Ah Zhu had experienced that feeling of restlessness many times, and she didn't want to experience it again, let alone revisit it. Xia Xiao looked at her figure, and didn't think much about how she felt when he was not around, and immediately felt a little guilty.
As if to prove that he would not be a drag, Ah Zhu swung the short sword in his hand with greater force when he stepped forward, and with the use of his vitality, he chopped down the soldiers. But Xia Xiao had already been moved and would not say anything to let him go back.
For some reason, Ah Zhu's first reaction when he saw Xia Xiao was sending him back was that Xia Xiao disliked him for being a hindrance, rather than that he cared about him. Perhaps this was the difference between Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu. There was something missing between them that would allow them to understand each other more deeply. But that kind of thing was hard to find, and he didn't know where it was. Only by walking slowly could he have a chance to encounter it.
Xia Xiao was stunned for a long time, and only when the energy beam in his hand gradually dissipated did he regain his attention. If this energy hit Ah Zhu, she would probably be seriously injured or die on the spot. It seemed that he had to stay around her. Xia Xiao looked at Ah Zhu again, waved his hand and urged the metal energy, causing the armor around him to float and dance with the swords, and suddenly went in the direction of the energy beam.
There were screams in the distance, but Xia Xiao just came to Azhu's side and grabbed her left wrist with one hand, making it difficult for her to move.
"I won't leave. I won't leave!"
Ah Zhu screamed and acted like a spoiled child, trying every way to beg Xia Xiao, but Xia Xiao just released a stream of black and purple energy, turning it into a small round shield. Ah Zhu grabbed the slightly heavy but hard enough shield and looked at Xia Xiao, who said indifferently:
"You can go if you want, but just don't die!"
"Even if you die, I won't die."
After Ah Zhu finished speaking, she broke away from Xia Xiao's hand and rushed forward. She swung the dagger in a chopping manner. Even though the sword had vitality, it was still a little curled. However, compared to strength, Ah Zhu, as a warrior, was not afraid of these ordinary soldiers. The sword in the latter's hand bounced back under Ah Zhu's dagger and split his face. Ah Zhu was feeling proud, but an extremely exaggerated black and purple sword energy tore out from the ground beside her and passed by her.
The majestic sword energy tore out and made the world pale in comparison. But Xia Xiao was still swinging his broadsword. On the other side, the air wave he unleashed lifted hundreds of people into the sky. The sharp air wave tore off their armor and clothes in the most brutal and direct way, and also locked their throats and stopped their heartbeats. It was all a piece of cake, no need to be polite.
Xia Xiao raised his eyebrows at Ah Zhu, but the latter snorted and danced with his sword. Ah Zhu had never undergone rigorous military training, and had never heard of physical training. But the reaction of a cultivator was much faster than that of an ordinary person, which gave him enough time to react and make countermeasures. As for physical fitness, cultivators were far ahead of ordinary people.
This is also the reason why cultivators can fight across levels and ordinary people cannot defeat cultivators. From the moment they sense the vitality, cultivators are no longer ordinary people, and every aspect of their bodies will change. Although there are a few people who can fight cultivators with their swordsmanship and their bodies developed to the limit, Ah Zhu is only a step away from the realm of nobility, and is no longer within the range of being defeated by ordinary soldiers, but it is not certain if he is besieged.
A lion on the grassland can easily kill a hyena, but dozens of hyenas can also kill a lion. Now the southern merchants are using this trick when facing the Xia family army. The Xia family army is the sharp weapon of the Great Xia Alliance, and it is also the food they sent. There is no reason for the southern merchants not to eat.
"charge!"
Lin Tian stood at the highest point of the Spinosaurus and could see the Xia Army. They were thousands of meters away and had to push the front line quickly, otherwise their tactics would be useless. But this was a difficult task. The Xia Army was using too much force and the place they were going was too far away, but everyone was exerting their strength.
Under Lin Tian's command, the thornback dragon rushed forward, unstoppable, and headed straight for the Xia family army. Daxia owed Xia Jinghong's family. Most of their family members were present at this time. If something happened again, he would not be able to face the rest of the Xia family, and would have failed the words of the emperor. But they rushed so far, it was really embarrassing!
The Stegosaurus rushed over from the side and knocked down the Spinosaurus. Lin Tian and Tiemian faced each other and were about to start a fateful duel. The former knew that as long as the latter took action, he would not be able to escape, otherwise he would be caught by the latter and defeat him. Therefore, they started a new round of fighting, ignoring their injuries, and the Xia family army also took action.
They must have done it on purpose to run so far, otherwise how could they not keep the distance well? But now is the right time.
"Form a formation!"
Under the lion's roar, no matter what the more than 40,000 soldiers were doing, they stopped what they were doing and quickly retreated.
A long time ago, the Xia family army understood a truth. They were group animals, a wolf pack on the cold grassland. Whether ordinary soldiers or practitioners, they were all members of the wolf pack. Their enemies were all over the grassland, and there must be stronger and more powerful ones than them. If they wanted to defeat them, they had to cooperate, just like now!
The soldiers quickly gathered to form an inner and outer circle. The soldiers in the outer circle held spears and shields to face the enemy, while the soldiers in the inner circle formed four circles and also held up shields.
