The chieftain of the Wild Horse Tribe was different from Constantine.
Therefore, his daughter was also different from Constantine’s daughter.
Though Ninian’s martial arts were not bad, her primary task was beauty and fame, attracting the admiration of countless young talents.
The chieftain of the Wild Horse Tribe’s daughter, however, had the primary task of practising martial arts, the stronger the better.
Thus, her martial arts were extremely, extremely strong. At the very least, she was far stronger than Lanling at this moment.
Originally, as the chieftain’s daughter, especially as a woman, she should not have charged directly at the very front like this. But now, she had no other choice.
Berserkers were incredibly precious in the Wild Horse Tribe. They were an absolute trump card, an ace in the hole. Each berserker could fight ten, or even dozens, alone. They were an almost invincible existence.
Yet now, this most elite and precious force was being frenziedly massacred by Lanling.
With every berserker that died, the heart of this Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter bled.
She wore serpent skin armour and a helmet, charging over like a black female panther, fast as lightning.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” Lanling’s rapid-fire arrows rained down like a torrent.
But…
Without exception, all were deflected. Some were even pushed aside by the protective qi upon her body’s surface.
This was the helplessness of Lanling’s archery. When encountering a true expert, the killing power of arrows became extremely limited, because they could never break through the defence.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” Lanling shot at her again in a burst, but still, all were deflected!
This chieftain’s daughter, her eyes red, stared fixedly at Lanling, “I will definitely kill you, this monster!”
The distance between the two was merely about a hundred metres. To this woman, this bit of distance was traversed in an instant.
Suomo was entangled by the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain and three great generals. He could not break free.
Du Yan was entangled by the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s son. He could not break free. Of course, he wished for Lanling’s death with all his heart. It was utterly impossible for him to come to the rescue.
Burning with anxiety, Suomo let out a fierce roar. He had to save Lanling, no matter the cost.
Then, his eyes instantly turned blood red. Dense scales rapidly grew all over his body.
One could not tell what kind of scales they were. They seemed like the markings of marble, yet also seemed like the patterns of some unknown magical beast.
Not only that, his figure suddenly swelled, instantly becoming over two metres tall.
Moreover, two sharp horns abruptly grew from the top of his head.
Suomo’s entire person had completely transformed into a huge, terrifying demon!
Constantine watched this scene in astonishment, sighing, “How many years has it been? How many years since Suomo last demonised? Now, to save his nephew, he has finally demonised once more.”
After demonisation, Suomo was incomparably terrifying!
He completely abandoned defence, erupting with the power of his bloodline, attacking frenziedly.
He completely allowed the four opponents’ war blades to hack at his body.
“Bang, bang, bang…” The four great experts of the Wild Horse Tribe hacked at Suomo frenziedly.
But wherever the huge war blades struck upon his body, it was as if they were hacking upon solid rock. Sparks flew, yet Suomo remained completely unharmed.
This appeared somewhat similar to the berserkers. But after demonisation, the hardness of Suomo’s body surface far exceeded that of the berserkers.
The power of these four great experts of the Wild Horse Tribe was astonishing. Had it been a berserker, they would have long been hacked into two pieces. Yet hacking at Suomo only left a faint mark.
“Bang…” Suddenly, a Wild Horse Tribe general’s war blade hacked at Suomo’s back, directly shattering.
“Roar…” Suomo let out a wild roar. The great sword in his hand slashed out like lightning.
That Wild Horse Tribe general swiftly dodged, but was swept into the air by a powerful force. Then he was pressed alive onto the ground, completely unable to move.
Then…
Suomo’s great sword easily cleaved him into two halves. Flesh and blood splattered.
After demonisation, whether in strength, speed, or defence, Suomo had received a massive increase.
He was truly like a war god from hell.
The four great experts of the Wild Horse Tribe had besieged him alone. Originally, they were evenly matched. But now, they were immediately at a disadvantage. Moreover, one of them had already been killed by him.
“Kill…” With a fierce roar, Suomo’s fist shot out like lightning towards a second opponent.
