Chapter 186 Dusk Attack
For the next few days, the Fire Barbarians did not continue attacking the city. To Wu Kunhu, he hoped that the enemy would continue attacking the city. Judging from the advantages and disadvantages of warfare, allowing the enemy to attack the city would undoubtedly allow them to use the city walls to look down from above and kill the enemy better.
Within the city, He Ping’an was standing in front of Su Wen.
It had been a long time since they last met. “Young Master, I didn’t expect you to be so strong now.” He Ping’an smiled. Su Wen’s skills had already surpassed his by quite a bit. “How are things between you and Lan Qingqing?” Su Wen asked. He Ping’ an spoke the truth, “When Lan Qingqing and I arrived at the Southern Wilderness, she used the name of the Blood Barbarians to gather many Blood Barbarians. Although these people are under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, their lives aren’t too good. She used the money you gave her to raise a group of people, but most of them aren’t very skilled. You should also understand our strengths. If there is someone in the sect whose skill is too high, it will be difficult to control.” “Currently, there are slightly over three thousand people in the sect, but most of them are from the Blood barbarian tribe. As for me, according to Young Master’s instructions, I’ve also made some friends among them. If I really speakout, these barbarians will have to consider.” Su Wen smiled and said, “Then this war didn’t affect you guys, right?” He Ping’ an said, “The Southern Wilderness has always been a place of constant war. After the Fire Barbarians broke into the city, most of the people they killed were human commoners. As for the Blood Barbarians, although the Fire Barbarians plundered them, as long as we don’t provoke them, they won’t easily kill us. No matter what, they also have the blood of barbarians.”
“Besides, they have no intention of occupying those cities. They just want to plunder money, food, and supplies. Once they get what they want, they will also restrain from killing people.” “But there are still implications… it’s war, after all. It’s not as if the barbarians will restrain their men…” At this point, He Ping’n shut his mouth and stopped talking. Su Wen fell into silence. He Ping’an’s words were rather vague.
But he was not stupid, how could he not understand the true meaning within?
What did he mean by restrain from killing? Naturally, they would only kill anyone they disliked. It was just that they did not carry out a large-scale massacre! Su Wen did not know what the people’s lives would become after the barbarians passed through the borders.
In reality, barbarians were different from humans.
To the south of the Great Zhou was the Hundred Thousand Mountains!
There were countless barbarians among them, and they formed all sorts of barbarian tribes based on their strength.
The Fire Barbarians and Blood Barbarians were only one of them. In fact, they could be considered one of the weaker ones. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been chased to this border.
The first to fight the Great Zhou was the Blood barbarians!
However, after the Blood barbarians were defeated, the land became part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and many Blood Barbarians became slaves of the Zhou Dynasty.
Now, the next enemy was the Fire Barbarians Tribe!
Fire Barbarians controlled fire and often did not want to occupy any land when fighting Great Zhou.
There wasn’t much point in them taking territory. After all, their barbarian race population was much smaller than the human race.
However, they liked things from the Great Zhou Dynasty. They could still do business during peaceful times, but during war, plundering was the simplest method, without cost!
Su Wen shook his head and sighed. He knew that this war would last for a very, very long time. Even if the Great Zhou slaughtered the Fire barbarians one day, there would still be other barbarian tribes to take their place.
They could only continue fighting and kill! Great Zhou could not afford to be weak. The barbarians would come and bite them at any moment.
Su Wen shook his head and threw away these unnecessary thoughts. He then asked, “Do you think these Blood Barbarians are reliable? What do they think of humans?”.
