Lin Qian's gaze did not move away from the screen. He said softly, "Bie Han still has other moves."
Before he finished, the situation on the battlefield changed again.
———
At this time, only half of Bie Han's Sin Battalion was left. His fatality rate was fifty percent and the situation was greatly disadvantageous to Bie Han. Hai Jin Yun at this time did not care about fatalities, his intentions were clear, a life for a life!
Shang Yu Sheng's constant barrage quickly showed their result. As Sin Battalion's fatalities increased, Shang Yu Sheng and Hai Jin Yun's advantage in manpower became even more evident.
Bie Han's Sin Battalion was outnumbered by the two other battalions to start with. If he wanted to win, he had to preserve his forces and reduce the number of losses. Shang Yu Sheng and Hai Jin Yun both knew this. Hai Jin Yun was using a suicidal method to increase Bie Han's Sin Battalion losses.
Up until now, their goal had been realized well.
A fatality rate of fifty percent was the highest fatality rate in the history of Sin Battalion. The remaining Sin Battalion soldiers were not completely uninjured. Most of their shen equipment was in pieces. This mean that they could be more easily wounded, and killed.
Yet Bie Han's expression was still cold and immovable.
Just as many people thought that Bie Han's defeat was certain, a dark light suddenly came from the bodies of the remaining Sin Battalion members. Countless dark red seal scripts were like a crowd of earthworms that swam around their body.
The grey-white eyes of Sin Battalion soldiers were still empty and grey, yet their presence exploded.
"It's here!" Gongye Xiao Rong who had been silent all this time couldn't help but say.
Li Xian Er turned around and looked with surprise at Xiao Rong Shixiong. It seemed that Shixiong cared very much about Mo Cloud Sea!
The bodies of the Sin Battalion soldiers inflated like balloons. Their muscles became thick and strong at a stunning rate, their bodies multiplying in size, their shen equipment broken apart. Scales grew out of their hands, some had horns growing out of their heads, some had sickled tails, some had spines growing from their backs… …
Everyone who saw this inhaled in shock.
Mo physique!
Each member of Sin Battalion had a mo physique!
Only now did people remember Sin Battalion's origins. They had been mo hostages that Xuan Kong Temple had captured from all places and made from the elite among them.
The blow of this scene was even greater to mo battle generals. This was the first time they saw everyone in a battalion have mo physiques.
Seeing the flowing light on the bodies of Sin Battalion, they were stunned.
While they had entered the era of shen power and a mo physique was not as valuable as in the past, it was still a shock when every person in a battalion had a mo physique.
Those smarter found that the mo physiques of Sin Battalion soldiers clearly had traces of shen power. The inscription skill of Mo Cloud Sea was famed in the world. Adding on Mo Cloud Sea's study of shen power, this was actually normal.
Trap!
This was a trap!
The personages that watched this fight felt cold creep up their backs. Bie Han was so devious! So cold blooded!
———
To lure Shang Yu Sheng into the battle, he had sacrificed half of Sin Battalion. This was a person who could do anything for victory, this was a terrifying battle general that was cold and ruthless.
The strong pressure came like a mountain to cover the entire battlefield.
The balance immediately had tilted to Bie Han's side.
Sin Battalion's mo physiques were not just mo physique. Their attacks became even stronger. The battle formation with shen power added was unstoppable. The Sin Battalion soldiers started to fight head on. In their attacks became ferocious. In a blink, almost all of Hai Jin Yun's battalion was gone.
Is this your trump card?
Shang Yu Sheng's eyes flashed and a cold smile floated at the corner of his lips. He had expected long ago that Bie Han definitely had other cards up his sleeve. Otherwise, planning to fight one against two was a joke.
Looking at Sin Battalion that had immediately multiplied in their ferocity, Shang Yu Sheng's gaze was admiring. Mo Cloud Sea's inscription skill lived up to the rumors!
However, this stopped here!
Shang Yu Sheng's gaze locked onto Bie Han that flickered in and out of view among the Sin Battalion fighters. He was like an experienced hunter that stared at his prey that was about to fall into the trap.
