70: Immortals fight, army searches the mountains
Chen Chuanwu broke through several enemy lines on the battlefield, disrupting the Barbarian tribe's formation, and the Annan soldiers gradually gained the upper hand.
"What fine cavalry! Whose subordinate is that leading the charge?"
The General, standing on a dirt mound observing the situation, saw Chen Chuanwu charge through several lines as if entering no-man's-land. His eyes flashed with brilliance, and he asked happily.
"Reporting to my Lord, this man is Chen Chuanwu, a Captain under the command of Company Commander Du Bo of the cavalry battalion!"
The General laughed heartily. He was Du Bo's uncle, Du Xin. Seeing his nephew's subordinate achieve merit, and with his side gaining the upper hand, he could not help but be overjoyed.
"Record a merit for this Captain!"
In high spirits, Du Xin was not stingy with rewards. The Minor Clerk beside him hurriedly recorded Chen Chuanwu's merit.
While the Mortal soldiers were locked in fierce combat on the battlefield, the Cultivators in the sky also began to move!
"Does your Beast Taming Sect really intend to fight our Immortal Dynasty for this Spirit Stone mine? It is within our territory!"
The leading Cultivator from Annan Prefecture had a fan floating beside him. Within the fan, flames faintly soared to the sky, and with the killing intent in his words, they seemed ready to burst forth from the fan's surface.
"Heh, Lu Wujiang, you truly are twisting black and white. This mine is located right on the border, and it was my Beast Taming Sect that discovered it first. It is clearly you who are shameless, insisting on seizing it!"
The Cultivator on the Barbarian side did not show weakness. He stood atop a giant eagle that was fully five meters in size, exuding monstrous ferocity!
It turned out that a Spirit Stone mine had been discovered on the border between Annan Prefecture and the Barbarian grasslands, capable of producing thousands of Spirit Stones. Neither side's Cultivators were willing to give up this fat piece of meat, so they dispatched Foundation Establishment Cultivators and armies to fight for it!
"Since that is the case, Dustless Master, let us settle this with our skills!"
Lu Wujiang let out a low shout and prepared to cast a Spell. They had been fighting frequently over the past two years and had already built up a grudge, with each side having lost several Qi Refining Stage Disciples.
Now that the other side insisted on a fight, he naturally would not hold back!
Lu Wujiang, at the Foundation Establishment Stage, waved his feather fan, and immediately a fire dragon rushed out from it, dyeing half the clouds in the sky into crimson fire clouds!
Dustless Master, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Beast Taming Sect, gave a cold smile. He gently patted the giant eagle beside him, and the massive eagle spat out a sheet of cyan wind blades, rushing toward the fire dragon!
The battle between the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators reached a fever pitch. The Qi Refining Cultivators on both sides dared not remain on the Foundation Establishment battlefield, so they hurriedly sought out opponents and headed into the distance to fight in pairs!
Everyone on the battlefield knew that although the soldiers were fighting until rivers of blood flowed and the Cultivators were exchanging blows, only the battle between these two Foundation Establishment Cultivators was truly critical!
The outcome of their duel would directly determine the victory or defeat of all the battlefields.
Either of these Foundation Establishment Cultivators could, with their own power, drive the tens of thousands of people present to collapse. If the people on the battlefield fought to the death and did not retreat, they could slaughter them all to the last man!
The Spells of the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators changed the very color of the sky, shifting between cyan and blue, as their back-and-forth techniques dazzled the eyes.
"Xiao Qing, finish him off!"
Dustless Master's expression was somewhat ugly. His wind blade formation had just been broken by Lu Wujiang's Fire Dragon Spell; now, he had no choice but to order his tamed beast to fight!
But this was normal, after all, the Beast Taming Sect did not specialize in Spells!
"A mere beast dares to run wild?"
Lu Wujiang sneered and steered the fire dragon to charge at the cyan giant eagle.
Unexpectedly, a layer of cyan light shield suddenly appeared on the giant eagle's body. The fire dragon could not burn through it at all, while the giant eagle continuously tore at the fire dragon with its sharp claws.
Seeing the fire dragon gradually failing and about to disappear into the air, Dustless Master was in high spirits and could not help but let out a mocking laugh.
