Also at the border of the valley, around 30 miles away from the battlefield, at a peak which was thousands of feet shorter, a white-haired white shirt middle-aged man who was covered in bright silver armor, climbed up this short peak. Then, he looked out at the battlefield which was tens of miles away without using any spell to increase his visual ability. However, it seemed like the tens of miles of distance meant nothing to him. His eyes sparkled as he looked on at the battle.

Beside him was one more person, Ruo Shui. She was ordered by Zong Shou to leave early. She stood tall and similarly looked on quietly into the distance.

On a flat ground at the foot of this short peak, there were many broken corpses. On a rough estimate, there were a total of 8 thousand of them, their hands all holding sharp weapons and wearing black talisman armor. Their bodies were well built and muscular. It was obvious that when they were alive, their fighting strength wasn’t weak. However, they all died tragically now.

At the center of those corpses was a giant altar. Numerous males dressed in spirit master attire laid dead all about. Their bodies didn’t have any injuries, only their heads were separated from their bodies. Without exception, they were all beheaded with one swift blade.

Beside these corpses was a thousand men group of cavalry. Similarly, white shirt and white hair, dressed in silver war armor, the faces that they revealed were all extremely handsome.

What was weird was that the bright silver armor which was carved with many patterns and looked beautiful and shiny wasn’t eye-catching. Instead, it gave these people sort of a hidden and invisible feel. If they were mixed into a crowd and one looked out, one would most probably look over them.

The warhorses under them were also silver in color, no different from normal Windrider foals. However, their skin color was covered in a layer of silver scales.

Their bodies were beautiful, looking light and healthy. One could imagine how swift and fast these war horses would be when they galloped.

A full thousand cavalry were formed up in an orderly manner, waiting silently under this mountain, none of them showing any signs of impatience. It caused the foot of the mountain to have an aura of solemness. Like all these people were merged as one with the environment and was a part of it.

“The one on the carriage is the prince? Not seeing him for 3 years and he actually became so tall. He is really exactly the same as the ruler. However, he knew that this place was occupied by Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain, so why did he come over to die?”

His face was first filled with a deep loss and confusion as he looked out at the carriage. However once the entire battlefield entered the eyes of the silver armor middle-aged man, the glow in his eyes expanded.

It was totally different from the situation he thought which was that Zong Shou and those who followed him needed them to save them. At that moment the carriage formation was really stable. Although there were tens of thousands of cavalry surrounding them, the moment they got close they would be forced back by the arrows that were shot out.

Most of them were basic arrows, only mixed with some wind blades or flame spiritual arrows which could explode. However as they were shot out by the three-arm spiritual crossbows, they were extremely strong. Often only 20 odd ones needed to fire at the same time and they would claim hundreds of lives.

10 miles away from there, the situation near the camp of the alliance army caused their mouths to be agape.

Only to see the 3 thousand mysterious armor cavalry were like an iron current, sweeping unrestrained in the enemy formation. 400 thousand people actually couldn’t stop them, even for a moment.

Behind them laid huge patches of corpses.

The white-haired middle-aged man thought his eyes were playing tricks on him as he shook his head. Looking closely, he noticed that everything was the same as before.

It was still those thousand mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry, 2 thousand mysterious armor iron cavalry elites looking unstoppable amongst the huge army.

And those corpses on the ground were also really shocking.

2 thousand tiger leopard cavalry, 1 thousand black cloud dragon spear soldiers, and 10 thousand black clouds elite cavalry, dead. These elites from Yunxia Mountain all fell here. Also, at the side, there was the broken armor of the Blazing Flame Mountain wind chasing armored cavalry.

He had obviously been through hundreds of battles. The white-haired man closed his eyes. In just a moment he deduced a large part of what had happened.

“On the side of the carriage formation, if what I deduce is correct, he should have used 150 Kongqi Sect’s wind flame explosive arrows. Or the Mingqi Sect’s bright flame burning arrows. Those 3 thousand armored cavalry should have first crushed the 50 thousand cavalry of the left-wing, which they charged at the infantry. Within a thousand breaths to take down 5 formations. But why didn’t they use bows?”

When his gaze touched at the grass patch in front of the crescent moon formation which was filled with arrows, the middle-aged man was enlightened and took in a deep cold breath. To be able to go in and out forcing the enemy to continuously use their arrows to break their momentum, this should have caused a lot of pressure on those few commanders of Yunxia Mountain.

His gaze landed on the 5th black armor square formation, at the red armored cavalry which had totally crushed it.

To be able to slay 2 thousand tiger leopard cavalry and break 5 formations successively, Yang Xuan and the few others would most probably have died under the hands of this hugely arrogant cavalry.

Moreover, at that moment, he had personally witnessed that Yunxia Mountain Mu Ling’s corpse being flicked up 500 feet by this person’s spear, exploding his corpse in mid-air.

