Chapter 1403 Night King and Underworld Lord Kill Western Barbarian Powerhouses

As the loud and clear bugle sounded, the well-organized army immediately set out.

Ye Xiaohan mobilized his troops and commanded Zhong Yue's army to fight against the Western Yi army.

Then, he joined the battle with a small contingent of Golden Guards.

At this moment, a group of Western barbarians, who were prepared in advance, began to surround and attack Ye Xiaohan and his group.

Ye Xiaohan, along with Wei Song, General Yang Wu, and their group, were engaged in fierce fighting when their ranks were scattered.

He led his men through the chaotic battlefield, broke through an encirclement, and escaped to the edge of the battlefield, a dense poplar grove.

Ye Xiaohan led his men into the woods, with the Western Barbarian squad in hot pursuit.

He had just turned around when he saw the four Western barbarian warriors chasing after him.

"The other soldiers are fighting against the Western barbarian soldiers!"

"Wei Song, Yang Wu, each of you hold off one Martial God for now." That's right, Ye Xiaohan's expectation of his two subordinates was only to hold them off, and even then, only temporarily.

"Night King, you are doomed today!" The four Western barbarian war gods said triumphantly.

Little did they know how miserable their fate would be in the process of fighting Ye Xiaohan.

After several rounds, Ye Xiaohan and the two martial gods were evenly matched.

Just as the opposing side was bracing themselves and preparing to take the battle more seriously, they suddenly saw the Night King begin to teleport, moving so fast that even his shadow could not be seen.

"A long-lost technique of stealth! Even a martial god might not be able to master such profound skill!" The Western Martial God dared not underestimate Ye Xiaohan even more.

Ye Xiaohan raised the Qinglang Ancient Sword and quickened his attack. While pretending to retreat, he cut off the branches of two poplar trees where the Martial Gods had stood.

"Crack!" The branch fell, and leaves flew to the ground.

The black-clad and white-clad martial gods sneered, "Night King, your sword strike has gone astray."

Ye Xiaohan channeled his energy with one hand, instantly lifting the fallen leaves, and then Ye Yu flew towards the two martial gods.

Before the two could react, and with Ye Xiaohan's incredible luck, they were quickly scratched by the leaves.

"It's just a minor injury, haha."

“It could also turn into a serious injury,” Ye Xiaohan said coldly.

The two martial gods' expressions changed drastically, but Ye Xiaohan drew his sword and came up. The powerful flying sword and fierce rain of leaves made the two panic.

They suddenly realized with alarm: "Oh no! Our strength and internal energy are draining away!"

"Too late!" Ye Xiaohan struck with his sword a few times, and both men were seriously injured.

In a flash, Ye Xiaohan disappeared.

The two men held on and gave chase, then called out the two martial gods who had fought fiercely against Wei Song and Yang Wu. The four of them walked together into the depths of the forest.

however…

They were first badly beaten by Ye Xiaohan once again using Ye Yu.

Then Ye Xiaohan disappeared again using his invisibility technique.

In the blink of an eye, they went inside and found a monster with red eyes wearing a ghost mask in front of them.

"Ninefold Netherworld, what are you doing here?!"

"We're here to see the Night King. We advise you not to meddle in our business!"

"Heh, I won't let any of them go." Netherworld Ninefold's red robes fluttered as he struck with considerable ruthlessness.

Soon, the four men were beaten to the point of near death.

On the battlefield, Jinxiangwei had basically defeated the Western Yi army, and the battle was nearing its end.

Wei Song and Yang Wu emerged from the poplar trees, followed by a group of Golden Guards. Finally, the Night King, clad in full armor, appeared, covered in blood, radiating a terrifying aura of murderous intent.

The Western barbarians were defeated, and when they were clearing the battlefield, they found corpses in the woods.

Their warriors and fighters were all dead, and four unconscious martial gods were also found.

That night, the four martial gods had just been revived and were about to say something when they suddenly vomited blood and died.

The Westerners were furious, believing that Ye Xiaohan was responsible, and thus spared the God of War's life.

They were shocked again by how powerful Ye Xiaohan was!

However, as they investigated further, they discovered that these martial gods were not killed by Ye Xiaohan. After all, these martial gods were still alive when they fought in the forest, which did not prove that Ye Xiaohan had taken their lives.

More importantly, they discovered that the problem lay with the batch of drugs that the Martial God had taken, and that the Martial God had died at the hands of his own people! Their drugs had been tampered with by someone, possibly a domestic enemy of the Western Barbarian Commander, or someone from Zhong Yue, Bei Han, or Nan Tai.

Now things are really messed up. The Western Barbarian commander sighed bitterly, "Not only has the plan to kill the Night King failed, but we have also lost so many experts. What's worse, we can't blame all these tragedies on the Night King!"

At Zhongyue's military camp, the entire army celebrated their victory in the third major battle.

Ye Xiaohan and a group of trusted confidants, including Wei Song, discussed matters that they had planned for today.

He deliberately released a group of Jinxiang Guards, causing the Western Barbarians to immediately panic and start a war.

Then, he deliberately lured the Western barbarian warriors to fight in the forest. He had a batch of trees in the forest fumigated with poisonous smoke beforehand, so the leaves were already problematic.

Firstly, if a poisonous leaf scratches a person's skin, even a small wound can be enough to make them weak and powerless.

Secondly, the leaves have a slight toxicity; people surrounded by the leaves can be poisoned by the smell of the poison.

Wei Song and the others exclaimed, "Your Highness is wise!"

Ye Xiaohan then praised to everyone, "This poisonous herb was given to me by the Princess Consort, and its effects are excellent." The poisonous smoke and mist produced by burning the herb can have a toxic effect that lasts for several days.

After today, even if the Western barbarian army realizes that something is amiss with the God of War's death, they will not be able to find any evidence in the forest.

Besides, in the end, the God of War didn't die at his hands, but at the hands of the Netherworld Ninth Heaven, didn't he? No one can blame him, this prince!

Furthermore, the four martial gods ultimately died in the Western barbarian camp, which had nothing to do with him or Zhong Yue's army. Moreover, it was discovered that the martial gods died from poison used by the Western barbarians, which had absolutely nothing to do with him or Zhong Yue's army.

Ultimately, under Ye Xiaohan's strategic planning, the Western Barbarians suffered a devastating defeat, their overall strength severely weakened.

News of the Night King's resounding victory spread rapidly once again, and the entire continent knew about it.

Ye Xiaohan's letter home to Yun Mujiu also hinted that the war would soon be over...
