Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 77: Ten Days of Massacre



Chapter 77: Ten Days of Massacre

In the eastern city gate, Fang Canghai, with his third stage Ki Control martial cultivation, stood like a firm wall against the 20,000 Longdu cavalrymen. Anyone who tried to scale the city wall was mercilessly slaughtered by him in a single slash.

But even when reinforcements from the West Tiger Barracks arrived, they still struggled to keep the Longdu cavalrymen at bay with just the thousand soldiers they had.

General Fang, I doubt that the young master will be able to guard the eastern city gates even if he rushes here. Why dont we inform people to inform the young master to take Madam and the young miss away first? a soldier anxiously asked Fang Canghai.

Fang Chen was likely one of Longdus motivations behind this invasion. There was no way they would let the Fang Clan get away scot-free. Their priority now should be to keep Fang Chen safe, so that there was still a chance for them to make a comeback.

Dont overthink it and focus on protecting the city gates. If we cant hold our ground, well just have to slaughter as many of them as possible, Fang Canghai replied.

All of a sudden, there was a brilliant flash of light.

A Longdu cavalryman, who had just scaled the city wall, suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of inner ki that sent dozens of Great Xias soldiers flying. Without any hesitation, he charged at Fang Canghai with his sword in hand. His attack was exceedingly swift, precise, and accurate, making it hard to deal with.

Fang Canghais face darkened. Its a Ki Control martial artist!

The fact that Longdu had dispatched a Ki Control martial artist here meant that they were planning to go all out to take down the eastern city gates!

One of the Great Xias soldiers selflessly rushed forward to protect Fang Canghai, only to be stabbed in his heart. Even so, the soldier didnt retreat. He continued advancing forward despite the sword plunging deeper into him, just so he could hold the enemy down.

The Longdu cavalryman hadnt expected such a situation. Fury flickered in his eyes. Just as he was about to release his inner ki to crush the soldier behind him into bits, Fang Canghais blade had already fallen on his neck.

Pch!

As the Longdu cavalrymans head was lopped off, his eyes were filled with indignation. He couldnt believe how he, a Ki Control martial artist, was killed before he could make a significant difference on the battlefield.

And it was all because of a mere Great Xia soldier who fearlessly sacrificed himself?

There were so many variables on the battlefield that a martial artist, no matter how powerful, could easily lose their life on the battlefield over a minor mistake.

Whats your name? Fang Canghai quickly supported the dying soldier and asked with sorrowful eyes,

G-General Fang, I was a nameless soldier under War God Fangs command. I am honored to have been able to help you kill a Ki Control martial artist today. My death is not in vain! Haha! The soldier laughed while coughing blood. His eyes gradually lost their spirit and turned dull.

Fang Canghai released his grip, dropping both the soldier and the Longdu cavalryman he had been holding onto the ground. Then, he raised his sword and continued hacking down the Longdu cavalrymen attempting to scale the city walls.

Much blood was shed, but the tides of war slowly became evident.

An increasing number of Longdu cavalrymen successfully gained a footing on the city walls, forcing Fang Canghai and the others to retreat. Similarly, the city gates below were slowly being smashed down by Longdus siege weapons.

We have broken in! Longdus cavalrymen cheered in delight.

Great Xias soldiers turned pale.

Fang Canghai knew that they couldnt guard the city walls anymore, so he ordered his remaining soldiers to retreat into the city. They would have to find another chokehold to deal with the influx of Longdu cavalrymen.

Youre Fang Chens father, Fang Canghai?

A group of Longdu cavalrymen charged in through the tattered eastern city gates. Among them was a tall middle-aged man gazing down on Fang Canghai from his tall steed.

The nervous civilians saw what was going on, and that further stoked their panic. The eastern city gates had fallen! This meant that the outer city was soon going to fall into Longdus hands. Without the outer city, it was unlikely that the inner city could last long.

You are? Fang Canghai coldly asked.

Longdu Count Li Shiyun, the middle-aged man replied. He glanced at his surroundings and remarked, Tsk. I never thought I would lead my soldiers into Great Xias capital. Listen, my men! Dont show any mercy to Great Xia scums. Well spend ten days massacring everyone in their city. Youre free to take whatever money and women you find!

Yes, milord!

The Longdu cavalrymen were overjoyed, as their faces warped in savagery.

The civilians trembled in fear and despair. They are going to spend ten days massacring us? How many of us will be left by the end of the tenth day? Longdu is not just looking to conquer us; they are going on a genocide here!

Fang Canghai was infuriated, but he didnt make any reckless move. He knew that he didnt have enough military prowess to confront the Longdu cavalrymen straight-on, so the only thing he could do now was to stall for time and hope for reinforcements to arrive soon.

There would be hope for a comeback as long as they drove the enemy out of the city.

Fang Canghai, youre lacking compared to your son. I believe itd have been harder for me to take down the eastern city gates if Fang Chen was here. What a pity our Marquess Xianyu has personally gone over to deal with him. He wont have the spare attention to help you, assuming he isnt dead yet. Ill be kind to send you down, so that the two of you can reunite in hell!

Li Shiyun burst into hearty laughter. He raised his hand and ordered, Men, tear them apart!

Just then, a figure bolted straight toward Li Shiyun and grabbed his head.

You are?! Li Shiyun was startled.

I am a pinnacle Ki Control martial artist, but the other party approached me without me noticing and even wrapped his fingers around my head. Just how powerful is he? Ki Manifestation? Does Great Xia actually have two Ki Manifestation martial artists?

Fang Canghai and the others were stunned too.

Before anyone could react, Li Shiyuns head had already popped.

But the figure didnt just stop there. He continued attacking the nearby Longdu cavalrymen, killing at least ten of them with each strike.

Charge!

Knowing that the person who had just arrived was a powerful ally, Fang Canghai unhesitatingly capitalized on this opportunity to turn the tables around and drive the enemy out of the capital.

With the help of this mysterious expert, the battle became astonishingly easy. In a mere matter of moments, the Longdu cavalrymen who had breached the city gates had been driven out.

However, the figure didnt stop there. He chased the Longdu cavalrymen out of the city and continued to slaughter them like a merciless butcher machine, reaping their lives without a moments rest.

The crowd was astounded.

In just a few moments, the figure had already taken the lives of over 300 Longdu cavalrymen, but he wasnt showing any signs of fatigue yet. Not even a Ki Manifestation martial artist would have been capable of such a feat.

In the sky, Fang Chen knew that the eastern city gates should be safe. The Greenwood Puppet was an unstoppable force, but if that was not enough, there were at least ten Great Xia Shadow Guards equipped with Purple Lightning Talismans on standby. If needed, they could invoke their Purple Lightning Talismans to take down some of the tougher enemies.

Thus, Fang Chen turned his attention toward the other three city gates.

In the northern city gates, Huang Sihai was like an unstoppable natural disaster after being buffed by the Protection Talisman, Flitting Talisman, and Strength Talisman. His mere charges were enough to shatter the Longdu cavalrymen into bits. His presence roused the morale of the Great Xia soldiers guarding the area.

In the southern city gates, with the aid of the four talismans, Xu Ge worked with fourteen other Shadow Guards to tear a hole through the enemys formation and slaughter their commander.

In the western city gates, You Longchang and his soldiers found themselves encircled by the Longdu cavalrymen and were nearly wiped out, but a black silhouette suddenly appeared and flitted elusively around the battlefield like a specter. Not only did it help them break out of the encirclement, but it even killed quite a few of Longdus Ki Control martial artists.

Seeing the purple lightning bolts, You Longchangs eyes lit up in excitement. Its Fang Chens subordinates! Fang Chen has made a move!
