Chapter 1438: Ambush

Chapter 1438: Ambush

An hour later, the situation in Yinfeng City had basically stabilized. The city defensive enchantment was basically repaired.

After a “pong“, a huge gap opened above the yellow tower-shaped enchantment. Amidst the whistling sound, the entire Blood Lion Legion army was dispatched. There were countless figures in the air.

Tens of thousands of people flew toward the Liu Family’s stronghold outside Yinfeng City. It was like a dark cloud covering the sky and the earth.

What followed was a battle with the Liu Family’s rebel who invaded Yin State. The Blood Lion Legion did not take the giant ships, and even the 10 Sun Moon Battleships were not seen.

In the center of the Blood Lion Legion, there was a giant flying chariot that was slowly flying forward.

The chariot carried a three-story bright yellow wooden tower. 3 pairs of lifelike wooden wings measuring several feet in size were evenly arranged on the chariot. The wings were engraved with demonic patterns, imbuing them with countless purple glows.

At the top of the tower, Huangfu Yupo stood leaning on the railing. Liu Ming, Zhao Qianying, Huangfu Jiangu, and others were all there, as well as the black-armored burly man Huangfu Peng, the original garrison commander of Yinfeng City.

“Elder Yupo, the Black Wind Mountain where the Liu Family’s rebel is stationed is flat, but the mountain is often filled with black mist. Be careful of the ambush by the Liu Family in the mist.” Huangfu Peng said cautiously.

“It doesn’t matter. I have already arranged this matter, you don’t have to worry.” Huangfu Yupo said faintly.

Huangfu Peng responded and took a few steps back.

To the left of Huangfu Yupo, Zhao Qianying stood against the wind. Her purple hair was dancing against the biting cold wind.

Although she was a princess and her cultivation had reached the Celestial State intermediate stage, it was her first time to participate in such a large-scale formal battle. She was inevitably a little excited. Her delicate cheeks seemed rosy, adding some charm to her.

Her stunning appearance seemed a bit out of place with the current chilling war formation, but it also formed a sharp contrast. Although there were many demon soldiers around who coveted her beauty, they knew their lowly status, so most of them only dared to peek at her from a distance and never dared to look directly at her openly.

Huangfu Yupo seemed to be intentionally placing Liu Ming beside Zhao Qianying.

Speaking of which, Zhao Qianying still had some complicated feelings about this man who unintentionally took away her Yuan Yin. Although she would form a dual cultivation with him, except for the Demon Emperor, her master and a few other high-ranking officials in the Imperial, this matter wasn’t publicly announced. Therefore, she deliberately kept a certain distance from Liu Ming.

The thoughtful Liu Ming had already discovered something strange from the changes in Zhao Qianying’s expression and behavior.

However, he had no intention of avoiding suspicion. He stood beside Zhao Qianying, sniffing the refreshing fragrance of Zhao Qianying, while looking around casually.

Speaking of which, this was not the first time he had participated in a large-scale battle, but the formation of the Blood Lion Legion wasn’t disordered at all despite its large size. The 8 brigades were vaguely arranged according to a certain pattern, which amazed him.

Liu Ming didn’t know much about military formations, but he knew a little bit about formations. He knew that with such a formation was not afraid of being ambushed.

In addition, he also knew something about the arrangements Huangfu Yupo said. Not long before their departure, a squad was sent out by Huangfu Yupo to scout the enemy’s situation.

On the right side of Huangfu Yupo, Huangfu Jiangu had his hands behind his back. His face was full of pride. Although he secretly looked at Liu Ming from the corner of his eye from time to time, his eyes were full of disdain and jealousy.

…

At the same time, the base of the Liu Family in Black Wind Mountain.

The gray-robe man who had led troops to besiege Yinfeng City was now holding a white communication disk array. The light on the surface of the disk array was gradually dimming. At the same time, gray-robed man’s face turned grim.

“They attack so fast…” The gray-robe man murmured to himself.

He just received news that the entire Blood Lion Legion was heading straight to the base.

Although he was a little surprised at the speed of the Blood Lion Legion’s actions, although the Liu Family’s army had just retreated due to being caught off guard, it did not suffer much damage due to its quick response. After a short rest, it had already recovered.

“Hmph! Come just in time. We were surprised by the ambush from the previous battle, so we had to retreat first. Now it’s just time for the Huangfu Family to experience the power of the ancient demon corpses.” The gray-robed man put away the communication disk array and sneered.

“Elder Ruan, since the Huangfu Family dares to come, they are probably fully prepared. Although we have the demon corpses on our side, we should still be careful.” Beside the gray-robed man, a silver-haired and silver-eyebrowed man said.

This person was dressed in gray brocade clothes and looked somewhat elegant. His cultivation level was about the Celestial State early stage, but his eyes showed a hint of wisdom from time to time. He seemed to be a military strategist.

