Chapter 1014.
Night falls and the bright moon rises.
Wang Dust stood on top of the city wall, looking out at the Yan army camp with its campfires dotted with stars several miles away, his eyes flashing with a strange light.
He was using the Qi Looking Technique to spy on the enemy camp.
After a moment, Wang Chen withdrew his gaze and said to Shangguan Wu Ji, who was accompanying him, “It should be tomorrow.”
He spoke somewhat inexplicably, but Shangguan Wuji understood completely, “I’ll deal with Yan Xiaoyun, and I’ll leave the other two to Taibao!”
Under the current situation, Great Yan could be said to have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, if they didn’t want to die and destroy their country, then taking down Hanhai Pass was the only option.
And the Yan army that is pouring in can’t afford to delay it at all.
Not to mention the supplies, once the Hanhai army got the support from the inner counties, it would be much harder for the Yan army to take down this majestic pass.
That’s why they must fight quickly.
In today’s first battle, the Yan army suffered a big loss, and it was impossible for them not to learn a lesson.
Nine times out of ten, tomorrow would be the day of the decisive battle!
At that time, Yan’s three great Martial Zuns would definitely all mobilize to surround Shangguan Wuji, and as long as this Hanhai Army commander was resolved, then Hanhai Pass would definitely go down in a single battle.
Shangguan Wuji could of course avoid the battle, but without blocking these three sixth ranked Martial Zuns, they would be able to sweep through the walls of the Pass, destroying all of the defending equipment.
Including a dozen cannons!
If it was before, Shangguan Wuji would definitely be faced with a dilemma, but nowadays, he wasn’t afraid in the slightest, and was even very much looking forward to this battle, intending to give the enemy a big surprise.
“Good.”
Wang Dust nodded and smiled with Shangguan Wuji.
The qi is with me, this battle will be won!
The next morning, the Yan army’s garrison troops did not move, yet the austere atmosphere before a great battle became incredibly intense.
Near noon, this huge army began to advance towards Hanhai Pass.
It brought along all of its stone throwers and siege wagons, and took up the stance of a decisive battle!
Then it stopped three miles away.
Immediately afterward, one flag was raised high and waved in the wind.
The wind is picking up.
At first, it was just a light breeze, but soon the wind quickly became stronger and turned into a strong wind!
Most importantly, the wind was blowing from west to east, that is, from the direction of the Yan army to Hanhai Pass.
The Yan army had the upper hand.
Originally, this was not a big problem, but when the wind swept up the sand and dust on the ground and blew towards Hanhai Pass, the situation was different.
Countless soldiers guarding the city wall were blown to the point where they could not open their eyes, and some even got sand in their eyes, so they could only rub their hands or use water to clean them, making quite a mess.
Strangely enough, the gale was persistent and steady, as if the heavens were on the side of the Yan army.
However, both Wang Chen and Shangguan Wu Ji could see clearly that this was not a natural phenomenon, but an attack from the Yan army.
“Yan’s celestial masters are performing magic ……”
Shangguan Wuji’s face became grave, “They’re really giving it their all this time.”
Wang Chen also saw the cultivators located at the back of Yan’s army, those guys in magic robes were “jumping on the big god”, joining hands to create this gale that was unfavorable to the Hanhai army.
Dharma?
Wang Duan also knows how to do it!
He immediately strangled his hand, activated his body’s mana, and suddenly pointed to the sky: “Clouds gather!”
In the next moment, a mass of dark clouds appeared in the sky above Hanhai Pass, and quickly converged into a large cloud.
Wang Chen pointed ahead again and droned, “Thunder comes!”
Only a click was heard, and a dazzling thunderbolt flashed through the cloudy mass drifting towards the Yan army.
The Shangguan Wuji beside him was dumbstruck!
It was already an incredible miracle that Wang Chen possessed the cultivation of a Seventh Order Martial Saint, and he had never imagined that Wang Chen had even mastered the ability to cast spells, and that his magical power was still very profound.
He actually had to fight against hundreds of Yan Heavenly Masters!
Ka-ching! Ka-ching!
Without waiting for Shangguan Wuji to regain his senses, a thunderbolt bombarded the Tianshi formation at the back of the Yan army.
It immediately blasted down in unison!
These Yan cultivators thought that they were safe at the rear, and with the added strength of being outnumbered, they never thought that the Hanhai Pass side would launch a counterattack in the first place.
And it was also so overwhelmingly ferocious!
Although many of the cultivators were not directly hit by the lightning, they were also confused and their mana reversed, and blood sprayed wildly from their mouths.
The formation they had set up immediately fell apart.
The howling winds then stopped.
At the same time, the thunder clouds in the sky also quickly dispersed.
Wang Chen withdrew his hand.
It couldn’t be helped that this world was very unfriendly to cultivators, and just now, casting the thunder spell consumed a large amount of his mana, which was really difficult to sustain.
However, the effect was excellent.
It was now the Yan army’s turn to sit on wax, and the pre-established plan to attack the city could not continue.
Three silhouettes broke away from the formation, darting towards Hanhai Pass like arrows off the string, their speed simply unimaginable.
“Shoot them to death!”
The Hanhai general guarding the city wall immediately ordered an interception.
Accompanied by the quivering of bowstrings, hundreds and thousands of feathered arrows shot down from above the city wall, forming a large and dense rain of arrows.
However, the three charging enemies were oblivious to the rain of arrows and rushed to the bottom of the city wall.
The arrows that fell on them were all bounced off by an invisible barrier, and were not able to injure the three in the slightest.
At the same time, these three people raised their heads in unison and let out a long whistle that shook the four directions!
The Hanhai army guarding the city wall immediately felt that their hearts had been hit hard, their eardrums were about to be shattered, and with their minds in turmoil, they were unable to continue to intercept the other party.
The Yan Army, had deployed their strongest fighting force!
These three men arrived at the city wall immediately prancing and leaping high, surprisingly relying on a single breath to soar above the city wall.
“Yan Xiaoyun!”
At this very moment, Shangguan Wuji suddenly drew his sword to meet one of the silver-armored warriors, sternly shouting, “Today is the day you die!”
At the same moment, Wang Chen also took on two other Sixth Order Martial Exalted.
He didn’t say a word, but his powerful aura exploded, instantly locking these two opponents firmly in place!
Ji Shanhe and the other white-haired old man were horrified in their hearts.
This was because all the intelligence showed that there was only one Sixth Order Martial Exalt in Hanhai City, Shangguan Wu Ji, and the remaining three were either in the Northern County of Great Liang or in the Great Liang Imperial Palace.
Especially since the latter two Martial Honors had intervened in the Great Liang Palace Change, they simply did not have the time and energy to come to Hanhai Pass to support them.
The question was, again, where did a powerful martial artist suddenly appear from?
The two felt that their own Qi was firmly locked by Wang Chen, and if they forced themselves to go and join Yan Xiaoyun in besieging Shangguan Wuji, they would inevitably attract Wang Chen’s thunderous strike, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Unable to do anything else, Ji Shanhe and the white-haired old man could only change course and meet Wang Chen in unison.
The two Martial Exalted struck at the same time and used ten percent of their strength!
The invisible astral energy intertwined together, fierce and powerful to the extreme, as if the mountainous pressure was unstoppable, and slammed into Wang Chen with the momentum of a mountain and a sea.
In the face of the joint strike of the two Martial Exalted, Wang Dust only produced a palm.
A seemingly light palm!
