Chapter 151: Strategic Knockout
Thousands of enormous fierce beasts marched through the forest.
They needed to widen the distance and guard against falling into traps, so the scouts went ahead to investigate.
The speed was clearly not very fast.
Even without heavy supplies slowing them down, their marching speed was only twice that of an ordinary person walking.
After more than ten hours, they finally reached a position less than ten kilometers from the main force of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
"That’s enough!"
After receiving the message, Yi Chen immediately ended his training.
"Notify Guli to leave a team behind to disturb the sight of the Sacred Water Tribe’s main forces."
He looked at Bai Ruo Xin: "When the Sacred Water Tribe realizes they are not the main force, switch to harassing and tying them down. While guarding against powerful fierce beasts sent by the Sacred Water Tribe attacking, use water attacks, fire attacks—any methods possible—to make it hard for the Sacred Water Tribe’s main forces to respond at full speed."
"The main and support teams will then rush through the air to the Sacred Water Tribe’s base."
"You can suggest to Guli that once they reach the Sacred Water Tribe, they should knock out all the tribe members and transport them out in batches."
"Ensure that even if the main force of the Sacred Water Tribe arrives, they won’t find any clues for a while, and then gradually transport them outside the Misty Forest to hand over to logistics."
"Understood!"
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Bai Ruo Xin’s beautiful eyes.
The chief was incredibly impressive.
…
"My goodness, Yi Chen’s move is simply brilliant!"
"Turns out he has been targeting the thirty thousand people of the Sacred Water Tribe all along?"
"Wow, I’m amazed—he’s directly robbing their home!"
"I’m in awe, Yi Chen… the god in my heart!"
The entire live room erupted in excitement.
No one expected that Yi Chen’s strategies of drawing the tiger away from the mountain and conducting a surprise attack were not aimed at forcing the Sacred Water Tribe to disperse their forces for individual takedown.
Instead, it was a direct strike at the roots.
By leveraging air transport capabilities and mobility, he planned to uproot the Sacred Water Tribe’s stronghold.
"Yi Chen’s idea is simply extravagant and elusive."
"It’s not elusive; it’s just that from start to finish, Yi Chen has always considered the plan from a strategic perspective. Meanwhile, we’ve been thinking and analyzing his plans from a tactical angle."
"Looking back now, it feels completely natural."
"Yeah! Yi Chen’s core interest in advancing into the Misty Forest is the population."
"While conquering those scattered tribes, he simultaneously enhances his own strength and lures the Sacred Water Tribe to engage, accomplishing three objectives with one action."
"The most masterful part isn’t just the surprise attack on the Sacred Water Tribe’s stronghold to lure them into dispersing their forces for individual takedowns. Instead, it’s directly using mobility and air transport capabilities to take all the tribe members away."
"This directly achieves Yi Chen’s ultimate interest in one fell swoop."
"Thus, regardless of whether we can defeat the Sacred Water Tribe, the greatest benefits have already been secured."
"A solid tribe but a changing chief. Although War City has a good reputation, he has only been the chief for just over a year."
"The members of the Sacred Water Tribe were sent to the valley with the benefits of the Flame Mountain Tribe and the temptation to enhance their personal strength."
"On the side of the Political Council, a whole bunch of fake heavy criminals were eagerly waiting to attract Yi Chen’s attention, easily capable of integrating them."
"That’s it; if not for War City’s excellent mental resilience, he would have been driven crazy."
"Directly stripped down to a lone commander, with hundreds of tribe members plus over four thousand fierce beasts. Although their strength is still greater than that of the Flame Mountain Tribe."
"When he reaches the Flame Mountain Tribe, Yi Chen will certainly have advanced to a higher major realm."
"Not to say victory is guaranteed, but at least he can use the valley as a Defense Line to block War City’s attacks. Give it a few more months, and he should be able to resolve War City and his fierce beast army."
"With just a few hundred tribe members, even if War City chooses to surrender, he won’t have much leverage for advancement."
Everyone was completely convinced.
Yi Chen’s unexpected strategy was truly remarkable.
In a situation where the strength of the Sacred Water Tribe was unclear, and there was no absolute certainty of defeating them, he completed a strategic knockout.
…
Soon, Guli began issuing commands.
Rog led the Southern Army’s Spirit Consciousness stage geniuses along with a small support team as communication officers to confuse and disrupt the scouts of the Sacred Water Tribe.
The remaining Spirit Consciousness stage geniuses crossed the forest together to gather in the sky with the support team and flying fierce beasts.
They circled at full speed toward the base of the Sacred Water Tribe.
In less than half an hour, they successfully arrived at their destination.
Guli had clearly accepted Bai Ruo Xin’s suggestion and struck like lightning.
Along the way, they had already established a plan.
Upon arriving at their base, over one hundred fifty Spirit Consciousness stage geniuses split into three groups.
One group stayed to guard the base, responsible for knocking out and intercepting any Sacred Water Tribe members trying to escape.
Another group dealt with the fierce beasts left behind at the Sacred Water Tribe and charged toward the holy spring.
The last group, without hesitation, approached any people they saw using the Cloud Treading Technique and struck directly at the arteries of the neck to knock them out.
Bai Ruo Xin controlled the stone house, following the team closely.
However, Yi Chen was not in the flying treasure.
He held a spiritual sword and flew around, searching for powerful fierce beasts left in the tribe.
Roar!
Soon, a giant wolf over fourteen or fifteen meters tall, covered in blue fur, came into view.
When the giant wolf heard the whistle and dashed out of the tribe, it still held the upper hand even against the three Spirit Consciousness stage geniuses attempting to intercept it.
Even with Zong Shan joining several Spirit Consciousness stage geniuses in the battle, they managed with ease.
The toxic mist it sprayed from its mouth caused danger for the Spirit Consciousness stage geniuses, who barely managed to protect themselves thanks to the speed advantage of the Cloud Treading Technique.
Swish!
From over two hundred meters away, Yi Chen swung his sword.
A wave of Sword Energy rushed towards the giant wolf with thunderous speed.
The giant wolf sensed the danger and turned to see the incoming Sword Energy.
But it was already too late to evade.
Szzzzz…
The Sword Energy instantly tore through its fur, piercing through to exit on the other side.
Before any blood could spill out, the wound was completely frozen, covered by a thick layer of heavy ice.
The giant wolf teetered, and within a few seconds, it crashed to the ground.
Zong Shan and the Spirit Consciousness stage geniuses attacking the giant wolf were left in shock.
The audience in the live room was equally stunned.
Sword Energy travel of two hundred meters was not unusual.
Those top geniuses who had broken into the third level of Spirit Consciousness could barely reach that distance with Sword Energy.
But what left everyone in disbelief was Yi Chen’s casually delivered strike.
He actually killed the giant wolf in an instant.
This giant wolf was a Toxic Mist Blue Wolf, rated 41st by the Military.
In other words, Yi Chen easily killed a 41st-level Toxic Mist Blue Wolf from over two hundred meters away with just one sword stroke.
Though there were suspicions of a sneak attack, the data scanned showed that
with Yi Chen’s Sword Energy speed, anyone within a hundred meters, even if the Toxic Mist Blue Wolf had been prepared, could not evade the strike.
