Chapter Ninety-One: Encircled! (Please recommend, please bookmark, please tip!)
Was there someone secretly intervening?
Or had Qin Feng truly annihilated the Beast King Sect, the Supreme Sect, and the twelve war generals of the Scarlet Sun Sect?
The Northern Martial King set out at once for Xuan Province City.
He had to recover the remaining map fragment from Qin Feng.
Of the nine fragmented maps of the Mystic Heaven Sect, he already possessed six. If he could retrieve Qin Feng’s fragment, he would hold seven in total, and then he might be able to try his luck in searching for the treasure.
...
When Song Haicheng, Cheng Haitian, Mo Yuntao, Lin Xiaozhong, and the other war generals hurried up onto the city walls, what met their eyes was the sight of an army pressing down upon them.
Below the walls stood a forest of banners. At the head were fifty-six powerhouses of war-general rank, and behind them were troops of elite soldiers.
The soldiers below advanced rapidly toward the walls, while siege engines such as catapults were being assembled.
"Do not let them get close."
"The moment they come within range, rain arrows on them without mercy!"
Sword in hand, Song Haicheng stood atop the walls, his face grave as he spoke in a deep voice.
Qin Feng, Lin Xiaozhong, and Chen Donghai looked down below, feeling wave after wave of crushing pressure.
The soldiers of the Great Eastern Empire had already assembled their siege weapons and were rushing quickly toward Tiger Prison Pass.
"Loose!"
When Song Haicheng saw that the enemy soldiers had entered bow range, he swept his arm down in a sudden command. Instantly, countless arrows flew from behind him.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Arrow after arrow sliced through the air. Tens of thousands of shafts swept like a black cloud over the army of the Great Eastern Empire.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
The soldiers of the Great Eastern Empire raised their shields high and hurriedly pushed their catapults and other siege weapons closer to Tiger Prison Pass.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
The enemy catapults were activated. Great stones fell from the sky, crashing down upon Tiger Prison Pass.
Hong!
With a solemn expression, Song Haicheng smashed one of the incoming boulders to pieces with a single punch.
"Storm the walls!"
"Attack!"
Below, the soldiers of the Great Eastern Empire rapidly erected scaling ladders and surged madly toward Tiger Prison Pass. They did not hesitate in the slightest, truly using their lives to take the fortress.
"Everyone, it is our turn to act!"
"Whoever is first to set foot atop Tiger Prison Pass will claim the greatest merit!"
Zuo Xiangyun, a war general of the Great Eastern Empire, narrowed his eyes as he studied Song Haicheng’s figure atop the battlements, then said in a cold voice.
"Kill!"
Zuo Xiangyun roared, forcefully drove power through his legs, leaped high into the air, and bellowed as he charged toward Tiger Prison Pass.
"Kill!"
"Break Tiger Prison Pass!"
"Slay our way into the Great Xia Empire and win immense glory!"
The other fifty-five war generals, including Chong Tianyou and Zheng Tianyou, roared in unison, their murderous intent surging skyward as they charged at Tiger Prison Pass.
Zuo Xiangyun, Chong Tianyou, Zheng Tianyou, and the other fifty-three war-general powerhouses were astonishingly fast, rushing in an instant beneath Tiger Prison Pass.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
They stamped hard on the ground, borrowing the rebound to spring upward. In a flash they landed upon the city wall, then kicked off once more, soaring high again.
"Everyone, destroy them."
"We must not let them set foot in the territory of the Great Xia Empire."
"If Tiger Prison Pass is breached, you and I will be sinners for the ages."
Song Haicheng gave a long cry and, blade in hand, charged forward first.
The fifty-six war generals of the Great Eastern Empire surged in like a tide. Song Haicheng swung his blade at one of their war generals.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Surround Tiger Prison Pass and wipe out the Great Eastern Empire."
Qin Feng locked onto a war general and cried out loudly. Feeling his blood boil, he rushed into the fray.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Lin Xiaozhong, Chen Donghai, Cheng Haitian, Mo Yuntao, and the other war-general powerhouses also unleashed furious roars.
Battle intent rose from them like flames, combat aura soaring into the heavens as they rushed to meet the charging war generals head-on.
The moment the fighting began, the Great Xia Empire had too few war-general-level cultivators and was immediately suppressed by the war-general powerhouses of the Great Eastern Empire, falling at once into the disadvantage.
Even two unfortunate war generals were besieged by three or four enemy war generals and were instantly slain.
"Kill!"
Qin Feng, spear in hand, erupted with full force. Blood seeped through his skin as he gave a long howl.
Hong!
His halberd slammed into the weapon held by a war general of the Great Eastern Empire, sending that weapon flying at once.
And the tremendous force carried by the blow directly tore the enemy’s arm apart.
"Ah!"
Tian Yunchang let out a miserable scream and was blasted from the city wall, his life and death unknown.
"General Song, Brother Lin, Commander Chen, hold them off. I will come reinforce you shortly!"
Qin Feng swung his weapon, cutting down the soldiers of the Great Eastern Empire as they rushed up, and quickly made for the three war generals of the Great Eastern Empire.
"Kill!"
Qin Feng was aflame with bloodlust and battle intent. Seeing three war generals of the Great Eastern Empire joining forces to slaughter the soldiers below, his expression filled with furious anger. He violently swung his halberd in a sweeping arc toward the three of them.
"Hmph!"
"Bold indeed."
"Take him down."
When Lou Yiming, Zhong Haishang, and the others saw Qin Feng charging over, cruel smiles spread across their mouths. They abandoned the soldiers and rushed to kill Qin Feng.
"Arrogant!"
"Do not underestimate the enemy."
When Song Haicheng heard Qin Feng’s words, he let out a cold snort in his heart, and his eyes could not help glancing toward Qin Feng’s position on the battlefield.
Lin Xiaozhong, Mo Yuntao, Cheng Haitian, and many other war-general powerhouses also could not help but look toward Qin Feng.
"What?"
"How can this be?"
"His combat power is actually this terrifying?"
Song Haicheng, Mo Yuntao, and Cheng Haitian saw Qin Feng swing his halberd and, with a single strike, blow apart the three war generals of the Great Eastern Empire.
When Song Haicheng, Mo Yuntao, Cheng Haitian, and the others looked at Qin Feng, their faces showed shock and utter disbelief.
"Chen Zhou, Hao Yun, Tao Yunzhou... go and kill him!"
Seeing Qin Feng’s ferocity, Zuo Xiangyun swept his arm at ten war generals and ordered them to attack Qin Feng.
"Very well."
"Yes, sir."
"Kill!"
Chen Zhou, Hao Yun, Tao Yunzhou... ten war generals in all quickly withdrew from the battlefield, weapons in hand, and moved to kill Qin Feng.
"Qin Feng, be careful!"
A portion of Song Haicheng’s attention had remained on Qin Feng. Seeing ten war generals rush toward him, his expression changed drastically as he spoke quickly.
"Ten war generals."
"Qin Feng, be on your guard."
Seeing the Great Eastern Empire dispatch ten war generals against Qin Feng, Cheng Haitian, Mo Yuntao, and the others hurriedly warned him.
When they saw that the ten war generals of the Great Eastern Empire had already surrounded Qin Feng, their eyes split with fury, and they fought all the more fiercely, pouring out one hundred and twenty percent of their strength.
"Destroy him!"
"To think one mere man would force the ten of us to join hands."
"Kill!"
Chen Zhou, Hao Yun, Tao Yunzhou... the ten war generals rushed before Qin Feng, studied him with cold eyes, and loudly declared before lunging at him together.
