A moment later.
Ding Hao figured it out. It was not that the Northern Barbarian general across from him was too weak, but that his combat strength had long surpassed his realm!
Though he was only a Ninth-Rank Martial Artist, killing a first-level True Martial Realm expert was as easy as turning his hand over!
With a sigh of wonder, Ding Hao followed the momentum and picked up the Northern Barbarian general's corpse.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for picking up True Meaning of Strength (30%). Fuse it?
"Eh? Martial Dao True Meaning? You can pick up something like that too?!"
Ding Hao was startled. He truly had not expected to be able to pick up Martial Dao True Meaning!
One had to know that such True Meaning was a method exclusive to the True Martial Realm!
If he fused with it, would that not mean he possessed a True Martial Realm method ahead of time? It would absolutely bring an enormous increase to his combat strength!
"Fuse!" Without hesitation, Ding Hao directly chose to fuse it!
In an instant, Ding Hao comprehended a Martial Dao True Meaning out of thin air!
Martial Dao True Meaning was merely a collective term. There were countless kinds of True Meaning, such as True Meaning of Fists, True Meaning of Saber, True Meaning of Wind, and more!
What he had fused just now was the True Meaning of Strength, the easiest True Meaning for martial artists to comprehend. However, it was not complete and was only at thirty percent for now!
Yet even at merely thirty percent, it made Ding Hao feel as though divine aid was at his side!
With every saber strike, augmented by the thirty percent True Meaning of Strength, the force on his blade instantly surged by over a thousand pounds.
For a time, the already imposing Ding Hao became even more ferocious!
Man and horse hacked the Flag Protection Camp's barbarian soldiers along the way into complete disarray!
At last, with unstoppable momentum, he charged beneath the Northern Barbarian Army's banner!
The moment he reached this place.
Ding Hao suddenly kicked off the horse's back, soaring into the air like an eagle. At the same time, his roar shook the Northern Barbarian camp! "Ding Hao of the Death Row Camp—Capture the Flag!!"
But faster than his roar was the Mysterious Iron Saber in Ding Hao's hand!
The blade howled as it struck the Northern Barbarian flagpole with irresistible force!
With a crack, the main pole of the military banner snapped apart. The Northern Barbarian Great Banner that had fluttered in the night sky above the barbarian camp collapsed at once!
For a moment, the entire Northern Barbarian camp seemed to fall silent!
Countless Northern Barbarian Army soldiers, led by Commander of Northern Barbarians Man Potian, had their pupils shrink sharply, chills running through their hearts!
"Haha!"
"Good capture!!"
As for Luo Shenhuang, Ding Yishan, and the other Divine Phoenix Army soldiers, all of them were invigorated. The only one displeased was clearly Zhang Dalong!
In his heart.
If not for the special attention of two high-level True Martial Realm Northern Barbarian generals just now, he would have been the one to capture the flag. Ding Hao had clearly picked up the spoils!
"Ah!"
"It's over!!"
A moment later, the first to suffer a devastating collapse in morale were the barbarian soldiers of the Flag Protection Camp.
That was because the Flag Protection Camp's creed was: the flag stands, the men stand; the flag falls, the men perish.
Now that the Northern Barbarian Army's banner had fallen, their heads might as well have moved house ahead of schedule. How could they still have any fighting spirit?
In just a short while, Luo Shenhuang led her cavalry in slaughtering them all, while Ding Hao took the opportunity to pick up another wave of attribute points!
"Slay the Commander of Northern Barbarians!!"
After capturing the flag, Luo Shenhuang's gaze had already fallen upon the area before the central command tent, where Man Potian, the Commander of Northern Barbarians directing the battle, stood!
As for Ding Hao, from the instant he had successfully captured the flag, his attention had been fixed on Man Potian!
After all, among the Four Great Military Merits, only Slay the General remained for him!
So-called Slay the General did not mean killing a few deputy generals or assistant generals. It required beheading the enemy army's highest-ranking commander!
In this war, the merit of Slay the General corresponded to Man Potian!
