230: The Way of Command

“Who says we have no clothes? We share the same robe!”

“Who says we have no clothes? We share the same undergarment!”

“Who says we have no clothes? We share the same skirt!”

Powerful voices rang out, one after another.

Jiang Ning and the other three saw the soldiers who had fallen in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood come back to life.

These “soldiers,” tempered by the fires of war, exuded a murderous Aura, making the entire area feel incredibly solemn.

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu held the marshal’s banner.

With a gentle wave,

A roar immediately erupted from the army.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Their Aura was overwhelming; this was not merely an Aura, but had already condensed into a “Fortune.” This Fortune was linked to Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu’s Dao of commanding troops.

And this “Fortune” was feedback to Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu in a mysterious way.

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu’s strength surged!

He cleaved open Daoist Ember Dust’s death-defying attack with a single sword strike, then began to deal with the sudden attacks from the others.

With the surge in strength, Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu’s speed also increased.

Spiritual Qi condensed in a small area, then exploded with a roar.

Flowing Water, Silver Moon, and Linghuang Pavilion Master Zhao Tinghuang were forced to withdraw from the battlefield.

The three and a half Space Green Lotuses Jiang Ning had condensed trembled slightly.

He quickly retreated, pulling out of the trap they had meticulously prepared for Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu.

The grand formation tore apart.

The Realm sandbox world instantly collapsed.

The small sandbox flew into Jiang Ning’s Storage Ring.

The “smoke of war” dissipated.

Jiang Ning and the other four stood in the air, facing Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu.

Marshal Xuan Hu looked at the five people opposite him.

He smiled and said, “So that’s how it is.

The leader of the Silver Moon Snow Fox has also advanced to Golden Core.

And you, you bear the shadow of the Yaoguang Immortal Palace, but I have never seen you before. Are you a hidden trump card of the Yaoguang Immortal Palace?

Zhao Tinghuang, your Linghuang Pavilion has always remained neutral, not involving itself in the power struggles of the Xuanhuang Domain, and the Tiance Military Prefecture has never besieged the Linghuang Pavilion. Are you sure you want to drag the Linghuang Pavilion into this muddy water?

Ember Dust, so many years have passed, you’ve aged a lot. Indeed, if my Sect were destroyed, and I thought of my Disciples day and night, I would certainly not be able to sleep.”

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu was still trying to use words to either dismantle or provoke them.

But they were all in the Nascent Soul Realm, with firm Dao Hearts, so how could they be persuaded by a few words?

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu looked at Jiang Ning.

He stared at the three and a half Space Lotuses in front of Jiang Ning’s Dharma Idol.

“Jiang Ning, you want to kill me with these three and a half lotuses? I’m afraid it’s not enough! I’ll give you a chance: come to the Tiance Military Prefecture and serve as a slave for a hundred years. After a hundred years, I will forgive you for offending the Tiance Military Prefecture.”

Jiang Ning said nothing, merely solidifying the Green Lotuses a little more.

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu sighed.

“I really don’t want to unleash a massacre...”

Saying that, he took a step forward!

Beneath the colossal Nascent Soul Dharma Idol, there was no longer a broken war chariot, but a high platform.

Three words were written on it.

“Troop Review Platform.”

Reviewing troops amidst the flames of war, every single one reviewed was a seasoned veteran!

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu’s expression was stern as he looked at the “smoke-filled” battlefield, and he loudly declared:

“Where is Yan Qingfei, the first Commander of the Xuan Hu Battalion?!”

“This subordinate is here!”

As soon as his voice fell, a man whose black armor was shattered stepped out from the ranks.

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu hummed.

“Where is Sun Qianren, the first Commander of the Xuan Hu Battalion?”

“This subordinate is here!”

“The first Commander of the Xuan Hu Battalion...”

One name after another was called out.

Jiang Ning even heard the names of Zhao Ting and Xing Zhan, whom he had killed earlier... Soon, a group of Commanders appeared.

Jiang Ning’s scalp tingled.

These people, in life, were at Golden Core Perfection, but now, summoned by Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu, they actually possessed the strength of a half-step Nascent Soul!

“We can’t wait any longer!”

Daoist Ember Dust directly charged towards the Troop Review Platform.

As he flew, his colossal Dharma Idol followed.

The sea of blood and the battlefield merged into one.

Like water in a river, they began to converge.

“Jiang Ning! Hurry!”

