Chapter 1054
Chapter 1054
Within the jungle, these birds of prey and wild beasts can fully utilize their familiarity with the terrain, along with the traps they have set, to launch effective and precise attacks against any adversaries who invade this area.
If they encounter a fierce fire, Miao Yan and her clansmen will drive these birds of prey and wild beasts to the back of the Valley of Beasts, or even gather strength for a future grand plan...
Xu Shan's invasion of Hundred Beast Valley might actually encounter layers of resistance.
But now?
He deliberately placed the catapult, kerosene, and poison gas bombs in conspicuous locations.
They created the illusion for Shi Qianhua and his men that once they broke through the front lines, they could destroy everything. This was a way to lure the enemy into a trap.
Without these jungles as cover, these so-called birds of prey and wild beasts are nothing more than moving live targets in Xu Shan's eyes.
'Roar! '
"Chiu..."
The wild beasts and birds of prey that rushed out of Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge must have been acting on the orders of their masters.
The moment he rushed out, his bloodshot eyes locked onto Xu Shan and the other commanders.
Having keenly observed these movements, Zhang Liansong and his group drew their blades with a 'whoosh'.
With piercing eyes, he growled, "Defend against the enemy."
'Shuh! '
As they spoke, they all crowded around Xu Shan.
"First and second squads of archers, prepare!"
Wang Qinian, who was commanding the front lines, immediately issued orders.
Although Xu Shan's "Mind-Calming Mantra" calmed their minds, the Jiangzhou garrison still harbored fear towards these ferocious birds and beasts.
Many people's bodies trembled slightly with the resonant sound of their rushing movement.
'beep……'
Just then, a faint whistle came from the jungle again.
This low-decibel whistle is difficult for the human ear to detect, especially when thousands of animals are stampeding, making it even harder for people to hear.
However, this can be keenly observed by these birds of prey and wild beasts, who then use it to command them.
At that moment, Xu Da Guan Ren, who had carefully examined the matter, suddenly opened his eyes.
"The fox's tail is showing."
'bass! ’
Xu Shan, who was originally surrounded by Zhang Liansong and his group, suddenly jumped up.
As he soared into the air toward the edge of the jungle, the birds of prey and some wild animals that had been sniping at Xushan, driven by the animal-driving whistles, either swooped down like eagles or leaped up to pounce on their targets.
"Even celestial beings cannot defeat this imperial envoy."
"Driving a bunch of animals around, causing trouble here?"
"Are you courting death?"
'Roar! '
Looking at these birds of prey and wild beasts even for a second would be disrespectful to Xu Shan.
The moment he activated his aura, nine scarlet dragon bodies coiled around him, accompanied by a piercing dragon roar.
'Woo woo.'
In that instant, the wild beasts and birds of prey that had just been so fierce instantly became like mice seeing a cat, hiding their claws and trembling there.
'Snap, snap.'
With one foot on the head of a wild beast and then using the body of a raptor to leap over it a second time, Xu Shan instantly appeared in the sky above the Wanshouling jungle.
'puff. '
The wild beasts and birds of prey that he touched with his toes instantly coughed up blood and fell to the ground.
'bass.'
Almost in that instant, Xu Shan drew his sword and slashed down into the jungle.
"Want to run?"
"Once I've locked onto you, do you think you can escape?"
'boom.'
Before he could finish speaking, he swung his sword down.
Immediately afterwards, a scarlet blade of energy surged and slashed into the depths of the jungle.
……
Miao Yan, who personally led her people and commanded the flock of birds of prey and wild beasts, decided to kill Xu Shan once she confirmed that he was right in front of the battle lines and was advancing at an unprecedented speed.
She had plotted to kill her husband, her only son, and all the elders of the Valley of Beasts.
Furthermore, this time he used a despicable fire attack, intending to burn Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge completely into a barren wasteland...
Fueled by both old and new grudges, she immediately adjusted her strategy.
Using animal-driving whistles, they commanded most of the birds of prey and wild beasts to rush towards them.
However, to her utter surprise, because she blew the beast-driving whistle again, the other party was able to pinpoint her location from hundreds of meters away.
Furthermore, the power of her true soul firmly restrained her path.
"Oh no, we've been caught."
"Back off, back off quickly!"
"Don't let them lock onto you."
'boom.'
As she said this, Miao Yan, with all her strength at her command, tried to break free from this restraint.
However, before she could finish speaking, that scarlet energy surged towards her like a tidal wave.
"Protect the lady."
'bass.'
'boom. ’
Those clansmen who tried to stand in front of Miao Yan and block the blade's force were cut in two the moment they came into contact with it.
The pungent smell of blood and the blood mist that filled the air had not yet completely dissipated.
The second and third place winners... the clansmen who stepped forward to block the blade's force for Miao Yan all erupted in chaos.
"General Zhang, save him..."
'boom.'
Before Miao Yan could finish her terrified cry of "Save me," the blade force, which even Hong Qiweng, a ninth-grade Grand Perfection cultivator, dared not withstand head-on, directly shattered her body.
Upon witnessing this scene, Zhang Hai and his cavalry, who were preparing to follow the flock of raptors and beasts and charge into the enemy camp, were instantly stunned and frozen for several seconds.
Immediately afterwards, he growled in a panic, "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
"withdraw?"
"Now that you've all shown yourselves up, do you think you can retreat?"
"Swish!"
Following closely behind Xu Shan, Zhang Liansong and his men rushed into the jungle and charged towards the group of rebels with lightning speed.
At the same time, the birds of prey and wild beasts in front of the battle were also shot down from a distance by archers and crossbowmen under Wang Qinian's command.
Shi Qianhua, who was hundreds of meters away and ready to provide support at any moment, learned that Miao Yan had been killed by Xu Shan with a single blow, and that Zhang Hai's troops had been chased and hacked down by his own Imperial Guards...
Without any hesitation, he turned his horse around and shouted, "Retreat!"
"quick."
Zhang Hai, who was hoping that Shi Qianhua could share the burden, was so angry he wanted to curse when he saw them running faster than rabbits.
But now, after being entangled by Zhang Liansong and his Imperial Guards, their movements are slow and their troops are rapidly losing manpower.
"Stop him! Stop them!"
'bass.'
'Pfft. '
Zhang Hai, who was directing the cavalry around him to intercept the relentlessly pursuing Imperial Guards, had just finished speaking these words...
A dark figure brushed past him from the side!
The next second, his body was completely frozen in place, his pupils dilating continuously.
Before Zhang Hai could even lower his head, his head and body were instantly severed in two!
"what……"
This sudden turn of events caused the already demoralized rebel cavalry to scream in terror.
Especially when they saw that the one who blocked their retreat and killed their commander with a single blow was none other than Xu Shan, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, they all dismounted, knelt down and said, "Xu, Imperial Envoy Xu, we surrender."
