On a rainy night, flashes of angry lightning illuminated the earth.
In the high sky, a figure that was almost invisible stood solemnly in mid-air, clad in Dark Red Armor, inspecting the surrounding terrain—Ye Yang.
With the light from the lightning, Ye Yang soared through the sky, Starlit Armor forming around his body to prevent being struck by lightning.
After patrolling for nearly half an hour, Ye Yang finally returned to the Central Army Tent.
...
"Whoosh!"
Bringing rainwater with him, he glided into the Tent, where a delicious aroma filled the air. It was the scent of braised roe deer meat. Due to the rainy weather and lack of extra ingredients, they had to rely on game hunted by the Vermilion Bird Knight for their meal. A copper cauldron was set up inside the Tent, with broth bubbling away over the fire.
Zhang Tianhe, Zeng Xuan, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Wang Lie, and others were present. Upon seeing Ye Yang enter, Zeng Xuan immediately smiled and said, "Zi Yu, you’re finally back..."
As she spoke, Zeng Xuan suddenly pouted and walked over. Her delicate white hand rested on Ye Yang's shoulder as she said, "Oh, you're all wet..."
Ye Yang replied, "Yes."
Zeng Xuan chuckled softly. Suddenly, a warm breeze surged from her palm, enveloping Ye Yang in a cocoon of warmth. In no time at all, the moisture on him was completely evaporated. Wang Lie, Zhang Tianhe, and others watched in amazement; Zeng Xuan truly lived up to her reputation as a powerful figure at Starry Sky Sixth Level. Her control over wind and fire elemental laws was astonishingly masterful.
Ye Yang smiled and said, "Wang Lie, have someone draw up a sand table of the surrounding terrain. We can eat while we look at it!"
"Yes, the sand table has already been prepared. I'll have someone bring it in right away!"
"Good!"
Not long after, the sand table covered by a curtain was brought in. Once unveiled, it revealed a map of the area surrounding Eastern County, prominently featuring the Azure Cloud Mountain Range.
Ye Yang held a plate and cut a piece of venison before approaching the sand table. Several generals followed him, and a group of people surrounded the sand table, staring at each other in confusion.
"We are currently here..." Ye Yang pointed with his chopsticks and then indicated a nearby small valley, saying, "Meng Jun's over forty thousand Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry is stationed here. Although we burned quite a few of them today, the main force of the Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry remains intact, all stationed in the low-lying areas. I see that this rain will last for quite a while..."
Wang Lie's eyes lit up: "My lord, are you suggesting...?"
Ye Yang nodded with a smile and suddenly pointed to a large basin in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, saying, "This place is naturally a lake. The river water flowing from the Azure Cloud Mountain Range converges here. I just checked; after an hour of heavy rain, this lake is almost overflowing. Once it overflows, the water will flow through several mountain passes into various rivers, posing no threat to Meng Jun's Army."
Zhang Tianhe tore off a piece of venison and chewed vigorously, asking, "So what? Doesn't that mean we have no way to deal with them?"
Ye Yang chuckled and pointed to several spots on the sand table, saying, "As long as we block the largest flood outlet and fill this Gorge, the lake water will have nowhere to drain. Then we can dig open the Mountain Ridge of Pan Snake Valley to divert water from Heavenly Water Lake to eliminate Meng Jun's Army!"
Wang Lie pondered for a moment: "Drowning Meng Jun is indeed a method, but water flows downhill. That Gorge is so massive; how can we block it?"
Ye Yang replied, "We just need to shave off this protruding Mountain Ridge. Once the Mountain Ridge collapses, it will naturally fill the Gorge."
"What?" Wang Lie's eyes widened in disbelief. "The Mountain Ridge? Can it really be shaved off?"
Ye Yang smiled and pointed at Zeng Xuan, saying, "Don't forget, we have experts at Starry Sky Sixth Level. With the advantage of my Azure Soul Sword, even divine artifacts like the God Locking Coffin can be shattered. How much easier would it be to deal with a mere Mountain Ridge?"
Zeng Xuan pursed her lips and chuckled, "Alright, if it's for killing, then I'll definitely help with this!"
"Good!"
...
Ye Yang was overjoyed and immediately ordered, "Wang Lie, send out the command to chop down trees and make rafts tonight. Tomorrow morning, taking advantage of the heavy rain, we'll flood the Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry and see what Wang Li uses to attack our Eastern County!"
"Yes!"
In just one night, Ye Yang's army became a flurry of activity, creating countless rafts. Ye Yang then called upon Zeng Xuan to fly with Zhang Tianhe, Zhao Yun, and others deep into the Gorge.
"Clang!"
Drawing the Azure Soul Sword, Ye Yang quietly said to the Divine Weapon, "Grandpa Qin, bless me to win this battle," and then handed the Azure Soul Sword to Zeng Xuan. He pointed to a towering mountain in the distance and said, "Sister Zeng Xuan, it's that mountain. If you can slice it down so it falls and blocks the Gorge, our plan will be halfway successful!"
Zeng Xuan widened her beautiful eyes and murmured, "Kid, you’re telling me that this mountain range is just a Hilltop? You... you think too highly of your sister!"
"What? Sister Zeng Xuan can't do it?" Ye Yang whispered. "I thought Sister Zeng Xuan was invincible in the world; I didn't expect you couldn't even handle a mountain..."
"Who said that?!" Zeng Xuan's face flushed red. With her fiery temperament, she couldn't withstand Ye Yang's provocation. Gripping the Azure Soul Sword, she soared into the air, channeling True Qi as her body surged with vast and astonishing Starlight Power. The dazzling light illuminated the rain-soaked night as if it were broad daylight!
"Ha!"
A delicate shout rang out, and a brilliant sword light shot forth. With a loud crack, it seemed as if the earth trembled; the massive mountain peak slowly began to shift. Following that, rocks and mud crumbled, and a thunderous roar shook the ground, instantly blocking the once wide entrance of the Gorge into a flat expanse!
Ye Yang was overjoyed and pointed towards the east, saying, "Sister Zeng Xuan, that is Heavenly Water Lake. The water has already started to overflow. With just one sword strike, you can break open the lake, and then the water will flood the Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry. We will effortlessly conquer the most elite Iron Cavalry of Wang Li's Army!"
"Let me rest for a moment..."
Zeng Xuan gasped for breath; the two towering peaks rose and fell dramatically. The sword strike she had just unleashed had nearly consumed half of her True Qi. Feeling somewhat displeased, she said, "You may find it effortless, but I'm almost too exhausted to fly..."
Ye Yang chuckled, "Don't worry, after we break open Heavenly Lake, I'll carry you back."
"Alright, that's what you said!"
Zeng Xuan smiled happily and soared into the distance. Suddenly, another dazzling sword energy erupted forth. Instantly, the continuous mountain range was cleaved apart. Amidst the lightning flashes, countless floods surged out like a roaring river, quickly engulfing a large area of forest.
"Success!" Zhao Yun smiled slightly. "Meng Jun's Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry has reached its end!"
