Chapter 279 The Day of the Decisive Battle



The following morning dawned.

Ye Ling and the others had stayed awake all night, all gathered within Ye Ling's tent.

"My lord, today is the day of your decisive battle with that waste Xiao Yun."

"Why don't I lead the men to Sky Desert River and hold Xiao Yun's forces at bay while you return to the Northern Liao court, seizing the chance to retake command of the Northern Liao army in one fell swoop?"

Agudza's throaty voice boomed across the tent.

Ye Ling glanced at him and said with a light chuckle, "As the Northern Liao King, why would I engage in such tactics?"

"What is mine, no one can take away…"

Hearing this, Agudza fell silent, understanding Ye Ling's intent.

As the Northern Liao King, Ye Ling naturally intended to reclaim what was his in an upfront and honorable manner, not by seizing an opportunity for a stealthy theft.

Unbeknownst when, a streak of dawn's early light appeared in the eastern sky.

Ye Ling slowly rose to his feet, "The time is about right, we should set off."

The others seated in the tent stood up one after another, following Ye Ling out of the tent.

However, Tian Ye was conspicuously absent from the crowd.

After arriving yesterday, Tian Ye had spent two hours alone with Ye Ling and then hurriedly departed.

No one knew where he had gone, nor what he had discussed with Ye Ling.

"Today the battle will shake Northern Liao!"

"We shall clear all enemies for our lord!"

Agudza's presence surged as he bellowed loudly.

As his voice faded, one figure after another emerged from the tents, swiftly assembling before Ye Ling.

Over a hundred robust men knelt on one knee and declared in unison, "We are willing to fight to the death for the Northern Liao King!"

"Rise, all of you. By joining the Northern Liao army, you are my brothers, and how could I stand by and watch you march to your deaths?"

Ye Ling's gaze swept over the hundred men in front of him before he spoke solemnly.

The men got to their feet and followed Ye Ling towards Sky Desert River.

"Big brother, do you want Qimeng to help kill that guy Xiao Yun for you later?"

Zhan Qimeng leaned on Ye Ling's back, asking with a grin.

If outsiders heard such words from a girl barely fourteen or fifteen years old, many would be shocked to the core.

Yet, no one present uttered a word of objection, for they had all come to know Zhan Qimeng's strength during this time!

Despite being just a teenage girl, she was more than a match for Agudza, the commander of the Bear Corps and a half-step Imperial Path powerhouse!

Not only Zhan Qimeng, but Zhang Xiulan had also left a deep impression on the Bear Corps' soldiers.

This seemingly demure woman was even more formidable than Zhan Qimeng!

Among the three women Ye Ling brought to Northern Liao, only Wang Ziyu appeared to be normal, possessing a Grandmaster realm strength, close to that of many members of the Bear Corps.

But Wang Ziyu, as a disciple of the Medicine God sect, had peerless medical expertise.

It is often said that good medicine can heal people but also kill them.

Wang Ziyu, proficient in medical arts, naturally also mastered the use of various poisons, capable of killing someone silently.

After witnessing Wang Ziyu incapacitating Agudza with just a pinch of white powder, no one dared to underestimate this Grandmaster realm woman again.

Ye Ling glanced sideways at Zhan Qimeng, who was leaning on his back, and chuckled, "This is an adult's business, and it's not your place as a child to get involved."

"If your granddad knew that I needed a little girl's help to take back what's mine, I'm afraid he'd be so furious he'd rise from his grave just to give me a thrashing."

As he spoke, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Ye Ling's eyes, as if he was reminded of the stern visage of the old Northern Liao King teaching him in bygone days.

Zhan Qimeng pouted and retorted indignantly, "Who's calling me a child?"

"Although I, Zhan Qimeng, may be young, my strength is certainly no joke!"

"That Xiao Yun dares to take away what Grandfather left for you, brother, he is asking for death!"

Afterwards, Zhan Qimeng looked towards Zhang Xiulan and said, "Sister Xiulan, when we see that damned Xiao Yun, you and I will attack together; we'll kill him!"

"Okay!"

Zhang Xiulan nodded and uttered just one word.

Seeing the two of them like this, Ye Ling could only give a bitter smile of helplessness.

Who knows what Xiao Yun would feel if he knew that two mighty warriors at the level of the Imperial Path had already set their sights on him?

Would he still have the courage to come to Sky Desert River and engage in this decisive battle with Ye Ling?

By the side of Sky Desert River, Xiao Yun was already standing by the Sky Moat Bridge with his subordinates.

Among the dozen or so people beside him, the commanders of the seventh and eighth corps of the Northern Liao army were also conspicuously present.

Both of them hung their heads low, their faces unclear, leaving one to wonder what thoughts were passing through their minds. Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire

"Young Master, there is a strong warrior at the Imperial Path level from Thousand Blade Peak!"

An old man whispered next to Xiao Yun.

This was another Imperial Path-level powerhouse sent by the Xiao family to support Xiao Yun, also one of the two revered retainers of the Xiao family, Tie Quan!

"Retainer Tie, if you were to face that person, what are your chances of victory?"

"Yesterday, Retainer Wang was gravely injured by this very person."

Xiao Yun turned to look at Tie Quan and asked.

Tie Quan fell silent for a moment, then solemnly said, "The opponent's aura seems somewhat unstable; he must have sustained not insignificant injuries from yesterday's battle with Wang Mingli."

"If he is in such a state, I am certain to win!"

With these words, how could Xiao Yun not understand?

Didn't that mean, "If the opponent is injured, I can defeat him, but what if the opponent was not injured?"

From the moment Xiao Yun stepped into the world of martial arts, he had understood the power and supremacy of those at the Imperial Path level.

Yet, in this battle with Ye Ling, the longstanding notion in his heart had started to shift...

Turns out, the once untouchable warriors of the Imperial Path could also be gravely wounded and even die!

"Who knows how many more powerful fighters are beside Ye Ling..."

Xiao Yun gave a light sigh, his mood somewhat downcast.

The sudden emergence of Gao Quan had genuinely shaken Xiao Yun's confidence in defeating Ye Ling.

Seeing him like this, Tie Quan internally sighed.

Having already shown such a demeanor before the battle even started meant that he had already lost part of the momentum; the heir of the Xiao family wasn't someone they could rely on for great matters!

However, as a retainer of the Xiao family, Tie Quan didn't voice his thoughts.

Tie Quan glanced at another peak not far away, his gaze slightly fluctuated.

The people who had arrived at the Northern Liao King's Court last night were now all gathered on that mountain.

The four great mountains by the side of Sky Desert River are Thousand Blade Peak, Thousand Autumns Peak, Thousand Mile Peak, and Qianqi Peak!@@novelbin@@

The four mountains surround the Sky Moat Bridge on the Sky Desert River, and together with the bridge, they form a natural barrier between Luo Sha Kingdom and Northern Liao.

"They're here!"

Tie Quan's gaze shifted towards the distance as he said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Xiao Yun's expression shook, and he quickly looked towards the distance...

In his line of sight, Ye Ling, leading a group of over a hundred people, was grandly approaching the Sky Moat Bridge.

Even from afar, the soaring fighting spirit was enough to unsettle Xiao Yun.