He Ping’ an sighed. “It’s actually not that bad. There’s no longer any mention of the Blood Barbarian ideals. His Majesty has issued many orders in this area. After the Blood Barbarian lands were incorporated into the Great Zhou Empire, His Majesty moved people here, encouraging the Blood Barbarians to marry humans and dilute their barbarian bloodlines. Currently, many of them are actually mixed bloods. For instance, Lan Qingqing. It’s just that in daily life, they sometimes still discriminate against each other. However, these people are often simple-minded and easily bewitched by others. Lan Qingqing used this to quickly establish her own faction.” “What do you think she wants?” Su Wen asked. He Ping’an smiled and said, “What else can she do? From the looks of it, she just wants to dominate an area, but she knows that our side don’t have any experts. We’re still far from her masterplan.” “Alright! Thank you for your hard work, Uncle He. Please follow this woman for a few more years.” “Yes!”
Su Wen sighed as he watched He Ping’an leave. In the end, this was just a random chess piece he threw.
He turned to look at his system interface.
Host: Su Wen
Emotional Value: 367,000 points
Level: 22
Cultivation: 6th Grade Earth Rank
Cultivation Technique: Heaven & Earth Great Solar Sutra
Battle Techniques: Jadebreak Fist (LV9), Layered Wave Saber (LV9), Stellar Transposition (LV3), Great Sun Supreme Policy (LV1)
Bloodline: Vermilion Bird
300,000 over emotional points, and two level ups. This verbal sparring gave him almost 800,000 emotional points .
“How satisfying!” Su Wen was overjoyed. After pondering for a moment, Su Wen decided to upgrade the Great Solar Supreme Policy! Towards mastery of martial techniques, Lv1 was too low. Although the effect of Stellar Transpositiont was also excellent, it was still slightly inferior when compared to true killing techniques. (Ding-dong. Upgrading the Great Sun Supreme Policy. 300,000 Emotional Value will be consumed. Do you want to upgrade?] Upgrade! In an instant, Su Wen’s Great Solar Supreme Policy was upgraded to Lv2. This time, Su Wen closed his eyes tightly as he digested the vast knowledge of martial arts in his mind.
Compared to the upgrade of his levels in Earth Rank martial arts, this Great Solar Supreme Policy contained too much information and comprehension.
Su Wen only opened his eyes after an entire day. “Huuu!”
He let out a light breath. Although his cultivation base did not increase, he felt that his strength had received a tremendous increase!
When he opened his eyes, he found Wu Muyu squatting in front of him, looking at him quietly with her big pair of eyes. She saw that Su Wen was awake, Wu Muyu smiled and said sweetly, “Brother Su, you’re really good to look at.” Su Wen reached out and gently knocked her on the head. “Stop flattering me.” “I really think you look good…” Wu Muyu said as she sat on Su Wen’s body. She smiled and said,” Brother, you’ve been here for a day! I didn’t let anyone disturb you. Am I obedient?” Su Wen felt the softness on the girl’s body and reached out to gently scratch her nose. “Of course you’re a good girl. Muyu is the most obedient!”
“I want a kiss!”
“Muamuamua.”
Just as the two of them were being intimate, a Secret Shadow Guard suddenly barged in and knelt on the ground. He didn’t even dare to raise his head as he reported, “My Lord, General Wu has sent someone to ask you to report to the general’s residence immediately!” Su Wen was stunned and looked at the sky. It was already night time! Could it be that Old Wu wanted to treat him to a meal? He seemed to have been running out of the city frequently these past two days… Could he have gotten himself another Wind-Ripping
Hou?
That thing… was really delicious.
“Brother Su, why are you drooling?” “Isn’t it from just looking at you.” Su Wen smiled and hastily made up an excuse. Then, he stood up and whispered in Wu Muyu’s ear, “Let me go see why my future father-in-law called for me!”
Wu Muyu lowered her head and blushed.
Su Wen left with a big smile on his face. He still had two more chances to draw the lottery, so he would try it when he had time!
Su Wen was disappointed when he followed the messenger to the general’s residence.
Forget about eating rice… it was more like going there to eat sh*t.
A large group of generals were gathered here, and it seemed like they had important matters to attend to.
