This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick! Chapter 157 – Chapter 157: Chapter 123 Possession! Tao Foundation Clone_2

Chapter 157: Chapter 123 Possession! Tao Foundation Clone_2

After breaking through to the Possession Stage, his magic became even stronger, and the bandits on the scene immediately quieted down and earnestly continued to move forward.

“Report! The City Guard Army has been spotted!”

The scout at the forefront sent back news.

“Good, kill our way over!”

Zhao Yu's spirits lifted, and he immediately gave the order.

For his Tao Foundation clone to continue growing stronger, it needed to merge with more Implants, but other Implants, unlike the “Corpse Cluster,” couldn't grow on corpses, so he had to choose mature Implants from strong individuals to merge with.

As a result, clones refined from the “Corpse Cluster” could only follow the path of cultivating the Demon Path.

This was why Zhao Yu targeted the City Guard Army; he needed a large number of strong bodies, whether alive or dead!

Soon, the City Guard Army, led by Wei Ge, appeared in front of Zhao Yu's group.

The two armies confronted each other on a main artery in the Kaiping District.

This main artery was twenty meters wide, sufficient for a dozen horses to ride abreast, well-suited for cavalry charges!

The City Guard Army also had cavalry. The reason they didn't use cavalry when they went to the Wuguang District was that the streets were too narrow and not fit for cavalry charges.

Gu Zhenhui had Wei Ge bring all the forces of the City Guard Army to the Kaiping District, so naturally, Wei Ge brought the cavalry as well.

Now, including himself, more than fifty cavalry appeared at the forefront of the formation, both men and horses in armor!

To maintain fifty cavalry to the standard of the Da Lan Dynasty's Iron Cavalry was far more expensive than what the bandits could afford for maintaining hundreds of horses.

The bandits' horses were far inferior to the Da Lan Dynasty's standard warhorses in terms of height, stamina, and explosive power.

Moreover, the iron armor on the men and horses was something the bandits lacked.

And amongst the City Guard Army's fifty or so Iron Cavalry, everyone was either a Martial Artist or a martial master, the force they exuded was astonishing!

So when the two sides' cavalry confronted each other on the main road, the bandits instantly panicked.

Even under the influence of magic, these bandits were not long-term brainwashed devoted believers; if Zhao Yu dared to order them to charge against those ironclad cavalry in front, there could be an immediate mutiny!

“Kill—”

Mounted on a warhorse and clad in full armor, Wei Ge took the lead, bellowing as he charged forward.

His mount was no ordinary warhorse but a Second Grade Exotic Beast—the Green Shadow Horse!

This was a Wind Attribute mutant Exotic Beast whose full power burst of speed competed with a speed-type martial master!

However, the cultivation of such a beast was extremely difficult, and the costs were high, so their numbers were always limited. The entire City Guard Army of Xing City had only three Green Shadow Horses.

Wei Ge, riding the Green Shadow Horse, dragging his Giant Blade with one hand, became a swift wind, leading the charge against the bandits at the forefront.

The bandits, after all, had guns, so he intended to charge forward first, using his Extraordinary Ability to ‘disarm' them all.

Just as he had covered half the distance, a black shadow leaped high from the bandits' formation, landing at the front of the group.

Afterward, the shadow directly clashed with Wei Ge in a charge.

“Seeking death!”

Murderous intent surged in Wei Ge's eyes; he stimulated the Green Shadow Horse with a touch of Innate Qi, and the horse's speed instantly increased, pulling a residual image on the road despite bearing hundreds of pounds.

On the other side, the figure shrouded in a black robe unleashed a Red Qilin Force at Wei Ge, a dark red Red Snake making a sharp breaking sound as it collided with the charging Wei Ge.

“Wang Ping?!”

Wei Ge recognized the Red Qilin Force, somewhat astonished.

Without time to think further, he swung his Giant Blade with the Earth Magnetic Force attached to it, the dark light cleaving the Red Snake.

Boom—

A loud explosion, the Red Snake was sliced apart, bursting into a cloud of red gas on the street.

And riding the Green Shadow Horse, Wei Ge was thrown off along with his mount!

“Sir!”

A shout of alarm came from the City Guard Army at the back.

Wei Ge, already at the Peak of the Qi Change Stage, had even stronger combat power on the Green Shadow Horse, yet he was blown away by a single strike?!

“Tao Foundation Stage?!”

