Chapter 1180 Fire Battle
On the battlefield, both sides were poised for action.
The Barbarian King could also guess the intentions of Yaodu Mansion. Until now, it had only been localized fervor, but today, it was a full-scale war.
All the cultivators at the Hedan realm at the front lines of the Barbarian tribe had received special elixirs.
Rumor had it that these elixirs were obtained by the Barbarian King trading his own lifespan. Whether true or not, the quality of the elixirs was undeniably excellent.
Above the fifth layer of the Hedan realm, there was a significant recovery.
Of course, everyone understood that the distribution of such elixirs meant that today would be a fight to the death.
The Barbarian leader, Le Jin Lutou, stood within the central military tent. His spiritual power was not diffused, yet everyone around could feel immense pressure.
This battle was a matter of life and death for the Barbarian tribe!
As time ticked by, a telepathic message suddenly sounded from the central tent.
"A Yaodu Mansion general has been discovered in the Manqiu Ridge area! Suspected to be above the fifth layer of the Hedan realm!"
"Along the banks of the Wanqiu River! Hedan fifth layer forces have crossed the border!"
"A large number of Foundation Establishment realm cultivators are active in Womanyao Mountain!"
A series of urgent reports reached the ears of the Barbarian leader, Le Jin Lutou. Instantly, everyone in the central military tent reacted.
Yaodu Mansion had not held back!
They were pressing in with full force!
The Hedan realm cultivators remaining in the central army could no longer sit still. They rose and said, "My King! Your subordinate is willing to go to Manqiu Ridge!"
"My tribe can go to support the banks of the Wanqiu River!"
"Womanyao Mountain has treacherous terrain, and with the added benefit of the border formations, I, though only at the third layer of Hedan realm, can hold back Yaodu Mansion's Hedan fifth layer!"
Barbarian leader Le Jin Lutou looked at the Barbarian generals before him, feeling immensely touched.
All the Barbarian generals who had remained in the central army camp were, without exception, elderly.
While their cultivation realms were not low, their vital energy was no longer at its peak.
The Barbarian leader did not want them to go to the battlefield!
"I have already made arrangements. Please remain calm."
As the Barbarian leader spoke these words, his hands had already crushed the corner of the table. He thought silently, "Everyone, you must all survive!"
At this moment, outside Manqiu Ridge, Chen Yang and Suoluohao were hiding in a tent. Beside them was Tiemu Hazhen of the Manli tribe.
The three looked at each other. Chen Yang asked, "Is the news accurate? Is Yaodu Mansion going to launch a full-scale war?"
Suoluohao nodded with a grave expression. "It's not wrong. And it seems they've deployed quite a few Hedan fifth layer cultivators, possibly even stronger beings."
Tiemu Hazhen, who had been silent all along, gave a wry smile. "If I had known, I would have drunk the two bottles of good wine I saved. Now I don't know if I'll have the chance."
Chen Yang also looked troubled. This Yaodu Mansion Prefect was truly impatient. Only a few cultivators at the first and second layers of Hedan realm had died, and barely a handful at the third layer!
Was it really necessary to launch a full-scale attack now?
Hearing Tiemu Hazhen mention drinking wine, Chen Yang took out a few bottles of Immortality Wine. "Try this. It's good wine brewed by our human race, called Immortality Wine."
Although Immortality Wine could not be brewed in the Lower Realm, Chen Yang had still managed to get some brought over.
There were also some raw materials from the Snow Forest. Chen Yang planned to try replacing some of the higher-grade materials with spirit rice from the Lower Realm.
Tiemu Hazhen took the wine with a hint of doubt and whispered, "I've drunk some human wine before, but that was a long time ago. Let me taste the craftsmanship of the human race now."
The moment the wine touched his tongue, Tiemu Hazhen's eyes widened. After a long pause, he murmured, "It's delicious. To have a taste of such good wine at this time is truly without regret!"
Seeing Tiemu Hazhen's reaction, Suoluohao immediately swallowed.
The land of the Barbarian tribe was poor. Let alone wine, even food had to be rationed.
Wine in Barbarian City was not only expensive but also limited in quantity.
As one of the Barbarian King's trusted aides, Suoluohao could indeed taste good wine on occasion, but no Barbarian would ever say they had too much of such a thing.
Seeing this, Chen Yang also handed Suoluohao a bottle. "When you visited last time, this wine wasn't ready yet. You try it too."
Seeing their satisfied expressions, Chen Yang's mood also improved greatly.
If the commercial environment in the Lower Realm were better, perhaps Yangyangyang Company could even establish its own business there!
Just as the three were in good spirits, they simultaneously felt the movement of a large number of Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, as well as some Hedan realm ones.
"Only one? No, this guy is not Hedan fifth layer! He's stronger!" Suoluohao was shocked. Such strength was something the two youngsters could not possibly face.
Tiemu Hazhen's face turned cold. Looking at the half-full bottle of wine in his hand, he took a gulp, stood up, and said, "Let's go and see who this shameless fellow is."
The three immediately concealed their presence and left the tent.
Meanwhile, the Barbarian camp was also ready.
The Barbarians at the Foundation Establishment realm and below remained silent until the general of the Manli tribe waved the battle banner and shouted, "Attack!"
Instantly, all the Barbarians erupted in fervor.
The memory of the Barbarian tribe's previous defeat flashed in their minds. This time, they were not only fighting to reclaim their spiritual veins but also to avenge the past.
Mo Qiangu, who was on the march, merely snorted and said, "Form ranks!"
Mo Qiangu's personal guards were clad in uniform armor, stained with blood that had not yet dried.
The outposts of the Manli tribe had all been dealt with by them!
The imposing demonic beast warhorses exuded an aura of power. The Foundation Establishment cultivators around were unwilling to get too close to these men, as these Yao Gu City guards were known to attack even their own people!
The earth-shattering roars of the Barbarian tribe were invigorating.
In such a situation, no sound could match the momentum of their battle cries.
On the side of Yaodu Mansion, the armored cavalry formed by the Yao Gu City guards exuded a chilling atmosphere.
"Dong!"
A drumbeat sounded, and the Yao Gu City guards drew their weapons. Their heavy armor concealed their bodies, and even their demonic beast warhorses seemed to have heard the drumbeat.
"Dong, dong!" After two consecutive drumbeats, a sudden, thunderous drum sound exploded in their ears.
The Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection realm cultivators among the Yao Gu City guards immediately tightened their grip on their steeds. The demonic beast warhorses let out a roar and charged forward first.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators beside them were startled. In the blink of an eye, all the demonic beast warhorses had charged out, sweeping forward like a black wind.
Mo Qiangu soared into the air, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as his Hedan power erupted. "Battle!"
On one side were the formidable warriors of the Manli tribe, each brave and eager to fight.
On the other side were the armored cavalry formed from the thousand-year foundation of Yao Gu City.
The speed at which Foundation Establishment cultivators could move varied, but not a single one foolishly left the main force.
In a battlefield like this, even a Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivator could not afford to stray from the main force.
The moment the two sides clashed, the battlefield was bathed in blood.
