Chapter 1124: Guo Jia's Literary Talent (Thanks to 'Gu Hun Ye Gui Xun Mei Ren' for the generous support!)
October 3rd, 2017
Undoubtedly, the middle-aged scholar had completely blundered this time.
His biggest mistake in this battle was not accounting for Guo Jia, and it's not his fault. If anyone is to blame, it's Guo Jia for suddenly advancing, and his advancement was of the silent, unnoticed kind.
It happened right within Lingzhi City, right under their noses, yet the middle-aged scholar and his companions had no inkling of it.
If that was all, it might have been forgivable, but what was truly outrageous was the talent that awakened within Guo Jia, which was utterly monstrous.
Oracle Insight (Unique): A special active literary talent. Once activated, it allows one to clearly understand the direction of events one wishes to know about for the next five days, and even influence reality to a certain extent.
Cooldown: Half a year! (Can be reduced!)
This is Guo Jia's attribute, or rather, this is the more reliable cheat ability that Guo Jia has obtained through his recent top-up.
This talent is like an advanced version of Xun You's Unerring Calculation, and it's the kind that defies all logic.
At least Xun You's Unerring Calculation requires time and clues to make deductions, but this guy, as soon as he activates his skill, can know everything that will happen next, and even influence reality to some degree.
What does it mean to influence reality? It means that when the course of events doesn't align with Guo Jia's expectations, he can alter them, steering them in the direction he desires.
What is this? A literary talent? Nonsense! This is a cheat, a crazily overpowered cheat!
Once this cheat is activated, there's no point in others even trying. The middle-aged scholar's flashy and flamboyant strategies were all for naught. He thought he was playing brilliantly and enjoying himself, even believing he had the absolute upper hand. But he had no idea that, in Guo Jia's eyes, it was all a joke.
From the very beginning, Guo Jia had known everything, even the chaos and randomness that the middle-aged scholar's strategies relied on were within Guo Jia's control. Under these circumstances, the middle-aged scholar's defeat was sealed from the start of the battle, no matter how hard he struggled.
A single skill had played with the middle-aged scholar and his two million-strong army like a toy, revealing just how monstrous Guo Jia's newly acquired talent was.
Of course, while Guo Jia's cheat ability was overpowered, it wasn't impossible to counter if one knew his talent attributes. Unfortunately, the middle-aged scholar had no such chance, as he was unaware of Guo Jia's cheat, let alone his presence among Lu Hai Kong's forces.
However, the middle-aged scholar wasn't so dull-witted that his IQ had turned negative. When he waited for half a day without getting the results he desired, he knew he had lost this battle, and not just lost, but suffered a crushing defeat.
Although this sudden defeat left him bewildered, and he didn't even know who his opponent was, the middle-aged scholar had weathered many storms in his life. While he hadn't experienced many failures, he had encountered them before and wouldn't sink into despair because of this one.
He just felt that his defeat was somewhat humiliating and inexplicably frustrating.
He had been dueling with Xun You, and after using all his tricks and playing all his cards, his opponent suddenly revealed that his opponent wasn't just Xun You, there were others on his side. That feeling was truly suffocating.
"Oh well, victory and defeat are common in warfare. It's just a loss, not an unbearable defeat. I just hope that Brother Du's side can succeed. If they can capture Lu Hai Kong, then even though we lost this battle, it won't be a devastating loss."
The middle-aged scholar sighed lightly, glancing down at the Black Gale Legion below him, then turning to look at the raging fire engulfing the county town behind him. He shook his head, and the crimson aura around him stirred, a clear indication that he was planning to flee.
However, just as the crimson aura around the scholar began to surge, before he could even make a move, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. It was a figure in white, like a celestial being.
Although this figure was beautiful, each time she appeared, bloodshed followed. And this time, the blood-red flowers that bloomed were from the Blood Demons guarding the scholar.
As those blood-red flowers blossomed, she not only appeared behind the scholar, but her dagger in hand also plunged without hesitation into his back!
Moon Shadow had no intention of capturing the scholar alive. Her first move was a killing strike, as Xun You had instructed her not to leave any survivors.
It wasn't that Xun You and his men didn't want captives; they were concerned that if they showed mercy, the scholar would escape.
Although Moon Shadow had easily succeeded, when the blade pierced the scholar's back, her eyebrows furrowed, sensing something amiss. Her intuition proved right as the thin mist around the figure in front of her dissipated instantly, revealing a zombie.
Indeed, it wasn't easy to kill the middle-aged scholar. He was extremely cautious, always prepared with a decoy to take the blow.
However, if the scholar thought he could escape with this trick, he was being too naive.

Moon Shadow seemed unsurprised by this turn of events. She vanished in a flash and reappeared within the county town, casually plunging her blade into the back of a fallen zombie.
As she stabbed, the zombie attempted to dodge, but its movement was too slow, and it was still pierced.
It was clear that this was the scholar himself. Understanding this, Moon Shadow acted decisively without hesitation, nearly beheading the scholar in an instant, completely eliminating him.
Almost the moment the scholar fell, the two hundred thousand zombies within the county town, which had maintained some order, instantly collapsed.
It seemed that the scholar was truly dead this time, and the battle on this side was about to conclude.
As long as Xun You and Guo Jia could finish the cleanup, this side would be completely resolved.
There was no doubt about this; after all, from the beginning, the battle had been under Guo Jia's control. There was no way they could fail. Now, with Lu Hai Kong taken care of, this foreign invasion would be entirely over.
