Chapter 168: 5th Layer Nascent Soul Realm

"Kill him!" Fredrinn commanded with a cold look.

As soon as his words fell, Ulric and Bernard lunged at Gregor, brandishing their weapons at the latter with heavy force.

Sensing their power, Gregor narrowed his eyes into slits.

He lifted his saber and used every bit of his efforts to parry their weapons, all while defending himself against the sneak attacks of the soldiers that surrounded him.

Given his current situation, Gregor knew that one mistake would be fatal to him.

In this extremely focused state, he was quickly consuming his Qi.

'This won't do! I will die at this rate!' Gregor couldn't even think of a way to get himself out of the situation.

The enemies bombarded him with all sorts of attacks that he didn't have the time to think.

At this point, he was moving through sheer instincts. His muscles were starting to feel sore and the backlash from the rapid consumption of his Qi was slowly affecting his body.

Meanwhile, Johnson Maxville rallied the Blood Saber Army to break through the tight defensive formation. However, the Black Flame Heavy Cavalry Division's phalanx was like a fortress, unbreakable and firm! No matter how hard they tried to penetrate their formation, they just couldn't force their way through.

'Dammit! Their armor is too fucking sturdy! Our soldiers can't even push them back.' Johnson felt his heart sink.

Gregor wouldn't be able to hold on for long, and if he died, the morale of the Blood Saber Army would collapse.

Unable to come up with a solution, he gritted his teeth before he fiercely charged at the phalanx.

"Fuck off!" He bellowed as he swung his weapon.

The outer layer of the phalanx was dismantled under his ferocious charge, but he found himself stuck at the third layer of the phalanx. Furthermore, multiple power martial practitioners surrounded him, preventing him from moving further.

One particular expert caught his eye. It was a white-haired woman with an expressionless face. She was holding a pair of swords that looked like the fangs of a large creature.

After a brief eye contact, Johnson swung his weapon, aiming at the woman who seemed to be the strongest of the bunch.

"Get out of my way, bitch!" He shouted furiously.

To his surprise, the woman didn't choose to evade. She dashed at him, moving like a mirage. Her swords suddenly danced effectively blocking his weapon and even forcing him back by a step.

"What?!" Johnson was stunned.

He was also a half-step Void Tempering powerhouse, but he was actually pushed back by a 10th layer Nascent Soup martial practitioner.

With an indifferent look, Nix executed a ghost-like movement while releasing a series of sword slashes. Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Johnson parried her swords, but as the battle continued, he realized that her techniques were better than his.

In a moment of carelessness, he failed to block her sword which penetrated his chest in one single stab.

"Argh!" Johnson groaned and was about to counterattack when another sword cut off his dominant arm.

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

Johnson staggered as he stared at the woman in disbelief.

'Just what kind of monsters are we fighting?' That was his last thought before he collapsed on the ground.

Upon his death, the soldiers of the Blood Saber Army were stunned.

Johnson was the brain of their army and his strength was second only to Gregor.

Such a powerful man actually died at the hands of a woman.

Not long after his death, Gregor also followed. He was a powerful martial practitioner with overwhelming strength, but under the combined attacks of Bernard, Ulric, and many others, he soon depleted his Qi and died with numerous blades penetrating his body.

Gregor was the symbol of strength in the Blood Saber Army and his death caused the collapse of this seemingly unstoppable army. Discover exclusive tales on m,v l'e-NovelFire.net

Two hours later, the Blood Saber Army was wiped out.

Nate Woodman witnessed Fredrinn's commanding ability and it left him in deep awe. It wasn't even a day since the enemy entered the plains, but they had already been brought down.

He stared at Fredrinn who was coldly observing the battlefield. His eyes were unfathomably deep like the abyss.

Fredrinn sensed Nate's gaze and turned to look at him. He then smiled meaningfully.

Nate suddenly felt jumpy when he saw his smile. 'Why is he looking at me like that? Did he discover my identity? That shouldn't be possible.'

Nate was certain that he didn't leave any clues that would reveal his identity. However, he had a strange feeling that Fredrinn seemed to know something.

'I must be overthinking it.' He shook off his thoughts. He had already removed all the evidence that would expose his true identity.

In this battle, Nate's army had the most losses. Of his fifty thousand soldiers, more than thirty thousand died, leaving him with only a little over nineteen thousand left. Most of them were also injured.

Ricky who was part of the vanguard force tragically died and his corpse wasn't even intact.

His death made the others feel a mixture of emotions.

Fredrinn who heard the news of his death sighed while shaking his head.

Ricky wasn't a capable leader. He only became a corps commander by virtue of his connections and wealth. However, he stuck to his role at the very end and followed Fredrinn's command without complaint.

Suddenly…

[You have defeated a powerful army! Your name will be remembered and written in the history books of the kingdom! Rewards: Level Up Card x1 and 5000 Fate Points!]

Fredrinn immediately used the Level Up Card, promoting his cultivation to the 5th layer of the Nascent Soul realm.

Unknowingly, he was already halfway through the Nascent Soul realm. He only needed to complete five more missions to reach the peak layer!

Perhaps he might even advance to the Void Tempering realm by the end of the war, but this was just his wishful thinking.

The battle with the Blood Saber Army concluded in an underwhelming fashion. Lester and the others never thought that they would win in such an overwhelming manner. It was almost like a miracle.
