“Ahh…”
Constantine the Second grabbed the arrow at the fastest speed, but this sharp arrow still pierced into his eyeball.
A miserable cry, and he directly collapsed to the ground.
The arrowhead was poisoned. After being struck by the arrow, Constantine the Second rolled on the ground madly, screaming desperately.
His martial arts were not even as good as Du Yan’s, only around the level of a third-rank Great Demon Warrior. Logically speaking, with Lanling’s bloodline critical strike power, killing him should not be a problem.
But…
The strength of his arms could advance by leaps and bounds, but the bow could not.
What currently affected the killing power of Lanling’s archery was no longer his strength, but rather the limitations of the bow itself.
According to his bloodline power critical strike, Lanling could already draw a bow of six thousand jin.
But at the Ghost Market, Lanling could not buy a bow this powerful.
First, the barbaric world lacked sufficiently elastic and tough steel. The strongest available was merely an iron bow.
Second, he could not find a bowstring with such high toughness.
The bow in Lanling’s hand was already the best available at the Ghost Market, and it was merely of one thousand nine hundred jin strength.
…
At this moment, Constantine’s original wife stood naked on the ground, completely ignoring her son’s miserable screams.
Why did Lanling release Constantine’s original wife Gou Li?
This was not some perverse amusement, nor was it nurturing a tiger to invite calamity. It was for the sake of the second wife Sisi.
If he captured Gou Li alone, yet released the second wife Sisi back, this would obviously arouse suspicion.
But the second wife Sisi absolutely had to be released back. Only when this venomous snake was inside the enemy’s ranks could she play a tremendous role.
The morning sun shone upon Gou Li’s mature and alluring body.
Scratch marks everywhere, bite marks everywhere. Her entire body was in complete disarray.
Countless gazes fell upon her body.
Her pain had almost exceeded the limit. She felt that this place was the eighteenth level of hell.
The countless gazes directed at her were like countless sharp arrows, piercing her heart with ten thousand arrows.
Endless humiliation and shame gradually restored the chieftainess Gou Li’s consciousness.
“Kill me, you beast, kill me…” Gou Li said mournfully.
Lanling stared at her, and said coldly: “Wanting to die is very simple. End it yourself.”
“I will not let you go. My husband will not let you go. He will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces, ten thousand pieces…” Gou Li roared fiercely.
“I am waiting for him…” Lanling said.
Then, he waved his hand, and said loudly: “Let’s go!”
“Hoo, hoo, hoo…”
Then, he led the over a thousand riders galloping madly towards the northwest direction.
Their destination was the Ghost Domain World, but they had to take a detour of over three hundred li.
“People of the Chimera Tribe, listen well. I will come back again!”
Lanling roared loudly.
Then, countless people of the Chimera Tribe watched him leading the cavalry running farther and farther away, finally disappearing into the dust, disappearing into the jungle.
At this moment in the Chimera Tribe, the chieftainess Gou Li was living a life worse than death. Constantine the Second was rolling on the ground, screaming miserably. They were already leaderless.
Yang Gu said loudly: “Griffin riders, dispatch five griffin riders to monitor their movements from the air. See where they ultimately go. When the chieftain returns, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, we must tear them into ten thousand pieces!”
“Understood!”
Immediately, five griffins of the Chimera Tribe flew into the sky, catching up to Lanling’s cavalry.
…
Lanling led the over a thousand riders galloping swiftly across the wilderness, heading along the northwest direction towards the Ghost Domain World.
At this moment, they were already over a hundred li away from the Chimera Tribe.
And in the air, five griffins were always closely following overhead, constantly staring at Lanling’s over a thousand riders on the ground. There was no way to shake them off.
Di Na stepped forward and said: “Lanling, what should we do?”
Lanling looked up at the sky. These griffins of the Chimera Tribe were flying very high. Wanting to shoot them with arrows was impossible.
If they kept following like this, then Lanling and the others’ whereabouts would have no secrecy whatsoever.
“Hehe…” Lanling said towards Duo Duo of the Mustang Tribe: “Chieftain Duo Duo, lend me your griffin for a use.”
