Guo Changmin surveyed the surroundings and said in a clear voice, “In this battle, the officers and men used their lives to repel an enemy several times the size! This general is proud of you all!”
“Great General is mighty!”
“Great General is mighty!”
“Great General is mighty!”
All the officers and men shouted in unison, the sound shaking the sky.
One could tell that each and every one of them was very agitated, including Guo Changmin.
In this battle, life and death hung by a thread. Just one step off and it was the outcome of the city being destroyed and people dying.
Guo Changmin smiled and said, “It’s you all who are mighty, my children! From tomorrow onwards, the three armies will be rewarded according to their merits! However, the greatest hero who has rendered a great service in this battle is precisely the one standing beside me at this time! Perhaps many of you don’t know him, but you all have to know that he was the first one to discover the fiend race invading from Fiend Calling Ridge. It was also him who brought over Kangding City’s reinforcements, only then did it turn back the raging tides! He is called Ling Feng!”
Beside Guo Changmin, Ling Feng seemed somewhat uneasy and out of place.
This scene of having tens of thousands fix their eyes on him, he was still not quite used to it.
“Your Excellency, this officer dare not take credit! The greatest meritorious hero in this battle isn’t me!” Ling Feng suddenly plucked up his courage and said.
Guo Changmin even thought that Ling Feng was being modest, patted his shoulder, and said with a laugh, “Huhu, if it’s your credit, it’s yours, nobody can snatch it away! If not for you sending people to bring back news, the northern city would have long been breached. Even this general would also have to be buried within the army! To a certain extent, you defended the myriad of territories behind us!”
When Ling Feng saw that Guo Changmin said it so solemnly, he was even more terrified and hurriedly said, “Your Excellency, this battle really isn’t this officer’s credit! But … But somebody else’s! If not for him, our squad would have been annihilated at Fiend Calling Ridge back then, and it would have been totally impossible to come back and report.”
Guo Changmin had a look of surprise on his face when he heard that and said, “Somebody else? Who is it?”
Ling Feng said, “He’s called Ye Yuan, just a human who passed by Fiend Calling Ridge …”
Ling Feng rattled on tirelessly about the events that happened in this period of time, making everyone draw cold breaths continuously.
Annihilating the fiend squads, falling down the cliff and not dying, cutting off the fiend race’s path of retreat. This series of actions, it sounded like a myth or legend to everyone.
“I originally thought that it was a human expert who saved us in secret. But later, the more I thought, the more off it was! Most likely, the person who insta-killed five fiend captains back then was Ye Yuan! Furthermore, when I left, I thought that it was completely too late to request for reinforcements. But he told me in all sincerity and solemness that the reinforcements can definitely make it in time!” Ling Feng also said his own guesses.
Guo Changmin was still perplexed previously; why did the fiend race’s army of 100 thousand become 30 thousand?
But only when he heard Ling Feng say so did he have a sudden realization.
At this time, Wang Yifeng suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Your Excellency, with Ling Feng saying so, I also feel that it’s very strange! Actually, the first day that the fiends besieged the northern city, the battle situation was already very critical. They leaped up the city walls several times, but those fiend soldiers were all feeble and soft; one chop and they were down! Because of this, that’s how we defended for several days! Later, Xiu Lie launched the assault, those commanders already rushed up to the top of the city walls. But the back of their army seemed to have had a disturbance, and that’s how they didn’t take advantage of the situation to enter the battle!”
Ling Feng also said, “I saw the destroyed fiend crossbows at the back of the fiend army. The back of the army also had quite a number of people dead, but I didn’t see one Tiderain City defending troops!”
The more these two people talked, the more alarmed Guo Changmin got.
All of this sounded like an Arabian night tale, but the result of the events developing to this point was also so reasonable.
However, a Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist dictated a war of several hundred thousand?
This … was a little too exaggerated, right?
“Just what kind of person is this Ye Yuan? Are these things really what one person can do?”
“This is simply producing clouds with a turn of one’s hands, and rain with another! He alone dominated a war! This kind of thing, even Lord Guo Changmin can’t do it!”
“This Ye Yuan must have been sent by heaven to save us!”
“Ling Feng said that Ye Yuan was only Heaven Glimpse Realm, could it be that he slaughtered into the back of the fiend army alone? Does this guy … have three heads and six arms?”
…
The officers and men were all shocked until they could not close their mouths, speculating one after another about this behind-the-scenes hero who had never been seen, but he saved all of them.
Guo Changmin drew a deep breath and said, “Ling Feng, not that this general doesn’t believe you, but it’s true that the things you said are too inconceivable! Since that little friend Ye had the intention of joining the army, I wonder where he is now?”
Ling Feng smiled bitterly and said, “After the great battle ended, I kept looking for him too, but I couldn’t find him at all.”
Just as everyone was at a loss on what to do, a thunderous voice sounded out above the city’s sky.
“The hero has already gone, all give three kneels of gratitude toward the east!”
The voice was not loud, but it was like rolling thunder, transmitting into everyone’s ears.
“Who?! Who is talking?!”
“The hero has gone? It’s saying that Ye Yuan left?”
