Chapter 1014: Chapter 114: The Great Battle at Hanhai Pass (Part 2) Chapter 1014: Chapter 114: The Great Battle at Hanhai Pass (Part 2) Night fell, and the crescent moon began to rise.

Wang Chen stood atop the city walls, gazing out at the glimmering Yan Army campfires scattered in the distance, his eyes sparking with a strange light.

He was using the Technique of Qi Observation to probe the enemy camp.

Moments later, Wang Chen withdrew his gaze and said to Shangguan Wuji, who was accompanying him, “It should be tomorrow.”

His statement was somewhat cryptic, but Shangguan Wuji understood completely, “I’ll deal with Yan Xiaoyun myself; I’ll leave the other two to the Protectors!”

Under the current circumstances, Great Yan could be said to be pushed to the cliff’s edge; if they did not wish to face the extinction of their nation, then taking Hanhai Pass was the only choice.

And the Yan Army, coming in full force, could not afford to delay.

Not to mention the supply of goods. Once the Hanhai Army received support from the Inner Prefecture, it would be even more difficult for the Yan Army to take down this formidable Xiong Pass.

So, they must fight quickly and decisively.

Today, in the first battle, the Yan Army had suffered a great loss; they could not possibly fail to learn from it.

Tomorrow, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance it would be the day of the decisive battle!

At that time, all three Martial Venerables of Yan State would surely mobilize to siege Shangguan Wuji; as long as they take down this commander of the Hanhai Army, Hanhai Pass would inevitably fall in one battle.

Of course, Shangguan Wuji could choose to avoid battle, but without stopping these three sixth-tier Martial Venerables, they would be able to sweep across the Guan Wall and destroy all the siege machinery.

Including more than a dozen cannons!

If it were before, Shangguan Wuji would inevitably face a difficult choice, but now he was not the least bit afraid; he was even looking forward to this battle arriving, planning to give the enemy a huge surprise.

“Good.”

Wang Chen nodded, exchanging a smile with Shangguan Wuji.

Fate is with me; this battle we shall win!

The next morning, the Yan Army remained stationary in their camps, but the atmosphere of the looming battle became intensely grim.

Approaching noon, this massive army began advancing towards Hanhai Pass.

And with them, they brought all their trebuchets and siege towers, posing a stance for a decisive battle!

Then, three li away, they halted their march.

Immediately after, banners were raised high, fluttering in the wind.

The wind picked up.

At first, it was only a breeze, but soon, the wind rapidly grew stronger, turning into a fierce gale!

Most importantly, this wind blew from west to east, that is, from the Yan Army’s direction towards Hanhai Pass.

The Yan Army had gained the upper hand with the wind.

Ordinarily, this wouldn’t be much of an issue, but with the gale sweeping up dust from the ground and blowing it towards Hanhai Pass, the situation changed.

Countless warriors guarding the city walls were blown so that they could hardly open their eyes; some even got dust in their eyes and had to rub them or wash with water, appearing quite disheveled.

Strangely, this gale was continuous and stable, as if the heavens themselves were on the side of the Yan Army.

But Wang Chen and Shangguan Wuji saw clearly this was no natural phenomenon, but an attack from the Yan Army.

“The Heavenly Master of Yan State is performing magic…”

Shangguan Wuji’s expression became solemn: “This time, they’re truly going all out.”

Wang Chen also spotted the Cultivators stationed behind the Yan State armies, those clad in robes were “dancing” and had joined hands to create this windstorm that was unfavorable for the Hanhai Army.

Magic?

Wang Chen could do that too!

He immediately formed a spell with his hands, channeling his Mana, and pointed sharply towards the Firmament: “Gather, clouds!”

The next moment, clumps of dark clouds appeared above Hanhai Pass and quickly converged into a large expanse of overcast sky.

Wang Chen then pointed ahead and loudly commanded: “Thunder, Come!”

