In his previous life, Nan Gongjing suffered a tragic betrayal and, despite being rescued, still met a miserable end. Now, returning to the eve of his awakening, he vows to make those who harmed him...
Chapter 207
Chapter 207
When the two magics collided in the air, Fate's attacking magic also reached the city wall.
Xuanyuan Xingyao did not let the magician take action, but directly drew out the Star Sword himself. Then the gray-black sword energy and evil energy merged and collided with the magic in the air.
It is different from the violent magic fluctuations produced when two magics collide.
When the sword energy and magic collided, the sword energy directly dissolved the magic.
"Xuanyuan Xingyao's strength seems to have grown a lot stronger."
Qiao Linqi saw Xuanyuan Xingyao and easily dispelled the magic released by five high-level magicians together.
Even though the move released at the beginning was not a powerful one, the fact that Xuanyuan Xingyao was able to resolve it so easily also shows how powerful Xuanyuan Xingyao is.
"Rather than saying his sword energy is strong, it's better to say his evil spirit is strong."
Qu Yang looked at the concentration of evil energy generated by Xuanyuan Xingyao when he swung his sword, and his expression was a little solemn.
Qu Yang had always heard that Xuanyuan Xingyao had been carrying an evil spirit since he was born.
During the last mainland college competition, I also saw the strong murderous aura on Xuanyuan Xingyao.
But when they met this time, Qu Yang always felt that Xuanyuan Xingyao's murderous aura had become a little strange.
It’s not that the evil energy has increased, but that it has become stronger, or in other words, Xuanyuan Xingyao has gained better control over the evil energy.
If evil spirit enters the brain, it can easily cause mental confusion. On the battlefield, evil spirit can play a significant role.
Xuanyuan Xingyao had no idea that Qu Yang was afraid of him. After he dispelled the magic, he attacked the army directly with a sword.
Qu Yang looked at the sword light attacking the army, and without waiting for Qiao Linqi to speak, he directly rushed forward with a spear.
When the gun and the sword collided, Qu Yang's expression became more serious, because he found that Xuanyuan Xingyao was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
Xuanyuan Xingyao and Qu Yang were fighting fiercely here, while on the other side Qiao Linqi was leading his army to prepare for the attack on the city.
Flaming stones were constantly thrown down from the city walls, so Qiao Lingqi asked the soldiers to carry shields and walk in front.
Several soldiers attacked the city gate directly with force, but they were all resolved by the defensive formation engraved on the city gate.
But the defensive formation is not omnipotent. When it reaches its limit, the city gate will still be broken.
Therefore, when he felt the city gate being hit, Mao Yunkai, who had been guarding behind the city gate, directly opened the city gate.
And the moment the city gate was opened, several sharp sword shadows flew out.
The attacking soldiers probably had no idea that Mao Yunkai would play in such an unconventional way.
Therefore, he had no time to dodge and was hit directly by the knife shadow.
Mao Yunkai is not the kind of person who would try things out first, he started with a big move.
The warriors who were hit by the knife shadows flew backwards and spit out blood one by one.
Although they were not injured to the point of being unable to fight, they were still injured to varying degrees.
The soldiers who were attacking the city did not expect the city gate to suddenly open.
When Mao Yunkai led his soldiers to rush out, some of the soldiers who were attacking the city were still unable to react.
It was Qiao Linqi who reacted faster. As soon as he saw Mao Yunkai, he immediately ordered the soldiers to change their formation.
When Mao Yunkai led his army out, Fate's formation became the most difficult to break.
The soldiers on Mao Yunkai's side had no way to disperse them. Instead, they changed positions from time to time, with some defending while others attacking. With a clear division of labor, they killed many of their soldiers.
The last time Mao Yunkai fought with Qiao Lingqi, Qiao Lingqi lost a lot of soldiers and was unable to form a formation.
So this was Mao Yunkai's first time facing Fate's strange formation.
Looking at the soldiers, no matter how hard they tried, they could not break up their formation, and instead they lost a lot of people on their side.
Mao Yunkai finally understood why Mao Yunyuan, who was as capable as himself in leading troops, had lost so badly before.
Mao Yunkai took a look at the situation on the field and knew that it was impossible to win using ordinary methods, so Mao Yunkai came up with a strange idea.
"Have all the soldiers stand together. Don't spread out. The closer together the better. Form an arrow shape."
Although Mao Yunkai's deputy general was a little confused about what Mao Yunkai said and didn't know why he made such an arrangement, he still obediently passed it on.
Even the deputy general couldn't understand Mao Yunkai's intention, let alone the soldiers.
But even though they didn't understand, the first thing the soldiers learned after entering the military camp was to obey.
Therefore, as soon as the deputy general's order was passed down, the soldiers immediately stood in line according to Mao Yunkai's instructions.
Mao Yunkai's move was not only incomprehensible to his own people, but also to Qiao Linqi and others.
Qiao Linqi was just confused at first. Mao Yunkai hid all the soldiers behind him, so how could he attack them?
But soon Qiao Lingqi discovered that Mao Yunkai asked the soldiers to stand in the shape of an arrow.
Standing in the front were Mao Yunkai and several deputy generals, as well as many magicians of various disciplines and even warriors.
