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?"

"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.
