World of Cultivation - Volume 05 - Charge Out of the Ancient Battlefield

by Fang Xiang

  The usually warm and humble Wei also showed dislike. “We cannot let him off so easily!”

  Putting down his worries about Nan Yue and the others, Zuo Mo’s gaze turned towards the impassioned Yu Heng in the yao channel. He felt like he had swallowed a fly.

  “Of course we can’t let this guy go.” Zuo Mo narrowed his eyes that flashed viciously.

  The three miraculously had a consensus of opinion!

  “Let’s get him!”

  Chapter 406: Let’s Have A Fight!

  “Yu Heng is really an old fox,” Ji Li Yu praised.

  “Yes! I didn’t think that this guy was so cunning!” Ji Cheng still didn’t believe it, and it was hard to blame him. Before this, he wouldn’t even look at the corps commander of a regular corps. In the eyes of these large clans, the subordinate corps of the Council of Elders were the true elite. The regular corps were stronger than local corps, but their prestige and reputation was low.

  But this time, he had been convinced that the regular corps also had powerful people.

  “Do not underestimate others.” Ji Li Yu rolled her eyes. “Yu Heng is a golden battle general in the end, so how could he be weak? But comparing the actors of this scene, Yu Zi Zhou is really lacking. There isn’t anyone good in this generation of the Jade Family.”

  “Tsk tsk, it seems that Yu Zi Zhou is completely out of the game! This kind of trash, Old Sis will definitely look down on,” Ji Cheng said as he shook his head.

  Ji Li Yu said unconcernedly, “I didn’t have much interest in him to start with. If it wasn’t for fact he is from the Jade Family, I wouldn’t have even bothered with him.”

  “I don’t know who will become my brother-in-law,” Ji Cheng muttered. Then he seemed to think of something. “But seeing Xiao Mo Ge losing, Old Sis probably feels very good!”

  “Hee, slightly good!” Ji Li Yu’s brows relaxed, but then quickly creased again as she said, “However, I feel that Xiao Mo Ge wouldn’t lie down so easily.”

  “In front of Yu Heng the old fox, he definitely has no chance of making a comeback,” Ji Cheng said confidently.

  “That is not so certain … …” Ji Li Yu unconsciously wanted to say this; but when the words reached her mouth, she finally reacted and swallowed them back down.

  That figure floated in her mind. She had a strong feeling this guy wouldn’t give up here!

  Fleeing without fighting definitely was not this guy’s style!

  ———

  “What? You aren’t going to help that little guy who you were interested in?” the fire-faced person said curiously. “This guy’s situation isn’t good right now!”

  “I’m not so idle as to make time for such things,” Tian Liu said disgruntledly.

  “Hm, weren’t you very interested in him all this time? Didn’t you praise him for his outstanding talent and limitless potential,” the fire faced person asked with shock.

  “You who dislikes salt does not need to worry about those of us who like salted carrots.” Qian Liu was so lazy he didn’t even open his eyes.

  The fire faced person was enraged. “I hate eating carrots!” His tone suddenly changed. “You really aren’t worried?”

  Facing the fire faced person’s nagging, Qian Liu was helpless. He could only raised his face. “In any case, it is just losing some popularity. So what? He won’t lose his life.”

  “Oh, that’s right.” The fire faced person reacted.

  “Also, that boy isn’t one take an attack like that lying down.”

  “So, you are actually interested in the boy … …”

  ———

  Yu Heng’s move caused both he and the Heavy Earth Corps to become famous.

  No matter if it was the normal citizens that were truly fooled by him, or his opponents that knew him, they were filled with praise. Morale at the Heavy Earth Corps increased. Everyone raised their heads and puffed their chests. They were mentally satisfied and full of reverence when they looked at the corps commander.

  Yu Heng was very proud. The effect that the plan, he had twisted his mind for, had had far surpassed his expectations. He had not been criticized for this matter. It was the opposite. Instead the military command had given him rewards for this. It had to be said that the geniuses of the yao art houses did not like to take positions in the military unless it was the corps that were directly subordinate to the Council of Elders, these were the positions that were attractive to them. The military command had always felt great pain about this but never had a solution.