When Wu Kunhu saw Su Wen, he spoke out, “Kid, you’re here? Coincidentally, I’ve already finished setting up the formation! Tonight, we’ll attack the barbarian camp at night! Go to the vanguard camp and follow me to rush them!”
“Harh?”
Su Wen’s eyes widened in shock. What the heck, you called me here just to make me risk my life with you?! Wu Kuihu said, “Your flame energy True Qi has a restraining effect on the flames of the Fire Barbarians. If you go, it will be easier to strike down the enemy’s morale…” “I’m not going!” Su Wen straightened his neck. All the generals were shocked. One had to know that Wu Kunhu was extremely strict in the military!
Who would dare to say no in front of him?
Even if he knew that it was a suicide mission, he had to grit his teeth and accept it!
Wu Kunhu narrowed his eyes and said calmly, “Do you want to die?” “I haven’t eaten for the entire day! It’s a no go! I have to eat first!” Su Wen was telling the truth. He was starving right now. “No problem! Someone, bring him food!” Immediately, someone brought over a lot of meat!
“I want to eat the Wind-Ripping Hou!” Su Wen pursed his lips! Wu Kaihu laughed loudly. “Haha! If you can kill more than 1,000 barbarians tonight, I’ll get you one even if I have to travel through mountains and rivers after I return to the capital!” “It’s a deal!”
All the generals were dumbfounded. This Young Master Su was really not afraid of General Wu!
But regarding this bet, everyone couldn’t help but curl their lips!
A thousand Barbarians?
Did they really think that the Barbarians were watermelons, that they could cut them however they wanted? Su Wen grabbed a cow leg and started eating! “Do you have any wine?” Su Wen asked, “Just eating the meat alone will choke me!” “Serve the wine!”
Wu Juhu looked at Su Wen and smiled. “If you can kill 5,000 people, I will marry Muyu to
you!”
Su Wen rolled his eyes at Wu Kunhu and sneered. “Stop trying to fool me. How many barbarians are there in total? You think there’s only me doing the killing?” Big mouthfuls of meat! Big bowls of wine! “Ha!” Su Wen let out a breath of alcohol. He then turned to look at Wu Kunhu as he solemnly spoke, “But don’t worry.If I can kill 10,000 of them, I won’t stop at 9,999! Even if my arms are broken, I still have my teeth. I’ll bite two to death!” Seeing Su Wen’s ruthlessness, Wu Kunhu laughed loudly. “Good lad! Let’s see how you do tonight!” In the dark night, they journeyed over with only their blades. There were no warhorses! Everything was done on foot!
This was also a characteristic of this world.
Most of the time, when it came to a true battle to the death, warhorses were actually a burden to these martial artists!
Under the night sky, everything was so quiet! Three miles away from the barbarian camp. Wu Kunhu ordered his men to stop! If they continued forward from here, they would definitely be discovered!
“Raise the torches! Kill!”
Wu Kunhu let out a resounding howl!
He took the lead and charged out!
“Kill!”
The flames lit up, but not to illuminate the area. Around the Barbarian camps, several other armies charged out!
“Kill!”
For a time, shouts of killing filled the air! Wu Kunhu was at the lead!
Following closely behind was the vanguard battalion.
Su Wen realized that as the soldiers charged forward, a strange power was gathering around Wu Kunhu’s body! At the same time, it was gradually spreading to the entire army. As for Wu Kunhu, it was also clear that he was intentionally suppressing his speed to prevent the formation from falling apart! “Military Formation Buff!” Su Wen thought to himself. [Ding-dong. The host has been enhanced by the Blood Fiend Army Formation Buff. It lasts for six hours, and stamina as well as Qi regeneration speeds will increase by 30%. The host has also obtained the Blood Fiend attribute. Every time the host kills a person, there will be a baleful aura surrounding him. Note: The baleful aura can increase the host’s attack strength and intimidate the enemy!] Su Wen raised an eyebrow. ‘So this is Wu Kunhu’s Army Formation? By the time the buff covered everyone, they had already rushed to the front of the barbarian camp! At this moment, the Barbarians had already charged out. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Many barbarians had already begun to throw their javelins.