“Toward the east? Isn’t that in the direction of Fiend Calling Ridge? Why did he go over?”
“Are you dumb? Didn’t Ling Feng say it, that the hero can move freely above the natural chasm! No, wait, he … he went to the fiend race?”
Suddenly, everyone’s faces changed, realizing this problem.
To the humans, the fiend race territory was equivalent to a forbidden land. No one dared to go over at all.
But Guo Changmin’s expression changed and he gave a bow toward the sky and said, “We obey Lord Ze Yan’s dharmic decree!”
“Lord Ze Yan? Who is Lord Ze Yan?”
“I heard that there’s a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse stationed in Tiderain City, but I never see him before!”
“Could it be that … Tiderain City really has a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse?”
“If there’s a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, why didn’t he take action when our casualties are so heavy?”
“Yeah! We were almost completely wiped out, didn’t see the Divine Lord Realm powerhouse make a move too!”
…
This voice immediately aroused a flurry of discussion.
Legends had it that Tiderain City had a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse defending.
It was just that after that battle, nobody saw the Divine Lord Realm powerhouse anymore as well.
In the course of time, it became a legend too.
Of course, quite a few people were also indignant in their hearts. Why didn’t the Divine Lord Realm powerhouse make a move when the great battle was fought to this kind of degree?
Guo Changmin’s expression darkened. Mustering up divine essence, he said in a solemn voice, “All shut up for me!”
His prestige in the army was exceedingly high. With this roar, those soldiers immediately became silent like cicadas in winter, but their faces still had in
dignant looks.
Guo Changmin swept a glance over everyone and said in a solemn voice, “Tiderain City indeed has Lord Ze Yan, a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse garrisoning here! Could it be that you all think that there isn’t a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse in the fiend race army? Do you all know what it means for Divine Lord Realm powerhouses to take action? It means that none of you guys can survive! If Tiderain City perishes, Lord Ze Yang will also survive or die together with Tiderain City!”
Guo Changmin’s rolling thunder-like voice finally made the soldiers become quiet.
“Now, obey Lord Ze Yan’s dharmic decree! All officers and men listen to the order, give … three kowtows to the east!” Guo Changmin said in a clear voice.
Thud!
Finished talking, Guo Changmin knelt down first.
Chapter 1474. Kanuo“s News |
A blood-colored light quietly disappeared into the dense forest. A cloud of black gas gradually condensed into a human form.
“Fortunately, I had some contingencies. Otherwise, this life would have been considered lost in Tiderain City! However … my injury is too severe. Without several decades of recuperation, I’m probably unable to recover completely. Fiend soul secret art, condense for me!”
That cloud of blood mist gradually condensed into a human form. Who could it be if not Xiu Lie?
But the current Xiu Lie was incomparably weak; less than one-ten-thousandth of his prime.
Xiu Lie let out a long sigh of relief and muttered under his breath, “This war was really lost without rhyme or reason. To actually not even know who the opponent was! Sigh, can’t go back to the fiend race anymore. In the future … I can only be a lonely spirit!”
Suffering such a defeat, even if Xiu Lie went back, it would be hard to escape death too.
After today, he could only become a lonely spirit and slowly recover his strength.
“Who’s there?!”
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the dense forest, causing Xiu Lie to suddenly get startled.
A figure slowly walked out. Xiu Lie’s pupils constricted. It was actually a human!
His expression turned cold. When he saw that the arrival was only a Heaven Glimpse Realm human, his heart calmed down slightly.
However, his gaze became ferocious very quickly.
This human could just nicely become his blood-feed and help him recover strength!
“Heh heh, kid, you came just in time!”
Xiu Lie’s figure moved explosively, grabbing straight for that human.
Whoosh!
The sound of tearing through the air came over. Xiu Lie’s pupils shrunk, retreating back at an even faster speed than just now.
Boom!
In the panic, Xiu Lie exchanged a blow with the sword light, directly flying out backward.
His gaze revealed a look of great terror as he looked at that human and said in a solemn voice, “Who the hell are you!”
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, “Didn’t you want to know who your opponent was?”
Xiu Lie’s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief as he said in a deep voice, “It’s you? Impossible! A measly Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist, how can I possibly be defeated at your hands? No, wait, you … you’re that punk who jumped off the cliff! You … How can you possibly still be alive?!”
Xiu Lie looked at Ye Yuan in incredible shock. He also felt that Ye Yuan was somewhat familiar. Thinking carefully, wasn’t he precisely one of those two human martial artists who jumped off the cliff?
Jumping down the cliff, now, he actually showed up in front of him alive and well!
Furthermore, this Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist actually said that he was his enemy of this war!
How was this possible?
Xiu Lie felt that his brain was somewhat inadequate right now. He actually lost to a Heaven Glimpse Realm brat?
Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, “Believing or not is your business; nothing to do with me. Now, I’ll ask you one thing. Do you … know Kanuo?”
Half-step Divine lord powerhouses could be counted on one hand in a capital city.
Even within the boundary of an imperial city, they more or less had some fame.
Hence, Ye Yuan directly asked this question.
