Mi Clan’s Wind Media Department
If the Wind Media Department of the Tang Clan is as chaotic as a vegetable market, the Wind Media Department of the Mi Clan more resembles a pet market.
On the towering nine-story pagoda, countless spiritual birds shuttle back and forth through the open tower windows. Behind each window is a Beast Tamer well-versed in secret techniques. Nearly a thousand Beast Tamers collect information observed by the birds through secret methods to create maps. The eyes of these birds can see everything on the battlefield, making the work efficiency of the Mi Clan’s Wind Media Department ten times more efficient than that of the Tang Clan, because it takes only five years to train a spiritual bird, but no one knows how long it takes to train a member of the Wind Media Department.
But the strength of the current intelligence cannot change the victory or defeat on the frontline battlefield.
Both Mi Jin and Mi Hu sat upright in the courtyard, listening to the orderly feedback of information. The faces of the two high-rankers, who should be impervious to emotions, were gloomy and their fists clenched.
All the senior members of Mi Clan had drastically changed faces, looking at each other in dismay.
These high-rankers of the Mi Clan couldn’t accept that the clear images on the Crow Blood Maps were true.
Because they couldn’t believe that in just half a day, the Martial Ancestors of the Mi Clan were at a disadvantage.
As millennia-long rivals, the two families are extremely familiar with each other’s techniques.
The Heavenly Pathway Technique is a standard Metal attribute technique, robust and powerful, focused on offensive and damaging attacks;
While the Thousand Green True Technique is a Wood attribute technique, always regenerating, and excels in defense.
Although Mi Clan is often at a disadvantage in face-to-face confrontations, because the Thousand Green True Technique has a corresponding body training technique, the Mi Clan warriors can only have broken armor at most. As long as the logistics support can keep up, they can quickly return to the battlefield.
The Tang Clan warriors who focus on attack may have astonishing destructive power, but are also more likely to be sneak-attacked and severely injured, because the characteristic of their power is to commit wholeheartedly, so the heavily attacking Tang Clan will have slow casualty rates but are more prone to severe injuries. However, Mi Clan’s casualty rate may be higher but they return to the battlefield quickly. If it is only a single clash, the Tang Clan has the advantage. But if the battle drags on and as long as the supplies are plentiful, the Mi Clan warriors would gradually level out the situation with their resilience.
Moreover, Mi Clan possesses the strongest Wind Media Department in Xiling. Every time a battle breaks out, Beast Valley of South Ridge will release hundreds of thousands of blood crows and spiritual birds. These creatures are Mi Clan’s eyes and ears. If a Martial Ancestor of Tang Clan, whose Xuanji Jade is activated, has bad luck and flies to the south side of Xiling, once the spiritual birds sense the strong spiritual energy fluctuations, the instantaneous arrival of the celestial bird feather guards will let the lone powerful being in the Fierce Realm know what despair is.
Therefore, the key to the conflict between the two clans is how much consumption can be lost in a battle, and how many lone warriors in the Fierce Realm can be killed. But Tang Clan today seems very different.
The Tang warriors in the Fierce Realm originally had only two types of killer moves, one is Extreme Mang Finger, and the other is Sky-picking Hand. The former is to concentrate the spiritual power of the whole body into a beam of Divine Light, which is so sharp that it can even pierce the top-level spiritual armor, especially when performed by Tang Siyuan, it can severely injure a powerful being in the Fierce Realm with just one finger.
The other is the Sky-picking Hand. This Spirit Art that harmonizes power and energy fantasizes a golden giant hand that is both offensive and defensive. It can even strike out strength and is the ultimate secret technique that integrates the Combined Attack Technique of Rulai.
Both methods are too familiar to Mi Clan. The former, despite its strength, needs a long time to regain energy, and although it has unparalleled piercing power, the Mi Clan warriors who have the protection of spiritual armor and the Qingmu Battle Body have plenty of time to activate the Xuanji Jade. The latter, although it is both offensive and defensive, demands too much from the warriors. Only a body cultivation grandmaster can truly unleash the power of Sky-picking Hand. The performance of Sky-picking Hand in the attack end of ordinary Martial Ancestors is always unsatisfactory.
