Cheng Qing heard the commotion at the stronghold's gate.
The seventy to eighty wolves all descended at the same time, roaring angrily as they charged towards the hillside. Naturally, their movements were not small.
He saw this scene.
The corners of his mouth curled up even more.
At this moment, not far from Cheng Qing, a Sumeru Seventh Stage wolfwalker raised his head from within the cloud of dust after using a powerful attack to kill the cultivators of the An Tian Sect.
He saw Cheng Qing standing on top of the stone wall like a king looking down on all around him. His eyes turned red as he let out a strange roar. Then, he ran towards him with the axe in his hand.
It was probably his comrade from outside the stronghold, who gave him the courage to attack Cheng Qing. The Wolf King leaped high into the air and swung its giant axe towards the back of Cheng Qing's head.
Cheng Qing didn't turn around, but shifted his body to the side as if he were an eye popping out of the back of his head. That axe strike that seemed to be able to split apart mountains brushed past him. The origin energy blade on the axe didn't even manage to cut through his clothes.
Just as the wolfman fell to the ground in shock, Cheng Qing gripped the Heaven Lake Sword and lightly pulled upwards.
The blade of the sword slid past the wolfwalker's neck.
Thus, after this fierce battle, the strength of this seventh grade wolfwalker that had been reduced to a low level collapsed into a pile of rubble behind the stone wall and could no longer stand up.
From start to finish, Cheng Qing didn't even glance at the wolf.
Just now, the killing intent contained in that axe was like a gentle breeze, not even enough to attract his attention and allow him to split his body apart.
His gaze never left the wolfwalker who was running down from the encampment's entrance.
When he saw that Yale finally left the stronghold, the smile on his face had already spread to his face, and his eyes were filled with happiness.
Of course, Yelu Mingguang wouldn't know that Cheng Qing had been waiting for him to appear. They were looking forward to him leading his men out of the stronghold and fighting his way up the hill.
The terrain of the stronghold was extremely dangerous, and the fortifications were extremely sturdy, making them difficult to defend and attack. If Yeru were to defend himself to the death, the An Tian Sect would be forced to take the initiative to attack. If the stronghold's gate could be broken, then the losses of the An Tian Sect would be exceptionally heavy.
Even if they were lucky enough to win the Black Wind Ridge, the An Tian Sect would probably lose its ability to defend itself. Once the reinforcements of Jerome arrived, they could only retreat.
Naturally, that was not the battle that Cheng Qing wanted.
In his previous life, due to his great military achievement of defeating the Uighur Army, he was bestowed the title of King with a different surname from the Western Lion King.
Thus, Cheng Qing's understanding of the situation on the battlefield naturally fell short.
Attacking the stronghold wasn't a good idea at all, luring the enemy out to fight on the hillside was the best choice.
To lure the enemy into battle, two conditions must be met.
First, he needed the opponent to feel that he could win.
That was the premise.
Although there have been many instances in history where generals led troops into battle out of anger because of the insults and provocations of the enemy, such a thing would never happen to Yeru Mingguang. Even though he was still very young, he was far from being able to cause much trouble for Cheng Qing.
The second, is to build fighter jets.
Since his opponent was guarding a dangerous place, even if he had absolute confidence in winning, he might not take the initiative to attack. At this time, they needed to provoke, enrage, or send a bunch of old, weak, and handicapped people to curse.
Cheng Qing's method of angering and luring Yelu Mingguang into battle was very simple.
First of all, when the situation on the mountain slope was still unclear, he had asked dozens of cultivators from the An Tian Sect to attack the mountain path behind the mountain slope. It looked like they were about to cut off the line of defense of the stone castle on the stone wall.
Then, he personally made his move. He instantly killed the temple priest and the six wolf tribesmen of the fifth level of the Xumi Stage.1
The most important point was that the An Tian Sect had defeated the wolf-walker who was guarding the stone fort on the wall. This forced Yelu Mingguang to respond. Although the An Tian Sect's display of battle power was illogical, it was not particularly strong. As long as Yeru Mingguang made a move, there was no way he would be able to win.
And so he went to battle.
At the moment, there were only forty to fifty wolves left on the hillside battlefield. With Yeye's power, the An Tian Sect definitely wouldn't be able to defeat the enemy. That was the truth.
Otherwise, the light will not be rash.
The cultivators of the Tranquil Sky Sect had gone through a great battle. Although there weren't many casualties, the consumption of their Essence was not small. They simply couldn't withstand the rotation of the battle.
But since Cheng Qing dared to lure him down, he must have something to rely on.
