Sincerity
"A boring trick!"
Ba Shenhuang clamped his arm, catching the golden spear that was thrusting towards his ribs. Yi Rihai was overjoyed and was about to activate the hidden spear from the ground when he suddenly felt his breath catch. A huge palm force pressed down on him, hitting him first. He let out a miserable groan and staggered away, having no strength left to activate the hidden spear.
In just one exchange, the two Spirit Transformation Grandmaster were already forced to retreat and injured, a performance that left onlookers speechless. However, Bai Fengshan Yi Rihai's efforts were not in vain; at least they slowed down Ba Shenhuang's Movement Method, causing his speed to drop sharply and forcing him to accelerate again.
At the same moment, on an arrow tower three hundred meters to the south, a Spirit Transformation Grandmaster drew back a large wooden bow, with a giant arrow, originally intended for a crossbow, nocked on the bowstring. He had already aimed at Ba Shenhuang, knowing that this was the perfect moment. Just as he was about to fire, he saw his target suddenly turn his head and glance at him.
The fierce and menacing gaze sent a chill down the archer's spine, as if warning him that if he dared to shoot, he must be prepared to pay the price.
Most other martial artists would have been intimidated and given up their sniping, but as a Spirit Transformation Grandmaster, his will was unwavering and steadfast. Even with awe for the War God, he wouldn't be swayed by a single glance and lose his fighting spirit.
With a whoosh, the bowstring emitted a teeth-grinding vibrating sound, and the giant arrow shot out like lightning, hurtling towards Ba Shenhuang at an incredible speed.
"I warned you, don't say I didn't warn you!"
Ba Shenhuang threw a backhand punch, and with a loud bang, the giant arrow stopped less than half a meter away, its shaft jerked forward, and then shattered into pieces.
Not only that, the archer on the arrow tower suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, sensing an alarm. It was too late to dodge; he only had time to assume a defensive stance before a deafening explosion rang out, and the entire arrow tower was destroyed by a force from a distance. The archer coughed up blood and flew out.
Outside the battlefield, witnessing this scene, Ying Zhou couldn't help but gasp, "This guy is too fierce! He repelled three Nascent Spirit Transformation with just a few punches and kicks, one with minor injuries and the other with serious ones. It's as easy as an adult bullying a child. Is this the strength of War God of the Military School? Does he still need our help? He could easily break through the military camp by himself!"
Xia Guanxue said, "Given the wisdom of the Military God, since he hasn't withdrawn his War God, he must have a way to deal with him. Let's wait and see."
Just then, Ba Shenhuang had already charged straight in and stormed into the central army camp. Along the way, he repelled two Nascent Spirit Transformation who tried to stop him. Just as he was about to face the commander-in-chief, suddenly, a wave of energy rushed out from the commander-in-chief's tent, accompanied by a figure.
Ba Shenhuang swung his palm, expecting to easily knock his opponent back as before. However, the force this time was like a tidal wave, far surpassing that of the previous "weak Spirit Transformation." He quickly increased his power.
With a deafening explosion, the newcomer was blasted away, but for the first time, Ba Shenhuang also stopped in his tracks!
Chapter 803 Sincerity
Blocking Ba Shenhuang was a tall female general, wielding a long-handled battle axe, wearing a purple-gold helmet, a beast-faced chainmail armor, and a belt with a delicate and exquisite design. Although her expression was not visible, the fierce eyes revealed from her armor gave the impression that the person standing in front of her was not human, but a High Antiquity ferocious beast, and a ferocious beast that was loyal to its master.
Ba Shenhuang glanced at the white mark on his palm, pointed at the other person, and said, "Your strength is not bad."
Such a barely passing evaluation might sound like a disdainful assessment, but the guards standing nearby couldn't help but look at the female general with higher regard. After all, in contrast to this evaluation were five "weaklings who couldn't even withstand a single palm strike from Ba Shenhuang," including Long Rihai, whose Spirit Transformation skills were unparalleled in the world, and Bai Fengshan, whose Swordsmanship was unmatched in the Northeast.
The female general seemed not to hear Ba Shenhuang's words, but stared intently at her opponent, guarding the commander's tent, gathering all her strength, ready to launch a thunderous attack at any moment. Even though the previous exchange had made her realize the strength of her opponent, she did not waver in the slightest.
Although there were no words, it was clear from the sight that no one could enter the camp unless they stepped over her corpse.
"You can't stop me." Ba Shenhuang said with his hands behind his back.
"What if we join in?"
Eight figures flew through the air and landed in front of the camp one by one. Each of them possessed a powerful aura and was Spirit Transformation Grandmaster guarding the other two directions. After noticing Ba Shenhuang's actions, they immediately set off to provide assistance. Unfortunately, Ba Shenhuang's speed was too fast, treating the tens of thousands of elite soldiers as nothing. If it weren't for the female general blocking him, Ba Shenhuang would probably have already rushed into the commander's tent.
