The chilling aura, like a deadly poisonous fog, spread rapidly, silently seeping into the ranks of the Chu State soldiers.
Any soldier who came into contact with this terrifying aura experienced their skin instantly becoming ulcerated, as if it had been mercilessly corroded by an extremely strong acid.
They groaned in pain, their weapons falling from their hands as they lost all ability to continue fighting.
On the battlefield, the Chu State soldiers watched in horror at the horrific state of their comrades, which dealt a blow to their morale.
Those soldiers who were unfortunately afflicted by the chilling aura collapsed to the ground, struggling desperately.
Some fled in despair, but their actions only plunged more people into deep panic.
"Hold your formation! Anyone who dares to retreat! I'll kill them!!!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the Twelve Red Generals in the Chu State rear immediately issued military orders, and they did not remain idle for a moment.
Red One frowned deeply and decisively rushed forward to provide support.
If things continue like this, the Chu State soldiers, after suffering repeated blows, are likely to mutini.
Immediately, an even stronger gust of wind howled directly towards Lin Feng's direction.
It was Red One who used his abilities to forcefully blow all those cold, damp currents toward the Hong Kingdom.
Those Chu State soldiers who had died from the poison gas attack continued to join the mutated ranks after their deaths, as if they were giving their last bit of energy.
Their skin was covered in potent toxins, which only made them appear more ferocious.
When their fingernails scratched the armor of the Hong Kingdom soldiers, puffs of highly corrosive white smoke immediately rose up.
Upon seeing this, Lin Feng frowned deeply, and then a powerful, dark red force emanated from his body once again.
His eyes gleamed with an eerie light; he could clearly see that each mutated soldier's head was tightly connected by a dark red thread.
Given this situation, he began to try to seize control of them.
However, just as the power was being released, it was thwarted by Red One.
"Boy, now that I'm here, how can I let you run wild?"
Red One's voice rang out from in front of Lin Feng.
He appeared suddenly in front of Lin Feng like a swift red lightning bolt, his body brimming with red power.
Then, he threw an extremely powerful punch at Lin Feng, the force of which even swept up the surrounding soldiers.
Lin Feng, however, looked coldly at Red One with a blank expression.
He then swiftly gathered up the corpses of the soldiers on the ground, forming a gigantic claw behind him with astonishing speed, which directly blocked Red One's path.
"Boom!!!"
The moment the two made contact, a deafeningly loud sound rang out.
The powerful airflow blew everything and everyone around them away, leaving a ten-meter vacuum zone.
"Brother Lin, who do you think will win?"
Long Aotian from the sky had already arrived beside Lin Ao.
"If he can't even defeat these Twelve Red Generals after absorbing the Doom Avatar, then he has no right to talk about facing Chu Tian or seeking revenge."
Lin Ao said calmly, his eyes fixed on the rear of the Chu State.
His brow furrowed slightly, for a vast amount of Fate's power was gathering in the sky at a visible speed.
Other things are bound to happen.
Long Aotian nodded.
"Then I'll pick one to try out and see who's stronger between me and Lin Feng right now."
A hint of excitement appeared on Long Aotian's face. He felt a void after playing with the cannon and now desperately needed an opponent to fill it.
Lin Ao did not stop him. He saw Long Aotian look at the red generals who were causing trouble over there, randomly pick one and rush over.
The battle between Lin Feng and Red One intensified.
Red One unleashed a barrage of powerful punches, each one carrying immense force, seemingly capable of tearing the air apart.
He moved with lightning speed, circling Lin Feng and searching for an opportunity to attack.
Occasionally, turbulent air currents would suddenly appear in some areas, affecting Lin Feng's movements.
This must be the power of Red One; it's something that's hard to defend against.
Lin Feng remained calm, manipulating the massive claws behind him to deftly deflect Red One's attacks. Gradually, he became able to clearly sense when Red One would activate his abilities, allowing him to better dodge his attacks.
The fleshy claws collided repeatedly with Red One's fist, producing a series of loud bangs.
The surrounding terrain was blasted into countless deep craters.
Each impact generated a powerful shockwave, causing the surrounding soldiers to scramble for cover.
Lin Feng's gaze grew increasingly cold as he gradually increased his control over the claws.
The claws became more agile, not only able to defend themselves, but also began to take the initiative to attack Red One.
Red One was not to be outdone; the red power within him grew stronger, and his punches became even more ferocious.
He unleashed a variety of fist techniques, attacking Lin Feng like a storm.
The two were locked in a stalemate, neither able to easily gain the upper hand.
However, Lin Feng seemed to be familiarizing himself with his own strength, using Red One as a sparring partner.
At the same time, Long Aotian also engaged in a fierce battle with the red general he had chosen.
Long Aotian nimbly weaved through the air. Suddenly, he waved his hands, and two cannons appeared on his body. He carried the two cannons and continuously fired shells at the Red Ten.
The Red Ten used their own strength to form a shield using the land and surrounding trees to block the shells.
Long Aotian's attacks were swift and fierce, while the red general's defense was also very solid. They exchanged blows, making for a very exciting battle.
Long Aotian would sometimes swoop down and bombard the Red Ten with cannons at close range.
He would occasionally pull out a machine gun and fire at him.
Long Aotian seemed to be playing around, which still annoyed Red Ten to no end.
Their battle left the surrounding soldiers dumbfounded; a vacuum also appeared around them, and no one dared to approach.
Meanwhile, in the rear of the Chu State, the forces of Fate gathering in the sky grew increasingly intense.
Lin Ao stared intently at the sky, remaining motionless.
He then looked down at Lin Feng. His lips moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound. However, Lin Feng seemed to have heard what Lin Ao said and nodded slightly.
"Once you've familiarized yourself with the power, finish them off quickly. I reckon things will change on their side soon."
These are Lin Ao's original words.
He was constantly emptying the area to maintain order. He wasn't worried about the Chu State soldiers breaking through because he had great confidence in the equipment Li Jing had provided, and indeed, it was extremely effective.
Although the mutated soldiers were fierce fighters, they were still unable to cross the Hong Kingdom's defenses under the overwhelming firepower.
The only person Lin Ao needed to be wary of was Chu Tian.
And Fate.
Everything else doesn't matter.