However, Ding Hao was not foolish enough to charge forward recklessly as he had just done!
The military banner had been dead, after all. But Man Potian, as Commander of Northern Barbarians, possessed Grandmaster Realm cultivation just like Luo Shenhuang!
If he charged at such a cultivator head-on, he would undoubtedly be throwing his life away!
Thus, the final merit of Slay the General was clearly the hardest among the Four Great Military Merits!
If he wanted to obtain it, he could only watch calmly and wait for a good opportunity!
"Everyone!"
"Protect the Barbarian Commander!"
Yet before Luo Shenhuang and the others could rush near Man Potian, another large group of figures gathered tightly around him. There were even quite a few Northern Barbarian generals in the True Martial Realm among them!
Clearly, once the military banner fell, everyone would fight to the death to protect Man Potian!
Otherwise, if their commander was slain as well, the Northern Barbarian Army would be completely finished!
"Break!!"
Facing layer upon layer of barbarian troops blocking her path, Luo Shenhuang erupted with overwhelming might!
With a sharp cry, her figure shot into the sky, crossing dozens of meters through the air as though walking upon emptiness!
Holding a silver saber, she crashed into the barbarian army with fierce momentum!
When her peerless saber qi erupted, the great mass of barbarian soldiers blocking Man Potian's path were ripped apart, including several True Martial Realm generals!
As the shockwave spread, hundreds and thousands more barbarian soldiers were blown backward, tearing open their iron-barrel-like defensive formation!
That heaven-shaking battle prowess left both friend and foe aghast!
"Haha!"
"The Army Commander is divine!"
"Kill! Charge!"
Seizing this opportunity, whether Zhang Dalong, Ding Yishan, and the other generals, or ordinary cavalrymen like Ding Hao, all charged madly forward, completely tearing through Man Potian's final line of defense!
"Damn it!"
"Move aside! Go stop those cavalrymen! Luo Shenhuang is not someone you can deal with!"
At this moment.
Man Potian issued orders while wielding his Dark Gold Great Hammer and charging toward Luo Shenhuang!
Both were in the Grandmaster Realm, and he knew all too well just how terrifying this realm was!
Across the Northern Barbarians' army of several hundred thousand, aside from piling up thousands upon thousands of lives, only he could deal with Luo Shenhuang!
"Luo Shenhuang, you wish to Slay the General? Then today, this commander shall kill you instead!"
"You old bastard! Last time, you used poison to harm me in secret. Today, I will surely cut off your head!"
Boom boom... Clang clang clang!!
In an instant.
Luo Shenhuang and Man Potian, the commanders of the two armies, clashed before the central command tent. The raging True Qi and force were powerful enough to explode!
Within a radius of more than ten meters, sand and stones flew while the ground continuously cracked apart!
No one could approach the two of them. Not even True Martial Realm generals could do so; anyone who rashly drew near would be shaken into serious injury!
No matter how much Ding Hao wanted the merit, he had no intention of approaching the pair!
He merely followed the Divine Phoenix Army soldiers in fiercely battling Man Potian's Guard Camp!
The Guard Camp's soldiers were clearly even stronger than those of the Flag Protection Camp. More importantly, there were quite a few deputy generals and assistant generals from the Northern Barbarian Army among them!
Even the Divine Phoenix Army cavalry, who had been cutting through everything like bamboo, encountered resistance!
Splurt!
Ding Hao unleashed a Tyrant Blade Slash, killing two more Ninth-Rank Northern Barbarian deputy generals. These were already the fifth and sixth deputy generals he had slain!
His strength far exceeded what the Northern Barbarians had anticipated!
"This man's strength is far too strange! Hurry and join us in surrounding and killing him!"
At last, Ding Hao was singled out for extermination by two True Martial Realm generals and over a hundred barbarian soldiers. His situation instantly became incomparably perilous!
Worse still, the horse beneath him had its legs severed by the surrounding barbarian soldiers. It let out a miserable neigh and collapsed, sending Ding Hao falling downward!
And waiting below him were over a hundred gleaming, icy blades!!