Wu Kunhu roared in response and swept his spear wildly! The rain of javelin could not withstand a single blow from him. He directly broke into the enemy’s formation!
At that moment, another loud roar was heard!
“Wu Kunhu, I think you’re courting death!” Jiluo Fu and Tumu Chuan charged out at the same time, flames burning on their bodies as they charged towards Wu Kunhu! Two against one! Su Wen finally saw Wu Kunhu ferociousness. In the face of two tall and powerful Barbarians, his spear danced wildly and he was actually able to suppress them!
However, Su Wen could also tell that this was all Wu Kunhu could do!
It couldn’t be helped. The two opponents weren’t weak either.
Not to mention others, Su Wen, who had experienced the terror of Tumu Chuan, knew very well that if he were to fight Tumu Chuan right now, even if he were to use all his methods, he would still be more likely to lose than to win!
Amidst the chaos, Su Wen moved. He held a long saber in his hand and his eyes were filled with killing intent!
He charged straight in!
Puchi!
He chopped off the head of a Fire Barbarian in one move. Then, Su Wen saw that many of these people had activated the fire elemental True Qi in their bodies!
He let out a long laugh as he stepped onto the Extreme Yang Star! “Nine Waves Return to Origin!” The huge Saber Qis appeared once again. A huge divine flame was attached to the surface of the Saber Qi as it shot out!
Pa!
The Saber Qi flew into the crowd of Fire Barbarians. Suddenly, it exploded in all directions, and the Holy Flames spread! Once the holy flames that flew out touched the flames of the barbarians, they would begin to immediately devour them! It resulted in an even stronger Holy Flame erupting and devouring more barbarians. The weapon of flames in the hands of the Barbarians had turned into a life-threatening curse!
“Ah!”
“Help!”
“Don’t activate your Fire Energy! Don’t activate the Fire Energy!” The Fire Barbarians howled in pain! All the Barbarians who saw this scene were filled with fear, and they quickly dodging the Holy Flames as much as possible.
However, the boost they provided to Su Wen was not high.
It couldn’t be helped, since the battlefield was too chaotic. With over a hundred thousand people fighting, how could they distinguish who sent out this attack?
How far could one even see? There were people fighting everywhere! Although the Fire Barbarians had been ambushed, they were not completely defeated! However, Su Wen had already torn a hole in the front line, and many Barbarians did not dare to activate their flames any longer. “Hahaha!” Su Wen held his saber and laughed maniacally. He charged into the crowd and slashed at anyone he saw! As both sides were fighting, another group of people arrived from the other side! It was the human rebel army led by Xu Qiao! He had seen the flames soaring into the sky and came to rescue them!
After the incident with Su Wen where he shook their morale, many of Xu Qiao’s subordinates had taken the chance and escaped. Towards this, Xu Qiao could not do anything either.
Not to mention anything else… Just along the way here, countless people had left the team in the dark.
After all, not everyone was willing to attack their own race!
However, Xu Qiao did not know where Su Wen was!
Attacking in the night was a completely chaotic affair!
“Kill!”
Xu Qiao led his men into the formation and engaged the Great Zhou army in battle! Meanwhile, Su Wen stepped on his Star Positions. With a body wreathed in Holy Flames, he illuminated the dark night as he attacked left and right in the battle formation! Suddenly, another person appeared in front of him.
Without another word, the tall barbarian slashed down with his saber! “8th Grade Earth Rank!”
Su Wen instantly made his judgement! Ding!
With a metallic sound, the two sabers clashed!
Su Wen then flicked out his finger. A golden energy that was as thick as a steel needle flew out from Su Wen’s finger!
