Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 142: One Person Breaks the Army, Overpowers Ten Thousand People (One More Chapter)

"This...how is this possible?!!"

Shock, confusion, doubt, apprehension...and fear.

Witnessing the outcome of the battle with his own eyes, Hou Hua, the eldest son of the commander of the Black Mountain Army, had an ever-changing expression.

However, in the end, despite his fear, he did not stop. Instead, he waved his robe and gritted his teeth as he gave the order to charge.

"Black Mountain Army, charge!"

"Roar!"

Unlike his younger brother, Hou Hua's strength was at the peak of Innate, just one step away from being a Grandmaster.

As the eldest son, he was clearly more valued. As a result, the legion he commanded was not composed of heavy infantry, but heavy armored cavalry.

Cavalry not only had overall higher strength than infantry, but the warhorses they rode were also Red Scale Horses with a trace of Demonic Beast bloodline.

With over ten thousand knights and over ten thousand horses, their charge was like a mountain torrent bursting forth, causing the earth to tremble.

The fierce charge gave people a feeling of being unstoppable.

Seeing this, the cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect, who had just experienced the battle and had not yet relaxed, became nervous again.

Some even thought that the Black Mountain Army had surrendered to the enemy because of Hou Hua's actions.

However, Yue Qianqian, after watching for a while, she sheathed her flying sword and withdrew it into its scabbard.

Then, she looked at Zhong Cang with a complex gaze and said lightly, "This army lacks killing intent. They are not charging with the intention of surrounding and killing, or even fighting."

Hearing this, Zhong Cang instantly understood.

"Deterrence?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, from what I've heard, the empires in this world are all opportunistic, swinging between us and the Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Sect, seeking benefits from both sides. Now that they see the failure of the Demon Sect, they are anxious and want to deter us, preventing us from breaking the balance."

After speaking, the cultivator who analyzed the situation respectfully looked at Zhong Cang and asked with clasped fists, "Senior Brother Zhong, what should we do?"

Not only the analyzing cultivator, but everyone else also turned their gaze to Zhong Cang, waiting for his decision.

This situation, where he stood still and didn't say a word but became the focus of everyone's attention, represented Zhong Cang's current status and prestige.

To be honest, before this battle, although Zhong Cang had gained some leadership within the team due to his identity as an inner disciple and his strength at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, this team did not entirely obey him. Yue Qianqian and several others had the ability to compete with him for leadership.

Moreover, because of his previous reputation for "avoiding battles" and being "cowardly," the cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect were more willing to listen to Yue Qianqian rather than Zhong Cang.

However, this notion was shattered in the battle just now.

Taking one step forward and causing three thousand people to kneel, this alone was enough to make people's hearts tremble and make them respect Zhong Cang.

Then, Zhong Cang, who merged with the Heavenly Heart, displayed various terrifying abilities.

Crushing gravity, pulling force, spell control...each terrifying ability instantly shocked the cultivators and shattered their worldview, especially when they witnessed the opposite side's spells going out of control.

"Are these the abilities that the Qi Refining Stage possesses?"

After the impact, there was ecstasy and peace.

The power of the cultivators belonged to themselves, but because of this, they also identified more with the concept of might makes right.

Especially in war, having such a powerful commander-in-chief increased their chances of survival.

Afterwards, Zhong Cang hid behind and used his third vision and god mode to assist everyone, which elevated their admiration for Zhong Cang to a new level.

"Strong yet humble, such an extraordinary genius who doesn't seek the limelight but is willing to assist us, not letting a single person die... I've decided to follow such a senior brother!"

Ordinary cultivators had this thought, and the rescued cultivators looked at Zhong Cang as if they were looking at their own parents, which greatly increased Zhong Cang's prestige. As a result, everyone was waiting for his decision.

Being looked up to by everyone, Zhong Cang could also feel that no matter what decision he made, his fellow disciples would follow.

This made Zhong Cang feel a heavy burden, and it made him more determined.

Looking at the knights charging in the distance, Zhong Cang sighed and shook his head.

"I'm sorry..."

The reason for apologizing was that Zhong Cang understood that the actions of the Black Mountain Legion could not be called wrong.

And the actions of the Cloud Firmament Sect could not be called righteous.

This was their world, their home, and the resources here belonged to them.

The arrival of the Cloud Firmament Sect meant plundering their resources.

Therefore, their resistance could be considered righteous.

Unfortunately, reality is not a fairy tale, there is no clear distinction between black and white, and justice does not always prevail. What exists is only that weakness is the original sin.

"The exploration of the lower realm is the trend of the North Abyss Region. While others are exploring, the Cloud Firmament Sect remains motionless. In less than thirty years, the weak will be us."

"And weakness is the original sin. I don't want to die, and I don't want the sect to be defeated, so I'm sorry!"

With the last apology, Zhong Cang's eyes rolled up, his pupils turned pure white, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuation.

In this state, Zhong Cang appeared indifferent and ruthless like the heavens.

In this state, Zhong Cang gazed at the opposite side, lifted his right foot, and slowly stepped forward...

Seeing this scene, many of Zhong Cang's fellow disciples around him showed ecstatic expressions.

Some people even trembled with excitement.

"Hiss..."

"It's coming!"

"Are we going to see that move again?"

All the Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators were ecstatic about what they were about to witness.

This scene also made Hou Hua, the eldest son of the Black Mountain Legion, realize that his plan to intimidate had failed.

He wanted to charge with his army, using the overwhelming power of heavy cavalry to make the cultivators fear and not dare to threaten them.

But now, the expressions on the cultivators' faces made him realize that those people were not afraid, but rather looking forward to something.

