Chapter 1765 — Severing Love, Ending Hatred

The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 3

The Dragon Qilin rose to his feet, cut off the Western Emperor's head, and carrying the Western Emperor's head, leaped onto the back of the Void Mother-Beast and vanished in a flash. He came among the beast-realm army, transformed into his true form of Dragon Qilin, and roared at the heavens, his voice spreading through the entire beast-realm army, ordering the beast-realm army to contract and open a corridor to let the routed Heavenly Court army pass. If they trapped the Heavenly Court army at this moment, it would surely be a case of a cornered beast; the Heavenly Court army would turn and fight back, and whether friend or foe, it would devolve into a battle to the death!

Then, the Heavenly Court's collapsed morale would rise higher and higher with the death-struggle and despair.

Whereas letting them have a path of escape would instead make the Heavenly Court's officers and soldiers' morale sink even lower! Surround on three sides, leave one open—this is the way of war. The Dragon Qilin controlled the beast-realm army, striking continuously at the Heavenly Court's flanks, encircling and annihilating those officers and soldiers who fell behind, expanding the fruits of victory.

At the same time, in the sky, the Jing Ping army led by Jiang Baigui attacked from above, first dropping a rain of swords to throw the chaotic army into greater chaos, then cutting in from the tail of the Heavenly Court's fleeing troops. The army led by Jiang Baigui was like a centipede's pincers, opening and closing, and with one snap it cut off more than a hundred thousand troops from the tail of the fleeing soldiers, encircled them, and launched a war of annihilation.

And Jiang Baigui stood in the air, gazing afar at the beast-realm army.

He saw that though the beast realm was all ancient titanic beasts, their formations were stern and orderly, like ramparts, and he could not help but praise, "Dragon Mountain Loose Cultivator has the talent of a Heavenly Master!

The deployment of formations has not the slightest flaw. " The two armies continued to nibble away, pursuing the routed Heavenly Court army with all their might. The Dragon Qilin also noticed Jiang Baigui's formation deployments, and immediately saw through Jiang Baigui's design.

"Imperial Teacher Jiang Jingping pursues from the rear, and I need only deploy the army to encircle and divide from the flanks, and I can achieve surround-on-three-leave-one-open, making the Heavenly Court bleed without cease. I need not annihilate the Heavenly Court officers and soldiers I cut off; Imperial Teacher Jiang Jingping will naturally come from the rear and destroy these men.

" Though the two did not communicate, each saw the other's design, and their coordination was seamless, forcing the Heavenly Court to abandon even more baggage in order to march swiftly; those heavy implements difficult to transport were also cast aside. After a moment, suddenly flames blazed high, and another Jing Ping army burst out from the Heavenly Court's great camp, pursuing and killing at their heels—it was the army led by the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird and Yan'er.

After another moment, another company of gods with three heads and six arms came killing, as the Crimson Emperor and Bright Emperor arrived. Jiang Baigui, reinforced by these two forces, set his heart at ease.

The army he led had marched a long distance, trampled flat the Xuandu gods and demons, and then rushed without pause to provide support; they were truly worn out.

This pursuit, too, was staked on their own lives!

This day was destined to be the Heavenly Court's darkest day.

The various armies pursued all the way, and in the Heavenly Court's great camp, another encirclement and annihilation was still underway. The Heavenly Court officers and soldiers who had not had time to escape the great camp fell into heavy encirclement; everywhere was the fire of war, and the battlefield was divided into piece after piece.

"Where are the officers and soldiers of the Carefree Land? " Ling Yuxiu's divine city arrived, and she asked the Blind Elder.

The Blind Elder immediately flew out of the divine city, and Ling Yuxiu hastily instructed the formation masters behind her, saying, "Quickly, summon the Medicine King God! " In the Heavenly Court's great camp, the Heavenly Saber Butcher and the others dispersed the Heavenly Court gods and demons besieging the Carefree Land and looked toward the battlefield.

They saw collapsed palaces and buildings everywhere, a scene of utter devastation. Of the Carefree Land's two hundred thousand officers and soldiers, only two or three thousand remained, every one of them wounded. Many familiar figures could no longer be seen.

The Heavenly Saber Butcher sheathed his blade and walked through the pools of blood. Suddenly, a Carefree Land officer or soldier reached out a single arm and grabbed the hem of his trousers.

The Butcher looked down and saw that the Carefree Land soldier had been cut in two at the waist, his other arm gone as well, barely clinging to life by a thread. "Brother, give me a clean end. " The Carefree Land soldier looked up, forcing a smile onto his scarred face. The Butcher took out the wound medicine he carried and tended the man's wounds, saying in a low voice, "Do not worry.

In those years, I too was wounded as gravely as you, and afterward I survived. Jing Ping has the Creation Mystic Art; so long as you can learn it, what is lost can grow back. .

. Alchemist!

Where is the alchemist?

" He bellowed at the top of his voice, but there were simply too many wounded; the alchemists in the Jing Ping army were far from enough. The officers and soldiers under his command each took out their own wound medicine and distributed it to the Carefree Land wounded.

The Butcher came to Wen Tiange's side.

Wen Tiange shook his head, barely raising a finger: "Save the farmer first.

. . " The Butcher hurried to the direction he pointed.

He saw the Martial Arts Heavenly Master Zhuo Cha lying on the ground, shielding Yan Yunxi beneath him.

The Butcher forcefully moved the Martial Arts Heavenly Master aside, and saw that this old farmer had already breathed his last, while Yan Yunxi still had a breath left. It must have been that amid the chaotic army, the Martial Arts Heavenly Master had desperately shielded Yan Yunxi, preserving Yan Yunxi's life, but had himself not held on until victory's arrival.

He could not spare a thought for Zhuo Cha; he hastily applied medicine for Yan Yunxi. Yan Yunxi stared with wide eyes but could see nothing; both her eyes had been pierced blind by the poisoned needles of the Heavenly Court's Great Sun Star Lord. "Is Zhuo Cha all right?

" she asked.

The Butcher looked at the Martial Arts Heavenly Master's corpse, nodded, then remembered she could not see, and said, "He is well. " "That is good.

" Yan Yunxi smiled: "After this war is over, we will marry and go into seclusion. I have already agreed with him.

.

. Wen Tiange, this old lady does not like you anymore. This old lady has someone she likes! You have no human warmth about you; only then did I realize that what I liked was not you.

.

. " As she smiled and smiled, she coughed blood again and again.

Qi Xiayu lay in Indra's arms. The once most handsome of men had now become the most hideous of the Wrathful Wisdom Kings, yet neither Qi Xiayu nor Indra had any oil left to burn. In this battle, the Crimson Emperor had entered nirvana nine times, her battle power growing stronger each time, but after the ninth, she had exhausted all her vitality.

"Do you still hate me? " she asked, looking at the man her heart admired.

The Wrathful Wisdom King lowered his head: "The Buddha harbors no hatred. " "Then do you still love me?

" The Wrathful Wisdom King was silent.
