Chapter 649: Chapter 191: Ginseng Whisker Dragon King vs Du Tiechuan_2
The sword light seemed slow but was actually incredibly fast; it struck the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King’s true form almost instantaneously.
With a pained howl, although the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King turned its dragon head at the critical moment to avoid the vital spot, there was still a massive sword wound on its neck.
Du Tiechuan’s strike had nearly severed a large portion of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King’s neck!
The earthy yellow Dragon Blood gushed out like a waterfall.
Wherever the Dragon Blood flowed, it rapidly solidified and formed scabs, swiftly healing the wounds on the neck.
Despite the severe injury, at that moment the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King displayed its formidable healing power of its true form!
The Ginseng Whisker Dragon King gasped for air and once again spewed out a great Kun breath.
Du Tiechuan still chose not to protect the main army and released a second beam of sword light, attacking with full force again.
Boom…
The Heavy Armor Main Army diminished further, losing one-tenth of its troops in an instant; the Military Art’s enhancement was dispelled, and the dark iron flow’s heavy shadows suddenly collapsed.
Countless soldiers were reduced to their true forms, tumbling to the ground amidst pain-filled groans and screams.
Everyone was injured; some were critically wounded and died on the spot.
A new, horrific wound appeared on the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King’s body.
Du Tiechuan almost cut it in half at the waist!
“Die!” Du Tiechuan roared, breaking away from the troops and leaping into the fray.
He raised his sword high and brought it down upon the head.
The aura of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King was now less than half of what it had been, as it fiercely reclined backward, with countless ginseng whiskers clinging onto the mountain of Dragon King Giant Wood Mountain.
Dojo—Earth Dragon Nest!
In an instant, the battlefield within a hundred-mile radius was invaded, turning into a world of earthy yellow.
The ground rolled and swelled as countless dragons made of stone and earth converged and burst forth from the earth’s surface, charging toward Du Tiechuan’s tiny figure.
Du Tiechuan wanted to fly, but he was quickly sucked down to the ground.
The gravity of this piece of dojo changed according to the whims of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King, targeting Du Tiechuan.
Du Tiechuan found it not just difficult to move but even actions like raising his hand or speaking felt restrained by an immense, invisible force, making them very strenuous.
Du Tiechuan snorted coldly and was not surprised.
Liangzhu Country had long compiled intelligence that detailed the strength of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King.
It was originally a Demon Cultivator, and just its true form was extremely powerful. It had become the native deity of Thousand Peak Forest, enjoyed incense offerings, owned a dojo, making it even more formidable!
Du Tiechuan took out the Commander Seal and threw out a token: “Come out and fight!”
With his command, the military token suddenly burst forth with a blinding light.
The light completely dissipated in the next moment, and a massive Demon Beast appeared out of thin air, the size of a small hill.
The Transforming Spirit Level National Beast—Double-headed Badger.
It was thirty feet long and around twenty feet tall at the shoulder. With two heads, one on the left and one on the right, both sporting massive fangs that gleamed coldly.
Its thick neck was layered with flesh, muscles taut like a crescent moon. Its four limbs were like four powerful columns, each claw acting like a sharp steel pincer, the nails about one foot long and sharp enough to easily rip through steel armor.
Its tail was incredibly thick, around twenty feet long, with the end bearing spikes, resembling hundreds of long spears converging together.
As soon as the Double-headed Badger was released, it immediately engaged in battle. One head spewed fire, the other frost, aiming at the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King’s true form, charring its left body black and freezing ice onto its right.
Boom, boom, boom…
Du Tiechuan, the Double-headed Badger, and the main body of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King engaged in the most fierce combat.
No one dared to join the battle on this dojo. Merely the aftermath forced all Nascent Soul Level cultivators to keep their distance.
With the dual enhancements of Military Power and National Power, Du Tiechuan fought the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King who benefited from the powerful geographical advantage of the dojo. Their attacks, from the beginning, were carried out with their utmost efforts.
Every move was aimed at vital points, exhaustingly powerful. If one strike could kill, there would be no second!
The Double-headed Badger howled in pain and quickly fell, heavily wounded.
Although it had the enhancement of National Power, its overall combat ability was not at the level of Du Tiechuan or the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King.
Even within the Transforming Spirit Level, there were disparities.
Demon Art—Dragon Whisker Binding Heaven.
Divine Arts—Dragon King Divine Prison.
Demon God Skill—Burying Life Dragon Abyss!
In the dojo, ten-thousand ginseng whiskers turned into numerous Talismans. Talismans linked together continuously, forming chains that bound Du Tiechuan.
