Chapter 1597 Stop Them
Not long after, amander of the spiritual race leading a troop of three thousand soldiers arrived.
However, to their surprise, they only saw Rocky there. Of course, themander felt strange and
immediately thought that it was a trap, so he became wary and looked around vigntly.
"You don''t have to worry about a sneak attack. I''m the only one here. I''ve actually asked the others to
leave in advance," Rocky said indifferently.
"What did you say? You asked them to leave you here alone? Why? Do you think you can stop us by
yourself?" Themanderughed and thought that Rocky was crazy.
"Yes. That is exactly what I''m going to do. Do you have a problem with that?" Rocky asked with a
shrug.
"Don''t be so full of yourself! What can you do to stop us by yourself?" The expression on the face of the
commander changed as he deemed that Rocky was not joking around.
"Well, who says I''m alone?" Rocky sneered and immediately summoned the Purple-ming Phoenix.
As the spiritual beast came out, themander was instantly shocked. After all, it was well-known that
ordinarily, the human race could not control a spiritual beast.
"Humph! So what? Do you think you and your beast can stop a force of three thousand? We will kill you
in a few moments and chase after yourrades!" Obviously, themander was not threatened
because he was confident of his troop''s strength.
"Are you sure about that? You can still go back if you want. I''m giving you the opportunity to live
another day. Otherwise, it''s going to be the end for you." Rocky''s eyes somehow turned serious now.
"Arrogant brat! Know your ce! Kill him!" Themander grew furious by Rocky''s provocation and
taunts. Hence, he immediately gave the order to kill him without hesitation.
Soon enough, arge number of soldiers and spirit warriors of the spiritual race swarmed towards
Rocky and the Purple-ming Phoenix.
"Don''t say I didn''t give you a chance. Purple-ming Phoenix, go ahead and y with them!" Rocky
also gave themand to the Purple-ming Phoenix, which appeared to be very eager to ughter
the enemies in front of it.
Then, it savagely rushed towards the soldiers and spirit warriors, not intending to keep anyone alive.
At the same time, Rocky also didn''t intend to show any mercy. He released the aura of the Spiritual
Infant and unsheathed his Mystical Dragon Sword. The next moment, he threw it into the air and
performed the Thousand-star Swordsmanship right off the bat. In a sh, dazzling starlight emerged in
the sky and fell down into the army of the spiritual race like zing meteors.
"Argh!"
In an instant, the area was filled with the echoes of miserable and painful screams.
In less than five minutes, hundreds of members of the army were either killed or injured. Meanwhile,
they weren''t even able to touch the hem of Rocky''s clothes.
Themander was so infuriated that he couldn''t take it anymore. Although he could see that Rocky
was indeed powerful, his Spiritual Infant was also at the medium stage. He immediately summoned two
spirit warriors whose Spiritual Infants were at the primary stage. With their joint efforts, themander
attempted to take Rocky down.

"Hmm. Don''t you have a more powerful master in the spiritual race?" Rocky asked with a mocking grin
as he saw that themander was now desperately trying to beat him by joining hands with his
underlings.
As a result, themander almost exploded in embarrassment. He wasted no time and waved the
weapon in his hand while he fixed his eyes on Rocky. At the same time, the two spirit warriors did their
best to distract Rocky and restrain his movements.
However, Rocky had already faced this kind of situation countless times. Therefore, he knew exactly
how to deal with them. He slowly approached one of the two spirit warriors before suddenly speeding
up. At the same time, the Mystical Dragon Sword in his hand instantly shed with a silver light.
"Argh!"
A shrilling scream soared into the sky as the hand of the spirit warrior flew up. His blood gushed and
sshed everywhere.
Themander roared in anger as soon as he saw that Rocky maimed one of his most capable
subordinates with just a single move. Then, the weapon in his hand turned into three beams of light. As
themander made his move, the beams of light darted out and surrounded Rocky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, Rocky was engulfed by the spiritual power of the beams of light.
"Humph! You are too arrogant for a mere weakling." Seeing that Rocky wasn''t able to dodge his
spiritual skill, themander could not help but think that he had overestimated Rocky''s abilities.
However, the very next moment, he heard another scream nearby. When themander turned his
head, his eyes widened upon seeing that the other spirit warrior was pierced in the chest by a huge
sword. Immediately after, his already lifeless body fell to the ground with a loud thud.
In less than a few minutes, Rocky had effortlessly killed the two spirit warriors that assisted the
commander. Of course, this scene shocked every member of the spiritual race that was present. In
fact, most of the soldiers and spirit warriors trembled and froze in fear. They could not step forward or
dare to make a move, knowing that Rocky could kill them in a sh. Hence, all of them retreated with
horrified expressions on their faces.
With this turn of events, the face of themander turned extremely gloomy. He realized that he
overestimated himself. Now, he understood why Rocky had the guts to face his entire troop all by
himself.
"Damn it! Retreat!" Deeming that the situation was already unwinnable, themander immediately
ordered his subordinates to retreat. Otherwise, they would just waste their lives. Rocky would just y
them one after another, like trampling upon ants on the ground.
While themander escaped with his troop, Rocky didn''t try to chase after them. In his opinion, killing
a few powerful warriors of the spiritual race would not really make a huge impact in the current
situation.
Right now, the most important thing was that he must immediately return to the Tiger Whisker Pass to
rendezvous with Tucker and the rest of the army.
Therefore, Rocky rode on the back of the Purple-ming Phoenix and flew towards the troops the
Maxwell took away earlier.
"Grand Commander Phelps! We have bad news!" Meanwhile, Phelps had not yet recovered from the
fact that he was fooled, but twomanders came rushing in and were about to tell something that
would displease him further.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were tasked to guard the Tiger Whisker Pass!" The moment
Phelps saw the twomanders that were supposed to be guarding the Tiger Whisker Pass, his eyes
opened wide, specting that something wrong was going on.
"Sir, we lost the Tiger Whisker Pass." The twomanders lowered their heads and were pretty
embarrassed to show their faces.
"What did you say? How did that happen? What the hell is going on?" Phelps clenched his fists and
roared in anger.
After heaving a deep breath, the twomanders told him what happened. Of course, they tried their
best to make it very clear that they only withdrew because they had no other choice.
After Phelps heard everything they had to say, his face turned livid. He never expected that they would
lose the Tiger Whisker Pass. Moreover, the human army that was supposed to be besieged by them
also disappeared without a trace. These two failures surely dealt a huge blow for the spiritual race.
However, because of all the experiences that Phelps had umted all these years, he soon
realized Rocky''s real intention.
"Give this order to all the soldiers right now. We are going to pull out the whole camp and go back to
the Tiger Whisker Pass!" Phelpsmanded decisively, knowing that the human army must be on
their way back to the Tiger Whisker Pass already. Therefore, if they could arrive before the human
army did, they could intercept them and capture them once again. Most importantly, they could regain
control of the Tiger Whisker Pass.
Under the vigorous and resolute order of Phelps, other than the troops of the threemanders that
were tasked to chase after the human army, the rest of the spiritual race armies immediately prepared
to rush back to the Tiger Whisker Pass.
At this point, both the human race and the spiritual race were in a race against time.
All the troops that were led by Tucker had just entered the tunnel and were rushing back to the Tiger
Whisker Pass at their top speed.
At the same time, since Phelps had discerned what the human army was really up to, he responded by
taking the army of the spiritual race back to the Tiger Whisker Pass, thinking that they could outsmart
them. However, no matter how fast they were, there was no way that they could arrive earlier than
Tucker''s army, which took the best shortcut back to the pass.
