true intent swirled in mid-air, forming a stable spiral of energy.
Enveloped by this new surge of energy, the three iron arrows quickly crossed the battlefield and landed on Huhan.
"what!"
Huhan screamed and looked down to see that the Azure Dragon Arrow, under the cover of the Vermilion Bird Arrow and the White Tiger Arrow, had struck his waist and abdomen.
Instantly, the lightning power carried by the Azure Dragon Arrow erupted continuously, greatly aggravating Huhan's injuries.
"As expected of descendants of wolves, you truly have no fear. You dare to march south again without my permission?"
Seeing this, Li Yi cursed a few times, then took out three more arrows and shot them at the Left Wise King Huhan in the distance.
Having learned from his previous experience, Li Yi's three iron arrows, each carrying a different true meaning, were even more powerful than before, and their coordination and harmony were several levels higher.
This time, the Left Wise King Huhan was no longer lucky enough to dodge, and all three arrows struck his vital points.
In an instant, flames flew, lightning flashed, and a murderous aura emanated from Huhan's body.
However, just a few breaths later, Huhan, the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu who had spent most of his life traversing the grasslands, was killed by Li Yi with several arrows.
After killing Huhan, Li Yi's skills gained a lot of experience.
"The enemy leader is dead, charge!"
Li Tao, who was in charge of the archers, immediately realized this and shouted loudly, signaling the elite archers of the Wind Tiger Camp to continue raining arrows.
After losing their commander and suffering a severe drop in morale, the more than 10,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen could no longer withstand the attacks of the elite archers. Coupled with the heavy cavalry battalion charging from the side, the Xiongnu were completely defeated.
On the main battlefield, General Guan, who had already advanced to the Gangqi Realm, was wielding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade and fighting against Yao Dingyuan, the main general of the Qing Kingdom.
"General, I'm here to help you!"
After killing Huhan, the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu, and the Wolf King of the Demon Beast Alliance, both powerful experts at the Gangqi Realm, Li Yi spurred his horse and charged towards General Guan's battlefield, brandishing his Ink Cold Serpent Spear.
Hearing Li Yi's shout, General Guan slashed Yao Dingyuan back with his sword, then turned to Li Yi and shouted:
"Leave this place to me, don't worry. You quickly lead your men and crush the Qing Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi pulled on the reins, signaling Red Hare to charge towards the Qing Kingdom's camp.
Without the obstruction of the Qi Refining Realm warriors, Li Yi moved through the army as if it were empty, quickly leading his soldiers in several charges and annihilating a large number of Qing Kingdom soldiers.
Now, the two countries of Chen and Qing have been engaged in fierce fighting in the Yanmen Pass area for two hours.
More than 30,000 of the 70,000-strong allied forces of Qing have been killed, while Chen has only suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
At this time, Qing State had only 35,000 men, while Chen State had more than 70,000 elite soldiers, twice the size of Qing State. The balance of power immediately tipped in favor of Chen State.
Soon, Li Yi led his men into the Qing Kingdom's army.
"How dare you!"
Just as Li Yi was wreaking havoc, dozens of cultivators dressed in black robes suddenly rushed out from the Qing Kingdom army.
"They are evil cultivators from the Black Wind Sect."
Li Yi recognized the newcomer at a glance and immediately brandished the Ink Cold Serpent Spear to fight him.
Meanwhile, the personal guards who followed Li Yi in his rampage also brandished their weapons to defend against the attacks of the Black Wind Sect's evil cultivators.
"You think you can stop me?"
A cold shout came from within the Black Wind Sect's evil cultivators. As Li Yi turned his head, he saw four black-robed figures exuding powerful auras emerge from the black robes.
These four men possessed an imposing aura, far surpassing that of the Xiongnu Left Wise King and the Spirit Beast Wolf King, who had just been killed by Li Yi.
"This aura indicates the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm."
Li Yi frowned, sensing something was wrong.
However, before Li Yi could react, the four Black Wind Sect elders, all at the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, immediately surrounded him.
