Chapter 120: Sweeping the World (VI)_1
The front lines of the Wuling Domain were ablaze with war! Because the Saber Prefecture had suddenly joined the battle, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, caught off guard, suffered heavy casualties. The ground was strewn with corpses, marred by horrific saber wounds. After all, they were not the fifty thousand elite cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, who possessed unrivaled combat power and could even manifest an army soul. They were merely ordinary troops of the Qin Empire, at a distinct disadvantage against long-established forces like the Sword Sect and the Saber Prefecture.
The only reason they had managed to hold on until now was sheer determination! Lv Bu’s appearance boosted their morale, instilling in them a determination to win, which in turn unleashed their extraordinary combat power.
Thank heavens the Saber Prefecture arrived in time! A sigh of relief escaped the Sword Sect elder. Surveying the battlefield, he nodded in satisfaction. The pressure on the Sword Sect disciples had significantly decreased since the Saber Prefecture disciples entered the fray.
This restored his confidence and reignited his ambition to rival the Qin Empire. Come on! Let’s fight!
"Order the entire army to—" the Sword Sect elder roared, his eyes glowing brightly. Just as he was about to issue the order to counterattack, a Core Disciple rushed forward, pale-faced, reporting in a trembling voice, "Elder, there is important news from the Sect!"
"What is it?" the Sword Sect elder asked irritably.
"The Sect Master has fallen! The Deputy Sect Master has ordered us to surrender!" the Core Disciple hesitated a moment before reporting.
"What?!" The Sword Sect elder was astonished, his face blanching, then turning livid, then ashen black.
The fall of the Sect Master was a devastating blow. He understood the Sect Master’s significance; he was the spiritual icon of the Sect. Within the Sword Sect, the Sect Master was the most powerful! That was why the Deputy Sect Master had decided to surrender immediately upon hearing of the Sect Master’s demise.
"Then... let us surrender!" The elder looked desolate. He glanced at the bloodstained battle sword in his hand with a hint of reluctance before casting it aside.
With this command, the morale of more than one hundred thousand Sword Sect disciples plummeted. One after another, they dropped their weapons and walked out to surrender.
