To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 842: Chapter 360 The Fall of Su Country_2

Li River truly lived up to his reputation as a veteran of the army. Far from resenting Lan Cai’er’s military orders, he casually added a few more points to it.

As for his ruthless methods against the enemy, like the annihilation of states and clans, it was all discussed with a smile.

This caused Han Hu and Han Liang, who considered themselves cultivators, to feel a great aversion upon seeing this, and also deepened their understanding of the difference between these worldly soldiers and themselves.

Not to mention anything else.

The sheer indifference to the lives of tens of thousands of people was something the two of them couldn’t bring themselves to do.

A dispute among cultivators at most would lead to the elimination of one or two strong foes to seize their opportunities. That would be the end of it.

But the conflicts for supremacy in the world involved the killing of millions, the conquest of extensive mountains and rivers. As long as the Nine Provinces are in turmoil, there will never be an end to it.

‘We have so much to learn, to endure, to change!’ they thought.

‘If we want to protect our sect for generations to come, our mentality must undergo many changes.’

With such thoughts in their hearts, Han Liang and Han Hu voiced, “I will carefully follow the Queen’s command.”

“Good.”

Upon seeing everyone’s submissive demeanor, a smile reappeared on Lan Cai’er’s face. Then she waved her hand and said, “This battle will be personally led by this palace. I will attack North City; Han Liang will lead the right flank to attack West City, Han Hu will lead the left flank to attack East City, and Li River will lead the rear to attack South City.

Since none of you object, then carry out this order.”

“Yes.”

Li River and the others saluted, took their tiger tally tokens, and went down to mobilize their troops.

…

A moment later.

Above the South City battlefield, Li River stood astride his horse with his sword, charging directly to within a hundred steps from the city gate.

In front of him, tens of thousands of brave men from Chilih charged towards the top and gates of the city walls, pushing various siege weapons like ants.

Above the city wall, Su People Soldiers picked up boulders and slopped filth, pouring it down over the edges. Arrows rained down in chaos, felling brave men in their charge and turning them into lifeless porcupines.

Witnessing this scene, a fierce light flashed in Li River’s eyes. He slapped his horse’s back, leapt towards the city wall, and a six-legged flying insect external body over thirty feet long materialized. He shouted, “Chilih Grand General Li River is here, Su thieves meet your death.”

As the words fell, Li River landed atop the city rampart. The ferocious insect swung about, and in an instant, more than a dozen Su People Soldiers were reduced to severed limbs and flesh as a rain of blood exploded in the air.

Reveling in the pleasure of tearing flesh, Li River let out a big laugh and then, controlling the insect’s external body, he leapt into a nearby group of Su Army soldiers. Instantly, he caused a bloody storm, snatching countless lives.

“Ah—”

“It’s an Inborn Grandmaster!”

“The enemy’s Inborn is here, retreat quickly!”

The nearby Su Army, witnessing Li River’s astounding might and his taking of over a hundred lives in an instant, were utterly terrified, screaming and fleeing to the side.

Some valiant Su soldiers refused to retreat. Clutching their weapons, they gritted their teeth and charged towards the ferocious insect.

But the mundane iron they wielded couldn’t even scratch the insect’s exoskeleton. Arrows shot from the side dinged harmlessly off its shell and fell to the ground.

In contrast, a slight flutter of the insect’s wings sent gusts of wind that severed the approaching soldiers into pieces.

With a slight tear of its claws, several soldiers were sprayed with blood on the spot.@@novelbin@@

Facing the full force of an Inborn Grandmaster, these soldiers couldn’t even breach the insect’s martial arts external body. Their only struggle resulted in merciless carnage that excited the enemy even more.

This terrifying and powerless sight further shattered the will of nearby Su soldiers wanting to resist, demoralizing them completely, erasing any thought of counterattacking.

In just an instant, a hundred-meter stretch of the city rampart was swept clean by Li River by himself, leaving more than a hundred Su soldiers in his wake.

Seeing this, the troops of Chilih below were immensely encouraged.

Many quickly climbed up the cloud ladders and surged over the top, occupying the region secured by their Grand General.

Li River pressed further forward without pausing to wait. He continued toward the scattering Su soldiers, hell-bent on not stopping until none were left alive.

With the strength of an Inborn Grandmaster, his efficiency in killing was unimaginably high.

In just this brief time, two to three hundred Su people had died by his hand.

“Chu invaders, cease your arrogance! Killing ordinary soldiers is no skill at all. I will meet you in combat!”

Just as Li River was slaughtering in high spirits, a roar came from the South City tower.

Su Xuange, clad in white, holding his sword, floated onto the city rampart, his eyes bloodshot at the sight of Li River wantonly killing his soldiers.

With an angry shout, the white sword in his hand turned into a winding Milky Way, sweeping over towards the insect.

“Haha, perfect timing, take my claw!”

Li River, not the least bit afraid of the sword energy turning into the Milky Way, laughed aloud. The insect’s external body took flight, biting down in direct confrontation.

A loud boom resounded, stars scattered, the vicious insect howled, and stones flew. Under the force of the Inborn, even the city walls trembled.

This stretch of rampart had become a no-man’s land, with not a single soul daring to approach.

But a little further away, the bitter struggle between the soldiers of Su and Chilih continued unabated.

After their ruler blocked Li River, an Inborn, the Chilih troops that had scaled the walls lost their advantage. They were soon contained by the relentless reinforcements of Su soldiers coming from within the city.
