Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 193: Return to the Border Encircling Elder Chongwu


"It's not just two; don't forget there's a Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign rushing towards the border."

Xia Feng took a deep breath and couldn't help rubbing his shoulder.

The array of the ten women was withdrawn, and the effect of the Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart also gradually faded, bringing forth the backlash from Xia Feng's two sword strikes just now.

His physical strength was not strong, at most reaching the level of a Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign.

Yet, those two strikes were attacks at the Celestial Tier Sixth Layer, really like an ant trying to move a tree; he was almost exhausted after pulling it off.

"Darling, why don't you take a rest."

The Life Saintess, Xiao Qingxue, felt distressed seeing this and walked up to massage Xia Feng's shoulder with her small, fair hand, simultaneously infusing a stream of cool Life Energy into him.

This made Xia Feng feel much better.

"No, I can't waste too much time."

Xia Feng shook his head: "A little injury doesn't matter, but if we don't reach the border soon, our soldiers might all be crushed by that leading Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign."

"It'll take two days to return from here, rest on the way."

With that said, after stripping the Upper Grade Emperor Artifacts and Storage Rings from the two Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns, Xia Feng immediately leapt off and headed towards the border guarded by the Rizhao Empire's troops.

The ten women followed him swiftly.

By the time Xia Feng and the ten women arrived at the previous border defense line, they found that the Rizhao Empire hadn't yet led troops for an offensive.

"Your Highness, the only remaining Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign, Elder Chongwu, gathered the remnants of the Rizhao Empire the moment he reached the front line, and their numbers have approached seventy to eighty thousand during this time. If you hadn't returned, they might have launched an attack tomorrow."

The Gu Sha Grand General, who was defending the city, immediately reported the situation to Xia Feng.

Upon learning that the other two Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns had been ambushed and killed by Xia Feng and the ten women, the morale in the army soared, and many soldiers were overjoyed.

Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns were like gods to them.

Yet such gods were slain by Xia Feng and his companions.

Two Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns died at the hands of their Prince.

And their Prince was still just an Earth Tier Martial Sovereign.

What of the remaining one?

The news brought by Xia Feng undoubtedly gave these soldiers an extremely strong boost in morale.

"Reorganize the remnants?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Feng furrowed his brows.

Seventy to eighty thousand is not a small number, and as the vanguard of the Great Xia Empire, aside from the troops brought from Spirit City, he only had five thousand reinforcements from other cities.

Combined, the numbers on both sides added up to only a hundred thousand, not to mention that those other fifty thousand troops hadn't undergone cultivation in the Dream Realm Pearl, creating some estrangement with the Gu Sha Army brought out from Spirit City.

"Attacking tomorrow?" Excitement flashed in Xia Feng's eyes, "Can't wait for him; instead of waiting for him to gain momentum tomorrow, why don't we strike first tonight!"

"Prepare the city garrison, and do not move the five thousand reinforcements yet. Bring the Gu Sha Army with me tonight to take down the last Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign of the Rizhao Empire!"

Xia Feng's choice was daring, but it perfectly hit the excitement point of the Gu Sha and other military heroes.

If they could, who would want to fight passive battles all the time?

Xia Feng's style of daring to fight and win every battle was what they loved the most!

Having made the decision, Gu Sha quickly returned to the city to reorganize the thirty thousand Gu Sha troops.

Xia Feng and the ten women also began to slowly heal their injuries in the tent, waiting for nightfall.

At this time, Elder Chongwu frowned tightly, his expression very unpleasant, as he looked at the seventy to eighty thousand remnants in front of him.

"Each one of you looks miserable, getting beaten like this by a brat."

Faced with the Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign before them, the commanders of the Rizhao Empire's remnants all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound, like students being scolded in a private school.

The strongest among them, by cultivation, were merely Celestial Tier Martial Saints. In terms of martial dao and rank, they weren't even qualified to lick Chongwu Elder's shoes.

"Sir, we have already organized all the troops. At your command, we can launch an all-out attack immediately."

"Hmm." Elder Chongwu nodded, "The Ghost Shark and Master Qingyang, who came with me, have already gone to intercept the Imperial Prince of the Great Xia Empire. Judging by the time, they should be returning soon."

"When they bring back the head of the Great Xia Empire's Prince, I will personally hang it on the military flag, causing the Great Xia Empire's troops to lose morale."

"By then, killing them will be as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs."

Elder Chongwu stroked his goatee, speaking slowly.

But his words made these officers tremble with excitement.

To them, Xia Feng was an unending calamity; many of their comrades and partners had been killed by him.

Seeing the head of the Great Xia Empire's Prince and charging against the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire would be a most delightful thing if they had the chance.

"This operation will be under your command, sir, and we all follow your lead!"

These war generals in their snow-white Wolf Armor clasped their fists, their faces full of anticipation.

What they didn't know was that at this very moment, Xia Feng had already brought thirty thousand Gu Sha troops under the cover of night to within a hundred meters of their stationed troops.

"Your Highness, Chongwu Elder is inside. Beyond is a force of thirty thousand, with the remaining forty thousand stationed about five kilometers back."

The Gu Sha Grand General reported the situation to Xia Feng.

"Hmm, catch the leader first. Our troop numbers are at a disadvantage. If they rally seventy thousand under a military array, I may not be able to take that Chongwu Elder down."

Xia Feng took a deep breath, recalling the demonization technique previously used by Master Qingyang and Ghost Shark.

Although neither of them succeeded in demonization, the terrifying aura they emitted was somewhat overwhelming for him.

He aimed for a swift assault; if that Chongwu Elder completed his demonization along with the augment of seventy thousand in a military array, it would undoubtedly be a fierce battle for Xia Feng.

"You lead the troops and stay quietly here. I'll go first, and once I give the order, charge ahead immediately."

"Yes, sir."

After Xia Feng finished speaking, he disappeared into the night.

The ten women behind him, unconsciously, had already completed the setup of the Ten Extremes Array, understanding what their lord intended to do.

"Since His Highness managed to kill two Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns, wouldn't it be better to directly take this one Celestial Tier First Layer out, why are we acting as a secret force?"

Chen Hongyu stood beside Gu Sha, somewhat puzzled, and asked.

"Don't underestimate these Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns; they possess some very terrifying techniques."

Sun Yazhu shook her head at Chen Hongyu, then turned to the other women and said.

"That demonization technique is indeed extraordinary. The pair of eyes in the sky earlier... I have suspicions that it's not from our world."

The Celestial Pill Saintess, Sun Yazhu, had extensive knowledge in alchemy, but besides that, she also learned many other miscellaneous skills.
