Whew!
The air emitted a heavy whistling sound, as the massive Wolf Fang Club in Jiang Shi's hands felt weightless like a dead branch, and it fiercely swept towards the person approaching.
The faces of the three Bandit Army leaders changed in fright, and they quickly slapped their horses' backs, leaping swiftly into the air.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The warhorses beneath them were hit hard by the Wolf Fang Club, letting out whinnies, flipping over forcefully, and falling to the ground with bones broken, breathing more out than in.
The three Bandit Army leaders quickly landed in the distance, blood rushing up, unable to stop from staggering.
They were both shocked and awed, looking at Jiang Shi.
This guy!
A monster!
Truly a monster!
Even more monstrous than Yang Lian!
Even though they hadn't directly collided with Jiang Shi, just the force wind from the Wolf Fang Club made their skin sting, their hair stand on end.
If they hadn't retreated quickly, they'd definitely have died miserably.
"Retreat!"
The three Bandit Army leaders were remarkably decisive, not lingering after their horses were killed, turning and leaving, rushing into the chaotic crowd.
Jiang Shi could finally catch his breath, quickly retreating once more, tightly gripping the Wolf Fang Club in his hands.
The entire battlefield was chaotic, filled with shouting and the clashing sounds of swords.
A sea of people, endless as far as the eye could see.
Jiang Shi truly understood the terror of ancient army warfare!
In such chaos, it's extremely difficult to distinguish friend from foe, most are likely just swinging swords blindly.
While retreating, Jiang Shi encountered two or three Red Flame Army soldiers attacking him, but all were smashed to death with a single strike.
He was recovering his strength while retreating to a safe part of the battlefield, not intending to continue charging into battle.
His previous performance was too dazzling, and he's worried if he continues killing, he'll likely be targeted by enemy super experts.
Though he has the Wolf Fang Club made from Star Meteorite Iron, if the enemy sends hidden weapons, releases poison, or fires crossbows, it will be hard for him to resist.
So, safety comes first.
During his swift retreat, he soon felt waves of tingling sensations throughout his body.
His eyes flashed, and he immediately opened the panel, quickly glancing it over.
The Reputation Value had impressively reached 2720 points.
An increase of 2000 points all at once.
"Seems like in this battle between the two armies, I've really made a name for myself, increasing by so many points at once."
Jiang Shi thought to himself.
It's practically getting rich overnight!
But finding such an opportunity again in the future will be difficult.
After all, not every time will present such a chance.
He closed the panel again, looked towards the chaotic crowd, intending to find Chi Huo and Chi Long of Zhenwu Temple, but found it impossible to spot them amidst the swaying figures and deafening battle cries.
Jiang Shi maneuvered through the relatively safe areas, occasionally swinging the Wolf Fang Club to kill off rogue soldiers charging at him.
For the first time, he felt time moving exceptionally slow.
The sounds of screams, the splashing of blood, the sight of fallen corpses, intensely stimulated one's nerves, causing a sense of mental chaos.
Time seemed to be at a standstill.
Who knows how long had passed.
Suddenly, an even louder shouting and killing sound came from the front.
The crowd seemed to explode in excitement.
Following that, Jiang Shi noticed the chaotic battlefield finally shifting, where the entangled groups just now suddenly separated.
The Red Flame Army surged forward with overwhelming momentum, their cries like burning fire sweeping forward, while the Red Turban Army fled miserably, shedding armor and helmets, like dried leaves scorched by fire, dying in droves, scattered and unable to regroup.
Jiang Shi was taken aback.
"Did we win? Is this victory?"
However, this victory came too suddenly.
Just a moment ago they were endlessly locked in combat, hard to distinguish.
Next moment, it had suddenly turned one-sided.
But now is not the time to think much, Jiang Shi wielded the Wolf Fang Club, rushing forward with the crowd.
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
···
After the melee, the ground was covered with corpses.
Everything finally stopped by dusk.
The massive plain was strewn with countless bodies, crimson blood almost soaking through the ground.
As the fierce wind blew, the nauseating smell of blood hit people's noses and mouths, making many want to vomit.
Front of Profound Dragon Pass.
Among the thousands of corpses.
Yang Hongtian, clad in green robe and armor, was sitting high on his battle horse, full of vigor, smiling, covered in blood, and even the horse had been splattered with blood, turning the whole scene bloody red.
He seemed to have transformed into a war god within the army, exuding an indescribable aura.
"Splendid, splendid, hahaha... Zhao Tianlong, just a wretched child, dares to oppose the court's mighty army, and this is the outcome!"
Yang Hongtian laughed.
"All thanks to the General's expert leadership, otherwise, how could we achieve such an easy victory?"
Zhang Shan, in silver robe and armor, spoke with a smile.
"Indeed, relying entirely on the General's leadership, bringing us out from desperation!"
"The General's command is excellent."
"The General is a great hero!"
···
Surrounding soldiers and some Jianghu figures all spoke.
"Alright, no need to flatter me, this victory was most critical due to morale, if not for everyone here fighting bravely, defeating Zhao Tianlong so easily wouldn't be possible."
Yang Hongtian said calmly, "Even though Zhao Tianlong suffered a crushing defeat, he's like a centipede; although he's down, he's not out. This time he escaped, next time he'll likely strike back. I wish to completely eliminate him so he can't rise again. When you return, discuss some strategies."
Everyone nodded.
"By the way, where is Jiang Shi? Have him come see me!"
Yang Hongtian finally remembered Jiang Shi.
Such a fierce general must be kept close.
"I'll find him!"
A young officer clasped his fists and retreated.
In the rear of the crowd.
Elder Chi Huo, Elder Chi Long, and a few Zhenwu Temple disciples were found in a pitiful state, covered in blood, finally managing to regroup with Jiang Shi, speaking with relief.
"It's great to see you're okay, Jiang Shi. When we return, I'll write to the Sect Leader and have him summon you back immediately. The battlefield is too dangerous, you can't stay here longer. A talent like yours accidentally lost in battle would be Zhenwu Temple's greatest loss."
Elder Chi Huo spoke.
"Indeed, you need to return to the sect to focus on cultivation."
Elder Chi Long agreed with a nod.
This time, Zhenwu Temple suffered heavy losses, losing nine out of ten of its outer sect disciples and four to five of the Inner Sect disciples.
It was truly brutal.
They worry that one day Jiang Shi might suffer the same fate.
Battlefields aren't like ordinary Jianghu competitions, here people use sheer numbers and even a Martial Saint caught in the midst can be beaten to death, let alone Jiang Shi.
"Alright."
Jiang Shi nodded, "But I worry General Yang won't easily release me."
"Won't easily release?"
"Hmph, even if he doesn't release you, we'll forcibly send you away. We can send more experts to replace you if needed."
The two Elders snorted coldly.
They absolutely don't wish for Jiang Shi to take any more risks.
And Jiang Shi himself certainly doesn't want to linger on the battlefield.
His strength increases by a hundred pounds a day, just find a place to lay low, and he'll be unbeatable in a few years, why risk it on the battlefield?
"Where is Jiang Shi? The General summons, come quickly!"
Suddenly, a loud voice came from afar.
A young officer rode swiftly over on horseback.
Chi Huo and Chi Long's faces immediately changed, turning the color of iron.
"Jiang Shi, remember, no matter what Yang Hongtian says later, do not agree with him. Tell him everything is decided by the sect, you can only listen to the sect."
Elder Chi Huo whispered.
"Alright."
Jiang Shi nodded again.
