A figure with golden wings on its back disappeared from their field of view.
This attack was flawless!
The Light Void Wings on his back lightly flapped, and a rich flow of power seemed to flood in like the tide. His figure was like lightning and flew out a great distance. Zuo Mo did not feel any panic at being in battle. His mind was unusually serene. He carefully experienced the power from the Light Void Wings behind his back. Under the terrifying power, it was not an easy matter to control his posture.
This battle, however, was the perfect chance to learn.
As for the Sonic Lightning Walnuts, wastefulness was shameful … …
The Light Void Wings on his back shook, and his vision blurred. He appeared half a zhang in front of a xiuzhe.
Uh-oh!
Zuo Mo who had just been very smug made a strange sound. Before he could react, he smashed onto the other’s ling shield.
Ping!
The ling shield instantly broke. Zuo Mo’s earlier momentum did not dissipate, and heavily collided with the other..
Zuo Mo only heard a wail and the sound of bones breaking. It was like he hit a sandbag. He unconsciously moved the Light Void Wings on his back. A strong force passed over, and his figure uncontrollably disappeared again.
He was like a person-shaped wrecking ball that had completely lost control and bounced between the people in the crowd.
But his Great Day mo physique was very strong. Adding on that terrifying speed, bones broke and limbs tore off wherever he passed. The wails echoed in his ears.
He saw the others could not wound him and decided to ignore them to concentrate on controlling the Light Void Wings. Only when he could truly control the Light Void Wings would he have the true assets to fight against jindan. Every one of the six transformations of the Great Day mo physique were powerful. If he could adeptly use them, his power would furiously grow.
Vermillion Bird Camp used a completely different style. Each platoon was like a blade. They were like butchers dismembering ling beasts, accurate, at ease, and without hurry.
Guard Camp was still unmoving at their spot, but the crazily dancing black energy was changing strangely. It suddenly gathered and scattered, sometimes turning into a large snake, and sometimes as countless small snakes. The unpredictability and strangeness of the Little Mo Kill was fully expressed.
However, no matter if it was the waves of charges from the Vermillion Bird Camp, or the Little Mo Kill of Guard Camp, none of them dared to go close to Zuo Mo.
Zuo Mo’s dashes and crashes made everyone in Vermillion Bird Camp feel shock, and distance themselves. If they were accidentally hit, they would end here. Any xiuzhe that Boss hit had wailed, flew out a long distance through the air like a sandbag, and was smashed to pieces as they crashed into the ground.
No one was left alive!
No one was left alive if they were hit … …
Their hearts felt a chill. They could clearly see that Boss’ posture when he hit others was very strange. This sign made it evident that Boss could not fully control himself. If they were killed due to being hit while Boss moved uncontrollably, that was a true embarrassment. Who could they complain to?
The xiuzhe of Vermillion Bird Camp distanced themselves from Zuo Mo and traced out a long arc to circle around to kill the xiuzhe that wanted to escape.
Gongsun Cha’s smile had frozen on his face. He was looking with shock at the sky.
Compared to Vermillion Bird Camp’s avoidance, Guard Camp was even more depressed. When they had seen Vermillion Bird Camp moving aside, they had been slightly proud. Since they were attacking from a distance, they were very safe.
But shock quickly came onto Shu Long and the others’ faces.
The black energy of Little Mo Kill would go crazy and become uncontrollable for some unknown reason if it neared Boss and dispersed in all directions. In this short period of time, the black energy expended on the enemies wasn’t as much as the black energy that Boss had scattered.
What situation was this … …
Having met such a strange situation for the first time, Shu Long could only grimace.
Out of helplessness, he could only control the Little Mo Kill and attack the enemy from the fringes .
An extremely strange scene played out in the battlefield in the sky. Little Mo Kill and Vermillion Bird Camp formed the borders of the battlefield together like a steel wall. No xiuzhe was able to escape.
Inside this sphere, the sound of impact continuously rang out.
