Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1755: Chapter 557: Outsmarted by One’s Own Cleverness, Powerless and Eliminated (Part 3)

Director Yuwen, you’ve finally arrived!

At the front of the rebel forces, Xiang Liang, mixed within the crowd, suddenly let out a sigh of relief, his tense demeanor instantly relaxed quite a bit.

The appearance of Yuwen Dao meant that the Xia Army was not far.

The time he painstakingly fought to gain had ultimately proved its worth.

“Yuwen Dao, it turns out that Great Xia is the one causing chaos in Evergreen Valley, I’ll kill you!”

Cai Qiuhu had witnessed the entirety of the Southern Slope battle, naturally familiar with Yuwen Dao. In fact, the moment Yuwen Dao appeared, he immediately released his mind to sense the situation within the valley, detecting that the Xia Army hadn’t yet arrived. Unable to suppress his fury, he immediately soared into the sky, heading straight for Yuwen Dao.

If Yuwen Dao were hiding among the rebels, it wouldn’t be so easy to attack him. But standing so arrogantly in mid-air above the rebel forces provided Cai Qiuhu with an opportunity he wouldn’t miss.

One of the four marshals of Great Xia, the Director of the Military Department, Yuwen Dao’s status in Great Xia needed no explanation. Yet, he only possessed Xianyang Level cultivation; if he could be slain here, it would be like extracting some interest from Great Xia in advance.

After all, possessing Tribulation Body cultivation, facing tens of thousands of rebels, Cai Qiuhu might be overwhelmed, unable to exert his full strength. But now, with Yuwen Dao as the target, his actions became much fiercer.

The tribulation qi encircled the long blade, drawing out a flame in mid-air, almost instantly pressing toward Yuwen Dao’s face. Cai Qiuhu didn’t waste words, the blade slashed down from the air, aiming directly for the top of Yuwen Dao’s head.

Whoosh…

The hundred-meter-long blade, coated with Fire Tribulation Qi, suddenly illuminated the night sky outside the valley entrance, resembling a molten fissure in the heavens. The fierce momentum of the blade made the rebels below hold their breath, their pupils filled with astonishment.

As for the five thousand elite troops of Cai Qiu who had already charged out of the ravine, along with the main forces of Cai Qiu finally arriving at the rear, their expressions were incredibly enthusiastic, just waiting for their Little Landgrave to bring down this Xia commander from the sky.

Clang…

“Little Landgrave, don’t waste time here, quickly go to Lin Chu County! Go too late, and your father might be killed by Chu Longteng!”

Blade colliding mid-air, smashing against a narrow long blade, erupted an invisible shockwave in the air, instantly sweeping away the molten lava ignited by the Fire Tribulation Qi.

Staring at the black-clothed man blocking the path, Cai Qiuhu’s expression instantly became frozen, a mix of bewilderment and horror in his eyes.

“Xia Hong… weren’t you severely injured by my father, how come…”

Yuwen Dao had already been blasted away by the shockwave over a hundred meters away, watching the intertwined blades of Xia Hong and Cai Qiuhu ahead, his eyes filled with shock and awe.

He had remained behind the Cai Qiu armies without revealing himself, worried the Tribulation Body Realm expert within the Cai Qiu forces might strike him.

His caution was warranted, though Cai Qianshan had left, he had left Cai Qiuhu behind. If he’d tried any tricks inside Bone-Eroding Path earlier, he might have met a terrible fate.

But now, daring to appear so openly, he naturally had his reasons.

In the earlier Battle at the South Exit, the Lord battling Cai Qianshan hadn’t sustained any serious injuries at all; it was all an act, which he had just learned.

This time, not just unifying the Southern Slope, Great Xia might directly extend its reach to Moao River!

This thought flashed through Yuwen Dao’s mind, then he looked ahead at Lord Xia Hong confronting Cai Qiuhu, his eyes filled with respect, and his face was evidently more enthusiastic.

But Xia Hong, at this moment, was oblivious to Yuwen Dao’s thoughts, slightly teasing Cai Qiuhu with his gaze, speaking slowly:

“Were it not for pretending to be severely injured, how could Cai Qianshan have confidently led his troops to Lin Chu County? Little Landgrave, Evergreen Valley cannot be saved, and Lin Chu County will likely fall too…”

At this point, Xia Hong paused, watching Cai Qiuhu’s expression grow darker, unable to resist provoking further as he heightened his tone and continued:

“Your Cai Qiu has already been knocked out!”

Knocked out.

The Moao River struggle no longer has any role for Cai Qiu!

Cai Qiuhu instantly grasped the meaning behind Xia Hong’s words, his pupils instantly filled with blood, rage surged, and his entire demeanor grew manic.

“Arrogant!”
