Eps. 318 — Against Him Alone
"You're still thinking about it, even if you turn it around in such a way, it won't change whatever the circumstances, you better have something to do about this news." Lily who was sitting not far from Jian Chen said.
Jian Chen sighed, what the girl said was true, it was not the time for him to keep quiet like this.
"We're going to their camp right now, I want to see that imperial army firsthand."
Lily wanted to say it was best the next day but Jian Chen had already darted flying through the window, the girl sighed before flying along to follow him.
From the information of the troops he killed, Jian Chen also knew the location of the Qilin imperial army's whereabouts.
Jian Chen was sure that they were currently resting considering that the night was already late, so he immediately set off in that second as well.
If using horses at least they would need a whole day of reaching the Qilin imperial camp but by flying, Jian Chen could arrive within a few hours.
When the two arrived, it was already morning and the sun started to rise slightly in sight.
"It's really crazy..."
Jian Chen retreated a few steps with a face full of shock upon seeing such a huge Qilin imperial camp.
Although Jian Chen had known their numbers but witnessed them directly felt different, the young man even rubbed his eyes looking at the size of the camp.
Lily beside him did not react much but he was also a little stunned to see such a large army, the girl seemed to have recalled something in her past.
"Hm, for their numbers it seems like I don't need to tell you anymore, you must have found out, right?" Lily glanced at Jian Chen who instantly retorted a nod by him. "So what are your plans now, obviously with their army, your empire could lose."
Jian Chen smiled faintly, "What percentage do you think I can fight against them alone?"
Lily frowned, "Against everything? You're out of your mind..."
"I can't think there's any other way to deal with them except to attack them alone, even if I ask for help they won't necessarily want to, if the Dragon Empire's army alone can't defeat it let alone the other group."
The Dragon Empire army was the strongest army in the territory of the Dragon Empire, not only in terms of its high average strength but their numbers were extremely large.
But faced with the forces of the Qilin Empire, somehow the Dragon Empire was less superior in number, at least half the number of enemy troops.
Lily sighed, the girl actually did not care about this imperial conflict but there was one thing she was worried about that was regarding Jian Chen's safety.
"In terms of strength, their average cultivation level was in the Hampa Realm, dozens of them were the Sky Realm while some of them had reached the King Realm..." Lily explained the specifics of the strength present in the campground.
The girl clearly had a special ability in reading the strength of her opponent, although Lily did not see them directly but the girl could feel the strength of her opponent even from a distance though.
Lily then pointed up at the sky, Jian Chen did not understand as he did not see anything up there.
"There's someone else hiding there, his strength is a little weaker than yours but he's definitely not an easy opponent for you to face..."
Lily explained that in the camp there were also two warriors who had reached the God Realm, she had deliberately not counted them because even in the same cultivation realm, they were no match for Jian Chen.
"You do realize that not fighting forty thousand troops at once alone could endanger your life?" Lily was still trying to reject Jian Chen's idea.
"Do you think I have a choice in a situation like this..." Jian Chen smiled faintly.
Lily gave a sullen expression and was a little annoyed, she understood not being able to change Jian Chen's decision.
The girl explained even if Jian Chen had to fight forty thousand people at once the fact was that he did not have to fight them all.
More simply, if their numbers managed to kill Jian Chen by half, the Qilin Empire's army would be aware with Jian Chen's great strength, instead than continuing to attack them likely to be frightened.
You could say Jian Chen should focus on making them aware of Jian Chen's true strength while showing his ability.
"What about the person you mean in the sky, you said his strength was a little weak from me."
"Let me kill him, if you fight him and all his troops at once, your chances of victory will be even lower."
Jian Chen was surprised and a little in disbelief, "You want to help me?"
"Hmph! Don't get me wrong, I just want to absorb the power of the person on top of that, even with my current strength it's not easy to deal with but I'm pretty sure I can kill him."
"And so..." Lily continued her words. "I can't let you get killed here, if you die I'll die, that's why I'm helping you."
Lily said so while putting on a fierce expression face, the girl snorted softly and threw away her face.
"Thank you, after this I owe you a lot..." Jian Chen expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"Hmph! Too soon to thank you, we continue after successfully fighting them, have you not been round to face the troops alone?"
Jian Chen nodded softly, "If I had another more effective alternative, I wouldn't have done this in the first place..."
Lily shrugged her shoulders, she then created a dark-colored ball of energy then the girl shot it at Jian Chen.
The energy ball Lily did not explode or so but rather absorbed into Jian Chen's body.
"What are you doing..." Jian Chen was surprised by the girl's actions but instantly his words came to a halt when he suddenly felt a familiar sensation.
Jian Chen could feel within his body there was energy in the stored Yin, Lily indirectly exerted her profound energy on Jian Chen.
"Lily, here..."
"I told you I didn't want you killed." The girl simultaneously looked up at the sky, "It seems that she is already aware of our existence, I will take care of it now, I leave the rest to you..."
Lily immediately flew up into the sky after saying so, now only Jian Chen who was still standing and staring at the huge camp.
Jian Chen did not directly attack them but rather waited until the sun slightly rose and the tents were tidied up.
As the forty thousand troops were already preparing and intending to continue on their way back, Jian Chen unleashed a surge of power residing in the God Realm in order for his opponents to realize his existence.
Although from a far distance, the power was quickly realized by the Qilin Emperor and the others, their expressions were greatly shocked to realize that there was a power residing in the God Realm.
Instantly also the Qilin Emperor turned his head towards the source of the surge of power, his forehead shrinking as he saw Jian Chen single-handedly blocking his troops from afar.
'Hm, it seems that just showing my strength is not enough, I have to show my ability for them to realize I am their enemy..."
Jian Chen took a deep breath then made a type change, Jian Chen put a large amount of profound energy into his mouth.
