Chapter 1049: Crushing the Enemy Army

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Crushing the Enemy Army

The Furious Divine Lotus had always been treasured by Zhu Ge Ming like a precious gem, originally intended to be used during the most critical times of the siege of Northern Desert City.

Today, for Ling Xiao, he was willing to bring it out.

Ling Xiao received the strange lotus, and suddenly, a familiar sensation flowed into his Spirit Sea.

In that instant, he seemingly understood the terrifying nature of the object.

"Thank you!"

Ling Xiao stored the item in his Storage Ring, then leapt down from the city wall, his black and white wings spread wide behind him as he charged toward the enemy lines.

Ji Mingkong and Leng Mei quickly followed behind.

The three of them raced ahead of a hundred iron-clad riders toward the Black Crow Knights.

This was a life-risking move!

It was also a show of confidence!

"Who is that?"

The iron-clad riders, running, noticed the situation here too.

"Ling Xiao!"

"It’s Marshal Ling!"

"Does he intend to break through the ranks of a hundred Black Crow Knights with just three people?"

"He’s mad!"

"He must be mad!"

On the Northern Desert Pass, Si Kong Zun sneered endlessly; he had always thought Ling Xiao to be a calm and cautious man, but today, to his delight, he acted so foolishly.

Jia Yun was also trembling with excitement, "Die, die, hahaha, it looks like I won’t need to make a move!"

Ji Changran and Wan Qiu Feng both cast malicious glances, eagerly anticipating the moment Ling Xiao would be slain by the Black Crow Knights.

Feng Qingyan’s face was filled with anxiety.

Lu Chenlong, however, was utterly shocked.

Suddenly, loud war drums resounded from atop Northern Desert City.

It was Ji Ning himself beating the drums, cheering on Ling Xiao.

The sound of the drums, like thunderclaps, made one’s blood boil.

At the same time, on Northern Desert Pass, Lu Chenlong roared, "Soldiers, Marshal Ling has personally gone into battle for us, let’s support him with our loudest battle song!"

"When the beacon fires are lit, look to the north..."

The battle song rose from tens of thousands of soldiers’ mouths, shaking the ground and stirring the spirits.

"Kill!"

Ling Xiao roared furiously, already within a hundred meters of the Black Crow Knights.

The Black Crow Knights coldly watched Ling Xiao, this audacious fool, as they simultaneously drew their bows from behind.

Almost in the same rhythm, almost the same scene.

The difference was, previously a hundred arrows faced a hundred men.

Now, a hundred arrows targeted only three.

Feather arrows sliced through the air, the sound of the wind piercing and dust swirling, carrying a chilling murderous aura.

"Kill!"

Ling Xiao roared again, his Golden Crow Sword thrusting forward, and one after another, Crimson Sun Cones shot through the air.

In mid-air, the Crimson Sun Cones transformed into numerous small suns, colliding with those feather arrows.

Crackle and pop!

With the continuous collision sounds, the Black Crow Knights were astonished to find that the three men in front of them had disappeared.

Ling Xiao knew well that it was impossible for him alone to withstand hundreds of Black Crow Knights; thus, the Crimson Sun Cone was merely a distraction — his strategy was to divide and conquer.

Shadow Step and Shadow Armor allowed him to do this with ease.

Leng Mei, who possessed a fearsome assassin’s Martial Soul, easily managed to hide herself.

Ji Mingkong also had a tool that allowed invisibility.

The reason Ling Xiao only took these two into battle, leaving the others behind, was after careful deliberation.

"Kill!"

When the third roar sounded, a brilliant lotus erupted amidst the crowd.

Instantly, blood sprayed and limbs flew.

"How could it be so powerful!"

Zhu Ge Ming, too, was stunned by the scene; he had used the Furious Divine Lotus before, but its power had only been enough to harm a dozen or so Martial Artists of Eight Desolations Heaven Cultivation Level.

