We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 324: Whose Fine Young Man Is This?

After three months of marching, Xiao Mo and the others finally arrived at the border city between Qin Kingdom and Wei Kingdom, Lookout City.

For Qin Kingdom, Lookout City and the two subsidiary connected cities beside it formed an unbreakable defensive line but for Wei Kingdom, these three cities were like a knife, never knowing when it would strike.

Previously, relations between Qin Kingdom and Wei Kingdom werenʼt particularly good, but they werenʼt particularly bad either. Both sides had coexisted peacefully.

Qin Kingdom hadnʼt previously made a move on Wei Kingdom, firstly because they felt it wasnʼt necessary for the time being, and secondly because they didnʼt take such a small nation as Wei Kingdom seriously but recently, after Wei Kingdomʼs crown prince took power, he allied with the State of Wei and adopted aggressive national policies, even wanting to encroach on Qin Kingdom.

How could Qin Kingdom possibly tolerate such a tiny nation as Wei Kingdom daring to provoke them?

The lord of Lookout City was named Qin Huo, the biological younger brother of the current Qin Kingdom’s ruler. He was enfeoffed as the Flame Prince, General Conquering Wei, commanding three hundred thousand troops of Qin Kingdom.

Regarding this Flame Prince, Xiao Mo had also learned a bit from his comrades during the march.

He heard this Flame Prince was clear in rewards and punishments, always charging at the very front in every major battle, truly incredibly brave. Yet as a military general, he was meticulous despite his rough appearance and treated his subordinates well.

Overall, this wasnʼt a general who rose through connections but someone with real talent but of course, the current Qin Kingdom’s ruler was a wise ruler. Those royal family members without much ability had long been kept as mascots. How could they possibly be entrusted with important responsibilities?

Before long, the three thousand Iron Tiger warriors were fully integrated into the main army. However, the Iron Tiger Army still wore their own uniforms.
Xiao Mo heard that when the two armies clashed, if there was no cavalry, the three thousand Iron Tiger Army soldiers would charge onto the battlefield first, essentially the vanguard.

And those who charged first generally died the fastest but if he feared death, Xiao Mo wouldnʼt have joined the Iron Tiger Army.

On the evening of the third day after Xiao Mo arrived at Lookout City, dinner time for the entire army came somewhat earlier than usual.

This meal was even extremely sumptuous, with chicken, duck, and mutton, all large dishes but the only flaw was they couldnʼt drink alcohol.

Early dinner, big fish and meat, no alcohol allowed.

Xiao Mo and the others knew that most likely tonight, there would be some military action.

Very possibly, battle would begin tonight.

After eating and drinking their fill, the messenger delivered orders—everyone should sleep in their clothes tonight.

That night, Xiao Mo lay on the hard wooden bed. Ma Jinpeng, Hei Daniu, and the others likewise couldnʼt fall asleep.

Xiao Mo could even see Hong Bo trembling all over.

”Big Brother Xiao, are we going into battle tonight?” Hong Bo turned over and asked Xiao Mo.

Although Hong Bo wore a smile, he was visibly nervous.

”Mm.” Xiao Mo nodded, ”If nothing unexpected happens, tonight, we fight.”

”I see.” Hong Bo hugged his blanket tightly without speaking, just wrapping himself very tightly but after a while, Hong Bo continued speaking to Xiao Mo, ”Big Brother Xiao, youʼve read many books and are more learned than us. Tell me, what kind of feeling is death?”

”Death?”

Xiao Mo thought for a moment and said, ”Death can be divided into quite a few types. If you die slowly, youʼll feel yourself getting increasingly tired, and finally, itʼs like falling asleep. If you die quickly, then at first youʼll feel intense pain, but it only lasts an instant. Then itʼs also like falling asleep.”

”Big Brother Xiao, the way you talk, itʼs almost like youʼve died before.” Hong Bo said with a smile.

Xiao Mo was stunned, then smiled to cover it up, ”Didnʼt you say I read a lot? Itʼs all just from books.”

”Hehehe... I really should read more. Big Brother Xiao, after you put it that way, I donʼt feel so nervous anymore.” Hong Bo rubbed his nose.

”Hong Bo, youʼd better not be nervous. Among us ten brothers, you boy have the smallest courage.” Zhao Wei, who had been listening to their conversation on the other side, spoke up teasingly, ”Donʼt go onto the battlefield unable to even grip your blade. We wonʼt have time to save you.”

”Go away!” Hong Bo stretched out his hairy leg and kicked him a few times, ”Youʼre the one who canʼt grip his blade. This time on the field, Iʼll cut off at least a hundred heads!”

”If you can cut off a hundred, then Iʼll do two hundred.”

”Iʼll do three hundred.”

”Iʼll do four hundred!”

”Brag all you want. If you can kill four hundred, Iʼll give you my head.”

In the tent, all ten werenʼt sleeping, bragging one after another.

Xiao Mo just smiled at them without any comment.

