Chapter 74.1
This lake is known as Heavenly Lake, towering at 660 zhang high, as if the waters were suspended in the sky.
Spanning a vast area, its depths unseen, and with an abundant water supply, it was originally designated by Lin Beifan as a source of reserve water.
Thus, when the Heavenly Lakes dam broke, the tremendous drop created an immense kinetic energy. The terrifying volume of water poured down, rushing along the river channels, overflowing uncontrollably!
Such a powerful impact, let alone an army of 800,000, even a million-strong force could be swept away!
Boom, rumble, rumble
Whoosh, splash, splash
Thunder roared, the heavens and earth trembled!
This tremendous noise caught the attention of both armies.
Whats happened?
Where is that sound coming from?
Is it thunder? Or is the earth dragon turning over?
No one could make heads or tails of it.
As soon as Grand General Chai Yulang and his daughter exchanged glances, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on their faces.
Theyve succeeded!
Breaking free from their opponents, they returned to the Xia army and shouted loudly, All troops retreat! Retreat to higher ground!
An Lushan was puzzled but still followed suit and shouted, Retreat!
The 400,000-strong army of the Xia Kingdom immediately began to fall back, climbing to higher ground.
However, the allied forces of the three kingdoms were still unaware of what had happened and could only follow orders, crossing the river channel and continuing to charge forward.
The noise grew louder and louder, the earth and mountains began to shake, and the birds and beasts panicked, scattering rapidly.
People finally discovered the surging torrent.
Not good! A flash flood has erupted!
Theres a flood!
Such a terrifying flood, run for your lives!
Both armies changed color in alarm, quickly fleeing for their lives!
The Xia army was better off, having already avoided the riverbed and ascended to higher ground earlier on.
Under the command of the two Grand Generals, they hid further away, climbed higher, and were thus safer.
However, the allied forces of the three kingdoms suffered greatly, as most of their men had just charged into the riverbed located in the lowest ground.
The flood was a disaster, overflowing and coming forth; there was simply nowhere to hide and avoid it.
Whoosh
Countless soldiers from the three kingdoms were swept away.
Help! Save me, quickly!
I dont want to die!
Save me!!!
Cries for help and wails of despair filled the heavens and the earth.
The generals of the Three Kingdoms watched with eyes wide open in fury: Our soldiers! Quickly, save our soldiers! Think of something, quickly
The aides and staff on either side shook their heads, the corners of their mouths bitter with helplessness.
How could they save them?
Faced with man-made disasters, they still had some solutions.
But when confronted with a flood comparable to a natural disaster, there was simply no way to save them!
Even if you possess Grandmaster-level strength, maybe you can save one or two, or even dozens or hundreds, but can you really save an army of 800,000?
Humans are still too insignificant in the face of nature!
It was you! It must have been you!
They pointed their guns at the Xia army.
Because, as of yesterday, they had retreated south of the river channel and ascended to higher ground. After the flood arrived, it was the Xia army who first reacted, retreating to a safe area.
All of this was clearly premeditated.
Chai Yuxin said proudly, Thats right, it was us! Who asked you to lead an army of 800,000 to invade our territory? Now youre getting your just punishment, huh? Haha
So it was you!
Damn it! Ill kill you all! Avenge my people!
Kill them!
Five Innates, with overwhelming murderous intent, charged forward.
Father and daughter Chai Yulang once again faced the battle.
Above Heavenly Lake, Lin Beifan and Eunuch Liu watched everything with satisfaction.
The waters of Heavenly Lake pour forth, forming a natural disaster flood that could annihilate an 800,000-strong army with a backhand strike! However, it has enraged those five Innates. Eunuch Liu, go and support uncle quickly!
But, Your Majesty, your safety Eunuch Liu hesitated.
Lin Beifan smiled and said, Dont worry, the master has already arrived, and he is secretly protecting me!
Very well!
Eunuch Liu bowed to the sky: I entrust this task to you, honored one!
Having spoken, he leaped downward, employing his movement skills, and swiftly advanced along the river channel.
Thus, 3 against 5, although still at a disadvantage, was enough to hold on for a long time.
After Liu Eunuch left, Lin Beifans mind conjured the Empire Sandbox, and he snorted.
In this battle, I shall obliterate your nations fortune, break your backbones, extinguish your fiery blood, and make you tremble at the sound of my name!
He began to mobilize, transferring the underground water from all over the country to the Heavenly Lake.
The water level of the slightly depleted Heavenly Lake quickly surged again and then continued to pour down from the cracks, bringing with it a devastating, torrential force that rolled along the river channel.
Boom, rumble, rumble
Whoosh!
The torrent was too fierce; many trees along the riverbanks were swept away!
The flesh and blood soldiers could not withstand it either; a wave of the flood carried them off, their faces filled with despair.
Many who thought they had escaped the first disaster were washed away once again.
The generals of the Three Kingdoms looked down at the vast expanse of water, their faces turning ashen, nearly fainting from anger.
Originally, at least 400,000 of their troops had survived, but now, it was likely that fewer than 100,000 remained alive.
The hatred of the country and the family has dazzled their minds.
You people of the Xia Kingdom you are so ruthless!
The feeling is mutual! You three kingdoms are no better! Chai Yuxin retorted with biting sarcasm.
If our soldiers cant live, then dont expect yours to survive either!
Suddenly, two Innate masters broke away from Chai Yuxin and the others, charging towards the Xia Kingdoms army below.
Chai Yuxin and the others faces changed: Not good! Stop them quickly!
You cannot stop me; today, I shall unleash a massacre!
Above the Heavenly Lake, Lin Beifans expression grew solemn: Time to bring this to an end!
He stretched out his hand towards the front: Return of Ten Thousand Swords!!!
Thousands upon thousands of Sword Qi emanated from his body, sweeping through heaven and earth!
Clang, clang, clang
Between heaven and earth, it seemed as if the very air was filled with the sound of swords clashing!
The faces of the crowd changed dramatically once again.
What is that sound?
Is it like the humming of swords?
I have a bad feeling about this!
Clang clang clang
The sound grew closer and louder until everyone could finally see clearly what it was.
It was actually thousands upon thousands of Sword Qi!
With a sword intent that was incomparably fierce and destructive, it descended from the heavens!
It thrust towards those five Innates!
Pff pff pff
In the blink of an eye, before the five Innates could react, they were sliced into pieces by the Sword Qi, turning into a rain of blood that scattered across the sky.
This scene was too shocking for the heart!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
