Chapter 391: Chapter 390: Shockwave Arrow (23rd Update)

Just at that moment, Tuoba Feng with his thirty thousand Moon God Legion, arrived at Nanning Pass.

Tuoba Feng looked at Li Xiao who had rushed out of the city and roared, "Li Xiao, you’re defying your duties by leaving the city, what punishment do you deserve?!"

Upon closer inspection, Li Xiao saw the Moon God Legion in radiant silver armors in front of him, looking like gods. The one leading them was the Second Prince of the Dayue Kingdom, Tuoba Feng. His face instantly turned pale.

Li Xiao hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Lin Bai infiltrated Nanning Pass just now and destroyed every City-Destroying Cannon. I was about to lead the Light Cavalry Unit and the Bow and Crossbow Unit to chase down the Dragon Hawk Legion!"

Tuoba Feng stared at Li Xiao wide-eyed and roared, "What did you say! How is that possible! Nanning Pass has a full million City-Destroying Cannon Legion. Even if Lin Bai can fly, it would be nine deaths one life for him to get in!"

"How could he have destroyed the City-Destroying Cannon so easily! Didn’t Tang Tianhao notify you to be on high alert?"

Li Xiao responded remorsefully, "Your Highness, I was fully prepared, but I had no idea how Lin Bai was so familiar with our defenses at Nanning Pass and with the troop deployment of our Dayue Kingdom’s army."

"He approached the City-Destroying Cannon easily without alerting anyone or anything!"

"Ah, I am incompetent and deserve death. But please give me another chance, Your Highness. Let me kill Lin Bai and the Dragon Hawk Legion to atone for my mistake!"

Tuoba Feng said incredulously, "How is that possible! How is that possible! Is he a ghost? Or a god? How could he have gotten in without alerting anyone!"

"Li Xiao, you must have neglected your duty!"

"Humph!"

With a roar, Tuoba Feng leapt off his horse, striking Li Xiao’s head with a single palm.

Crack!

Li Xiao was killed by Tuoba Feng with a single palm hit before he could react.

The soldiers from the Light Cavalry Unit and Bow and Crossbow Unit who followed Li Xiao out of the city were stunned.

They stared dumbfounded at Tuoba Feng.

A general from the City-destroying Cannon Legion was killed just like that.

Tuoba Feng roared, "How many of you from the Light Cavalry Unit and the Bow and Crossbow Unit left the city?"

The Colonel of the Light Cavalry Unit reported, "Your Excellency, ten thousand men from the Light Cavalry Unit left the city."

The Colonel of the Bow and Crossbow Unit reported, "Your Excellency, ten thousand men from the Bow and Crossbow Unit left the city."

Tuoba Feng nodded, "Fine, follow me in pursuit of the Dragon Hawk Legion. If we destroy the Dragon Hawk Legion, all of you will receive a promotion."

"Thanks to your Excellency!"

"Thank Your Highness!"

All the soldiers exclaimed in unison.

A promotion! It was difficult in the army for an ordinary soldier to be promoted to a Corporal.

And now, this chance for advancement was right in front of them.

"Advance!"

Tuoba Feng mounted a warhorse, leading ten thousand men each from the Light Cavalry Unit and the Bow and Crossbow Unit, and thirty thousand from the Moon God Legion in pursuit.

A group of Dragon Hawks flew swiftly northward.

"Prince Consort, what’s happened to you?" On the back of the Dragon Hawk, Chu Jiangliu cried out in concern.

"I’m fine." Lin Bai, looking pale, looked down at the arrow that had gone through his abdomen.

With a flick of the Qingge Sword, he snapped off the arrow, then slapped the cut site with his palm, and the rest of the arrow shot out from Lin Bai’s back.

On Lin Bai’s abdomen, he had left a bloody hole, the size of a fist.

Upon seeing Lin Bai’s wound, true horror filled Chu Jiangliu.

Lin Bai sat down, his blood flowing onto the Dragon Hawk’s back.

He urgently circulated the Great Five Elements Skill, starting to heal himself, trying to stop the bleeding from the wound.

But for such a severe injury, it would be impossible to heal without half a month of rest.

