Chapter 380: Great Commander, I'm Wronged...
Jing Menghun shouted loudly and chased after, but all he saw was the rustling of the leaves in the dense forest as a dark shadow, carrying a fragrant scent of Lan Xiang, swiftly disappeared.
Only the sound of manic laughter echoed in the air.
Jing Menghun roared in anger and rushed into the forest!
The elite members of the Golden Horse Knights Hall, still shaken from the previous encounter, exchanged glances and left three to wait for the later arrivals before also rushing into the woods.
A new round of chase began!
However, this time, even Jing Menghun did not dare to be overly confident. The Chu King of Hell’s uncanny and elusive methods were indeed difficult to guard against! Despite only having the cultivation level of a sword sovereign, his tactics were enough to take out a throne in surprise!
Even Jing Menghun had suffered injuries at his hands, let alone others!
So as he pursued, Jing Menghun released the invisible falcon to send out a notification.
Jing Menghun grew increasingly anxious. Unbeknownst to him, the Chu King of Hell had already escaped eight thousand miles! This was a terrifying distance. If someone had told Jing Menghun that the Chu King of Hell could escape this far when he first left Zhongzhou, he would have slapped them across the face and shouted: nonsense!
But now, Jing Menghun no longer thought this way.
In fact, deep down, he had developed a sense of admiration and fear for the Chu King of Hell! Empathizing with others, he realized that if he were in the same situation, even as a ninth rank throne, he could never achieve what the Chu King of Hell had done!
Along this path, the Chu King of Hell had framed others, laid ambushes, utilized the terrain, exploited water, manipulated wild beasts, played on human emotions, and taken advantage of everything he could...
The various ingenious ideas were truly awe-inspiring.
Moreover, the Chu King of Hell's incredible endurance and resilience were unparalleled in Jing Menghun's lifetime! The typical desperado style of tying his own head to his belt had been transformed by him into a certain elegance and wildness.
Many times, Jing Menghun even thought to himself: to have an enemy like this in one's lifetime is truly the greatest misfortune!
The Chu King of Hell's ever-changing attack methods also made Jing Menghun cautious. So this time, he decisively sent a message to the front lines, calling on the experts from the Golden Horse Knights Hall in the army to intercept the Chu King of Hell immediately!
After all, they had already traveled eight thousand miles out of a total of thirteen thousand miles. The remaining distance was only five thousand miles at most.
For an ordinary person, this was still an insurmountable distance, but not necessarily for the Chu King of Hell.
Since he had already covered eight thousand miles, what was another five thousand miles to him?
Jing Menghun had not initially intended to utilize the forces of the Golden Horse Knights Hall, but now he could not avoid doing so! Because if the Chu King of Hell were to reunite with Iron Cloud’s army, the consequences would be unbearable even for Diwu Qingrou.
The Chu King of Hell had eavesdropped on too many military secrets! Moreover, including those smoke bombs and poisons, they were double-edged swords! What he could use, the enemy could certainly use too!
With Jing Menghun’s recruitment, countless experts from the Golden Horse Knights Hall hurriedly arrived...
Although this somewhat weakened the combat effectiveness of Great Zhao's army, it also brought immense pressure to Chu Yang!
Making the journey back even more difficult...
Tie Butian had achieved a great victory, destroying Bai Changtian’s five hundred thousand troops! Among them, thousands died in infighting, and more than one hundred thousand were killed on the spot! The valley was a true river of blood!
The remaining over three hundred thousand became prisoners.
The brilliance of this great victory was rare even in the more than ten years of conflict between the two nations. If one considered that Tie Butian had suffered less than twenty thousand casualties, facing an enemy with such manpower and only incurring such minor losses for such immense results... it was simply unprecedented!