In other words, if you want to kill the soldiers on Shui Ling's side, you must first eliminate the location of the arrow.
But the people standing at the arrow position, whether it is Mao Yunkai or those magicians, are not so easy to deal with.
Moreover, magicians and warriors were standing interspersed, and almost every magician was protected by a warrior.
Qiao Linqi didn't believe that he wanted to deal with the magician first. It can be said that although Mao Yunkai's move was still unable to break through Fate's defense and wipe out Fate's soldiers.
However, it also made it impossible for Fate to take action, thus preserving his own military strength to the maximum extent.
Nangong Jing did not participate in this battle, but he stood on the city wall and paid attention to the situation on the battlefield.
Therefore, he noticed all of Mao Yunkai's actions, and when he saw that the soldiers on Fate's side were helpless against Shui Ling.
Nangong Jing just wanted to say, it’s high, really high.
If it were any other time, Mao Yunkai would naturally not believe this move. After all, if the enemy cannot be eliminated, it will be useless no matter how long the delay is.
But what they have to do now is to try their best to maintain their combat effectiveness without arousing Fate's suspicion.
Mao Yunkai's method seems to be unable to break Fate's formation, so he can only use this method to preserve his strength, but in fact it is deliberate.
"Big brother is worthy of being the big brother."
Mao Yunyuan really admired his elder brother for being able to come up with such an idea. If it were him, he would not be able to think of it even if he racked his brains.
"General Mao is really amazing."
Nangong Jing said sincerely.
Xuanyuan Xingyao is also very strong in leading troops in battle, as if he was born to fight.
Of course, their dreams later made them realize that these abilities were brought from Xuanyuan Xingyao's previous life.
However, if Xuanyuan Xingyao really met Mao Yunkai on the battlefield, even Xuanyuan Xingyao might not be able to deal with Mao Yunkai's move today.
Nangong Jing was quite glad that the Shuiling Kingdom did not have too big ambitions, otherwise it would have been a headache for the Longying Empire.
Xuanyuan Xingyao and Qu Yang were fighting fiercely in the air, but soon they both noticed something was wrong.
It was so quiet down there, so quiet that it didn't seem like a battlefield at all.
So after a fierce collision, the two of them separated from each other and then floated in the air to see what had happened.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao looked down, he almost laughed out loud. He really admired Mao Yunkai's talent.
Qu Yang frowned, obviously not expecting Mao Yunkai to play such a trick. This trick was indeed not easy to break.
After seeing this scene, Qu Yang lost the mood to continue fighting with Xuanyuan Xingyao and simply fell into his own team.
Qu Yang retreated, and Xuanyuan Xingyao naturally would not chase him. He directly joined his own team and stood next to Mao Yunkai.
Together they became the most indestructible wall of defense in the army.
"General Qu, do you have any good ideas?"
As soon as Qiao Linqi saw Qu Yang coming back, he immediately asked in a low voice.
How could Qu Yang have any good solution? If he had one, he would have solved it just now.
Qu Yang shook his head with a serious face.
"I don't have any good solutions. If we want to deal with the soldiers, we must first deal with Xuanyuan Xingyao, Mao Yunkai and the others, but..."
Although Qu Yang didn't finish his words, Qiao Linqi still didn't understand.
With their strength, it would be difficult, extremely difficult to deal with Xuanyuan Xingyao and the others.
The arrowhead formation on Mao Yunkai's side seems to be an offensive formation, but it is actually a defensive formation.
On Fate's side, he has been attacking in a defensive manner.
It's defense against defense, it's strange that this battle can be fought.
If Fate really wants to fight, he can only change his formation into a purely offensive one.
But if they really do that, they will give up their advantage.
Therefore, Qu Yang and Qiao Linqi were in a very difficult situation at this time, not knowing how to fight this battle.
"Retreat first and think carefully about what to do before coming back."
Qu Yang also knew that if he retreated now, the battle would be a bit anticlimactic.
But if there is no good solution, there is no point in continuing to waste time.
What else could Qiao Linqi do except agree?
During Fate's retreat, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Mao Yunkai did not move at all.
Fearing that they were just feinting, Mao Yunkai waited until they were almost out of sight before announcing his return to the city.
"Brother, how did you come up with this trick? It's amazing."
As soon as he returned to the city, Mao Yunkai was stopped by Mao Yunyuan who came down from the city wall, and was then praised.
"I just had a sudden inspiration. Since a strong attack doesn't work, let's defend."
Mao Yunkai didn't expect the effect to be so good. Fate's side actually retreated directly.
"So from now on, should we just do this every time?"
A deputy general said a little excitedly.
The person who answered this question was not Mao Yunkai, but Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Xuanyuan Xingyao just shook his head and said.
"No, when they come again, they will definitely find a way to crack it. And using a passive defensive approach every time will easily arouse Fate's suspicion."
"So what should we do?"
When everyone heard Xuanyuan Xingyao's words, they thought so too. Qiao Linqi and Qu Yang were not fools either.
Knowing that there is no way to defeat them, we still waste energy attacking them.
If this happens again, they will definitely think of a way to crack it before sending troops. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading
