The Human Emperor (200-400)

C259: Battle of the Profound Martial

If the Goguryeon elites were unable to regroup, then no matter how numerous they were or how powerful they were individually, it would be impossible for them to stand against an entire army.

From the moment that Wang Chong charged through their formation for the second time and scattered their formation, the fate of the thousand Goguryeon elites were already sealed.

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat!"

Everyone fled chaotically as though birds scattering into the surroundings. No one wanted to retreat to the monastery; they would only be completely trapped then.

Boom!

On the other hand, Wang Chong's troops pursued the Goguryeons, who were marked by brilliant halos in the dark night.

——In truth, they could have posed a threat were they to retaliate. However, with their minds fixed on escaping, death only came faster for them.

【Congratulations to user for killing 836 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】

【Congratulations to user for killing 1111 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】

【Congratulations to user for killing 1112 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】

【Congratulations to user for killing 1257 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】

【Congratulations to user for killing 1258 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】

【Congratulations to user for killing 1259 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】

...

A whole bunch of notices cascaded down Wang Chong's head. His Bane of the Battlefield grew to a radius of more than ten thousand meters, and it continued to expand outward swiftly.

The adrenaline from having his strength growing rapidly left Wang Chong feeling exhilarated.

"Another seven hundred, and I would be able to reach level 2 for it!"

Wang Chong thought.

It was getting harder and harder to upgrade his halo the further he progressed. Initially, Wang Chong only had to kill a single foreign soldier to activate his halo.

But from level 0 to level 1, he had to kill one hundred soldiers, and each of these soldiers had to possess a cultivation realm of at least Origin Energy Tier 9. This was no easy task at all.

On the other hand, to reach level 2, Wang Chong would have to kill two thousand foreign soldiers!

At level 1, Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield was a destructive nerfing force against all martial artists of True Martial realm 1-dan and below.

However, its effects were limited against martial artists of True Martial realm 2-dan and above.

If Wang Chong wanted to strip the martial halo off a True Martial realm 2-dan expert, his Bane of the Battlefield would have to reach level 2 first.

Roar!

While Wang Chong was in the midst of contemplating on the back of his horse, a furious howl suddenly echoed from the monastery. A huge gust of wind swept into the surroundings, blowing a huge wave of tree leaves down the mountain.

"It's from the monastery. They are currently crossing blows with the Goguryeon heads!"

Miyasame Ayaka's voice whispered in his ear. The frenzied wind had left her night suit fluttering in the wind.
