Only to see the Six Military Officers’ faces change, they then simultaneously shouted, "Formation!"
A Sword Qi, about ten zhang long and comparable to a strike from the Heavenly Pass Tao Seed, surged out as the sound of drawing swords rang out, slashing fiercely towards the front.
A series of booming sounds erupted, sending snow spraying dozens of meters high.
Immediately after, the snowy ground between the two parties exploded, revealing a fault.
Beneath the fault was a river over a hundred meters wide, with turbulent currents.
The Horse neighed loudly, its hooves raised high; the Six Military Officers pulled on their reins, advancing in a triangular formation, their gazes tense and solemn, staring intently at the figure in a cloak on the opposite riverbank, whose facial features were concealed.
First, there came a Profound Body Peak expert!
Now, another Heavenly Pass Tao Seed has arrived!
"Who dares to obstruct the Ninth Mountain’s mission?" The leading Military Officer at the forefront coldly shouted across the river, his eyes filled with cold arrogance as he stared at the figure beneath the cloak.
This Military Officer’s name is Niu Bing, unlike the other five who were under the jurisdiction of the Central Road’s Demon Suppression Envoy, specifically Pei Yanhu’s subordinates left in Jingguan City, managed by two Military participants. Previously, he was the General’s Flag for the 12th route of the Left Road Mountain-cutting Army of Ninth Mountain. While returning from the Demon Battlefield, he broke through to Profound Body, and afterwards was appointed as a Military Officer by the General. A few days ago, he ended his leave and was recalled by military order.
With the Overseers’ investigation of unusual events increasing, the troops dispatched by the two Military participants were insufficient, hence by the orders of Chen Yuan, they went to the Ninth Mountain to request additional troops, and Niu Bing was called over to General Mountain to take charge.
Now, the "Wutong Leaf" was in his hands.
The leading Military Officer spoke, then raised his long sword forwards, pointing directly at the opponent.
As an experienced veteran of the Demon Battlefield, baptized in blood, he faced a master of the Heavenly Gate Seed Realm without panic, instead facing the danger with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Hehe, I’m not afraid of your Ninth Mountain, what do a few Profound Body Military Officers count for? Hand over that feather you got on General Mountain." The figure under the cloak let out a strange cold laughter, obviously disguising his voice, which became extremely fervent towards the end.
"Hmph, hiding your face and only showing your tail, if you are not afraid, then take off your cloak; that way I can report back to my General and see if he decides to kill you!" Military Officer Niu Bing said emotionlessly, full of killing intent.
Upon hearing this, the figure under the cloak choked, fear flashing across his hidden eyes, followed by a low growl filled with frustration and urgency.
"Sharp-tongued, if you won’t hand it over, I will kill you myself and take it."
At that, the man raised his arms and slapped the river in front, immediately causing a loud roar as the river water fiercely churned, miraculously swelled into a giant wave about ten zhang high crashing towards the position of the Six Military Officers.
The giant wave rolled forth; the snowy ground cracked, rapidly spreading fissures.
On the other side, Military Officer Niu Bing snorted coldly, his hands spread and a chilling white light burst forth, revealing an icy White Bone Spear in his hand.
The moment it appeared, accompanied by a strong and chilling aura of a Taoist Soldier, it became evident!
As this aura appeared, not only the cloaked figure on the opposite bank was startled, the five accompanying Military Officers were also shocked.
While holding the Bone Spear, Niu Bing felt somewhat proud; this could be called a "perk" of the veteran soldiers of the Ninth Mountain. Back during the chaotic Demon Battlefield, as countless Demons were slain by the General, some Taoist weapons from the Heavenly Pass Demons were scattered across the battlefield, which the General paid no mind to; this was fortunate for those who cleaned up after the battlefield.
Many among those who survived the Demon Battlefield, following the General, more or less gained benefits from the battlefield.
At this moment, holding the Bone Spear, he poured mighty True Qi into it, causing the white Bone Spear to emit a piercing hum as if a demonic sound filled the ears; it then grew against the wind, enlarging into three or four zhang.
Subsequently, with both hands grasping the giant Bone Spear, he thrust it fiercely into the oncoming giant wave.
The moment the Bone Spear’s white light erupted, as it contacted the giant wave, a chilling white mist rapidly spread like lightning; within moments, the ferociously powerful giant wave was forcibly frozen.
Soon after, like glass shattering, fissures began spreading from the tip of the spear everywhere, and with a booming sound, shattered loudly.
Following that, Military Officer Niu Bing shouted to the somewhat stunned five Military Officers, "What are you waiting for? Join hands and help me empower this weapon to slay this fiend!"
After saying this, Niu Bing mounted his steed and shot forwards.
