Chapter 869: Chapter 586: Battle Erupts, Eternal Ghost Eye
The biting cold wind, laden with ice shards, howled across the snowfield, striking everyone’s faces with a bone-chilling pain.
Yagyu Jubei stared fixedly at the space equipment in Qin Tian’s hands, which had originally belonged to him, his expression extremely grim.
He knew that Qin Tian was a top-tier Space Element powerhouse, who had recently ventured alone into subspace to rescue the Great Elder of the Dan Tower from the hands of the Xieshen Association.
Such mastery of space could find few equals within the Empire.
Yet, even with mental preparation, he realized he had far underestimated Qin Tian.
Not only could Qin Tian strip the space equipment from his body without him noticing, but he also opened the storage space right in front of him, even with his soul seal still lingering on it.
Inside were not only two spiritual artifacts capable of awakening a soul, but also cherished belongings collected over the years, like elixirs, martial techniques, and secret intelligence.
However, he did not lose his rationality out of anger because he knew they were ready to take down Qin Tian. Once Kuroki Hitomi successfully enslaved Qin Tian with her secret technique, the space equipment would naturally return to its original owner.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Just then, a series of urgent sounds of air being sliced through arrived in succession, as the cadres of the Moon Ghost Army hurried over.
More than twenty Tier Six powerhouses hovered in the air, landing steadily behind Yagyu Jubei, Kuroki Hitomi, and Kyou Yagami; their spiritual energy waves were robust, and their expressions were stern.
The remaining tens of thousands of Moon Ghost Army members quickly assembled below, densely packed silhouettes covering the snowfield around the Spiritual Spring, all fully armed. The killing intent exuding from them gathered into a suffocating pressure, as if it were about to envelop the entire snowfield.
On Qin Tian’s side, there were only about twenty people following him, appearing particularly sparse against the backdrop of the Moon Ghost Army’s tens of thousands.
No matter how one looked at it, this was not an evenly matched battle; it was more like a one-sided slaughter.
Tens of thousands of gazes locked onto Qin Tian and his group, some contemptuous, some fierce, others mocking.
However, Qin Tian’s expression remained calm, and the twenty or so people behind him were all steady, without a trace of panic.
To them, as long as the Military Lord was ahead, they would fear nothing, even if the sky were to fall.
“General Qin, what is the meaning of you leading people into our Moon Ghost Army camp?”
Yagyu Jubei spoke in a deep voice.
Qin Tian glanced at him, his gaze slowly sweeping across the scene, as he spoke: “The Shinguji Clan only sent this bunch of rubbish to court death?”
His voice wasn’t loud, yet it pierced through the howling wind and snow, clearly reaching everyone’s ears.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell into dead silence.
Kuroki Hitomi’s eyes slightly raised, Yagyu Jubei’s gaze turned cold, Kyou Yagami’s eyebrows shot up, followed by a dramatic and sinister curl of his lips.
Below, the members of the Moon Ghost Army boiled over, staring at Qin Tian as if looking at a madman.
“General Qin.”
Yagyu Jubei spoke coldly: “You, as a Royal Major General, we of the Moon Ghost Army did not wish to have a conflict with you, but if you insist on provocation, then don’t blame us for being impolite!”
His expression was serious, but inside he was secretly sneering.
In such crucial matters of survival, having a justifiable reason is essential.
Actively attacking an Empire military stronghold and being forced to counter-attack are two entirely different things in terms of consequences and influence.
This time, they seized the Spiritual Spring and deliberately provoked to anger Bing Jihuan, to anger Qin Tian, forcing them to strike first. Meanwhile, the Moon Ghost Army would respond with a “forced defense” posture, thus gaining the moral high ground. Even if the Empire held them accountable afterward, they would have an excuse to defend themselves.
“Why waste words with him!”
Kyou Yagami could barely hold back, the mad blood within him completely boiling, eyes bloodshot, murderous intent nearly overtaking all reason, that suffocatingly thick, bloody murderous aura, unabashedly spreading.
“Do it quickly! I want to… kill them all!”
Yagyu Jubei and Kuroki Hitomi exchanged quick glances, reaching a tacit understanding without the need for many words.
Yagyu Jubei shouted forcefully: “Moon Ghost Army, everyone! Enter Level One combat readiness!”
Level One combat readiness signified a fight to the death.
Once the battle erupted, regardless of who the opponent was, regardless of age or gender, all enemies were to be killed without mercy!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, powerful spiritual energy auras erupted, reverberating across the snowfield like bolts of thunder.
The Spirit Warriors of the Moon Ghost Army gripped their weapons tightly, their murderous aura growing ever more intense.
The Spirit Mages behind quickly raised their hands, calling upon the power of elements in the world, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
In this moment of heightened tension, all of the commanders of the Ice Extreme Pass turned their gaze to Qin Tian.
With numbers greatly unequal, the disparity vast, with just over twenty of them at present, it seemed impossible to defeat tens of thousands of the opposing army by any means.
Yet, there was no fear in their hearts.
Calm and composed, never fighting a battle without certainty, has always been the Military Lord’s way of doing things.
Since the Military Lord dared to bring them here, he must have absolute assurance.
Sure enough, Qin Tian slowly spoke:
“During this time, I’ve recruited another batch of subordinates while I was outside. Today, you might as well meet them.”
As soon as the words fell, an extremely intense spatial fluctuation suddenly sprang up behind Qin Tian, and spatial ripples spread out layer upon layer, sweeping out like waves.
The next second, tens of thousands of figures appeared out of thin air, arranged neatly behind Qin Tian, an overwhelming, unmatched aura exploded forth, instantly overshadowing the Moon Ghost Army’s murderous intent, sweeping across the entire snowfield.
