Unstoppable (continued)

Ying Zhou Conquest Demon Saber, unleashing a waterfall of light that swept across the battlefield, instantly sending blood and flesh flying and heads rolling everywhere.

"Our purpose in coming here was not to break through the defenses and rush into the valley, but to disrupt the barbarian's formation and create an opportunity for the Mu Family Army in Gourd Valley to break out—as long as that Marshal Mu is not just a figurehead, he will know how to seize the opportunity."

Si Ming casually threw a punch, unleashing a surge of powerful force that sent dozens of barbarians who tried to approach flying into the air, leaving the area within ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) empty.

"If you're scared, then leave."

Xia Guanxue unleashed his Sword Qi, transforming it into a sword wheel that swirled around him, slicing all the barbarian soldiers in half at the waist. The scene was extremely bloody, but his face remained expressionless as always, making him look like a cold-faced god of death.

"Who's afraid! I just think the enemy is too weak; slaughtering chickens and pigs is no challenge at all."

With a furious roar, Ying Zhou charged into the left flank of soldiers, hacking and slashing through them before turning back and charging back, carving a path through the enemy lines.

Although the barbarian soldiers were brave and warlike, they were not all fearless. Seeing that the five who broke through the formation were all martial arts masters rarely seen in the world, they dared not go forward again. Moreover, according to the rules, such martial arts masters should be dealt with by the strong on their side. As a lowly soldier, he had no obligation to go up and die.

Sure enough, a moment later the earth trembled like a drumbeat, and the tremors grew more and more intense. When Si Ming looked up, he saw a fierce-looking cavalry charging straight toward his side.

These cavalrymen rode scaly Jiaolong Horse, as if they were fully armored. The riders were also tall and strong, a head taller than ordinary barbarian soldiers, with prominent bones. If ordinary people were flesh wrapped around bones, they were bones wrapped around flesh. Moreover, each of them had cold eyes, without any human emotion, as if they were just killing machines. The vanguard cavalry general at the head of the group held up a war flag with a wolf pattern printed on it.

"It's the Azure Wolf Army!" Zhao Jin's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. "This is the most powerful elite cavalry force among the Barbarian Race. It is said that each cavalryman undergoes marrow cleansing and bone tempering using Shaman Cult Secret Method, making them incredibly strong and impervious to blades and spears, comparable to top-tier martial arts masters."

Si Ming had a peculiar perspective. After staring at the flag for a while, he asked doubtfully, "Do these barbarians really worship wolves? Do they regard wolves as totems?"

Was the "Wolf Totem" I read in my past life the real thing? Didn't it say that bloody battles between wolves were commonplace, with no spirit of unity whatsoever, and that the essence of wolf culture was bullying the weak?

Zhao Jin explained, "The barbarians do not worship wolves. The reason they are called the Azure Wolf Army is because wolves have particularly stiff bodies and do not turn back when they turn around, thus implying 'no retreat, only advance.'"

Ying Zhou Qi Ingestion defiantly, "That sounds impressive, let me see if it's all show and no substance."

He immediately plunged his sword into the ground, pressed down on the hilt, and channeled his True Qi into the blade. The sword energy triggered a series of explosions in the earth's energy, sending the leading wolf cavalrymen flying into the air and crashing to the ground, only to quickly get back up. Meanwhile, the wolf cavalrymen behind him were completely unaffected and continued their accelerated charge.

Si Ming stomped his foot and threw a punch. Under the impact of the surging fist, the six front-line Canglang cavalrymen and their horses were sent flying, as if struck by an invisible hammer. They exploded in mid-air, their flesh and blood splattering everywhere. However, Si Ming's punch was also absorbed by these six men, and the cavalrymen behind were no longer affected.

"... There's actually some skill involved."

Si Ming used a full 20% of his basic strength in that punch, yet he only achieved such a result. This shows that Zhao Jin's fear of the Azure Wolf Army was not unfounded.

Ying Zhou's expression was somewhat unpleasant, after all, he had just boasted and was immediately humiliated. He snorted coldly, and man and sword became one, transforming into a streak of crimson light that cut into the Canglang cavalry. Xia Guanxue also followed suit, becoming one with her sword as well.

The flashes of swords and blades instantly unleashed a bloody storm, leaving behind only shattered limbs and broken bones in their wake.

Undeniably, the physical attributes of the Azure Wolf Cavalry are indeed formidable, equivalent to the level of top-tier martial artists with external martial arts training. However, they lack the corresponding martial arts skills. But to think that they can withstand a divine weapon like the Conquest Demon Saber Blade with just their copper muscles and iron bones is wishful thinking, especially considering the vast difference in their Foundation.

Just as the two were slaughtering each other, a powerful, almost tangible aura of Vicious Qi swept over them, followed by a green shadow with a pungent odor, accompanied by flashes of swords and blades.

With a deafening roar, earth and rocks crumbled, and a howling wind swept across everything in its path. The one who intercepted Ying Zhou was a middle-aged man with a full head of white hair. His arms were clad in sharp claws, enveloped in a palpable aura of Vicious Qi. His speed was incredible, like black meteors constantly tearing through the air. He launched a fierce attack on Ying Zhou, forcing him to defend himself. This man was none other than the renowned Silver Wolf King, a powerful figure among the barbarians.

On the other side facing Xia Guanxue was a beautiful and charming woman, dressed in a short jacket and tiger-skin skirt, revealing her limbs tattooed with colorful patterns. She was none other than the rare female powerhouse among the barbarians Colorful Butterfly King.

She had clearly practiced seductive arts; just seeing her exposed skin was enough to make one's heart flutter and Qi and Blood boil.