Lin Bai opened his eyes, recalling the moment he was struck by the Dragon Shooting Crossbow. A destructive force nearly shattered his soul, rendering him momentarily incapable of reacting.

"Prince Consort, how is the City-Destroying Cannon?" Chu Jiangliu asked.

"It’s destroyed. But I only found twenty-three of them. Neither I nor the Colonel of the City-Destroying Cannon Legion’s Guard knew anything about the remaining two cannons," Lin Bai said, his face expressionless.

"Twenty-three! Those last two must have been hidden away by Tuoba Feng," Chu Jiangliu exclaimed through gritted teeth. "Damn that cunning Tuoba Feng!"

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

Just then, the sound of cutting through the air reached them.

Like iron, sharp swords fired into the sky, hitting the Dragon Hawks.

Immediately, Dragon Hawks screamed and fell from the sky.

"Prince Consort, Prince Chu, Tuoba Feng is catching up!" a soldier shouted to Lin Bai and Chu Jiangliu.

Turning around, they saw Tuoba Feng leading fifty thousand men and horses. A tremendous fury blazed in his eyes.

"Lin Bai, there’s no escape! I will tear you limb from limb!"

Tuoba Feng, watching the departing airborne Dragon Hawks, roared in anger.

Looking down, Chu Jiangliu said coldly, "Prince Consort, that’s the Royal Guard, the Moon God Legion. They’re followed by the City-Destroying Cannon Legion’s Light Cavalry and Bow and Crossbow units."

"In this vast open sky, our Dragon Hawks are sitting ducks. It won’t be long before they shoot down the whole Dragon Hawk Legion."

Chu Jiangliu said solemnly.

Lin Bai noticed what Chu Jiangliu described. The Bow and Crossbow Unit and Moon God Legion that Tuoba Feng had brought were all expert marksmen. In such an open space, their Dragon Hawks were easy targets destined to be shot down one after another.

"Where are we now?" Lin Bai asked.

"Northwest of Nanning Pass by seven hundred thousand miles," Chu Jiangliu replied.

"From what I remember, we’re close to the Falling Cloud Mountains, one of Shenwu Kingdom’s nine demon beast heavens, aren’t we?" Lin Bai asked.

"Exactly. You should reach there after about two hundred thousand miles," Chu Jiangliu confirmed.

"Then let’s head to the Falling Cloud Mountains," Lin Bai said, nodding nonchalantly.

"Alright."

Chu Jiangliu concurred with a nod, then gave his orders: "Send the message down. Head for the Falling Cloud Mountains!"

Upon receiving the orders, all men and horses galloped unstoppably towards the Falling Cloud Mountains.

Ahead, Tuoba Feng’s relentless pursuit had lasted nearly a full unit of time, yet he still hadn’t managed to pin down the Dragon Hawk Legion.

"Commander, they’re heading for the Falling Cloud Mountains. That place is one of the nine heavens of demon beasts within the Shenwu Kingdom. It’s an area of challenging terrain fraught with thorns and bristling with poisonous insects and miasma all year-round; fierce beasts and demons lurk in every corner. Once they escape there, locating them again will be difficult," cried a Colonel of the reconnaissance camp from beside Tuoba Feng.

"Damn it!"

With a curse, Tuoba Feng’s eyes flashed coldly as he declared, "I will not let them succeed!"

"Moon God Legion, Shockwave Arrows at the ready!"

The dazzlingly silver Moon God Legion, tailing Tuoba Feng, immediately took fresh arrows from their storage bags and nocked their bows upon hearing his call.

The Moon God Legion was among Dayue Kingdom’s elite forces. They boasted top-notch martial techniques, agility, warriors, cultivation levels, equipment, and elixir pills.

Even the Shockwave Arrows, a unique piece of equipment not possessed by other legions.

These Shockwave Arrows were the product of extensive research and development by the royal family of Dayue Kingdom. Once released, they exploded, resulting in a shockwave that spread within a range of several kilometers.

At a minimum, the explosion would cause all warriors and demon beasts within a thousand meters to become dizzy from the shock wave and distort their True Qi.

At its most devastating, the shockwave could instantly slay all living beings within that thousand-meter range!

It could be said that the Shockwave Arrow was among the best equipment in the Dayue Kingdom.
