Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1216 Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl
"General Yue is truly a divine being!"
Xu Shu, who was watching the battle, sighed. Yue Fei's command was too timely, like a perfectly coordinated machine, with each step linked together without leaving a single flaw.
By the time the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Ma Chao's main force was watching from one side, ready to pounce and crush the Yiren Legion the moment they began to retreat. Meanwhile, the wolf riders had already quietly arrived, waiting for orders to rush in and tear the Yiren Legion apart.
"Send the Undead Legion over there to hold the line!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden realized her mistake. Although she didn't care about cannon fodder, she only had this many troops at her disposal. If she could replace the Beiwei Army, it would be worth it.
But the current situation is not what she wanted to see.
If she doesn't get command of the Undead Soldiers, she'll be left with no one to command.
After thinking it over, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden instructed Qingluan to find Grand Minister Junya, wanting the Undying Soldiers to form a defensive line to cover the retreat of those supernatural beings.
Junya frowned, but still mobilized 10,000 immortal soldiers to provide support as requested by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
"The Beiwei Army is retreating and preparing to disengage from the battlefield!"
Yue Fei glanced at the ravaged army of the supernatural beings and decided not to engage in a deadly battle. The immortal soldiers remained a huge problem for them.
Being able to reap some benefits from the alien army and strengthen the power of the Myriad Soul Banner is already something to be thankful for; there's no need to fight to the death for some remnants.
The Beiwei Army retreated slowly, and Ma Chao's main force, under the cover of the Beiwei cavalry, launched another attack, dealing another heavy blow to the Yiren Legion.
After the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden reorganized the army of supernatural beings, only a little over 10,000 of the original 48,000 remained.
The devastating losses completely robbed these superhumans of their will to fight.
"A bunch of useless trash!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was very dissatisfied with the state of these extraordinary individuals, so she simply reached out and summoned a large number of golden threads to infuse them into their bodies.
"Ahhh~"
Amidst screams, these superhumans began to rapidly transform into monsters resembling wild beasts, almost all of them completely losing their human form.
"This batch is actually quite good quality!" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked at the large creatures among the beast horde with surprise.
During the mutation process, three people's bloodlines actually changed, becoming divine beasts with extremely high bloodline potential. If they are taken back to West Kunlun and nurtured, they can become divine beasts at the realm-breaking level.
Compared to the demonic beasts annihilated by Gan Ning and Pang Tong, the true strength of West Kunlun lies in the divine beasts directly under the jurisdiction of the Queen Mother of the West.
Meanwhile, Grand Minister Junya received a report from the scouts.
"Grand Minister, Lady Xuan Nu has turned all those extraordinary people into demonic beasts!"
The scouts were somewhat apprehensive. For them, death was not something to be feared, but the thought of turning into a mindless monster was chilling.
If they can't even maintain their human form, then for these immortals, it's practically the beginning of madness.
This is why most of the immortal soldiers retain their complete human form, and those with supernatural characteristics cannot join them.
People need something to hold onto, and the only anchor that sustained them in their immortality as they fought for the Zhou emperor was the thought that sustained them in their conquests.
Their only thought is their human identity.
"Ignore them, they're just some lowly supernatural beings! You are all the Zhou Emperor's personal guards, and with the Zhou Emperor's favor, even the Mysterious Maiden can't do anything to you!"
Junya said coldly that the extraordinary people in the Great Zhou were only fourth-class citizens, and even if these extraordinary soldiers had the status of warriors, they were only third-class citizens.
If someone dies, they die. There's nothing to worry about.
Moreover, they had only become demons and could still contribute to the Great Zhou. Junya felt no pressure whatsoever and even wanted to applaud.
He was well aware of the combat power after demonization; it was an almost leapfrog growth. With the assistance of the Celestials, these demons could be of great use.
Junya even complained in his heart that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden hadn't used the demon transformation technique sooner, wasting so many extraordinary people.
However, he only thought these things in his heart and dared not say them out loud.
Today, the Zhou Dynasty takes the Zhou Emperor as its ancestor, but it generally worships the Queen Mother of the West and takes pride in entering Kunlun in the west to seek immortality and enlightenment.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady held a position in the Great Zhou Dynasty almost equivalent to that of the Imperial Preceptor, ranking below the Zhou Emperor and above all the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty.
No matter what the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden does, it is not up to Grand Minister Junya to criticize her.
The piercing screams gradually drowned out the sounds of clashing weapons.
