Chapter 460: Strength of Blood Cloud Cavalry
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“You want me to wipeout Lingyun Sect? Elder Qiao must be joking! Lingyun Sect has 8 grade 9 elders alone. How could I match them? As for the combat strength of these blood cloud cavalry, I haven’t tested out their strength…
Zong Shou laughed involuntarily, shaking his head. He truly didn’t have the intention to wipe out Lingyun Sect, nor did he have the power.
At most, he would be able to kick out this sect who had grievances with him in the last life and this out of Donglin Cloud Continent.
After saying those words, Zong Shou stopped bothering about Qiaohan. He sped up and not long later was in front of the camp gates.
Those 2800 blood cloud cavalry instantly bowed, using their hands to beat on the armor in front of their chest, resulting in an armor clashing sound.
Half of them had passion filling their eyes.
Zong Shou knew that these were the people who have cultivated the blood cavalry kill to a certain level. It was why they were the most loyal to him, close to worshipping.
As for the other portion, they were new, less than a year here. It’s is why their expressions were calmer but still respectful.
Zong Shou felt complicated. He hated the most in the last life was the evil skills to control one’s heart.
However, he had to rely on it to gather strength.
To get such benefits but still grumble about how this heart sutra wasn’t a righteous technique. Zong Shou was a hypocrite.
Yin Yang and Zong Gang stood together to welcome him, and then they stood beside him. After greeting, Zong Gang started to grumble, “Ruler! I think I shouldn’t be this right pillar general. Those official matters are so annoying. Why not move me to this blood cloud cavalry. I am willing to even to be the commander of a unit!”
Zong Shou smiled when he heard that. The guilt in his heart dissipated a little. He had wanted to pull this Zong Gang down from the right pillar general position. He knew that Uncle Gang could be a general but not a commander. Unfortunately, there weren’t any suitable people.
He only acted like he didn’t hear it, turning around and at the silent Yin Yang and asked, “Are the preparations complete!”
Yin Yang nodded his head, waving his hand as a signal. Then, roars could be heard from another corner of the canyon.
All of them looked towards the sound, and they realized that there were thousands of iron cages there.
Qiaohan took a look, and his pupils constricted. Within these iron cages were all grade 6 beasts!
They seem to be from beneath the cloud ocean and were filled with a few demonic tendencies.
He couldn’t see through this Gantian Mountain’s strength anymore. The beasts in the abyss were easy to kill, but it was extremely difficult to capture them. To catch thousands of grade 6 beasts was impossible unless one had enough strength.
However, recently when the Gantian Mountain cloud ships went beneath the cloud ocean, various sects paid close attention and there was nothing abnormal with them.
Did Gantian Mountain have another secret squadron?
Along with those cages opening up, the restless grade 6 beasts all dashed out. They roared as they charged towards the camp.
Yin Yang expressionlessly opened his mouth, “After receiving news of ruler coming back we stopped feeding them. They have been hungry for 2 days. Just now we fed them maniac strength pills and their strength has reached the peak of grade 6, even half a step to grade 7!”
Qiaohan was startled once more. The so called maniac strength pill was a sort of pill that could bring out potential, causing either people or beasts to go crazy and obtain 2 or 3 times their usual strength. However after which they would be greatly hurt, affecting their lifespan.
The beasts beneath the cloud ocean were all born in cruel lands and their strengths were originally already really strong. After being fed with this maniac strength pill, their combat power was just half a step to grade 7!
Just as his expression changed, those 2800 blood cloud cavalry finally moved.
First, they lined up in an orderly manner and galloped forwards. Then, they suddenly sped up! Like a blood-colored arrow directly charging at the beast wave!
Just as both sides clashed, 2800 blood cloud halberds rose high up and fell at the same time! It brought up a blood-colored shadow, fresh blood instantly spurting all about.
The moment they were in contact, 400 grade 6 beasts were instantly slain!
The process after which was a trample, crushing victory! Everywhere the blood cavalry passed, they were unharmed. Those beasts which consumed the maniac strength pill were massacred without any way to fight back.
Zong Shou’s sharp senses could even see that through the blood-colored mist in the corpses, they would turn into balls of fog that would be absorbed into the armor.
Those blood-colored halberds seem to have come alive and were crazily absorbing blood.
Every beast that was killed would cause the aura of the blood cloud cavalry to become stronger.
…This was the true mystery behind the blood cloud cavalry. The armor and halberds could rely on the blood of the dead to raise one’s strength temporarily and help regain stamina.
