Wu Shattered Star River

#83 - Chapter 83: Division of Forces

The next day, early in the morning, the two hundred selected warriors were assembled. The Grand Elder and Third Elder personally saw them off, distributing badges and a Profound Burst Pill to each person.

The Grand Elder didn't waste words, merely glanced at Qi Bing before waving his hand to signal the group to depart.

Apart from the Godslayer Squad, the other five Profound Realm warriors were all eighth or ninth level powerhouses, and they were not young.

The oldest was forty-nine years old, Gu Yunfeng, the patriarch of the Gu family, a subordinate clan.

According to custom, after leaving the city, the ten Profound Realm warriors should have separately led nineteen people away.

At the city gate, Zuo Yiyi spoke, "Patriarch Gu, our Godslayer Squad plans to act together. You can lead these warriors separately."

"Huh?"

Gu Yunfeng and the other four Profound Realm warriors exchanged confused glances. What was Zuo Yiyi playing at?

For the five Profound Realm members of the Godslayer Squad to gather together without leading a team would put a lot of pressure on them.

The terrain of the nearby mountains was very complex. The more people, the more inconvenient the action. They were originally only required to lead nineteen people each, but now they had to lead thirty-nine, making the target too large and easily attracting attention.

Leading a group of Purple Mansion Realm warriors was actually a burden to them, offering little help in battle.

Once they encountered a strong enemy, they would also be implicated. Zuo Yiyi was being somewhat unreasonable.

"How about this!"

Seeing the difficulty on the faces of the five Profound Realm warriors, Zuo Yiyi said, "How about you all don't lead teams? The five of you can travel together, and the Purple Mansion Realm warriors can act on their own."

"Our two teams will act separately, first ambushing and killing the Skywolf Hall's Profound Realm warriors. As long as we kill all of their Profound Realm warriors, the remaining one hundred and ninety Purple Mansion Realm warriors can be easily wiped out."

"This…"

Gu Yunfeng and the others exchanged glances, hesitating again.

The main reason was that the five of them were all patriarchs or elders of subordinate clans. This time, they were leading one hundred and ninety people, and most of them were from the five families.

If they separated from their subordinates, and the subordinates encountered Skywolf Hall warriors led by Profound Realm experts, their people might not survive.

"Patriarch Gu!"

Jiang Han suddenly spoke, "You can do this: you lead these one hundred and ninety people to move slower, or… just find a place to hide."

"Our squad will go ahead and see if we can hunt down a few of their Profound Realm experts. As long as we can hunt down a few, we will win this battle."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunfeng and the others nodded in agreement. Jiang Han's plan suited them well.

After some discussion, they simply decided to lead the main force to a cave nearby and hide for two days, waiting for Jiang Han and the others to gain some advantage before taking action.

"It's settled then!"

Zuo Yiyi waved her hand and left with Qi Bing, Niu Meng, Jiang Lang, and Jiang Han.

The reason for doing this was the result of everyone's discussion. Bringing a group of Purple Mansion Realm warriors was meaningless and would only hinder them.

The five members of the Godslayer Squad complemented each other, and only together could they unleash their powerful combat strength.

Niu Meng was mainly for defense and attracting firepower, Zuo Yiyi and Qi Bing were the main attackers, Jiang Han was suitable for stealth attacks, and Jiang Lang was suitable for support.

At the Dragonfall City gate, the combined forces of Jiang Han, Qi Bing, Jiang Lang, and Zuo Yiyi instantly killed three high-level Profound Realm experts, which revealed a lot.

Conversely, if the five were separated, their combat power would be greatly weakened. Someone like Niu Meng could easily be exhausted to death, and Jiang Lang would be even more dangerous.

Zuo Yiyi did not release the White Tiger. The five of them walked forward, heading straight for the mountains to the north.

The Skywolf Hall's camp was in a mountain hundreds of miles to the north, and their warriors naturally came from the north.

The five of them moved very quickly, crossing more than a dozen mountains in just over two hours.

After a month of fierce fighting, there were no more demons or beasts in the nearby mountains, and everyone was able to travel in peace.

However, they occasionally saw corpses along the way. Because the badges had been taken, they didn't know which side they belonged to, and they could only cover their mouths and walk around them.

Now that they were in this area, they could encounter enemies at any time. The group slowed down and began to chew on dry rations to replenish their strength, preparing for a major battle.

After another half an hour, crossing several more mountains, Jiang Han suggested, "Captain, how about you and Niu Meng and Bing-jie go ahead separately, three hundred feet apart? Jiang Lang and I will follow underground."

