Dominating Martial King-Chapter 1488 - 517: Divine Mirror Sky Blade

And Black Gold Mountain is merely forty-five li away from his central army.

He is now unable to regroup the army no matter what.

The likely outcome is being defeated piecemeal by the Yan State Giant Spirit!

Just when Xia Longxiang was desperately suppressing his panic and anxiety, he noticed a thunderous rumble from the rear of his army formation.

The ground thirty li behind was cracking open.

Numerous robust stone people emerged from the soil.

They numbered over three hundred thousand, in a loose yet firm formation, blocking the rear of the Xuanwu Army completely.

"Junmen!"

It was Qin Zhao Mei, assistant general of Xia Longxiang’s central army, who was visibly shocked by what he saw, his face turning pale and looking anxiously at Xia Longxiang.

"What should we do now? We are surrounded front and back, and the army is scattered over three hundred li to the north and south, likely to be defeated one by one by the Giant Spirit."

"Why panic?"

Xia Longxiang’s face turned stern and calm as usual.

He tugged on the reins, observing the surroundings, his thoughts gradually hardening like iron: "Order all the soldiers in the central army to prepare their equipment and form the Fish Scale Formation."

"The Fish Scale Formation?"

The Fish Scale Formation is an offensive formation, not suitable for defense.

However, Qin Zhao Mei is one of the outstanding generals of the Tieshan Qin Family.

He gradually calmed down and, with a slight change of thought, a light flashed in his eyes: "Junmen intends to counterattack rather than defend, striking from the center to break into Black Gold Mountain and hold it?"

This is a good idea; although the enemy forces in front are numerous, their formations are not firm due to the rush.

And their central army of forty thousand is the elite part of the Xuanwu Army. To aid the four sides, all forty thousand are elite cavalry, with two thousand Flying Dragon Knights.

At this time, attacking unexpectedly has a great chance to break into Black Gold Mountain.

The terrain there is the most suitable place for them to defend.

"As long as you understand, no need to inform the other soldiers to avoid unsettling the army."

Xia Longxiang pointed towards Black Gold Mountain; "We must buy time for each division of the Xuanwu Army and can hold here until the Infinite Blade Lord arrives. By the way! Have the soldiers polish their shields, polish their iron armor, they must shine brightly."

However, he thought to himself, if they can hold Black Gold Mountain, then hold it.

If not, have the accompanying sorcerers ignite all the coal under Black Gold Mountain and perish together with those Giant Spirits!

As for the polished iron armor and shields, these were orders from the General, even Xia Longxiang didn’t know their purpose.

"Understood!" Qin Zhao Mei immediately clasped his fist, mounted his horse, and left to start organizing the army and prepare for the all-out assault.

Xia Longxiang took out a cylindrical tube, silver-white and two fingers thick, from his sleeve and pressed the trigger towards the sky.

This was something issued by the General, and nearly every officer above the thousand-households level in the Ice State Army carried two to three of them.

This is a magic artifact crafted by the Formless Divine Sect, to be used only when significant casualties are anticipated.

The tube lit no flame into the sky, but in a moment, a glaring light, like a small sun, exploded high up in the air.

Just three breaths later, another sun-like light appeared a hundred li to the south, shining high in the sky.

Then at two hundred li, three hundred li, one by one the lights shone, relaying to the south—

Xia Longxiang glanced south, then mounted his horse to advance.

As the Capital Commander of the Xuanwu Army, he must lead the charge to carve a path forward for the entire army.

However, at this moment, a riddled laughter echoed distantly.

"Xia Longxiang! Are you trying to seek aid from your Infinite Blade Lord? Relying on his Vengeance Blade? What a fool’s dream! Chu Xisheng, that brat, has been lured to the Iron State by us, even with supreme abilities, you can’t count on him now! Today marks the demise of the Xuanwu Army, beneath this Black Gold Mountain shall be your grave."

Xia Longxiang paused slightly, then proceeded without changing his expression.

He couldn’t tell whether the opponent’s words were true or false.

However, the rescue magic artifact he activated was not only to seek assistance from the Infinite Blade Lord but also to inform the General to come to their aid.

With Yan State Giant Spirit’s blockade of scouts and coverage of the battlefield, a fierce scout battle erupted over a three thousand eight hundred li lineup with the Ice State Army, involving numerous First and Second Grade experts on both sides.

Xia Longxiang estimated that the First Grade Martial Cultivator gathered at Black Gold Mountain wouldn’t exceed ten.

Yet that was still someone he couldn’t contend with.

Xia Longxiang utilized the Emperor’s Secret Technique ’Sky Battle Seven Guards,’ his combat power barely reaching Super First Grade’s fringe.

At present, only by requesting the General’s quick arrival could stabilize the situation.

※※※※

Just half a quarter ago, above Black Gold Mountain.

Huang Tianli, the prince of the Night Wolf Tribe, was blushing as he looked down.

The encirclement had been completed; next was the harvest.

First, completely annihilate the forty thousand troops of the Xuanwu Central Army, then defeat the various divisions of the Xuanwu Army one by one!

After seven years, he finally found a chance to draw his sword against Qin Muge.

Although he couldn’t avenge his father ’Emperor Jilie’ yet, to take revenge for the killing of his father, he could inflict a heavy blow on that Human Clan’s Dominating Martial King, making her lose the possibility of vying for the Divine Continent imperial succession.

This battle today would also inspire the tribe’s morale, solidifying his prestige to become the rightful leader of the Night Wolf’s various divisions!

Buzhou Mountain Warlord Huang Heixuan glanced sideways, guessing at Huang Tianli’s intentions.

Emperor Jilie’s youngest son was ambitious, always seeking to revive the Night Wolf Imperial Court.

Yet Huang Heixuan was happy to see this happen.

At their height, the Night Wolf Imperial Court and the Buzhou Mountain Imperial Court were rivals and rebellious.
