November of Star Calendar 753.
The Iron Family's surprise attack on Shu Family Island failed, and they were subsequently attacked by a coalition of 11 surrounding forces. Meanwhile, the war between the Shu Clan and Yan Family entered an even more intense stalemate, with casualties and losses on both sides.
"Damn it! The Ning Family interfered and actually funded the Yan Family. If it weren't for that, we would have already gained the upper hand in the battle on the front lines!" In the hall, Wu Datou gritted his teeth, filled with resentment and indignation. His hatred for the Ning Family intensified.
" The Ning Family's intervention in helping the Yan Family stems from their fear that we will turn against them next," Shu Tianhao said gravely. "From their perspective, this is understandable. However, they don't realize that we have no intention of dealing with them at all. Ning Family Island's strategic location is poor; it's easily accessible, without any natural defenses, making it easy to attack but difficult to defend. The Ning Family is simply not part of our strategic plan."
"A bunch of businessmen, do you really expect them to have the insight of Yan Que?" Jin Bihan smiled, her gaze towards Yan Que carrying a hint of mockery.
Previously, Yan Que's strategic proposal in public was the first demonstration of his talent, which made everyone look at him with new respect.
His position as the head of the civil officials is already quite secure.
Yan Que smiled wryly and shook his head slightly, "In this way, the two largest battle groups in the All-Star Archipelago will be our side and the Iron Family's side. This is a war of speed. If the Iron Family wins first, they will definitely attack us. If we win first, we can take the opportunity to conquer the surrounding islands and consolidate our advantage. We can even turn the tables and restrain the Iron Family."
Yan Que's vision was truly far-sighted. Taking a holistic approach, he analyzed the situation and immediately explained the entire situation clearly.
The Shu Clan has five Spirit Demon; it's only a matter of time before they defeat the Yan Family. Similarly, although the Iron Family's foundation has been shaken by their crushing defeat, with their strength, defeating the 11-family alliance shouldn't be a problem.
In this battle, whoever resolves their own situation first gains the initiative. Whether attacking or defending, they can prepare in advance and have a certain advantage.
" The Ning Family's little brat has been naughty and needs to be taught a lesson. Father, give me a fleet and five hundred elite soldiers. Let me win a few battles against them, and I believe the Ning Family will behave themselves." Chu Yun laughed loudly and stood up.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Chu Yun, dressed in white with a handsome face, exuded a majestic and imposing aura. Ever since acquiring the Spirit Demon Drunken Snow Blade and routing Tie Ao, his entire demeanor had undergone a complete transformation. At first glance, he seemed like a white tiger roaring proudly in the mountains, or an eagle soaring in the sky—full of vigor and exuding the presence of a great general.
Upon hearing this, Shu Tianhao laughed heartily three times before speaking, "Very well, the front lines are slowly advancing, it's not time for a decisive battle yet. With my son taking action, what's there to fear from that Ning Family Island?"
As he spoke, he recalled the days when he was financially strapped and had to swallow his pride, relying on the Ning Family to develop the economy. Now, everything had changed dramatically, and he looked down on the Ning Family. A surge of pride welled up in his chest.
Immediately, Chu Yun was appointed commander-in-chief and Jin Bihan as deputy commander, leading a main fleet. The fleet consisted of the Eagle Soaring as the flagship, 5 Treasure Ship, 10 ordinary warships, 3,000 soldiers, and 500 elite Tongling soldiers.
Chu Yun made no attempt to conceal his movements, and with great fanfare, crossed the Wei Family's sea area and headed towards the Ning Family.
The warships had just set sail from the dock, and the commander-in-chief had not yet been identified. This news reached the hands of the Ning Family Island.
The Ning Family Island hurriedly summoned the clan elders to discuss the matter.
" The Eagle Soaring, that ship was once a famous vessel of the Fang Family. It was extremely fast and best suited for guerrilla warfare."
"This is the main fleet of the Shu Clan. There are at least 3,000 soldiers, but I don't know how many of the Copper Bell Elite soldiers are."
"I wonder who the commander-in-chief is? Chu Yun is a general, and he wouldn't be mobilized easily. The most likely candidates are the three old generals from the Shu Clan: Hong Xi, Qiao Hou, and Wang Yu."
"It's very likely to be Old Red Spear Hong Xi; he's best at siege warfare. Old Monkey Qiao is currently tied up in the battlefield, but Wang Yu is also a possibility."
The elders whispered among themselves, their expressions grave. However, after a long discussion, they failed to come up with any solutions.
Ning Family Island are good at business, but not good at fighting. They lack the courage to fight in their very being.
"Island Lord, do not worry. These days, in order to prevent the revenge of the Shu Family Island, we have purchased a large number of warships. Let the junior general lead a fleet to deal with them." In the end, it was a junior general from another family who spoke up and proposed a solution.
Since their crushing defeat at Iron Cage Island, the Ning Family has reluctantly spent a fortune to recruit many generals.
The Ning Family Head looked in the direction of the voice and immediately remembered that the young general who spoke was one of the bravest among the officers, skilled in wielding dual swords. He made up his mind and sighed, "That's the only way."
Just then, new intelligence arrived.
"What? The commander this time is actually Chu Yun?" As soon as the news spread, everyone in the hall panicked.
"How could it be Chu Yun? He should be dealing with the Yan Family, why is he here?" someone exclaimed in horror.
"They really think highly of the Ning Family..." The Ning Family patriarch smiled wryly.
"Little Overlord Chu Yun, even Duan Tianya was killed by him. Tie Ao was defeated, he must have also made a move. Who can be his match?" Someone rubbed their forehead, their palms immediately covered in cold sweat.