The Mi Clan has very mature response methods for these two techniques, but who could anticipate that the Tang Clan would today bring out a new set of sealing techniques. Moreover, this set of fire attribute Spirit Art is not inferior to the Extreme Mang Finger, which made Tang Clan warriors’ attacking methods suddenly increase from two to three.
This change caught the entire Mi Clan off guard. The biggest feature of this sealing technique is that it burns spirits with divine fire. Warriors who are targeted by Vermillion Bird Seal will have a large amount of spiritual power burned. This makes the Mi Clan warriors under the protection of a layer of Qingmu Battle Body suffer bitterly. Because resisting this type of sealing technique requires a massive amount of spiritual power and can only be evaded. However, the divine bird Vermillion Bird has a gigantic form, and if one only tries to evade, it is unrealistic. Therefore, one can only counteract it with Divine Wood Strike.
Even for a powerful being in the Fierce Realm, each Divine Wood Strike draws nearly half of the spiritual power from the Dantian, causing significant loss. Consuming too much spiritual power means that the three aspects of attack, defense, and physical techniques will all become weaker. In a battle involving Tang Sen, if one is approached, the only option is to activate the Xuanji Jade.
Fortunately, Mi Yang’s Divine Wood Avatar recovers faster than Tang Sen’s Giant Avatar. But the Divine Wood Avatar, which was originally able to last for several days, always had its supply cut off due to Tang Sen’s intervention. This caused Mi Yang to only be able to injure a few people each time she transformed before she could no longer maintain the Willow Avatar form. It was precisely because of Mi Yang’s toughness that the battle situation barely maintained a stable state.
However, they cannot place all their bets on Mi Yang, because based on the timing, Tang Sen’s spiritual power should have almost recovered by now. This means that the Golden Giant will once again set foot on the earth, and this time, without the Divine Willow to block, the Mi Clan will suffer a massive reduction in forces.
In a clash of the strong, balance is the key. Once balance is broken, the weaker side will suffer a crushing defeat, because a warrior facing two warriors of the same level can only be crushed with no power to fight back.
“The patriarch needs to decide quickly, time is running out!” Mi Hu said sternly to Mi Jin who was sitting next to him.
Either go all out for a battle, and dispatch additional forces or stop both sides from fighting. Because if the fight continues, the situation is already unfavorable to us, especially because none of the Tang clan warriors using the Xuanji Jade was scattered in the south which made him realize that besides the additional new attack method, Tang Clan also obtained a top-tier Retractive Breath Technique.
This Retractive Breath Technique has surprisingly become powerful enough to perfectly hide the aura of powerful beings in the Fierce Realm, to the point where the spiritual birds couldn’t sense it, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the “luck of the Tang Clan warriors.
The Xuanji Jade’s teleportation array is triggered within a radius of a hundred miles centered around the place of activation. The so-called hundred miles mean any point within a radius that is more than fifty miles but less than a hundred miles. This means that the Xuanji Jade could even teleport Tang Clan warriors to the vicinity of Beast Valley in South Ridge. The probability of falling south is more than half.
Therefore, each warrior will carry several pieces of Xuanji Jade, to prevent such a situation. But the massive spiritual power needed to activate Xuanji Jade and the aura of a Fierce Realm warrior would be as eye-catching to the spiritual birds as starlight in the night sky. But after a whole half day, not a single spiritual bird found a Tang Clan warrior scattered in the south. This is simply unrealistic.
Mi Jin was well aware that the Mi Clan warriors were in a disadvantageous position, but he was reluctant to back down at this moment.
The death of Mi Chu was a heartache that he had never expected, and the seriously injured Mi Jing, who fled, had yet to be found. The thought of Tang Luo’s transformed silver giant gives him a sense of urgency. Once the Tang Clan produced another warrior like Tang Sen, it meant that the Tang Clan had the ability to open a second or even third battlefield. The Mi Clan had no way to resist except to request support from all available sources. Once that situation arises, there would be no hope for the Mi Clan to turn the tables.
Because both clans have reserves, and once the Mi Clan experiences excessive losses, it would mean that the Tang Clan has begun to gain the upper hand. When the advantage continues to expand, the outcome will be determined.
