Chapter 1094: Ferocious Tigers of the Army
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire action
The thirty-nine battle teams proceeded forward while exuding a sense of majesticness as they headed towards the battlefield.
Right now the two sides of Yuan City were already surrounded by enemies and the soldiers were galloping their way. However, the Thousand Transformations Army was directly rushing in the direction of Han City of the Jing Prefecture, planning to use their entire military strength to plunder the enemy’s base city.
Immortal wars are different from human wars. Immortals weren’t troubled by things like city moats and a sturdy gate. The main point during immortal wars was to vanquish their opponents. It was useless simply to occupy a place because if one’s opponent is strong enough, they can easily seize the place back. There was no point at all. The main criteria in immortal wars is always a single factor - strength.
This is the reason why the Eastern Sage Army didn’t seize Yuan City all this while and kept launching attacks to kill the soldiers of the Thousand Transformations Army. As long as their opponents were all slaughtered, they didn’t even need to do anything extra. The Thunder Prefecture would simply belong to them.
In the immortal realms, strength speaks the loudest.
The Thousand Transformations Army directly chose to forsake Yuan City and was killing their way to the opponent’s base because they wanted to avoid being bombarded with the complete concentrated strength of their opponents when staying at a single location. General Niu understood the overall strength of the Thousand Transformations Army was inferior hence he chose to do this.
At this moment, at a location a few hundred meters away from Yuan City, the elite teams of both armies were clashing violently. The elite teams of the Eastern Sage Army here contained over 50,000 experts and reinforcements were constantly rushing over to bolster their strength from those teams which were responsible for besieging Yuan City. Hence, the Thousand Transformations Army was at a disadvantage. If they couldn’t break past the defense of the Eastern Sage Army in a short period of time, they would all be overrun and face attacks from three directions.
And at this moment, numerous flashes of bright light erupted as a gigantic screen of blinding light manifested in the sky. In numerous positions, soldiers could be seen there. There was a total of 5,000 people and these were all from elite teams that were sent here through a spatial-transference array. They were long prepared and were hidden in the shadows. They were just waiting for this opportunity to destroy the Thousand Transformations Army in a single move.

However, their own formations were disintegrated as well. Right now, soldiers of both armies reassembled into smaller battle teams and continued the war in small-scale type combat and the death count piled up unceasingly.
The 5,000 elites in the air rushed down, assembling into team formations of a hundred pax. Each battle team consisted of an extremely high combat prowess and the avatar formed was like that of a devil king, containing boundless might.
In the air, the military governor immortal king of the Thousand Transformations Army had an unsightly expression on his face. Their elites were currently contending against the elites of the Eastern Sage Army and right now, the appearance of these 5,000 more elites caught him totally by surprise. These 5,000 elites were like tigers descending on a flock of sheep, instantly tearing through the ranks of the Thousand Transformations Army, causing extreme panic. If this continued, they basically wouldn’t be able to break through the defense of their opponents and continue their attack towards Han City. Most probably as the reinforcements joined them, the Thousand Transformations Army would suffer a crushing defeat.
No wonder the Eastern Sage Army didn’t retreat but chose to fight head-on, seems like they were long prepared. The Eastern Sage Army was truly determined to exterminate the Thousand Transformations Army stationed at the Yuan City of Thunder Prefecture and begin their overtaking of the Thunder Prefecture after the army falls.
As long as they can annihilate the Thousand Transformations Army stationed here in Yuan City completely, the drop in morale would affect the other brigades of the Thousand Transformations Army, and in the future, the immortal-foundation experts of the Thunder Prefecture would also have to consider carefully if they wanted to be recruited into it. After all, with a history of an entire brigade being annihilated, who else would still dare to join the Thousand Transformations Army to fight against the Eastern Sage Army?
The current battle situation was extremely disadvantageous to the Thousand Transformations Army. Their own experts panicked and rushed ahead without thought. Those 5,000 newly arrived experts took the opportunity and instantly destroyed over ten small team battle formations and killed over a thousand immortal-foundation experts. If this continued on, the victor would be the Eastern Sage Army for sure.
From afar, a group of experts rushed over. This was none other than Qin Wentian’s regiment. Before this, they already saw the Eastern Sage Army employing their methods and sending 5,000 experts over. Qin Wentian knew that the situation was extremely bad hence he made his regiment up their speed. They finally caught up and arrived at the battlefield.
"Kill them all. Exterminate that devil avatar battle formation." Qin Wentian coldly commanded. Those 5,000 experts who arrived earlier was none other than the devil regiment of the Eastern Sage Army. They were under the control of a battle general named the Undefeatable Devil King who was under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. These people were all extremely powerful devil cultivators and were proficient with devilish energy. All of them were exceptionally tyrannical in combat.
Qin Wentian also killed his way into the crowd. When the remnants of the Thousand Transformations Army saw Qin Wentian appearing here, all of them grew incomparably excited. They knew that Qin Wentian’s battle team was an extremely strong one from his past exploits.
In a few short moments, the battle formation Qin Wentian controlled had already arrived in front of a devil avatar formation. The devil avatar roared and turned about, blasting out a devilish palm strike. Qin Wentian responded in kind as two gigantic palm imprints collided into one another, the impact causing everyone nearby to feel as though the heavens and earth were being torn apart.
The eyes of the experts within the devil avatar formation flickered. This battle formation led by Qin Wentian actually wasn’t inferior to them.
With a roar, Qin Wentian’s form expanded as the demon ox avatar expanded as well. His voice then thundered out, "You guys continue to attack Han City. Let us handle these devil avatar formations."