Instantly, the other Wild Horse Tribe general only felt a burst of pain before his eyes. He was oppressed by Suomo’s fist qi to the point of being unable to breathe, his face nearly deformed.
Then, he raised both hands, holding up his scimitar, slashing it towards Suomo’s fist, using the scimitar to block Suomo’s fist.
“Bang…” A shower of sparks flew. This Wild Horse Tribe member’s scimitar directly shattered.
A massive force passed through the scimitar, sweeping onto his arm.
“Bang…” His arm could not withstand such a powerful impact. It directly burst apart, blood splattering.
“Bang!” Next, Suomo’s fist struck his head like lightning.
This Wild Horse Tribe general’s head, still wearing a helmet, was directly blasted apart, exploding like a watermelon. He died a complete death.
Not only the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain, but everyone around them was utterly terrified.
This, was this still a person? This was completely a demon god-like existence.
Cold sweat burst out all over the chieftain’s body. He was extremely brave, fearless of death. Facing any opponent, he dared to charge forward.
But facing Suomo at this moment, he truly felt some fear.
This was fundamentally an invincible god of slaughter. This was fundamentally a demon god from hell.
“Chieftain, run…” The remaining expert shouted loudly. Then he grabbed the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s arm, fleeing frenziedly.
“Want to run? Not that easy.” Suomo let out a cold shout. The great sword in his hand slashed out fiercely through the air.
A startling blade qi abruptly struck that general’s back.
“Pfft…”
The body of that Wild Horse Tribe general flew out like a straw, blood spurting wildly.
Suomo, two to three metres tall, approached the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain.
His goal was simple. Capture the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain, save Lanling’s life.
Because once the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter saw that her father’s life was in Suomo’s hands, she would definitely not dare to kill Lanling.
…
However…
This chieftain’s daughter was too fast. She was too focused!
A hundred metres of distance, arrived in an instant!
Moreover, she was wholly concentrated on killing Lanling, paying no attention whatsoever to the surrounding situation. Thus, she also did not know that her father was in crisis.
“Whoosh…” She truly was like black lightning, instantly rushing before Lanling. The scimitar in her hand was like a bloody crescent moon, slashing towards Lanling’s neck at an astonishing speed.
At this moment, perhaps only one person could save Lanling. That was Constantine.
And he had no time to hesitate or think, because the time was too brief. He could only act upon instinct.
So… he did not act. He loathed Lanling this person!
Why did he loathe him?
Perhaps it was the energy aura upon his body. Perhaps it was because he was too handsome. Perhaps it was because he was too demonic and outstanding.
According to his inner instinct, Constantine did not want to save Lanling. Despite the other having rendered great service, he was still willing to see Lanling die.
So now, no one could save Lanling.
And the martial arts of this Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter were who knew how many times greater than Lanling’s.
“Shh…” Her scimitar truly was like a bolt of bloody lightning, sweeping towards his neck, reaching the extreme in speed.
Lanling gathered all his spiritual power, slowing down time in his perception world, even if time was slowed by tenfold, twentyfold.
But this blade was still fast. The wind it stirred up made Lanling completely unable to open his eyes.
Lanling completely ignored this scimitar that could take his life at any moment. He stared fixedly into his opponent’s eyes.
This chieftain’s daughter’s eyes were blood red at this moment. The proportion of her pupils within her eyes was still very large. Her pupils seemed unfathomably deep, filled with endless killing intent.
Lanling gathered all his spiritual power, like a needle, fiercely stabbing into the other’s eyes.
“Pop!”
A spiritual power critical strike!
This powerful spiritual power, through her eyes, fiercely drilled into her brain domain, fiercely exploding.
“Ahh…” The Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter let out a scream.
She only felt a flash of golden light before her eyes. Her mind was wracked with pain, completely blank.
In an instant, her brain completely lost control over her body.
Lanling’s spiritual power critical strike had taken effect in one blow.
Immediately after, he discovered this Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter’s formidable aspect, or rather, the heaven-defying aspect of high-ranking demons.