Yet, as Ling Xiao deployed it, instantly half of the Black Crow Knights perished; those who were touched by the lotus did not survive.

Following the lotus was the plum blossom.

Leng Mei was an assassin.

The killing technique was beautiful.

But also terrifying.

Any martial artist touched by the plum blossoms was either dead or injured.

In an instant, another dozen people fell to the ground.

Before the Black Crow Knights could react, a giant palm descended from the sky and landed in the crowd, causing another dozen people to fall and die tragically.

The Black Crow Knights had not yet figured out what was happening when only a dozen of them were left.

Yet the nightmare didn’t end there.

The Shadow Cone released unnoticed, resulting in another dozen people dying tragically.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Upon realizing the situation, the leader of the Black Crow Knights saw that he only had three or four people left by his side in an instant. He dared not stay any longer on this hellish battlefield.

He turned his horse around and fled toward the distance.

This scene stunned everyone from both sides.

The Black Crow Knights, who had been boastful and domineering before, were now fleeing in such an embarrassing state.

Was this scene real?

"Running now? It’s too late!"

Ling Xiao stood there, coldly watching the fleeing leader of the Black Crow Knights. He didn’t bother with others; with Leng Mei and Ji Mingkong present, those few would not be able to leave alive.

A sword was pointed at the target.

The drumming continued!

The singing grew louder!

The entire battlefield was filled with experts.

Yet now, it was overshadowed by the brilliance of one person.

Light and Shadow Divine Cone!

Sword Qi tore through the air, and the distance of several hundred meters was covered in an instant.

The leader of the Black Crow Knights, along with the Black Crow Beast beneath him, was cleaved into two.

The drumming and singing abruptly stopped.

On the entire battlefield, only the howling of the wind could be heard.

Moments later, a roaring sound like rolling thunder echoed from Northern Desert City to Northern Desert Pass.

"Ling Xiao!"

"Ling Xiao!"

Every mouth was calling out one person’s name, that was Ling Xiao!

"Those who offend my God Phoenix Empire will be punished, even if they are far away!"

Ling Xiao stepped forward and cut off the head of the enemy general, which had already been split into two, and raised it in his hand, unleashing a fierce roar.

Three people, three swords.

Over a hundred Black Crow Knights were annihilated in an instant!

This completely shocked the entire field.

Within the enemy line, Timmerman Muto’s face was grim.

Jiumo Zhiyan was flabbergasted.

"Is he one of the Ten Great Phoenix Children?"

Jiumo Zhiyan asked the strategist beside him.

"Reporting to the young prince, this person is named Ling Xiao, not one of the Ten Great Phoenix Children, but he has recently defeated strong opponents continuously in the Divine Phoenix Capital, his fame unparalleled for a time!"

"Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao! I will remember this name!"

Jiumo Zhiyan muttered to himself, then waved his hand and said, "We have been defeated today, we can’t fight anymore, retreat!"

He was well aware, although only a hundred Black Crow Knights had died, those were among the elites of the Black Crow Knights, and their deaths were a painful loss.

More importantly, the morale of the Black Crow Empire’s army was low due to these casualties. If they were to launch an attack now, it would be akin to seeking one’s own suffering.

"Young Prince, this man must not be left alive, let me go and kill him!"

Timmerman Muto had been staring at Ling Xiao.

His eyes were like that of a hawk eyeing its prey.

"Be careful, Master!"

Jiumo Zhiyan nodded and did not stop him.

He could also see that Ling Xiao was no ordinary man. If they couldn’t kill him while his cultivation level wasn’t strong enough, he would surely become a great calamity in the future.

Timmerman Muto shot through the air, his speed extremely fast.

"Leng Mei, Ji Mingkong, you two retreat first!"

Ling Xiao sensed an extremely dangerous aura approaching rapidly, knowing he was definitely outmatched, so he quickly yelled at Leng Mei and Ji Mingkong.
