Chapter 2143 [Shangxie] Hard Work Miss Xia
The night was long and cruel.
At dawn, Xia Fuyi retreated from the pile of rocks and walked outside. His body swayed, and he stretched out his hands to support the stone wall.
Qingze, who was standing by, quickly supported her and gave her some water.
No matter how powerful her martial arts skills were, her internal energy was not inexhaustible. After performing the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin technique more than ten times in one night, her body was already at its limit.
She slowly sat down on the ground, holding onto the rock wall. After taking a breath, she looked up. Lian Tang, who had been staying there, understood and exerted force to push the huge rock down again.
The huge rock rolled down and hit the soldier who was trying to climb out. Without a sound, he turned into a pool of flesh and blood and was crushed under the rock.
Xia Fuyi was resting, while Lian Tang and Qingze were responsible for guarding the remaining soldiers.
The terrain formed by the heavy rain in the previous two days was a godsend for them, truly a one-man-block pass against ten thousand.
"My Wanjian Guizong can only command a thousand sword spirits at a time."
As the two men were guarding the pile of rocks, a faint voice suddenly came from behind.
Qingze looked back and saw that Xia Fuyi had put her hood back on. She leaned against the stone wall, with the hood covering most of her face, revealing only her pointed and delicate jaw and lips that had lost some color. This made her look a little weaker than usual, but even so, her voice was still cold, without any awareness of being injured.
"It will take at least five days to trap and kill them all here, but we don't have enough food."
Lian Tang continued to watch the remaining soldiers below who were trying to rush up with vigilance, and said without turning his head,
"Let Qingze go back and ask for reinforcements. We don't need too many people. This terrain is very favorable for us. Just a few hundred people will be enough."
Qingze thought about it, but said no need.
"It would take at least five days to get back to the main camp and bring people over. We've already stayed overnight. Judging by the time, it would be better to wait until His Majesty realizes that he's not sending people over. Besides, the situation is already difficult. If one more person leaves, we might not be able to hold out with only two people."
Xia Fuyi seemed to think about it and finally agreed.
She leaned her head against the stone wall behind her and closed her eyes.
Qingze looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed softly.
"It's going to be hard for Miss Xia."
Xia Fuyi opened her eyes and looked at him quietly. The pale golden color in her pupils had faded, returning to their usual obsidian-like purity and coldness.
Qingze then said with a firm look,
"But don't worry, Miss Xia. Lian Tang and I will protect you until reinforcements arrive, even if it costs us our lives."
Xia Fuyi didn't say much, and quickly closed her eyes and rested.

Unexpectedly, the first person to notice something was wrong was someone none of the three had expected.
In fact, Changsun Chi has not had an easy time these few days. Not only does he have to arrange tactics and take the overall situation into consideration every day, but he also has to pay attention to the news from Chiwei Shenjing at any time, be wary of Changsun Qingzhao who is trying to trip him up from behind, and at the same time he has to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Such an urgency that seemed as if twelve hours were not enough was simply not something that ordinary people could bear, but he did not allow himself to show the slightest sign of fatigue in front of others, which made some soldiers who had never fought with him look at him with admiration, and those soldiers who had fought with him to defeat Gumo were even more proud and respectful, feeling that after many years, the young general had grown into a more terrifying person.
