Chapter 1079: The Tide Has Turned
Sure enough, after Niu Xiaosan led the remaining twenty thousand troops to confront Hao Shuai and the others for a while, they were running out of arrows. Hao Shuai waved his hand, and ten Celestial Dao experts stepped forward simultaneously, each unleashing their martial techniques. In an instant, the earth shook, causing Niu Xiaosan to be flung backward by the powerful Qi. After spitting a mouthful of blood, he quickly got up.
A Celestial Dao One-Star expert couldn’t withstand those people’s attacks.
"Haha, Niu Xiaosan, oh Niu Xiaosan, I advise you to surrender to me. As you can see, with the support of the eight major sects, even with just sixty thousand troops, I can defeat Red-eyed Eagle’s sixty thousand within two hours." Thunder Tiger was dumbfounded by the bravery of this group.
He became even more reckless now.
"Hmph, you traitor, and you, you, you... all of you are traitors. How could Red-eyed Eagle have been bad to you? Why do you want to harm her this way?" Niu Xiaosan wasn’t really cursing but was stalling for time.
In such a battle scene, it was impossible for Red-eyed Eagle not to know, but mobilizing the army took time. As long as her sixty thousand troops arrived and combined with the twenty thousand here, there was still a chance to turn the tide.
"Hehe, those who can adapt to circumstances are wise. The Black Alliance’s influence is on the decline; we’re just trying to save ourselves. Opposing the Celestial Pill Sect won’t end well. Niu Xiaosan, you should surrender, and together us brothers will dominate the Black Alliance and serve the Celestial Pill Sect," Xue Kong advised.
"Fuck you, do you really think the Celestial Pill Sect will treat you as humans? Serving the Celestial Pill Sect? They’ll give you some sweetness at first, but afterward, they’ll kill you as they please. You’re overthinking it," Niu Xiaosan got a bit angry at this.
This group was still too young. The Black Alliance had dealt with the Celestial Pill Sect many times. If it weren’t for the Black Alliance’s numerous subordinates, the Celestial Pill Sect would have acted long ago.
The Celestial Pill Sect acts like a global policeman, appearing first wherever there’s inequality known to everyone in the cultivation world. Their aim is one: to garner as much benefit for the Celestial Pill Sect as possible. Without benefit, you’re an enemy. Once they use you up, if there’s no value left, they’ll either kill you or make you their servant.
"It seems you’re adamant about this, Niu Xiaosan?" Xue Kong sneered coldly.
"Elder Xue, no need to waste time talking to him. He’s stalling. Prepare to attack!" Hao Shuai said impatiently, watching them go back and forth with this pointless chatter.
Upon hearing this, the group nodded in agreement and immediately charged forward.
Niu Xiaosan felt troubled, as Red-eyed Eagle’s troops hadn’t arrived yet, which frustrated him.
Sixty thousand against twenty thousand, with internal and external cooperation, it was bound to be a fierce and brutal fight.
"Third Leader, you must escape! Chairman Hong still has sixty thousand troops, and we still have a chance to turn things around, but you cannot die. If you die, who will protect the Chairman?" An old general held onto Niu Xiaosan and urged, pushing him to the side.
"No, I won’t leave. I want to fight with my brothers. Even if I die, I want to die on the battlefield." Niu Xiaosan was just that stubborn.
"Third Leader, if you don’t go now, you really won’t be able to leave. The Chairman is still young, she needs your leadership. Quickly sneak away, return to the Chairman’s villa, the sixty thousand troops are guarding there, and they won’t have issues for the time being," the old general continued to persuade.
"I won’t!"
"Pa!"
At this moment, suddenly, two of Red-eyed Eagle’s former subordinates appeared behind him.
"Leave the Third Leader to you guys. Tell the Chairman that I, Old Zhou, am a hero, and in this life, I only admired Chairman Hong, who is humble and compassionate. I have no regrets to die for her." Declared Old Zhou, a Tunnel Three-Star expert, as he pushed the two aside and charged toward the enemy with the troops.
"Brothers, for our shared home, let’s fight hard together! Charge!" With a mighty roar, twenty thousand troops quickly charged into the crowd.....
Niu Xiaosan was knocked out by the chaos, carried away by two subordinates as they fled.
But upon reaching a forest area in the back mountains, they fell into an ambush and were shot dead. Only Niu Xiaosan was pinned down below, temporarily without mortal danger.
"Haha, Young Master Hao’s strategies are indeed brilliant, even managed to have us waiting here. Looks like there are two generals as well, not bad!" The two disciples of the Celestial Martial Sect, arranged by Hao Shuai to prevent any escape, were now extremely excited seeing the two they had shot dead.
However, when they approached, they suddenly discovered not just two but three people.
"Wow, there’s another one. Haha, pretending to be unconscious, huh? Then let me help you keep pretending. Die." One of them saw Niu Xiaosan was unconscious and assumed he was pretending, and immediately aimed the dagger in his hand at his neck.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
At that moment, three silver needles flew over; they were very ordinary, without any use of great techniques, but these two instantly fell to the ground.
Immediately, a figure appeared in front of Niu Xiaosan, kicked him twice, and found that he was unconscious. He let out a bitter laugh and dragged him into a small forest beside them for concealment.
With a melee happening ahead, it was impossible for him to pass through. Even with his Celestial Dao Five-Star strength, he wouldn’t underestimate everything. With sixty thousand troops and over a dozen Celestial Dao experts, even Chen Tianlong going was a death sentence.
Rushing to the Chairman’s villa area was definitely also suicidal because they would undoubtedly consider him an enemy.
Twenty minutes later, at the city gates, blood flowed like rivers with countless casualties. In the end, there were still ten thousand who surrendered. After all, they served the Black Alliance, many for just a living.
Faced with a life-and-death situation and amidst a failing situation, they chose to surrender.
But why hadn’t Red-eyed Eagle’s sixty thousand troops arrived so long, could it be too far away, couldn’t reach within half an hour?
Of course not; there was a problem within the troops.
Within Red-eyed Eagle’s forces, there appeared Undead, not just one or two, but ten in total. These Undead were unstoppable in the army, killing with ease, and crucially, no matter how they were struck, they wouldn’t die.
At the gap in the back mountains, two figures appeared, Wu Jun and Wu Conglin.
Wu Conglin was Hao Shuai’s master, and naturally, Hao Shuai’s plans would be shared with Wu Conglin. Wu Jun was simply tagging along. How could the Wu Family pass up such a good opportunity?
Indeed, these ten Undead were what Wu Conglin had previously researched, the Death God, and these were the upgraded version, Death God II. They possessed the strength of Celestial Dao Three-Star, with the defensive capability of Celestial Dao Five-Star. In essence, any force below Celestial Dao Five-Star was ineffective against them.
So, with these ten Death God IIs, Wu Conglin and Wu Jun could watch the show as Red-eyed Eagle’s sixty thousand troops were thrown into chaos.
