Chapter Eighty-One: The Reinforcements Arrive

  Under the irradiation of the sunset, the originally peaceful Luoping Plain has now turned into a Shura Hell. The ground is littered with dense rows of corpses, and more than half of the earth has been dyed red with blood. At this moment, the sound of killing still continues unabated. The people from both the Fa Conference and the Tianjun Hall have all gone mad with slaughter, as if there were some ferocious demonic beasts chasing after them from behind.

  The four team leaders, who had all summoned their contracted beasts to help with the battle, still had many wounds on their bodies. However, those wounds had already scabbed over and were not bleeding for the time being.

  "Damn it, Yang Jie this little man really doesn't take the lives of soldiers as a big deal, I'm going to...!" Zhang Fei cursed, swinging his giant wolf-toothed club.

  "Everyone is supporting Pikou, I think the general should also arrive soon. If we lose Luoping yuan, our army will face difficulties." Fēng Tiān Míng swung out another sword light, beheading several enemy soldiers in front of him.

  Zhang Fei and the other two nodded, dancing with their weapons in hand, continuously harvesting the lives of enemy soldiers. They naturally understood the meaning of Feng Tianming's words. Luoping Plain was a place that was easy to defend but hard to attack. If it were occupied by the enemy, they would have to pay a great price to take it back. What was the price? The scene had already explained it - up until now, the Heavenly Army had used 200,000 troops to block the enemy's 500,000-strong army. Although the Heavenly Army had lost nearly 100,000 men, the enemy had paid the price of almost 300,000 men. This achievement ratio was not small!

  "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Four green sword lights shot straight towards the location of Feng Tianming and his three companions.

  "Ah!" The four people's faces changed slightly, and the next moment, they also sent out four green sword lights to welcome them.

  "Boom!!!!!! " A series of explosions sounded around the four people, and immediately afterwards, four beasts appeared in the field.

  Feng Tianming licked his dry lips and a strong fighting spirit appeared on his face: "Brothers, the opponent has arrived, let's go up."

  "Good." Zhang Fei and the other two responded in unison, their faces showing no fear, but instead a strong desire for battle.

  "Boom!" The four people from Fengtian Ming each faced off against a powerful swordsman, and the battle had begun. Man to man, beast to beast, the eight combatants clashed within a range of one kilometer, where not a single living person existed. Why? Because the swordsmen's sword aura was no joke! Although they were far inferior to the Sword Saint, they were much stronger than those other swordsmen. So before the battle even began, the soldiers on both sides who understood the situation retreated to a safe distance, unless they were brain-dead and stayed put.

  "ROAR!!!!!" The beast's roar echoed out, the explosion of Dou Qi sounded out, adding a lot of death knells to the battlefield.

  At a distance of ten miles from the battlefield, a large group of people and horses were quietly waiting. As soon as Leng Xiao Yao dismounted his horse, he heard the sound of beasts roaring from the battlefield, and with a look of surprise on his face, he said: "Huh? Huang Ge, listen, why is there the sound of wild beasts on the battlefield?"

  Huang Tao slightly furrowed his brow and said: "Young Master, that's not the sound of a wild beast, it's a demonic beast. It should be one of Tian Ming's contracted demonic beasts."

  "Ah! Demon beast!" Leng Xiao Yao suddenly felt embarrassed, he had really forgotten that in this space, warriors could sign contracts with demon beasts. He had been in the Tian Jun for several days and hadn't seen them release any demon beasts, so he thought they were just soldiers, and didn't think to sign a contract with one. It wasn't until now that he realized they all had one, how humiliating!

  "Not good, Young Master! If those kids release the demonic beasts at dawn, it means they've encountered a powerful enemy. Wait, how are there eight of them? Young Master, let's hurry and take action! We can't let Luoping Plain be lost!" Huang Tao exclaimed in alarm.

  Leng Xiao nodded and said, "Then we'll proceed with the original plan. I'll lead the vanguard to lure the enemy, while Brother Huang takes his men to lie in ambush at Luoping Valley."