Wei Ge, knocked off his horse, stared at the figure in the black robe ahead, his face full of shock.

He glanced at the Green Shadow Horse lying not far away. After twitching a few times, the Second Grade beast breathed its last!

This scene caused a stir among the City Guard Army.

“All forces, charge!”

Wei Ge suddenly issued the command.

A resolute man, he knew today's battle was unavoidable regardless of facing a Tao Foundation Stage strongman, and the City Guard Army could only charge!

The City Guard Army, counting Wei Ge, had three Refining Strength martial masters, seven martial masters, and eighty-three Martial Artists.

Such a force, on top of the cavalry charge, might just be able to clash with a Tao Foundation Stage strongman!

As Wei Ge gave the order, over fifty Iron Cavalry charged forth at once.

The ground began to shake, an astonishing aura of killing intent surged forward like towering waves!

The bandits on horseback stirred into chaos, with some even frightened off their mounts, tumbling to the ground.

Zhao Yu's face changed as well, and he immediately turned to a man beside him, saying,

“We must block this Iron Cavalry, otherwise, our formation will collapse!”

The man didn't speak but stepped out to meet the charging Iron Cavalry head-on.

This man was the very Refining Strength Martial Master who had exchanged blows with Qi Zhongfa earlier, and his technique was Flame Burst.

As he dashed forward, another dozen people charged out as well.

These individuals were experts arranged by Yu Hu for Zhao Yu, including one Refining Strength Martial Master, five martial masters, and twelve Body Breaking Stage Martial Artists.

Moreover, these experts had never before appeared within Xing City's territories according to the intelligence records.

“You two go as well,” Zhao Yu turned to the two robed figures that had been following him and said.

“Yes,” one of the robed figures nodded and charged forward, his entire body enveloped in a dark force.

This was Mysterious Stele Power, practiced by one of the four registered martial masters who were captured.

The registered martial master had died, but the Implant inside him had been transferred to this Calming Sect warrior, turning him into a Devilish Martial Master.

When Zhao Yu retreated, he took nine Body Breaking Stage warriors with him, but now only two had survived, becoming Devilish Martial Masters.

Such was the success rate of creating Devilish Martial Masters.

After dispatching a Qi Change Middle Stage Devilish Martial Master, Zhao Yu kept one Devilish Martial Master as his guard.

After all, he was not a Martial Artist, and even though he was now a Great Mage, he would still be in danger if a martial master got too close.

“Prepare for a combined casting!” Zhao Yu suddenly commanded.

He then began to chant loudly, a strong wave of magic fluctuations emanating from him.

Simultaneously, six Calming Sect magicians in the troop joined in the chanting.

Zhao Yu had already constructed the necessary magic array; they only needed to pour their spiritual power into it to enhance the magic's potency.

In just three seconds, the spell was complete.

Zhao Yu pointed forward, and a purple-black ring of light exploded among the ranks of charging Iron Cavalry!

After being swept by the ring of light, both man and horse alike fell into a profound drowsiness.

This magic was the Calming Sect's signature Magic, the Calming Technique.

Martial Artists have robust Qi-Blood, making them resistant to magic, so Zhao Yu did not expect the spell to have much impact on the warriors and martial masters.

His real target was the warhorses!

Boom—

Boom—

A few charging warhorses knelt down on the spot, flinging the City Guard Army soldiers on their backs outward.

These suddenly colliding warhorses instantly disrupted the charging formation, causing a chain reaction where more warhorses fell.

The cavalry that was once as unstoppable as a torrent suddenly became a disordered mass.

Seizing this moment, Zhao Yu directed his Tao Foundation avatar to kill his way in!

…

Qingyuan Fist Village.

Shangguan Xiao had received word that the bandits who entered the city had gone to Kaiping District, and most of the City Guard Army was there too.

“Let's move!” she said.

She had gathered all of the elite forces of the Fist Village, distributed weapons and equipment, and now with her command, led everyone out of the village.

“Big Leader, what about your disciple?” Xiang Du came over and asked Shangguan Xiao in a low voice.

“Don't worry about him,” Shangguan Xiao said confidently.

No sooner had the Qingyuan Fist Village forces rushed out of the village than Yu Hu, leading the forces of the Tiger Saber Gang, also set out.

Not only that, but Yan Yichen, the Chief of Zhi Ge Court with the court's elites, all deployed as well.

Xing City, a war cloud was gathering!