He had always felt great confidence in this battle because he found long ago that Bie Han's Sin Battalion that caused people to lose their guts at the name had a nondescript weakness.
This nondescript weakness would not show up usually, but in battles of this level, it was enough to be fatal.
–Sin Battalion did not have a top level fighter!
Usually, the powerful Sin Battalion was enough to protect Bie Han. Yet now, Sin Battalion only had half of its members left. The strong defensive net was filled with holes even though the Sin Battalion soldiers had become more powerful.
Shang Yu Sheng had been constantly searching for a time to give a fatal blow. When Bie Han's last trump card was revealed, he didn't hesitate any longer.
With a long roar, the space around him suddenly boiled, his hair dancing like a swarm of snakes!
Power gathered towards him like a tide. The boiling space around him was like a bottomless monster that greedily sucked in the flood of power the battalion channeled towards him.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. Even Hai Jin Yun who had been fighting hard was stunned.
Almost everyone thought that Shang Yu Sheng was a rare control-type mo battle general. Even Hai Jin Yun thought this. Who would have thought that Shang Yu Sheng had hid his strength. He was also a classical mo battle general with outstanding individual strength!
Shang Yu Sheng's face flashed with eerie light, his eyes flashing. He found a hidden pathway criss-crossing through Sin Battalion's ranks.
His presence reached a peak. With a roar of laughter, he headed straight towards Bie Han like a blade!
Sin Battalion members along the way leapt at Shang Yu Sheng. Yet before they could go near, they were thrown back out into the air!
Everyone knew. Bie Han was finished!
At this time, a red colored raiment appeared on Bie Han's body. He turned his face as though he felt it. In the grey-white eyes of every Sin Battalion member, a thread of furious dark red flame jumped at the same time!
Translator Ramblings: Still fighting, three chapters now? I think this might be the longest fight described for someone other than Zuo Mo.
Chapter 785: Bie Han
Shang Yu Sheng felt a stirring suddenly rise. He raised his head in shock and saw a scene that he would never forget.
Ball of flame flew out of the bodies of Sin Battalion to rise into the sky like blooming flowers. In this moment, thousands of balls of flame filled his vision.
They seemed to slowly fly towards Bie Han dressed in red armor.
The red armor on Bie Han suddenly lit up with profound and complex scripts. In a blink, the flames in the sky entered Bie Han's red armor. An angry red mark appeared on Bie Han's forehead. The red armor moved as though it was alive, feathers shaped like tongues of flame growing at a stunning rate on the red armor.
Bie Han's face, neck and other exposed body parts were filled with many icy blue scripts. Those were the jinzhi that had been placed back at Xuan Kong Temple.
The icy blue and the furious red formed a breathtaking scene filled with stunning beauty.
Some with keener eyes noticed the changes in Bie Han under the red armor. While Bie Han's figure had not changed greatly, there were some tiny changes.
Shang Yu Sheng also found these changes. Suddenly, he thought of Sin Battalion's change just now and his expression changed drastically.
&
nbsp; ———
Xue Dong did not disguise the shock he felt. He stared hard at the flaming red armor that Bie Han wore, uncontrollable desire showing in his eyes. He murmured to himself, "Shen device raiment! A battle general shen device raiment!"
Lin Qian was similarly shocked. "I hadn't thought that Mo Cloud Sea would give their first shen device raiment to Bie Han! Great courage! Great vision!"
He had to admit Zuo Mo's strength. Mo Cloud Sea's first shen device was given to Bie Han. A battle general shen device raiment, this was the first one! Zuo Mo's choices were always unlike other people. When all the other powers chose to forge shen device raiments for the strongest member of their faction, he gave the shen device to outfit a battle general.
A seemingly daring choice was of great and crucial effect at this moment.
People could not understand Zuo Mo.
Lin Qian had a strong feeling of danger. The Mo Cloud Sea led by Zuo Mo was definitely the biggest enemy to Kun Lun other than Tian Huan!
