Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 209: Cannon Fodders

With the horrified eyes of the Xia family soldiers, Huang Kai's double-bladed scimitar started to spin like a fan as it emitted a terrifying heat.

Huang Kai had an evil smile on his face as he walked through the entire army with the spinning scimitar, creating a fiery line in the army of the Xia family.

Due to the absence of the second-stage martial artist, they couldn't stop him. The most powerful in the army were the captains, who were third-stage martial artists, and although they could beat him, that's only when they were organised. With the army in chaos and no commander, the Xia family was like a headless fly being slaughtered one by one.

Huff! Huff!

Huang Kai took deep breaths as he perspired. His clothes were already stained with the blood of hundreds; however, the spinning fiery two-bladed scimitar was slowly dimming, as if it was running out of fuel. The fiery light was gradually becoming dark, as if it was returning to being an ordinary scimitar again.

Literal mountains of corpses were behind Huang Kai, but there were still many left from the Xia family army, causing him to frown.

"I underestimate myself," Huang Kai thought with a sigh.

Swish!

Suddenly, a dark flaming arrow flickered as it traveled directly at him, aiming for his head in silence.

Even Huang Kai didn't notice the arrow whizzing at him. However, before it could directly melt him, another man appeared and hurriedly redirected the flying arrow.

As the sword and the arrow met, although the sword was able to redirect the arrow, the sword melted with just the touch of the arrow, causing the man's eyes to widen with horror.

"This…" he was speechless as he looked at his melted sword, feeling a pang of heartache. This sword was a precious third-grade weapon, and not every martial artist had a weapon in the same realm as them.

"Are you alright, Patriarch?"

Huang Kai had just noticed the arrow, which made him take a cold breath as he thanked the man.

"Thank you, Grand Elder Bao," Huang Kai said in a grateful tone.

Huang Bao just nodded his head.

"This little runt…" however a deep anger came to him as he looked in the distance seeing a smirk on lu zhen's face as he had an amusing look on his face while seeing the xia and huang family fight.

"If this goes on like this our army will be tired before we can even fight our family." Huang kai gritted his head before announcing in a loud voice "soldiers of the huang family retreat."

The soldiers immediately retreated and the xia family soldiers couldn't care less about them as they made a mad dash past them running for their life.

"Shoot," a sneer appeared on Huang kai's face as he beckoned and instantly arrows rained in the sky as almost half the fleeing xia family soldiers were slaughtered by the arrows while some were lucky to escape.

Lu Zhen frowned when he saw this, thinking, "Something is wrong here."

"Weren't the Xia family ancestors and the Huang family ancestors cooperating to fight our ancestors? Why did they attack the Xia family and even go to such an extent as to lose their arrows just to kill those fleeting soldiers?" His mind worked rapidly as countless thoughts erupted in his head, considering many possibilities—either abstract or non-abstract.

Although many reasons popped into his head, he could only helplessly follow along for now.

Whether it was a trap or not, how could Lu Zhen let this opportunity slip? With ruthless eyes, he raised his right hand and said, "Shoot." Instantly, rains fell down from the sky onto the soldiers of the Huang family and Apocalypse.

Once the arrows gained momentum due to gravity and friction, they became a terrifying mass destruction weapon that could take down a castle with just two shots. And that was when Lu Zhen had an army of a thousand, but now there were millions. Imagine the destructive power of millions of arrows shot in the sky and falling down on you.

Even small pebbles become deadly weapons like meteorites when launched, so the terrifying arrows were even more formidable.

However, seeing the millions of small dots in the sky as they launched at them, Huang Kai was relatively calm as he raised his arms.

"Start a defensive formation." Instantly, the soldiers held their shields and tightened them in a compact form as their shields glowed with a fiery light.

Boom!

As the arrows met the flaming shields, grunts from the soldiers resounded as they were pushed back, but they remained relatively organized.

"What is the report, Grand Elder?" Huang Kai asked the Grand Elder beside him.

"Patriarch, from the report, it looks like only fifty people were seriously injured, and five hundred sixty-seven people were slightly injured with no deaths reported."

Hearing this, Huang Kai was satisfied as his expression became cold, staring at Lu Zhen in the distance.

"No matter what you do, you little monster will die today."

"Charge." His cold tone resounded as the army charged at the Lu family army.

Lu Zhen's eyes flashed with interest, sensing the killing intent of the man as he said, "Shoot again."

Boom!

The soldiers had already prepared the arrows, and they shot again, this time directly aiming at the Xia family army. After all, the Xia family army had already gained a significant distance from them, meaning shooting them in the air to gain momentum was useless now.

Although the lethality was decreased by several times, it didn't mean that the arrows were entirely useless. The weaker individuals of the army were instantly penetrated by countless arrows as they died a meaningless death as blood splattered on the ground.

A good chunk of the army was dead; however, Huang Kai didn't care. After all, almost all of them were disposable cannon fodder, though still valuable to have, but it wouldn't make much difference in the final outcome of the battle.
