Chapter 314 : 309: Song Mobei's Thoughts_1
Seeing Shang Han leave, Mu Tianyuan also knew that the battlefield truly had countless deaths and injuries every second, but she absolutely had to ask clearly about this title "grandmother".
"Qing'er, don't tell me that you... already have a child?"

Mu Tianyuan's exquisitely beautiful face showed an extremely complex expression. She herself still looked so young, at most appearing to be in her late twenties; she didn't seem like grandmother material at all.
"En."
Seeing that the surrounding injured soldiers had mostly retreated, Mu Huanqing quickly nodded; she didn't plan to talk about this issue at this time: "After the war is over, I'll take you to meet the child."
After speaking, Mu Huanqing didn't say more and turned back into the battlefield.
Mu Tianyuan, having received confirmation, felt it was quite abrupt and had a hard time accepting it at first, but then she thought about her daughter's age, which was also about the right time to get married and have children. Having a child out of wedlock was a perfectly normal thing.
However, she found it strange. Mu Huanqing had been with Fang Ren for less than half a year without even enough time for a full-term pregnancy. How exactly had Mu Huanqing's child been born?
...
With most of the injured soldiers retreating to the periphery, the generals began to dissolve the Large Formation and took up their weapons to launch a fierce attack on the Black Giant Snake on the sea.
Xia Mo, who had just arrived at the heart of the battlefield, had already learned about the Black Giant Snake's strange aspects from Bai Chaojin. Seeing the troops attack fiercely with power that could be described as earth-shattering, the damage caused wasn't substantially significant.
Xia Mo immediately used his True Qi to amplify his voice: "Generals and soldiers, do not attack at will! This black mist is extremely peculiar, and if you cannot break through it, you will not be able to inflict substantial damage on the Giant Snake!"
As the Commander-in-Chief, Xia Mo's words carried significant weight. Upon hearing him, the district leaders led soldiers from their respective battle districts to enter a defensive state and conserve their True Qi.
"Listen to my command, generals! Only light attributes can break this black mist! Assemble light-attribute practitioners above us, go with a hundred Array Masters to assist! Use light-attribute Cultivation Techniques to focus on attacking one point in the black mist! We must break through this defense!"
"Other district personnel restrain the Giant Snake's movements, try to harass its interference with the sky! Deputies of districts one to nine follow Commander Bai into the sea! Find that serpent's fallen head! We can't allow this beast to recover its nine-headed state!"
"All soldiers from district two, except the district leader and deputy, who are above the rank of military general, come to me! Protect me as I gather Cultivation Techniques again!"
Following Xia Mo's commands, tens of thousands of light-attribute practitioners began to rise into the sky, as hundreds of Array Masters deployed Formations to protect them.
Deputies from each district also dived into the sea with Bai Chaojin, vying to snatch the Void Beast's head.
A large number of soldiers from district two also came to Xia Mo's side, and at this time, Xia Mo began to channel all the True Qi in his body, preparing to launch "Doomsday Sunlight" once more.
Song Mobei, in the crowd, couldn't sit still at this moment. In the face of a great war that the whole world was watching, he couldn't allow himself to play a role just to distract the enemy. He, Song Mobei, was the main character; how could he settle for being a support?
Then, Song Mobei also leaped up high with everyone, as his Tian Gang True Qi could also drive light-attribute Cultivation Techniques. Although it wasn't as pure as Xia Mo's light attribute, among the tens of thousands of light-attribute practitioners, he could shine brilliantly with his higher Realm, proving who the true main character was in this battle.
Maybe, to others, this war was a vicious fight related to the survival of humanity, but to Song Mobei, it wasn't so. In his view, this war was a sure win, only that human deaths and injuries might be quite tragic, but he didn't believe that all soldiers from every battle district combined couldn't kill a snake.
However, the greater the crisis, the more it was a moment for him to showcase his strength. The more he displayed, the greater his prestige would be in the future among Humans. And he had a lot of confidence in his own talent; given enough time, he would become the pillar of the human world.
By then, the prestige he would have established would be enough to have people uphold him as the next Commander-in-Chief.
Commander-in-Chief, that position commanded absolute authority in the human world.
If he could take that seat, aside from him, no one else would be worthy of Mu Huanqing and Bai Qi, these two incomparably talented beauties.
"He who loves power also loves beauty." This adage had always been the life motto of Song Mobei.
One must have status, but even more so—beauty.
As Song Mobei ascended into the sky, he saw that tens of thousands of light-attribute practitioners were looking up to him as their leader, surrounded by hundreds of Array Masters for protection, and the whole world watching this fight. Just for a moment, a boundless spirit of heroism surged in his heart, and he pulled out his Longsword and issued an order.
"Light-attribute generals! Attack the same spot with me!"
After speaking, Song Mobei released a beam of light from his sword toward the top of the black mist.
Hearing this, a group of soldiers followed Song Mobei's attack on the top of the black mist, and the scene immediately became thunderous again.
With the concentrated attacks of the group of light-attribute practitioners, the Nine-headed Giant Snake on the sea suddenly went berserk.
Ao!
A deafening roar echoed as the space above the mist suddenly churned violently.
Boom—
A massive black light wave shot out from the black mist, aiming straight for the group of light-attribute practitioners in the sky.
"Strengthen the defense of the Large Formation!" commanded Song Mobei.
Hundreds of Practitioners immediately boosted the defense of the Large Formation to its Peak.
The black wave of light struck the Large Formation, pushing back over a hundred Array Masters in the sky by dozens of meters. Many Array Masters couldn't withstand the destructive force of the impact and directly vomited blood before falling into the sea.