After being bound by golden threads, the more than 10,000 supernatural beings completely lost their human form, their sharp claws and fangs sprouted, their bodies bulged and swollen, transforming into ferocious and monstrous beasts with hideous faces, their turbid pupils filled only with bloodthirsty instincts.
The three giant beasts that had managed to awaken the bloodline of divine beasts stood out from the crowd, their bodies radiating a powerful aura, and their four hooves trembled slightly when they stomped on the ground, their imposing presence awe-inspiring.
"The three of you stay here. The rest of the demonic beasts, form a battle formation and advance with the main force to attack the enemy lines!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden left behind three giant beasts with divine beast bloodlines and sent out all the other demonic beasts at once.
For Kunlun, demonic beasts were just consumables, so even though the aerial fleet annihilated three hundred demonic beasts, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden showed no emotion.
These things are consumables. If they are alive, they will be kept alive. If they die, it can be considered as contributing to Kunlun.
Roars rose and fell, and tens of thousands of demonic beasts displayed their abilities, rushing towards the Beiwei Army amidst the demonic winds.
The ten thousand undead soldiers lined up at the front looked at the surging monsters with a hint of contempt in their eyes, but they still obeyed orders and steadily advanced, forcibly building a cold defensive line that echoed the monster horde from the front and back.
Xinghan witnessed this entire scene. Xu Shu's brows furrowed suddenly, and he turned to look at Yue Fei, who stood calmly beside him:
"General, these monsters must be remnants of the previous army. Such cruel methods probably indicate another motive!"
Yue Fei nodded slightly, his fingertips gently stroking the command flag in his hand.
"The mind of God is unfathomable!"
Gazing at the surging tide of beasts and the undead army, Yue Fei was momentarily unsure of what the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden truly meant.
However, since the opponent has made a move, he will simply respond accordingly.
"No need to linger in battle, nor to turn back for a direct confrontation." Yue Fei ordered in a deep voice, "The Beiwei Army should accelerate its retreat, while Ma Chao's troops and the Wolf Cavalry should flank and harass from both sides!"
"The Undying Soldiers are ultimately just infantry; they can't keep up with the speed. As long as we keep the demonic beasts occupied, we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"
Once the order was given, the Beiwei Army, which had been slowly retreating, began to accelerate. Ma Chao led his iron cavalry and suddenly charged out, using the speed to rush into the monster formation and unleash a round of slashing attacks. Before the monsters could surround and tear them apart, he immediately withdrew and fled far away.
On the other side, the wolf riders drew their large yellow bows, and all of them unleashed a hail of arrows at the monster army in the instant of their high-speed movement.
The wolf riders were truly all-rounders, excelling in both ranged and melee combat. The instant the wolf riders raised their large yellow bows, nocked an arrow, and their horses' hooves sank into the air, all the drawn bowstrings naturally twisted slightly. The next instant, the wolf riders' arrows, whistling through the air, shot towards the demonic beast without the slightest curve.
Almost instantly, the monster was fatally struck head-on. The arrow, which didn't seem to be very powerful, was actually able to penetrate the huge monster.
"Our arrows are enhanced."
The wolf rider unleashed a flurry of arrows, coldly watching the fallen monsters opposite him. Then, with a sudden thrust, he accelerated to nearly a third the speed of the swift white horse, drifting laterally as a rain of arrows burst forth.
Large numbers of demonic beasts collapsed during the charge.
Driven mad, they were relentlessly worn down by Ma Chao's main force and the wolf cavalry in a tug-of-war manner.
Although the monsters had greatly increased in strength, they had no strategy or method. They were thrown into chaos by this hit-and-run tactics and were being held up like kites.
The undead soldiers in the rear were powerless to stop them, as both the monsters and the cavalry were much faster.
Upon seeing this, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's brows furrowed with anger, and she immediately urged her three bloodline divine beasts to step forward.
The three colossal beasts charged ahead, kicking up dust as they rampaged, their massive bodies smashing through the enemy lines and knocking over any monsters in their path, heading straight for the Beiwei Army.
The archers, who were prepared, stepped forward, drew their bows, and unleashed a rain of arrows.
Arrows rained down like a curtain, and ordinary monsters fell to the ground in droves. However, the three-headed divine beast had a strong body and scales protecting it. The arrows only left shallow marks and could not harm it at all. It continued to press forward step by step.
"Arrogant!" Gao Chong and Yue Yun rushed out in anger, directly confronting the bloodline divine beast in front of them.
"Die!" Yue Yun roared, the spirit of the Beiwei Army energies empowering him, and he unleashed a portion of his inner energy.