Flowing Water let out a soft snort.

Her Dharma Idol opened directly.

A long river was pulled from the Void Realm, flowing around the Luoshen Dharma Idol.

Zhao Tinghuang also started to panic a little.

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu was too troublesome!

His Dharma Idol was a giant version of his human form, only it had three heads and six arms, and behind those three heads, there was a huge round sun!

Great Linghuang Scripture!

Silver Moon was a Spirit Beast, and a huge full moon hung high.

They were all doing everything they could to buy Jiang Ning time.

Jiang Ning gritted his teeth.

He knew that if this didn’t work, they would only be able to flee individually.

Others could escape, but he could not.

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu would not let him go.

“Condense for me!”

The three and a half lotuses became lifelike.

The power of Space Law surged, emitting a terrifying pressure.

Marshal Xuan Hu, who was directing the Commanders in battle, held a long sword and personally came to engage Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s done.”

The colossal Dharma Idol raised a hand and gently pushed forward.

The three and a half lotuses moved “slowly” forward.

But it only looked slow.

Space Law was mobilized; each time the lotuses disappeared, they would move further forward, and even Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu could not track their movement.

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu felt a huge crisis from this.

Retreat!

Retreat first; after these Space Lotuses, Jiang Ning would have no other means to kill him.

But just as he was about to move, Marshal Xuan Hu was covered by a shadow.

He looked up.

It turned out that Jiang Ning had used “Bixiao” at the same time.

Golden chains descended from the Law Enforcement Peak, attempting to firmly bind Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu.

Furthermore, the “Trap” command token from the Main Peak made Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu’s movements difficult.

Jiang Ning glanced at Chen Hai of the Sixth Peak.

He narrowed his eyes.

Chen Hai, who had originally been somewhat hesitant, directly charged towards Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu.

“Everyone, now is the time! Help me trap him!”

Zhao Tinghuang’s Dharma Idol suddenly opened its eyes, its six arms holding various weapons, which it hurled at Marshal Xuan Hu.

Flowing Water controlled the long river to flow above Marshal Xuan Hu’s head, and the water plunged directly downwards! Forming a great waterfall!

Silver Moon let out a delicate cry.

The giant moon shrank, actually fitting into her palm. With a glance from her fox eyes, Marshal Xuan Hu’s figure appeared within the miniature moon.

That was Marshal Xuan Hu’s shadow!

Daoist Ember Dust’s Dharma Idol unveiled the Prajna mask, and his blood-red eyes made him appear enchanting and full of malevolence.

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu felt that every step he took was incredibly difficult.

If these people didn’t kill him, but merely exerted their full strength to trap him for a moment, it would be enough.

He gritted his teeth.

He looked at the Space Lotuses, which were coming towards him and were about to explode on his body.

He waved the marshal’s banner, mobilizing all the soldiers’ “Fortune” in front of him, forming a golden armor.

In the cultivation world, being a marshal of an army inherently implied formidable strength.

At this point, Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu could only endure it!

Boom... The entire desert area was blasted with pits, which were quickly filled by quicksand.

Hard Gobi stones were pulverized, adding a touch of color to the desert.

“It worked!”

Jiang Ning could feel that the three and a half lotuses had exploded on Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu’s body; they had succeeded!

The next second.

Jiang Ning froze.

On the other side of the battlefield, Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu, in white robes and without his Dharma Idol, stood in the air.

His figure was hunched, his Aura weak, and his face pale.

He’s not dead?!!!

Jiang Ning realized something was wrong.

Zhao Tinghuang, now weakened, transmitted a message to everyone:

“Marshal Xuan Hu used a trick similar to the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell. Everyone, our strength is now insufficient to contend with Marshal Xuan Hu. I shall take my leave first!”

Flowing Water also transmitted: “Jiang Ning, let’s make a plan another day. This time, we have indeed failed completely.”

Silver Moon’s words were even more direct, “We can’t beat him, let’s run!”

Jiang Ning was unwilling.

Even more unwilling was Daoist Ember Dust.

“You all retreat! Even if I die, I will drag Marshal Xuan Hu down with me!”

Daoist Ember Dust began to burn his essence blood, and his recently collapsed Dharma Idol came back to life. He charged directly at Marshal Xuan Hu, then embraced him, and began to self-detonate his Dharma Idol.

This was a huge injury for a Nascent Soul, but he lived for revenge!
