Chapter 763: Encirclement

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When it came to numbers, Wind a.s.sault Tower was in an absolute disadvantage. They also did not have any advantage in terms of momentum. It could be said that it was not surprising that Wind a.s.sault Tower will collapse completely because of this.

However, Towering Palace lost more than ten thousand of their elites in this battle in Yangzhou. Right now, even though they sent quite a lot of people out of Yangzhou City and looked as if they cannot be stopped, in truth, they were really just all bark with no bite. Compared to the two thousand elites Phantasmal Shadow chose from Wind a.s.sault Tower, they were much weaker.

Even though their momentum was slightly weaker, with Silver Wolf, Little North, Phantasmal Shadow, and Wu Kuo’s lead, their momentum naturally increased quickly!

“Kill them!”

Silver Wolf led the charge. Before the Towering Palace elites who came at them could react, they were already sent flying away from their horses by a hot palm-generated wind.

“Neigh!”

A shrill neigh rose. One horse could not withstand the great force coming from its master. Its knees caved, and it knelt down violently before the horse and its rider were thrown off the ground.

The people behind it were not much better. Silver Wolf jumped up from the back of the horse and flew over the Towering Palace elites like a phantom. Wherever his palm-generated wind blew, more than ten people near him will be unable to resist his attack, even if they activated their body fortifications. They fell from their horses, and under the mighty inertia, they crashed to the floor in pathetically.

Little North followed closely behind him. He used the b.l.o.o.d.y path Silver Wolf opened and swung his poisonous black claws fearlessly in the crowd. Once a person was struck, those with weak body fortifications will have a b.l.o.o.d.y gash left behind on their bodies by a powerful gust of wind and be infected by poison. The horses will have a large piece of their flesh ripped out, and they will crash to the ground with their riders while they let out a shrill cry.

Ever since Phantasmal Shadow switched weapons with Happy, she held a four-echelon divine whip refined by Heartless Iron. Right now, she swung her whip from the distance, and before the people who charged to her could see Phantasmal Shadow’s attack trajectory clearly, they had already been struck so badly that they felt faint, and they crashed violently from their horses.

In the blink of an eye, the trio led Mu Clan’s forces to mow down Towering Palace’s vanguards and rushed into their main forces! Wind a.s.sault Tower’s forces had their morale largely increase!

“Kill them!”

While they chased after those from Towering Palace, they killed without holding back and let out deafening cries.

Boom!

Both armies clashed into each other. They fought fiercely, and the weaker party was instantly revealed.

Towering Palace might have a strong momentum, but they soon revealed how exhausted they were.

When Wind a.s.sault Tower’s elite forces launched their mighty charge, the side with the advantage in numbers quickly descended into a situation where they were oppressed.

There was a continuous number of Towering Palace members who were cut down from the back of their horses!

“Ack!”

“This is…”

Vast Heaven and Grim Green tugged their reins and stared at what transpired before them in disbelief.

The battlefield was in chaos.

They could vaguely tell just who these people were.

Vast Heaven and Grim Green managed to recognize those forces as those from Wind a.s.sault Tower, one of the three great sects in Beijing.

Regardless of their strength or equipment, these people’s abilities were very close to Mu Clan.

Towering Palace’s members were basically at the second tier when it came to strength, and when they faced Wind a.s.sault Tower’s slaughter after they had been acc.u.mulating their strength for such a long time, the Towering Palace members at the back simply could not handle the fight.

When they saw such a large group of elites charge over, aside from resisting it in groups of three to five people, those who numbered to fewer in number were struck down readily.

Phantasmal Shadow was already extraordinary. Her whip technique was unpredictable, and her enemies can only hear a sonic boom. They cannot see her attack trajectory at all. No one can enter a circular area of thirty-two feet near her.

She charged ahead of the others.

With the st.u.r.dy iron triangle she formed with Silver Wolf and Little North, they viciously tore through a gap in Towering Palace’s formation to provide the Mu Clan elites behind them an easier and better environment to take over the fight!

However, a few minutes later, a slight change finally occurred to the situation.

As Vast Heaven and Grim Green joined the fray while Dragon Sect’s elites also appeared at the frontlines, Towering Palace got out of the absolutely disadvantageous situation they were in.