  The draft call of the Heavy Metal Corps caused their eyes to light up. Even more importantly, Yu Heng had made this matter beautiful! It hadn’t caused trouble for them, but made the military seem more upright. Even more, at this time when they were losing on the front lines, the words of the Corps Commander Yu Heng said had caused the low morale of the soldiers to greatly increase.

  Yu Heng’s days became even better. As to whether or not Xiao Mo Ge would come, he was not concerned. After the storm this time, his reputation had shot up. Some citizens had put his name forward for the position of [The First Corps Commander of the Regular Corps]. No matter if Xiao Mo Ge came or not, he had benefited. As for actually being sent to the front lines, he was not afraid. His position as corps commander had been earned by rising up through the ranks.

  It really was profit without any costs!

  He smugly watched the yao channels. In the past, he did not like these things that were full of wasted words, but he liked them very much now. Listening to the reporters repeatedly praising him, that made him feel better than anything else.

  Yu Heng recognized the report in the yao channel. Yesterday, it had been him that had praised Yu Heng greatly, “The Tiger of the Regular Corps commanders,” “a true warrior,” “the bravest of the generation.” Yu Heng almost felt embarrassed from hearing the praises.

  How would this guy compliment him today?

  Yu Heng relaxed his body and laid halfway down as he thought and ate fruit.

  “In this period of time, the matter of the drafts has really been turbulent and caused a great and unprecedented discussion. Every side has been continuously speaking of their position. The words of Corps Commander Yu Heng have showed us the sincerity of the Heavy Earth Corps. However, from beginning to end, we have missed the voice of one of the most important participants, Xiao Mo Ge! From the start, Xiao Mo Ge has not showed himself, and has not ever given his opinion on this matter. What we are able to see is only Xiao Mo Ge one on four battle and him defeating four Heavy Earth Corps combat yao in the recording yao arts. But today, Xiao Mo Ge has finally made a statement.”

  Yu Heng was unconcerned. No matter if it was emotionally or rationally, he had the advantage. No matter what Xiao Mo Ge said, he could not win.

  In the yao channel, Xiao Mo Ge’s expression was cold. It was the first time Yu Heng saw Xiao Mo Ge’s appearance. He paused slightly, so young, and then relaxed. His eyes were filled with amusement. What tricks would the other play?

  “I still refuse the draft call of the Heavy Earth Corps.”

  The reporter hurriedly asked, “Why? Do you not want to give your aid for this great war?”

  “No.” Xiao Mo Ge shook his head.

  “Then why?” the reporter pressed.

  Xiao Mo Ge showed an expression of struggle.

  Seeing the direction the interview was going, the reporter had a sense of urgency inside. On the outside, he had to act as a friendly guide. “If you have any difficulties, please tell everyone. I believe everyone will understand!”

  Xiao Mo Ge still shook his head.

  “Is it because of cultivation? You are at an important time in your cultivation?” The reporter used his imagination.

  “No.” Xiao Mo Ge shook his head.

  “Is it because of some predicament that cannot be altered?” the reporter gritted his teeth and asked.

  “No.” Xiao Mo Ge shook his head.

  “Then why?” The report was going to go crazy.<
br />
  Hesitating once again, Xiao Mo Ge asked uncertainly, “Do I really have to say it?”

  “I’m begging you, please say it!” The reporter wanted to cry.

  “But saying it, I feel it wouldn’t be good,” Xiao Mo Ge slowly said.

  The reporter had tears on his face. At this time, every yao that was watching was crying. Yu Heng snorted and smirked. This guy was good at pretending to be mysterious but his moves really sucked!

  “No matter the reason, please say it!” the reporter said with the last of his energy.

  “Then I’ll say it!” Xiao Mo Ge looked innocently at the reporter.

  “Please say … … please say … …” the reporter panted and nodded.

  Xiao Mo Ge suddenly paused. He retracted his playful expression and became grave. All the yao that were watching this unconsciously held their breath. Every yao had the same feeling that Xiao Mo Ge’s following words were definitely very important!

  “Because…” Xiao Mo Ge who had closed his eyes suddenly opened them with a sharp gaze, “because they are too weak!”