Zuo Mo saw the other was not able to damage his Great Day mo physique and decided to not care about his posture, and just focus on controlling the Light Void Wings on his back.
Therefore, he used all kinds of peerlessly strange positions and astounding speed to hit one xiuzhe after the other out of the spherical battlefield.
The people of Vermillion Bird Camp were alert. They were nervous about the enemies that were hit. No one would add another blow to these people. What they were alert about was not getting hit by these enemies. There was an unfortunate Vermillion Bird Camp xiuzhe that had been lightly injured by an enemy that had been sent flying.
It was a calamity from the heavens!
After a while, the enemies inside the spherical battlefield had completely collapsed. They furiously attacked the outside border!
In the sky, the blade-like charges instantly started!
Little Mo Kill was activated at full power without anything held back.
The wails of the enemy rang in their ears. Flowers spun out in the sky, and like dumplings, they continuously fell down.
The minds of these Sky Water Jie xiuzhe had been robbed, and their morale was at its lowest point. The entire troop was collapsing at a rapid rate. Having lost the commander, with collapsing morale, without motivation, they were just rabble. In front of elite troops like Vermillion Bird Camp and Guard Camp, they were a group of sheep waiting for slaughter.
The merciless slaughter only continued for a short hour before the entire battlefield was cleared.
None of the spectating xiuzhe were able to maintain their calm. They looked with pale white faces at the empty battlefield, and looked at the Master of Golden Crow City’s subordinates methodically looting the battlefield.
These people’s practiced and crisp actions, these movements that did not have any presence of killing, made the xiuzhe from Sky Water Jie smell the scene of blood and fire after such a battle.

“So weak!” Lei Peng jerked a jade pendant from a corpse as he snorted coldly. “Just this group of trashy people, and they want to attack us. They really don’t know anything.”
“People die for wealth, birds die for food, what’s so strange about that? Weren’t we the same in the past?” Nian Lu did not even raise his head, his movements were clean and brisk.
Lei Peng stilled at the words. Tilting his head to think, he nodded and said, “That’s true.” He then furrowed his brow and said, “But we are no longer the same. But how are we not the same?”
Nian Lu’s hands stopped moving. He straightened his spine, and said seriously. “We aren’t the same now.” But he also could not pinpoint where they were not the same.
After thinking fruitlessly for a while, Lei Peng was impatient. “Whatever, what are we thinking about that for? Just follow Boss. In any case, an was thinking that our way of living now isn’t so bad. It’s worth it even if we die!”
“En,” Nian Lu made a sound of agreement, his eyes deep. “That’s right. We lived long enough since we didn’t die in Little Mountain Jie.”
———
Zuo Mo panted heavily. It was the first time he tried out close combat fighting in a real fight like this. He hadn’t felt it before, but when he stopped, he felt his entire body was unspeakably sore. He inhaled sharply. It looked as though this Great Day mo physique had its limits. He couldn’t be so brash in the future.
“You guys are too vicious!”
A choked femal
e voice came from the sky. Zuo Mo raised his head and found a female xiuzhe within the crowd was swearing and pointing at his nose.
The surrounding suddenly became silent.
The faces of the xiuzhe beside Zuo Mo all darkened.
“What? Do you want to kill me too?” The female xiu proudly flew out of the crowd. Her eyes held tears, and her expression was excited. “They weren’t even defending themselves. Why can’t you give them a road to live? Why do you have to kill them all?”
* * *
Translator Ramblings: I was gone for a few hours and it seemed the comments section exploded. That made for a lot of good reading about the stupidity of certain people. There is a mindset the sects have because they have more jindan than Hundred Flower Alliance, they are prepared, and they have trained battalions which outnumber Zuo Mo’s group so they think they will win. They essentially believe Hundred Flower Alliance lose due to the factor of surprise and they will be “better.” The jindan will be kept in reserve because the sects are prominent ones and they want “face.” It will look like they bully outsiders if they use jindan while the other group isn’t. On the other hand, Zuo Mo and the others are in a mindset of war which means their actions are not “honorable” and they don’t care that much about “face,” not that Zuo Mo cared much about it in the first place.
