Chapter 535: Ancient Invincible Cavalry

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Let me ask you men and women, are you willing to trample over Mysterious Cloud Mountain with me?”

The voice was clear, not loud but not soft, and able to suppress the sound of horse hooves and armor clashing on the battlefield. In the ten miles surrounding Zong Shou, his voice could be heard.

Leidong was startled, even as a grade-8 peak martial path expert, his heart couldn’t help but feel shocked by the twelve hundred Dao soldiers and hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry. At this moment, Zong Shou’s words shook him back to his senses, and his eyes filled with confusion.

What was Zong Shou planning to do?

As the thought arose, Leidong realised that the area around was very strange. Apart from Jin Buhui, no one seemed worried at all.

When Zong Shou slipped off his robe to reveal the blood colored armor, his allies’ spirits were lifted. Xuanyuan Tong beside even muttered, “...it is finally going to begin? Witnessing the destruction of a sect...”

Zhao Yanran also spoke softly, but her eyes were filled with insuppressible excitement. “Is it finally about to begin? The death of Mysterious Cloud Sect, the crippling of Lingyun Sect!”

“Hehe! Kill! Kill! Kill! Who dares offend our Gantian Mountain! Today we will reap their four million people before we stop!”

Destruction of a sect? The death of Mysterious Cloud Sect?

Leidong and Jin Buhui exchanged glances. Xuanyuan Tong and Zhao Yanran, what did they mean?

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen charged out. So many that they could even drown the Monster King’s forces with their numbers. Set against those twelve hundred grade-6 Dao soldiers, after sealing his own chances at escape, did Zong Shou really imagine he could wipe out the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect?

As for those last words, they came from the mouth of Hu Zhongyuan. Leidong knew this fellow was a brat. Just now beneath the hill, he had been leading ten thousand guards, and killing for almost two hours. His body was covered in numerous wounds and his consciousness was already cloudy, which was why he didn’t bother censoring himself.

However, Zhao Yanran and Xuanyuan Tong’s words couldn’t have been spoken without reason!

Leidong suddenly had a thought, looking behind himself. What was exactly hidden within that black mist?

In this moment, he heard thousands of voice within that rose up, as though they had come from one person.

“We are willing to follow the ruler’s orders! Today we will trample Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect!”

The voices were suppressed, not loud nor soft, they could be heard dozens of miles away. As these words were said, thousands of Blood Armor Cavalry slowly exited the black mist. Tianqi smiled and dissipated the illusion. In an instant, a thick pillar of blood-like energy charged into the sky. A layer of blood mist spread out, grievance energy that caused the experts present to become terrified.

The appearance of these four thousand two hundred people seemed to alter the expressions of those hundreds of thousand of people scattered across the battlefield. Even those twelve hundred grade-6 Dao soldiers weren’t anything to be feared!

What was that?

Leidong felt his heart twist. Even when the many sects’ Dao soldiers had rushed out, he had only felt a little terrified.

However in the instant he saw that bloody cavalry charge out, for the first time he felt such deep fear, such trepidation...

Looking closely at this blood-colored cavalry, Zong Shou’s blood-red iron armor and halberd, Leidong thought back to something. He had heard of such a red cavalry long time ago.

However, he was unable to recall the name of these soldiers.

All of a sudden, a girl nearby spoke out in a startled manner, “Blood Cloud Iron Cavalry, it really is the Blood Cloud Iron Cavalry! Ancient invincible Dao soldiers...”

Leidong looked behind him, only to see an exquisite beauty, a woman no less attractive than Zhao Yanran standing not far away.

Kongyao? Wasn’t she the Great Shang Governor Commander? Why was she here?

In the next instant he finally came to his senses.

... Blood Cloud Cavalry! It really is the Blood Cloud Cavalry! Zong Shou had actually allowed this Wulie Country invincible iron cavalry that had once ruled a world, appear once more?

How did Zong Shou find so many martial ancestor experts? Where did he get so much armor?

Looking out, there were forty thousand two hundred of them!

According to legend, the grade-5 strength of the Blood Cloud Cavalry could go up against grade-6 Dao soldiers. Was that true or not?

If this was true, did the troops under Zong Shou have the ability to go up against the other shrines and sects in this world?

Leidong suddenly turned to see that the blood-colored cavalry was already behind Zong Shou.

Maybe they were feeling too suppressed before. Although their expressions were cold, their fighting intent was obvious.

What was even more intense was their killing intent. A strong vengeful aura covered the entire Mysterious Cloud Mountain.

At this moment Zong Shou raised the blood-colored halberd in his hand.

“Arrow tip formation! Today we will not be stopped!”

The four thousand blood cavalry responded with silence. They lined up behind him in a perfect arrow tip formation.

