Chapter 287: Chapter 147: Qingcheng Prefecture is defeated, the formidable Luo Family_1
Not long after,
the armies of the Luo Family and Qingcheng Prefecture clashed.
At first, the Qingcheng Prefecture side had not noticed anything amiss.
But as time passed, the situation gradually started to feel somewhat off.
For they gradually discovered
that there was always a young man on the battlefield, dressed in a yellow monk robe, clutching a string of Buddha beads that were yellow with a tinge of dark red,
who was madly slaughtering the leaders of the Qingcheng Prefecture side.
Besides the young man in the yellow monk robe,
there were also about a hundred heavily armored cavalrymen on the battlefield, riding black Mo Yu unicorns.
Their cultivation ranged from Skin Refinement Perfection to Bone Refinement Perfection,
and even a few were at the Viscera Refinement Initial Stage.
They were like death gods, rampantly butchering the Qingcheng Prefecture’s army on this section of the battlefield.
And regarding the strangely-dressed monk,
and the heavily armored cavalry made up of cultivators with an ominous aura,
the Qingcheng Prefecture side had no means of countering them.
…
“General, something has gone wrong…”
On the Qingcheng Prefecture side,
in the central command of the more than nine hundred thousand-strong army,
stood Ao Ding, donned in dark red armor, over two meters tall and extremely robust in stature.
At the moment, he stood in silence,
with the high-ranking generals of this Qingcheng Prefecture army behind him.
“General, a strange monk has suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and, and…”
“A hundred cavalry clad in dark armor riding black horses.”
“They are crazily slaughtering our troops.”
“Heads rolling everywhere, corpses strewn across the fields…”
“Our vanguard is about to falter…”
In front of Ao Ding,
a soldier conveying the message
kneeled on one knee, head slightly bowed, quietly speaking with an anxious expression.
“A monk?”
“And a hundred heavily armored cavalrymen?”
Hearing these words, Ao Ding’s brow slightly furrowed.
As for the monk, let’s set him aside for a moment.
But that so-called hundred heavily armored cavalrymen, even if they were fiercely strong, how strong could they possibly be?
Under the covering force of an army like a tidal wave,
those heavily armored cavalrymen might be fierce, but they should fall amidst the grand army.
How could they possibly be as the soldier in front of him described?
However, the soldier before him clearly wouldn’t dare to deceive him,
so Ao Ding was somewhat puzzled and confused.
“General.”
The Ao Ding before him seemed to fall into deep thought,
when suddenly, a general behind him spoke up, “General, back then in Wan Mountain Valley, the Xu Family transported a total of one hundred Mo Yu unicorns to Huai Shui County…”
Ao Ding pondered for a moment, then asked, “Are you suggesting that the Luo Family got their hands on those one hundred Mo Yu unicorns?”
The general behind Ao Ding silently nodded his head.
After all, at this point, it seemed to be the only explanation that made sense.
Black horses, heavily armored cavalry—
And with those heavily armored cavalrymen rampaging through the battlefield as if entering a land of no resistance,
this led the people on Ao Ding’s side to believe that the Luo Family’s hundred heavily armored cavalrymen were riding Mo Yu unicorns.
If the Mo Yu unicorns were paired with cultivators on the battlefield,
the power they could unleash was definitely not to be underestimated.
“If that’s the case, it seems we, too, must take action to stop them,”
“Otherwise, if we allow those hundred Luo Family heavy armored cavalrymen to run rampant,
“winning this engagement against the Luo Family will indeed be difficult…”
…
As the Qingcheng Prefecture’s main force was mobilized,
the offensive power of those hundred Mo Yu Cavalry was indeed somewhat restrained.
But the situation on Luo Qingshan’s side
remained the same as at the beginning.
Forget about those at the Viscera Refinement Initial Stage, even generals at the Organ Refinement Intermediate Stage
couldn’t last a mere cup of tea’s time in his hands.
On Qingcheng Prefecture’s side, those at the Organ Refinement Late Stage,
were only those like their main general, Ao Ding.
Meaning, if they wanted to curb Luo Qingshan’s endless slaughter,
if they wanted to stop the losses of Qingcheng Prefecture’s generals,
he had to appear in person and face Luo Qingshan one-on-one.
“This Luo Mountain Prefecture Luo Family…”
“is truly not as simple as it seems!”
Inside the central command of Qingcheng Prefecture, Ao Ding looked towards the figure clad in a yellow monk robe in the distance,
appearing to be a monk yet ceaselessly creating a multitude of slaughter,
his eyes slightly narrowing.
After a moment of silence, he eventually stepped forward.
And with Ao Ding’s step forward,
the clash between Qingcheng Prefecture and Luo Mountain Prefecture Luo Family
gradually shifted from a collision between armies to a confrontation between cultivators.
If the Luo Family side won, the victors of this war would be Luo Mountain Prefecture Luo Family.
If Qingcheng Prefecture’s side won, the victors of this war would be Qingcheng Prefecture.
This battle indeed carried risks,
but the rewards were equally great.
…
In Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land,
within the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided,
Luo Ping sat in the main seat, quietly looking at the letter from the front line in his hands.
As he read, he couldn’t help but sigh softly,
then placed the letter on the table,
a look of worry fleeting across his eyes.
Luo Qingshan’s actions were truly too risky.
Directly giving up the advantage of defense,
confronting Qingcheng Prefecture head-on.
Although, after a year of cultivation, Luo Qingshan’s strength had greatly improved.