Wait!
Lin Qian suddenly thought of something and his expression changed slightly. "Bie Han is a mo!"
Xua Dong stilled. When he reacted, his expression changed minutely as well.
Bie Han was mo!
No one would have thought that this information that everyone knew was now the deciding factor in this battle. Bie Han was a mo. He grew up in Xuan Kong Temple, and due to his outstanding talent, he was put in charge of Sin Battalion.
Bie Han was a rare mo who used xiuzhe methods as a battle general.
At this time, everyone understood this detail they had missed was so crucial!
Sin Battalion could be modified to have mo physiques, what about Bie Han? From a famed family, Bie Han had an outstanding bloodline. Mo Cloud Sea's inscription art had the power to express the power in his bloodline.
Bie Han whose bloodline power had been uncovered would skyrocket in individual power. His individual strength could probably match those of normal gold mo battle generals.
Yet this was not the most terrifying thing.
More terrifying was that this meant Bie Han could learn mo fighting tactics!
Bie Han would become a battle general that could use mo and xiuzhe methods!
For a battle general of Bie Han's level, any extra variation in tactics meant that he was that much more adaptable. His strength and the danger he posed would increase drastically.
And a whole other method of fighting?
No one knew!
Because this had never happened before!
There had never been a battle general of Bie Han's level that had skill in two styles. Sin Battalion, this wondrous battalion, gave Bie Han great help because Sin Battalion was made out of mo.
Bie Han and Sin Battalion were perfectly matched. This meant that Bie Han could command Sin Battalion to realize two completely different ways of fighting. It would be a headache even if it was a normal battle general that could do this.
And if it was a top battle general like Bie Han, how great would the advantage be?
Many people didn't even dare to think.
Lin Qian knew that with Zuo Mo's personality, he definitely would not ignore Bie Han's advantage. Bie Han's shen device raiment would have been forged with this in mind … …
This shen device raiment … …
———
The suddenly change caught Shang Yu Sheng off guard. However, after the initial panic, he quickly calmed down. His expression became calm again even though the presence that Bie Han gave off now immediately suppressed his!
Yet Shang Yu Sheng's mind was unusually calm.
He was patient. He had cultivated his individual strength yet never showed it for many years. He practiced control-type tactics but he still did all he could to make up for his shortcoming.
He never stopped perfecting himself.
The hard practice and sweat of many days and months caused his mind to be as strong as stone.
He knew that at this point, it was proven that Bie Han was more outstanding him. Both sides had played their cards and Bie Han's hand was better. He had been mistaken.
Yet he could not retreat now.
Other than fighting with his back to the wall, he did not have any other choice. Their battalions were entangled together and if he retreated at this time, there would only be one result—they would all be killed.
Shang Yu Sheng's gaze burned with fighting spirit. The pride and bravery all mo battle generals had made him fearless.
Since everyone's trump card was played, then what was left was to fight!
The possibility that he could win this fight was very small, but even if not for victory, he had enough reason to fight—for his pride! For his battalion!
He was Shang Yu Sheng!
Shang Yu Sheng's expression was calm as he fearless burned the power inside. No one knew that his tongue had been bitten to pieces in his mouth. Vast shen power accompanied by the thick tang of blood flowed like lava through his body.
Standing with his hands by his side, Shang Yu Sheng's presence skyrocketed!
The rising presence and his fearless intent to fight to the death filled every corner of the battlefield. Even the people watching from the mirages changed expression.
The mo under Shang Yu Sheng's command seemed to be struck by lightning. These men that seemed to be made from steel looked dazedly at the sky, at that proud and decisive Shang Yu Sheng shining.
That was their commander that gave them glory and hope!
Tears rolled down the upraised faces.
"Daren!"
Numerous angry shouts and grieving wails sounded from the battlefield. They knew that Daren intended to fight to the death.
Suddenly, a mo marshal wiped away his tears and shouted. "Fight with Daren!"