Times have changed. A year or two ago, none of the people in this hall respected Chu Yun. They would even ask, "Who's that?" when Chu Yun's name was mentioned.
But now, Chu Yun's reputation has soared. Since his debut, he has been invincible in every battle. The name "Little Overlord" resounds All-Star Archipelago; who doesn't know him?
Many people were shocked and panicked.
Even the young swordsman who had just volunteered turned pale, filled with regret.
Looking at the young general again, Ning Family Head immediately felt he was unreliable. Turning to the senior general seated at the head of the ranks, he said, "General Wang Zelong, I originally intended for you to guard Ning Family Head Island. It seems we'll have to rely on you to personally repel the enemy."
"Rest assured, Island Lord. I have elite sea shark soldiers. Though few in number, they can breach warships. Without warships, no matter how capable Little Overlord is, he cannot continue his attack." A glint flashed in General Wang Zelong's eyes. After a moment's thought, he finally said, "However, Little Overlord is fierce, and with the assistance of the Hua family's allied forces, this expedition still requires sufficient troops."
"Of course, I will entrust most of the fleet to you." Even if Wang Zelong hadn't said it, Island Lord Ning would have done the same.
Once the agreement was reached, Wang Zelong led a large force consisting of 3 Treasure Ship and 52 ordinary warships, a dense and imposing army, to meet Chu Yun in battle.
The two sides faced off at sea. Wang Zelong pondered, "If I deploy the elite sea shark troops immediately, they might notice. It would be better to engage in a duel first, to lull Chu Yun into a false sense of security."
Thinking of this, Wang Zelong shouted softly, "Who dares to step forward and fight?"
No one spoke.
These generals were all recruited with money and were not very loyal to the Ning Family. At this moment, many people regretted their actions; Chu Yun's background was too powerful, and no one wanted to risk their lives.
Wang Zelong was in an awkward position and was about to make a move when Chu Yun sent Hua Ying to challenge him.
"Who will fight?" Hua Ying rode on Demon Beast, holding the Hundred Flower Bow, and shouted loudly.
"Your young master is here!" A young warrior with a copper hammer, not recognizing Hua Ying, charged into battle.
Before he could even rush forward, he was shot dead by Hua Ying's arrow, letting out a loud scream. He collapsed headfirst into the sea.
The generals behind Wang Zelong, who possessed the "Great Archery Skill," all trembled. The Ning Family itself was not good at fighting, and upon witnessing this scene, their morale quietly plummeted.
Chu Yun, positioned at the bow of the Eagle Soaring, clearly saw the enemy's wavering. He immediately let out a hearty laugh and declared, "This battle is won!"
He immediately gave the order, and the Eagle Soaring charged headlong into the enemy.
"A general offensive launched so soon?" Wang Zelong was startled and hurriedly gave orders. The Ning Family fleet flew out from both flanks, closing in on Chu Yun from the left and right. At the same time, Wang Zelong personally went to the flagship, ready for battle.
"Come on, I want to see just how powerful the famous Little Tyrant really is!" When the time came, Wang Zelong displayed the demeanor of a general. Holding the Spiral Demon Spear and riding the Deep-Sea Electric Merman, he stepped forward.
"Such a reckless attack is not very rational," Hua Ying muttered to himself. If it were him, he would definitely try to figure out the other party's intentions and deal with them carefully.
After all, compared to the Ning Family's large army, Chu Yun's forces were much smaller.
However, what Chu Yun showed Hua Ying next was what true bravery was.
boom
The Spirit Demon Drunken Snow Blade made a fierce appearance. Chu Yun, riding Heavenly Fox, pounced in mid-air and slashed with the blade.
call
Suddenly, a cold wind arose, and the aura of swords swept in wildly.
" The Spirit Demon Battle Blade?" Wang Zelong's pupils immediately contracted, and his originally fierce expression turned into shock.
Before the attack even arrived, he felt the sting of the blade's wind on his face, and his whole body stiffened. An immense, invisible pressure, like a small mountain, pressed down on him, making it hard for him to breathe, and even giving rise to a sense of despair that no matter how he dodged, he couldn't escape.
"What a fierce blade!" Wang Zelong exclaimed in shock, not daring to confront Chu Yun head-on, and immediately retreated.
Chu Yun pounced on the enemy ship, taking the lead. Riding the Heavenly Fox, his Drunken Snow Blade swelled to three times its original size, resembling a board dancing wildly in all directions.
He charged from bow to stern, leaving a trail of flying wood chips, flashing blades, and spraying blood and severed limbs wherever he went. No one could stop him; he was unstoppable. He Charge back and forth, killing gods and Buddhas alike, and for a time, he ravaged the enemy ranks, with no one able to suppress him.
His Spirit Demon- level combat power has already placed him among the top-tier experts of the All-Star Archipelago. Unless someone like Tie Ao or the Yan Family Island personally intervenes, he can be contained.
It's simply unrealistic for Wang Zelong, who possesses the combat power of Great Demon, to rely solely on a single general.
"He did it after all. The Drunken Snow Blade became the Spirit Demon." Hua Ying stared at Chu Yun's heroic figure charging through the enemy ranks, momentarily mesmerized.
Despite much speculation about whether Chu Yun had successfully passed the Spirit Demon Tribulation, Hua Ying leaned towards the conclusion that he had.
But after witnessing it with his own eyes, he still felt uneasy.
On the path of Spirit Beast Master cultivation, Chu Yun has surpassed him and left him far behind.