As they used a Blood Cavalry Kill Sutra, explosions spread out from within the cavalry army. Many energy veins connected with one another, including those of Zong Shou and Zong Yuan. All four thousand, two hundred and fifty-two people merged into one.

Following which, he raised his halberd high and pointed to the front.

“We are the Blood Cloud Cavalry, there is no battle we don’t win! Nothing we can’t conquer!”

Zong Shou wore a satisfied smile from atop his grade-6 dragon-horned winged horse, and then slowly accelerated.

When he reached a thousand feet, the ground shook when the hooves of thousands of dragon-horned winged horses landed.

In the distance, he could clearly see the faces of those twelve hundred grade-6 Dao soldiers, especially those at the front. Lingyun Sect really respected him. In the formation there were three grade-9’s, and twelve grade-8’s!

But who cared? The Blood Cloud Cavalry would definitely use the millions of lives here as sacrifice.

The halberd in his hand would taste the blood of these experts!

They were less than thirty thousand feet apart, before the two armies even made contact, their auras and intent started to clash.

However, right as they met, the twelve hundred Dao cavalry collapsed. Their martial intent had been ripped into shreds by the imposing iron cavalry army in front of them!

The Dao cavalry were terrified and gave out cries of fear. By twenty-six thousand feet, they were in chaos. Twelve hundred people turned ashen white in the face of that intense killing intent and grievance energy.

The demon sect person’s voice rose once more in the sky, “Blood Cloud Cavalry, Wulie Country’s Blood Cloud Cavalry! The ancient invincible iron cavalry, how is this possible? How could such strong Dao soldiers appear in this world once more?”

His tone was filled with disbelief, and also a hint of terror.

At this moment, everyone viewing the battle was filled with shock.

“Blood Cloud Cavalry! No wonder, no wonder! Where did Zong Shou get so many grade-5 martial ancestors from? Where did he get so many sets of Blood Cloud Cavalry armor?”

“Based on what I know, there were only three copies of the Blood Cavalry Kill Sutra. They were all recorded in copper tripod artifacts and hidden in the Wulie ruins...”

His lips turned white. Once again, thinking back to what Xuanyuan Yiren had said... ‘Do you know what the first trade between Kongqi sect and Zong Shou was?’ Could this be it?

His heart thudded as he suddenly stood up. “I remember–Kongqi Sect had thousands of these suits of armor!”

The moment he said that, everyone in the hall understood.

“Damn it! These Kongqi Sect people should really be split into tens of thousands of people! No wonder they dare to work with Gantian Mountain people, they probably knew...”

There were many unanswered questions. Where had he found the heart sutra, and those four thousand martial ancestors, how did he find them? However, the answers weren’t important anymore.

“Why are you standing there stunned for?”

Wuyue suddenly stood, and when he spoke he sounded like his heart was tearing apart. “Aren’t you going to send orders? To tell them to spread out! You know it is the Blood Cloud Cavalry and still dare to foolishly attack. Aren’t you asking to die?”

Yuankong felt only bitterness in his heart. The moment he saw that Blood Cloud Cavalry come out, the regret in his heart couldn’t have been described by words.

“Brother, don’t panic! The invincible fame of the Blood Cloud Cavalry is only a legend, it might not be true...”

Only when he said those words, even he himself didn’t believe them. action

The situation below was clearly laid out for him to see. Before they had even clashed, their forces were already showing signs of defeat...

Without even waiting for orders from above, the twelve hundred Dao soldiers, now twenty-three thousand feet from the enemy, all scattered and ran.

The four hundred Lingyun Sect Cloud Dragon Iron Swordsmen abandoned their beasts, their auras connected with one another. Numerous clouds of energy rose, like a cloud dragon charging into the sky. They directly turned around and fled towards Mysterious Cloud Mountain.

The lightning surrounding the two hundred Mysterious Cloud Lightning Warriors rose up into the sky.

The Daoling Wind Warriors of Daoming Sect also they flew towards the mountain.

They all used their fastest speeds to flee, only wishing for the ominous blood-colored cavalry to be as far away as possible.

Twelve hundred cavalrymen had instantly scattered.

The entire battlefield was utterly silent. All looking at these scenes had eyes filled with loss.

Especially the iron cavalry members of the various sects who were shocked and didn’t understand the situation.

... These were the most elite and strongest grade-6 Dao soldiers of the Donglin sects! Shouldn’t they charge over at the Gantian Mountain people and crush them to dust?

Why had they fallen before they even fought? Why did they not dare to fight head on even once?

.... Could this be considered fleeing after seeing the wind?

What was the blood-colored cavalry opposite them? Why did mere killing intent make it tough for their bodies and hands to move?

Such thoughts flashed in the minds of all the cavalrymen.

At this moment, Zong Shou’s eyes squinted in a dangerous manner.

Flee?

If they can escape from right in front of my eyes then the Blood Cloud Cavalry aren’t worth their invincible name!