Her brain domain was already temporarily blank. She had completely lost control over her body. Had it been a human, they would have long been completely paralysed, falling to the ground.
But this Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter before him, her body actually relied on muscle memory, relied on combat instinct, to continue launching attacks.
However, whether in speed or precision, both were considerably lacking.
Lanling used all his strength, rapidly retreating.
But his speed was still too slow.
The Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter’s scimitar still easily slit open his throat, slit open his great artery, nearly severing half of Lanling’s neck.
Blood spurted out like a fountain.
“Little Ling…” Suomo in the distance saw this scene. Blood instantly filled his eyes. He let out a fierce roar. Then an incomparably ferocious punch directly smashed the expert beside the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain, along with three berserkers, into minced meat, their bodies pulverised.
Then, he fiercely grabbed the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain, about to rip him apart alive.
But… Lanling did not die.
Blood only spurted for less than a second.
Then, the wound on his neck rapidly healed. In merely two seconds, it was completely restored as before.
Had he not used the spiritual power critical strike, then right now his entire head would have been severed. Then he truly could never recover, dying on the spot!
After all, the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter had a blank brain domain, having lost control over her body. Although her momentum was still astonishing, the threat she posed to Lanling was greatly reduced.
Lanling rapidly retreated.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” Then, he shot arrows at her frenziedly.
But… still useless.
This woman, relying on combat instinct and muscle memory, could actually deflect every single one of Lanling’s arrows.
High-ranking demons were truly heaven-defying!
…
A few seconds later!
The Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter woke up. She felt her head splitting with pain.
Looking at Lanling again, she discovered he was still safe and sound.
She had actually failed to kill this monster!
This devil had actually used his eyes to launch an attack against her, and attacked her brain domain.
This was simply a monster!
Then, she clenched her teeth, enduring the pain in her brain domain, about to charge forward once more to kill Lanling.
But she quickly discovered that her father was being held in the hands of a demon god-like colossus, his life hanging by a thread.
“Father…” She immediately abandoned killing Lanling, charging towards Suomo at flying speed.
“Ning, don’t come over, don’t come over…” The Wild Horse Tribe chieftain saw his daughter charging towards Suomo, actually attempting to save him. His liver and gallbladder shattered, and he roared frantically.
Then, he pleaded, “Suomo, kill me if you must. But please spare my daughter, I beg you!”
The Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter quickly charged before Suomo. The scimitar in her hand hacked at his body frenziedly, charging forward recklessly, wanting to save her father.
Suomo allowed her to hack at him, yet remained completely unharmed.
Looking at the battlefield at this moment!
The Wild Horse Tribe had suffered countless casualties. Added to the chieftain being captured and several great generals all killed, their morale had fallen to the absolute bottom. Defeat was already certain.
Constantine shouted loudly, “Suomo, kill him. Bring me his head!”
Why did he not personally sever the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s head? Because he held himself in high esteem. He felt that from now on, he would be the master of this thousand-li land. Thus, other chieftains would all be a rank lower than him. Having a subordinate cut off the enemy chieftain’s head and present it would better highlight his supreme status.
Suomo made no sound.
And at this moment, the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter also quietened down, knowing that she could not harm Suomo at all, nor could she save her father.
Instantly, she threw down her scimitar, kneeling to the ground, crying, “Lord Suomo, I was the one who wounded your nephew. I am willing to die in exchange. I beg you to spare my father.”
Then, she picked up her scimitar, fiercely slashing it towards her own neck.
She was about to sever her own head alive, in exchange for her father’s life.
“No…” The Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s eyes nearly split open, letting out a tearing roar.
“Clang!” The Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter’s scimitar did not sever her own neck. Instead, it hacked at Suomo’s arm, as if hacking at an incomparably solid boulder.
Suomo had saved this girl’s life. He looked at the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain, then looked at his daughter.
“Suomo, did you hear me? I command you to kill him.” Constantine said furiously.
“Alas…” Suomo sighed, “Go.”
Then, he released his grip.
The Wild Horse Tribe chieftain fell to the ground.
Constantine raged, “Suomo, how dare you disobey orders?”