“Oh, does Elder Qi have a good plan?” Upon hearing this, the gray-robed man looked the brocade-clothed old man.

This brocade-clothed old man had always been tactical. Even Family Master Liu Huifeng respected him. Therefore, although the gray-robed man was at the Mystic Comprehending State, he was still very polite to him.

“Elder Ruan, I have a plan that may work.” The brocade-clothed old man rolled his eyes twice, and he showed a sly smile.

…

Dozens of miles in front of the Blood Lion Legion, more than 10,000 vanguard troops were flying forward while investigating the surrounding situation.

The commander of the vanguard, a red-haired burly man wearing purple-patterned armor, was flying at the front.

More than 10 people were lined up horizontally behind him. Below them, many demon soldiers with standard armor were arranged into hundreds of neat small battle formations. They slowly unfolded in the air and formed a new large battle formation.

Most of these demon soldiers were only at the Condensation Period and Crystallization Period cultivation, but the battle formation they formed was still overwhelming.

Black Wind Mountain was not too far from Yinfeng City. Less than half an hour later, the vanguard troops were less than 10 miles away from the Black Wind Mountain.

A large rolling black mountain range lay ahead. The mountains were steep and strange. At the same time, a faint black mist began to appear in the surroundings.

“All on alert!”

The red-haired burly man seemed to notice something strange and shouted loudly.

“Commander, I have asked the defenders in Yinfeng City before. This mist is common in the Black Wind Mountain. It shouldn’t be the trap of the enemy.” A tall and thin man approached the red-haired burly man and reported.

“Hmph! Regardless of whether it is the enemy’s trap or not, be careful. The terrain and environment here are most suitable for an ambush.” ​​The red-haired burly man said in a deep voice.

The tall and thin man hurriedly affirmed. Under the instructions of the red-haired burly man, military commands were passed on one after another.

Although mist began to appear around them, the vanguard troops were originally used to scout the path. The troops did not slow down and continued to fly forward cautiously.

As they just flew a few miles forward, there were thumping sounds in the mist ahead, which seemed to be the sound of war drums.

The red-haired burly man hurriedly made a gesture, and more than 10,000 vanguard troops stopped immediately.

The dark mist rolled violently in front and on both sides. Countless gray-armored demons slowly appeared, vaguely forming 3 square formations. The total number of demons was about 6,000.

It was the Liu Family’s army!

The other party appeared without any warning, and the distance between the two sides was now less than one mile.

“Commander, the distance is too close. I don’t know if they have reinforcements. But if we retreat now, the other party may attack us from behind!” Beside the red-haired burly man, the tall and thin man said to the red-haired burly man anxiously.

“Hmph, we outnumber them. Tell the soldiers to attack at full force and finish it quickly!”

The red-haired burly man naturally noticed the awkwardness of the situation at this time. He pointed forward with his right hand and gave the order decisively.

At the same time, he took out a communication disk array and launched a symbol into it. A purple light curtain emerged on the disk array. As a ripple spread out, Huangfu Yupo’s face gradually emerged in the light curtain.

“Elder Yupo, we are ambushed by thousands of Liu Family’s troops lurking in the thick mist 3 miles ahead of Black Wind Mountain. We have launched an all-out attack!” The red-haired burly man reported quickly.

When the red-haired burly man was reporting, the troops of both sides had already begun to fight.

Incantations sounded from both sides, then spell lights and demonic weapon lights were shot at each other.

Various lights collided in mid-air. Most of them dissipated by the opposing attacks, but many of the attacks landed on the opponent’s camp.

Boom!

There was a series of muffled sounds and screams. The first round of attacks injured more than a hundred people on both sides.

“If the other party is setting up an ambush, the number seems to be a little small… Act according to the situation. Don’t blindly pursue. Wait for us to come!” Huangfu Yupo said in a deep voice.

“I will live up to Commander’s expectations!” Upon hearing this, the red-haired burly man immediately accepted the order.

The purple light curtain flickered twice and dissipated. The red-haired man quickly retrieved the communication disk array.

“Release the Blood Lion Shield!” The red-haired burly man roared.

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen deputy generals around him dispersed to both sides and chanted simultaneously. A dozen huge blood-colored shield-shaped light curtains slowly rose up, barely covering the front of the vanguard troop.

As soon as the shield was generated, the second round of attacks also started simultaneously.

More than a hundred purple-robed figures flew out of the Blood Lion Legion’s vanguard troop. Each of them held a purple flag.

As they launched symbols into the purple flags, the purple flags shone and unfolded, revealing the dragon pattern on the center of the flag.

The dragons’ eyes suddenly opened as if they were about to fly out from the flags. The purple flags shot thick purple fire beams toward a battle formation of the Liu Family. The space seemed to be split into hundreds. The momentum was astonishing.