"Hahaha! Lu Wujiang, is that all the skill you have? You can't even beat my tamed beast!"
Lu Wujiang's expression was ugly as he thought to himself: It seems I will have to bleed heavily this time. My wind control talisman cost me fifty Spirit Stones; I didn't expect to have to throw it away today!
"Dustless Master, don't get cocky. Who will regret this is still uncertain!"
Lu Wujiang snorted coldly, then took out the wind control talisman and began to chant the incantation.
"wind control talisman, obey the mandate, go!"
Lu Wujiang pointed his finger, and the wind control talisman ignited without wind, transforming into a violent tornado that swept toward the cyan giant eagle.
"Oh no, a Level 2 Talisman! Xiao Qing, come back quickly!"
Dustless Master realized the power of the wind control talisman and hurriedly sent a voice transmission to the cyan giant eagle, but it was too late.
One must know that the wind control talisman was a Level 2 Talisman, possessing the power of a full-strength strike from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, not to mention that Lu Wujiang was using this move in conjunction with the Fire Dragon Spell!
The tornado combined with the fire dragon; the fire borrowed the wind's momentum, and its power immediately surged, almost reaching the power of the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage!
"Ying!"
The cyan giant eagle was swiped down by the fire dragon's claw. The giant eagle let out a mournful cry, its wing broken, its body burning with flames, as it fell from the sky, clearly not going to survive!
"Lu Wujiang, I want you dead!!!"
Dustless Master watched helplessly as his tamed beast died before him and was thoroughly enraged. At this moment, he could no longer care about hiding his trump cards, and a cyan longsword flew out from behind him!
"Qingfeng Sword, go!"
As Dustless Master performed the hand seals, the cyan longsword rushed toward Lu Wujiang at extreme speed.
"A mid-grade spirit tool?"
Lu Wujiang exclaimed, then turned and fled, hurriedly steering the fire dragon behind him to block Dustless Master.
"Swish!"
With a sharp whistle, the Qingfeng Sword instantly pierced through the fire dragon. The fire dragon, which had once taken down a Foundation Establishment Yao Beast in one go, was simply unable to withstand a single blow before the Qingfeng Sword, turning into specks of fire and vanishing completely!
However, this did buy Lu Wujiang time to block the sword, allowing him to escape!
"Lu Wujiang, don't run, I want you to pay with your life!"
Dustless Master was furious, steering the Qingfeng Sword to charge straight at the fleeing Lu Wujiang, but he did not notice that Lu Wujiang had quietly thrown a Hidden Lightning Bead behind him!
"Explode!"
Just as Dustless Master was about to catch up to Lu Wujiang, Lu Wujiang suddenly turned around and formed a Spell seal aimed at Dustless Master.
"Boom!"
The transparent Hidden Lightning Bead beside Dustless Master exploded instantly, directly slamming Dustless Master hard onto the ground.
"Fool, you dare to let anger cloud your head during battle, and you actually couldn't see the Hidden Lightning Bead I laid in ambush!"
Lu Wujiang cursed under his breath, then let out a long sigh of relief. Dustless Master only had the cultivation of the Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage; with the Hidden Lightning Bead exploding right beside him, he definitely couldn't withstand it!
"A mid-grade spirit tool Flying Sword, you couldn't even buy one for five hundred Spirit Stones; I've made a huge profit this time!"
A look of greed flashed in Lu Wujiang's eyes as he flew rapidly toward the place where Dustless Master had fallen.
Just as Lu Wujiang was preparing to collect his spoils, Dustless Master, who should have been blown to death, suddenly turned into a streak of cyan light, and riding his Flying Sword, flew off into the mountains!
This time, Dustless Master's speed was extremely fast, and Lu Wujiang could not catch up at all!
"To be able to release a flight escape technique even while heavily injured; however, you have already taken a hit from a Hidden Lightning Bead, so your injuries must be compounded. I don't believe you can escape this great mountain!"
Lu Wujiang said hatefully. Now that he had lost the trail, he certainly couldn't find the hidden Dustless Master in the mountains by himself.
It just so happened that there were still tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield outside, and Lu Wujiang decided to have all these soldiers go in and search the mountains. He didn't believe he wouldn't be able to find the heavily injured Dustless Master!