Duo Duo said: “One thousand gold coins per use.”
“No problem.” Lanling said.
Duo Duo said: “Thirty li ahead.”
Lanling led the over a thousand riders to continue advancing swiftly. An hour later, they arrived at Duo Duo’s designated location.
Duo Ning was waiting here. Beside her stood a tall griffin.
Upon seeing Lanling, she glared fiercely at him.
Duo Duo’s Mustang Tribe had been destroyed. Originally they had nineteen griffins. Now only three remained. And the one beside Duo Ning was the most robust and also the fastest. There was also a tuft of golden fur on its head.
The golden-maned griffin was called the Royal Griffin Beast in human kingdoms. It was the strongest breed among griffins.
Lanling leapt down from his warhorse, coming before this golden-maned griffin.
Duo Ning watched coldly from the side. Her golden-maned griffin had been raised by her since childhood. It only listened to her alone, and only allowed her alone to ride it. If anyone else dared to touch it, they would definitely be torn into meat slices.
So, she was just waiting for Lanling to be torn all over with blood.
Sure enough, as soon as Lanling approached, the fur on this golden-maned griffin beast’s neck abruptly stood up. Its eyes were filled with fierce energy. Its sharp claws extended, about to tear Lanling into pieces.
However…
Lanling abruptly released that mysterious energy aura within his body. One did not know whether to call it a divine dragon aura or a demon aura.
In any case, it was incomparably mysterious and distant.
This powerful and mysterious force aura immediately awakened the ancient memories within the griffin beast’s body. The one that had just been incomparably ferocious abruptly trembled, then knelt and crawled on the ground, lowering its proud head, allowing Lanling to ride upon its body.
Duo Ning was instantly stunned. Her golden-maned griffin was one that no one could ride, no one could approach.
Yet at this moment, it was so docile and obedient, allowing Lanling to mount it.
Lanling smiled and said: “I am riding a griffin, not riding you. You don’t need to be so indignant.”
Upon these words, Duo Ning immediately ground her teeth to pieces, wishing she could tear this bastard into ten thousand pieces.
“Rise…” Lanling abruptly pulled up.
This griffin beast immediately flapped its wings and soared high, rapidly ascending into the sky!
At this moment, the five griffin riders of the Chimera Tribe, seeing Lanling’s griffin ascend into the sky, were immediately startled.
After a brief hesitation, they still pressed forward.
They felt that this was in the air, not on land. This was the home turf of their professional griffin warriors.
They only needed to kill Lanling’s griffin beast, and he would fall from several thousand metres in the air, smashing to death.
Once they killed Lanling, this would be a great merit.
Therefore, these griffin riders of the Chimera Tribe not only did not retreat, but instead surrounded Lanling.
Above, below, left, right, a three-dimensional formation encirclement.
And Lanling neither dodged nor avoided, allowing himself to be surrounded.
In a short time, the five griffin beasts of the Chimera Tribe completed an all-directional encirclement of Lanling, then began to shrink the encirclement.
The distance grew closer and closer, closer and closer, finally closing to three hundred metres.
“Kill…”
The five griffin riders of the Chimera Tribe let out a great roar, then took out large bows and shot one after another.
Their target was the griffin beneath Lanling, not Lanling himself.
They were flying at high speed in the air. They had no confidence in being able to hit Lanling. But a target as large as the golden-maned griffin beast, they could still hit.
This was five thousand metres in the air. As long as they hit the griffin beast, Lanling would fall and become a puddle of meat paste.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…”
Five arrows shot towards the golden-maned griffin beneath Lanling.
“Gaga ga…” This golden-maned griffin beast let out a huge sound.
It was truly formidable, actually able to sense danger.
“I know, rest assured…” Lanling said.
Bow bent, arrows nocked, over a dozen rapid-fire arrows.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…”
The arrows Lanling shot effortlessly knocked all five incoming arrows aside.
The five griffin riders of the Chimera Tribe were completely stunned. This, this was possible?
