Chapter 307 I Trust You



Chapter 307 I Trust You

A few days later, the Pinglu Army, who had reserved their strength for a long time, replaced the exhausted Zhaoyi Army and began a new round of fierce assault on the Qinzhou City.

As soon as the Pinglu Army joined the war, the situation of the Hedong Army went into a precipitous decline.

Initially, the Hedong Army was tight in defense. But after the Pinglu Army entered the battlefield, they immediately dealt the Hedong Army head-on blows, and their defense army at each site lost heavily. Now that the line of defense between each interval was in great peril. Only after a short period, some guards from the Pinglu Army captured several tops of the city wall and gained a firm foothold.

At this time, Li Keyong was constantly getting bad news. Gradually, his face turned gloomy. As he was staring at each part of the battlefield, his eyes slowly turned red. In his sight, powerful cultivators were everywhere, flying while attacking. Everywhere they flew across, the soldiers and generals would die in rapid succession. Then, their defense line collapsed, and their Military Formation was broken. The corpses of their soldiers lay all over the battlefield.

The cultivators’ number of the Pinglu Army was so large that Li Keyong nearly thought the scene before him was not real.

There were also many cultivators in the Hedong Army. The strength of those cultivators was much higher than not only the Vassal State Army but also other frontier armies. After all, Li Keyong gained the support of Buddhism long ago. But no matter how many cultivators there were in the Hedong Army, they were the force from the mortal world. How could they compare with the Pinglu Army, which had the full support of the demon clan’s cultivators? The original troops of You Daxiao had been divided and incorporated into the Pinglu Army!

Hence, Li Keyong realized that Li Ye had ordered the Zhaoyi Army to attack first because he wanted them to deplete the defense works and clear the way for the Pinglu Army. First, they would almost ruin all the defensive installations and consume nearly all the things such as rolling timbers and stones for defense, the melted iron, arrowheads, and so on. Then, the Pinglu Army would come to attack as fast as lightning at the moment when nearly all their things for defense were used up. In this way, Li Ye could win the battle by launching just one last attack!

Obviously, the Pinglu Army was capable of winning this battle by this attack.

This was a real aboveboard war. Without any conspiracy and scheme, it was a battle on their ability to arrange arms and embattling. Although Li Keyong had already figured out Li Ye’s intention, there was little he could do. The Pinglu Army was more powerful than his army and had a much higher fighting capacity. When the battle continued, the Pinglu Army would naturally win. It would be an inevitable reality!

Those generals guarding around the city kept asking Li Keyong for reinforcement. Little by little, the eyes of Li Keyong were covered with blood streaks. He felt his face tingled as if someone had slapped him. When Li Ye gained the initiative in this battle, he defeated Li Keyong under those watchful eyes from Land Buddhism.

Dragon-subduing Arhat glanced at Li Keyong but remained silent. Perhaps he thought that talking to someone of no great importance was a waste of time. Then, he raised his hand and uttered a low cry abruptly. After this cry, the monks from the Land Buddhism showed up one after another. They scattered on the defense lines among the military camps outside the city and the city walls. Just when they popped up, they delivered a fierce attack by using their techniques on the Pinglu Army, which maintained a powerful offensive the whole time.

Li Keyong’s face looked slightly better. Secretly, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. In any case, with the help of Land Buddhism’s monks, the situation of this war would soon be reversed. Although there were many cultivators in the Pinglu Army, their realms were obviously much lower than that of the Land Buddhism’s monks. Those monks from the Land Buddhism who made their moves were cultivators above the Spiritual Master Realm. The Pinglu Army could not be able to resist them.

However, Li Keyong was not happy because when the monks from the Land Buddhism appeared, masters in the demon clan suddenly cropped up one after another everywhere in the Pinglu Army’s Military Formation. These masters, who were brought here by the Holy Child, came directly to fight with the Land Buddhism’s monks. Their cultivation level and realm were much higher than You Daxiao’s troops, and they were precisely the matches for the Land Buddhism’s monks.

Although they were all masters in the Spiritual Master Realm, they reached a tacit mutual understanding and did not make a gigantic scene of fighting to avoiding hurting others on their own side. As these cultivators confronted rivals of almost the same realm with them, there was no need for them to activate those brilliant techniques. Instead, they should condense their cultivation power now to fight in this close combat.

