“Lad, this old man truly has to admire you. Brains and bravery in equal measure, you have convinced this old man utterly. However, you seem to have forgotten that in front of this old man, your bit of strength is simply not enough to watch!”
Timur Mutu ignored the incoming thunderbolt bombs and leapt into the air above the canyon. Capture the king first; as long as Ling Xiao was killed, this battle would naturally end.
“Mutu, you old scoundrel, Supervisor Ling calculates without omission. How could he fail to predict your old dog’s thoughts?”
In mid-air, Feng Qingyan and Lü Chenglong suddenly appeared, blocking Mutu’s path.
“Were you two not locked up?”
Mutu was stunned for a moment, and his speed dropped.
“Hehe, although you left fifty thousand soldiers in the camp to guard us, it is a pity. You can send people to infiltrate Beimo City, so why can I not?”
Ling Xiao smiled faintly.
While the bitter meat ploy, catching a turtle in a jar, and ambushes from ten sides were being executed, the hidden assassins who had long mixed into the Black Crow Empire’s army also took action.
Their task was naturally to rescue Feng Qingyan, Lü Chenglong, and the others.
“Impressive, truly impressive! So young, yet so astute. This old man really underestimated you. But do you think these two wastes can stop me?”
Although Mutu was shocked in his heart by Ling Xiao’s cunning, at this moment he instead became calmer.
Because thinking too much was useless now. The only chance to turn the battle around was to kill Ling Xiao!
Or capture him alive!
Feng Qingyan’s strength was inferior to his. According to his estimation, he should be able to take him down within a hundred moves.
Lü Chenglong was even less worth mentioning.
During this time, the number of soldiers killed or wounded no longer mattered. As long as victory was achieved in the end, even becoming a commander without troops would be fine.
But Ling Xiao’s expression remained calm.
It was impossible to tell what this lad was thinking.
At this time, the Black Crow army, despite their large numbers, were nothing but leeks waiting to be harvested, with little fighting power left.
Chaos!
Panic!
Had become the main theme of the Black Crow army.
And among these people, several hundred Black Crow knights protected Jiumo Zhiyan as he charged and killed continuously, attempting to break through the encirclement.
These were Jiumo Zhiyan’s personal guards.
Each of their strengths was above the Six Arts Heaven cultivation, with the strongest reaching the Cave Heaven realm.
In the process of charging and killing, whether friend or foe from Beimo army, they would coldly kill them, just to carve a bloody path for Jiumo Zhiyan.
Finally, they broke out of the encirclement.
But they also left behind more than a hundred lives, with three hundred remaining.
Jiumo Zhiyan watched with heartache. After all, these were people he had personally trained to seize power, all the most loyal. He would feel pain at the death of even one, let alone more than a hundred.
“Ling Xiao, I will definitely kill you!”
Jiumo Zhiyan knew he could not cry, nor could he stop. In this great battle, he had thoroughly lost.
Lost without any suspense.
But he could not die. As long as he lived, there would be a chance for revenge.
“Stay behind, little prince!”
Jiumo Zhiyan heard a voice like that of a devil.
Although this voice actually sounded beautiful and pleasant, to him, it was like the voice of a devil.
Leng Mei stood there, holding a sword in one hand, coldly scrutinising Jiumo Zhiyan.
At this time, Leng Mei was fully displaying the strength of the Cave Heaven realm, even though this would cost her greatly, but in this battle, she had to do so.
“You take the little prince and go. I will stop this woman!”
A personal guard of the First Cave Heaven shouted as he charged towards Leng Mei.
However, a cold light flashed, and his head instantly fell to the ground.
Plum blossoms danced, and of the remaining more than three hundred personal guards, more than a dozen died instantly.
Under Leng Mei’s hand, there was never such a thing as showing mercy. Anyone attacked by her would surely die.
Jiumo Zhiyan knew he was no match for this woman. He had to run!
“Little prince, no need to fear. This general is here to save you!”
Just as Leng Mei approached Jiumo Zhiyan step by step, a general riding a Black Crow beast appeared.
He held two large hammers in his hands, with cultivation reaching half-step Yin-Yang.
In the Black Crow army, it was not only Mutu who was an expert.
Of course, there was only one Yin-Yang realm expert, Mutu, but there were plenty of other experts.
“Thank you, general!”
Jiumo Zhiyan wiped his cold sweat, then left under the escort of his personal guards.
Above the canyon, Ling Xiao sighed helplessly.
No matter how brilliant the strategy, it ultimately had to be supported by strength.
If his strength reached Mutu’s level, then this strategy would absolutely achieve the most perfect effect.
Not only would Jiumo Zhiyan die, Timur Mutu would not live either.
But now, not only did he have to watch Jiumo Zhiyan escape with his own eyes, he also had to face the threat from Mutu.
Lü Chenglong was sent flying by a palm from Mutu, his life or death unknown.
Feng Qingyan also looked ugly, spitting blood from his mouth, clearly unable to hold on.
“Ling Xiao, hand over your life! After killing you, I will kill all of you, let you know how foolish it is to be enemies with our Black Crow Empire!”
For Mutu, at this time, strategy was not as useful as strength.
In his eyes, Ling Xiao, the nightmare in the hearts of the Black Crow army, was now worthless. He could just reach out lightly and pinch this lad to death.
Watching Feng Qingyan desperately resisting Mutu, Ling Xiao said calmly, “Vice Dean Feng, step aside. To die at the hands of the famous Black Crow God Marshal Timur Mutu, I can consider it worthwhile, enough to go down in history.”
Feng Qingyan did not understand why Ling Xiao was doing this, but out of trust in Ling Xiao, he still stepped aside.
But by stepping aside, it made Mutu dare not attack.
“What’s wrong, Senior Mutu, I am standing here. You can easily pinch me to death. Hurry and make your move.”
On Ling Xiao’s face, the smile remained.
The more it was like this, the less Mutu dared to advance. He vigilantly scanned the surroundings, fearing an ambush.
Although he had defeated Lü Chenglong and Feng Qingyan, he was also injured, though not seriously, but his combat power had inevitably declined.
And this lad Ling Xiao was full of tricks. Who knew if it was a trap?
He had suffered several losses from Ling Xiao today, so caution was inevitable.
“Humph, lad, you want this old man to fall for it? No chance! This time I will let you off for now. Next time this old man meets you, I will definitely tear you into pieces!”
After hesitating for a long time, Timur Mutu actually turned and left! To chase Jiumo Zhiyan!
Cold sweat finally dripped from Ling Xiao’s forehead.
He had used the empty city stratagem on himself.
If Timur Mutu really attacked, the only thing he could do was risk his life in battle, even if it meant dying, to severely injure Mutu.
But that was the worst plan.
Fortunately, the strategy succeeded.
The old and cunning Timur Mutu, having fallen for Ling Xiao’s strategies several times, no longer had the courage.
“Good lad, truly impressive. You could even scare that old fellow away!”
Feng Qingyan looked at Ling Xiao in astonishment and said.