This was flying at high altitude! Lanling’s arrows could actually simultaneously hit five rapidly moving targets. And these were five rapidly flying arrows, with such small targets!
Little did they know that, for Lanling, this was completely not worth mentioning.
That’s right, this was in the air, and at high speed.
But once he used his spiritual energy, in the perception world time slowed down twentyfold, thirtyfold.
Everything became slow. And whether it was the five arrows or the griffin beasts’ flight trajectories, they were all fixed.
The difficulty of calculation was not high at all.
Seeing Lanling’s heaven-defying, miraculous archery, these five griffin riders of the Chimera Tribe were greatly startled, immediately preparing to turn and flee.
But wanting to run at this time? How could it be that simple?
Lanling bent his bow and nocked his arrows, rapidly shooting out over a dozen rapid-fire arrows.
“Puchi puchi…”
Of the five griffin warriors of the Chimera Tribe, four were all struck in the throat by arrows. With a miserable cry, they fell from the air.
Only one person remained alive. However, the reason he remained alive was because Lanling let him live.
The griffin beasts that lost their masters immediately flew away in all directions.
These were precious griffin beasts. How could Lanling bear to let them escape?
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh…”
Lanling shot four arrows, directly hitting the wings of the four griffin beasts.
Injuring them so they could not fly, yet not killing them.
These four griffin beasts let out a miserable cry, then desperately flapped their wings, falling from the air.
This precise arrow wound could make them unable to fly, yet not cause them to fall to their deaths. They could make a difficult landing.
The remaining griffin rider of the Chimera Tribe fled desperately, but his griffin was not as fast as the golden-maned griffin beneath Lanling. Within a few short minutes, he was caught up to.
Lanling controlled the golden-maned griffin to come above the opponent, then leapt down, directly jumping onto the griffin beast of the Chimera Tribe, coming to the surviving griffin rider.
“What are you doing? What are you doing?” This griffin rider of the Chimera Tribe was almost scared to wet himself.
“Nothing much. Just borrowing you for a use.” Lanling smiled. Then he controlled the griffin beast to descend!
…
Returning to the ground, the foreign army burst into cheers.
Not only had they escaped with their lives, but they had also captured five griffin beasts. From now on, they too had griffins.
The four griffin beasts had injured wings and landed on the ground, surrounded by the foreign army members. But they were very ferocious, attacking with claws and wings, constantly letting out threatening roars from their mouths.
Lanling rode the golden-maned griffin slowly descending, approaching these injured griffin beasts.
“Aoo…” Lanling abruptly let out a dragon roar.
Immediately, the four injured griffin beasts that had been attacking madly quieted down, lying prostrate on the ground.
Lanling stepped forward, pulling out the arrows from their wings, then applying healing medicine.
“Four centurions, come here and mount them. Ride them like warhorses. Do not fly!” Lanling said.
“Understood!” Immediately, four centurions came over excitedly, mounting these four injured griffin beasts.
These four griffin beasts still wanted to bristle and attack, but once suppressed by Lanling’s mysterious energy aura, they immediately docilely lay down.
“How do we deal with this captive?” Di Na asked.
The sole surviving griffin warrior was sitting on the ground at this moment, trembling all over, not knowing what kind of tragic fate he would face.
Lanling leapt down from the golden-maned griffin, and said towards Duo Ning: “Returning it to you.”
Then, he came before the Chimera griffin rider, and said: “Look into my eyes.”
The surviving griffin warrior of the Chimera Tribe instinctively looked up, gazing into Lanling’s eyes.
Immediately, Lanling’s eyes released powerful bewitchment energy. Once one looked at them, it was as if entering a brilliant starry universe, constantly sinking and becoming mesmerised.
Very quickly, his body and mind were completely captured, his consciousness completely lost, as if hypnotised.
“I want you to write a letter back, using your griffin riders’ special cipher.” Lanling said.
“Yes, I will write a letter back to the tribe, using the special cipher.” That griffin rider said. Then he took out a charcoal pencil and a thin roll of sheepskin paper.