Seeing the Giant Snake become enraged, Song Mobei grew increasingly excited and continued to command, "Our attack is effective! Keep attacking! Additionally, we need more Array Masters! I hope the Second District can provide support!"
Why specifically ask for Array Masters from the Second District?
That was, of course, because the district chief of the Second District was Fang Zheng, and most of them were the Fang Family's trusted lieutenants.
He had not forgotten for a moment the incident when Fang Ren brazenly talked back to him, Song Mobei, in public. He hoped that as many of the Fang Family members died in this battle as possible, ideally becoming so weakened from this war that they would never recover. That way, it would be much easier for him to take down Fang Ren in the future.
Fang Zheng, who was leading the soldiers of the Second District to contain the Giant Snake, furrowed his brows upon hearing Song Mobei's words: "Even at such a critical time, he still thinks of taking revenge on his own kin... I wonder what the head of the Tiandao Sword Sect would think if he knew of this."
Even though Fang Zheng had been busy with affairs and had not returned to Tianjiang, he always paid close attention to the conflict that his son had stirred up with the Tiandao Sword Sect.
The Second District's battlefield was the furthest from the summit of the black fog. Surely Song Mobei should be asking for reinforcements from those closer, instead, he specifically requested Array Masters from here. His petty motivations of mixing personal grudges with official duties seemed impossible to conceal.
Although he knew of Song Mobei's ulterior motives, General Fang Zheng had always been a person who considered the bigger picture. In this war of human survival, he wouldn't choose to get angry with a youngster like Song Mobei. Otherwise, the morale on the battlefield would dissipate. That could lead to even more soldiers dying and might even cause the Void Beast to become fully realized...
"All Array Masters from the Second District, heed my command and head to the summit of the black fog to protect the light-attribute Practitioners," Fang Zheng issued the order.
"The head of Tiandao had lived an upright and noble life, yet to accept such a disciple, what a pity..." Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly for the old head of the Tiandao Sword Sect.
...
With the reinforcement of a large number of Array Masters, the defensive Formation protecting the light-attribute Practitioners became impregnable.
The mountain of black fog shielding the Giant Snake was gradually dispersed by the light-attribute Cultivation Technique, revealing a small hole through which the body of the Giant Snake could be clearly seen thrashing in the seawater.
"Hurry and strike it! Try to inflict heavy damage!" Xia Mo shouted.
If he could have gathered the energy for "Doomsday Sunlight" right then, he would have undoubtedly slashed at that hole without hesitation. However, this Cultivation Technique was simply too tedious to consolidate, and he didn't dare use the Sunlight Sword that hadn't properly formed yet. He must wait for a strike with absolute certainty.
"You beast! Eat my sword!"
Seeing the hole, Song Mobei became excited, immediately conjuring a hundred-meter golden Longsword in the air and forcefully spurred his True Qi towards the hole.
"Creation of the Godly Essence Technique! Slaying Strike!"
Before Song Mobei's sword could strike, Mu Huanqing, enraged by her subordinates being killed earlier, had already thrust her silver spear into the hole.
"Boom—"
A streak of silver light flashed across the sky from Mu Huanqing's hand; in the next moment, a thunderous boom erupted from within the black fog, and the surrounding seawater shot into the sky as though boiling.
The body of the Giant Snake within the black fog began to twist violently, unleashing deafening roars. In a matter of moments, the blood from the Black Snake surged onto the surface of the sea around them.
Pained, the Black Snake immediately pressed its exposed hole in the black fog under the water, preventing humans from attacking again.
At that moment, Song Mobei's golden sword finally cleaved down from the sky, but the hole had already been submerged by the Giant Snake, and the strike only hit the black fog, causing no substantive damage to the Giant Snake.
All the soldiers, seeing the Giant Snake heavily injured, became invigorated.
"The beast is injured! The method works! Keep containing it!"
"Protect light-attribute Practitioners! Others, reduce the containment area! Wait until the black fog around it disperses, then deliver a fatal blow!"
"Madame Xuan and General Song's cooperation this time was flawless! Otherwise, who knows how many soldiers it would've taken to inflict such damage on it!"
...
Listening to the rousing voices of the surrounding soldiers and floating in midair, Song Mobei couldn't help but grit his teeth. His chance to shine had been stolen by Mu Huanqing!
Although he didn't think his sword strike was stronger than Mu Huanqing's attack, in fact, her Hundred Martial Divine Weapon had greater destructive power than his Spirit Form. Still, he was very annoyed that all the glory that should have been his had been snatched away!
Turning his head to glance at the immortally beautiful Mu Huanqing, Song Mobei's face showed no expression, but his heart was filled with rage verging on madness.
It was because of this woman that he had been relegated to second place for who knows how many years. Everything was second—True Qi, Spirit Form, Cultivation Level... Everything he prided himself on was overshadowed by this woman!
"Mu Huanqing! Just wait for the day you marry me!"
When Song Mobei's inner fury was roaring, suddenly, Mu Huanqing cast a glance his way from midair, replete with supreme indifference. The moment he met her gaze, all of Song Mobei's malicious thoughts involuntarily shattered.
Every man who had seen Mu Huanqing felt this way. Her beauty instinctively made them want to possess her, tempting them to fantasize in their minds. But upon seeing the pupils of her eyes, they would also feel a sense of holiness that forbade violation, eventually shattering all their fantasies with this sense of sacrality.
As for Fang Ren, he was an exception, for he never fantasized about his own wife. He was a man of action.
