Chapter 29: Blood Stained Three Passes (Part 1)
Until you truly battle Yun Yi, you will never know how terrifying he is.
Just like at this moment, Chen Wangye was forced by Yun Yi’s sword energy, lacking even the desire to fight back, and instinctively retreated.
His intuition told him that this sword strike was not something he could withstand, even if he gave it his all.
As a master of the innate realm and the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, one of the top figures in the Chu Kingdom, he felt powerlessness and fear for the first time.
Hmph!
Yun Yi snorted coldly, and the wind surged beneath his feet, doubling his speed. In the blink of an eye, he stood right in front of Chen Wangye, leaving him no way to dodge or retreat.
"I’ll give it my all! I don’t believe a kid from the Open Spirit Realm can be that powerful. The sword is heavy as a mountain."
Chen Wangye gritted his teeth, realizing he could no longer escape, and could only resist with all his might. He unleashed his proud Battle Technique, and the terrifying sword energy charged toward Yun Yi with the force of a mountain.
Boom…
The two battle swords clashed together; one unleashed a powerful Battle Technique, while the other was just a plain sword strike, yet the outcome was still shocking.
Ah…
With a terrible scream, Chen Wangye was struck and sent flying by Yun Yi’s sword. The battle sword flew out of his hand, and his palm was bleeding, torn open from the impact.
Wow!
After retreating two or three steps, Chen Wangye stumbled back to the wall of people behind him. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale to the extreme. He raised his head and looked at Yun Yi, and besides fear, there was a sense of disbelief in his eyes.
A boy in the ninth grade of the Open Spirit Realm had such terrifying power. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it, even if someone told him so.
Chen Wangye was very aware of his own strength; even a master in the second grade of the Innate Realm could not have forced him like this in one move.
The crowd gasped again, and the Yun Family Army was filled with excitement, feeling more thrilled than ever before.
In contrast, the soldiers of Mysterious Dragon Pass looked defeated and dirty, unable to hide their despair. Huang Liang was dead, and it seemed Chen Wangye would not survive either. With so many of them left, how could they possibly fight?
Without a leader, their army was completely scattered.
With just one sword, with all of Chen Wangye’s strength, he could not stop Yun Yi’s sword.
This battle cannot continue.
Whoosh!
Yun Yi didn’t give Chen Wangye any chance to react. The quick sword in his hand flew forward and, in the blink of an eye, reached close to Chen Wangye. The terrifying black sword energy formed a net that tightly trapped Chen Wangye, leaving him unable to move.
"No…"
The threat of death surrounded him. Yun Yi moved too quickly, giving Chen Wangye no chance at all. Given Chen Wangye’s current state, he had no hope of stopping Yun Yi’s sword.
Chen Wangye let out a desperate roar of despair.
However, all of this was useless. Yun Yi struck mercilessly, his sword not hesitating for a moment because of Chen Wangye’s cries.
Thud!
The shout suddenly stopped. Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Yun Yi’s sword pierced through Chen Wangye’s head, killing him instantly.
Yun Yi withdrew his sword, and Chen Wangye’s body fell to the ground.
Yun Yi held the sword in one hand and waved the other hand behind him. Yuan Kui understood and quickly stepped forward to hand the Yun Family Army flag to Yun Yi.
Then, the Black Flame Lion galloped over and came to Yun Yi’s side.
Yun Yi jumped up and stood on the back of the Black Flame Lion, holding the flag high. The bright red character "Cloud (Yun)" swayed in the wind, strong and proud.
Countless soldiers of the Yun Family Army focused their eyes on the flag fluttering in the air. It seemed to represent the unyielding spirit of the Yun Family Army and their enduring morale.
At this moment, the figure of the young man in white grew larger in the hearts of every soldier in the Yun Family Army, forming a towering mountain.
"All Yun Family Army, listen! Cross the Mysterious Dragon Pass, and those who stand in our way will be killed without mercy."
Yun Yi shouted loudly, his voice booming like thunder, and the sound waves spread far away, echoing in the air above the Mysterious Dragon Pass.
"No mercy in killing!"
The Yun family’s Iron Army shook the sky, their power unmatched, making the soldiers at Mysterious Dragon Pass shiver in fear, unable to stop themselves from retreating.
Roar…
The Black Flame Lion let out a loud roar, shaking its fierce head as it stepped forward. Wherever it walked, the enemy troops automatically parted to create a path, their faces filled with fear, and no one dared to move.
Swish, swish, swish…
The Yun Family Army marched through the Mysterious Dragon Pass step by step under Yun Yi’s leadership, while the countless soldiers could only watch. What a majestic sight it was!
One brave warrior can hold back a thousand enemies, just as one daring warrior can break through the defenses of a thousand foes.
Banners fluttered, the young heroes full of ambition and dreams.
The battle at Mysterious Dragon Pass was destined to be recorded in history; the young man who rode in on the lion would surely become the brightest star of Qizhou State.
Under Yun Yi’s leadership, the Yun Family Army, after crossing the Mysterious Dragon Pass, increased their marching speed by more than double. At this moment, the morale of the Yun Family Army was completely different from before.
With amazing morale and great confidence, even though there were thousands of soldiers ahead, even if there were mountains of knives and seas of fire, and even with countless obstacles, as long as Yun Yi was there, the Yun Family Army could never be defeated.
The feeling of despair vanished, and Qian Luofeng had a smile on his face. As a master of the innate realm, he could see Yun Yi’s strength more clearly than others.
If he could easily defeat a first-grade master of the Innate Realm, then he could probably also defeat a second-grade master without hesitation if he used his Battle Technique.
In other words, at this moment, Yun Yi was truly invincible in Qizhou State. Although there were many masters of the innate realm in the Chu Kingdom, none could match Yun Yi.
With this, the Yun family finally saw real hope, and Qian Luofeng had no reason to be unhappy.
Following closely behind Yun Yi, Qian Luofeng suddenly felt as if he were once again fighting alongside Yun Feilong on the battlefield. It was a feeling of great passion and unbeatable spirit.
The heavy burden on Qian Luofeng’s shoulders was finally lifted. This was a weight he couldn’t bear, but Yun Yi could.
To enter the Imperial Capital, one must pass through three checkpoints, and the Mysterious Dragon Pass was just the first one.
With the marching speed of the Yun Family Army, it would take about one day to travel from Mysterious Dragon Pass to Jade Dragon Pass.
Outside Jade Dragon Pass, twenty thousand elite soldiers and two powerful masters of the innate realm were waiting.
"Your Highness, the Emperor sent us to guard Jade Dragon Pass. Isn’t that making a big fuss? A small thing like Qian Luofeng probably can’t even pass Mysterious Dragon Pass."
A middle-aged man said to another middle-aged man dressed in fine silk.
The man in silk was none other than the current Ninth Prince, the brother of Emperor Chu, a powerful master at the peak of the first grade of the Innate Realm. The other was a trusted aide of the Ninth Prince, a master from the prince’s estate.
Both of them looked very relaxed; to them, waiting for the Yun Family Army at Jade Dragon Pass was actually a very easy task.
