Because Dongfang Yuliang struck with full force, slaughtering three elite units in a row, the Dongfang tribe began to gain a clear advantage.
"Kill!"
"Let's kill all these lackeys of the Hei family!"
"Kill all the men and take all the women into our tents!"
The morale of the Dongfang allied army soared, and their attacks became fierce and savage, overwhelming the Hei allied forces.
However, Dongfang Yuliang, who had started this, felt a sense of worry.
"Even though we are glorious now, we have used our trump card early. The killing move, Seven Star Lamp, cannot last much longer. If Hei Lou Lan and Chang Shan Yin aren't forced out soon..."
Thinking of this, the cold gleam in Dongfang Yuliang's eyes flared.
His clear and penetrating gaze turned to the central army of the Hei family, where the Hei Qi elite troops were stationed. These troops were extremely strong, far surpassing their peers. Up until now in the battle, this precious force had not yet been deployed, stabilizing the army's formation.
Then, Dongfang Yuliang shifted his gaze to a corner of the battlefield.
There, the Gu Masters of the Ge family were gathered, including Ge Guang, who were fighting fiercely.
Expressionless, Dongfang Yuliang split the Cloud of Star Will into two halves. One half swept toward the Hei Qi elite troops, while the other fell through the air to envelop the Ge tribe.
Seeing the starlight cloud approaching, the expressions of the three great commanders of the Hei Qi army changed.
"Focus on defense! The entire army, activate the War Will Gu!"
At the supreme commander's order, all the leaders of the Hei Qi army vigorously activated their War Will Gu.
The War Will Gu, like the Star Will Gu and Void Will Gu, was one of the Wisdom Path Gu Insects. All the high and low leaders of the Hei Qi elite troops were equipped with War Will Gu ranging from Rank 3 to Rank 4.
These War Will Gu originally acted upon the Hei Qi elite troops themselves. During battle, the War Will Gu would charge into their minds, making them brim with fighting spirit, brave and fearless.
The Cloud of Star Will swooped in, and above the Hei Qi army, a patch of crimson thoughts also rose.
These war wills, though sparse, guarded the Hei Qi elite troops, helping them barely withstand the impact of the Cloud of Star Will.
"The Hei family is indeed a super family. The quality of the elite troops they cultivate is completely different from other tribes, surpassing their peers." Seeing this, Fang Yuan praised inwardly.
These Hei Qi elite troops were all elite Gu Masters carefully selected and constantly accumulated by the Hei family in peacetime. After massive training and huge investments, they were fashioned into their trump card force.
They all had strong wills and naturally possessed resistance against the impact of thoughts. Now, wrapped in war wills, they managed to hold back the Star Will Cloud for the first time since it began ravaging the battlefield.
Of course, a key point here was that Dongfang Yuliang had not gone all out. He had split the Star Cloud into two halves, using only one to strike the Hei Qi army.
The Hei Qi army's impressive performance drew everyone's attention, forming a stark contrast with the other defeated elite units.
On the other side, the Ge family was screaming in misery. Under the vast and majestic bombardment of Star Wills, they collapsed and were massacred in large numbers.
Fang Yuan watched coldly from the sidelines. He used the Wolf Gaze Gu with exquisite skill, allowing him to see the Ge family's tragic state clearly.
The Ge family was just one of his chess pieces, used to disguise his identity. As a chess player, how could he risk himself for a single pawn?
"Still not making a move…" Dongfang Yuliang waited patiently for a while, secretly activating his scouting Gu. If Fang Yuan exerted himself to rescue them, he could accurately locate Fang Yuan's position through the fluctuations of his soul.
But he waited and waited, without Fang Yuan making a move.
The cold and ruthless attitude displayed by the Wolf King sent a chill even through Dongfang Yuliang.
On the other hand, Hei Lou Lan, seeing signs that his Hei Qi army couldn't hold on, quickly flashed over.
"Dongfang Yuliang, prepare to die!" he roared loudly, his voice full of vigor, clearly having healed the internal injuries from the backlash.
Dongfang Yuliang snorted coldly, gushing out a large amount of fresh Star Wills from his mind, charging towards Hei Lou Lan.
The two fiercely clashed in the air, entangled in combat, and for a time, neither could gain the upper hand.
With Hei Lou Lan's distraction, the Star Wills that had plagued the Hei Qi army and the Ge family, lacking reinforcement, dissipated completely after rampaging for a while longer.
The battlefield was chaotic for a moment before returning to a stalemate.
Among the more than ten Rank 4 battle circles, a small half had already decided the victor. The Rank 4 powerhouses were either dead or injured. Wind Demon and Water Demon were still entangled. Shadow Swordsman Bian Sixuan and Flying Lightning Dong Pokong shuttled across the battlefield.
Both of them had powerful movement Gu, allowing them to easily escape even when intercepted by Rank 4 Gu Masters.
They continuously searched for traces of Fang Yuan, but unfortunately, Fang Yuan kept hidden and never made a move, causing their search to be futile.
Meanwhile, in the Ni Yu Blessed Land, a male and female Gu Immortal sat facing each other, sipping tea while watching the smoke shadow in the center of the stone table.
The smoke shadow churned endlessly, displaying the great battle between the Hei family and the Dongfang family clearly, allowing every subtle corner to be observed.
The female Gu Immortal, Tan Biya, withdrew her gaze and smiled at the male Gu Immortal, Dongfang Changfan. "It seems this great battle still depends on the outcome between Dongfang Yuliang and Hei Lou Lan. Whoever wins will gain the upper hand. This young man Dongfang Yuliang is not bad. Though his military strength is weaker than the Hei family's, he has managed to create such a deadlocked battle situation. It seems Brother Changfan's guidance has been quite effective."
Dongfang Changfan, wearing a high crown and an ancient face, had hundreds of thousands of glazed lights flashing in his eyes. As the only Wisdom Path Gu Immortal of the Dongfang family, he shook his head faintly, his tone indifferent.
"Actually, I only gave Dongfang Yuliang two or three sentences of guidance. But this young man is not bad; he has his own ideas. After returning, he widely publicized it, using my influence to successfully rise in the ranks. He has some talent and knows how to work hard. I have already promised him that if he can take over the Royal Court, I will treat his sister's illness and consider him as one of my successors."
"Take over the Royal Court?" Tan Biya was slightly startled before letting out a light laugh. "Forgive me for being blunt, Brother, but in this session of the Royal Court Contest, I'm afraid the Dongfang tribe doesn't have much hope. Among the major dark horses this year, Yelu Sang of the Yelu family is widely favored. This time, the Yelu family's Supreme Elder, Yelu Lai, secretly entrusted an Immortal Gu to Yelu Sang. This is an open secret in the circles."
"Although the Yelu family has the Golden Bloodline and is one of the limited super families in the Northern Plains, they haven't taken over the Royal Court for eight consecutive sessions. Because of this, Yelu Lai was recently publicly ridiculed by Hei Cheng of the Hei family. Using the Immortal Gu this time is probably to regain face." After Dongfang Changfan finished speaking, he let out a soft laugh, a hint of disdain in his laughter.