“What exquisite spear technique. His technique to charge at formations is twice my skill! This guy is a huge general talent. Where did the prince find this person? No wonder he wasn’t afraid of the 400 thousand troops of the 2 cities. However, why would such a person follow the prince?”

A series of questions rose up in his head. Like such a huge talent, he could go wherever he wanted. Even those central empires would have a place for him. In just a short few years he would be able to have a noble position, so why did he want to work for Zong Shou?

However, in the next moment, his eyes contracted, “Purple lightning spear... this person is purple lightning spear, Zong Yuan! Ruo Shui were my guesses incorrect?”

Ruo Shui had always been silent by his side, allowing this handsome middle-aged man to mutter to himself. Only now did she turn around, blinking her eyes in surprise before she nodded her head.

“It really is him! In the past, I knew his talent was not bad, the top out of the juniors of our sky fox sect. Who knew he was a formation charging talent, no wonder the ruler had so high hopes for him!”

The breathing of the white-haired middle-aged man became more rushed, the veins on his hands exploding. His eyes filled with killing intent, his gaze like that of a blade which could nearly materialize.

“Ruo Shui, is this person working for the prince or is he still working for that Zong Yang father and son?”

Such a person... if he was still under Zong Yang, then no matter how important he was for the sky fox race, he still needed to slay him here!

Earth chakra 4 meridians to be able to be invincible on the battlefield. In a few more years, how many people in Donglin Cloud Continent could control him?

However this time a weird expression appeared on Ruo Shui’s face. Thinking back to these few days at the situation in Jiefu City, to make Zong Yuan work for Zong Hao and Zong Yang that was impossible. But to say that Zong Yuan was under Zong Shou was not totally true. It was like something was still lacking.

Thinking about it for a moment, she answered really seriously, “Don’t worry, the prince is really strong and really amazing!” Like she was afraid he wouldn’t believe her she specially strengthened her tone, “He is much stronger than you and I, much much stronger!”

The white-haired middle-aged man was startled, thinking that the reply was off-topic? The prince was a dual meridian body and was unable to cultivate. To say that he was strong, much stronger than them, what did that mean?

...

“This Zong Yuan is an unparalleled general seed!”

Within the valley, it was the 4th person who had muttered such words in shock. However, the expression of the master of the voice was totally ashen white.

Xiong Kui rested against the wooden railing, deathly staring below. Those 3 thousand mysterious armor iron cavalry were less than 1400 feet away from the wooden platform. In front of them there was only one 5 thousand men black armor square formation and behind were the 2 thousand maniac bear armored warriors.

However, looking at the situation, their morale was extremely low. Yunxia Mountain infantry soldiers within the square formation were in total despair. It was obvious that they had no confidence to be able to defend against the charge of the iron cavalry. They were only relying on the discipline that they trained up to hold on and not let the formation fall apart.

Even the 2 thousand maniac bear armored warriors under his charge were feeling nervous. They were the most elite troops of Blazing Flame Mountain and their mental strength was extremely strong. However, at this moment, they didn’t have much fighting spirit. They were just filled with seriousness and the heart to fight to the death.

...The bear race loved to fight. However, only when they faced an extremely strong opponent with a suppressive aura would they feel like this!

“Damn it! Damn it! Mu Ling, Xie Nu are really useless! The 3 of them couldn’t kill a 4 meridian martial ancestor! What is the point of having them?”

Feng Yu ferociously punched out and the railing in front of him was blown to pieces.

Xiong Kui came back to his senses and looked at the side. Although he was scolding, his eyes were filled with shock and pain and also a little bit of fear.

...The Yunxia Mountain prince who was famous for being steely was actually showing fear!

However, Xiong Kui didn’t have any intention to mock him. In such a short moment to challenge 3 Xuanwu ancestors, he was similarly afraid. He was afraid of the guy in red armor, hand holding the purple spear, who seemed like he couldn’t be beaten.

“It isn’t that they are useless, it is just that Zong Yuan is too strong! How scary...”

Feng Yu scoffed, he was all riled up walking around his high platform. Then he looked behind, “What happened to those spirit masters? Why did they only activate one lightning and after which not do anything else?”

“It is indeed a little weird! I think something unexpected happened.”

A bad feeling rose up within Xiong Kui’s chest as he felt really terrified. He wasn’t willing to think about it as he avoided the topic, “In the past, since you could force him to kneel to the ground why didn’t you kill him? If you killed him earlier this wouldn’t happen!”

“That could only happen if I had the ability to kill him!”

Feng Yu frowned, his fists clenched tight, blood seeping from his teeth, “No wonder Zong Weiran even if he knew that Zong Yuan was being raised by Zong Yang, he would go all out to save him. Who knew at that moment that this person who had no chances of breaking through xiantian would actually be such a general talent?”