"Jin Lingzi's last disciple? Perfect, I'll use your life to sacrifice for my flag!"
These individuals all harbored grudges against Li Yi's master, Jin Lingzi. Coupled with Li Yi's recent massacre, these old and new grievances combined to fuel their intense killing intent towards Li Yi.
However, just as Li Yi realized something was wrong and was about to turn and flee, he suddenly saw a fierce aura erupt from behind him.
"Those four cowardly rats, how dare they bully the weak and attack my junior brother!"
Mu Zhanzi, who was leading reinforcements to Yanmen Pass, suddenly tore off his Taoist robe, brandished a horse-slaying saber, and charged into the battlefield.
"What? It's that madman Mu Zhanzi?"
As soon as Mu Zhanzi appeared, the four evil cultivators from the Black Wind Sect were terrified. In the next instant, they turned around and fled towards the Qing Kingdom without looking back.
"Where to go?"
However, Mu Zhanzi snorted coldly a few times, moved his feet quickly, and caught up with a Black Wind Sect elder in a few breaths.
With a single slash of his horse-slaying saber, Mu Zhanzi cut the Black Wind Sect elder in two in just a few moves.
Then, Mu Zhanzi picked up his horse-slaying sword and chased after the enemy to another location.
"Senior brother is indeed brave."
Seeing this, Li Yi's fighting spirit surged. He picked up the Ink Frost Serpent Spear, mounted Red Hare, and chased after the other Black Wind Sect elder who was slightly weaker.
In the battle against Huhan, the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu, and several other experts at the Gangqi Realm, Li Yi gained a lot of experience under pressure, advancing his skills in [Breaking Cloud Heavenly Spear] and the True Understanding of the Four Seasons Arrow Path by several levels.
Therefore, Li Yi plans to use this Black Wind Sect elder as a whetstone to improve his progress in cultivating the [Azure Cloud Martial Scripture].
With the Red Hare's incredible speed, Li Yi caught up with the Black Wind Sect's evil cultivator in just a few breaths:
"Where do you think you're going!"
Li Yi snorted coldly, drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and fired three Vermilion Bird arrows:
"The true meaning of Xia burns the true fire."
With a few cold snorts from Li Yi, the Vermilion Bird Arrow struck the robe of the Black Wind Sect's evil cultivator.
"How dare you! Without your senior brother, do you think I'd be afraid of you?"
After being hit by the Vermilion Bird Arrow, the fleeing Black Wind Sect elder turned around and was overjoyed to see that only Li Yi was there. Immediately, the evil cultivator from the Black Wind Sect brandished a serrated broadsword and charged towards Li Yi.
This broadsword is about 1.5 meters long, with an extremely sharp blade. Even more astonishing is that, as the Black Wind Sect elders infused it with true energy, the blade could rotate continuously like a chainsaw.
"Is this the mechanical creation of the Black Wind Gate?"
Seeing this, Li Yi was greatly alarmed. He immediately took out a fine steel longsword from his personal guard and smashed it down.
However, with a mere flick of his wrist, the Black Wind Sect elder easily shattered the steel longsword into pieces.
Seeing this, Li Yi quickly put away the Ink Cold Serpent Spear, then rode Red Hare, drew his bow and shot out Vermilion Bird Arrows, attacking the Black Wind Sect elder.
"You brat! Do you dare to fight me head-on?"
After a stick of incense had burned, the Black Wind Sect elder, whose strength had been greatly depleted by Li Yi's kite tactics, glared angrily at Li Yi and kept swinging his serrated longsword.
However, Li Yi ignored him completely, focusing instead on firing arrows to wear down the Black Wind Sect elders' strength.
After another incense stick's time, in order to resist Li Yi's fierce arrow attacks, the Black Wind Sect elder had already exhausted eight or nine tenths of his true energy.
Seeing this, Li Yi jumped off Red Hare, drew his Ink Frost Serpent Spear again, and charged towards him:
"Breaking through the clouds and shattering the sky!"
A fierce spear aura surged forth once more, enveloping the Black Wind Sect elder.
