Chapter 250: 145, 146. The Ascetic Monk Who Embraces the Fire, the Indecipherable Song Cheng (Major Chapter - Seeking Subscriptions)_3

Song Cheng fell to the ground, and among the soldiers’ stunned silence, he unleashed a tail sweep, followed by a whirlwind-like flurry of claws.

Bang bang bang!

Crack crack crack!

Blood splattered everywhere, and bones shattered completely.

In just the blink of an eye, the dense and disciplined enemy army had suffered over a hundred casualties.

With the death of a soldier, the army’s morale, visible to the naked eye, plummeted rapidly.

The leading general was an old man, his eyes sharp as lightning, with streaks of silver-white among his black hair, and this was none other than Gongyang Gu.

Faced with such a scene, Gongyang Gu had never experienced anything like it. At that moment, his adam’s apple bobbed, and he shouted loudly, "Mr. Cui, are you not going to make a move?"

Mr. Cui was the Noble Family Child who supported the Six Towns and had joined Gongyang Gu in this interception, hoping to swallow up the King of Li River’s army.

At this moment, Mr. Cui looked up at the Two-Tailed Demon Fox, his expression revealing an indescribable emotion.

The Divine Soul, when it comes to possession, can only possess bodies similar to its own, mere humans. This kind of manifestation that gathers the natural essences of the world isn’t impossible, but even if one were to do it, the duration would be very short.

Because the Divine Soul will not adapt to this "non-human" body.

And once the possessed body is forcibly shattered, there’s still a loss to the Divine Soul that resided within.

Already ill-suited and now with the added loss, at best the Divine Soul would be exhausted, and at worst it would be damaged.

Yet, the demon fox before them had its body shattered twice, yet it was still able to manifest time and again.

This...how was it possible?

In the void, the demon fox danced wildly.

After shooting two arrows, Gongyang Gu could not fire a third.

Because... there was no third arrow.

The aged general stared fixedly at Mr. Cui.

Mr. Cui watched the demon fox, realizing the truth; he did not take action and spread his hands, saying, "Only the Family Head himself is a match for it."

The Family Head has a method of attacking the Divine Soul, and only with it can one attack the demon fox in the sky.

Gritting his teeth, Gongyang Gu said, "You have no plan whatsoever?"

Mr. Cui thought to use an Illusion Technique, but "Illusion Technique" did not distinguish friend from foe. If he used it, Gongyang Gu’s soldiers would suffer too, and furthermore... the enemy was clearly a powerful Mystic Realm being; his own illusion could only control those without a Ghostly Soul.

As several thoughts flashed through his mind, Mr. Cui shook his head with a bitter smile, "It’s hopeless."

The Two-Tailed Demon Fox in the sky was like a being from another dimension, executing a lower-dimensional strike on these soldiers; it was simply unassailable, and even if you marshalled all your might and rallied everyone’s morale to shatter it once, it could "revive" in the blink of an eye.

The leaves whipped in a frenzy, and the stones and sand flew; the dark Phantom Shadow of the demon fox in the air became a massive boulder weighing on everyone’s heart, with both Gongyang Gu and Mr. Cui feeling a strong sense of powerlessness.

What had never been seen, nor heard.

Suddenly, Mr. Cui said, "Retreat first!"

Gongyang Gu smirked bitterly.

Retreat?

How could they retreat?

The secret techniques of the Army Formation’s arrows came at a cost, similar to a "temporary burst of power in the Martial Arts World which leads to weakness afterward." If every arrow could be lethal, then they could rely on that momentum to continuously slay the enemy...

But if they failed even once, morale would rapidly disintegrate in a terrifying manner.

Gongyang Gu glanced around.

The once invincible force was now starting to collapse, and the tight defense disintegrated in an instant, turning the undefeated army into a mob.

All because of that one person.

At that moment, the sound of densely packed cavalry approached from the distance.

The Imperial army’s charge was like a sharp knife coming from afar.

Gongyang Gu’s face turned ashen, and Mr. Cui moved hastily, but before he could cast his illusion, the demon fox in the sky swooped down at lightning speed, piercing his heart with a claw.

The oncoming cavalry never expected this scene.

Su Mengzhen hadn’t expected it.

Even Song Cheng himself hadn’t expected it.

Astride her galloping horse, Su Mengzhen stood barefooted, steadying herself. As the charging cavalry split to either side, she performed a rapid, elegant dance, exuding charm and grace, layers of ghostly light emanating from her.

Under the canopy of ghostly light, the previously scattering soldiers of the Six Towns instantly stood frozen.

Su Mengzhen moved through the enemy ranks as cavalry from both sides and the following Imperial forces swiftly overwhelmed the intercepting enemies.

From start to finish, the Imperial side suffered almost no losses.

Seeing the encirclement broken and having charged through the enemy camp, Su Mengzhen looked up at the great Ghostly Fox, waved her hand, and uttered, "Let’s go."

She didn’t even want to say goodbye to the King of Li Mountain or Yan Baixiang.

The possessed female soldier collapsed softly onto the rocks at the edge of the gorge.

The two Divine Souls departed.

The King of Li Mountain who caught up later was in complete disarray.

Yan Baixiang looked around with a complex and fervent expression, digging through the pile of corpses, he found an old man with grey-white hair, barely alive.

The old man was injured and had fallen to the ground, but since he was in the Qi Realm, he hadn’t died.

However, having suffered from Song Cheng’s finishing attack, his injuries were so severe that he couldn’t move, and he looked into the distance with dull eyes.

Yan Baixiang looked at the old man and asked, "Gongyang Gu?"

Upon hearing this voice, the elder turned his gaze towards him and coldly uttered, "He who defeated me was not you."

Yan Baixiang had, of course, heard about the recent battle.

In fact, it was the mysterious uncle who single-handedly defeated the army, and the mother with the following Imperial forces were just adding splendor to what was already complete.

He sighed, "What a pity."

Gongyang Gu asked, "What’s there to pity?"

Confidence flickered in Yan Baixiang’s eyes as he clenched his fist, "I had intended to defeat you."

Gongyang Gu responded, "With such a monster appearing, what does military strategy matter?"

Yan Baixiang’s eyes sparkled with confidence; he tightened his fist, saying, "One might rise a foot higher in the Mystic, but warfare can rise ten feet higher; even without an Innate Ghostly Soul, one might not necessarily be unable to defeat them."
