Chapter 2092: Irresistible
The intense battlefield immediately calmed down. Everyone present looked in that direction.
Many Fiend soldiers were confused. What was going on here? Just now, the Blackhair Bat had been cackling like a big shot, and yet it had ended up like this just a second later! More importantly, what was that dazzling thing? It felt as if a meteorite had crashed down from above and smashed the bat to death. Wasn’t it just too unlucky?
Suddenly, the Blackhair Bat’s giant wings twitched a few times, as if it was preparing to get up again. However, its head was nailed to the ground by the sword. It failed even after trying several times.
Xie Daoyun and the others were stunned. This thing isn't dead even now? This bat’s survival ability is actually this ridiculous? What if it really breaks free...
A figure then descended from the sky. The tip of his feet tapped against the sword hilt, and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The Blackhair Bat could no longer utter another sound.
“Big brother Zu!” both Xie Daoyun and Murong Qinghe shouted at the same time when they saw who it was. They were extremely happy to see him.
Xie Xiu also released a huge sigh of relief when he was saved from danger. When he saw Zu An and the looks in the young women's eyes, he mumbled to himself, “He really is damned handsome. I guess I’ll just have to let him have this one.”
Zu An nodded slightly and smiled toward them. After managing to guess the Second Prince’s plans, he hadn’t hesitated, and immediately rushed south. After all, these reinforcements had only been sent by the human side to give him face. If they really were wiped out in the Fiend races' territory, the two sides would really have no hope of reconciliation left. The resulting war would create a sea of corpses, and the undercover monsters would be given a chance to turn things around. The more slaughter and bloodshed there was, the easier it would be for the monsters to propagate. As such, he practically hadn't stopped at all, heading straight in this direction at full speed.
The Second Empress and Yu Yanluo understood the severity of the matter. Even though they had been sad to see him go, they worried that they would hold him back and chose not to travel with him. In contrast, Jing Teng insisted on sticking to him. There were eveb several times when Dark Jing Teng nagged at him about her ‘reward’ along the way.
Even though Zu An was a bit shaken up when he thought about the sisters’ special relationship, he knew how pressing the situation was. After doing his best, he managed to persuade Dark Jing Teng to delay for a few days and return to sleep in the jade coffin. Only then did he hurry over as quickly as he could. He sensed the battle as soon as he got near, and thus was able to save Xie Xiu at the last second.
“Re... Regent!” There were individuals among the Fiend soldiers who also recognized Zu An. They immediately panicked.
A general in black armor shouted, “What are you scared of? No matter how formidable he is, he's only one person. We're an entire army. Are you all cowards?!”
Zu An looked up and saw that everything within a range of several kilometers was surrounded by a formation. A military banner was faintly visible at the center.
It was a classic military formation. With it active, all of the soldiers inside would not only become as one entity, cooperating in their attacks and sharing the burden of defense; it would also greatly increase every individual soldier’s attack, defense, and speed. Furthermore, the enemy would experience all kinds of disadvantages. That was why the cultivators of this world still feared armies. In particular, if one was surrounded, unless one happened to be strong enough, what awaited would be almost certain death.
“So it was the Second Prince’s personal army.” Zu An sneered when he saw the markings on the military banner.
When the black-armored general saw that many of his soldiers were still scared, he roared, “Don’t tell me that you've all forgotten who it was that forced us to fight to the death in the sealed land, all the way until we bled our last?!”
The soldiers’ eyes reddened when they heard that. After all, they were the Second Prince’s trusted aides. They were supposed to have enjoyed tremendous benefits and been promoted to nobility. They would then have had beautiful wives and reached the pinnacle of their lives. And yet, because of Zu An’s sudden appearance and his single-handed support of the young prince onto the throne, they'd become a rebel army overnight! Then, they'd been sent to the sealed land to fight against the alien monsters, with no home or return in sight. It was clear that the King Court planned to use them until they all fought to the death.
“Kill him, and we can once more return to the King Court.”
“We don’t want to be a rebel army anymore!”
The soldiers’ eyes reddened. They raised their shields and spears, then began tightening their encirclement one step after another. They intended to use the advantage of an army to wear the enemy down to death within their ranks.
Xie Xiu, Xie Daoyun, and Murong Qinghe quickly supported the Qin brothers and moved closer to Zu An. Against a murderous army that surrounded them completely, many of their usual skills became useless.
Xie Daoyun took out a talisman and was about to forcibly activate it when Zu An suddenly took her hand, saying, “Your cultivation isn't high enough yet. Forcefully using Sun En’s talismans will cause irreversible damage to your mind. Just leave this place to me.”
When she heard that warm voice and felt that warm hand, Xie Daoyun blushed and she said quietly, “Okay.”
When Xie Xiu saw his big sister’s bashful appearance, he thought to himself, It’s over, it’s over! My big sister has already been completely captured! Why do I feel as if I’m really taking a loss here?
Why doesn’t that bastard Zu An have any sisters?! Dammit!