Zuo Mo’s armies need hazard pay to help them with injuries from their own boss. Nian Lu and Lei Peng are stand ins for the rest of Zuo Mo’s people. They realize they have changed … … killing jindan using teamwork is pretty cool, even if they are not the strongest jindan.
Chapter 319: If You Want A Fight, Fight!
Zuo Mo rolled his eyes.
He decided to ignore her. This kind of woman didn’t have a clear head. Since the two sides had started to fight, if one spoke of benevolence, wasn’t that just asking for death? Crazy person!
“Let’s go!” He turned his head and said.
Shu Long led Guard Camp back to the slave transporting ships. They were able to fly for short distances, but their speed was slow. They liked using the steady slave transporting boats more. The Vermillion Bird Camp swam in the sky as they warily looked at the surrounding xiuzhe.
“Come on, kill! Kill!” The emotions of the female xiu became increasingly excited. “You killed so many people already. You shouldn’t be afraid of killing one more! What? You don’t dare? You people from Little Mountain Jie come to our Sky Water Jie and the first thing you do is to kill. Go back to your Little Mountain Jie, we don’t welcome you!”
The surrounding Sky Water Jie xiuzhe shifted.
The female xiu’s words really struck many of the Sky Water Jie xiuzhe’s hearts. They were already very resistant to the xiuzhe of Little Mountain Jie. Many people’s eyes became unfriendly. Some of the powers that had been observing started to shift.
Zuo Mo’s face suddenly became cold. He stopped in the air.
Vermillion Bird Camp started to consolidate. Having just stepped onto the slave transporting boat, Shu Long’s face darkened. The faces of the other people became ugly. They came from Little Mountain Jie and were abnormally sensitive to the atmosphere of their surrounding environment.
They felt enmity.
Zuo Mo did not speak. He was not shocked at this scene. To the xiuzhe of Sky Water Jie, they were just outsiders. The arrival of xiuzhe from Little Mountain Jie had already significantly changed the status quo in Sky Water Jie which was why their enmity was so strong.
“You won’t even have mercy on women?” The more the female xiu shouted, the more sorrowful and angry she became. “Didn’t you kill Sect Leader Su Yue? What? If you have the guts, then kill me … …”
The voice suddenly stopped.
The head that flew into the air, her expression full of disbelief. She seemed to still be unable to believe that Zuo Mo dared to kill her under the eyes of the public!
The xiuzhe of Sky Water Jie instantly rumbled. Many people also had expressions of disbelief.
“Too arrogant! Everyone, let’s kill them!”
“The people from Little Mountain Jie dare to come run amok in our Sky Water Jie, everyone, fight together!”
The crowd was extremely furious. Many people had blood-filled eyes as they yearned to fight. The powers that had been observing from the side were slightly wavering. Their subordinates had already sank into argument.
“Listen well.”
Zuo Mo coldly stated.
For some reason, there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest. While in Little Mountain Jie, he had assumed that after leaving Little Mountain Jie he would find paradise. Yet what he never thought was that he would immediately encounter something that broke through his bottom line in Sky Water Jie.
He thought of those flower slave with scattered minds and dazed expressions, entirely wrapped in ling flowers.
The scornful ruckus in the surroundings entered his ears. He wanted to laugh, but he found that he wasn’t able to laugh. There seemed to be a breath stuck at his chest. Savagery and killing intent twisted and roiled in his chest.
Therefore, he spoke.
The surroundings instantly became silent.
“I don’t care who you are. If you want to fight, fight.” His eyes were deep, and his voice seemed to float across from far away. “Don’t waste words. We can’t compare to you, we are much cleaner and in the open.”
