Today's first update: Chapter 3077! 1/4!
Just as Xu Kun began "feeding" Little Hei Zi, while personally leading the main force of the vanguard to sweep aside the formidable enemies from the Bi-Su and Shi-Su routes with thunderous momentum and continue advancing mightily—
The Huang Clan's central and rear armies, split into three routes, had already gone on high alert and formed up in strict battle formation after receiving Xu Kun's urgent message. As expected, they successively encountered the Eight Wise Kings' costly, prearranged layers of interception!
The remaining five of the Black Tortoise Seven Constellations Guard, the Tortoise Lord's personal guards who answered only to the current Tortoise Lord's commands, were all thrown into battle!
Yet reality was like a basin of ice water mixed with shards of glass, poured straight over the confident Eight Wise Kings. It chilled him to the bone, instantly freezing the fervent hope in his heart and leaving behind only disbelief and profound frustration.
He had originally deployed the Bi-Su Guard as expendable scouts along the Huang Clan vanguard's inevitable path, hoping they could at least hold the enemy off for a while, return with valuable intelligence, and perhaps claim some gains.
But he never could have imagined such a brutal outcome—twenty-eight Bi-Su Guards had been massacred in an instant before they could even mount a proper resistance. The traitorous Xuan Bai and Xuan Liao had burned their lifespans with utter resolve, coordinating with the wolf-like Wild Lieutenants led by Lin Jin and Lin Tu to crush them completely, without stirring even the slightest ripple.