“Dragon Sect appeared!

“Tower Master Shadow, be careful!”

Once Silver Wolf noticed that a few of her tower members beside her were killed by Dragon Sect members, he quickly gave her a warning.

“Got it,” Phantasmal Shadow answered, but she did not notice that Silver Wolf and Little North did not mind those powerful fighters who had suddenly appeared. Instead, the two of them formed a group and continued charging forward to head further into the depths.

Wherever they went, those who tried to stop them were mowed down!

One of them charged ahead fiercely to attract firepower, while the other occasionally struck with his claws to injure others.

On the way, those from Towering Palace will be continuously poisoned and fall dead.

Both of them moved further ahead the more they killed!

They seemed to be prepared to use their strength to cut their way through thousands of Towering Palace members.

“Careful!”

Phantasmal Shadow did not understand their intentions. She could not leave her main force too far behind, which was why she could only slow down and remind the duo loudly.

She turned around, and her whip brought forth a dazzling afterimage in the air before it entangle a Dragon Sect elite’s neck.

Whoos.h.!.+

Her whip technique was too fast.

Besides, this sort of weapon that was not in popular demand was something that was rarely seen in the real world. The Dragon Sect elite who approached Phantasmal Shadow instantly suffered a huge setback. The pressure around his throat increased, and he found breathing difficult.

He flew from the horse and landed among Wind a.s.sault Tower’s group.

Wind a.s.sault Tower had a group of the best soldiers around who had been following Phantasmal Shadow around since the start of the battle. When they saw that their tower master threw someone over, they showed great teamwork by attacking together.

Saber glares and sword forces attacked together.

While that Dragon Sect elite was still in the air, his body fortification was completely torn to shreds, and he was instantly killed on the spot!

*****

“How arrogant!

“Have someone block Silver Wolf.” When Dragon Sect’s vice sect master caught up to the battlefield, he noticed that Silver Wolf and Little North were causing trouble at the back of their army. His expression turned cold, and he gave his order without hesitation.

“Understood!”

More than ten Dragon Sect elites surrounded them!

*****

“Wind a.s.sault Tower? Phantasmal Shadow?!”

When Clear Music reached the edge of the battlefield, she had already received the news from the scouts.

When she learned that the army of two thousand was personally led to the area outside Yangzhou City by Phantasmal Shadow, her expression was so dark that it was filled with killing intent. “Phantasmal Shadow, what a woman. I knew that she has always had her eyes set on the coastal area. This time, she’s prepared to bet all her chips on Happy! Ha! What a good plan she has!

“Hmph! Even if Towering Palace is destroyed today, we will definitely kill all two thousand of them!”

Then, Clear Music ordered with killing intent laced in her voice. “Surround them on both flanks, and do it slowly! Don’t let even a single one of them live!”

Her gaze was cold as she stared ahead. Clear Music’s heart had already been completely occupied by the intent to kill, and she could no longer accommodate any other thought.

At Towering Palace’s headquarters in Yangzhou were Shangguan Lian and Hai Dongqing. Both of them returned to the meeting hall at the headquarters and prepared defensive measures with great urgency. At the same time, they also placed close attention to the war situation outside Yangzhou City.

When they heard about how those two hundred soldiers suddenly appeared outside the city out of nowhere, both of them hurried before Musical Note.

“Palace master, the south of the coastal area has fallen, and now Wind a.s.sault Tower popped up. There’s nothing else to say about it. They’re definitely here in preparation to work with Mu Clan to fight against Towering Palace! Palace Master Music, stop trying to salvage the situation, it might be difficult for Towering Palace to continue on.”

Shangguan Lian’s tone was grave. He was unlike Vast Heaven and Grim Green, who were recruited later and could only act according to Clear Music’s will. He was part of the founding members of Towering Palace who had stayed the longest, and he could state his own opinion.

“That’s right. We can’t rely on those people from Dragon Sect at all. They can’t even kill Silver Wolf, much less people like One Emperor and Happy. Right now, Happy is about to arrive. If we don’t act sooner, it’ll be too late for everything!”

Hai Dongqing’s distressed voice rang through the rather empty meeting hall in the headquarters.