The surroundings were deathly silent. The people looked dazedly at the Master of Golden Crow City in the air. No one had expected that the Master of Golden Crow City would say such arrogant and tyrannical words at such a time! Was this person crazy! Did he really think he could really do what he wanted in Sky Water Jie with just the people he had?
Everyone was shocked by Zuo Mo’s words. No one spoke.
Zuo Mo slowly looked around. His sharp gaze made many people have the impulse to turn their face away.
He raised his right hand in the air.
“Anyone that attacks, kill them!”
The voice was like the wind and snow that blew in the winter, not loud, but it was chilling to the bone as it swept everyone’s hearts.
No matter if it was Vermillion Bird Camp, or Guard Camp, everyone, including the forging division, all of them felt their blood boil. An indescribable feeling came from their hearts. They couldn’t help but shout together, “Kill!”
The shouts of several thousand people together were like thunder as it spread.
The Sky Water Jie xiuzhe that had been wanting to fight were all stunned by this shout. Their slightly heated heads instantly cleared. They had never heard such a fierce and domineering presence from any other troop.
The Master of Golden Crow City and Hundred Flower Alliance had personal grievances. That wasn’t a secret in Sky Water Jie. Ever since the Master of Golden Crow City had led tens of thousands of people out of Little Mountain Jie, he had instantly entered the attention of the large powers of Sky Water Jie. The origins of the Master of Golden Crow City were mysterious and were hard to find. But the presence of the Hundred Flower Alliance insignia on the five slave transporting boats gave them a great deal to speculate on.
One factor for their attention was that they desired the wealth of the Master of Golden Crow City. Supposedly, the five slave transporting boats were packed with large numbers of talismans and materials. After defeating Hundred Flower Alliance, the spoils would be even richer, and greed made their hearts move.
Another factor was the rejection of Little Mountain Jie xiuzhe by Sky Water Jie xiuzhe. The factions were especially unaccepting of any power that could destabilize their influence.
Just as the factions looked at each other and wanted to discuss, their expressions changed, and looked towards the sky.
Large patches of dots appeared in the sky. Before they could see clearly, the blinding sword energy that lit up when people were flying on the sword at their fastest speed lit up the entire sky, and forced them to narrow their eyes.
“City Master!”
“Ha! It�
�s the City Master!”
The shouts came like a tide.
———
These Little Mountain Jie xiuzhe that had come to help were very excited at this time. All of the surviving xiuzhe from Little Mountain Jie were ningmai, and they were in their forties or above. They were used to the way of the world. However, none of these people could keep their composure. Fei Shan was not an exception. He found he could not calm down.
He suddenly recalled the magnificent battles at Golden Crow City. They were deeply embedded in his heart. He still remembered his emotions at that time, especially when the City Master had led everyone to swear at the Clear Sky Old Forefather. He had imagined how exhilarating it would be to fight under the command of the Master of Golden Crow City. He hadn’t thought such a day would really come. He was very excited.
The Master of Golden Crow City looked to be in his early twenties. Among these fifty and sixty year old ningmai, he was somewhat outrageously young. But this youth that was outrageously young seemed to have a charisma that made people trust and obey him, and to be willing to fight for him!
The Sky Water Jie xiuzhe jumped in fright, and hurriedly rode their swords to flee.
———
In a short while, all of the Sky Water Jie xiuzhe had left the enormous Hundred Flower Valley. This change was so sudden that some Little Mountain Jie xiuzhe were too excited and wanted to chase before they were pulled back by their fellows.
“Stop shouting! Listen to the City Master! Which of you is more able than City Master!”
“Everyone listen to the City Master!”
The heads of the little factions in this crowd of xiuzhe spoke, and those xiuzhe making a fuss instantly closed their mouths. In terms of command, no one dared to compete against Zuo Mo.
At the beginning, Zuo Mo was quite puzzled. When he was informed that these xiuzhe had all heard that he was in danger and came to help, he was dumbstruck where he stood. He was very moved. Truthfully, he had never thought of these people when he fought with Clear Sky Old Forefather. He just did it for himself.
