Chapter 762: War Outside the City
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
War!
This was Phantasmal Shadow’s decision and choice!
One of the reasons that drove her to make the decision was because Happy was already very close to Yangzhou, and he will soon arrive at the place.
The second reason was because she did not want to leave behind a bad impression on Happy and make him think that she was using the chance that Mu Clan was in danger and was thinking about subsequently using Happy’s prestige to gain some benefits from this.
Wind Assault Tower must contribute, show their stance, and display their strength, otherwise, they will not be able to find their footing in the Chinese world of martial artists. They will not be able to take the mantle of the fourth top-class sect in the game!
‘Not only will we need to fight this battle, we must also do it well.’
Phantasmal Shadow stared at the forces from Mu Clan drawing closer to them, and she made her decision in her heart.
Silver Wolf had managed to break out of the city with only more than a little more than three hundred men while he was under the encirclement of more than tens of thousands of enemy soldiers. This was a great battle achievement and glory.
If Wind Assault Tower’s two thousand soldiers could not even block one single charge from Towering Place, they can only dream about doing anything great and forget about standing at the same level as Mu Clan, Class One Hall, and Chivalry Sect!
Phantasmal Shadow said nothing. She made a gesture, and her group calmly split up to form a path so that Mu Clan could get through.
Silver Wolf walked ahead of the others, but he soon lingered at the back of the group, and in the end, he stayed beside Phantasmal Shadow.
Along with him were Little North and around one hundred Mu Clan elites who were injured relatively lightly and had recovered from their injuries. This group of people who slaughtered their way out of Yangzhou City had at least ten or twenty Towering Palace members’ blood in their hands, and each of them were stained with a bloody and grim air.
Phantasmal Shadow usually disliked this presence, but when she saw the fighting will on the Mu Clan members’ faces and their unyielding gazes despite the fact that they were injured, she was still deeply shocked.
“Big Brother Silver Wolf, you can let me handle those people from Towering Palace. Please go to the back and rest for a while.”
“This bit of injury is nothing,” Silver Wolf said calmly, “What I want to do the most right now is to kill more Towering Palace members.”
He stopped talking for a moment before he said to Phantasmal Shadow, “Tower Master Shadow, Towering Palace only has Vast Heaven and Grim Green who can serve as a threat to you, and Wind Assault Tower should be able to handle the rest, but there are more than thirty of those elites from America. You must be careful of them. These people all have strengths equal to Grim Green.”
Phantasmal Shadow said nothing, only frowned.
Even though there were countless battle replays of the battle at Mu Clan’s branch in Yangzhou City, most of them were recorded from the distance. The real elites did not release any battle replays, and there were only some battle replays that showed shocking instant kills, causing no one to truly understand the situation inside. Hence, Phantasmal Shadow did not know the details inside.
However, based on how Silver Wolf and the others managed to rush out of Yangzhou City, she thought that it should not be hard for them to block off those Towering Palace members for a while.
But now, when she heard Silver Wolf heaping such praises on those people, her gaze when she stared at the black dots at the horizon instantly became much grimmer, and she no longer insisted on charging at Towering Palace’s forces with just her own tower members.

Rumble! Rumble!
The sounds of horse hooves thundered.
The people from Towering Palace chased after Mu Clan’s team in frenzy. When their scouts came back to tell them that a large group of people with unknown identities had appeared ahead of them and had met up with Mu Clan’s people, their group slowed down.
“A group with unknown identities? How many are there?”
“Two thousand!”
“That isn’t a big number, but it isn’t small either.”
Vast Heaven was shocked. Right now, he had an inexplicable fear toward the people who appeared outside Yangzhou City. It had to be known that Mu Clan’s four thousand had already gotten rid of more than twenty thousand of Towering Palace’s members, and he brought less than five thousand outside this time. His forces at the back were also rather scattered.
“Are they Mu Clan’s forces?” Grim Green asked with a sense of urgency.
“I don’t think so. Mu Clan’s forces have to get through our blockades, and it’s impossible for them to get here. Before our attack against the branch, no one has ever entered this region.”
“Then who are they?”
Grim Green and Vast Heaven looked at each other at a loss.
No matter what, Yangzhou was their headquarters, but they had not known about this large group of people gathering together and hiding in their area!
“They stopped. By the looks of it, once they gather together, they’re prepared to fight against us!”
The replies from the scouts caused their hearts to become even heavier.
*****
“What should we do now?”
“Happy is on his way to Yangzhou. If we continue fighting, we might have to fight against Happy outside the city.”
Grim Green and Vast Heaven talked about this quietly.
Rumble!
At that moment, the ground trembled, and it seemed like even more people caught up to them.
Before they turned their heads around, someone had already reported the situation to them.
“The palace master heard about the situation and sent reinforcements. She sent word that you are to kill all the forces across you regardless of the cost.”
“The palace master sent people over?”
Vast Heaven and Grim Green looked at each other and immediately sensed that this time, their palace master might have already made up her mind, and she will not rest until she accomplished her goal!
With one order, thousands of soldiers executed their formation, and they began charging forward on the plains!
Rumble!
The ground trembled violently under the horses’ hooves!
*****
Even if the Wind Assault Tower members were prepared to face the charge from thousands of martial artists, at that moment, when they truly faced it, it was another situation entirely.
The astonishing momentum caused by a charge made by thousands of people formed an invisible force that pointed straight at them.
Their horses shuddered.
The people and horses retreated nonstop.
Their formation began showing slight signs of disorder.
The astonishing presence instantly destroyed the calm momentum those two thousand forces built up.
Phantasmal Shadow noticed the situation immediately, and she had shock appear on her face. She cried out for her people to stay in formation.
“You’re using a defensive formation on a plain?” Silver Wolf was a little speechless.
Phantasmal Shadow might be smart, but she was clearly lacking in experience.
“You will either charge, or all of us will die here!”
Those two simple phrases gave Phantasmal Shadow a choice.
When she saw that the intensity of the rumbles from the ground were getting stronger, and her enemy’s momentum had reached its peak, Phantasmal Shadow became incredibly anxious.
If they charged forward now, they will not be able to build up their momentum at all, and they will still be in absolute disadvantage.
“Listen to me, I won’t harm you!” Silver Wolf brought out a batch of boomerangs from his Universe Bag, and his expression was incredibly solemn.
‘We’ll have to fight!’
Phantasmal Shadow lifted her whip high.
Crack!
A loud whip crack formed a sonic boom in the air, and she gave her orders.
“Charge!”
A red figure flashed. Silver Wolf was the first to charge out of the formation!
Little North, Phantasmal Shadow, Wu Kuo followed closely behind him.
Then, they were followed by Mu Clan’s forces!
Crack!
The group of people had long since been restless. In the end, they drew their whips and swung it against their horses, and in pain, their horses temporarily forgot their fear and charged forward without regard for anything else.
More than two thousand people faced Towering Palace’s charge, which was made up of more than five thousand people, and they violently launched their counterattack!
The ground trembled.
All the people who joined the battle felt hot blood pump in their chests, and their blood boiled while their heads were filled with raging excitement.
“Kill them!”
No one dared to retrieve their steeds at that moment, and no one released any arrows. No one can say whether any archer will be able to target their enemies accurately when they charged forward under this kind of speed, and they will even have their momentum lost during the first clash.
If anyone looked from above, they will see two groups of people with a mighty momentum and a shocking speed move through each other’s camps once they got through the first clash.
A chaotic battle began!
