Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 458: Blood Pond
Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Blood Pond
These are Spirit-breaking Arrows.
Crafted from special materials, they can penetrate Spiritual Power.
Only Spiritual Power at the latter stages of the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm can withstand them.
Other levels of Spiritual Power can virtually be ignored by these arrows.
Moreover, there are hundreds of arrows, almost covering three directions, leaving no room to dodge.
"Come closer to me!"
Yang Xiu bellowed.
Spiritual Power surged from within him, forming a Defense Shield that enveloped all ten people.
Among the ten, only Yang Xiu was at the middle stage of the eighth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, with Spiritual Power comparable to the latter stages of the ninth level.
"Boom boom boom..."
Just then, hundreds of Spirit-breaking Arrows flew towards them, crashing into Yang Xiu’s Spiritual Power Shield.
Even though his Spiritual Power was comparable to the latter stages of the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, the shield could not withstand the barrage of arrows.
"Get down!"
Captain Ling Chen shouted, charging towards Ling Wu and tackling her to the ground.
Ling Wu was too weak; if she faced these Spirit-breaking Arrows directly, she probably wouldn’t be able to resist them.
But he was different.
His physical body was strong.
His body alone was comparable to the ordinary sixth level of the Primordial Pill Realm.
Even if he were hit by the arrows, he had a high chance of surviving.
Furthermore, the power of these Spirit-breaking Arrows had greatly diminished after passing through Yang Xiu’s Spiritual Power.
Nine people immediately lay down.
These arrows were not all shot directly; a small portion was coming from above.
Thus, even lying down, they still couldn’t avoid all of the arrows.
Every one of them pushed their Spiritual Power to the limit and even took out Spiritual Weapons to fend off the attack.
Captain Ling Chen even unleashed the Heavenly Spirit Technique ’Infinite Light Screen’.
Whether it was useful or not, he would try anything once.
At the same time, he controlled a dozen Spiritual Weapon grade longswords in his ring with Stellar Blade Realm and directed Telekinetic Weaponry with Divine Soul Telekinesis as much as possible to counter the Spirit-breaking Arrows.
However, at that moment.
All arrows seemed to freeze in the air.
A figure emerged from the woods.
It was Liu Qingcang.
All along the way, he had been following and protecting Captain Ling Chen.
His Cultivation was at the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, and from the Dark Night, he had mastered the art of concealing his form. Thus, he moved undetected among the searching soldiers of Great Chu, as if he were entering a land of no one.
Initially, he thought he would not need to make a move.
But unexpectedly, Great Chu had deployed the Spirit-breaking Crossbows.
He had to act.
The technique that froze the arrows in mid-air was his Arrow Heart Realm!
Instead of the anticipated rain of arrows, the ten people opened their eyes to find all the arrows completely stopped in the air.
"What kind of technique is this?"
Yang Xiu and the others were utterly baffled.
Captain Ling Chen, on the other hand, immediately realized what had happened and looked towards the figure not far away.
He understood the method of controlling Spiritual Weapons that others couldn’t make sense of.
Wasn’t Liu Qingcang’s mastery the Arrow Heart Realm?
It was exactly like his own Stellar Blade Realm!
"Go!"
Liu Qingcang commanded.
As if his words implemented law, all arrows turned direction and reflected back towards where they came from.
"Ah ah..."
After a few moments, screams of agony echoed from a distance.
"Master!"
Captain Ling Chen rushed to greet Liu Qingcang with a smile.
Today, thanks to Uncle Cang, otherwise, he really might have died here.
"Mm."
Liu Qingcang nodded, his gaze landing on Captain Ling Chen and Ling Wu. A smile formed on his lips as he said, "Nice posture."
At this moment, Captain Ling Chen was on top of Ling Wu, face to face.
Hearing this, Captain Ling Chen then realized.
In the urgency of the moment, he hadn’t thought about appearances.
He quickly got up and pulled Ling Wu to her feet before running to Liu Qingcang’s side.
"Master?"
By this time, Yang Xiu was looking at Liu Qingcang with a face full of astonishment.
"Let’s leave this place before we talk!"
Liu Qingcang said.
"Right!"
Ling Chen nodded.
And hurriedly led the team to continue moving forward.
A few dozen breaths later, a group of soldiers appeared ahead, wailing as they lay on the ground.
Only one person was uninjured.
It was the captain of the Spirit-breaking Crossbow Team.
"Do you also have the qualifications to play with arrows before me?"
Liu Qingcang clenched his right hand, and an arrow materialized out of thin air.
With a flick of his right hand, the arrow pierced directly into the man’s forehead.
After that, the group finally entered the territory of Great Xia.
Upon entering Great Xia, everyone finally let go of the worry in their hearts.
"This is my master!"
Ling Chen introduced.
"Thank you for saving our lives, my lord."
Yang Xiu and the others immediately bowed respectfully.
Liu Qingcang didn’t even glance at the people: "I was only saving my disciple!"
Seeing Liu Qingcang’s arrogance, Yang Xiu and the others looked at each other in dismay. No matter what, he was their lifesaver.
Regardless of how bad the attitude was, they had to endure it.
"You have no strength, yet you still went to Great Chu to strut around; if I hadn’t been nearby and received your message, you might have really died!"
Liu Qingcang rebuked.
"Master, I won’t dare to do it again."
Ling Chen promptly bowed.
"Alright, it’s safe here now, I’m leaving. Take care of yourself!"
Liu Qingcang left these words behind and disappeared into the distance.
In front of outsiders, the show must go on.
"Captain Ling, thank you!"
Yang Xiu and the eight men bowed to Ling Chen.
It turned out that Ling Chen had sought help from his master.
"Enough, let’s go back!"
Ling Chen waved his hand.
He immediately sent a message to Zi Tiange.
Then, the group returned to the military camp.
With their return, the Northern Defense Army gradually reined in their aggression, eventually retreating entirely.
After coming back, Ling Chen and Li Changhe, along with Zi Tiange, entered Marshal’s tent to report on the military affairs.
"Very good!"
Marshal Xia Teng clapped and laughed heartily.
Originally, it was just to ambush a supply team; unexpectedly, they also wiped out almost two squads of the Blood Dragon Team.
This was indeed an unexpected joy.
"Marshal!"
Zi Tiange said: "This time we went to ambush, but we encountered an ambush, There may be an internal spy from Great Chu amongst us. Or, our people in Great Chu have been found out, intentionally luring us."
"Um, I understand."
Xia Teng nodded and said: "Don’t worry, I’ll have someone investigate it thoroughly."
Then, he turned to Ling Chen and Li Changhe, "Captain Ling Chen and Captain Li Changhe, you have completed the mission excellently!"
"So, I want to reward you generously!"
He waved his hand, and two guards approached, each holding a Jade Bottle.
"You will be rewarded with one baptism in the Blood Pond!"
Marshal Xia Teng laughed.
"The Blood Pond!"
Upon hearing this, many people in the tent exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with immense envy.
This Blood Pond was almost the highest level of reward in the Northern Defense Army.
Only those who had made great contributions to the army were eligible.
And usually, it was only awarded to generals.
But for Ling Chen and the others, who were at most colonels, it was an exceptional reward!
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Li Changhe, incredibly excited, hurriedly took the Jade Bottle.
Ling Chen also thanked him.
However, he was not familiar with the Blood Pond.
"As for General Zi Tiange, you have a different reward."
Xia Teng smiled.
The Blood Pond could only be entered once per person.
Entering more than once would be of no use.
