Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Above the killing formation, it was as if an invisible hand had torn it apart, and three white-haired old men appeared like ghosts.

One of the old men, dressed in brown, casually clenched his fist and threw a punch downwards like a shooting star.

In the air in front of the fist, a water curtain about ten feet in diameter instantly appeared. The water curtain fell rapidly with the force of thunder, like a sharp sword, cutting into the earth and metal killing net without any hindrance, just enough to block all the killing moves that were aimed at Mo Yuming.

The incredibly violent attack energy left only faint ripples on the thin water curtain, as if the water curtain was mocking the powerlessness of these attacks.

"A Heavenly Realm expert!..."

The general looked up at the old man who had suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. He involuntarily reined in his horse and took a few steps back, as if he had seen the Grim Reaper descend!

"All teams, prepare the Demon-Slaying Arrows and Crossbows!"

The commander was on high alert, his voice filled with fear and tension, and immediately ordered a state of alert! Although this commander was already at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Rank, only half a step away from the Heaven Rank.

But having been stuck at the peak of the Earth Rank for many years, he knew very well that this half-step distance was like an insurmountable chasm, and the difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth. For example, at his peak of the Earth Rank, if a few soldiers were to lock onto him with demonic arrows, he would have to deal with them with extreme caution, as the slightest carelessness could cost him his life.

However, if it is a Heavenly Realm expert, even a newly advanced Heavenly Realm expert, even if surrounded by a dozen soldiers wielding demonic arrows, as long as this Heavenly Realm expert deals with it carefully, even if it causes harm, it will be like a gentle breeze across a lake, and it will not necessarily be in mortal danger. This is the chasm between Earthly Realm and Heavenly Realm.

If you want to pose a threat to a Heavenly Realm expert, you would probably need to fire at least a hundred Demon-Slaying Arrows simultaneously.

Although the team has several thousand crossbowmen equipped with magic-breaking arrows, the geographical limitations prevent the team from deploying into a battle formation, so they pose no threat whatsoever to Master Xi and his men. The entire army is only prepared to defend themselves.

The twelve cavalrymen who were besieging Mo Yuming broke down without a fight after Long, Hu, and Xi broke in. In less than ten breaths, all twelve men were subdued by Long and Hu.

The burly soldiers were like human-shaped radishes in front of the two old men, who grabbed them and threw them into a pile where they couldn't move.

Just as the enemy commander was hastily ordering his entire army to prepare for battle, Mo Yuming stepped out from behind Master Xi, straightened his clothes, patted his collar with an air of importance, and then gave the enemy commander a wicked smile, saying:

"That killing formation that surrounded me earlier was quite good, and its power was strong enough. It's a pity that it targeted the wrong person! Haha, but this formation is worth studying, so I can let my men learn from it."

If the opportunity arises, General, please experience my deadly moves! I wonder if the same killing formation would be effective against you.

"Dragon Lord, Tiger Lord, the three of you take these soldiers with you, but don't hurt them. When we get back, we'll need them to teach our soldiers how to practice that killing formation we just saw."

"Yes!"

The three old men each stretched out their hands and pulled the unconscious soldiers over from afar, lifting them up in their hands. Each of them carried two in each hand, like carrying rice dumplings, and followed Mo Yuming swaggering forward!

Despite their seemingly slow pace, Mo Yuming and his group had already covered a hundred feet in just a few breaths.

Just as the commander-in-chief came to his senses and was about to give the order to pursue, he heard a strange sentence coming from Mo Yuming, who had already disappeared ahead:

"General, please don't rush. It's getting late, and we don't want to travel at night. We'll rest in Wolf Valley ahead and wait for you to join us..."

The commander was startled and immediately halted the troops, turning to his strategist and asking:

"What place is Wolf Valley that guy was talking about? How far is it from here?"

"Reporting to the general, Wild Wolf Valley is about fifty li away from here. The terrain is relatively flat, and the hillsides on both sides of the post road are not high. However, the surrounding hillsides are covered with dense wild grass and thorns, and large numbers of wild wolves often appear around there. Therefore, the locals call that section of the valley Wild Wolf Valley."

The strategist replied.

"They're just some low-level wolves, only good for scaring ordinary people, nothing to be afraid of!"

The commander disagreed.

"General, Wangxiang Town is less than ten miles ahead. That fellow should have gone into town to rest. Why would he go all the way to spend the night in a deserted valley? He must be trying to trick us!"

The strategist analyzed.

"Even if he has three Heavenly Realm experts helping him, we have tens of thousands of heavily armored soldiers. If we form a formation and fight them, even if it costs us some money, we can definitely take them down!"

The commander did not pay attention.

"I'm afraid they're trying to lure us there on purpose, and maybe they've already laid an ambush to attack us under cover of night!"

Are there any places to camp in the towns and villages ahead?

"Reporting to the General, the town of Wangxiang is small, with only a few thousand people and less than a hundred soldiers stationed there. The town cannot accommodate us!"

The post road near the town was bordered by a marshland on one side and a dense forest on the other, making it too small and unsuitable for stationing troops! The only suitable place to station troops was about twenty miles outside the town, near the Wolf Valley area, where the terrain was relatively flat and ideal for garrisoning!

The strategist said with some concern.

"Due to the delay just now, it is already late, and the army has not yet arrived. Night has quietly fallen. It is not a bad idea to station troops here."

Although there are cliffs on both sides, the mountains are not steep, nor are the terrain high. Sending some soldiers to the top of the cliffs to keep watch as soon as possible will ensure peace of mind!

"As ordered!"

The explosion at Danger Valley the previous day had severely damaged this supply corps, and even the general of the heavy armor regiment had tragically died.

This commander was originally just a deputy general beside the general. After the reorganization, he was temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief and served as a substitute.

He was already terrified by the incident at Dangerous Valley, and after being swayed by Mo Yuming's few words, he became hesitant.

Deeply fearing that Mo Yuming might have set up an ambush ahead, they decided that resting where they were was the safest course of action, since Mo Yuming and his Heavenly Rank experts were heading forward.

The night, like a giant black curtain, finally descended slowly. The general sat in the military camp, but he could not calm down and rest.

Despite the deployment of heavy patrols and vigilance, even the resting soldiers are in a state of semi-alert.

"Bang", "Bang"...

"What is this sound?"

The heavy armored army commander, who was sitting upright in his tent cultivating, was suddenly startled awake by the series of explosions!

"Report! General, the military camp has been attacked by unidentified assailants! Heavy losses! Many soldiers have been killed or wounded!"

A soldier rushed in, looking flustered, to report.

"Where are the patrolmen? What are the men responsible for guarding the area doing?!"

The commander was furious.

"Reporting to the general, none of the sentries on standby detected any enemy intrusion, and there are no signs of any unusual spiritual energy around the camp!" the soldier who delivered the message replied tremblingly.