  "No, the young master is a precious treasure, how can he go to take risks? Let us subordinates lead the army to lure the enemy instead! The young master will bring his troops to ambush." Huang Tao immediately retorted.

  "Huang, don't you still believe in my strength?"

  "It's not going to work, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of one in ten thousand." Huang Tao shook his head stubbornly in opposition. As for the battle between Cold and Ordinary, although he didn't personally take part in it, standing on the sidelines was no less pressure than being on the battlefield itself. He didn't want to go through that kind of mental torture again.

  Leng Xiao saw the stubborn look on Huang Tao's face and knew that if he didn't come up with something solid, today's plan to lead the vanguard would fall through. So, with a stern expression, he said: "General Huang, this is an order."

  "Master..." Huang Tao's face showed a look of difficulty, and he gazed at Leng Xiao Yao with a pair of pleading eyes, hoping that he would change his mind.

  Leng Xiao Yao ignored Huang Tao's pleading eyes and turned to the three team leaders, saying: "Leave 5,000 men behind, the rest follow me to lure the enemy, mount up."

  "Yes, young master." The three team leaders responded in unison, and the next moment, the three of them quickly mounted their horses. Six pairs of eyes with the same gaze looked at their general.

  "General, this is the young master's order, don't blame us!" The three battalion commanders each thought to themselves in their hearts. The next moment, the three of them swung their big hands and shouted: "Out!"

  "Charge!" Leng Xiao Yao slapped the warhorse and sped off in the direction of Luoping Valley.

  Huang Tao stared blankly at the departing figure of Leng Xiao Yao, and then stamped his foot heavily on the ground, instantly creating a deep footprint.

  "What are you all staring at? Mount up immediately and follow me!" Huang Tao shouted viciously at the five thousand men in front of him, as if venting the dissatisfaction in his heart from just now.

  "Yes, General." The five thousand cavalrymen responded in unison, but amidst their response, there seemed to be a hint of laughter.

  "Drive." Huang Tao didn't have the heart to care about his subordinate's smile at this moment, but in his heart, he was constantly praying that nothing would happen to his young master, otherwise he really didn't know how to face his commander.

  BOOM!!!!!! Feng Tianming's figure flew out again, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. His body was like a kite with its string cut off, plummeting straight down.

  "Roar!" The contract beast, Lava Tiger, seemed to have sensed that its master, Feng Tianming, was in danger. It let out a loud roar and abandoned its opponent, pouncing towards where Feng Tianming was falling. It tried to catch him mid-air, but unfortunately, the moment it moved, the Water Rhinoceros that had been entangled with it immediately blocked its path.

  Even so, Feng Tianming's opponent would not miss such a great opportunity. As Feng Tianming fell, the opponent's long sword darted over like a venomous snake, pointing directly at Feng Tianming's heart.

  "Be careful, Tianming." Zhang Fei and the other two made a big move, forcing their opponents back, and rushed towards Tianming's location, but unfortunately, they were still a bit slow.

  "Roar!" Tian Ming's contracted beast, the Blazing Tiger, seemed to have sensed that its master was in grave danger. The tiger's eyes widened and it opened its mouth wide, spewing out a wave of scorching flames. Unfortunately, just as the flames were about to hit their target, a column of water suddenly crashed down, thwarting the Blazing Tiger's attempt.

  "It's dawn." Zhang Fei and the other two had red eyes.

  Just as the enemy's sword was about to pierce Feng Tianming's heart, a iron rod suddenly emerged from behind Feng Tianming and struck the long sword with a clear metallic collision sound.

  "Clang!" Feng Tianming's opponent flipped over in mid-air and flew backwards, while the person who had stretched out the iron rod let out a muffled groan, their figure sinking down slightly.

  Feng Tianming hadn't even had a chance to clearly see the person who came when a burst of fierce fighting sounds erupted behind him.

  "Kill!" A cavalry of about 100,000 men riding war horses charged from the left side of the Luoping Plain.

  "Master?" Feng Tianming only now saw clearly that the person who had saved him was Leng Xiao, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He was surprised that his master could block an enemy's attack at such a dangerous moment. Could it be that his master's skills were as high as his own? Were they both great swordsmen?