  “Too weak?” Intimidated by Xiao Mo Ge’s presence, the reporter instinctively asked.

  “It was four against one a fight with an inexperienced youth like me, who has never stepped on the battlefield, yet they were defeated in one round. Is this the strength of our regular corps?” There was indifference in his tone,reaccounting the event without emotion, yet he was able to convey his deep disappointment. “I am very disappointed! This is our Heavy Earth Corps? This is the Heavy Earth Corps that we have hoped would be able to protect us? This is the Heavy Earth Corps that we are hoping can win this great war?”

  The reporter was completely stunned! Yu Heng was stunned! All the yao that were watching the yao channel were stunned!

  In their ears, there was only Xiao Mo Ge’s icy voice echoing.

  “So I refuse! I have never thought that a regular corps would be this weak. Four against one, but where was your teamwork? Where was the basic strategy that combat yao should have? Where was it? I believe that there are many who have seen the recording yao art. Can you find even the slightest trace of these things from there? And this is our regular corps?”

  Xiao Mo Ge shook his head, his expression serious, as he seemed to talk to himself.

  “A corps that is in such decline saying they want to draft me, should I feel proud? No! I feel embarrassed! This is an embarrassment! Even though I have never joined the army before, in my mind, the army was powerful, so powerful it required our reverence. A qualified combat yao may not match an expert in a one on one battle, but when it is four on one, such a poor performance cannot be forgiven!”

  Among the silence, Zuo Mo’s voice was clear.

  “My personal experiences fill me with bewilderment. The so-called corps commander of this kind of corps, is he really a qualified battle general?”

  In front of the yao channel, Yu Heng was so angry his face was white. His breath was stuck at his chest, unable to go up or down.

  “Maybe a four on one battle cannot reveal the problem. Then…”

  In the yao channel, Xiao Mo Ge that had thrown out such shocking words suddenly raised his head. His raised his right arm, his finger pointing straight as though Yu Heng was right in front of him.

  “Let’s have a fight! Gold General Corps Commander Yu Heng!”

  The clear voice and the domineering presence were imprinted in the minds of countless people alongside the figure of the youth giving a battle challenge with his arm.

  Chapter 407: Acceptance of Battle Invitation

  “He dares! He dares!”

  “Trash! Trash … …”

  “Kill you! Kill you!”

  The guard heard the shouts of the corps commander inside the room, and what followed immediately after was the sound of something crashing against the ground. His head shrank back. Thinking about the flesh and gore scattered around the room last time, his heart tightened.

  Daren was really frightening when angry!

  He was also slightly puzzled. Who had caused Daren to be so furious?

  These days, all of the Heavy Earth Corps had been immersed in joy. Who wasn’t speaking positively of the Heavy Earth Corps? Everyone felt there was a shine to their faces. Supposedly, the military high command would visit the corps in a few days.

  Which unperceptive person was seeking death?

  The guard cursed inside but before he could think it through, a figure came out of the room. It was Daren! He jumped, and hurriedly bowed. However, Daren’s face was dark and did not raise his head.

  Whoa, something major probably happened … …

  ———

  “This guy,” Ji Cheng’s expression was frozen. A moment later, his soul came back and he stammered, “is he crazy? Too … … too domineering! Too arrogant … …”

  Ji Li Yu did not seem to hear it. She looked dazedly at the youth inside the yao channel that was pointing at her. The youth on the yao channel had a gaze like a sword that did not retreat. That straight finger was the declaration of war!

  “Too crazy!” Ji Cheng shook his head and murmured as though he wanted to make himself believe it. He did not even know what he was saying. “Too … … exhilarating!”

  A long while later, the soulless Ji Cheng and the dazedly Ji Li Yu resumed normality. But the two sank into silence. They did not know what to say, and did not know what language to use to describe their mood at the moment.

  A youth that was not yet twenty had publicly challenged the commander of a corps!

  Such an insane even had never happened before in history, but it really happened in front of them. They had seen the entire process with their own eyes.

  “Old Sis, do you think Yu Heng will accept?” Ji Cheng suddenly asked Ji Li Yu.