Suddenly, blood sprouted out of his body in a dozen places, the light surrounding him multiplying in intensity. Frantic power raged inside his body. He grunted, but did not waver. In order to create the image that he was a control-type, Shang Yu Sheng had a mo marshal in his battalion that had lead the attacks in his place.
"Fight with Daren!"
"Fight with Daren!"
Blood spurted, shouts and blinding balls of light rising. Each ball of light was like a furious flame that burning with anything left behind, life burned to create shen power!
Burning their lives for that commander in the sky that gave them glory and hope!
Light rose from the burning mo soldiers and flew towards Shang Yu Sheng in the sky.
The power inside Shang Yu Sheng increased at a stunning rate.
He looked down at the quickly dimming balls of light under him. The figure of the mo soldiers that fell to their deaths after offering him all of their power. Tears blurred his vision.
Suddenly, an angry shout rang over the battlefield.
It was Hai Jin Yun!
Countless furious flows of air spun rapidly around his body. He was like a blinding meteor that howled as he shot towards Bie Han like a moth to a flame!
Shang Yu Sheng's heart felt a stab of pain.
———
Bie Han opened his eyes again. Facing Hai Jin Yun charging at him, he was expressionless. Yet the armor he wore, [Arsonist], was like a burning flame!
The two opposite presences of coolness and fire wondrously merged into one.
He was like a piece of ice wrapped in furious flames.
He coolly pointed and stabbed towards Hai Jin Yun flying towards him.
Pop!
A deep beat seemed to explode in people's minds. The ground also shook.
The space in front of Bie Han seemed to be an invisible wall that rippled.
Hai Jin Yun seemed to be hit by an invisible hammer head on.
Before he could make any adjustments, Hai Jin Yu exploded like a ball of fire. The light around him was shattered, turning into fragments that disappeared into the air.
Hai Jin Yun fell from the sky without any signs of life.
Everyon
e in watching the mirages was intimidated. Their expressions changed.
The hard battle before had proved that Hai Jin Yun had the strength of a top battle general. Yet the death of a top battle general was so simple. How could people not be intimidated?
Kun Lun and Tian Huan felt as though there was a dagger at their backs.
Bie Han was so powerful!
———
Bie Han did not have any joy on his expression. Hai Jin Yun was at the end of his rope, his battalion completely gone, his energy spent. For mo battle generals, the battalion was the source of their strength. If the battalion was strong, the battle general would be stronger.
There wasn't even twenty percent of Hai Jin Yun' Battalion left. All of them were tired and void of power. The power that they could gather on Hai Jin Yun was almost insignificant.
In order to realize this goal, Sin Battalion had made a great sacrifice.
Using up Hai Jin Yun's power, producing the illusion of a hard fought battle, luring Shang Yu Sheng into the fight, all of that had come at the expense of Sin Battalion's sacrifices.
Bie Han had not expected that Shang Yu Sheng was also skilled in traditional mo fighting methods. He had originally planned to use his individual strength to make a surprise move and ambush him. If he could kill Shang Yu Sheng, he would win.
He hadn't expected Shang Yu Sheng to be so strong. More importantly, Shang Yu Sheng's battalion was almost completely untouched.
Yet Shang Yu Sheng was able to immediately understand the situation after detecting Bie Han's threat, advancing instead of retreating for a fight to the death!
Such a powerful opponent!
Bie Han's cold eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Translator Ramblings: The fight is still not over.
Chapter 786: Arsonist
The two burning balls of light, the two battle generals faced off in the sky.
Bie Han's aura gave off furious red flames, Shang Yu Sheng's aura gave off deep blue waves.
This battle had progressed unexpectedly to all, Bie Han and Shang Yu Sheng being the greatest surprises. Bie Han was ranked tenth of the top battle generals in the xiuzhe world. No one would underestimate his strength. Yet Sin Battalion's changes, and Bie Han's mo fighting method, as well as the angry flaming [Arsonist] he wore was a great shock to people. Just as people thought that Bie Han's last trump card was played, Bie Han would then play another, each a better card.
