Chapter 289 - 128: Muo Long: The Advantage Is Mine!
Under the leadership of Shi Jun, over a hundred Blood Curse Guards charged towards the Curse Witchcraft, forcibly ingesting the curse power into their bodies, and then pounced on the white-haired Xiaoyang.
The white-haired Xiaoyang was restrained on the spot, countless fingers tore at its body, and within just a breath, a layer of flesh was ripped off, causing a wave of blood to explode.
"Ah!"
A wretched scream echoed.
Around them, other Xiaoyangs, witnessing the white-haired Xiaoyang’s tragedy, were immediately terrified.
Not long after, their Ancestral Temple’s Sacrificial Spirit was peeled into a bare skeleton.
The Clan Chief led the elite War Soldiers south alongside the Vein Master, taking a large number of Celestial Vein Martial Artists from the clan.
They called out to the Elders and Myriarchs left in the tribe, but those seemed to have vanished.
The only Elder who appeared was soon killed.
Without the guidance of Elders and Myriarchs, the entire tribe instantly became a mess, completely unable to match the Human Race whose bodies were filled with soaring Evil Qi.
In those people’s bloodshot eyes, there was only indifference and slaughter.
The Muxian Tribe began to collapse, countless figures started fleeing in all directions.
The Blood Sea Guard Martial Artists paid no heed to those escaping; they continued mechanically swinging their blades, killing every Xiaoyang present, until no Xiaoyang remained in sight.
"Set it on fire!"
...Flames spread across the entire territory of the Muxian Tribe, stretching for hundreds of miles, the fire illuminating the night sky.
No one collected the corpses or the spoils of war; Tian Chuanshan led his men into the mountains without hesitation.
He planned to split the Blood Sea Guard into four groups again and turn north.
The objective now was to fight their way northward before the Xiaoyang could encircle them.
The territory of the Muo Yan Branch is long and narrow from east to west. They had entered from the west, and the Muxian Tribe, as one of the five major tribes of the Muo Yan Branch, was located at the westernmost part of the Muo Yan Branch.
This place was just outside the core region of the Muo Yan Branch, greatly ensuring that the Blood Sea Guard wouldn’t encounter more formidable forces of the Muo Yan Branch.
"Commander, if we just fight our way out like this, isn’t it too much of a loss?"
A dozen figures gathered close to Tian Chuanshan.
After days of continuous slaughter, every figure exuded Evil Qi, their armor caked with layers of dried blood.
Some of them still had surging blood energy emanating from their bodies, producing wailing sounds.
"What do you mean?"
"Dissolve into smaller units now."
"Exactly, we came into the mountains to avoid encirclement; we might as well go all out deep in Xiaoyang’s territory now."
"Who needs a map when the northern Giant Peak Mountain Range towers up high as our guide, ensuring no one gets lost."
"The vast wilderness and hills provide perfect hiding spots. Even if Xiaoyang has Tier Four in their homeland, if our eight thousand men scatter like seeds across the fields, Xiaoyang’s Tier Four won’t be able to do anything."
To serve as Thousand Captains in the Blood Sea Guard or be promoted to Celestial Vein Realm Martial Artists means almost all of them were the first batch of Blood Sea Guards.
After being redeployed to Ji Land, they had become the backbone of the expanded Blood Sea Guard.
One could say, every one of them participated in the "guerrilla warfare" against the Xiaoyang in the Northern Lands.
If other troops were to enter the Xiaoyang Race Territory, they’d worry about how to escape.
But for a group of Human Race martial artists who continuously cultivated using Xiaoyang Blood Pills, their thoughts and wills had long been altered by the stimulation of the pills.
What is life?
Is there anything more exhilarating than killing Xiaoyang and devouring Xiaoyang’s flesh and blood?
"Hahaha!"
A dozen figures gathered around Tian Chuanshan, and after whispering for a while, laughter erupted.
"Alright, Ancestral Temple Keeper indeed authorized me to act at my discretion before I left."
Tian Chuanshan glanced at his subordinates.
According to the plan, after quickly taking down a section of the Muo Yan Branch’s Xiaoyang Tribe, they would inevitably face a counterattack from the Xiaoyang Race.
Therefore, when setting the strategy, special consideration was given to this military campaign’s focus.
They must take advantage of the gap when Xiaoyang concentrated heavy forces to besiege them, to break out of Xiaoyang’s territory and enter the Northern Giant Mountain Range.
However, entering deep into Xiaoyang’s territory was a dangerous act where anything could happen, so before departing, Shen Can instructed Tian Chuanshan to act with discretion based on the situation.
"Within a quarter-hour, relay the order to every comrade, dissolve into small groups, hunt Xiaoyang.
Tell everyone, the northern mountains are the guide. If they find they can’t hold on, head north."
The Thousand Captains conveyed the order to the Centurions, and the Centurions summoned the Decurions to further pass down the orders, swiftly reaching each Blood Sea Guard Warrior’s ears.
No more running, dissolve into smaller units on the spot, hunt Xiaoyang.
Use whatever means necessary, any means they desire may be used. On the condition of ensuring their safety, they could go all out.
In the forest, the resting Blood Sea Guard Warriors, upon hearing this command, showed a spark in their blood-red eyes.
Tian Chuanshan walked through the forest, noting the change in expressions of the nearby warriors.
Each one of them was itching to fight, none shied away from the chaos, and not one worried about their safety.
Just as expected, it turned out like this.
"Centurions and Celestial Vein Martial Artists, come over, I’ll assign areas."
Seeing this, Tian Chuanshan hesitated no longer, gathering his men before him again.
"The task Ancestral Temple Keeper gave us is to damage the Muo Yan Branch’s tribespeople as much as possible.
Now we are on the western side of the Muo Yan Clan Land, heading east there are still many small tribes of the Muo Yan Branch and four major tribes.
Once dissolved into smaller units, don’t be particular about methods, and while slaughtering Xiaoyang, make sure more Xiaoyang tribesmen get wounded.