"Sigh, I knew it wouldn't be so easy to intimidate cultivators... But what are they looking forward to?"

The unwillingness and confusion in his heart made Hou Hua continue to charge with his army while staring wide-eyed, searching ahead.

He didn't have to search for long before he saw Zhong Cang, with pure white pupils devoid of any emotion.

In that instant when his eyes met the cold and indifferent eyes of Zhong Cang, a wave of fear and trepidation erupted in Hou Hua's heart.

"Danger!"

"We cannot be enemies with him."

In Hou Hua's eyes, Zhong Cang with his eyes turning white could no longer be called a "human," but rather a "divine being" like a mountain or the heavens.

As Zhong Cang lifted his foot and brought it down, it was as if a divine punishment was being executed.

This scene made Hou Hua instinctively raise his hand, wanting to stop his subordinates from charging forward.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Boom..."

This was the sound of a stampede, causing the earth to tremble.

The sound was majestic and passionate, like a roaring mountain flood or raging sea waves, giving off an unmatched aura of power, as if any living creature in front of them, even heavily armored cavalry, could be torn apart.

And they truly could do so.

Cavalry, especially heavily armored cavalry, were the gods of warfare in ancient feudal societies.

When they were deployed, they could crush any enemy.

Unfortunately, at this moment, they were not dealing with "humans."

"Buzz..."

This soft sound was the sound of Zhong Cang's right foot touching the ground.

The sound was very light, very soft.

But as Zhong Cang's right foot landed, an astonishing scene unfolded.

The gentle sound of the footstep suppressed the thunderous sound of the charging army.

The trembling earth also calmed down as Zhong Cang's foot touched the ground.

At this moment, the fear in Hou Hua's heart reached its peak.

"No!!!"

He instinctively shouted in anger to stop it, but unfortunately, as a weak individual, he couldn't stop anything.

When Zhong Cang's right foot landed, the world fell silent.

The next moment, "Boom..."

An even more massive sound appeared in the array of the charging army.

But this time, the overwhelming sound no longer gave the feeling of being invincible.

Instead, it made people feel a sense of tragedy.

...The immense gravity suddenly descended, and under the weight of that mountain-like gravity, the charging soldiers fell to the ground as if they were being crushed by the heavens.

And this time, the army led by Hou Hua was even more tragic than the legion led by his second son.

The reasons for this were twofold: firstly, Zhong Cang was no longer hiding, and this time he released the Gravity Art with the assistance of the mountainous giant turtle.

The other reason was that the army led by Hou Hua consisted of cavalry, unlike the infantry.

Compared to infantry, cavalry had faster speed and greater impact force.

But because of this, the sudden pressure of gravity had a greater impact on them.

The magnificent galloping of ten thousand horses, under the sudden force of gravity, almost caused all their legs to break simultaneously.

The soldiers on horseback, due to their horses losing their front hooves, were thrown off.

In an instant, the charging army turned into a silent army.

"Crack, crack..."

More than ten thousand horses were all crippled under Zhong Cang's pressure.

The soldiers wearing heavy armor also fell heavily due to the force of gravity, all severely injured.

The tragic casualties caused the land to be filled with cries of sorrow for a while.

This scene also ignited the anger in the intact Innate Martial Master and the leading figure, Hou Hua.

"Bastard, what have you done..."

The heavy casualties suffered by his comrades shattered Hou Hua's rationality, causing him to roar angrily at Zhong Cang, and he charged towards Zhong Cang with a spear in hand.

"Buzz..."

Then, he fell as well.

Without continuing to suppress the heavily injured cavalry unit, the gravitational field was released and retracted.

Soon, Zhong Cang, who was connected to the earth, turned his gaze towards Hou Hua and condensed the mountain-like gravity into a point, pressing it onto him.

Under this concentrated gravity, even a Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator couldn't move.

Hou Hua, who was only an Innate Martial Master, was even more unable to withstand it.

Like an ant, he was easily pressed to the ground by Zhong Cang, unable to even stand up.

Looking down from above, Heavenly Heart·Zhong Cang coldly looked at Hou Hua, the eldest son of the Black Mountain Army, and indifferently spoke:

"You are angry."

Previously, Hou Hua was indeed angry, but when Zhong Cang overturned his palm and looked into his pure white pupils, in an instant, the courage in his heart was extinguished like cold water, completely disappearing.

However, he was ultimately a general who had experienced the battlefield. Although he was suppressed by Zhong Cang's unreasonable strength and feared Zhong Cang's ability to destroy ten thousand troops with a single thought, he did not beg for mercy in a panic, but instead let out a bitter laugh.

"The Dao Sect... cough... Do you want to completely break ties with the Black Mountain Army and become enemies with the Great Xuan Dynasty?"

These words did not make Zhong Cang, in his Heavenly Heart state, change in the slightest. He only indifferently said:

"Firstly, even if the Black Mountain Army is annihilated by us, your emperor would not dare to completely turn against us."

"Secondly, it is not me who is your enemy, but your Black Mountain Army provoking my Cloud Firmament Sect."

"First, you sent a large army to ambush with the Demon Sect, and then ten thousand people charged. Your Black Mountain Army truly treats my Cloud Firmament Sect as nothing."

"I want to know, who gave you the courage to dare to do this... the two hundred thousand army in the Black Prison City? Or your Grandmaster-level legion commanders?"

At this point, the indifferent color in Zhong Cang's pure white eyes dissipated slightly.

However, this did not make Hou Hua feel fortunate. Instead, his fear deepened.

Zhong Cang, who revealed a hint of humanity, was like a child watching ants, asking with great interest:

"Also, I want to know—one person, can I exterminate these two hundred thousand Black Mountain Army soldiers?"