A crackling sound was heard as a dazzling bolt of lightning flashed through the clouds drifting towards the Yan Army.

Beside him, Shangguan Wuji stared in amazement!

Wang Chen, possessing the cultivation level of a tier-seven Martial Saint, was already an inconceivable miracle. He had never imagined that Wang Chen would also have the ability to cast spells, and that his mana was so profuse.

How audacious, to counter more than a hundred Heavenly Masters of the Yan State!

Crack! Crack!

Before Shangguan Wuji could regain his senses, bolts of lightning struck the formation of Heavenly Masters behind the Yan Army.

Instantly, a swath of them was felled in unison!

These cultivators of the Yan State thought themselves safe in the rear, and with their overwhelming numbers and power, it never occurred to them that Hanhai Pass would launch a counterattack instantly.

And with such fierce and fiendish intensity!

Although many cultivators were not directly hit by the lightning, their minds were utterly disrupted and their mana reversed its course, resulting in blood spewing from their mouths.

The formation they assembled crumbled to pieces at once.

The howling gales came to a halt as well.

Simultaneously, the thunderclouds in the sky quickly dissipated.

Wang Chen had withdrawn his hand.

There was no alternative, this world was very inhospitable to cultivators, and casting Thunder Magic just now had drained a massive amount of his mana, making it difficult to maintain.

But the effect was outstanding.

Now it was the Yan Army’s turn to be at a loss; their preplanned siege tactics could no longer continue.

Three silhouettes broke from their formation, streaking toward Hanhai Pass like arrows leaving the bow, their speed inconceivably rapid.

“Shoot them down!”

The commanding officer of Guard City issued an order to intercept.

With the twang of bowstrings, hundreds upon thousands of feathered arrows flew from atop the wall, creating a dense rain of arrows.

Yet, the three charging enemies seemed to not notice at all, pressing forward under the barrage of arrows towards the base of the wall.

Arrows that fell on them were deflected by an invisible barrier, unable to harm them in the slightest.

At the same time, the three let out a simultaneous roar, their voices shaking in all directions!

The Hanhai Army guarding the wall suddenly felt as if they had been struck fiercely in the chest; their eardrums nearly burst, and in their confusion, they could no longer keep intercepting the enemies.

The Yan Army had deployed their most formidable force!

Upon reaching the wall, these three individuals leaped high into the air, their might allowing them to soar over the parapets.

“Yan Xiaoyun!”

At that moment, Shangguan Wuji suddenly drew his blade to meet one of the Silver Armored Warriors, shouting fiercely, “Today will be your end!”

At the same time, Wang Chen confronted the other two tier-six Martial Venerables.

Without uttering a word, an imposing aura erupted from him, firmly locking onto his two opponents!

Ji Shanhe and another white-haired elder were greatly startled.

Because all intelligence indicated that only Shangguan Wuji, a tier-six Martial Venerable, was present within Hanhai City, with the other three either in the Northern Prefecture of Great Liang or within the palace of Great Liang.

Especially as the latter two Martial Venerables were involved in the palace upheaval of Great Liang, they had neither the time nor the energy to come to Hanhai Pass for support.

The question was, from where did a powerful martial artist suddenly emerge?

Both sensed that their life forces had been firmly locked by Wang Chen, and if they forcibly joined Yan Xiaoyun to besiege Shangguan Wuji, they would undoubtedly provoke a thunderous strike from Wang Chen, the consequences of which would be unimaginable.

Left with no choice, Ji Shanhe and the white-haired elder changed their approach, jointly moving to confront Wang Chen.

Two Martial Venerables attacked at once, exerting their full strength!

Invisible Gang Qi intertwined, with ferocity and strength reaching the peak, like the irresistible pressure of a mountain, the momentum of their assault seemed to crash down on Wang Chen like an avalanche.

Faced with the joint strike of two Martial Venerables, Wang Chen responded with a single palm.

It was a seemingly effortless palm!
