Translated by: Berrrybunz

It had to be said, the Red Leaf Army is much stronger than what Tang Tian had imagined, Tang Tian originally thought that with one move, the Red Leaf Army would crumble, bit unexpectedly, the opponent still stood steady.
Sure enough, they deserve to be called a Gold Grade Army!
The opponent’s military general was also very outstanding, faced with over 40 saint’s attacks, not only did they maintain their composure, but they made the correct response, that itself was already pretty outstanding.
Although Tang Tian was not usually very dependable, but once a battle ensued, he would change into another person completely, with sharp, flexible, firm and formidable battle instincts, people who knew him would all exclaim in admiration, even the crazed battle zealot Ling Xu, would also sigh naturally. Ling Xu would heat up in his head and lose all rational during battle, but not Tang Tian.
During a battle, it was the highest point of Tang Tian’s intelligence.
During a battle, was Tang Tian’s coolest moments.
Although he was full of admiration in his heart, Tang Tian did not show any sign of relaxation, he shouted: “Pull high!’
Whoosh!
Every saint lifted their figures together, rose up the sky like a rocket.
Speed, altitude, this was the saints’ advantage, the advantage of knowing how to fly, Tang Tian used it completely. He did not know of complicated strategies, but his outstanding battle instincts let him know how to make use of his own advantage.
43 people floated in the air, everyone looked at Tang Tian, although the battle had only just begun, but Tang Tian’s performance just now already won the trust of everyone.
Tang Tian already had an idea, he said: “In a moment, we will charge down as we did previously. However this time, first throw a sea of clouds, then everyone will throw down their spirit techniques, best being explosive spirit techniques. Once thrown, immediately pull back high up.”
The other people looked at each other in dismay, a few others hesitated.
Everyone felt that the Master was truly too careful, with so many saints against an army, was it not very easy? Even so, so many saints, to beat an army was already bullying, everyone actually did not even give some face but still use little tricks……
Of course, this was only the unspoken criticism in the stomachs, no one dared to speak out.
“Master’s idea is really exquisite!” Meng Ta said in appraisal.
The others despised this in their hearts, in the past they heard that Meng Ta was a good chap, they did not think that he would be such a bootlicker without a backbone.
Meng Ta had already noticed the disapproval in others eyes, he laughed coldly in his heart, Idiots! Wait till the training of the spirit treasure, let’s just see how unyielding all your resolve is!
Even so a few capable saints looked pensive. Their master looked to be one who talked most about profits, he did not bother about false reputation, did not talk about extravagance, he was pragmatic!
Tang Tian completely did not think that the others would have so many opinions, of course, even if he knew, he did not care.
Just being obedient will do, if they were not obedient, then he will hit till they are obedient, Tang Tian’s ideas were all the very easy all the while, he did not care what others think in their hearts, anyway this bunch of guys already signed the contract to sell themselves.
“Are you prepared?” Tang Tian shouted and waited for a short while, he screamed: “Charge Charge Charge!”
43 shadows, charged at high speeds once again into the establishment.
A shrill, sharp whistle, once again shrouded the sky.
Although the army had already consumed one third of their energy, but they were not defeated, this also made Red Leaf Army heave a sigh of relief, their confidence greatly increased.
It turns out that saints were not as scary as imagined! Many soldiers started to think, and a few gold ranked martial artists who had immense strength, were eager to give it a try.
Jones’ face was gloomy, his heart was not the least bit happy, in contrast, he had a strong ominous premonition in his heart. The strength of the saints was not enough to make him fearful, however if the saints knew how to make use of their advantage, it would be far from good.
As a military leader, how would he not have researched on their strategic high level military force? From what it seems, the whole Heaven’s Road’s understanding of the use of saints, was still rather low level.
On one hand, they were in peaceful times for too long, on another hand, the status of saints is too high. military leaders were basically unable to mobilize saints, even those saints which followed the team, were only good enough to be the role of a high level bodyguard, their army status’ were extraordinary, military leaders had difficulty giving them instructions.
Fighting against saints now, in essence, was no different from a gang fight, everyone found their own opponents, then fought to the death.
Up till just now, 43 saints charged into the establishment, attacked at the same time, then hurriedly pulled up, it was a strange tactic, making Jones sense danger.
Because he realized, he basically could not defeat such a tactic.
The opponent charged into the establishment once again, Jones perked his spirits up, waiting with rapt attention. The opponents had learned from the lesson earlier, they were now charging into the establishment from different directions, Jones could only laugh bitterly in his heart, other than defending, he basically had no chance of counterattack.
This time, he did not choose to use [Red Leaf], [Red Leaf] was a type of formation that waited for an attack. However against a saint, [Red Leaf]’s attack was not effective, that way in fact wasted the real energy of the soldiers.
“Dome Shield!”
Jones shouted loudly, the Red Leaf Army suddenly lit up with a bright light aura, a crescent light barrier appeared above the Red Leaf Army. The light ray was just like an enormous glass dome, that appeared above the heads of the Red Leaf Army.