For a moment, Du Tiechuan was like a tiny mosquito trapped in a vast spider web.
Du Tiechuan snorted coldly, drenched in blood, gathering his remaining strength to deliver the final blow.
Swordsmanship—Heavenly Slash Sword Qi.
Swordsmanship — Thunderclap Green Blade!
Military Art — Heavenly Soldiers Daoist Battle Formation.
Military Art — Empty City Strategy.
His Sword Qi soared to the sky, attached to azure thunderbolts. Gang Qi erupted around him, transforming into thirty-six Heavenly Soldiers Daoists, swiftly forming a Battle Formation around him.
Ultimately, the three forces merged under the Military Art of the Empty City Strategy, transforming into a sword of the Military Family — Heavenly Soldiers Thunderous Slice!
Boom!
The thunder roared, cutting through countless Talisman chains.
Ginseng whiskers snapped, spilling the earthy yellow Dragon Blood across the sky.
The semi-transparent sword light hit the main body of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King, causing an internal catastrophic explosion.
On the spot, the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King was blown open with a massive hole, its dragon body nearly severed in two.
Its dragon body was damaged in countless places, sharp Sword Qi of the Soldier Dao jetted out from the hundreds of thousands of wounds.
With a mournful howl, the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King transformed into a yellow light and fled into the earth!
On Du Tiechuan’s body still lingered more than a dozen Talisman chains, leaving him no time to pursue.
He could only strike once more, shattering the dojo of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King.
As the dojo collapsed, another agonized roar of the Dragon King emanated from deep underground.
The roar quickly faded, indicating the Dragon King was burrowing deeper and deeper.
“We won!”
“We’ve triumphed!!”
“Quick, withdraw, quick withdraw.”
The army of Liangzhu Country cheered in unison, while the allied forces of Thousand Peak Forest retreated without a fight, including some Nascent Soul Level Cultivators, all with ugly expressions and panic-stricken hearts.
Countless admiring eyes converged on Du Tiechuan.
This Transforming Spirit Level Upper General, with an iron-like countenance and a determined expression, dragged more than a dozen Talisman chains, floating above the battlefield.
He loudly ordered the construction of a military encampment right there.
More than forty Array Masters floated into the air, waving the Talismans in their hands.
A multitude of Talismans fell like raindrops.
Streams of light wove together in the air, quickly gathering into a massive three-dimensional Array. The Array covered hundreds of acres, profoundly magnificent.
Then, more than sixty Artifact Refiners reached into their own pockets, taking out semi-finished Treasure materials they had already refined.
They threw the Treasure materials into the Array, matching each light spot or beam, filling the array foot, Array Eye, and other places with various Magic Treasures, weapons, and Military Flags.
Soon the Array transformed from Void to Real, becoming a massive military encampment.
It’s called an encampment, but it resembled a small fortress.
The main body of the fortress used Canghai Wood, Divine Sculpture Stone, and Qingcheng Iron, its entire body nearing a bronze hue, solemn and respectful.
There were many watchtowers at the edges of the fortress, with Military Flags fluttering on the city walls.
Inside, there were plenty of barracks as well as open spaces and drill grounds.
At the very center was the Commander Hall, with Red Copper Pillars around the hall carved with the four symbols of Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird, majestic in bearing.
Du Tiechuan landed in the Commander Hall and threw out several military tokens.
The gates of the fortress opened on all four sides, unleashing a strong suction force, pulling in the Heavy Armor Main Army according to the symbols on the military tokens, and neatly arranging them inside.
The Array Masters continued setting up defenses.
They first arranged a Bihai Soldier Tide Array around the small fortress. Then, in the middle circle, they set up a Thunder Net Locking Sky. Finally, in the outer layer, they constructed an offensive and defensive Gray Moon Flying Shield Formation.
The three layers of Arrays complemented each other, forming a complete defensive barrier without blind spots.
Once the Arrays were set up, they were successfully activated.
The Cultivators responsible for logistics went out of the city to clean up the battlefield.
Du Tiechuan summoned all the Main Generals to the Commander Hall.
He coughed a few times, openly coughing up blood, and said directly: “I fought to the death with the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King, both of us gravely injured. I must actively recuperate to strive for a swift recovery.”
“You must actively sweep through the various peaks, go all out to eliminate the Dragon King’s followers, destroy the mountains and temples, and cut off its source of incense.”
“Only in this way, little by little, accumulating advantages, can we harvest the ultimate victory!”
The Main Generals looked at each other, and the hall was silent for a time.
With a scoff, Du Tiechuan immediately announced that the following battles would include prompt merit awards, promotions, and fortunes.
The Generals were greatly motivated and agreed in unison.