You have successfully trolled Xie Xiu for +5 +5 +5...
...
When he saw the soldiers approach closer and closer, Zu An said gravely, “Out of consideration for the possibility that the Second Prince poisoned your minds, if you surrender now, I can still give you all a chance.”
“Don’t listen to his flowery nonsense!” This time, it wasn’t the black-armored general who spoke, but rather many soldiers shouting in righteous indignation.
When he saw their eyes filled with hatred and the endless Rage points flowing in, Zu An sighed. Countless gatling guns appeared around him.
“What are those?” the soldiers wondered in confusion, but they found out a second later.
Every single gatling gun spat out blue tongues of flame. The shields the soldiers bore were instantly ripped to shreds like paper. Then, rows after rows of soldiers continuously fell. These gatling guns weren't too useful against the strongest individuals, but against such soldiers, they tore through the rebels like a scythe through wheat. After all,ven though the military shields could block some bullets, they couldn't withstand the countless gatling guns Zu An prepared. The sheer number of bullets was already enough to turn the tide.
Some soldiers tried to mount a counterattack, but they were soon blown to pieces by even more bullets. Eventually, the remaining soldiers finally broke down and fled in all directions.
Zu An knew that the casualties in the sealed land were all because of the Second Prince and these subordinates, and that if he let them incite disharmony between the two sides again, countless lives could be lost. Thus, he didn’t show them any mercy. In the end, silence fell, and the smell of blood saturated the air.
Murong Qinghe was more or less alright, since she was already used to similar things. However, the Xie siblings’ faces turned pale. In the end, they ran off to the side and vomited. It was clear that many years of life in a distinguished family had prevented them from experiencing intense situations like this.
Xie Daoyun was the first one to recover. She had experienced many things with Zu An before, after all. She said, “Let’s hurry back to the main camp. Their main forces aren't actually here!”
Zu An examined the Qin brothers’ conditions. When he saw that even though they were severely injured, there was no threat to their lives, he gave them some medicines before saying to Xie Daoyun and Murong Qinghe, “Please lead the way. Brother Xiu, I’ll be leaving the Qin brothers to you.”
He was about to have Murong Qinghe show him the way, but when he saw how pale Xie Daoyun’s face was, he knew that leaving her here would be too cruel. That was why he decided to bring her with him.
When they saw Zu An take one young woman in each arm and fly into the sky, Xie Xiu and the wounded Qin brothers looked at each other in dismay. In the end, they all said at the same time, “Hoes before bros!”
Xie Xiu gave the Qin brothers an annoyed look and asked, “Hey, you're his brothers-in-law, aren't you? How can you not keep an eye on him when he’s womanizing at all?”
The Qin brothers retorted with darkened faces, “You’re not far off from being a brother-in-law yourself. Why aren’t you doing a thing?”
Xie Xiu was speechless.
...
Meanwhile, in the humans’ main camp, outside a glamorous tent, several Fox race soldiers stopped an elder from moving closer. They said, “King, the country lord has already turned in for rest.”
The elder was naturally King Liang. After being bothered by the Qin clan’s two little bastards, he'd been really pissed off. He couldn't help but recall Bluefield Country Lord’s beauty and couldn't fall asleep, so he'd decided to just seek her out. However, in the end, the other side stopped him and refused to meet him.
These Fox race soldiers were all women, and they were all outstanding beauties by the standards of the human world. The guards behind King Liang were all enamored.
These fox girls really are hot! The military uniforms they’re wearing can’t cover up their incredible bodies! If I can get with one of them, I wonder just how amazing it’ll feel!
Normally, if King Liang experienced this kind of treatment, he would have already flipped out. But when he thought about how beautiful Tushan Yu was, his temper became much better than usual. He said, “Please contact your country lord and tell her that this king has some pressing military intelligence that I need to discuss with her.”
“Please do not trouble us, respected king,” the fox soldiers said, unconvinced. The scorn in their eyes was very clear. As fox women, they understood the thoughts of men the most.
Does this old pervert really think we don’t know what he's thinking?
King Liang finally couldn't take it anymore. He glowered, saying, “This matter is related to the friendship of our two sides. A single mistake could cause arms to be raised between both sides. Can you two handle such a consequence?”
After saying that, he tried to barge straight in. The fox ladies quickly tried to stop him, but King Liang’s guards also used the chance to move forward and take advantage of them.
The two sides were about to break out into a dispute when a gentle and lovely voice called out, “What's happening here?”
Immediately after, a graceful figure walked over. It was none other than Bluefield Country Lord Tushan Yu.
The eyes of King Liang and the others immediately widened. They saw how fair and slender her neck was, and how tall she was. She looked as if she was almost glowing, making those present feel inferior. And yet, there was a provocative smile in her expression that immediately made them feel closer to her, as if she could be easily obtained. When they saw her sensuous chest, incredible waist, and moving skirt that seemed to reveal something yet didn’t reveal anything, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
She really was an incredibly irresistible woman! Anyone who saw her would immediately think of taking her to bed.
