The Medallion novel Chapter 1562

Rocky's real plan was to seize the commander of the army of the spiritual race and take him as a hostage. That way, they would have leverage and they could ensure a smooth escape from the Crescent Gorge.

Of course, it was not an easy task to just capture the commander of the opposing party right in front of the spiritual race's army. However, for someone like Rocky, who had already experienced every kind of challenge and tribulation, this was not something that he couldn't pull off.

Right after Rocky showed up, he instantly attracted the attention of the enemy commander, as well as the soldiers of the spiritual race who were putting the fire out.

"Hey! Who the hell are you?" The commander had a ferocious expression on his face as he glared at Rocky. He could not fathom where this guy got the guts to show up right in front of them.

Soon enough, some of the soldiers managed to surround Rocky.

"Are you the commander of this army?" Rocky asked straightforwardly. There was no hint of fear or panic in his voice.

"So, what if I am?" the commander answered with a defiant sneer.

"Good. I am actually looking for you," Rocky said indifferently.

"You, despicable human! How dare you set our grain warehouse on fire? You even tried to let your comrades escape! You sure are pretty arrogant for someone that is about to die!" Since Rocky bravely appeared in front of them, the commander guessed that he should be the one who started the fire.

"So what? Your army ambushed our troops first. I don't want to hear someone like you call me despicable! You even set up a camp here in the Crescent Gorge and made trouble for my companions. Don't you dare make me the bad person here!" Rocky snorted coldly.

"Humph! I don't care what you say. Guards! Take that imbecile down!" the commander ordered firmly.

In an instant, over a hundred soldiers swarmed towards Rocky and were very eager to bring him down.

Seeing this, Rocky also made his move and released the Purple-flaming Phoenix from the Magic Spiritual Space. The moment the spiritual beast came out, it immediately shocked the soldiers.

"Wait. Is that a spiritual beast?" one of them asked.

"Yes, it is a spiritual beast! He actually has one!" another exclaimed in surprise.

"But how? I thought it is almost impossible for a mere human spirit warrior to subdue a spiritual beast. And this one doesn't look ordinary either!"

All of a sudden, the soldiers of the spiritual race were thrown into a state of chaos. They quickly backed off and maintained their distance from Rocky and the Purple-flaming Phoenix.

Seeing that Rocky summoned a spiritual beast whose aura was actually comparable to that of a premium-stage spiritual beast, the commander was obviously infuriated.

"Go and play with them for a while," Rocky murmured to the Purple-flaming Phoenix as he let out a devious grin.

Heeding Rocky's order, the Purple-flaming Phoenix immediately spread its wings and directly rushed towards the soldiers of the spiritual race. It then opened its mouth and spurted a vicious purple flame column that easily swept across the entire area. In the blink of an eye, many soldiers of the spiritual race were burnt to a crisp and were vanquished.

"What are you doing? Kill the beast and that human!" The commander gathered all the spirit warriors and ordered them to go all out.

With this, more and more spirit warriors rushed out. However, their strength was only at the sixth or seventh grade of the Spirit Realm. Hence, even if they combined all of their powers, they were not able to resist the attacks of the Purple-flaming Phoenix.

At this point, those with Spiritual Infants were sent to chase Deputy Commander Ma and Eunice. Therefore, among the remaining ones, only the commander was able to keep up against the Purple-flaming Phoenix.

However, Rocky was approaching him.

The commander immediately perceived that Rocky's strength was also not to be underestimated. However, since he was at the premium stage of the Spiritual Infant, he was still confident that he could take on Rocky without a problem. After all, he was only inferior to warriors that were at the Emperor Realm.

As he was trying to launch a counterattack, the commander turned his head a little and clenched his fists. Then, he suddenly took a step forward, opened his mouth, and roared mightily. In the blink of an eye, a monstrous sound wave like that of a lion's roar, containing strong spiritual power, rushed towards Rocky. At the same time, the dust intensely rose as huge fissures appeared on the ground.

The commander's roar was extremely powerful that it could easily send shivers to anyone.

However, Rocky wasn't even fazed with this. Instead, he just calmly wielded his Mystical Dragon Sword and swiftly unleashed a violent sword force that instantly clashed with the intense sound wave. Upon collision, the sound wave was actually divided into two parts and just brushed past Rocky from his sides.

However, just when the commander thought that his battle with Rocky was already finished, he suddenly saw that Rocky's body disappeared on the ground.

Seeing this, the commander instantly became wary. At the same time, he was stunned that someone like Rocky would be able to handle his full-blown attack.

Then, in the blink of an eye, a figure suddenly climbed out from the ground. Streaks of sword light instantly intertwined into a net that enveloped the commander.

The commander's eyes instantly widened, caught off guard by Rocky's sneaky counterattack. He did not expect that Rocky was still able to fight back after being heavily injured.

At this moment, the commander was completely shrouded in Rocky's sword net.

Not giving up, the commander immediately crossed his arms and gathered all his strength. Then, he unleashed a monstrous power that formed a spiritual power barrier to negate the sword net.

Just as the commander thought that Rocky's surprise attack was about to fail, countless streaks of starlight suddenly bolted out and continuously condensed to hit him like meteors.

"Take that! Thousand-star Swordsmanship!" A familiar voice rang in the ears of the commander as he was about to be swallowed by the dazzling starlight.

In a flash, the armor of the commander shone brightly as the sword power hit it directly. Just a moment after, the silver armor disintegrated into pieces.

As the commander received a direct hit from Rocky's sword skill, he could not help but spit a mouthful of blood.

The next moment, the commander felt that Rocky's Mystical Dragon Sword was pressed against his neck.

The soldiers of the spiritual race, who had been cheering for their commander earlier, were suddenly rendered speechless. They were completely dumbfounded to see that their powerful commander would actually lose to a mere human spirit warrior.

Even the commander himself was flabbergasted and was in disbelief of what just happened.
