Chapter 368: The Power of the Formation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The valleys formed by giant mountains in the area started to crumble under the attack from the roars of both groups of soldiers. The aura given off by the two set of armies could rival that of a fighter in the Transcendence Realm.
“Tiger Style Formation, Descent of the Meng Tiger!”
With a loud roar from Chen Yanzhi, the Chen Family soldiers before her started to wave their long spears in the sky. In an instant, the atmosphere was engulfed by energy as a giant Meng Tiger was formed. The tiger immediately charged towards the opposition.
However, the opponent was no pushover either. The Chen Family soldiers on the other side all unleashed their own energy, creating an energy wave as wide as the ocean. In an instant, a giant eagle was formed. Flapping its wings, the eagle let out a long, deafening screech before pouncing towards the Meng Tiger.
The eagle and the tiger fought in the air, with the tiger biting and the eagle scratching with its sharp claws. Ye Mo also realised that the movements of the eagle and the tiger were controlled by the two groups of soldiers, with every soldier’s action extremely standardised and uniform.
“Roar of the Meng Tiger!”
Yanzhi roared, once again commanding her army. Her opposition started to change their movement. As the Meng Tiger let out a ferocious roar, the eagle in the sky evidently cowered in fear.
Taking advantage of the chance, the Meng Tiger landed a paw strike on the eagle, and an explosion followed. The giant eagle in the air disintegrated in an instant, scattering energy in all directions. As for Yanzhi’s opponent’s army, all of the soldiers were sent flying backwards, with rows and rows of soldiers toppling like dominoes.
“Such strength. I initially assumed that based on my current strength, I would be able to kill hundreds and thousands of Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters if they came at me. If it was the Chen Family army that came at me, I would definitely have not been able to block a Meng Tiger attack!”
Ye Mo’s heart was shaken – this was the true definition of war. Not one fighting against another, but the whole group unleashing strength as a team that is hundreds of times stronger than any individual.
If the opposition did not show any form of teamwork, even a whole of group of True Energy Realm fighters might not be able to defeat the Chen Family army under Yanzhi’s command.
“Impressive. Seems like they are really engaging in a military demonstration!” Yun Chuchu said as she continued watching what was going on.
“Lady Yanzhi, your Meng Tiger Formation is adept in offence and defence. The army under your command is also more dominant than ours – admirable indeed.” The general sitting atop the giant mammoth placed his hands together as he spoke to Yanzhi, an expression of regret seemingly seen on his face.
Yanzhi replied respectfully, “General Fei Long, you are too kind. Your soldiers were obviously inferior in numbers.”
“Yanzhi, you are saving face for me. With the Northwest Bandits causing a ruckus, the Marshal has sent us to lead the army to eliminate them. However, the geographical shape there is complicated – easy to defend, difficult to go on the offensive. It will be a difficult task to completely wipe out the bandits.” General Fei Long said.
“General Fei Long, I will discuss this matter with Father. Tomorrow, Princess Meng Li will be here. The Emperor wants to allow Princess Meng Li to interact with my brother with the intention of marriage. We shall return now and make relevant preparations to show off the Chen Family army’s glory as we welcome the Princess. If my brother can marry Princess Meng Li, our Chen Family army will be considered relatives of royalty. When that happens, we will no longer have to fear the Cao Family,” Yanzhi said before commanding the two groups of Chen Family soldiers, who rearranged themselves from rows of two to rows of one in an extremely organised manner.
“Even though this may be a military exercise, the auras given out by both groups of soldiers were still extremely frightening. Looks like we did gain something from this trip. Let’s go down and prevent us from having obstacle after obstacle to face.”
As he spoke, Ye Mo opened his Giant Dragon Wings and flew towards Yanzhi. As for Yun Chuchu, she also opened her Firecloud Wings and followed behind.
“Who is that!” The experienced General Fei Long instantly detected the presence of Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu and instantly yelled, “I detect two Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters in the sky. Sub-section one, deploy All-Encompassing Net! Take down the enemy.”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A small section made up of a hundred people instantly let out shouts, pointing the spears in their hand in Ye Mo’s direction. In an instant, Ye Mo could feel his whole body engulfed by energy as if he was devoured by the ocean. A huge energy net instantly formed and took shape, capturing Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu.
The two of them were almost intertwined because of the All-Encompassing Net, their bodies pressed tightly against each other.
“Brother Ye Mo, why didn’t you fight back!”
Yun Chuchu was extremely surprised. This All-Encompassing Net generated by a hundred men might have been powerful, but it should have been nothing that Ye Mo could not handle given his strength.
“If I fight back, who knows if there will be an even stronger formation unleashed against me. Compared to that, why not let ourselves be captured. Yanzhi is there anyway, she will naturally free us when she sees me.”
The two of them were directly captured by the All-Encompassing Net.
“Who are you? To have the nerve to fly across the Chen Family army. The All-Encompassing Net displayed by a hundred of our Chen Family soldiers is capable of capturing even True Energy Realm fighters. Speak, who are you people? Are you Northwest Bandits sent here to spy on us and gain intel? You deserve to die.” General Fei Long looked at Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu, his expression slightly angry.
General Chen behind him also looked at Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu with an unimpressed face – two Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters having the nerve to spy on the Chen Family army’s intel. They were simply asking for death.
“I am Ye Mo, a league member of the Qingyun League. I am here to visit Marshal Chen.” Ye Mo did not panic or resist as he was restrained by the All-Encompassing Net.
“Qingyun League member? Ye Mo? I’ve never heard of it. Based on your appearances, you two don’t look like Bandits either. I shall let you two off this time.”
After speaking, General Fei Long waved his arms, and the energy net capturing Ye Mo disappeared.
Seeing that Yanzhi remained silent, Ye Mo looked at her deeply and said, “Lady Yanzhi, you should know what I am here for!”
“You know the Lady?” General Fei Long asked in surprise, instantly casting a glance towards Yanzhi. Seeing Yanzhi’s somewhat unnatural expression, he did not probe further.
Yan Zhi said calmly, “You should go back!”
Ye Mo immediately said, his tone tongue-in-cheek, “Lady Yanzhi, I understand what you are feeling inside your heart. However, if we don’t settle this issue, it won’t be beneficial for either of us. Furthermore, you have constantly tried to sabotage me in the past. Treat the idea of bringing me to your father as paying back some interest to me!”
Yanzhi frowned and spoke to General Fei Long, who was behind her. “I shall move ahead with these two.” After that, Yanzhi said, “The Chen Family soldiers will not attack us if they see my Lightning Bird. Otherwise, you will never reach the Marshal Residence.”
Ye Mo held Yun Chuchu’s hand and leapt onto the Lightning Bird. Looking at Yun Chuchu, a hint of suspicion flashed across Yanzhi’s eyes. She had seen Yun Chuchu before. After Ye Mo’s huge battle with Yun Feng, he held Yun Chuchu’s hand and left the Qingyun Martial Arena in front of all the Qingyun League members.
“You bring her to me and ask for the marriage agreement to be called off? What are you trying to say? Are you looking down on my Yanzhi?”
Controlling the Lightning Bird and guiding it towards the Sky Wolf Mountain Range, Yanzhi mocked him coldly, her voice carrying a hint of bitterness.