A light shimmered as an ox demon king manifested, launching a blast of demon dragon energy attack, blasting towards the enemy’s formation. The devil avatar formation also manifested a devil king. The heavens shook and earth trembled as immortal energy gushed forth frenziedly.
"ROAR!" The demon ox let out an earth-shattering bellow. Both its hooves shimmered with a divine glow and slammed downwards with enough power to annihilate everything. There seemed to be demonic dragons dancing wildly in the center of its hooves. Upon impact, the devil king actually shattered. The hooves of the demon ox was indomitable as it continued crushing towards the battle formation.
The experts within the devil formation howled with madness. Numerous spears manifested and shot out only to see them being crushed by pure power. As the hooves blasted into the body of the battle formation, the entire battle formation shuddered as it disintegrated. The experts within were all jolted so badly that they coughed out blood.
"KILL!" Qin Wentian roared. The gigantic hooves blasted out, instantly claiming the lives of over half of the enemies. At the same time, the battle team formations in the surroundings all attacked as well. In a short instant, everyone in this devil avatar battle team was wiped out completely, deader than dead.
At the same time the large battle formations under Qin Wentian’s control were all extremely powerful. They fought against the other devil avatars and clashed violently with their opponents. In addition to the fact Qin Wentian just destroyed a battle formation earlier, the morale of the Thousand Transformations Army increased greatly as they roared with battle-lust.
"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!" A thunderous rumbling sound akin to a tidal-wave boomed out. The governor then commanded, "Continue the attack, tear apart their defenses!"
"KILL THEM ALL!" Roars shook the sky, the experts from the Thousand Transformations Army killed their way over heedless of any price. They also knew they didn’t really have a lot of time, they had to destroy the defense of their opponent and rush to Han City as soon as possible.
The morale situation of both armies instantly turned. The Thousand Transformations Army started to attack their enemies with a frenzy akin to a crazed bull and a ferocious tiger, swiftly killing their way into the heart of their opponents, killing countless opponents.
Qin Wentian’s battle formation shot towards another side of the battlefield. He didn’t solo against a devil avatar battle formation, but was coordinating efforts together with an expert from the Battle Saint Tribe, surrounding the enemies before launching three rounds of ferocious attacks, wiping them out with no mercy within the span of a few breaths.
"Continue to kill." Qin Wentian’s voice was ice-cold. The 5,000 elites of the Eastern Sage Army dared to kill their way into the heart of the Thousand Transformations Army because of the simple fact that they were elites. With the bulk of their forces arrayed elsewhere, there would not be enough soldiers to contend against these elites, leading to panic and chaos in the Thousand Transformations Army. This strategy by the Eastern Sage Army was brilliant indeed. It was just that they didn’t expect Qin Wentian to lead the experts from the Battle Saint Tribe over.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAn expert from the Battle Saint Tribe controlled the battle formation. With the Battle Saint Art, he radiated boundless strength. God’s Hand was something evolved from the foundations of this unique art, and it was an incomparable battle technique. Even if it had no way to suppress the opponent, it wouldn’t be defeated. As long as it could delay the enemy, it was good enough.
Qin Wentian continously attacked, destroying the devil avatars in a short period of time, causing the expressions of the immortal kings from the Eastern Sage Army to turn incredibly ugly. "For those battle formations who are still alive, retreat immediately!"
"Where do you think you can run to?" Qin Wentian coldly snorted. The destructive might blasted into a battle formation again, destroying the immortal-foundation experts within. When he saw the other devil avatar formations soaring away, Qin Wentian gave a command, "Ignore them, come with me."
As he spoke, he sped ahead, leading these experts to support the others in fighting against the elites of the Eastern Sage Army. The coordination between Qin Wentian’s regiment and the others of the Thousand Transformations Army was simply seamless. The Eastern Sage Army’s elites couldn’t stand up to them at all. Only a short period of time passed as many battle formations were destroyed. The battle situation quickly turned to an overwhelming advantage for the Thousand Transformations Army.
"Fight as you retreat, do not panic. Reinforcements are arriving soon." The immortal king of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect roared.
"Increase the intensity of the attacks." The Immortal King of the Thousand Transformations Army commanded. Right now they possess an overwhelming advantage in terms of combat strength, they wanted to grab hold of this opportunity and deal a heavy blow to their opponent.
Under their joint effort, the Eastern Sage Army suffered casualties every second. They gradually gathered together and fought valiantly with their lives on the line as they retreated. Their losses grew increasingly heavy.
"Reinforcements have arrived." An expert of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect spoke. Over ten thousand experts were killing their way over from the back of the Thousand Transformations Army
"Reinforcements?" The military governor of the Thousand Transformations Army sneered. "So what if the reinforcements arrived now? My Thousand Transformations Army right now already possesses the overall advantage, why would we fear your reinforcements? Everyone hear my orders, split up and engage your own battles at your leisure."
"KILL!" The morale of the Thousand Transformations Army surged skyhigh. That’s right, they had already inflicted heavy casualties on the Eastern Sage Army, why would they care about reinforcements now? Their combat strength is no longer inferior, so what if they went all out in a head-on clash?
Right now several battle team formations behind were making their way over to support the Eastern Sage Army. Qin Wentian also turned his head, he has already exterminated many elite teams from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and right now, he could afford not to participate so intensely on the main battlefield.
"COME WITH ME. WE WILL SLAY THEM ALL!" Qin Wentian roared, leading all thirty-nine battleteams deeper into the fray, aiming to slaughter those reinforcements of the Eastern Sage Army.
