Martial Saint through Reading

At the rear of the army, Blood General Kui Nong of the Blood Demon Army and Commander Zhuu Tong of the North Snow Army leisurely rode their tall mounts.

To them, it was as if this place was not a battlefield.

"The Qi Blood of the Blood Evil Array is soaring to the sky. General Kui Nong, your tactical skills are divine."

Sitting on a snow bear eating a corpse, Commander Zhuu Tong of the North Snow Army leisurely praised.

"I can’t compare to Commander Zhuu. This battle depends entirely on Commander Zhuu," Kui Nong’s eyes flickered as he cupped his hands and smiled toward Zhuu Tong. "Taking Xirong County, Commander Zhuu will be the first to claim credit. I congratulate Commander Zhuu in advance."

"Haha... What is General Kui Nong saying? Without the strategy of the Blood Demon Sect Leader, tonight might not have gone so smoothly. It’s a shared effort, it’s a shared effort..."

Swish!

Caught off guard, the blood weapon pierced through Zhuu Tong’s body.

"You... cough cough..."

Swish!

Kui Nong withdrew the blood weapon and mocked softly, "Brother Zhuu Tong, farewell."

With a slap, the corpse of Commander Zhuu Tong of the North Snow Army rolled off the giant snow bear’s back.

Swish swish swish!

The Blood Demon Army turned traitor at the battlefront, and just as they were about to flatten the Tiger Armor Army, they suddenly attacked the North Snow Army.

Simultaneously.

Pingzhong County Mansion.

Two people sat in the mansion drinking wine, one shrouded in a blood veil, and the other dressed in ice-colored robes.

"Evil Moon sister, when we take Xirong County, I’ll tell King Shuo to appoint you as a general of our North Snow Army, much better than being a Blood Servant of that Blood Demon Sect."

"General Yien, the Blood Demon Army is the same as the North Snow Army, the same, the same."

"That’s different." Yien Yang drank a pot of wine. "The Blood Demon Sect Leader takes orders from King Shuo, while you take orders from the Blood Demon Sect Leader. Isn’t that degrading yourself with the power of your Evil Moon sister?"

"Why not be like me and follow King Shuo directly, with a position equal to the Blood Demon Sect Leader?"

"Is that so?" Evil Moon covered her face with a soft smile, a cold gleam flashed in her eyes, and a blood glow appeared under her blood veil.

Swish! Swish!

Two blood weapons shot out.

Clang!

One strike blocked.

Swish!

The second strike, the blood weapon pierced through Yien Yang’s chest.

"You..."

Bright red liquid gushed from the blood hole, Yien Yang instantly fell gravely injured.

The blood veil swept over Yien Yang’s face, Evil Moon’s smile was like a flower, she lifted the hem of her blood veil, the luster like snow, and kicked Yien Yang away.

With one kick, almost rendering Yien Yang unable to resist.

"Cough cough..."

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm warrior Yien Yang of the North Snow Army lay in a pool of blood, staring in shock and anger at Evil Moon.

Evil Moon gracefully stepped forward, squatting down in front of Yien Yang, her long fingers leisurely touched the blood hole on his chest.

Dipped in blood red, sent to her red lips.

She purses her lips, licks her tongue.

"I haven’t tasted the organs of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm..."

As she finished speaking, her fierce gaze was revealed, and Evil Moon’s finger stained with blood instantly moved to Yien Yang’s brow.

Bang!

A blood weapon shot out.

The spot her finger touched, a crimson dot appeared at the brow.

Yien Yang’s pupils scattered, unwilling to take his final breath.

Tear—

Her white fingers clenched into claws, pulling out the bright red heart.

Crunch... Crunch...

The mansion echoed with a spine-chilling sound of chewing.

"Tsk tsk..."

"..."

...

Xirong County, Commandery Mansion.

"Old Xiao, how are you feeling? Any better?"

Shen Yu stood by the bedside, seeing Xiao He awake, and hurriedly asked with concern.

"Water..."

"I’ll go get it."

"Cough cough..."

After drinking a few mouthfuls, Xiao He’s face looked much better.

"Held on?" His first words upon opening his mouth were whether Xirong County was held.

"Held on, held on." Shen Yu quickly said, "The North Snow Army has already retreated."

"Good... good..."

"Old Xiao, you should rest first."

"Mm."

"..."

Commandery Mansion’s main hall.

As Shen Yu had just entered, several figures rose swiftly.

"Chief Clerk Shen, how was County Magistrate Xiao?"

Xiang Yue, who rushed back from Yangjia City, urgently asked.

"For now, there’s no major issue. Long-term fatigue plus advanced age has severely depleted his Qi Blood. With proper rest and some supplements, he’ll slowly recover."

"That’s good, that’s good." Xiang Yue exhaled a deep breath.

"Since the matter is settled," at this moment, Guardian Yang Feng from the Astronomical Bureau sitting in the hall spoke in a deep voice, "Let’s discuss last night’s events."

"Yu Sheng, Wei Bang, Li Si, Qee Xing, you first discuss the losses."

The four, all from the Huang Forbidden Army, were arranged by Emperor Qin to replace Xiang Yue in commanding the Tiger Armor Army, four generals in the Meridian Unlocking Realm.

"Last night, the enemy army from Pingzhong County launched a sneak attack while we were unprepared. The fifty thousand Tiger Armor Army responsible for defense were caught off guard, suffering heavy casualties..."

The strongest, already in the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm Qee Xing hesitated to speak.

"Speak, what were the specific casualties?" Yang Feng said coldly.

"Over thirty-five thousand."

Bang!

Xiang Yue’s anger instantly flared, shattering the chair beneath him with a palm.

He had led the Tiger Armor Army for decades, never experiencing such a large casualty.

Over thirty thousand Tiger Armor Army soldiers, over thirty thousand brothers, died in battle, how could Xiang Yue not be enraged?

"Commander Xiang!" Yang Feng sternly rebuked, oppressing him with his presence, "Sit down!"

Xiang Yue was only in the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm and couldn’t resist the pressure of Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Yang Feng, and thus, was forced to sit.

"Has it been clarified why the enemy army from Pingzhong County suddenly retreated?" Yang Feng asked again.

Yu Sheng cupped his hands: "Reporting to Master Yang, it should be due to the Blood Demon Army’s betrayal."

"Oh?" Yang Feng’s eyes gathered, "Continue."

"Master Yang, presently, Pingzhong County has been occupied by the Blood Demon Army, the North Snow Army collapsed and retreated overnight."

"I speculate it was the Blood Demon Sect rebelling against the King of North Snow, intending to occupy Pingzhong County alone."

"Master Yang, the Blood Demon Army has only around thirty thousand, now that the North Snow Army has retreated, it is the best opportunity to reclaim Pingzhong County." Wei Bang hurriedly cupped his hands.

Li Si and Qee Xing also looked toward Yang Feng.

"Hmph!" Xiang Yue snorted coldly, "The enemy army originally had one hundred thousand in Pingzhong County, the Blood Demon Army thirty thousand, the North Snow Army seventy thousand."

"The gap is so large that even if the Blood Demon Army betrayed and launched a surprise attack, it shouldn’t have caused the seventy thousand North Snow Army to retreat. There must be something we don’t know."
