CHAPTER 02 - DOWNFALL

CHAPTER 02 - Downfall

They travelled South, with their marching armies preparing for a massive war at Mountain Han. Different branches joined the march and brought news about the disturbances in the Mountain.

Reports said that the several black spirits were seen and so does evil Qi was strongly felt in here. The Villages which was conquered was quiet and eerie but several black spirits were actually preparing for them. Mountain Han controlled everything at the plains of Jingyi.

.....

Days passed and the sky located at the Mountain Han was unmoved and at its darkest. Its shadow was stretching forward in the distant sky, it gave fear to everyone. Devouring the hopes at their heart.

The Tang armies was preparing to attack, waiting for the signal.

"Reporting. The black spirits  already released their armies surrounding the Mountain, approximately 100,000 can be seen." the agent said

"Wow. That's massive." Do Dang Fen stated then nervously look at Chao Lei.

Her eyes are completely closed. Her calm demeanor made everyone to be not trouble at the news of how terrible the enemy is. Their First General was a woman but she already proved the wars she experienced in the past centuries that no one can take her down.  She's utterly a Divine.

Feeling their hearts calmed, she opened her eyes.

"Annihilate them."

Then the great war of cosmos started. Clashing swords, wild horses and a battle of psychic power was seen.

With the help of the evil tools carried by the enemies, the Tang armies was reduced in a fast pace but in terms of power, they can't get ahead of the generals especially the First Divine General which were in a savage mode. Killing everything what her eyes sees.

She threw out her slender but oppressive sword at her enemies, throwing them out easily wearing her indifferent look. Not suppressing any emotions while the filth of bloods were splashing at every corner of her armor.

And by at the bloody corpses in the field. A masked man was standing at the distant, he wore that dark clothes of a scholar and he has chains. Staring directly at Chao Lei.

Everyone shivered uncontrollably for the powerful Qi he exerts. Chao Lei frowned.

But before she can even think of anything. She was attacked by a long, killing chain. She jumped at the side but the chain chased her, she swiftly avoided it and concentrated her Qi at her arm.

The chain attacked her but then she took grip of it and crushed it all the way.

The masked man smirked inside. It might be totally crushed but it brought damage on the generals arm.

Chao Lei took grip of her severed arm, it tinges with pain that made her breathe unstable. It absorbed her Qi by contact.

But her expression didn't betrayed her, still indifferently looking at the masked man.

Then the intense fight between them started.

Their power was peerless. They showcased of how the world truly is unfair. They displayed great and polished swordplay and their cultivation was indeed unleveled!

Everyone who was in the middle of their battle can't help but to be awed.

The Dark Lord and Chao Lei clashed swords and with the contact made a fearful crackling of lightning that made them both stepped back. Catching their breath not taking off their eyes on each other.

But Chao Lei was suddenly alarmed when she noticed that his Qi risen, he concentrated his Qi into a purest black mists on his hand, the masked man was going to release an enormous qi that can destroy everything!

By that level of Qi it can destroy a whole country.

Chao Lei gritted her teeth and launched towards the man.

But he escaped it and still  focused on his plan.

Chao Lei can't permit this and also released an enormous qi at its peak.

She attacked the masked man and this time he hadn't escaped.

She took hold of him and broke one of his leg to prevent him from escaping and a silent grunt was heard on him. He lost a leg but still manage to fought back, he exchanged a punch at Chao Lei's stomach and a mouthful of blood was purged out from the First General.

This man was known to be the Dark Lord of the Black Spirits. They knew and is aware of each other's strength, they met at different wars in the past centuries. And Chao Lei knew, she can't take him completely. The attacks she launched on him caused great injuries but with his tricks and tools, it all slowly healed. She tightly gripped her sword.

She continues to attack him.

Launching qi's that can destroy his concentration.

But after an enormous effort of the young general. The masked man stopped, blood dripping at every corners of his body, the flow of his qi was unstable already. He then stared off at Chao Lei with his teaseful eyes, peeking on his mask.

"You won."  it stated.

Chao Lei almost fell down but she was depending on her sword poled off in the ground. She can't move any longer, all of her qi was used up.

It was a relief but then she realized, she was trapped in a black array formed by this  man.

She widened her eyes.

"I wasn't planning to destroy everything. I was just planning to destroy you."

Before she could do anything. The array activated and released a pure blindingly light then boom! It exploded in a majestic way.

"General Chao Lei!" her troops screamed seeing the peculiar light that died down right after.

Every one stepped back at the explosion but when it finally ended. Do Dang Fen impatiently went into his generals supposed location and merely found a deep crater.

He shivered in horror. No body nor clues.

"G-General...?"
