Chapter 1462: Chapter 1459: Enemy Forces Approaching (Part 2)

"Haha, good, I’ll leave these elite troops to you, just don’t mess it up," Kuang Chenggong said and quietly left.

Kuang Baoshan didn’t dare to delay, urgently took the thirty elite soldiers back to the training camp, assigned the tasks, then directly headed to the previous mountain top for simulated training, returning only when it was pitch dark.

A day’s practice, along with these top-tier experts, showed better comprehension and control, mastering it basically in half a day,

Now, Kuang Baoshan was just waiting for the right moment!

A night passed without words, as dawn broke, the Kuang Family Army began their preparations. This time, Kuang Chenggong dispatched fifty thousand troops to encircle the Assassin Group, not letting a single one escape.

This was a hefty cost for Kuang Chenggong, but it aimed to seize the Assassin Group and caution the Huaxia people against further resistance, which was futile.

"Everyone ready? Prepare to depart, destination: Assassin Group!"

Kuang Shengtian, mounted on horseback, looked at the vast army, feeling immensely excited. Although he had led troops before, they were only a few thousand strong. This time, his father entrusted him with fifty thousand troops; how could he not be thrilled?

"Ready!"

The soldiers replied in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

"Good, let’s move out!"

Following Kuang Shengtian’s command, the army began to advance slowly towards the Assassin Group, estimated to reach in two and a half days.

Meanwhile, a day after Kuang Shengtian deployed, Kuang Chenggong and Kuang Baoshan took thirty mid-stage Innate Prophet experts, preparing to head to Lan Mountain.

"By the way, lord, you said you’d go with us to the Assassin Group peak, why don’t you need a flying instrument?" Kuang Baoshan asked puzzled, wondering how Kuang Chenggong planned to reach such a high place.

"Haha, do you think I still need those?"

Kuang Chenggong replied, drawing a sword from his waist, tossing it on the ground, then intersecting his hands, reciting a spell-like incantation.

Suddenly, the sword expanded dramatically, could accommodate about three people standing, its blade wide enough for two feet.

Next moment, the sword rose slowly, circled around before flying to Kuang Chenggong.

Kuang Chenggong leapt onto the blade, tilted forward, and the sword zoomed away at an astonishing speed.

"Sword Control Skill?"

Kuang Baoshan finally recognized it as the Sword Control Skill used by Chen Tianlong. How could the lord learn it too? Truly remarkable.

"Haha, yes, it’s Sword Control Skill."

Kuang Chenggong quickly returned, seeing Kuang Baoshan’s astonished gaze, before he could react, explaining while laughing.

"Lord, how did you learn Sword Control Skill?" Kuang Baoshan was still unclear.

Seeing his confusion, Kuang Chenggong chuckled, "I couldn’t before, but when my power reached Great Perfection Limit of Innate Prophet, a Sword-controlling Qi appeared in me, enabling sword flight."

"Ah? Reaching Great Perfection Limit of Innate Prophet naturally allows sword flight? Is it really like that?" Kuang Baoshan was learning this for the first time.

"Yes, barring any accidents, most can use sword flight."

Kuang Chenggong explained with a light smile.

Truthfully, he hadn’t known either, but when he reached the final level of Phantom Divine Skill, the Heart Method added a note explaining the benefits after reaching late-stage Great Perfection Limit of Innate Prophet — sword flight.

Though Kuang Chenggong’s Sword Control Skill, like Chen Tianlong’s Unity of Man and Sword, shares a similar principle, it differs slightly in beginner requirements.

Kuang Chenggong and others needed to reach Great Perfection Limit of Innate Prophet for sword flight, whereas Chen Tianlong’s Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique allowed unconditional sword flight, achievable by reaching the fourth level.

This was the heaven-defying part of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, offering benefits to the destined.

However, Chen Tianlong remained unaware for now.

"That’s great, we’ll have a chance for sword flight in the future too," Kuang Baoshan was thrilled after hearing Kuang Chenggong’s narration, excited at the thought of flying.

In fact, there were many unknowns, like achieving Extreme Dao, enabling sky flight, while further progression allowed spatial movement.

But that’s a story for later.

After preparing, Kuang Chenggong and Kuang Baoshan, along with the experts, set off swiftly towards Qi Huang Mountain.

Their initial route mirrored the army’s, but at a fork, they sped towards a different path, intending to reach Qi Huang Mountain early and scout the location.

A period of southwest winds was critical; otherwise, the mission might fail. A weather expert in Kuang Chenggong’s army stargazed and informed him of the prevailing southwesterly winds barring any surprises.

To Kuang Chenggong, the southwest wind was heaven’s aid, while to Wu Guangzu, it was heaven’s curse!

Upon learning this, Kuang Chenggong was elated, promptly leading the experts towards Lan Mountain.

The army marched through the night, planning to rest once they arrived, anyway they’re not afraid of the mountain army attacking on their own, they would welcome it, saving a lot of trouble.