Which was why when they were on the battlefield, the more they killed the stronger they got.
When a set of blood cloud armor was filled to the brim, it could make the lowest 4 meridians martial ancestor into a Xuanwu ancestor.
It was a little similar to the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique. One relied on one’s body while the other purely relied on external strength.
In the past, the common people path used spirit master interference to break this technique of the blood cloud cavalry to stop the blood absorption.
Without anything to rely on, although the blood cloud cavalry was strong, they could only fight to the death.
In a short few breaths, there wasn’t a single grade 6 beast that remained standing.
The 2800 iron cavalry split into 9 units, splitting up and piercing through the beast wave, they then worked together to strike. The way they charged at the formation was smooth.
After they spread out to chase out, no beast could escape.
Qiaohan felt bitter in his heart as he watched on. This monster king knew about the blood cavalry kill heart sutra. He also felt shocked, how did Zong Shou obtain these 2800 dragon horn winged horses.
Speechless for a moment, Qiaohan couldn’t help but say, “Congratulations ruler! Building such a strong army. As expected from the blood cloud cavalry which was famous during ancient times, truly extraordinary!”
He meant his words. Beasts that needed at least 3 of the same grade to barely handle was defenseless as they were wiped out by the blood cloud cavalry! Their combat strength was indeed so strong that no one would have other thoughts!
Zong Shou knew what he was thinking and was just too lazy to bother. He still looked into the distance at this group of cavalry. After they killed the last grade 6 beast they automatically reformed their formation. It was still 9 blood-colored arrowheads, in an orderly manner, ready to fight once more.
Only then did Zong Shou nod his head in satisfaction. Handing these blood cloud cavalry to Yin Yang was the right decision.
He took out a set of blood cloud cavalry armor and wore it on his body. The grade 5 dragon horn winged horse also changed into a blood-colored horse armor. Then, he held a blood-colored halberd and smiled towards them, “They are just grad 6, unable to see the true limit of the blood cloud cavalry. There are no strong enemies here, we just have to find those yin serpents. Do you all dare to head over to the evil spirit moat with me?”
Although he was asking, even before waiting for them to answer, Zong Shou already started galloping forward.
Yin Yang and those 2800 blood cavalry were spiritually connected with Zong Shou. They all didn’t hesitate and followed behind.
Renbo and Qiaohan exchanged glances with one another and followed behind.
The evil spirit moat was not far away from the canyon, just 10 miles away. This place was said to be a battlefield during the ancient cloud desolate era. An expert slashed out with a sword and killed tens of millions of people, leaving a 13 thousand mile sword mark and a half-circular area wrapped around the east of Gantian Mountain.
Due to the vengeful aura from the deaths, this evil spirit moat also became where evil spirits and demonic beings gathered.
It was why there was the drawbridge outside of Zhenshan Pass. It was crafted by a Saint realm expert, not only could it connect things but it could also suppress the evil beings in the moat.
When Zong Shou led all of them into the moat, he felt that there was an extremely maniacal yin wind that blew all around. However, there weren’t any evil beings that dared to get close. They were forced far away by the blood glow.
They swept about the moat for tens of miles before they heard a whistle that was similar to a dragon roar. 20 giant flood dragons whose bodies were covered in green yin mist drilled out from the fog in the distance and pounced forwards!
Everyone trembled a little. Although these yin serpents didn’t have much strength they were true grade 7! They had the blood of the mysterious yin dragon, their combat strength far above that of soul beasts, able to compete with same grade peak beasts!
Zong Shou smiled. With a thought, numerous explosions sounded out within the blood cloud cavalry force.
Thousands of people’s energies linking up, the blood-colored halberd in Zong Shou’s hand also slashed out!
The blood light flashing. Before the 4 yin serpents that pounced towards him could even react they were split by the halberd glow, their yin soul body was smashed to bits!
Zong Shou, on the other hand, was perfectly fine, stepping out from all these yin serpents.
Then, it was Yin Yang and those 9 unit commanders whose strength had reached the Xuanwu ancestor realm.
Blood colored halberd glows flashed successively. 2800 halberds sliced the 20 over grade 7 yin dragons into pieces! They were unable to form up into any shape.
At this moment a roar spread out from the distance. 2 even larger yin serpents charged over. They had dragon horns growing out of their heads with dragon legs out of their bodies, looking a little similar to his lightning winged flood dragon.
“Grade 8 peak?”
Zong Shou’s eyes lit up. These 2 yin dragons could be said to be half a step into grade 9. If they worked together, they could even go up against grade 9 experts.
