The Great Ruler

Chapter 874 - Five Troops

"Since Commander Xiao Tian has the courage, then go ahead."

Zhantai Liuli said lightly. Although her expression was calm, everyone could sense the chill in her tone.

"Since that's the case, then let me test out how formidable this Four Spiritual Battle Formation is for everyone."

Xiao Tian wasn't bothered by Zhantai Liuli's coldness as he grinned. He exchanged a glance with Liu Yan and waved his hand.

Boom!

Along with Xiao Tian's hand waving down, a torrential Battle Will swept out from the rear of the massive allied forces. Everyone could see a massive troop soaring into the sky, it was the immediate troop of Xiao Tian, the Sky Profound Division.

The amount of this Sky Profound Division had reached a scale of 15,000. In terms of numbers, even the Mountain Splitting Troop, which had the highest amount in the alliance of the Great Havenlaw Domain, paled in comparison.

However, just when everyone thought that Xiao Tian was going to lead the Sky Profound Division into the Battle Formation, the latter faintly smiled and swept a cold glance at Mu Chen, before waving his hand once again.

Boom!

Another powerful Battle Will burst out and everyone looked at the direction of the Battle Will. Thereafter, they were surprised to realise that another troop that was roughly 10,000 in number appeared beside the Sky Profound Division.

It was also a troop that belonged to the Sky Profound Palace. It's just that it didn't belong to Xiao Tian. But judging from Xiao Tian's current looks, he was actually intending to lead two troops into the Four Spiritual Battle Formation.

This action had undoubtedly caused the hearts of many forces to tremble, before whispers started to uncontrollably to spread out.

"This Xiao Tian can actually control two troops at the same time?!"

"This should be his trump card. If he had used this when he fought with Mu Chen back then, I'm afraid that Mu Chen wouldn't be in a good situation!"

"This Xiao Tian is indeed formidable."

"…"

Hearing those discussions, Xiao Tian's gaze had also stopped on Mu Chen, before the corner of his lips rose into an eerie arc. This reserved troop was his trump card. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to pay some price to command this troop, he would have already used it during his earlier fight with Mu Chen and suppress him, and not let him have such an impressive performance.

Mu Chen had sensed Xiao Tian's eerie gaze, but he couldn't be bothered about it. He hung his eyes low and a smear of surprise flashed in his eyes. Clearly, this move from Xiao Tian had slightly exceeded his expectations.

He could sense that despite this reserved troop not being as elite as the Sky Profound Division, it definitely wasn't weak. Furthermore, the crucial factor was that this troop had high compatibility with Xiao Tian.

That meant that Xiao Tian and this troop had undergone a long period of training together.

Mu Chen inwardly sighed at this fact. After all, his time in the Great Havenlaw Domain was too short. Therefore, his preparations were inferior to Xiao Tian's, who had been preparing for years in the Sky Profound Palace.

But even if Mu Chen was surprised by this reserved troop from Xiao Tian, it was merely at that. Commanding troops around 20,000 in number was indeed formidable, but just this alone was insufficient for Mu Chen to admit defeat.

As he pondered, a sharpness flashed in Mu Chen's squinted eyes.

Xiao Tian moved and appeared before the two troops. He looked down at everyone, feeling the fear and revere in those gazes and his smile grew even more evident. Thereafter, he no longer hesitated. He waved his hand and a yell rang out.

"Charge through the Battle Formation with me!"

"Roger!"

The troops yelled out in coordination as the voice rumbled like thunder, causing the ground to tremble as a powerful gale swept out from their Battle Wills.

Zhantai Liuli lightly looked at the powerful might of the troop behind Xiao Tian and then looked at Mu Chen. "King Mu, if you are also worried, then you can go ahead of me."

Hearing her words, Mu Chen smiled. "I trust Miss Zhantai. So you can go ahead."

Although he had doubts about Zhantai Liuli, there was no need for him to interfere since Xiao Tian had already taken the first step.

Zhantai Liuli cast a profound look at Mu Chen with a light smile, before gently nodding her head. She turned her head around and looked at Xiao Tian and the large force led by him with her lips gently lifting. It was a mocking smile.

It was only for a brief moment before she hid that smile. Others did not notice it, but only Mu Chen, who had his guard up against her, had noticed it through the corner of his eyes and his heart violently trembled.

Zhantai Liuli lifted her hand and gently waved it. Her clear voice resounded above the plains. "Azure Troop, heed my order!"

"Roger!"

A thunderous roar abruptly boomed, causing the hearts of countless experts to tremble, before raising their heads. There was a patch of eye-catching clouds above the sky.