However, as an ice-cold man, Xia Guanxue was naturally unaffected by the charm. The Listening to the Rain Sword in his hand splashed Sword Qi like a torrential downpour. The Colorful Butterfly King turned around quickly, leaving behind afterimages, but he was unable to completely avoid it, and a sword mark was left on his lotus root-like arm.

"Hmph, a man who doesn't know how to cherish a woman."

With a flick of her finger, the Colorful Butterfly King sent ten beams of cold light flying from her fingertips, striking the corpses of the slain Canglang cavalrymen on the ground. As if manipulating puppets, the ten Canglang cavalrymen stood up and charged towards Xia Guanxue.

"No. 3 Xun Hurricane)!"

In an instant, the Listening to the Rain Sword sliced through several arcs, severing ten corpses in half at the waist, and also cutting off their limbs.

Seeing this, the Colorful Butterfly King didn't care. He formed hand Method Formula, Spirit Transformation. A green light surged out like a wave, sealing off three sides. Xia Guanxue held her Sacred Sword horizontally, the blade colliding with the light carrying poisonous mist. The mist dissipated, and she used the force to retreat. The barbarian soldiers beside her were only slightly touched, their faces turning blue as they fell down. They then transformed into puppet-like corpses, attacking Xia Guanxue without feeling pain.

Si Ming glanced at them but did not interfere in their battle. Ying Zhou and Xia Guanxue's current strength was only at the mid-level among Spirit Transformation Grandmaster. Even if they were temporarily at a disadvantage, they could not be defeated quickly.

If he were to make a move, he would be very confident of killing the Silver Wolf King and the Colorful Butterfly King on the spot. However, killing a lowly soldier is a different matter from killing Spirit Transformation expert. You can pretend to be stupid and fool people with the former, but you can't be so perfunctory with the latter. After all, his current identity no longer represents him personally. He has to consider the subsequent impact and can no longer act as willfully as a wandering Rogue Person.

If this were a vendetta between martial arts masters, they could do whatever they wanted, at most being criticized for being shameless and despicable. But right now, it's a war between nations. If Si Ming were to kill a powerful barbarian, it would be tantamount to the Su State launching an undeclared war against the Barbarian Race. If word got out, it would be very disgraceful. After all, even the barbarians know to abide by the rules of war, yet the dignified Mohist are not even as good as the barbarians.

The concept of righteousness may seem superfluous, like toilet paper—used once and then thrown away—but it is ultimately a necessity; without it, one's hands would easily get dirty.

If Si Ming wants to act recklessly, he must either declare war on the Barbarian Race as a national envoy or find evidence of their evil deeds and, as Mohist, declare himself to act on behalf of Heaven. Before that, he must restrain himself.

"However, while generals cannot be killed, there are fewer scruples when it comes to common soldiers. This Azure Wolf cavalry is formidable in combat, but its numbers are small, which shows that training even one is not easy."

Si Ming pointed his sword at his brow, and a strange, invisible Sword Intent spread out. The Canglang cavalrymen froze for a moment, then their eyes blazed with rage. They swung their weapons at their comrades, completely losing their minds and going mad, unable to distinguish friend from foe.

The Heart Devil Secret Sword is an extremely rare spiritual Swordsmanship even in the myriad realms. It does not forcibly confuse the mind with external force, but rather triggers negative thoughts within the mind, causing an outward surge of anger.

What may seem like a fleeting moment has actually been a long life in the spiritual world for these cavalrymen, who have experienced all sorts of human tragedies. For example, their master forcibly took their wives and slaughtered their entire family; their whole family was killed, and in order to avenge them, they had to castrate themselves to practice evil magic; they were betrayed by their subordinates and abandoned by everyone; and they even killed the woman they loved with their own hands...

These wolf cavalrymen had strengthened their bodies with secret techniques, but their spirit and realm had not improved. They were still at the level of ordinary soldiers and could not resist the erosion of the Heart Devil Sword Intent. They were easily hit. When they awakened from their spiritual world, their hearts were filled with rage and they only wanted to vent it. This was spontaneous demonic possession, and it was useless to force them to calm down with mental techniques.

It is said that the ruthless are afraid of the stubborn, and the stubborn are afraid of the reckless. But the current Canglang cavalry are all reckless. While killing each other, they strike at each other's vitals with every blow. They are all on the offensive and have no defense. When the reckless meet the reckless, the result is naturally that they die quickly. In the blink of an eye, half of them have fallen.

When Zhao Jin and Baoyun witnessed this bizarre scene, their scalps tingled with fear. They had seen mind-controlling sorcery before, but at most it was used in battles between martial artists. Now, they were in the midst of a chaotic military battle, with Sha Qi aura soaring to the sky. Logically speaking, any sorcery should be dispersed by this Sha Qi and would be impossible to use. Void Returning Great Grandmaster would be helpless against it.

"Young Master Si, the Mu Family Army in the valley has moved; they've begun their breakout." Zhao Jin finally remembered the important matter. No matter how strange it was, it was the enemy who had fallen into their trap.

Si Ming, "Well, then if we make a bigger commotion, we can slip away."

"You come and go as you please? What do you take our Great Qian Army for?"

A Vicious Qi, like a black dragon, roared in, its force exploding with a series of "bangs," causing boulders to spring up from the ground and sweep forward under its Vicious Qi.

Si Ming could tell that the attacker was highly skilled. He stepped forward to protect Zhao Jin and Monk Baoyun Yun. With a series of palm strikes, he blocked all the attacks with simple moves, leaving no opening. Finally, he smashed the black dragon with a punch, injuring and repelling the attacker who was mixed in with it.

"... Such astonishing cultivation level, there can't be more than ten people in the world. Who exactly are you?"