Strictly obeying orders is the duty of soldiers. They have a general with sufficient strength, and they should trust his decision without hesitation. Before rushing into the Nan Shang camp, they did not bring shields, but it was not difficult to find some shields in the corpses everywhere. Some practitioners stamped their feet to make rock vines rise, which also served as shields. But their gathering made the Nan Shang army continue to shrink inward.
The southern merchants didn't understand what they were up to. Fighting desperately was normal, after all, it was their only way. But now they were passively surrounded. Did they think that their hundreds of thousands of people couldn't break through their shield formation of more than 40,000 people? This thought aroused the anger of the southern merchants. Since they looked down on them so much, they deserved to be stepped on by themselves.
"Raise your shield!"
The southern merchants had suffered losses in the past, and no matter how arrogant they were, they remained cautious towards the people of the Great Xia Alliance. At this time, the soldiers in the front row all raised their shields and kept moving forward, as if they wanted to force the Xia family army to death.
With this momentum, even if these people had wings and flew to the sky, they would be shot down. But they didn't need to worry about it. Xia Xiao was very happy now, and he wished that the soldiers were more densely packed. What Xia Xiao wanted was to crowd them together and then eat them all in one bite.
"Hold on!"
The soldiers of the Xia family army admitted that their number was somewhat surprising. They had not noticed it before, but now they gathered together and blocked all the way around, which was frightening. The dark-cloud-like soldiers of the Southern Merchants kept moving forward, causing a commotion that made the soldiers of the Xia family army unable to stand and retreat. But when Xia Jinghong shouted loudly, everyone steadied their steps and gritted their teeth waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
Everyone was a little scared, but they believed that Xia Xiao would do something. They looked out from the corner of the shield and saw that the soldiers of Nan Shang were getting closer and closer. They were only 30 meters away. If the distance was shortened, it would be difficult for them to counterattack. If they were really surrounded and had no room to move, Nan Shang could stab them with countless holes just by relying on the advantage of numbers.
A drop of sweat flowed down Xia Xiao's forehead. He was honored to have someone accompany him in this kind of gambling, but he couldn't let them really lose their lives.
Waiting tests perseverance, perseverance is the character of wolves. Xia Xiao is not the king of this wolf pack, but he has a mind that all kings respect. The wolf king looked at him, and many wolves cast their eyes at him, but Xia Xiao was still waiting.
The resounding footsteps were a declaration of war by the Nan Shang soldiers, and also a provocation. They seemed to be mocking the changes in the Xia family army. The sound of swords rubbing against shields was so loud that it made people tremble.
"clang--"
There was another neat and crisp metallic sound. This time, Azhu looked at Xia Xiao, but he seemed to be still waiting and needed these guys to come ten meters closer.
The closer the distance is, the more people he can hurt. Although the moves prepared by Xia Xiao cannot be released from in front of him, it may divide the surrounding Nan Shang army into three parts!
Xia Xiao's tactics cannot reach the Xia family army within a hundred meters, because he must ensure the safety of the Xia family army. Starting from a hundred meters away, the soldiers of Nan Shang will face an inescapable impact like a heavenly calamity, which will continue until thousands of meters away. This will be an extremely distinct three-part battlefield, but except for the soldiers close to the Xia family army and thousands of meters away, the rest will be threatened with death, but these people still don't know it.
“The time has come!”
Xia Xiao couldn't wait any longer, and four complex colors of light shot out of his eyes. Different energy emerged from the four circles formed by the Xia family army. Xia Xiao formed seals with his hands, and these pure energy rushed out, straight like a pillar supporting the sky. The talisman array multiplied with the energy, whistling with wind and clouds, and went in all directions.
This time, all the talisman arrays that Xia Xiao had prepared in the scroll would be used up, but there was no need to pity them. Instead, he cooperated with Ju Mang and the others to call upon the vital energy in the Five Elements Space.
These talisman arrays were often hundreds of meters wide, and some were even nearly a thousand meters wide. The vitality they brought up created waves of energy, attracting the attention of countless people on the battlefield. But when the Xia family soldiers looked up, they were proud, while when the Southern Merchants looked up, they were doomed.
The power of the talisman array lies in its vitality, not its size. This is a truth that everyone understands, but now that they are displayed, it is enough to make the entire battlefield come to a sudden halt, without any movement. The last time Xia Xiao performed it, there were only forty, but this time there were as many as sixty.
Seeing this, Sehan realized that something was wrong. He distanced himself from Lin Tian and called out to the strong men in Qulun Realm, but no one answered.
The Qulun practitioners of Nan Shang had been forced into the Silent World by their peers from the Great Xia Alliance. Si Tianhua and his men were fighting hard to prevent these strong men from returning to the outside world. Although they would be seriously injured, and some would even stay in the Silent World forever, they still chose to take the risk because it was necessary to make Nan Shang lose most of its troops. If it was difficult for them to do it, Xia Xiao would do it.
Everyone was a little confused looking at the dazzling array of talismans, but Lin Tian took the lead and said:
"Raise your shield and prepare to block the blast!"
Tiemian realized the seriousness of the situation and screamed to get everyone to leave the doomed team quickly. But he was too late. The talisman array began to work, scattering his voice in the air and causing his heart to tremble. That feeling was true destruction!