Xiu Lie’s gaze turned intent and he said, “You … You’ve seen Lord Kanuo before? He … He has already gone missing for a million years! You … How do you know his name?”
Ye Yuan’s eyes lit up and he said with a smile, “You really know him! Heh heh, then that’s good!”
Seeing that ill-intentioned gaze of Ye Yuan’s, Xiu Lie revealed a frightened look.
“You … What do you want to do?” Xiu Lie retreated several steps back in a row and said in a panic.
Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, “Do what? Borrowing your fiend soul to use!”
Xiu Lie’s gaze turned intent and he said fiercely, “You dream on!”
Done talking, Xiu Lie suddenly turned into a cloud of blood mist and still wanted to escape.
But Ye Yuan was even faster than him!
One Sundering Stars releasing, it struck that cloud of blood mist.
Ye Yuan’s figure moved explosively, directly grabbing hold of that ball of Xiu Lie’s fiend soul.
After ten breaths, that ball of fiend soul gradually dissipated without a trace.
A powerful half-step Divine Lord powerhouse died in Ye Yuan’s hands just like that.
Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes, his gaze revealing a look of disappointment.
Kanuo was a figure from a million years ago. At that time, Xiu Lie was still just a junior.
He only knew that Kanuo received Capone Capital City’s City Lord’s order to go search for a small world’s spatial coordinates. In the end, he directly disappeared.
This disappearance was a million yeara’ time.
Ye Yuan was also harboring the mentality of giving it a try, that was why he came to block Xiu Lie. He did not expect that he really had some harvests.
Xiu Lie’s speed was fast, but that was also just relative to Wu Tianxiang and the others.
After Ye Yuan broke through to middle-stage Heaven Glimpse, sword maneuvering flight’s speed was even greater than before. Catching up to a heavily injured Xiu Lie was still a cinch.
Gong!
The identity token on Xiu Lie’s body as well as his spatial ring, storage equipment and so on, all fell down.
Ye Yuan casually beckoned, gathering up these things.
But he did not check it straight away. He just said coolly, “Senior has watched for so long, why don’t you reveal yourself?”
A figure slowly walked out, his eyes rather surprised as he said, “Looks like this seat really underestimated you! It isn’t unjust for Xiu Lie to be defeated under your hands!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Senior has made great contributions and toiled hard holding down the fort at Tiderain City! Coming here, it isn’t to make things difficult for a junior, right?”
This man was none other than precisely the Divine Lord Realm powerhouse holding down the fort at Tiderain City, Ze Yan!
But Ye Yuan also knew that this Ze Yan in front of him was merely a clone.
His real self did not dare to leave Tiderain City at all.
Otherwise, how could Ye Yuan dare to speak so casually?
If this Ze Yan had malicious intent, Ye Yuan would be unable to bear the consequences.
In reality, when Dustless drew close to Tiderain City, he discovered Ze Yan’s existence.
A hint of surprise flashed across Ze Yan’s eyes as he said in surprise, “Heh, looks like you, kid, really have keen insight into matters! I wonder when a junior like you appeared in my human race! Truly, the young ones are to be feared!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Senior is too kind!”
Ze Yan waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to be so on-guard against me. This battle was all thanks to you! I represent River Eternal Imperial City’s
hundreds of millions of lives and express thanks to you!”
While talking, Ze Yan clasped his hands at Ye Yuan, which was considered to have shown great respect.
Even though it was just a clone, Ze Yan was a true-blue Divine Lord Realm powerhouse.
To be able to do this was truly not easy.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Senior is too courteous! I, as a member of the human race, contributing to the human race is also ought to be.”
Ze Yan nodded and said, “Looking at your appearance, is it possible that you want to go to the fiend race’s territory?”
Ye Yuan did not conceal it either, saying with a nod, “This Ye has some personal affairs, this trip likely can’t be avoided.”
Ze Yan said, “Do you know that humans are the lowest race in the land of the fiend race, living subhuman lives? Even this seat also doesn’t dare to easily go deep in. You …”
Ze Yan’s words were not said until the end, but the meaning was already very clear.
Your strength was too weak; not suitable to go to the fiend race territory!
But Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Junior has some means. So, protecting myself shouldn’t be a problem.”
Ze Yan’s gaze turned intent and he said, “Since that’s the case, I won’t keep you anymore, be more careful!”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and walked away slowly.
Above the natural chasm, Ye Yuan was currently walking away leisurely but heard an earth-shaking loud sound coming from the direction of Tiderain City.
“Tiderain City, from top to bottom, thanks Hero Ye for your life-saving grace!”
“Tiderain City, from top to bottom, thanks Hero Ye for your life-saving grace!”
“Tiderain City, from top to bottom, thanks Hero Ye for your life-saving grace!”
Chapter 1475. The Sharp Edge of a Pretty Boy |
Capone Capital City was Eminent Orchid Imperial City’s northern-most capital city, which was also a strategic military city.
The Tiderain City great battle that had just happened, the fiend army set off from here.
“Yo, what a handsome little lad. Go home with Elder Sister tonight.”
“Tsk tsk, this lad is really handsome, making Elder Sister tempted. Handsome guy, enter the city with Elder Sister.”
