Chapter 264 -166: Standing Among Thousands of Soldiers

“`

The battle erupted in an instant, swords flew across the sky like the wind.

Weaving through the crowd, they occasionally drew a splash of blood.

Chen Qing stuffed a Spiritual Pearl into his mouth and performed Fatian Xiangdi, transforming into a giant sixty feet tall, wielding a Dragon Sparrow Sword over thirty feet long and two and a half feet wide, standing before his army!

A rain of swords poured down in front, with sharp blades piercing through the clouds. Chen Qing swung the Dragon Sparrow Sword in his hand, stirring the wind and clouds, blocking all the swords and arrows before him.

Numerous cultivators skilled in long-range techniques hid behind Chen Qing, driving their flying swords forward with no regard for Spiritual Energy consumption.

Chen Qing successfully blocked many of the incoming ranged attacks, causing the enemy’s offensive to suddenly become sparse.

A large number of flying swords and arrows, accompanied by thunder and flames, flew towards the enemy.

Yan Shiyin, standing at the forefront of the army, shouted, “Spear Feather Forest Formation!”

Three hundred cultivators wielding eight-foot-long spears rushed forward, their hands manifesting golden spears, raised high to weave into a forest of golden spears, enveloping them and drawing the brunt of the attack.

The flying swords fell into this formation, only to explode with a pop, unable to harm them in the slightest.

Seeing this formation, Chen Qing was taken aback.

Without the Xuanjia Gu, they achieved something comparable to it with sheer spear technique, forming a Spear Formation!

Amidst his surprise, Chen Qing noticed Ying Xiaoxiao standing among two hundred archers, commanding them in uniform volleys, targeting the weaknesses in his defenses.

Arrows rained down like meteors, exploiting Chen Qing’s weak points, turning over a dozen Foundation Establishments into sieves in one round.

Meanwhile, on both flanks, Chou Ying and Cheng Tianyou watched intently, backed by hundreds of Foundation Establishments riding Mutant Blood Horses, seemingly ready to charge at his main formation at any given moment.

At this rate, defeat was inevitable!

Lin Zhonglu was asleep, but the others did not have his courage—to sleep soundly while two thousand Foundation Establishments battled outside.

Qing Ran gently stepped forward, leaping into the air, landing atop a tall tree, and gazed towards the distant battlefield.

The ferocity of the battle was something he had never seen before.

Even as a major tribe member, the largest battle he had ever participated in involved merely dozens of Foundation Establishments.

But now, this battlefield drew nearly all the Foundation Establishments from Yan Country and Wu Country.

With their addition, it would be the Three Kingdoms Foundation Establishments gathered here.

What could protect a tribe or sect’s prosperity for a century meant nothing here, for in just an instant, over a dozen Foundation Establishments perished amid the chaotic swords.

The battle had barely begun, and the ground outside the Giant Wood Forest had been plowed flat, mountains crumbled, and rivers ran red with blood.

Wildfires spread rapidly, quenched by rain within moments.

Yet, the next moment, thunder and flames returned, igniting the ground once more.

Mountains and rivers shattered, revealing the devastating power of Foundation Establishments in full expression.

“No wonder the seniors said we only have the option to surrender.”

“In such a fierce scene of slaughter, our Lin Country’s Foundation Establishments would be terrified just at the sight.”

“Once our front lines are breached, we face immediate and utter defeat.”

He raised three spirit beasts, their power rivaling Foundation Establishments, but facing such a formidable array, even spirit beasts would tremble.

Moreover, spirit beasts had a fatal flaw.

In large-scale military formations, spirit beasts struggled to form arrays.

After all, spirit beasts were not of the Demon Clan and found it difficult to comprehend arrays.

Those that understood were millennia-old spirit beasts, creatures they could never possess.

At such a level, large-scale military formations were inconceivable.

He turned his gaze back to Chen Qing, seeing that despite Chen Qing alone managing to fend off the enemy’s main force, his perceptive eyes still discerned the situation.

Chen Qing’s army was at an absolute disadvantage.

He keenly identified that although each soldier under Chen Qing’s command was individually strong, they seemed to lack extensive training.

They couldn’t achieve the seamless coordination seen in Yan Shiyin’s army.

“At this rate, Qingxu’s defeat is assured.”

He felt a mix of emotions regarding this reality.

Upon realizing that Lin Country’s Foundation Establishments were no match for Yan Shiyin or Chen Qing, they were destined to submit to one of them.

Truly, if forced to choose between Yan Shiyin or Chen Qing, he leaned towards Chen Qing.

Even if Chen Qing had been rather arrogant before.

It was a simple decision.

He was born into a major tribe, a direct descendant.

Under Yan Shiyin’s rule, even preserving his life would be in doubt.

By siding with Chen Qing, he could at least safeguard himself; survival was assured.

Comprehending the situation, Qing Ran hurried back to the wooden cabin, now only occupied by him and Lin Zhonglu.

He shook Lin Zhonglu awake, “Senior, Qingxu’s about to lose.”

Lin Zhonglu seemed slightly puzzled, “So soon?”

Qing Ran replied, “Judging by the current situation, they might hold out until tomorrow, but defeat is evident.”

“Senior, we should aid Chen Qing!”

“All our major tribes agree on this.”

Lin Zhonglu, however, sneered, “What you should do now is proclaim to the outside world that we’re sitting on the mountain watching tigers fight.”

Qing Ran was utterly baffled, “Why?”

“Senior, if Qingxu loses and we surrender to Yan Shiyin, we might face dire consequences!”

“Conversely, if we aid Qingxu in this critical moment, they will surely be grateful.”