  Ji li Yu unconsciously bit her lips. “Definitely.”

  “Yes!” Ji Cheng’s tone was very complex. “Yu Heng will definitely accept! Xiao Mo Ge definitely would have predicted that Yu Heng will accept. It really is … … crazy!”

  He repeatedly said “crazy” as though this would be able to truly express his present emotions.

  “We all underestimated him.” Ji Li Yu’s gaze became clear again. Her usual intelligence also returned. She was very calm. “Xiao Mo Ge dares to give this sort of challenge means that he has something he can rely on.”

  Ji Cheng nodded repeatedly. If he had some underestimation and scorn for Xiao Mo Ge before, then he was an admirer of Xiao Mo Ge now. Such a domineering and arrogant challenge, it was so exciting just thinking about it. He wouldn’t even dare to think about it, much less do it!

  No matter if Xiao Mo Ge won or lost, Ji Cheng was completely subdued by the other’s bravery and domineering.

  Without realizing it, Xiao Mo Ge had become Ji Cheng’s idol. Even Ji Cheng did not realize this. He asked urgently, “Is Xiao Mo Ge able to defeat Yu Heng?”

  “No matter how powerful Xiao Mo Ge is, if it is a duel, he definitely is not Yu Heng’s match. However,” Ji Li Yu’s eyes flashed, “they probably will compete in war chess. What Xiao Mo Ge disparaged was Yu Heng’s skill as a battle general. If Yu Heng wants to wash this shame away, he must respond in this area. The only thing that can realize the two of them fighting is naturally war chess.”

  “Is Xiao Mo Ge also a powerful battle general?” Ji Cheng’s mouth was wide, his face disbelieving.

  “Most likely!” Ji Li Yu said to herself, “Since he dares to make the challenge, then he definitely would have some chance of victory. Yu Heng is a gold battle general. To have a chance of victory, he can only be … …”

  “A gold battle general!” Ji Cheng exclaimed. He felt his brain wasn’t enough to use

  Killing twenty six in a row, reconstructing a prison, all of this showed Xiao Mo Ge’s powerful individual strength. With Xiao Mo Ge’s age, it was enough to shock Ji Cheng. Now his Old Sis was telling him that Xiao Mo Ge was also a golden battle general!

  It was too crazy … … too crazy �
�� …

  “Impossible! Impossible!” Ji Cheng unconsciously murmured. He felt his brain was short-circuiting. How was it possible? It was absurd! A guy of the same age as him that not only possessed great individual power, but was also a golden battle general. Was the world crazy? Had golden battle generals become lettuce selling on the market?

  His mind was ringing. But Old Sis’ tone was so confident that he believed it. Every time Old Sis used this tone to give a arrive at a conclusion, then the result of this matter basically would not change too much. From young until now, it had always been so!

  How was it possible … …

  Ji Cheng suddenly felt a deep blow. His heart felt bitter. Compared to Xiao Mo Ge, he felt he was like a pig. The difference between them was so great that he could not gather the courage to compare the two of them.

  Ji Li Yu noticed her younger brother’s expression. She paused slightly and then understood. She lightly said, “I feel that many people were wrong from the start.”

  “Wrong about what?” Ji Cheng’s face was puzzled.

  “Xiao Mo Ge’s identity is still a riddle. Many people assume that he is from a poor background and has no foundation.” Ji Li Yu shook her head and said, “Looking at it now, this speculation is absurdly incorrect. Xiao Mo Ge isn’t from a poor background and his origins are definitely not simple. He may even have a very important background!”

  “Why?” Ji Cheng had not refused from his shock.

  “It is possible to be from a poor background and still have powerful yao arts, but if he is a powerful battle general, how can he of humble birth? Xiao Mo Ge either is from a prestigious family background, or he has a famed teacher!” Ji Li Yu explained.

  “Right.” Ji Cheng realized.

  “The other’s birth might be even higher than our Ji Family, and have a deeper history!” Ji Li Yu said.

  Ji Cheng’s grey face finally recovered some blood. Thinking about it this way, he felt much better.

  “I really anticipate this!”