“Write: Lanling’s target is the Mustang Tribe.” Lanling said.
“I write, Lanling’s target is the Mustang Tribe.” This griffin rider, as if hypnotised, wrote this line with the charcoal pencil on the sheepskin paper.
Lanling had overestimated the barbaric world’s intelligence. There was no cipher at all.
However, at the final signature, there was a special cipher symbol indicating the identity of the letter writer.
Lanling said: “Then, you send this secret letter back to the Chimera Tribe.”
The surviving griffin rider said: “I send this secret letter back to the Chimera Tribe.”
Then, he actually unfastened a delicate birdcage from his waist, took out a flying falcon from inside, rolled the sheepskin secret letter into a scroll, and stuffed it into the message tube at the flying falcon’s feet.
Finally, he spoke a simple yet special password into this flying falcon’s ear, then took out a piece of meat and fed it to eat.
After eating, this flying falcon flapped its wings and flew into the sky, heading in the direction of the Chimera Tribe.
After waking up, this surviving griffin warrior realised what he had done, and immediately let out a scream: “What did you do to me? The chieftain will kill me. He will kill my entire family.”
Lanling gently patted his neck, directly causing him to faint.
“Let’s go, continue advancing.” Lanling ordered.
Immediately, the over a thousand riders, plus six griffins, continued galloping towards the direction of the Ghost Domain World.
After deceiving the Chimera Tribe, there was no need to worry about being surrounded and intercepted by Constantine’s main army.
…
An hour later, within the Chimera Tribe.
Constantine the Second was rolling in ** from pain. Lanling’s arrow was poisoned. Although he had not died, he was living a life worse than death.
Yang Gu received the griffin rider’s secret letter, and said: “The griffin rider monitoring Lanling has sent a letter. Lanling has led the foreign army towards the Mustang Tribe.”
“The Mustang Tribe is already destroyed.” Constantine the Second said.
Yang Gu said: “Alfonso took away the main army. Now the Mustang Tribe is also very empty. Lanling and Duo Duo want to lead the foreign army to recapture the Mustang Tribe as their stronghold.”
“I don’t care, I don’t care… It hurts me to death.” Constantine the Second said: “You go tell my father. Hurry, hurry…”
At this moment his head hurt so much it was almost splitting open. He truly wished he could take an axe and split his head in half. He had no energy to deal with these matters.
…
At the same time, within Constantine’s main camp!
The great battle between the Chimera Tribe and the Ankara Tribe had temporarily ended. Both sides had suffered two to three thousand casualties.
And those hundreds of thousands of gold coins had been snatched clean by the over ten thousand soldiers.
The hearts of both Constantine and Alfonso were bleeding.
The two sides had fought a battle for no apparent reason, suffering two to three thousand casualties for no reason. In the end, all the gold coins had been snatched away.
Unless the two chieftains could swallow their pride and order all tribal soldiers to hand over the snatched gold coins.
Constantine was licking his wounds in his tent.
“Where is Lanling? Has he been captured? Bring him here, bring him here. I will tear him into ten thousand pieces, ten thousand pieces…” Constantine roared desperately.
At this moment, a griffin warrior descended from the air. After landing, he immediately said loudly: “I must see the chieftain. Extremely urgent, extremely urgent!”
“What are you making such a racket for?” Constantine roared loudly: “Come in, come in…”
That griffin warrior rushed into the tent and knelt down, saying in a trembling voice: “Chieftain, something terrible has happened. Lanling has led the foreign army in rebellion. He has seized nearly two thousand of our warhorses, killed several thousand of our tribal subjects, and several hundred soldiers. He has already escaped from the tribe, and his whereabouts are unknown.”
Upon these words, Constantine only felt a thunderous roar in his ears.
But the matter did not end there.
The griffin rider continued to report: “He… he also raped your wife, and in front of everyone, humiliated her! And, he also shot blind one of the young chieftain’s eyes!”
Instantly, Chieftain Constantine only felt the heavens and earth spinning before his eyes, his vision going dark.
“Pff!” A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he directly fainted and collapsed to the ground!
