Chapter 215: Defeat of the Goguryeons!
“What’s going on?”
“Why did my strength suddenly decrease!”
“Why is there a slowdown in my flow of Origin Energy!”
…
When Wang Chong activated the Bane of the Battlefield, Goguryeon warriors within an area of a hundred zhang immediately found their strength being suppressed.
The True Martial realm warriors felt their Halo of Thorns growing significantly weaker while the others felt their cultivation dip. It was as though an intangible force had gripped them, restricting and slowing the flow of their Origin Energy.
It was as though a huge lump of mud had been thrown into a rapid stream, and this sensation left them extremely uncomfortable.
A fight between experts hinged upon the second, lest to say, on such an intense battlefield. All of a sudden, the Goguryeon warriors affected by the Bane of the Battlefield panicked, and their entire group fell into a state of disarray.
Everyone, including Wang Chong, immediately noticed the peculiarity among the Goguryeons.
“Great!”
Currently, there was no one who was more overjoyed than Wang Chong. The effect of the Bane of the Battlefield was much greater than he had imagined. More importantly, until now, no one had been able to tell that he was the orchestrator of this abrupt twist.
“Kill! ——”
Wang Chong let loose a furious howl and charged forth using the Single Character Consecutive Slash.
In that hundred zhang radius, even though his allies didn’t understand what was happening, it was clear that the situation was to their advantage.
“Kill! Kill them all! Don’t let a single one of them get away!——”
Morale soared. Gathering their remaining strength, the rest charged forward alongside with Wang Chong. In comparison, the previously ferocious Goguryeons seemed to have lost their will to fight. The impact from the Bane of the Battlefield extended far beyond the weakening of their strength.
Under the onslaught, the Goguryeon warriors fell one after another.
“What’s going on? Why did I suddenly lose control of my Origin Energy?”
“What did those Great Tang Imperial Army guards do to us?”
“Send a signal to the master archers to get rid of them!”
…
The furious and alarmed Goguryeon warriors cursed in their native tongue.
Yinnn!
In the distance, a furious call reminiscent of dragons and tigers sounded from one of the surrounding mountains.
“It’s Zhao Qianqiu!”
Wang Chong thought in delight.
“It’s Instructor Zhao. Instructor Zhao has succeeded! We must do our part as well!”
Delighted, Wang Chong exclaimed as he slew two Turk wolves beside him. Executing the Single Character Consecutive Slash, he charged forward and slashed at a distraught Goguryeon warrior.
The Bane of the Battlefield was only effective against members of an official military organization, so Wang Chong only went for targets affected by the white ripple.
“Gather here and block them! Otherwise, none of us will be leaving here alive today!”
A temporary leader for the Goguryeons stood forward at this moment and began issuing orders. Soon, under that person’s leadership, the Goguryeons managed to regain their footing and withstood the onslaught.
But in the next moment, a destructive offense came a line of collapsed wall in the surroundings.
Xiu xiu xiu!
The deafening screams of arrows ripping through the air threatened to pop one’s eardrums. Dozens of wolf fang arrows gleaming with a cruel light shot in from the opening in the wall.
But this time, the wolf fang arrows weren’t directed toward the Great Tang troops but the Goguryeons.
Pu pu pu!
Seven to eight Goguryeons were struck in their hearts and fell to the ground as though uplifted wooden stakes. Even more were struck on their chests and shoulders, and the immense force pushed them back a good eight zhang.
——At this crucial moment, Xu Qi had finally finished moving the wolf corpses stacked in one of the buildings that was originally used to ward off the offense of the enemy master archers.
It was precisely because of these fortifications that the group had been able to fight without the interference of the master archers. However, at the same time, these buildings had prevented Zhou Huang from reinforcing them.
Thus, Wang Chong ordered Xu Qi to lead a group to clear away the wolf carcasses in several of the buildings to open up a pathway for Zhou Huang’s arrows.
Even though this would put the group at risk from the attack of the enemy master archers, opportunity and risk usually came hand-in-hand.
“This is a good chance!”
With the support from Zhou Huang, Wang Chong decisively dashed forward. With a cold gleam of light, Wang Chong’s sword stabbed into the heart of a Goguryeon warrior ten zhang away.
That Goguryeon was originally wounded, and being struck by Zhou Huang’s wolf fang arrow aggravated his injuries. As such, he wasn’t able to react in time to block Wang Chong’s offense.
【Congratulations to user for killing 2 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!]
At the same time, the sight before Wang Chong warped as a piece of information flashed across his head. The Goguryeon warrior that Wang Chong had just killed was an official soldier of the Goguryeo Empire who was affected by the white ripples.