Actually, Xiao Mo could tell that each of them was more or less nervous. They were just using words to numb themselves.

”Woooo!!!”

An incense stickʼs time later, a horn sounded throughout the military camp.

Without a word, everyone immediately climbed out of bed and donned their armor.

It was tonight that Xiao Mo removed the black iron that had been bound to his limbs.

The instant the black iron was removed, Xiao Moʼs realm was no longer suppressed. Violent spiritual power and blood energy filled every part of his flesh and blood.

Xiao Mo even felt he could barely suppress his realm, ready to break through at any moment.

Taking a deep breath, after Xiao Mo calmed his spiritual power and blood energy, he moved his muscles and bones.

He felt the armor on his body was as light as summer clothes, his body as nimble as a flying swallow.

”Big Brother...”

Zhao Wei and the others looked at Xiao Mo not far away and swallowed hard.

The blood energy Xiao Mo instantly emitted just now made them feel somewhat alarmed.

That feeling was like a fierce beast having all its chains unlocked, finally released from its cage.

”Letʼs go. Time to assemble.” Xiao Mo picked up his long spear, ”Remember, donʼt think about what ʼdeathʼ feels like. What we need to do is make the other side die! Got it?”

”Yes, Big Brother!”

Everyone hurriedly grabbed their weapons and followed Big Brother out of the tent.

Before long, the three hundred thousand troops finished assembling.

The Flame Prince Qin Huo, wearing armor, stood on the city wall. His gaze swept over the densely packed army as he slowly spoke, his voice reaching everyoneʼs ears with the aid of spiritual power amplification, ”Wei Kingdom broke faith, took benefits from our Qin Kingdom yet colluded with the State of Wei. How is such conduct different from a petty villain? If we donʼt punish this nation, how can our Qin Kingdom stand in the world?! This great battle is just the beginning. When will it end? Not until Wei Kingdom is annihilated!”

”Annihilate the nation!”

”Annihilate the nation!”

The three hundred thousand troops shouted in unison, their voices shaking heaven and earth, resounding through the clouds.

”All troops, listen to the order! Deploy! Break the city!”

Lookout Cityʼs gates opened.

Qin Kingdomʼs three hundred thousand troops surged out, charging toward Wei Kingdomʼs border city, Listening Tide City.

The lord of Listening Tide City wasnʼt a fool.

He had long anticipated that Qin Huo would very likely attack at night to catch them off guard, so during this time, Listening Tide Cityʼs soldiers had been sleeping with their weapons.

Sure enough, he heard the scoutsʼ report, Qin Kingdom had mobilized troops!

”Relay my generalʼs order! The entire army prepares to leave the city to meet the enemy!”

The lord of Listening Tide City said excitedly, as if he had finally waited for this day.

”My lord, absolutely not!” The staff officer hurriedly advised, ”Now that Qin Kingdomʼs morale is high, our army should defend without going out, wear down their sharp spirit, wait for reinforcements, then find an opportunity to defeat them in one stroke!”

”Hehehe, Qin Kingdomʼs morale is high? Isnʼt our armyʼs morale also high? Not to mention theyʼve rushed ten li! The enemy is tired while weʼre at full strength. How could we fear them?!”

”General!”

”No need for more words. After this general cuts off Qin Huoʼs head, receiving a fief and becoming prime minister begins today!”

Xiao Mo held his long spear and rushed toward Listening Tide City together with the main army.

Just as Xiao Mo, aided by the moonlight, could faintly see the walls of Listening Tide City, Listening Tide City and the two cities beside it opened wide!

Wei Kingdomʼs armyʼs battle cries shook heaven and earth as they charged at Xiao Moʼs Qin Kingdom army.

”Follow this prince and charge!” Qin Huo shouted and led five thousand elite cavalry to kill toward the enemy formation.

At the same time, the opposing cavalry likewise crashed head-on.

The great battle fully erupted!

Both armies collided like torrents.

Xiao Mo held his long spear and thrust it out, piercing through an enemy soldier, then continued charging forward.

The long spear in Xiao Moʼs hand was like stringing candied hawthorn, piercing through four or five enemies, then with a forceful swing, these four or five corpses knocked away several more enemies charging from the side.

”Big Brother! Iʼll help you!”

Zhao Wei leaped up. The broad blade in his hand chopped down, instantly splitting an enemy soldier in half.

”Ahhhhh!”

Hei Daniu wielded a meteor hammer. With each hammer strike, an enemy soldier was smashed into a meat pie!

On Hong Boʼs side, he thrust his long blade into an enemy soldierʼs chest.

That feeling of flesh being separated by the long blade made Hong Bo momentarily feel nauseated.

For most Iron Tiger Army recruits, this was their first time killing but the battlefield wouldnʼt give them much time to ”savor” it.

After they killed this one, they had to kill the second, then keep advancing, keep killing!

Kill until there was no one left in front of them.

Kill until the horn sounded.

Kill until they died.

Only then could they stop.

Before he knew it, Xiao Moʼs hands already held the lives of thirty people.

