In the Red Flame Army.
Jiang Shi felt a wave of surprise in his heart, looking toward the front.
This Zhao Tianlong truly has courage, challenging Yang Hongtian to single combat right from the start. This will be interesting to watch.
Let's see if Yang Hongtian dares to take up the challenge.
But since this concerns the morale of the two armies, I'm afraid that even if Yang Hongtian is unwilling, he must accept the challenge.
Sure enough.
After Zhao Tianlong proposed the duel, the Red Turban Army's morale instantly soared, hundreds of thousands of voices shouted in unison, earth-shattering like thunder.
"Yang Hongtian, come out and fight!"
"Yang Hongtian, come out and fight!"
"Yang Hongtian..."
···
What a spectacular sight with hundreds of thousands shouting together.
The Red Flame Army's faces immediately changed, all their warhorses neighed and reared instinctively, hairs bristling.
Facing such an awe-inspiring momentum, even if men can resist, horses cannot.
In an instant, the army's morale rapidly dissipated.
Yang Hongtian's expression turned grim instantly, and he quickly noticed this.
However, he didn't speak immediately but instead swept his eyes toward the Red Turban Army.
Could it be Zhao Tianlong's actions today conceal some conspiracy?
The generals around him frowned deeply, looking grim.
Even if they wanted to fight on Yang Hongtian's behalf, it would be impossible.
Because Zhao Tianlong had the achievement of having slain a Martial Saint, their level of cultivation would be tantamount to courting death if they took to the field.
"Stop!"
Zhao Tianlong waved his hand broadly and shouted.
Instantly, the hundreds of thousands of troops behind him fell silent, an extreme quietness.
"Hahaha..."
Zhao Tianlong laughed loudly, his voice thundering, and shouted sharply, "Yang Hongtian, it seems you are ultimately a cowardly rat. If you already fear our army, why not surrender immediately? Why are you still following Yang Hongtian? Are you courting death?"
The latter part of his speech was directed toward the many Red Flame Army members and Jianghu individuals.
In an instant, the Red Flame Army was thrown into chaos.
The Jianghu individuals were also filled with unease, suspicion, and anxiety.
It seems Yang Hongtian is genuinely afraid.
This is a troublesome situation.
"General, now is not the time for hesitation. If you do not agree, it will harm the morale, I hope you make a swift decision!"
The elder in scholar's attire by his side said in a concentrated voice.
The Red Flame Army, though few, is elite, banking on a battle of morale. As long as morale is high, they can charge straight through.
But once morale plummets, they will inevitably get entangled with the opponent.
Faced with an opposition with troops several times more than theirs, getting entangled will undoubtedly put them greatly at a disadvantage.
Yang Hongtian nodded grimly.
At this moment, he was already pinned to the metaphorical fire rack by the opponent, with no choice but to step forward.
"Zhao Tianlong!"
Yang Hongtian suddenly shouted, urged his horse forward, his horse's hooves rose high, swinging a black great halberd in his hand, saying, "Since you seek death, I shall fulfill it, come claim your life!"
Rumbling!
The warhorses galloped past, producing an ear-splitting sound.
"Kill!"
Zhao Tianlong shouted and charged fiercely, rushing toward Yang Hongtian.
Clang!
When the two horses clashed, they produced an ear-splitting metallic sound, numerous sparks flew out messily, a dreadful airstream howled incessantly, as if two terrifying demon beasts collided.
Subsequently, the two engaged in rapid combat at the center of the battlefield, clangs rang out, the sounds exploded.
Mighty gleams constantly erupted from between the two.
Both sides were invigorated, all shouted loudly alongside, echoing through the sky.
"Where is Jiang Shi, is Jiang Shi here?"
On the Red Turban Army side, the mighty-bodied Song Jigang, eyes like copper bells, looked towards the Red Flame Army, inquiring deeply.
"Senior brother, that is him."
Yang Lian's face turned grim, his thick fingered pointed directly across.
Soon, Song Jigang noticed Jiang Shi in the crowd, seeing his thin frame, bones thin as sticks, face ghostly pale, wearing a gray linen robe, very inconspicuous.
"Is that him?"
Song Jigang narrowed his eyes, frowning, "Are you kidding me? This bean sprout defeated you?"
"Senior brother, this person has an innate divine power, truly bizarre!"
Yang Lian gritted his teeth and spoke.
Now, he could hardly rationalize how he lost to Jiang Shi.
Yet this skeleton-thin person, almost like a ghost, really defeated him!
It made him both hate and rage, driving him crazy!
"I don't care what kind of oddity he has, when the two armies engage, I'll tear him apart for you!"
Song Jigang said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Yang Lian cupped his fists and said.
"The time is almost here."
A mid-aged scholar, looking at the two dueling on the battlefield, then checking the sky, suddenly waved a feather fan and commanded, "Full army assault!"
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
With a shout, the hundreds of thousands of Red Turban Army rushed forward, black and oppressive.
The Red Flame Army's faces slightly changed, but soon, under the scholar's order, charged quickly as well.
"Kill!"
Clang clang clang!
Ah!
At the outset, both armies of hundreds of thousands plunged into fierce combat, one head flying, blood splashing, like a meat grinder.
Jiang Shi watched the chaotic battlefield, shook his head lightly, and immediately turned his horse to leave.
"Jiang Shi, what are you doing? Aren't you going to charge!"
Xia Longhai shouted suddenly, rushing toward Jiang Shi.
Jiang Shi pulled on the reins, laughed, "General Xia, inform the General that Jiang has other matters to attend to, cannot serve any longer, someday we shall meet again in Jianghu!"
"You impudent! Do you dare desert?"
Xia Longhai shouted sternly.
One side, Xiong Kaishan's face also changed.
"Tsk tsk, why say it so harshly, I'm leaving openly, not fleeing."
Jiang Shi laughed, "By the way, a word of advice to General Xia, best to step aside, otherwise, I'm worried I might smash you with one blow!"
"You're courting death!"
Xia Longhai growled angrily, "Someone, quickly arrest Jiang Shi for me!"
However, the melee and chaos prevented anyone from coming over.
Jiang Shi frowned, swung his heavy Wolf Fang Club straight towards Xia Longhai, with a whooshing sound, the wind howled, as if a Celestial Pillar was crashing down.
Xia Longhai's face changed, hurriedly brought his sword to block, with a clang, his sword was broken on the spot, and the heavy Wolf Fang Club smashed onto Xia Longhai's face.
With a pop, the skull shattered, and the body flew back.
Even the warhorse beneath him was killed by Jiang Shi with a single blow.
"See, I told you to get out of the way, you wouldn't listen, now you're done for, huh?"
Jiang Shi retrieved the Wolf Fang Club and laughed.
One side, Xiong Kaishan broke out in cold sweat, heart horrified, looking at Jiang Shi.
"General Xiong, do you also wish to block me?"
Jiang Shi laughed.
"I..."
Xiong Kaishan, scared speechless, stepped back repeatedly.
Suddenly, an angry roar came from not far away.
Zhang Shan, covered in blood, leading dozens of Red Flame Army and Jianghu individuals, charged directly at Jiang Shi, shouting, "Jiang Shi, do you dare rebel? Seize him for me!"
"Damn it."
Jiang Shi frowned.
Originally intended to leave quietly.
Damn Zhang Shan, hindering repeatedly, and now daring to come over?
"You die too!"
He urged his horse, swung the Wolf Fang Club, heading straight towards Zhang Shan.
