Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 1618 - 1615: Ambush!

Night!

The moon is dark, the wind is high!

All around is as silent as death, except for the rustling of wind blowing through the branches, and the incessant chirping of some unknown insects, singing their tireless songs.

Everything seems so tranquil and eerie!

Suddenly!

Thousands of cavalry surged from the distant horizon, like the surging river, galloping forward, causing the entire world to tremble violently in that instant.

"Prince, after crossing the valley ahead lies the camp of the traitor Li’s army. If we seize the moment to ambush them, we can certainly catch them off guard. By then, traitor Li will lose control of his forces, and my uncle can lead our army to annihilate them completely!"

Wuo Xiang pointed at the valley ahead and spoke to Wu Dingguo.

Wu Dingguo’s Think Tank examined the terrain of the valley carefully and said with some concern, "Prince, the valley ahead presents a gourd-shaped entrance with very dangerous terrain. There might be an ambush. It might be better to send out scouts first to explore the way and avoid any surprises!"

Upon hearing the Think Tank’s words, Wu Dingguo agreed.

He looked at Wuo Xiang and said, "General Wuo, you are familiar with the terrain here, so you lead a squad of a thousand to investigate the situation!"

Wuo Xiang knew that Wu Dingguo still hadn’t fully trusted him. He responded and led a squad of a thousand towards the direction of the valley.

On the cliff above, there were a few figures overlooking the area.

Every movement in the valley was captured thoroughly by them.

"King, that old fox Wu Dingguo is very cunning, he hasn’t directly led the army in. Instead, he orders Wuo Xiang to lead a squad of a thousand into the valley first for reconnaissance!"

A scout reported the situation he observed to Li Chen systematically.

Li Chen nodded slightly, saying, "Let them pass!"

The scout responded briefly and ran down quickly to convey the order.

They passed through the valley without incident, and Wuo Xiang turned to another officer beside him and said:

"General Zhao, it’s been investigated thoroughly, there are no anomalies. We can notify the Prince."

This person that Wuo Xiang called General Zhao was named Zhao Yongg.

He was Wu Dingguo’s trusted confidant!

Zhao Yongg looked around and, confirming there was no ambush, nodded, ordering his men to inform Wu Dingguo.

Wu Dingguo didn’t trust Wuo Xiang, but he absolutely trusted his confidant Zhao Yongg.

Since Zhao Yongg said there was no ambush, then there was certainly no ambush.

Thus, he led thirty thousand Huben Iron Cavalry, forming a long dragon formation, grandly marching into the valley.

Just when their rear troops had completely entered the valley, suddenly the sound of drums shook the heavens from either side.

Dark clouds pressed against the city, strong winds raged, and thunder roared.

Various rolling stones and logs, like a bursting mountain torrent, surged into the valley overwhelmingly.

Although Wu Dingguo’s Huben Iron Cavalry was very formidable, in this valley, the terrain was narrow and steep, unfavorable for cavalry advancement.

Now, in the darkness, they were suddenly ambushed, causing chaos instantly.

In a short time, countless were crushed by boulders and logs, trampled by each other.

Seeing the situation, Wu Dingguo shouted in alarm, "Not good, it’s an ambush, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"

Wu Dingguo barely managed to retreat from the valley, preparing to escape, when suddenly a troop of cavalry cut off their path.

These cavalry were very strange, showing no sign of life.

During the confrontation between the two armies, a youth stepped forth, lotus blossomed with each step.

He looked at Wu Dingguo and suddenly drew the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, shouting sharply.

"Great Qin Cavalry, charge!"

Accompanied by Li Chen’s command, these eighty thousand Puppet Heavenly Soldiers charged at Wu Dingguo’s army with overwhelming force.

Wu Dingguo’s troops had just escaped, still in a state of shock, when suddenly they were attacked by Li Chen’s Puppet Heavenly Soldiers.

For a moment, their unstable formation fell into chaos again.

When they discovered that these Puppet Heavenly Soldiers couldn’t be killed, fear filled their hearts.

Witnessing this inconceivable scene, Wu Dingguo knew very well.

All the cause of this chaos lies with the youth Li Chen.

If he could be slain, this battle could certainly turn the tide!

Thinking of this, Wu Dingguo hesitated no longer, he struck the ground forcefully, soared into the air, wielding a long spear, thrusting towards Li Chen in the sky.

Li Chen saw Wu Dingguo’s spear thrusting towards him, his eyes slightly narrowed, he shouted fiercely, "Just in time!"

Li Chen finished speaking, his five fingers spread and gripped the Seven-star Dragon Abyss tightly.

Immediately, an unstoppable Sword Intent shot straight to the sky, transforming into hundreds, thousands of Sword Shadows, covering Wu Dingguo overwhelmingly.

This Sword Intent was extremely sharp, slicing through the surrounding void, causing it to collapse repeatedly.

Wu Dingguo roared towards the sky, his arm shook violently, his spear like a Jiao Long emerging from the sea, brandishing its claws and fangs to meet the attack.

"Clang!"

The spear’s edge and Sword Intent collided in mid-air, sparking countless flares.

Due to Li Chen’s Sword Intent being somewhat scattered, it was pierced open by Wu Dingguo’s thrust.

Just as Wu Dingguo approached to strike Li Chen’s critical Life Gate, Li Chen’s silhouette suddenly transformed into a gentle breeze, elusive.

This made it impossible for Wu Dingguo to lock onto a target, several consecutive thrusts missed.

In a fury, Li Chen’s silhouette appeared ghostly behind him.

Realizing the dire situation, Wu Dingguo was greatly alarmed.

However, his cultivation was already at the Quasi-Mahayana God Monarch level, having defended the southwestern border for years, and battled fierce Demon Beasts, thus his combat experience was extremely rich.

Quickly, Wu Dingguo steadied his mind, hanging upside down in the air, his spear shining coldly, aiming at Li Chen’s throat Life Gate.

Li Chen neither dodged nor evaded, his hands quickly merged in a seal, conjuring an impregnable defensive light screen, shielding before him.

"Boom!"

Wu Dingguo’s thrust landed on the light screen, instantly exploding with a thunderous rumble.

The violent True Yuan dispersed around, causing the mountains and vegetation within a hundred miles to be destroyed instantly.

After a fierce confrontation, when Wu Dingguo’s momentum had slightly weakened, a mocking smile appeared on Li Chen’s lips.

"Mighty King, you claim the Great Wu Dynasty’s sky-supporting jade pillar, sea-straddling purple gold beam. Is this all your strength? It’s honestly a bit lacking!"

Hearing Li Chen’s mocking words, Wu Dingguo was immediately furious.

"Li Chen, you brat, stop being arrogant!"

Wu Dingguo’s hair flared wildly, roaring to the sky.

Immediately, a catastrophic True Yuan surged, connecting Big and Small 36 Circuits, rushing from his head towards the Nine Heavens Cloud.