The fighting scenes of those Spiritual Master Realm masters looked quite similar to the two-to-two tussling scenes of those valiant generals who were not cultivators. But that was just an illusion. Once anyone of them fell, his companion would turn into flying ashes because they alone could hardly withstand a blow from the Spiritual Master Realm masters.

Still standing before Feihong Bodhisattva, Dragon-subduing Arhat was looking at the war with a cold eye. As for Feihong Bodhisattva, she sat cross-legged on the parapet walls. From time to time, she would pour herself a mouthful of wine with her eyes blurred. It seemed as if she was already highly drunk.

Dragon-subduing Arhat said, “The Holy Child has brought a lot of cultivators, and they have almost the same number of masters in the Spiritual Master Realm. However, they only have seven to eight masters in the Ground Immortal Realm. Thus, we can have two-to-one fights with them. After all the masters brought by the Holy Child under the Ground Immortal Realm are killed, Li Ye will definitely lose the war!”

But Feihong Bodhisattva did not say anything. She kept turning her head to the right and left as if she were already drunk.

On the battlefield, the situation was developing toward the direction that Dragon-subduing Arhat had predicted.

Behind Li Ye were Su Emei, Nangong Diyi, You Daxiao, the Holy Child, and the nine-tail Demon Fox. All of them were in place and were ready to attack at any time.

“The defense of Qinzhou City is divided into two parts: the military camps and the city walls. Before the main city wall, there is a barbican entrance to the city. If our army wants to get into the city, we have to overcome lots of difficulties and dangers.” You Daniao grinned a little.

“No matter how dangerous and difficult the task is, we can get into the city sooner or later as long as we have feet.” Li Ye looked back and said to the Holy Child, “I’ll leave our camps for you to manage, Holy-child King.”

With his head tilting to one side, the Holy Child looked at Li Ye. “Do you trust me to guard the camps?”

Li Ye smiled slightly but didn’t speak. It showed that, in his opinion, he needed not to answer this question because it was sheer nonsense.

But the Holy Child was not annoyed. Seeing that Li Ye was going to join the war, he could not help asking seriously, “Although you are a Yang Spiritual Master, you have the strength to deal with the Ground Immortal Realm masters. However, there are so many Ground Immortal Realm masters on our opposite side. How many masters can you deal with?”

Li Ye turned around and took out his Luke Sword. Without looking back, he rushed out. “I will fight with ten.”

Since Li Ye was already on his way to fight, the others didn’t want to stand there and did nothing. One after another, they also dashed out.

Although they only had the Spiritual Master Realm’s strength, they could not fight against the Ground Immortal Realm masters. But the Spiritual Master Realm masters also had their own battlefield, which could also decide the trend of the battle. If the battlefield of the Ground Immortal Realm masters got a winner, then the army that the winners were in would win the war. However, if masters in the Ground Immortal Realm ended in a deadlock, the outcome of the battle between those Spiritual Master Realm masters would directly decide the result of the war between two armies.

Watching them rushing out, the Holy Child grabbed You Daxiao. Squinting at him, he asked, “Well, little bird, do you really take this guy Li Ye as your master? It makes sense if you only cooperate with him. But judging by your actions, it is obvious that you are almost one of his subordinates. Anyway, you are the decent Son of God of the demon clan. Didn’t you want to leave yourself a little dignity?”

“Don’t call me the little bird in front of others. Believe it or not, I will fight to the death with you!” With a gloomy face, You Daxiao threatened. For him, being called a bird was the most humiliating thing.

The Holy Child uttered a snorting laugh. “Since you chose to follow Li Ye, you become increasingly bolder. You asked for a desperate fight. Then, try me!”

Rolling his eyes cunningly, the Son of God suddenly came up with an idea in his mind. He challenged with a sinister smile. “Dare you bet with me?”

“What is that?” The Holy Child showed no fear.

The Son of God smirked and said, “Let’s bet the number of Ground Immortal Realm masters that Li Ye can defeat.”

“How much do you think that he can defeat?” Smiling coldly, the Holy Child asked, “Do you truly believe that he can defeat ten?”

Slightly lifting his mouth corners, the Son of God showed a mysterious smile and asked, “What if I win?”

“You are daydreaming. That is simply impossible!” Immediately, the Holy Child said firmly. But when he saw that the Son of God’s smile of the tease, his face fell and said in a low voice, “If he can defeat ten, I will follow your lead in the future!”

The Son of God heavily patted his thigh and said, “Okay, that’s the deal!”
