Bayue Weiban

Chapter 434 Yue Bai's First Battle

This operation was not unimportant. Ji Yuan pondered for a long time before finally deciding to bring the few people before him.

Although Li Junxian and Zheng Wanrong were not high in cultivation, they had traveled with Zhao Yuansong for many years and were rich in experience and combat skills.

Lu Yuzhe and Zheng Jiaxing lacked experience but were very strong in combat. Especially the former's self-learned cultivation technique, which had few opponents in the same realm, and he could have a great advantage when facing enemies one or two small realms higher.

As for Zhao Yuebai...

Although his talent was extremely high and his cultivation was quite good now, he was also cultivating the top-tier Xuantian Sword Art.

However, Ji Yuan brought him out this time mainly to broaden his horizons and accumulate some combat experience.

"Try to avoid conflict as much as possible this time, focusing on not exposing our whereabouts."

Ji Yuan looked at the few people and made arrangements.

The four would split into two pairs, responsible for contacting the resistance forces in the city and gathering as many people as possible.

He, on the other hand, would bring Zhao Yuebai to seize supplies from the warehouses and infiltrate the rebel commanders' locations, attempting to assassinate key figures if possible.

According to some information obtained from Li Qingshan's sea of consciousness, this Shilong County only had two third-realm cultivators. One of them had been forcefully deified by him and was currently refining divine power in Xiaoyuan Mountain.

As for the remaining third-realm cultivator, it was only at the early stage of cultivation, and they were merely a wild cultivator from the mountains and marshes.

The entire county town now only had over a thousand rebel soldiers, which posed no threat to them.

Even if their whereabouts were exposed, it would be very easy for them to escape.

The only trouble was that this place was too close to the front line. Fifty thousand rebel soldiers were stationed tens of miles away. Although most of them were rabble, and many were men forcibly recruited from all directions.

However, their core strength could not be underestimated. Besides a few cultivators from the Wangsheng Tower, there were also three sects that had defected to their command, with five third-realm cultivators alone.

Not to mention a unit of three thousand infantry, which could be called elites, and one hundred cavalry.

According to Li Qingshan's intelligence, the battle formation formed by these three thousand infantry was enough to withstand one or two early-stage third-realm cultivators head-on.

And if the one hundred cavalry charged, even third-realm cultivators would find it difficult to resist their might.

At the same time, there were a large number of heavy weapons in the army, and the combined attack of these could easily kill even third-realm cultivators.

Once their whereabouts were exposed, it was hard to say that they wouldn't be surrounded by this force, and it would be difficult to escape then.

Li Junxian and the others naturally understood the seriousness of the situation, and they nodded solemnly before dispersing and leaving.

Lu Yuzhe and Zheng Jiaxing followed behind one of them. Although their talent and cultivation were extremely strong, they lacked sufficient experience and knowledge. This time, they also had the intention to learn more and see more.

"Master, are we going to act now?"

Zhao Yuebai looked up.

After a period of training and the addition of a special body-refining method, he had returned to his original physique from being a chubby boy.

However, a little baby fat still remained on his face, which was quite pleasant to pinch and was greatly liked by Xia Dong and the others.

"Not yet, I'll find you a worthy opponent first."

Ji Yuan smiled slightly, his mind already clear about the upcoming action.

Soon after, he took Zhao Yuebai away from Shilong County and quietly found a rebel patrol team, which was also capturing strong men, more than ten miles away.

This rebel team consisted of only fifty men, thirty of whom were infantry and twenty were cavalry.

Of course, the so-called cavalry were just infantry riding horses. The real cavalry were all concentrated at the front line.

There were only less than eighty in the county town, and they were far from the real elites, unable to threaten cultivators above the second or third realm.

After observing for a while, Ji Yuan let Zhao Yuebai act on his own, while he simply watched from the side.

In this plan, besides seizing enough resources for Linfu County and finding opportunities to kill the commanders here.

The biggest goal was to temper Zhao Yuebai, as well as Lu Yuzhe and Zheng Jiaxing, and increase their combat experience, as well as their overall experience and abilities.

Looking at the rebels resting by the roadside more than ten yards away, Zhao Yuebai was hesitant at first, not knowing how to start.

However, after pondering for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. While casting spells to conceal his aura, he took out two talismans and pasted them on his body.

One was an invisibility talisman, but it was not true invisibility. Instead, it used the spiritual power within the talisman to cause a certain degree of distortion to the line of sight that fell upon him.

The other talisman was a lightness talisman, which could enhance the user's speed. The former Ji Yuan had also used this talisman many times.

After making preparations, Zhao Yuebai quietly approached them, bypassed the more than twenty captured young men and boys, and reached the edge of the camp.

His gaze fell on the several people in the center of the camp, who were clearly mostly cultivators. He was already forming a sword seal with his hand.

There was no dazzling sword light, nor was there any loud noise. A flying sword silently appeared among the rebels, as if no one had noticed.

When a cultivator suddenly sensed something and instinctively turned to look.

A afterimage flashed before his eyes, and then a stinging pain came from his brow. In an instant, the magic power in his body collapsed and drained.

A splash of blood stained the ground. The other four cultivators then realized something was wrong and were about to stand up and warn everyone, but then sword light suddenly appeared again.

As if moonlight was falling, amidst a cold glint, the four cultivators were instantly beheaded. Their heads heavily struck the ground.

Such a commotion naturally alerted the surrounding rebels, and shouts of warning rang out one after another. Many soldiers quickly reached for their weapons.

But at this moment, with a soft shout from Zhao Yuebai, countless sword lights crisscrossed, and a flying sword divided into numerous sword shadows, shooting out in all directions.

In just a few breaths, more than twenty rebel soldiers fell, most of them severely wounded, with only a few being killed instantly.

Zhao Yuebai revealed his figure, holding a sword seal with one hand, controlling the flying sword to move among the rebels. Every time the sword light flashed, several rebel soldiers fell.

At the same time, he formed a seal with one hand, and strands of Geng Metal Qi erupted from his body, transforming into long swords.

Pfft pfft pfft!!!

As the sound of air breaking through arose, the long swords fiercely pierced the bodies of the rebel soldiers, slaying all the remaining rebels who were preparing to resist!

In less than thirty breaths, there were no more rebel soldiers standing in this place. Most of them lay on the ground, severely wounded, and some were directly killed by the flying sword and the materialized long swords.

Zhao Yuebai retracted his natal flying sword and waved his hand, causing the materialized long swords to collapse, turning back into Geng Metal Qi and returning to his body.

At the same time, his face was pale as he looked at the scene before him. This was the first time he had taken a life, and such a large number of them. Even though his mind was far beyond that of his peers, he was still somewhat stunned at this moment.

Especially when the captured strong men, even though their ropes were not untied, crawled on the ground towards the severely wounded rebel soldiers.

Whether biting with their teeth, tearing with their hands, or clenching their fists and pounding, they vented their anger.

Such a scene also made Zhao Yuebai's face turn even paler.
