Chapter 117 The Legend of Eastern Qin - Divine Martial King
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
For three days, the Southern Qi army did not stop its attack.
Fortunately, the Marquis of Zhennan had made arrangements in advance; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to hold out for three days.
However, they persevered in the end.
At this point, both sides' soldiers were extremely exhausted.
The rear of the Southern Qi army.
A group of powerful warriors, now dressed in ordinary soldier armor, had assembled.
These hundreds of people all possessed strength at least at the Great Martial Master level, with many being Grandmaster level experts.
"King Nan, the time is almost right, we can't delay any longer."
Sword King looked at the Southern King beside him.
Their time is indeed running out. Even if they capture Ancheng today, it will take them time to fully control the city.
Moreover, it cannot be controlled in a short period of time.
Even if they enter the city, it will take time to drive out or kill all the Eastern Qin army.
They have no time to waste now.
If we can't take it today, even if we do, holding onto it will be a problem.
After all, the Eastern Qin army now has a mysterious Grandmaster, plus the Divine Martial King who brought 500,000 troops, so they no longer have an advantage in the number of Grandmasters.
In the past three days, their 800,000-strong army has suffered nearly half its losses and is no longer capable of fighting.
"Alright, let's get started!"
"We must take Ancheng today."
The Prince of the South nodded.
He knew very well that their time was running out.
"Listen up, everyone. Our target this time is still the general of the Eastern Qin army. Once the general is killed, assemble at the city gate and open it."
The Southern King gave the order directly.
"Yes."
Hundreds of powerful warriors accepted the order.
"Set off."
After the King of the South issued the order, he quickly led the attacking army into the fray.
The others did not hesitate at all, and quickly followed the Southern King into the army.
Without careful observation, it's impossible to tell that they are all martial arts masters.
The city walls of Ancheng.
Qin Wu looked at the Southern Qi army launching a new offensive and became wary.
"Xuan Yue, observe carefully."
"Issue my order that all generals be on high alert, as Southern Qi is very likely to launch a decapitation strike this time."
Qin Wu gave the order directly.
This is his battlefield instinct.
It was also his battlefield experience that made it too late if the Southern Qi didn't take action soon.
His 400,000-strong army was less than two days' journey from Ancheng.
If Southern Qi cannot capture Ancheng today, then Southern Qi can be said to have lost.
The only option was to retreat.
With this retreat, Eastern Qin could then advance unimpeded and take at least half of Southern Qi's territory.
Therefore, today the Southern Qi must take a desperate gamble and capture Ancheng.
The best course of action then would be to send out powerful warriors to kill the generals of the Eastern Qin army, causing chaos in the Eastern Qin army and taking the opportunity to capture Ancheng.
"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured. As long as those two are in the Southern Qi army, I will definitely be able to find them."
Xuan Yue guarantees this.
At the same time, he also appeared on the city wall, using himself as bait to lure out the two grandmasters of Southern Qi.
If he had worried before that he was no match for his opponent, now he felt no fear whatsoever.
After all, he knew Qin Wu's strength better than anyone else. It was only by good luck that the two Grandmasters in Southern Qi were able to survive with Qin Wu by their side.
Among the Southern Qi army.
As the Southern King and the Sword King followed the army and approached the city wall, they also saw the crescent moon on the city wall.
The two looked at each other.
He instantly understood what the other person meant.
As soon as they reached the foot of the city wall, the two immediately attacked.
"Your Highness, they've arrived."
Xuan Yue whispered a reminder.
Qin Wu had already noticed it.
A few breaths.
The Southern King and the Sword King simultaneously leaped onto the city wall and launched a direct attack on Xuan Yue.
At that moment, a bad premonition arose in their hearts, and they sensed the danger of death.
They were less than five meters away from Xuan Yue.
A terrifying attack came head-on.
The two reacted quickly, immediately halting their attack and switching to defense.
At the same time, they attacked forward.
A metallic clang rang out, and the two were thrown back several meters by a powerful force before regaining their footing.
Only then did the two realize that the one who had attacked them was actually a young general in silver armor.
"who are you?"
The Prince of the South suppressed the churning blood and qi within his body and asked in a deep voice.
"Eastern Qin, the Divine Martial King."
Qin Wu sneered and introduced himself.
Upon hearing Qin Wu introduce himself, the expressions of the Southern King and the Sword King changed.
Their desire to quickly capture Ancheng stemmed from their aim to secure a favorable position before the arrival of the Eastern Qin Divine Martial King.
But it was too late.
The Divine Martial King of Eastern Qin arrived ahead of schedule.
Although they weren't attacking with all their might in the previous exchange, they were well aware that they were no match for this legendary figure from the Eastern Qin Dynasty.
The two exchanged a glance and then decided to retreat immediately.
"Gentlemen, you're here, you're not going anywhere without leaving something behind."
Qin Wu saw through all their little tricks.
It would have been better if they hadn't come; now that they've arrived, how could Qin Wu possibly let them leave so easily?
The reason we didn't directly attack the Southern Qi army before was because we were concerned about the depletion of their forces.