The sledgehammer in his hand crashed down, striking the head of the bloodline beast like a meteorite impact.
The mythical beast, resembling an elephant, had its head smashed by a violent blow, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
On the other side, Gao Chong also mobilized a large army, and his dozens of meters long spears knocked down the charging wild boar beast, killing it on the spot with a single spear thrust.
The remaining winged tiger was targeted by Ma Chao.
"Hahaha, Flying Bear, today I will kill you to uphold the might of my Liangzhou Iron Cavalry!"
Ma Chao laughed wildly, pouring all his spiritual energy into his spear, causing violent thunder to roar wildly.
The man and his horse transformed into a shooting star, piercing straight through the winged tiger's body.
The three-headed divine beast was almost instantly killed when facing the three fierce generals.
The monsters that had finally gained the upper hand instantly plunged into the abyss. Ma Chao's main force and the wolf cavalry were like two blunt knives, frantically cutting the monsters apart.
"It seems to be a blood sacrifice?" Xu Shu pondered for a moment before offering his opinion.
"It should be. There are enough dead monsters, and the land has been stained red!" Pang Tong nodded in agreement.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden didn't intend to demonstrate; she simply wanted to use these demonic beasts to take one last bite before performing a sacrifice to summon more power.
"I won't give her that chance!"
Yue Fei chuckled, grasped the golden thread he had pulled from his body, transformed it into a long spear, and then held it horizontally with one arm.
Let's put an end to everything!
The moment the spear left his hand, the will of the empire twisted it drastically.
As the King of Song, he also possessed the ability to mobilize the will of the empire, albeit only a part of it, but it was enough for Yue Fei.
The power of the divine and spiritual realms breaking through boundaries was revealed from Yue Fei's body. The spear he threw transformed into a golden-winged roc that spread its wings and attacked the direction of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who was preparing for the blood sacrifice, changed her expression drastically. She turned her head and saw a golden-winged roc rushing towards her.
"what?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden drew her sword and slashed at the Golden-Winged Roc. The sword, which was more than ten meters long, fell from the void, but was directly pierced by the Golden-Winged Roc.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden immediately used the Azure Phoenix beneath her feet as a shield.
"boom!"
A firework exploded in mid-air, turning the Azure Phoenix into a bloody mist. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden fell to the ground in a sorry state, her eyes flashing with ferocity as she stared intently in the direction where Yue Fei was.
"I'll remember this grudge!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden turned and left. The blood sacrifice had failed, and she was seriously injured. If she didn't leave, she doubted whether she could even leave this place.
On the other side, Yue Fei calmly withdrew his hand; his infrequent use of force did not mean he was incapable of it.
"General Yue is truly awe-inspiring!" Xu Shu exclaimed once again.
"It's all thanks to the power of the Empire's will!" Yue Fei shook his head. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was not weak; in a real fight, it would be a 50/50 chance.
Unfortunately, this was not her home turf. Yue Fei, who could mobilize the will of the empire, could forcefully suppress 99% of his opponents.
"Although we have achieved some results, we are afraid we will have to return empty-handed this time!" Yue Fei refocused his gaze on the battlefield.
The defeat of the aliens was like a small ripple, failing to affect the overall course of the battlefield.
The Undying Army used resurrection to whittle down most of the Star Han soldiers who were fighting them, and even Ma Chao's most active main force withdrew from the battlefield.
Most of them had completely lost the ability to continue fighting; even if they had the will to fight, their bodies could no longer support them.
Every swing of a weapon produces a recoil, and in such intense combat, everyone is pushing their limits, resulting in a significant decrease in endurance.
This situation occurred repeatedly, forcing large numbers of legions to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner. The Undead Army, seeing this familiar scene, was greatly encouraged.
The pressure on the Xinghan army became even greater, and even the Xiliang cavalry began to withdraw from the battlefield one after another.
The undead army can be resurrected at full strength after death. Even if they just wrestle with the opponent, they will have exhausted a lot of energy and will find it difficult to continue to maintain the battle line.
"Next time, we'll face even greater pressure!"
Chen Gong sighed. Everyone could see that Xinghan's side couldn't hold on any longer, which was why the Undying Army was attacking like madmen.
Even though the death rate of the undead army soared as a result, they still charged forward relentlessly.
"We have gathered enough information, and I will adjust my tactics next time!" Yue Fei said calmly, accepting the fact that they had to retreat.
Despite holding the upper hand throughout, being worn down was not a major blow to Yue Fei. On the contrary, he vaguely found a way to deal with the Undying Army. (End of Chapter)