Those weren't real clouds, but an extremely powerful troop donned in crystal armour. The armour looked to have been forged from azure stones and an abnormal fluctuation spread out.

"This troop…"

When this troop appeared, even Mu Chen had abruptly squinted his eyes. Because he realised that the scale of this troop has reached a stunning 30,000!

Furthermore, all of them belonged to a single troop, since the undulations coming from them were the same.

"This Zhantai Liuli has hidden too deeply." Mu Chen's heart slightly trembled. Previously, when the allied forces charged their way through, he had examined the troop of the Divine Pavilion but he had not discovered this Azure Troop. Clearly, Zhantai Liuli had purposely hidden them into the other troops of the Divine Pavilion.

This 30,000 troop had practically suppressed Xiao Tian's momentum in an instant.

Xiao Tian's face was unsightly at this scene, before faintly laughing a long while later, "A troop of 30,000, Miss Zhantai has to be cautious and not force yourself, in case you suffer the counter of the Battle Will to your will."

Controlling Battle Will wasn't that easy. The massive Battle Will contained the Spiritual Energy and will of countless warriors, which required a powerful will from the commander to control it. If the will of the commander wasn't strong enough, they would suffer the violent counterattack of the Battle Will onto their own will and turn into a retard.

This was also why the powerful Mountain Splitting Troop had been split into several Commanders. That's because there weren't any Commanders that was daring enough to control the entire Mountain Splitting Troop.

"Commander Xiao Tian doesn't have to worry about that." Zhantai Liuli indifferently replied, before looking at Mu Chen. "King Mu, this Four Spiritual Battle Formation is not easy. So it might be a little too forceful for your Nine Nether Troop."

Zhantai Liuli wasn't mocking him, but speaking the truth. That's because the Nine Nether Troop of the Nine Nether Palace was just 5,000. Not to mention comparing it with Zhantai Liuli's Azure Troop, even Xiao Tian's Sky Profound Division was three times more than the Nine Nether Troop. And clearly, the warriors of Mu Chen's Nine Nether Troop weren't powerful warriors that could compete with a hundred thousand by themselves individually. Therefore, regardless of how capable he was, he couldn't charge through the Four Spiritual Battle Formation by only relying on the Nine Nether Troop.

Hearing her words, Mu Chen gave Zhantai Liuli a warm smile, before looking at the Kings.

"If there's a need, King Mu can take our troops as long as you can command them." Seeing Mu Chen's gaze, the Kings said without hesitation.

Mu Chen cupped his hands as he thanked them, before pausing for a brief moment and revealed a dazzling smile on his handsome face. "Then I'll have to borrow all four of your troops."

"Four troops? Four troops?!"

The smile hung on the faces of the Kings froze, even the leaders of the other forces had widened their eyes and looked at Mu Chen as if they had seen a ghost.

Not only them, but even Nine Nether was also looking at Mu Chen in astonishment. She never expected Mu Chen to borrow four troops in one go. By including the Nine Nether Troop, then wouldn't Mu Chen have to command five troops?!

Those were five completely different troops. Combining all of them together, their amount even exceeded 30,000! How could it be that easy to command them?!

Zhantai Liuli's face also had a hint of surprise, before returning back normal a brief moment later and gave a deep look at Mu Chen.

"Hmph, a brat that is overestimating his own ability!"

Xiao Tian coldly sounded out. In his view, Mu Chen was doing it on purpose in order to not lose out to himself, thus wanting to borrow the other troops of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

If an issue arose with his command, they wouldn't even need to charge at the Battle Formation and Mu Chen would be reduced to a retard by the violent Battle Will.

"King Mu…"

The Mountain Splitting King and the other Kings also recovered from their shock as they looked at Mu Chen. But when they saw Mu Chen's calm countenance, they knew that Mu Chen wasn't joking with them.

The Kings all exchanged a look and could only clench their teeth, before they said, "Since you're so confident, then we'll place all of our troops with you!"

At this point in time, they could only choose to believe that Mu Chen was capable in commanding the Battle Will of five different troops.

Mu Chen disregarded those gazes that were directed at him as if they were looking at a madman. He solemnly looked at the Kings before cupping his hands. "Thanks."

He did not speak any further, but looked at the troops of the Great Havenlaw Domain and gently waved his hand.

Boom!

Five different troops abruptly soared into the sky. The massive appearance was even stronger than the Sky Profound Division and Azure Troop.

After all, it was a total of five troops!

Mu Chen moved out and appeared before the five troops. He disregarded all those surprised gazes and looked at Xiao Tian, before gesturing with his hand.

"Commander Xiao Tian, please make your move!"