But he's not afraid now; this is his home turf.
Upon hearing Qin Wu's words, the Southern King and the Sword King knew that their plan to retreat directly was probably impossible.
"Xuan Yue, go and deal with those Grandmasters. I'll take care of things here."
Qin Wu instructed Xuan Yue on this matter.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xuan Yue knew that Qin Wu was more than capable of taking on two opponents at once.
So without the slightest hesitation, he flew away immediately.
"God Martial King, you are very strong, but do you think it's possible for you to fight two against one?"
Sword King was furious when he saw that Qin Wu had actually let that mysterious grandmaster leave.
This is disrespectful to them!
They are all Grandmasters, so why does the Divine Martial King look down on them?
"Impossible? You might as well give it a try."
Qin Wu sneered.
His figure vanished the next moment.
"Be careful."
The King of the South immediately spoke up to remind Qin Wu the moment he disappeared.
He hadn't expected that the Divine Martial King of Dongqin would be so fast.
Even he couldn't fully capture his figure.
Sword King, with his extensive combat experience, reacted immediately.
But it was too late after all.
Qin Wu was too fast.
Although he managed to block Qin Wu's sweeping spear, Qin Wu's attack was so powerful that it was impossible to block it in a hurry.
He was sent flying by Qin Wu's attack and crashed onto the city wall more than ten meters away.
At this moment, the King of the South also retreated quickly.
The Southern King is not as good as the Sword King in attack, but his speed is his pride.
Qin Wu's second attack missed completely.
"The response is good, but not enough."
As Qin Wu finished speaking, his figure vanished.
The next moment, he appeared in front of the Southern King, his spear thrusting straight at the Southern King's chest.
The Southern King was greatly surprised, as he believed that his speed was definitely the best among the Grandmasters.
He has competed with grandmasters from various countries, and no one can outrun him.
However, his speed was not an advantage at all in front of Qin Wu.
In the end, they could only hastily defend themselves, and their fate was obvious, just like the Sword King's.
Qin Wu didn't give them time to adjust, and his figure disappeared again.
This attack was even more ferocious; he wanted to take down the Southern King in one fell swoop before dealing with the Sword King.
After all, the Southern King was indeed very fast. If he hadn't combined his wind-type ability with his movement technique, he could only have matched the Southern King.
If the Southern King wants to escape, even if he captures the Sword King, it will be too late for him to catch up.
After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops below.
"Sword King, run!"
When Qin Wu disappeared again, the King of the South understood what Qin Wu wanted to do.
He immediately roared at the Sword King who wanted to help.
He understood that even if the two of them joined forces, they would not be a match for this legendary figure from the Eastern Qin Dynasty.
The opponent was too fast; they could only barely keep up.
As time goes on, neither of them will be able to escape.
Upon hearing the Southern King's words, the Sword King immediately stopped and jumped down from the city wall.
He understood perfectly what the Southern King meant; the Southern King was prepared to sacrifice himself to save him.
After shouting, the King of the South also used all his strength to attack Qin Wu.
"Whimsical."
Qin Wu understood their plan perfectly well.
He didn't hold back either, and his speed instantly reached its limit.
Before the King of the South could react, Qin Wu pierced his heart with a spear.
Do not look down.
He hadn't expected Qin Wu to be this fast.
"The wind..."
Before his death, the King of the South uttered two words.
Then the person stopped breathing.
At this moment, the Sword King had already landed below the city wall.
"All those at the Grand Martial Master level or above, retreat."
As the Sword King fled, he shouted orders.
The only way to distract Qin Wu is for everyone to escape together.
That's how he had a chance to escape.
As soon as he landed, he sensed that the Southern King's aura had disappeared.
This means that the Southern King died in battle in just a few breaths.
"You are clever, but aren't you underestimating me?"
"Liufeng, my bow."
Qin Wu sneered.
Liu Feng appeared with a silver bow carved with a dragon and handed it directly to Qin Wu.
This bow is Qin Wu's Divine Dragon Sky-Piercing Bow.
Qin Wu drew his bow and nocked an arrow, which pierced the air and struck the Sword King, who was fleeing with all his might.
Qin Wu then drew his bow again, but this time he aimed not at the Sword King, but at the Grandmaster and Grandmaster-level experts who had been ordered by the Sword King to flee.
Arrows were shot out one after another.
In less than ten breaths, Qin Wu had emptied his quiver of arrows.
After firing all his arrows, Qin Wu put away his bow and looked in the direction of the Sword King.
Sword King fled with all his might, a bad premonition rising in his heart, a sense of impending doom looming over him.
He immediately rolled to the side.
Unfortunately, it was too late; his right arm was struck by an arrow.
"what!"
A scream rang out, but the Sword King did not hesitate and flew away into the distance, riding the enormous impact.
"You're lucky."
Seeing that he had failed to kill the Sword King with an arrow, Qin Wu merely gave a cold laugh and did not pursue him.
"Liufeng, have my Great Snow Dragon Cavalry arrived yet?"
Qin Wu inquired about Liu Feng.
"Your Highness has arrived."
The wind blew back.