Nine Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators surrounded Ba Shenhuang, their combined auras creating an imposing force, like an insurmountable Great Wall. An ordinary Spirit Transformation Grandmaster would likely be trembling under such immense pressure.
However, Ba Shenhuang merely glanced at it casually and said disdainfully, "What good will it do to add a bunch of cheapskates to the mix?"
"You!"
One of the young Nascent Spirit Transformation, his face flushed with anger, was about to retort when he met Ba Shenhuang's gaze. His sarcastic words caught in his throat, for he had a gut feeling that if he dared to say the rest, he would be met with a fatal blow.
Although he felt that in this tense situation, Ba Shenhuang had no reason to ignite a battle with uncertain consequences for the sake of personal feelings, he hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not dare to gamble on the other party's courage.
It's true that Spirit Transformation Grandmaster has a strong will, but that willpower shouldn't be used for something so trivial. Getting beaten up for a moment of rudeness is nothing to brag about.
If both sides went all out, even if Ba Shenhuang was strong, he couldn't defeat nine Nascent Spirit Transformation. The reason he was able to defeat his enemy in one move was because neither side was fighting desperately. The Spirit Transformation Grandmaster blocking the way knew he couldn't win, so he simply held back some of his strength. If he suffered a setback, he would immediately retreat to avoid being seriously injured.
But if it's a life-or-death duel, it's a different story. As long as some people desperately entangle Ba Shenhuang while others unleash their ultimate moves, no matter how strong Ba Shenhuang's protective Gang Qi is, it won't be able to withstand the destruction of those ultimate moves.
However, apart from the female general, the eight Spirit Transformation Grandmaster were also well aware that they would never risk their lives against Ba Shenhuang. It wasn't some deep-seated hatred; they could just fight for the Military God of War. But if they wanted the Military God to risk his life, the price he offered wouldn't be enough.
"Have you thought it through? You step back, or I'll move forward?"
Ba Shenhuang remained as domineering as ever, leaving everyone in a predicament of being caught between a rock and a hard place. If they chose to back down now, they would inevitably be ridiculed for not having the guts to fight against nine against one. However, if they chose to ignite a conflict, their fate would be uncertain. Moreover, given the current state of disunity, they were more likely to be defeated, which would only bring them further embarrassment.
Just as the Grandmaster hesitated, a calm and gentle voice came from inside the commander's tent.
"Your Excellency, why be so aggressive?"
The curtain was lifted by a snow-white hand, and a handsome figure stepped out—it was none other than Huang Yan, the "Hundred-Victory Military God".
Despite being in the midst of a military formation, he was not wearing armor or military uniform, but rather a magnificent white robe with wide sleeves that billowed in the wind. A long, emerald-green flute hung at his waist. He possessed a refined and elegant demeanor, and the sunlight shining on him made him seem to glow, drawing everyone's attention.
When he stood before Ba Shenhuang, the two formed a stark contrast. If the War God was the embodiment of masculine beauty, then the Military God was the representative of feminine beauty.
Everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to the two of them. At this moment, they all became supporting characters in the background, just to highlight the presence of the two main characters.
The question of whether the Military God or the War God is stronger has been debated by countless people. Even the Spirit Transformation Grandmaster present were very curious about the answer, wondering if they could find out the result today.
If it were a one-on-one fight, the outcome would be obvious. Although the Military God himself was also a Spirit Transformation Grandmaster, having just witnessed the divine might of Ba Shenhuang, no one believed that the Military God could win by force alone. However, the outcome of a battle is not solely determined by the strength of one's martial prowess.
The Military God is renowned throughout the world for his strategic brilliance. If he were to gather everyone present to jointly besiege Ba Shenhuang, the chances of victory would undoubtedly be very high, and there might even be a certain degree of confidence in killing Ba Shenhuang on the spot. However, the problem is that if it were to be a duel to the death, most of the people present would probably perish. Those Spirit Transformation Grandmaster would certainly not be happy about it, and even if they were to besiege him, they would mostly be going through the motions. They are very curious to know what method the Military God will use to make them risk their lives.
"I'm giving you a choice: retreat or die."
Even when facing an opponent of equal renown, Ba Shenhuang remained as tough as ever, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Huang Yan smiled and said, "Before I make my choice, I'd like to ask you a question, Divine General: why serve the person currently sitting on the throne? I don't believe you consider loyalty to the emperor a virtue. Who sits in that position shouldn't make any difference to you."
"I don't care who sits in that position, and I have no interest in your schemes, but you shouldn't use me as a stepping stone," Ba Shenhuang voice. "Since you chose to climb up by stepping on my reputation, you should be prepared to be overthrown by me."
"I never imagined that a dignified War God of the Military School would care about such meaningless empty titles."
"Just because I don't care doesn't mean others can ruin things for me. Is this all you have to say in your last words?" Ba Shenhuang said impatiently.
