Supreme Emperor of Mist

"Young master, please let me and Qiang Shou bring a surprise attack at them!" Yi Feng step forward for Qin Lan's permission to attack, But to his surprise, it didn't take Qin Lan too much time to think before he rejected his proposal.

"Rejected. Both of you shall remain by my side until I give you an order, understood?" Qin Lan banned Yi Feng's idea for a surprising attack as he had more in his mind waiting to be executed.

If it was conducted recklessly or carelessly, such a mistake might change the favor in this battle. This is also why Qin Lan would remain passive until now without creating a wave here and there.

"Where did the aggressive commander that made me horny yesterday? To think that he's being so passive today!" Peng Yan pairs of eyes stare intensely at Qin Lan. There are close to ten methods are in her mind right now as she anticipates the next move from Qin Lan.

"Move ten steps forward!" her order came as the soldiers proceed calmly closer to Xu Xin Cheng's battlefield.

"Raise the arrow flag at the girl. Fire on my sign!" Peng Yan was not in a playful mood today as she ordered the siege weapon to be aimed at Lu Qing Yun. The hint of threat immediately caught Lu Qing Yun's attention as she pulled her Violet Queen Whip back into her grip.

"The weapon is targetting me? Good. Let me see if I can repeat what my young master did earlier!" Lu Qing Yun's Spiritual Energy came out of her body as it turned into an image of a white lotus surrounding her.

There was a hint of worry in her eyes, but that didn't discourage her. Patiently, Lu Qing Yun stares at the three experts controlling the ballistic weapon. A hand of theirs was placed over the inscription circle as it continued to absorb their Spiritual Energy.

"Attack her!" two peak-leveled Flesh Refining experts suddenly came from behind Lu Qing Yun for a sneak attack.

"How dare you try to sneak on a lady!" Lu Qing Yun took a leap from her horse. Using the Violet Queen Whip in her hand, she sent lashes upon lashes on the two until they're filled with wounds all over their body.

"I'll have to be careful with that weapon..." Lu Qing Yun remained observant as she's worried about getting caught unprepared by her opponent.

"Hehe... I'll see how long can you maintain that state..." Peng Yan smiled at Lu Qing Yun viciously. Maybe it was fueled with some jealousy and hate... The moment she thought about Lu Qing Yun is marching forward beside Qin Lan, it irritates her to no tomorrow.

"Keep them coming! Why are you stopping?" Lu Qing Yun gets fired up the longer she has to remain observant. She decided to accept this provocation from Peng Yan as a challenge.

Returning to her horse again, Lu Qing Yun placed a few Kunlun Lesser Dragon Pill into her mouth. But as she tried to recover her storage of Spiritual Energy, more soldiers turned up before her as they're trying to keep her occupied.

"To think that she can come up with cunning warfare by adjusting the killing intent from a weapon to Lu Qing Yun... There's more for Qing Yun. This is indeed a good experience for her." Qin Lan praised Peng Yan. If it was not because of the differences in their origin, perhaps he and Peng Yan may become a bosom buddy that enjoyed exchanging pointers about warfare and chess.

Although her method was considered unpolished in Qin Lan's opinion, to produce a result like this with a mere 300 soldiers is counted successful in his opinion. 

To Peng Yan, exhausting Lu Qing Yun's stamina before the army reaches her is equal to achieving half of the victory before their battle started. Furthermore, in warfare, the final result is always determined by which side is victorious.

Han Xue! Bring me the bow!" Qin Lan shouted.

A bow was thrown at Qin Lan's hand immediately along with the quiver. And in a very swift action of his, Qin Lan grabbed the bow into his hand while pulling three arrows out at the same time.

"I'll let you see some mastery in archery!" Qin Lan pulled the bowstring confidently as he aimed at the ballistic weapon.

"Blow the horn! Protect the siege weapon from getting destroyed!" Peng Yan gave an order instantly as the flagbearer immediately changed the way he moves the flag. The response of hers and Xu Xin Cheng's army was so fast that a layer of protection is established as soon as Qin Lan released the arrow.

**Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!**

The three experts fell after taking an arrow from Qin Lan. There's not even time for them to cry from the pain.

"Bravo, commander!" Qin Lan's soldier praised him for his sharp archery skills.

"Charge forward! Qiang Shou, Yi Feng, You Qing, take the lead! Han Xue, follow me with your team!" Qin Lan's order came as they least expecting it.

In that instant, Qin Lan's passiveness suddenly turned differently as the momentum of his army changed. The soldiers that were battered to no tomorrow by Peng Yan's soldier turned into a row of death reapers suddenly and cut them down ruthlessly as they march forward.

'Did... I fall into his trap again?' Peng Yan bites her fingernails as the frustration start to pile around her.

"Stop them right there! All soldiers, get ready to advance at any time!" Peng Yan ordered.

...

...

...

"How - How can this be!" Xiong Jie's eyes were opened wide the moment Huang Ping behead him with a ruthless slash across his neck.

"Second brother!" Lang Xue shouted as he witness the death of the last remaining member of his Hushan Bandits. With only him left here on the battlefield, be it if he survives or not, the Hushan Bandit is no more.

"Lang Xue! You're next!" Shan Xiong Xin's fist came as he pushes the power of his Sky Dragon Turbulence Body Art into the peak.

"Sky Dragon Descending Blow!"

"Demonic Slaughtering Palm!"

The two of them exchanged another blow. But this time, Shan Xiong Xin was the one that got thrown behind as he rolled on the ground a few times before he came to a stop.

"Half - Half-step Bone Reconstruction?" Shan Xiong Xin said as a row of blood flow from the side of his lips.