Bang! Another explosion unfolded. It was the same Sunburst Spirit Finger, but Su Wen’s control over his power was much higher than the one he used that day! The Qi force was now thinner, however the resulting explosion and power was stronger! The holy flames had yet to disperse when Su Wen let out a loud roar and slashed down with his saber, releasing another Nine Waves Return to Origin! The 8th Grade Earth Rank martial artist was instantly split into two sections! Those without a Heaven Rank cultivation technique could hardly be considered opponents in front of Su Wen. “Hahaha!” Su Wen stepped into the Cyclone Star Position, boosting his Qi regeneration, before turning around to attack the others! With the augmentation from Stellar Transposition coupled with the military formation, Su Wen could use his True Qi even more freely! He slashed again and again! His entire body was covered in blood from the barbarians!
As the Blood Fiend buff repeatedly stacked on his body, his battle prowess increased. However, this scene was only happening on Su Wen’s line. As for the other areas, it was practically a battle to the death for both sides.
That was because the Barbarians were much stronger than ordinary people! “Crrrkt!”
A warrior’s brain was smashed into pieces by a barbarian!
Seeing this, Yan Luoying did not rush forward. Instead, she loudly commanded her subordinates. After all, not everyone was good at rushing headlong into battle. What she needed to do was help divert the pressure on the main battlefield.
Compared to throw oneself inside the battle due to being greedy for merit, this was the more rational choice.
At this moment, Yan Luoying suddenly realized that another human army had appeared from the side. She hurriedly commanded the soldiers to defend!
This person was none other than Xu Longze!
When he saw Yan Luoying, he started laughing hysterically!
“Hahaha! You b*tch! Su Wen killed my entire family, so I’ll kill his wife first!” “Kill!”
He led the army and charged forward!
He charged forward, keeping his sights locked towards Yan Luoying.
He was overflowing with hate right now!
Yan Luoying glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, but remained unmoved.
She only took out a loudspeaker…
This was given to her by Su Wen.
Generally speaking, most of the time during the day, flag language was used.
But at night, especially after the fighting started , commanding would become the biggest problem in cold weapons warfare.
This applied especially towards generals who were not as skilled nor as familiar with their
men.
Take Yan Luoying for example. With her cultivation level, even if she shouted loudly, the effect would be rather mediocre in this chaotic battle.
But now… Yan Luoying shouted into the loudspeaker.
“Zhao Hu, lead your men towards the Middle!”
“Gongsun Zhi, there’s no need to chase. Stay close to me!”
“Liu Sanhai, continue to press forward. We cannot lose our defensive line!”
She only cared about commanding the troops and did not care about Xu Longze.
Meanwhile, Xu Longze was currently surrounded by Yan Luoying’s men!
Kill!
His arms were already feeling sore from all the
killing.
However, he still could not get close to Yan Luoying As for Yan Luoying, while commanding the soldiers to defend against the barbarians, she had unknowingly managed to sway the soldiers on the opposing end! Many of these people weren’t willing to fight against their own race in the first place, and as they fought, more and more took the chance to flee and surrender.
Yan Luoying looked at Xu Longze and said in a low voice, “Your brother can’t beat my husband, and you’re not my match. Everyone, listen up. Kill the traitors of the Great Zhou!”
At Yan Luoying’s command, the soldiers began to attack Xu Longze desperately. At this moment, Xu Longze had lost his initial arrogance! “Who dares to kill my son? Yan Luoying! Hand over your life!”
With a loud shout, they saw Xu Qiao charging over at an extremely fast speed!
Yan Luoying was shocked. Xu Qiao was a famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His skills definitely had some fame to them!
She was definitely not his match!
At this moment, Old Zhou, who had been standing beside Yan Luoying, stepped forward.
At the root, his role was to serve as Yan Luoying’s bodyguard!
He said in a low voice, “I’ll stop him!”
Just as he finished speaking, another group of soldiers charged out in the night!
It was Wu Lie! He laughed uproariously as he boomed out, “Xu Qiao, my father has ordered me to wait for a long time for you! Old fool, die!”
