C695 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada the Sparrow Is Here
However, the man opposite him seemed very calm in the face of a punch that brought along a whistling wind. He raised his hand and easily received Saltus's punch. With a ferocious expression on his face, he clenched the fist that Saltus had sent over. He twisted his fist in another direction.
Saltus's pupils constricted. Even though he was already a Fifth Stage, he still felt like he was powerless in front of this man.
Under the fiery light, the man's face was revealed, causing Saltus to be even more shocked. Initially, he thought that the man who subdued him was most likely an expert who had been famous for a long time. However, what he didn't expect was... The face reflected under the light of the fire was actually so young. Just by looking at his combo... He was probably only around twenty-five years old.
In fact, Saltus's guess was wrong. Yang Xuan had just finished a New Year. He was not even twenty years old yet. Who could have imagined that a person who wasn't even twenty years old would be... He actually had the strength close to the Mid Sixth Stage?
But the fact was that Yang Xuan had turned his palm into a blade and slashed at Saltus's neck. Saltus fainted on the spot. At this moment, Ning Ziwei appeared beside Yang Xuan. When he saw Yang Xuan's action, he asked curiously, "Mr Yang, what's wrong?"
"Hehe, Mr Ning."
Yang Xuan turned around and smiled mysteriously at Ning Ziwei. He said, "Look what I have caught. A big fish."
Yang Xuan grabbed Ning Ziwei's collar and lifted him up. Although Ning Ziwei had just returned to Profound Gate Pass not long ago, he had already fought several times with the soldiers led by Saltus. Naturally, he could recognize Saltus at a glance. Ning Ziwei's pupils suddenly shrunk when he saw Saltus's face. He said with some disbelief, "Isn't... Isn't this the General of Barbarian Clan?"
"That's right, that's the General."
Yang Xuan nodded and pointed at his clothes. "This guy wanted to escape in our army uniform, but I still found him. In fact, I threw out bait from the beginning, and my target was this person. "
After that, Yang Xuan told Ning Ziwei roughly what had happened.
On the battlefield below, although there was a huge difference in the number of soldiers on both sides, but because the Great Wei soldiers had heavy weapons like crossbows in their hands, and their leader was captured, as well as the sea of fire that Yang Xuan and Tan Lang had created, Barbarian Soldier had long been scared out of his wits. It had lost all will to fight. In the hands of the Great Wei soldiers who had just eaten a full meal in Falling Blade Cliff, they had actually fallen into a disadvantageous position just like that.
"Wonderful, Mr Yang. This scheme of yours is really good. I, Ning Ziwei, will never submit to anyone in my life. I will submit to you. What did he say again? It was used to describe your plan."
Ning Ziwei patted Yang Xuan on the shoulder and said to him," Brother, your military is huge this time. Remember to treat me to a drink later. "
"You mean the mantis stalks the cicada unaware of the oriole behind?"
Yang Xuan smiled faintly and said, "But I am both cicada and mantis." After saying that, Yang Xuan threw the half-dead Saltus in his hand to Ning Ziwei. He said, "I will leave it to you. You and General Greed can go and claim the credit together."
"This... This is a huge credit. Don't you want it?"
Ning Ziwei said with excitement. In this plan, Yang Xuan was the one who had contributed the most, although he didn't really do anything. However, everything was in his plan. As for Ning Ziwei and Tan Lang, they had only followed Yang Xuan and charged into the formation once.
"It doesn't matter. Military merits are no longer important to me. As for you, after Ning Zifeng left, the life of the Ning Family shouldn't be easy, right? With this military merits, your life in the Ning family will also be a little better."
As Yang Xuan spoke, he raised his head to look at the sky and muttered, "I hope that Ning Zifeng can also live a little better in the sky!"
Ning Ziwei was extremely excited when he heard that. He took Saltus in a flurry and said to Yang Xuan gratefully, "Thank you, Mr Yang. My brother will be very happy if he knows about it."
"Alright, let's not talk about pleasantries. You and General Tan Lang discussed for a while and then went back to the military camp alone with this huge contribution. The other person will stay here and watch the scene. After all, there are 20,000 people here, even if our soldiers break their hands... We might not be able to kill all of them, so you still need to get some reinforcements from the military camp."
"What about you?"
Hearing Yang Xuan's entrusting tone to him, Ning Ziwei could not help but raise his head and look at Yang Xuan in doubt.
Yang Xuan smiled and said to Ning Ziwei, "I need to go back to Lo Capital first. Next, we have a tough battle to fight. "
After saying that, Yang Xuan didn't stay any longer. He turned around and flew towards Lo Capital.
"What should we do? Have the leaders of the capital sent any news yet?"
A few hundred meters away from the battlefield between the Barbarian Army and the Great Wei soldiers, there were two black figures hiding in the grass. They were talking in low voices. Just now, when the two sides were fighting fiercely, the rolling wood that Yang Xuan smashed down from the hillside almost hit his head. It made them escape from the battle circle in a panic and come here.
The two of them were Kuan Shu's subordinates. Before Kuan Shu carried out his plan to attack the capital, Kuan Shu had once ordered his men to make a trip to the palace of Barbarian Clan and told Barbarian King about their plan. He also requested Barbarian King to join forces with them when they attacked Great Wei, and pressure Great Wei from outside Profound Gate Pass. The ghost cultivators' plan could be said to be ruthless. If their plan succeeded... Even if the Great Wei of the Profound Gate Pass could withstand the pressure of the Barbarian Clan's attack, it would still be impossible for them to turn around and provide support to the capital. Or lock down the border. Kuan Shu had also sent a portion of his men to disturb the rear of the border army, making it so that they could not get any logistical support for the time being.
If Kuan Shu's plan succeeded, not only would all the lands of Great Wei from the capital to the north fall under the hooves of Barbarian Clan. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Profound Gate Pass would also be buried here. However, the Barbarian Clan and Kuan Shu had both made two huge mistakes. Kuan Shu had underestimated the strength of the capital. It was the power of a nation's machine. The Barbarian Army, on the other hand, did not consider the lack of logistical support. After being instigated by Kuan Shu, they hastily marched towards the Great Wei. Only now did they fall into a dilemma.