[Dome Shield] was specially used against attacks from the sky, it did not have any counter-attacking ability, but its defense was not weaker than [Red Leaf], what is important was, the consumption of True power was much lesser.
Suddenly, a white fog floated in front of Jones’s eyes, he suddenly became cautious.
“Be careful!”
The words had not set, these white fog came quickly, in a blink of an eye, his eyes were snowy white, the surrounding was entirely filled with white fog, condensed and not dispersing.
No Good!
[Sea of Clouds]!
When the connection of a person was suddenly broken off and isolated, the majority would panic sub-consciously. This was a type of instinct, only having gone through vigorous training, would a person be able to overcome it. Red Army which was formed not long ago, it obviously had not overcome that test.
The shrill, sharp whistle got closer without stopping, it made everyone feel that the death reaper was charging towards them.
The Red Leaf Army immediately became chaotic, the chaos made many fluctuations appear on the Dome Shield.
“Steady yourself!”
Jones shouted, before he was heard, an intense explosion on the Dome Shield!
Bang Bang Bang!
The deafening explosion, a series of explosion made the originally violently fluctuating Dome Shield explode into pieces, Jones was hit with a great impact, he spat out fresh blood.
More exploding spirit techniques were thrown in the midst.
Bang Bang Bang!
The Red Leaf Army completely broke down, those soldiers who fell into fear, were charging outside like madman. And those gold ranked martial artists, had similarly lost their heads out of fear at this moment and tried to escape with all their might. In addition, in the Sea of Clouds, it was difficult to differentiate the enemy and friendlies, fear made everyone lose their rationale, some people punched out because they were blocked, it immediately created a chaotic battle.
Within the Sea of clouds, it had become a Field of Asuras.
Jones shut his eyes in despair, he knew it was finished, he had not thought that a [Sea of Clouds] would actually make them break down completely. Fresh blood flowed from his mouth, it soaked his clothes, he received the heaviest impact from the spirit techniques. Military leaders were the pivot of the comb and where True Power converged, similarly, when an attack arrives, the energy would be transmitted to him first. If the formation maintained complete, the unity of will would be a stronghold, these impacts would be dispersed layer by layer, the whole army would absorb the burden of the attack, so everyone would not be injured.
However, the army was already messy just now, these impacts were not able to be dispersed, hence he was the first to be heavily injured.
It truly is a pity…… I am unable to avenge you…..
If I had been stricter for the army’s training……
He knew that his thoughts were too ridiculous, although he was the Chief Commander, he had never truly controlled this army. Although the gold branch made this army’s soldiers quality more outstanding, but it also caused the army not to fully trust its Chief Commander.
Commanding such an army, really pathetic……
His gaze was increasingly disorganized, he shut his eyes, exhausted, he did not want to watch the following massacre.
The judgement before Jones died was correct, the situation quickly became a massacre.
Every saint, was birthed from stepping on blood and countless battles and slaughters. None of them were compassionate and had lenient hearts. Even so, they were very clear that this was a battle, this battle had no grounds for mercy or buffer.
43 saints, sealed the four corners of the Sea of Clouds, every martial artist that charged from the coud sea would be sliced.
Following the elapse of time, the sound and breath of Sea of Clouds slowly stopped, no one charged out anymore.
Sea of Clouds was currently dyed with the colour of blood, making it look strangely terrifying and enchanting.
The saints quickly dispersed the Sea of Clouds, there was already nobody standing inside, the entire ground of bodies. The whole army, fell like that, blood flowed like a river, the air filled with a nose piercing stench of fresh blood.
Meng Ta and the rest did not have too much joy of victory on their faces, they only had silence and shock.
This was war!
It was different from the other battles they experienced before. When war is displayed in front of everyone, even saints who are used to see life and death, will be stunned by the bitterness of war.
“Clean up the battle ground!”
Tang Tian’s voice broke the silence, only he had a normal expression. He was the youngest amongst these people, but after considerations, he experienced the most war among the rest.
He quickly swept the battlefield with a normal expression.
Everyone was looking at Tang Tian in a different light.
The majority of them were previously not very pleased with Tang Tian, they even felt that Ursa Major Constellation was not very strong. If not for the humiliation and threat Fu Ying made on them, they would never had chosen to surrender to Ursa Major Constellation.
That was being forced by circumstances, majority of their hearts were as such. Which was exactly why, they did not trust Tang Tian too much, Tang Tian’s power amongst them, was also not considered the strongest.
Many of them even felt that Tang Tian was a kid that had very good luck. Although he was of a young age, honestly unbelievably young, he relied on his own strength to defeat Ursa Major constellation.
Until just now.
When everyone was surprised by the cruelty of the war, Tang Tian still displayed a calm performance, he was so calm as though it was just another normal day to him. They then realized, this young teenager, was far from as simple as they saw him.
Thinking back of the process of the battle, Tang Tian’s commands were not too complicated or had too high a level of tactics, even the last result, almost did not deserve much praise, almost like it was supposed to be.
However, the smarter people realized, they did not have any casualties, even in the entire process of battle, they did not face even a small bit of danger.
They had a sudden realization.
This young lad was not simple!