"This way, we can easily spot enemies and hide our strength. If you find anything, send a signal in time, and we will immediately reinforce you."

"Feasible!"

Zuo Yiyi and Qi Bing exchanged glances and nodded. Zuo Yiyi said, "You and Niu Meng go underground. Jiang Lang will be in the middle, and Bing-jie and I will be on the left and right."

Niu Meng wasn't very bright, and Zuo Yiyi was afraid that he wouldn't react quickly enough.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lang shrank back and said, "I'm walking alone? I'm scared. How about I walk with Bingbing? You and Niu Meng form a group, and Xiao Hanhan can go play underground by himself."

"Scram!"

Qi Bing snorted coldly and floated to the left. Zuo Yiyi ignored him and walked to the right.

Jiang Han grinned and said to Jiang Lang, "A-Lang, don't be afraid. If you encounter an enemy, just shout loudly, and your brother will come to save you."

Jiang Han dug a hole and entered the ground with Niu Meng. Jiang Lang had no choice but to walk forward alone.

He slowed down, constantly looking around, acting like a thief trying to steal something.

Jiang Han led Niu Meng to dig a tunnel, not too deep, only half a zhang from the surface, so that he could sense any major movements above.

"Boom!"

Half an hour later, the ground to the left suddenly shook, and at the same time, Zuo Yiyi's sharp roar rang out.

Jiang Han dug at full speed, heading towards that direction. At the same time, Jiang Lang and Qi Bing rushed over.

By the time Jiang Han arrived at the battlefield, Zuo Yiyi was already engaged in a fierce battle with a group of people.

The leader here was a young man riding a black magic wolf, with the combat power of a seventh-level Profound Realm warrior. He also had nineteen Purple Mansion Realm warriors around him, and twenty people were besieging Zuo Yiyi alone.

Zuo Yiyi was truly fierce, wielding a huge hammer, unafraid of fighting twenty people alone.

Two people had been smashed away by her, their chest ribs completely broken, and they had been smashed to death by her.

"咻 !"

Although Qi Bing was far away, she was the fastest to arrive. She kicked off a tree with one leg, and her body floated like a light goose. The chilling frost filled her long sword, causing the temperature in the area to drop sharply.

"Qi Bing?"

The young man riding the black magic wolf showed a look of fear in his eyes when he saw Qi Bing. A light lit up in his hand, and he suddenly slapped his palm towards the direction Qi Bing was flying from.

A gust of wind blew out from the young man's hand. The wind was so strong that it blew down a large tree in front of him, and Qi Bing's figure retreated rapidly.

"Drink!"

The young man slapped his palm again, and another gust of wind blew. Zuo Yiyi was blown away with her hammer. The young man patted the wolf's head and roared, "Run, run quickly!"

The young man's realm was one level lower than Zuo Yiyi's, at the seventh level of the Profound Realm, and he had some difficulty facing Zuo Yiyi, let alone the arrival of Qi Bing, who possessed terrifying divine power at the ninth level of the Profound Realm.

His divine power was wind-based, but it was not for increasing speed, but for gathering strong winds, which could only repel enemies and not harm them.

Naturally, he wouldn't be foolish enough to continue fighting. If he didn't escape, he would surely die.

"Bang!"

The ground in front of him suddenly exploded, and then a black shadow shot out, and a black long knife stabbed straight into the black giant wolf under him.

"Bang!"

The giant wolf was only a first-order demon beast, and its belly was broken open by the black long knife.

The young man reacted quickly, patted the wolf's back, and his body soared into the sky. He waved his palm, and a gust of wind blew towards the ground. His body shot away into the distance with the help of the reaction force.

"Roar!"

Another person drilled out of the ground. Niu Meng came out, wielding a broad axe and hacking wildly at the nearby Purple Mansion Realm warriors. Two people were cut in half at the waist after a few axe strikes.

"Want to escape?"

In front of the Skywolf Hall youth, a wretched fat man drilled out of the bushes. He was holding a large handful of divine talismans in his hand, grinning and looking at the youth and smiling: "Little thief, I have twenty-eight earth-grade divine talismans here. Which one do you want to eat?"

The Skywolf Hall youth looked at the divine talismans in Jiang Lang's hand, and a look of despair appeared in his eyes.

He didn't escape anymore, his body suddenly turned around, and he rushed towards Jiang Han, who was chasing after him, with a long sword.

His face became distorted, and he roared murderously, "A first-level Profound Realm warrior dares to chase me? Die, I will drag one of you down with me."
