I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 643: Chapter Six Hundred Thirty-Nine: Jubilance (Needs several monthly tickets to stabilize the situation, kiss kiss!)

Inside Qianyun Peak, spurred on by the enormous benefits, the formidable warriors of the Fierce Realm who had gathered showed amazing cooperation.

After all, everyone here was an elite martial artist, a regional powerhouse. Before the flood, they were all heads of a tribe or leaders of a faction.

Perhaps it was because they once held high positions, they understood the importance of dividing into battle zones and not rushing in. Even though they were itching for action, they still patiently waited in the hall for the arrangements.

Tang Zuo divided these warriors into six battle zones, and from Qianyun Peak, they launched an attack on the Mi Clan’s alliance army that was besieging Xiao Valley from six routes.

Many present were skilled in the art of war, and they were puzzled by Tang Zuo’s arrangement.

According to the current marching arrangement, although it could inflict massive damage on the Mi Clan alliance army, it still left them with considerable room for retreat. Even if the defensive center of Xiangyun Valley collapsed, half of the alliance army would still escape.

If the commander of the Mi Clan’s alliance army was calm and resolute enough, they could have gathered their Martial Ancestors to withstand the attack while fighting and retreating to secure more space for the majority of their army.

Even though there were nearly three hundred Martial Ancestors present, without a sufficient number of Mortal Realm troops pressing forward, their attacking power against the tens of thousands of the alliance army still appeared weak.

Hence, the result of this first wave of attack was what everyone cared most about, because once the Mi Clan was prepared and formed a troop formation, the risk of a successful surprise attack would significantly increase.

After hearing Tang Zuo’s arrangement for the battle zones, a few patriarchs said loudly, “Captain Tang, do we need to arrange for a team to wrap around the enemy’s rear?”

Though it was a question, and the language was very polite, who would not understand the meaning of the implication? In fact, even if these patriarchs hadn’t spoken up, some small teams had already been contemplating whether to break away from the battle zone and flank the enemy’s rear.’

After all, once the battle began, the Mi Clan alliance army would surely organize their Martial Ancestors to hold the front lines, buying time for the other warriors in the back to retreat. In that case, the enemy’s rear would become the best hunting ground.

But now that this plan had been mentioned by some patriarchs, those teams that originally planned to do so frowned in discontent, feeling their plans were spoiled.

Tang Zuo, standing on the platform, first gave a smile and a nod to those who had suggested the idea, and then said, “Your considerations are very thorough, gentlemen. However, our people have already been arranged for the enemy’s rear. Please carry out the original attack plan, lest there be accidents due to reckless actions.”

Several patriarchs of large cities were enlightened, but most others were skeptical. Tang Zuo didn’t bother to explain further and just continued arranging for the battle zones and personnel allocation.

…

The encirclement of Xiangyun Valley at the North Mountain.

When Xiao Jinlin led a fully equipped group of Martial Ancestors of the Xiao Clan under the guidance of the second elder of the Mi Clan to the North Mountain, the morale of the allied warriors rose significantly.

Just like Mi Jin had predicted, the arrival of a first-rate fighter was always the best morale booster, no matter when.

Despite their exhaustion from continuous assaults against the massive martial formation, the sight of the warriors of Xiao Clan still ignited their zeal.

Especially some leaders of the alliance army and powerful fighters from various clans, they all left their own camps to meet with Xiao Jinlin.

The passionate martial ancestors and soldiers surrounded the Xiao Clan’s martial ancestors, making the entire mountain peak lively with the hustle and bustle.

Seeing everyone’s excitement, Mi Bufu said to a few leaders who had come to the front: “Who this person is, doesn’t need my introduction, right!?”

After a hearty laugh, the commander-in-chief of the alliance army, Mi Hai, joked, “I was going to ask the Wind Media to inform our clan leader to not rush the attack on the battle formation. After all, the alliance needs to maintain enough strength to deal with a possible attack from the Tang Clan. But now that Clan Leader Xiao is here, I can rest easy!”

Xiao Jinlin nodded to Mi Hai, “Sect Head Mi speaks too highly.”

“How can it be exaggerated!” standing next to Mi Hai, the senior patriarch Mi Yang said earnestly, “Your Monument Dragon Diagram has been practiced to an unparalleled level. Even my divine power and divine law can hardly withstand the two Divine Dragon Shadows. In terms of damage caused, you are number one in Xiling. Now that we are on the same side, we are impregnable on both offense and defense, which is excellent!”

The Mi Clan had been holding onto their two trump cards just to guard against possible moves from the Xiao Clan on the Red Cloud Mountain. Although they did not know what trick Clan Leader Mi Jin used to persuade Xiao Jinlin to side with them, since this most powerful warrior in Xiling was willing to cooperate, their top-tiered warriors did not mind creating some momentum for him to show respect.

Having praised Xiao Jinlin, Mi Hai then shouted towards the approaching martial ancestors, “All right, don’t crowd around any more. Clan Leader Xiao will be stationed on the North Mountain; there will be plenty of time to meet him in the future. Except for a few leaders, everyone should return to their own defense areas.”

Having dispersed the crowd, Sect Head Mi Hai turned back to Xiao Jinlin, “Clan Leader Xiao, let me introduce you to the leaders of the various forces attacking Xiangyun Valley at the moment.”

“For the defense team of North of Xiangyun Valley on Dayou Mountain, we have Wan Qianyi, the warrior of Wan family.”

“For the defense team of Northeast of Xiangyun Valley on Zhenwen Mountain, we have Bai Qi, the warrior of the Bai family.”

“For the defense team of East of Xiangyun Valley on Longjiao Mountain, we have Pan Bing, the warrior of the Pan family.”

“For the defense team of Southeast of Xiangyun Valley on Baoding Mountain, we have Mi Tianxin, the warrior of the Mi Clan.”

Mi Hai introduced each of the alliance army leaders in the North Mountain to Xiao Jinlin one by one, and Xiao Jinlin also greeted each of them earnestly until Mi Hai introduced the South Mountain’s general, Cao Xiong. Xiao Jinlin suddenly stopped and asked Mi Hai: “Is this the Counterpart of the Corpse King, Cao Clan Leader who could overpower a god of the soil?”

Seeing the unexpected reaction from Xiao Jinlin, who had only responded with faint nods to the other top-tiered warriors, Cao Xiong felt surprisingly flattered.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

After all, their generation of martial artists in Xiling had grown up mostly with legends about Xiao Jinlin. Becoming a clan leader like Xiao Jinlin was their lifelong goal.

It could be said that Xiao Jinlin was the only idol of their generation of martial artists. Although this sort of admiration would fade away gradually with age.

But being named by his childhood idol in such a place was still a thrilling experience for Cao Xiong, and he modestly said with his hands cupped in front, “It’s merely due to the capabilities of my clan’s unique martial arts technique, it’s nothing worth mentioning.”

Though he was modest in speech, his triumphant look couldn’t be concealed. If one were to mention the standout warriors in this battle beside Xiangyun Valley, Cao Xiong definitely had to be one of them.

Using the Corpse King technique to turn soil into swamp, he pinned the heads of the Tang Clan, renowned as the ‘Divine Spirits of Land,’ making parts of the Xiangyun Valley that were not covered by the massive martial formation turn into a swamp.

Even if the Tang Clan wanted to break through, their Powerful Transcending Realm warriors would find it impossible to escape. Cao Xiong was one of the most meritorious front-liners in the allied army, and also one of their most protected.
