Chapter 2774 The Unfathomable Power
On the battlefield, Bai Zhantian fought with great gusto.
It's been a long time since I've faced an opponent with such overwhelming martial prowess. Over the past thousand years, the enemies I've killed have all preferred to win through supernatural powers, magic, formations, and divine kingdoms, making the fights weak and unsatisfying.
Only the Tiger Wing General on the opposite side dared to confront him head-on, with swords and axes clashing.
Furthermore, General Tiger Wing has another unique characteristic: the composition of his power is unknown.
Bai Zhantian has spent his entire life studying "power," and he can always easily analyze the source of his opponent's power. Don't underestimate this ability; once you understand the reason behind it, you'll know how to deal with it.
But the Tiger Wing General before them was covered in a dark sheen, blacker than ink, so thick it was almost liquefied.
Whether they are immortals or warriors of Panlong, Bai Zhantian can clearly see how their true energy and primordial energy flow. He can even give Bai Zhantian a heads-up when they are preparing to unleash a powerful attack, as the large amount of true energy they accumulate rapidly moves.
Only this Tiger Wing General was completely oblivious to his own situation. No matter how Bai Zhantian used his divine arts to investigate, he remained an enigmatic black hole.
Under the cover of this black light, Bai Zhantian could not see how Tiger Wing General's power was accumulated, distributed, and flowed, thus lacking much real-time and valuable intelligence to make decisions, and had to be more cautious during battle.
Furthermore, this layer of black light did not merely serve a concealing function; the trouble it caused Bai Zhantian could be described in two words:
Extremely disgusting.
Like his annihilation power, this power can also be transmitted to the opponent through the weapon, and it is especially pervasive after there are wounds.
Fighting an opponent like General Tiger Wing, it's impossible to avoid some injuries. Bai Zhantian noticed that these forcibly attached black lights transformed into human faces, which then clung to his wounds and devoured his flesh and blood.
They are not real human or ghost faces, but merely manifestations of power. After all, how could such ghostly creatures dare to approach within ten feet of a Great God?
This was a completely new power for Bai Zhantian, one he had never encountered before.
"Karma!" Just then, a majestic and vast voice rang in his ears, "The black light on Tiger Wing's body is a power unique to the human world, the power of sin, or the power of karmic obstacles."
Bai Zhantian suddenly realized. Things that do not exist in the realm of gods are naturally not within the power system he is familiar with.
"As long as one lives in this world, one will have sins and karmic consequences, and be entangled in cause and effect." The voice continued, "Even in the mortal realm, the power of karma is a force that immortals and cultivators avoid like the plague. As the saying goes, 'When one is burdened by sins, there is no way to ascend to heaven.' I never thought it could be used by Tiger Wing. Since you have come to the mortal realm, you can only abide by the laws of the mortal realm. In today's great battle, you have affected many living people, and karma will also have an effect on you."
Therefore, although Bai Zhantian was deeply involved in the ancient war, he had never fought against this kind of power, because it was not something that immortals could control.
For a fierce god like Bai Zhantian, who is covered in bloodshed, karma is like a bone-deep infection. Once it gets on him, he can't get rid of it no matter what he does. It is a hundred times more stubborn than the annihilation power he plants on others.
Even setting aside the power of the barrier, General Tiger Wing's strength far exceeded Bai Zhantian's expectations. He originally thought that the strongest among the Panlong disciples, besides General Red, would only be Zhong Shengguang.
As for General Hong, there's nothing to say; he has unclear relationships with both Mitian and Dafanghu.
Whether in the celestial realm or the mortal realm, status is often closely linked to cultivation and martial prowess. The rulers of Mount Ling are the few True Immortals with the highest cultivation levels, while the supreme ruler of the celestial realm is the incomparably powerful Spirit Void Saint Venerable. Therefore, by analogy, the strongest person in Panlong Kingdom should be its leader, Zhong Shengguang.
Although General Tiger Wing had been active on the front lines against Bega from the very beginning, his soul had been hidden away for nearly five years, and his body had been dormant for five years. The Heavenly Palace had assessed the key ministers and generals of Panlong, and those who mentioned General Tiger Wing considered him an excellent military leader, decisive in his actions, and possessing considerable cultivation, but at most capable of fighting a celestial being to a draw. Who could have predicted that his power would actually rival that of a Great Celestial?
According to the information collected by Tiangong and Bega, General Tiger Wing's true birthplace is unknown. He is only in his thirties this year and has been a member of the Panlong Army for just over ten years. His career path can be traced back, and it has been mostly military life, spent either fighting or training troops. Unlike General Red, he has not been favored by the ancient gods of the celestial realm, nor has anyone heard of any earth-shattering miracles or inheritances.
How could an ordinary person who rose through the ranks of the military possess the power to contend with a great god? Bai Zhantian was extremely curious about the answer.
He had previously displayed great ferocity, killing even the generals and immortals of Panlong. The Panlong army could only watch helplessly, filled with resentment but powerless to do anything. Now, General Tiger Wing descended from the heavens, single-handedly blocking the Great God. The Panlong army cheered, their morale soaring once again.
Xu Shichu watched from the sidelines, unable to find an opportunity to intervene. The two were fighting too...exclusive. Putting everything else aside, he couldn't keep up with their fighting and movement speed alone.
This wasn't just his problem; the other demons were equally perplexed, finding it difficult to step forward and offer assistance.
So the two sides looked at each other and said, "Alright, let's just fight each other."
Everyone should find opponents of similar skill level.
Thus, in heaven and on earth, the mighty forces fought against each other, and armies fought against each other.
In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Gao Huaiyuan mobilized his troops several more times, then observed the battlefield situation, his tightly furrowed brows never relaxing.
Having achieved this level of troop deployment, Gao Huaiyuan believed he had done his utmost and could only leave the rest to fate. With General Hu Yi personally involved, the one currently playing the overall game against him was most likely Zhong Shengguang.
It was well past midnight, and Gao Huaiyuan was no longer sure if time was on Beijia's side.
At this moment, a messenger came running from behind, kicking up mud splattered everywhere:
"Urgent news from the northeast front: Zhang Kangyi and Du Shi'an's two armies have retreated overnight. The main force of the army has already left the camp and retreated more than 30 li. They are currently at Partridge Forest. Our Beast Demon reports again: General Hong is leading a large-scale southward march. She herself is leading several thousand elite troops to rush to the aid. She should be able to reach Mingsha Forest as early as dawn!"
Ah, General Red was so anxious that he thought the army was moving too slowly, so he simply led his own swift-footed troops to get here first.
The fact that she dared to charge forward with only a few thousand men shows her overflowing confidence.
These were two truly bad news items. Gao Huaiyuan smoothed his face.
Why didn't those two generals choose to withdraw their troops after dawn? Were they really so short of a night?
really.
