Chapter 198 - 195: Continue the Attack_1
"General, can Wan Hongfei really pose any threat?" A blood-stained commander approached, brandishing his bloody sword, his face full of confusion. Nothing more than a dog running for its life!
"Wan Hongfei possesses the Deep Sea Star Body, ranking thirty-nine in potential prowess. The last martial artist with this physique achieved the pinnacle of the Great Emperor! Perhaps in His Majesty’s eyes, Wan Hongfei is just an ant, but it’s better to avoid further trouble, so killing him is for the best!" Yue Fei murmured. He had a hunch that the Qin Empire had gained another potential enemy. He really disliked this feeling!
"General, shall we dispatch some men to search?" the commander asked, raising his bloody sword with a menacing air.
"No need for us to do anything; someone is already on it! If they can’t capture him, any attempts from our side would be futile!" Yue Fei shook his head. Thinking of the elusive ’Abyss Guards,’ he couldn’t help but feel a chill. A saying spread among the Qin Empire’s upper echelons: if someone is targeted by the ’Abyss Guards,’ they’ve already got one foot in the grave.
The commander nodded, only half-understanding, and didn’t ask any more questions. Some secrets are not for him to know yet; perhaps he’d earn that privilege once he climbed a few more ranks.
"Let the army rest for a bit, then we’ll attack the Sea Clan!" Yue Fei commanded in a deep voice, looking out into the deep sea.
「...」
"General Zhao, all enemies have been annihilated!"
In the middle of the vast desert, a pool of blood shone brightly, like a ruby embedded in the sandy world. The ground was littered with the corpses of the Sand Scorpion Clan, their blood pooling in the hollows of the desert and giving off a putrid, metallic smell. Lv Bu held his Sky Piercer, which was covered in dried blood after long hours of battle, emanating strong Evil Qi and the aura of death. Countless Sand Scorpion Clan soldiers had died by this weapon in the recent engagement.
"After this battle, the Sand Scorpion Clan’s effective strength is almost exhausted. Conquering the remaining seven realms will just be a matter of time!" Zhao Yun said without turning, meticulously cleaning his spear with a silken cloth.
"How about we split our forces? It would save time!" Bai Qi suggested nonchalantly, approaching from a great distance with a few leaps.
"Absolutely not! The Sand Scorpion Clan’s lair lies beneath these sands. What if they still have some tricks up their sleeve? Don’t forget, they are an ancient race that has existed for hundreds of thousands of years and once suppressed the Light Divine Court!" Wang Jian strode over, offering a different opinion. His warfare strategy was more conservative; he preferred cautious and steady advances. Furthermore, the Qin Divine Court’s intelligence agency had yet to fully grasp the situation with the Sand Scorpion Clan. Bai Qi pondered for a moment and conceded to Wang Jian’s point. Indeed, it was better to be more cautious when waging war.