But the Assassin Group has a perilous location. They have experienced several such battles and know that people from the Assassin Group would not recklessly descend the mountain to attack, so they are relatively relieved.

Thus, Kuang Shengtian decided to march through the night, directly camping at the foot of the Assassin Group.

Above the Assassin Group.

Wu Guangzu has already trained to a critical state, he knows that the time for Kuang Chenggong’s attack on the Assassin Group is not far off. Today, a sentry from the northwest direction reported to Ru Nian that a large army was slowly approaching ahead.

At this critical moment, Ru Nian was unable to make a decision. Although Chen Tianlong is the strongest inside, he is ultimately a junior brother and cannot take charge; the decision still falls to the Sect Leader of the Assassin Group.

Hence, Chen Tianlong and Ru Nian came to the cave and informed Wu Guangzu of the truth.

Upon hearing this, Wu Guangzu was extremely worried, although he knew that this battle would come sooner or later, he did not expect it to come so quickly.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, what should we do? According to the sentries’ report, the other side has roughly forty to fifty thousand troops, and they’re planning to besiege us."

Ru Nian was also anxious, if it were ten or twenty thousand people it wouldn’t be a big deal, but fifty thousand, and it’s Kuang Chenggong’s elite army.

Although the terrain of the Assassin Group is perilous and easy to defend but hard to attack, the enemy surely knows this, since they are here they must be well-prepared and won’t recklessly attack. But what exactly do they have up their sleeve?

The attendees were still unclear.

Wu Guangzu’s brows furrowed tightly, he thought about it and felt that now they can only resist desperately. If they abandon the mountain and leave now, they could survive, but they would surely have given up the Assassin Group.

If that happens, the Assassin Group will have no day to rise again.

The enemy learned their lesson last time, surely they will put heavy troops on guard in the future, wanting to reclaim it will be immensely difficult.

"Huff....."

Wu Guangzu took a deep breath, now there was no way to go but to break the cauldrons and sink the boats, otherwise, the century-old foundation of the Assassin Group would be lost.

"This time, no matter what, we must not lose the Assassin Group, pass my order to defend the Assassin Group to death, live and die with the Assassin Group." Wu Guangzu finally made a painful decision.

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Tianlong and Ru Nian said in unison.

After speaking, Wu Guangzu waved them away, indicating for the two to leave. He had to seize every second to train, striving to break through to the seventh level Great Perfection of the Godless Technique as soon as possible.

This way the strength will soar, when the enemy attacks the mountain they can be blocked, at least a few of the enemy’s generals can be taken down, and the remaining soldiers’ morale will surely plummet.

Thinking about this, Wu Guangzu closed his eyes, but found that no matter how he tried, he couldn’t calm his mind. Truly the more anxious, the worse it gets; suddenly a stream of Powerful Qi reversed, Wu Guangzu immediately felt something was wrong and quickly stopped the cultivation technique.

"Huff....."

Just now it almost went bad, he knew the harm of Powerful Qi reversing for a practitioner, it could lead to Demonic Possession and even instant death.

But time is running out, after resting for a while, Wu Guangzu began to adjust his mood, slowly becoming much calmer. Before long, Wu Guangzu started training to continue his breakthrough again.

A day passed without words, yet another night came, this night was destined to be a sleepless night.

Because Kuang Chenggong’s army was already stationed a mile under the Assassin Group. And after having dinner, Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting were also not in the mood to wander, but Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered something.

"Kuang Chenggong usually fights battles with certainty, if he knows very well that the Assassin Group is hard to attack, we have around six thousand troops above, and we have made all kinds of preparations to face the battle. If I were Kuang Chenggong, I absolutely wouldn’t fight, it would surely be a heavy loss, even if won in the end, it would be unbearably tragic for oneself."

Chen Tianlong thought, "Then there’s only one situation, and that is coming well-prepared."

At this time, Wu Mengting came over, seeing Chen Tianlong frowning, knew he was thinking. So, she anxiously asked, "Chen Tianlong, are you thinking? There are so many troops down the mountain, are we very dangerous this time?"

"Uh-huh, this time is extraordinary, likely we will all die here." Chen Tianlong looked deeply at Mengting and continued, "Are you afraid?"

"Hehe, Mengting is not afraid, as long as Chen Tianlong is here, there’s nothing to fear."

Wu Mengting was so calm, although there were so many people at the foot of the mountain, she still did not feel her own danger. So Wu Mengting paused for a while, walked over and said, "Chen Tianlong, actually I don’t feel danger, the two of us."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Tianlong asked somewhat puzzled.

"Hehe, didn’t you say I’m an Innate Prophet? This time, though the army approaches, I don’t feel danger for the two of us, the others I can’t sense, not sure why though."

Wu Mengting expressed her true thoughts.

"Is that so, maybe it is, doesn’t matter, Mengting you can rest assured, as long as I have a breath left, I will not let anything happen to you." Chen Tianlong smiled and said.

"Uh-huh, thank you, Chen Tianlong."

Mengting blushed, nodding her head.
