Chapter 719: Chapter 719 The True Purpose

Zhao Zhongtian had heard of the military might of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s army, but that was on the battlefield, and he believed, just to escort a merchant convoy, the Jade Cauldron Kingdom would not possibly employ their frontline’s most elite forces.

However, Zhao Zhongtian didn’t know that the overall combat strength of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s army was difficult for even the Formation Sect’s War Department to rival.

The training methods of the Jade Cauldron Sect required soldiers to have unwavering will; the harsher and more rigorous the environment, the more powerful the strength honed by the soldiers.

Zhao Zhongtian realized the strength of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s army, but he still underestimated the capabilities of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s martial artists.

In just one clash, he was severely wounded; the twelve Reverting Void Realm martial artists he led to ambush the Lingxi Commerce Guild’s convoy were simply bringing disgrace upon themselves, like delivering themselves as a meal to others.

Despite sustaining grave injuries, Zhao Zhongtian, after all, possessed the cultivation of Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm, and ultimately he broke through the encirclement and escaped.

After fleeing, Zhao Zhongtian didn’t dare to hesitate for a moment, immediately escaping into the distance.

As he left, Zhao Zhongtian looked back and found that the Zhao Family disciples, including the white-haired elder, were all captured alive by the army escorting the Lingxi Commerce Guild.

"You damn thing, you dare attack the Jade Cauldron Sect, and you want to run away!"

Xu Tian, seeing Zhao Zhongtian use a secret technique to escape the attack range of the Battle Eagle Squad, immediately pursued relentlessly.

He absolutely could not let Zhao Zhongtian escape from his hands, or not only would he lose all military merit, but his sovereign, the Jade Cauldron Sect, and his brother Xu Fei would all hold him to account.

After all, Xu Fei had just confidently declared that these Zhao Family disciples would definitely not get away.

Xu Fei and Xu Tian, who were originally bandit leaders, had now joined the Jade Cauldron Sect and become generals, which was a great honor.

If they let Zhao Zhongtian escape today, their faces in the military would be completely lost, and they would be scoffed at by other armies, even their own Battle Eagle Squad brothers might mock them, which Xu Tian absolutely could not accept.

Therefore, he decided not to allow Zhao Zhongtian to leave this place.

This time, the Battle Eagle Squad tasked with escorting the Lingxi Commerce Guild had a force of two thousand men, an arrangement made by Lin Chen out of concern that some with knowledge of the convoy and malice in their hearts might make a move on the Lingxi Commerce Guild.

Now, indeed, someone had come with the intent to rob, but they had been discovered by the Dark Division.

However, if even these twelve could escape from the grasp of the Battle Eagle Squad, that would make the squad seem utterly incompetent.

Of course, this was not entirely Xu Tian’s fault.

After all, Xu Fei had previously promised Wang Xuan to capture the twelve alive, so Xu Tian had held back in commanding the Battle Eagle Squad, not going all out.

Otherwise, even with Zhao Zhongtian’s Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm cultivation, he might have died today.

Whoosh—

However, as Xu Tian prepared to pursue, Yu Jin had already taken the lead; his figure turned into a blur of shadows and disappeared in front of everyone, quickly chasing after Zhao Zhongtian.

What a joke, even though the Dark Division wasn’t the main force in this operation, they had a responsibility to assist the Battle Eagle Squad.

If Zhao Zhongtian truly got away, the seven of them would lose all face for the Dark Division.

Therefore, as Zhao Zhongtian broke through the encirclement of Xu Tian and the others, Yu Jin had already taken action.

Seeing Yu Jin move out, Xu Tian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

With someone from the Dark Division taking action, especially the squad leader Yu Jin himself, Zhao Zhongtian would surely not escape.

The members of the Dark Division each had mysterious methods, and their strength far surpassed that of the Battle Eagle Squad’s martial artists; there was no way Zhao Zhongtian could escape from them.

Even though Zhao Zhongtian had escaped from Xu Tian’s hands, he naturally had to give chase now.

In terms of group combat, the Battle Eagle Squad’s rain of arrows was indeed unmatched.

But when it came to individual combat, no military force in the entire Jade Cauldron Kingdom could compare with the Dark Division.

Joining the Dark Division not only required excellent talent and cultivation but also tremendous willpower, as the routine training of the Dark Division was three to four times more grueling than that of the Battle Eagle Squad, which ordinary people simply couldn’t endure.

However, once someone persevered, they would inevitably become a formidable force.

At this moment, Zhao Zhongtian had fled a hundred miles away from the site of the ambush on the Lingxi Commerce Guild, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the army escorting the Lingxi Commerce Guild was terrifyingly powerful, far beyond his expectations, his objective had been achieved.

Zhao Zhongtian, dragging his wounded body covered in scars, made his way to the place agreed upon with Zhao Yuntian.

...

At this moment, on Luoyang Avenue, Zhao Yuntian, worried about the matter regarding Zhao Lingxi mentioned by Zhao Zhongtian, finally went to the place Zhao Zhongtian had spoken of.

However, when he reached Luoyang Avenue, he found no trace of anyone’s presence.

He furrowed his brow, wondering whether he had been fooled by Zhao Zhongtian, and his mind was also filled with curiosity about what Zhao Zhongtian’s purpose could be.

Just as Zhao Yuntian was puzzled, he saw a figure rushing toward him from a distance.

When he recognized that the person was his own brother Zhao Zhongtian, he was shocked.

Zhao Zhongtian’s body was covered in bloodstains, with several gaping wounds; although the bleeding had stopped, he was evidently severely injured.

Behind him, a group of martial artists was in hot pursuit.

Clearly, the injuries Zhao Zhongtian suffered were caused by these pursuers.

After a moment’s hesitation, Zhao Yuntian decided to rush towards Zhao Zhongtian.

No matter what, Zhao Zhongtian was his own brother, and he could not just stand by, allowing him to be killed in front of his eyes.

Upon seeing Zhao Yuntian charging towards him, a cold smile appeared on Zhao Zhongtian’s lips, and a sinister light flashed through his eyes.

"Brother Wang, save me, they are trying to kill me!"

Zhao Zhongtian shouted loudly for help to Zhao Yuntian.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuntian accelerated his pace.

As several whooshing sounds rang out, Zhao Yuntian quickly arrived in front of Zhao Zhongtian; without asking why the others wanted to kill Zhao Zhongtian, he immediately protected him behind himself.
