Chapter 354 The Might of the Imperial Guards!
The world depicted by Mu Jin Bai Yi is all in "I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World".
Kunzhong's eyes were sharp as an eagle's. He instantly spotted a flaw in the celestial being's defenses, gathered all his strength, and struck the celestial being's chest with a powerful palm strike.
The force of that palm strike was like a mountain pressing down, causing the celestial being to be struck as if by a giant hammer. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, finally crashing heavily onto the hard ground.
The moment he landed, blood gushed from his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered a severe injury.
However, this celestial being was a tough nut to crack. Even though he was seriously injured, he still struggled to get up again and continue the unfinished battle.
His eyes gleamed with a fierce light, like a lone wolf in the wilderness, ready to fight to the last moment even when trapped in dire straits.
However, Li Xinnan and the other three did not give him that chance. They tacitly activated the internal energy within their bodies at the same time, and the four powerful forces converged in the air, like four giant dragons gathering together to form a dazzling energy ball.
This energy ball, like a small sun, with earth-shattering power, crashed down on the celestial beings.
However, faced with this fatal blow, the celestial being was not afraid but rather delighted, revealing a strange smile.
He clasped his hands together, his inner strength surging like a raging flood. Instead of being afraid, he met the attack of the five people and caught the energy ball.
In that instant, his internal energy surged dramatically, and he seemed to be reborn.
There was no trace of the severe injury and near-collapse he had just suffered, nor did he look like he was about to die!
The five were astonished before realizing that this celestial being had actually been holding back his strength during his battle with Kunzhong.
Or more precisely, he was using some kind of secret technique to forcibly restore himself to his peak condition during the battle.
At this moment, he was like a lion awakening, his whole body brimming with power.
Using the counterforce of the five people's qi, the celestial being moved like the wind, quickly flying backward, his figure flashing wildly.
He grabbed Yan Qifeng and Gongsun Yang, who were lying dead nearby, and the three of them seemed to become one, or like a roc spreading its wings and soaring high, breaking through the waves in the chaos of the army.
Because of his desperate efforts, the celestial being's internal energy was gushing out like it was free.
At this moment, he frantically squeezed out his internal energy, like a surging river flowing endlessly.
His speed reached its peak, as fast as lightning.
His speed was increased to an exaggerated level, and he disappeared from the five people's sight in an instant.
The five members of the armored team looked at each other in silence; after all, they were only at the level of god generals.
It's acceptable to suddenly inflict a severe blow on that celestial being before he can even react.
However, they were somewhat helpless in the face of this celestial being who had returned to his peak condition.
That fatal blow, which was thought to severely injure him, unexpectedly helped him recover to his peak condition.
Moreover, that celestial being has forcibly recovered to his peak condition and is now focused on escaping.
How could those five possibly catch up!
"As expected, the Celestial Realm experts are no pushovers; they were able to use our power to recover from their injuries."
Li Xinnan said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed, clearly shocked by the strength of this celestial being.
"Not only that, his speed has also reached an unbelievable level."
Kunzhong added, a hint of seriousness in his eyes, "What should we do next?"
"This person's escape skills are indeed superb, but if the five of us work together to track him down, we might be able to find his trail."
Wu Dongshan, who was carrying the Wind Eagle Sword, suggested.
"No."
"This person is powerful and cunning. If we rashly pursue him, we probably won't gain anything."
"After all, he is a Celestial Realm expert. If he only wants to escape, it is unlikely that the five of us can catch up with him."
Li Xinnan shook his head and said that the most urgent task now is not to pursue the three people, but to deal with the Night Fiend Army detachment that Wei Qing had tricked into coming here!
This is the real big deal!
Upon hearing this, no one could refute it, after all, asking them to directly pursue and kill a Celestial Realm expert who was determined to escape.
That is indeed a bit difficult.
Therefore, all they could do was nod in agreement.
Although it's a bit of a shame that I didn't kill any enemy generals on the battlefield, the achievement of defeating the enemy army is even greater!
...
Wei Qing was staring at the ruins of the battlefield. The Night Fiend Army's detachment had been defeated by his ingenious plan. The soldiers were either wounded, killed, or captured, with less than one in ten surviving.
At this moment, Wei Qing looked around at the captured Night Fiend soldiers.
They sat or stood, their faces filled with disappointment and unease. Their former vigor had been defeated by reality, leaving only helplessness and confusion.
Wei Qing took a deep breath; he understood that comforting the person at this moment was of utmost importance.
"My lords, the war is over. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war."
"I know you are all loyal men, but each served his own master. Now that you have become prisoners, I hope you will be sensible, submit to the court, and work together to protect this land."
So he walked slowly to the captured soldiers and spoke in a calm but powerful voice.
"General Wei, although we have been defeated, we are not unjust people."
"If the court can treat us well, we are willing to serve you like dogs and horses."
As soon as he finished speaking, a captured general stood up, looked at Wei Qing with a firm gaze, and said.
There's nothing we can do; we've been completely crushed.
If you don't want to die now, you'd better obey.
Wei Qing nodded slightly after hearing this. He knew that these soldiers were all veterans who had fought in many battles, and that with proper guidance, they would surely become capable generals for the court.
"The imperial court has always been magnanimous. As long as you submit, past grievances will be forgiven. Moreover, you will continue to fight for this land, defend your homeland, and protect your people."
So he continued.
However, despite saying that, Wei Qing showed no intention of relaxing his supervision over them.
Ultimately, the only time we'll really use them is after the war with the Night Fury.
Or they could be thrown directly onto the battlefields of Cangzhou or even the Jiuxiao Army as cannon fodder.
Using them to fight the Night Fury is definitely unrealistic.
Otherwise, what would happen if they faced their former comrades and fellow villagers?
It's a miracle they didn't give in right then and there.
As Wei Qing finished speaking, the captured soldiers began to whisper among themselves and discuss the matter.
"We are willing to submit to the imperial court and serve it!"
Soon after, the general stood up again and spoke loudly.
Other soldiers echoed this sentiment, expressing their willingness to surrender.
Seeing this, Wei Qing felt secretly gratified.
"Pass down the order to reorganize the troops and join forces with the 30,000 troops of Cangzhou."
Wei Qing's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in every corner of the battlefield.
Upon receiving the order, the soldiers moved swiftly, assembling in formation, their iron cavalry like dragons, their banners fluttering in the wind.
After the combined forces were assembled, Wei Qing led his army northward, and the strategic locations and granaries within Hengzhou were successively recovered.
They were closing in on the flank of the Night Fiend Army, led by Night King Ye Wuhen, at Minglong Pass!
