Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 358

"Commander, that's him. He brought five hundred men and beguiled us to the slop. He set us up," blustered a Deputy Commander beside Commander Zuo. He was the one who had been given a bum steer into believing there were thousands of opponents and had summoned backup, but only to find out everything was a diversionary maneuver.

So when he saw Rocky again, he could barely suppress his eagerness to tear Rocky into segments.

"So he is the one who delivered the supplies to the Rough Slope?" Commander Zuo narrowed his eyes and regarded Rocky from head to toe. There was something peculiar about this individual. It was hard to explain from his appearance how powerful this individual was. But no doubt he had an aggressive aspect and demeanor of a leader.

"You, there. Identify yourself!" Commander Zuo pointed at Rocky, his voice thick with condescension.

"I'm just a nobody," Rocky smiled disparagingly.

"Gratifying to realize that you are apprehensive of that. I will grant you an opportunity. You and your men throw in the towel now; I will let you live. Otherwise, this place will be your graveyard," declared Commander Zuo, so arrogant as if he had an assured victory and the lives of Rocky and his men were in his hand.

"I was going to suggest the same to you. Since I'm here now, I'll see to it that you perish here." Rocky pointed at Commander Zuo with his Frozen Wind Dagger. His commanding presence and authoritative voice could shake the hearts of the staunchest men at the spot.

Commander Zuo's face altered. He didn't expect such a response from Rocky. Rocky's ranting making his hackles rise, he waved his hand and gave a command, "Kill them all!"

All the two thousand soldiers and several spirit manipulators from the Timber Deity Empire swarmed in.

"Don't challenge them head-on. Just hold them off. Leave the rest to me." Rocky turned to the spirit manipulators and soldiers behind him and gave his command.

"Progress!" .Rocky narrowed his eyes and moved forward with his men to engage in a fight.

Both sides of spirit manipulators and spirit-manipulated beasts were the first to get into contact with each other, and instantly the soldiers joined the contending. They fought in a chaos of blood and mud. Solemnly declaring, bellowing, scraping of metals, forlorn cry filled the battleground.

Rocky wove a trail through the brawling crowd, his eyes sharp and luminous like the point of a sword. Stride by stride, he was closing the distance between him and Commander Zuo, who was still on his horse. From time to time, there were soldiers hopped out seeking to deter Rocky, only to be swept away by the casual swings of his Frozen Wind Dagger.

Rocky was not his normal self. His face was hard and grim, his glance brisk and diabolical, his eyes sharp as swords. The bloodlust radiating from him was almost palpable, making the crowd chilled.

Commander Zuo saw Rocky rushing toward him menacingly, and his face changed. Rocky sprang into his eyes like a predator who was bracing to pounce on his prey.

Rocky went on determinedly with bodies lying bleeding on his wake. Just before he was about to get to Commander Zuo, a figure scrambled out and thwarted his way.
