Chapter 163 Covering the Sky and Sun

The fighting on the ground continued, but the Northern Rong soldiers soon discovered something even more terrifying.

It got dark.

It was noon, and the snow was dazzling just moments before, but in just a few breaths, the light above the entire Broken Soul Valley seemed to have been wiped away by an invisible giant hand, and quickly dimmed.

"What's going on? Is it going to snow heavily again?"

A Northern Rong archer instinctively looked up, wanting to check the weather.

There were no dark clouds in the sky.

Instead, there were dense, overwhelming flocks of birds.

Thousands upon thousands of crows, like black whirlwinds, hovered in the low sky, emitting noisy and piercing cries.

Higher up, dozens of vultures and golden eagles with astonishing wingspans were folding their wings and swooping down to the ground like black lightning, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound!

【Rage—! ...

That was the hunting signal from the aerial overlord.

"Ah! My eyes!"

The archer, who was looking up, only saw a dark shadow flash before his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in both eyes. A crow had accurately pecked out his eyeballs, and blood instantly covered his entire face.

But this is just the beginning.

This massive "air force" doesn't need complex tactics. Tangli gave them only one instruction—attack the eyes.

Whether it's a human eye or a horse's eye.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Countless dark shadows swept overhead, their claws and beaks becoming their deadliest weapons.

This move was devastating for the heavily armored Northern Rong cavalry.

Their armor could protect them from swords and spears, but not from the ever-present beaks of birds; their scimitars could slay enemies on the ground, but could not reach the agile birds overhead.

"No! Get away! Get out of here!"

"My horse! My horse is missing!"

On the battlefield, screams of agony rose and fell.

Although those warhorses were well-trained, their eyesight was ultimately a weakness. Once pecked, the frightened warhorses would instantly lose control.

"Hiss! His ...

Countless blind warhorses began to kick wildly, charging recklessly through the narrow valley, regardless of whether there were people on their backs or friendly forces in front of them.

The Northern Rong's proud "Death Legion" did not fall to the swords of the Great Sheng, but instead fell to the iron hooves of its own warhorses.

The sound of bones shattering, mixed with screams, turned this snow valley into a bizarre and terrifying hell on earth.

And at a high place.

Tuoba Xiao, who had been observing the situation with a cold eye and thought victory was in his grasp, finally panicked.

Looking at the chaotic army and the dark flock of birds overhead, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to his head.

"Sorcery...this is definitely sorcery!"

Tuoba Xiao brandished his scimitar, trying to scare away the approaching crows, while simultaneously squeezing the wolf's belly hard, attempting to retreat:

"Go! Go quickly!"

However, his enormous white wolf king was simply too conspicuous.

High in the sky, the golden eagle king that had once guided Tangli had long been eyeing its prey.

That white dog is the leader! Peck it!

The Golden Eagle King let out a long cry, folded its wings, and swooped down vertically from a height of a hundred feet. Its speed was astonishing, and its sharp talons cut through the air with a shrill sound.

Tuoba Xiao felt an ominous wind blowing from above and instinctively raised his knife to block.

"when!"

The golden eagle's iron claws struck the scimitar, sparks flying everywhere.

But its target was not Tuoba Xiao at all.

In the instant that the attack missed, the golden eagle cunningly flipped to the side, and its other talons, swift as lightning, viciously clawed at the white wolf king's left eye!

"Awooo—!!!"

The White Wolf King let out an extremely shrill howl as its blood-red wolf eye was instantly torn apart, spurting blood everywhere.

The excruciating pain drove the already drug-controlled beast completely mad. It no longer obeyed Tuoba Xiao's commands, but instead frantically thrashed its body, rolling and leaping on the snow, trying to shake off that damned bird.

"Beast! Stop! Stop right now!"

Tuoba Xiao gripped the reins tightly, but he couldn't control his maddened chariot at all.

In a violent jolt, the arrogant Northern Rong king was thrown out by the wolf king and crashed heavily onto the hard rocks, his head bleeding profusely and looking utterly disheveled.

Just as he was about to get up, several vultures landed on the rock next to him, tilting their heads and staring at him with their greedy eyes.

It was as if they were waiting for him to breathe his last so they could enjoy this feast.

Tuoba Xiao looked at the birds flying all over the sky, the beasts on the ground, and then at the red-clad woman in the distance who was surrounded by a crowd of people.

Real fear finally shattered his ambition.

This is a force that no human can resist.

This is divine punishment! This is divine wrath!

"It's over..."

Tuoba Xiao slumped to the ground, gazing at the apocalyptic scene that blotted out the sky, and muttered to himself:

"It's all over..."