Suomo said, “Chieftain, this is a battle of contention, not a battle of conquest. I feel that a chieftain should not be killed in this manner.”
The Wild Horse Tribe chieftain looked at the battlefield littered with devastation, at the countless fallen tribal warriors. Tears suddenly streamed down his face.
He stood up, bowing respectfully towards Suomo. Then he helped his daughter up, loudly ordering, “Retreat!”
Instantly, the surviving Wild Horse Tribe warriors rapidly surged forward, protecting the chieftain and his daughter in the centre, then rapidly withdrawing.
At this moment, the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s son, who had already fought three hundred rounds with Du Yan, clenched his steel teeth, letting out a pained, great roar.
He was unwilling to retreat in defeat like this. But he had to withdraw.
Thus, he sheathed his scimitar, saying coldly to Du Yan, “One day, I will personally sever your head.”
With that, he turned and retreated, about to draw close to his father.
And at this moment…
“Shh…” Du Yan’s sharp sword was fast as lightning.
A bloodline power critical strike!
Through three hundred rounds of battle, Du Yan had not used a bloodline power critical strike. Now, as his opponent turned to retreat, he had actually used a bloodline power critical strike. Its power was incomparably astonishing.
The Wild Horse Tribe young chieftain used all his strength to block.
“Clink…” His war blade snapped.
“Shh…” Du Yan’s sword easily severed his head.
A column of blood shot to the sky. The Wild Horse Tribe young chieftain’s head directly flew into the air.
“You are despicable…” Before dying, three words came from his mouth.
“No…” Seeing his beloved son die a tragic death, the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain let out a miserable howl. Blood spurted from his mouth, and he completely fainted, collapsing to the ground!
Ninian watched this scene, her gaze fiery, “Father, shall we pursue, and exterminate the Wild Horse Tribe to the last?”
Constantine had calmed down at this moment, shaking his head, “No. That would only benefit the Ankara Tribe. Let them fight to the death.”
…
This great battle was over. It ended in merely less than half a day.
Constantine’s Chimera Tribe had won a great victory!
Of the Wild Horse Tribe’s ten thousand strong army, less than four thousand remained, covering the chieftain as he retreated in panic.
The entire battlefield began to be cleared!
Then, Constantine dispatched a team of deaf-mutes to the battlefield to tally the military merits by head count.
Mainly, they tallied enemies killed by arrows. As for those killed by blades and swords, those people would cut off the target’s right ear themselves.
In tribal warfare, every person’s bow and arrows had special markings. As long as one flipped over the corpse, whose arrow had killed them was clear at a glance.
A full four hours later.
The battlefield tally was complete!
Constantine had been waiting for this result. Because he had promised that whoever harvested the most head count merits, he would marry his daughter Ninian to him.
Of course, this was impossible. Whether Du Yan, Qiu Ju, or Yang Gu, in the end there would definitely be two people with identical military merits.
Now, he had also become curious about another number. That was Lanling’s military merits.
Because when the Wild Horse Tribe charged up the stockade wall, he had seen clearly. Lanling had carried out a massacre, killing at least over a hundred people.
However, his final head count should still be less than Du Yan’s. Because he had not been shooting for long before he was entangled by the Wild Horse Tribe chieftain’s daughter.
Of course, Du Yan had also been entangled by the Wild Horse Tribe young chieftain. But before that, whether in shooting or in killing with blades and swords, his head count was extremely high.
So, Du Yan’s final results exceeding Lanling should be no problem.
After all, at the start, Lanling had shot blindly into the sky. His accuracy was very, very low. He could not kill many people.
So now, what troubled Constantine was that he had to work hard to increase Qiu Ju’s head count merits, making them identical to Du Yan’s.
This way, his daughter would not truly have to be married off.
Finally, the head count merit statistics were delivered to Constantine. He was instantly stunned!
His entire body was trembling. His hands, gripping the beast hide scroll, were also trembling.
He stared at Lanling’s head count merit number, his eyes widening, nearly unable to breathe.
No words could describe the shock in his heart at this moment!
This, how was this possible?