He had entered a state of selflessness, his entire being merged with this battlefield.

In his eyes, only enemies. In his heart, only killing.

Even gradually, Xiao Mo felt that the God-Slaying Spear he was using seemed to be gradually peeling away from his mind.

This feeling was extremely mysterious, as if every move and style being peeled away merged into his own flesh and blood.

He no longer needed to focus on specific spear techniques.

Even an ordinary thrust from him was the God-Slaying Spear.

Xiao Mo felt he had found his own method.

That was to comprehend spear techniques on the battlefield, to baptize his long spear in blood and flesh!

His spear was born for the battlefield!

Finding his own path, Xiao Moʼs thoughts became incomparably clear.

”Boom boom boom!”

Xiao Moʼs spear shot out like a dragon, his spear momentum like thunder.

His long spear carried thunder.

Each thrust brought rolling thunder.

Any enemy soldiers who came near Xiao Mo either died by his hand or were blasted into blood mist by the spear energy mixed with thunder energy.

Gradually, when enemy soldiers hadnʼt even gotten close to Xiao Mo, fear already arose in their hearts but even so, no matter how afraid they were in their hearts, no matter how certain their death, this well-trained Wei Kingdom army still charged at Xiao Mo one after another.

On the battlefield, it all depended on momentum.

What they needed to do was exhaust Xiao Moʼs momentum to death!

”Arrogant brat, you really think youʼre invincible? Iʼll take you on!”

With a resonant voice falling, an iron-armored burly man ten chi tall, wielding two mountain-opening giant axes, chopped down at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo couldnʼt dodge in time and could only block with his spear horizontally.

”Boom!”

The instant the giant axe struck Xiao Moʼs spear shaft, the blood energy exploding from both sides sent all surrounding enemies flying.

Blood trickled from the corner of Xiao Moʼs mouth, his tigerʼs mouth went numb, and he felt his entire body was about to be shattered.

With Xiao Mo at the center, a large pit two zhang in diameter was even smashed out.

”Big Brother!”

”Donʼt come over!”

Zhao Wei wanted to go help, but Xiao Mo directly stopped him.

”Is that all your strength? Didnʼt eat enough?”

Xiao Mo forcefully lifted his spear and sent the opponent flying.

Before the opponent could steady his footing, the long spear in Xiao Moʼs hand had already reached him.

”Hahaha! Come! Fight to the fullest!”

The giant axe man fiercely chopped at Xiao Mo. Each axe cleaved a crack in the ground.

Although the giant axe man had natural divine strength, Xiao Moʼs strength was also considerable.

Moreover, not only did Xiao Mo meet each of the opponentʼs giant axes head-on, his movements were even ghost-like, his spear techniques varied and unpredictable.

After twenty rounds, this burly man already sensed something was wrong.

Although both were at the mid-stage of Cave Mansion realm, this boy was like a fierce beast, frightening enough to alarm the heart. His strength was even three parts greater than his own!

After another thirty rounds, the giant axe manʼs body, along with his armor, had already been pierced with one blood hole after another by Xiao Mo.

When he raised his head, still wanting to resist, the long spear in Xiao Moʼs hand had already pierced through his head.

The giant axe man crashed to the ground with a thunderous sound, but Xiao Mo didnʼt even spare him a glance.

He had already set his sights on an enemy soldier on horseback cutting down others.

Xiao Mo leaped up, crushing the heads of enemy soldiers one after another.

When this enemy soldier reacted, a bolt of thunder had already streaked across the sky. Xiao Mo, holding his long spear, pierced through him.

Xiao Mo seized the opponentʼs horse and harvested the heads of enemy soldiers one after another on the battlefield.

”Whoever takes his head shall be enfeoffed as commander of a thousand households!”

Because Xiao Mo was too arrogant on the battlefield, the enemy army quickly noticed this prodigy and directly put a bounty on Xiao Moʼs head.

In an instant, three Cave Mansion realm enemy soldiers surrounded and attacked Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo fought one against three, not only showing no disadvantage but even beheading one person after a hundred rounds.

The Flame Prince Qin Huo, who was fighting not far away, seeing this scene, felt incomparably exhilarated.

”Boy! Catch!”

He removed the wine flask from his waist and threw it toward Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo caught it smoothly, tilted his head back for a hearty drink, then threw it back before continuing to kill deep into the enemy army.

Wherever the hem of his garment passed, there was only blood and thunder.

Qin Huo watched this fellow wreaking havoc on the battlefield and couldnʼt help asking the deputy general beside him, ”Whose fine young man is this?”

”General, we also donʼt know...” the deputy general said helplessly.

”Son of a bitch! If you donʼt know, then ask!”

Qin Huo gathered spiritual power in his throat, his voice spreading out, ”Boy! What is your name? Announce it!”

Xiao Mo thrust his spear and killed an enemy soldier, then continued charging forward. His voice was pulled farther and farther by his fierce horse, ”Xiao Manor, Xiao Mo!”
