Chapter 2139: Chapter 217: I Appreciate Your Kind Words
But the strength of Yisheng Feng and Jiang Wang is not important; as long as he can slightly hold up Jiang Wang, it is enough.
This time, a large army attacks with fifty thousand united soldiers, ambushing thirty thousand disorganized troops. With a prepared army, they surround a distracted force. No matter how strong Jiang Wang is in single combat, can he alone slay his way through ten thousand troops?
"The only concern is..." Chu Mindao says, "According to the Marquis of Xuanping, Jiang Wang is now at the Outer Building’s four realms perfection, ready to step into God Descending at any moment, only waiting for a flawless opportunity. If he breaks through to God Descending on the battlefield, it will be difficult for us to hold him."
While he raises the issue, he also provides a solution: "Thus, at the beginning of the ambush, we must use the military formation to trap him, eliminating any chance of escape. Gu Yong will be in charge of this ten-thousand-man formation. He is a Legalist cultivator, skilled at confining enemies."
He looks at Yisheng Feng: "Can Gu Yong cooperate with Mr. Yi at that time? It is not a lack of trust in your capabilities. Just that Jiang Wang is cunning, fearing that defeat is easy but killing difficult."
Yisheng Feng replies calmly: "Of course the battle arrangements are led by your country. We from the Southern Dipper Palace came to Summer Country to support, naturally accommodating your lead."
He raises his eyelids slightly and continues: "Also, regarding Jiang Wang’s potential battlefield breakthrough... I too have long been perfect in the Outer Building, with the Tao Path in hand, ready to achieve God Descending at any time."
"That’s even better!" Wei Guangyao is truly delighted because if there is no God-Comes Power Level to restrain God Descending, even if it’s ground down by military formations, the casualties would certainly be enormous. As the war reaches this point, every soldier is immensely valuable. He praises: "With Mr. Yi, what is there to fear from Jiang Wang!"
Chu Mindao says: "Since Mr. Yi has achieved perfection in the Outer Building, why not accomplish God Descending first? Then we’ll directly attack with the force of a landslide, leaving Jiang Wang no chance to break through, isn’t it safer?"
Yisheng Feng remains silent for a moment and says: "If I don’t kill Jiang Wang, my God Descending has regret."
In the council hall, silence prevails for a moment!
As the direct disciple of True Person of the Seven Kills, Lu Shuanghe, Yisheng Feng aims for a God Without Regret, which isn’t surprising at all.
It’s only surprising if he intends to achieve it regretfully!
However.
What deep hatred and enmity exist between Yisheng Feng and Jiang Wang for him to make it his heart’s obstacle? To the extent that not killing him leaves a regret in achieving God Descending!
Yisheng Feng has no intention of explaining.
The people of Summer Country also do not ask.
Tai Yin ponders for a moment, then speaks: "Indeed, defeating him is easy but killing is difficult. Once, Zhao Xuenyang of Jinguo personally captured Jiang Wang, yet he escaped, although that time Qi Country’s strongmen intervened, but his escape skills were evident. Today he stands at the threshold of God Descending, likely even more elusive, fleeing swiftly... With his talent, if he doesn’t die, he will inevitably become a major threat in the future! So besides you, there is another person heading to Min Xi Corridor."
Chu Mindao raises an eyebrow, evidently having guessed who it is.
"Who?" Wei Guangyao asks.
Tai Yin answers: "Zhou Xiong... Lord Zhou!"
Son of Duke of the State Zhou Ying, Zhou Xiong!
A genuine God Descending Realm expert!
Zhou Ying has three sons and three daughters, only the third son Zhou Xiong is promising, having achieved God Descending twenty years ago.
Wei Guangyao is surprised: "Lord Zhou? He can come?"
"He is already on his way," Tai Yin replies. "He will meet you at Min Xi Corridor."
"This is a precaution we have taken in view of the importance of Jiang Wang and Zhongxuan Sheng, to ensure everything is foolproof." He says to Yisheng Feng, "Hopefully, Mr. Yi will achieve without regret this time!"
Chu Mindao worries that Yisheng Feng might be too proud, unwilling to overwhelm the few with many, or to use the military formation for cooperation... This evidently is overthinking.
In Tai Yin’s judgment, Yisheng Feng is someone who cares solely for the result, without concern for the process.
Thus, he mentions Zhou Xiong very directly.
And Yisheng Feng merely flicks his longsword lightly and responds: "Thanks for your kind wishes!"