"You want to kill me? Not so easy!"
Realizing he could not escape, the Black Wind Sect elder, like a cornered beast, swung his serrated broadsword and charged fiercely at Li Yi.
Seeing this, Li Yi stopped running away and fully activated the Azure Cloud Martial Scripture, wielding the Ink Cold Serpent Spear to fight against him.
A stream of azure cloud energy swirled around Li Yi as he fiercely fought against the Black Wind Sect cultivator.
After an unknown amount of time, just as Li Yi felt his true energy was running low, the Black Wind Sect elder opposite him was also covered in bloody wounds.
Looking down at the skill panel, Li Yi was immediately delighted. After a fierce battle with the Black Wind Sect elder, under the pressure of his powerful late-stage Qi Refining Realm strength, Li Yi's [Azure Cloud Martial Scripture] gained a lot of experience and improved significantly.
"If that's the case, then you can go and die."
After draining the Black Wind Sect elder of his value, Li Yi channeled his newly generated Azure Cloud True Qi and thrust his spear at the elder:
"Azure clouds float, piercing the sky!"
With Li Yi unleashing a stunning spear strike combining the Azure Cloud Martial Scripture and the Cloud-Piercing Heavenly Spear, the Black Wind Sect elder, who had dominated the Azure Kingdom for decades, came to an end.
"Not bad, not bad at all. Junior brother's talent is indeed extraordinary."
Just as Li Yi killed the Black Wind Sect elder with a single shot, Mu Zhanzi's voice of praise came from behind him.
Li Yi turned around and saw that Mu Zhanzi had three human heads hanging from his waist. Upon closer inspection, he realized that these three were the three Black Wind Sect elders who had escaped earlier.
After Li Yi and Mu Zhanzi joined forces in the battle, only Yao Dingyuan, the Qing Kingdom's commander-in-chief, remained as a Qi Refining Realm martial artist in the Qing Kingdom's army.
Without the restraint of high-level forces, Li Yi moved through the Qing Kingdom's army as if it were empty, constantly charging and killing.
Half an hour later, wherever Li Yi went, no Qing soldiers dared to resist anymore, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.
On another battlefield, General Guan also successfully beheaded Yao Dingyuan.
Thus, the combined forces of the Qing Kingdom's 50,000-strong army, the Xiongnu's 20,000 cavalry, and the demon clan's 5,000-strong alliance were annihilated by Li Yi and General Guan.
"When the battle report reaches the court, the Grand General will be extremely satisfied."
General Guan hung Yao Dingyuan's head on his waist and said to Li Yi.
This battle not only resulted in the capture of the Qing Kingdom's commander-in-chief, but also the capture of the Xiongnu Left Wise King.
It should be noted that the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu was one of the four pillars under the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu, and was a person of high position and great power.
As for the four Black Wind Sect elders who were killed by Li Yi and Mu Zhanzi, they were among the few Qi Refining Realm warriors in the Black Wind Sect.
According to Mu Xingzi, the Black Wind Sect focuses on craftsmanship and doesn't pay much attention to martial arts training.
To this day, only six or seven Qi Refining Realm warriors remain in the Black Wind Sect. In this battle, Li Yi and Mu Zhanzi killed four of them. In addition, the Black Wind Sect cultivators who were killed by the other disciples of the Qingyun Sect were also killed. It can be said that after this battle, the Black Wind Sect has been crippled by Li Yi.
Watching the soldiers gathering their forces on the battlefield, a thought popped into Li Yi's mind:
"Now all three allied forces have been defeated, and the Qing Kingdom's Black Wind Sect and the Demon Beast Alliance have all appeared."
"But what about the Xiongnu shamans we discovered earlier?"
Since Li Yi returned to Yanmen Pass and won this battle, there has been no sign of the Xiongnu shaman, which is very strange!
After thinking for a moment, Li Yi summoned Gumu Da:
"Take a troop and infiltrate the Xiongnu steppes to investigate the whereabouts of the Xiongnu shamans!"
