Chapter 153 General Yuwen
The cries of the fire crows were sharp and loud, coming from all directions, like evil spirits demanding lives in the sky, and everyone on the boat was terrified when they heard it.
In this section of the Sui River, the river is three hundred feet wide, the water flows gently, and large ships seem to be sailing on a calm lake.
As November arrived, the weather suddenly turned cold.
At night, a slight mist rose from the river surface, and the shore was shrouded in darkness, with endless hills.
The ship was forced to stop.
The three water lions pulling the boat had been shot dead, their bodies floating on the water, and their blood dyed the river red.
The ship's Hundred Tokens defensive array had already been activated. Hundreds of array symbols floated in the air, forming a glowing sphere that completely enveloped the three-story ship, which was more than 70 meters long.
Li Weiyi stood by the railing of the first-floor corridor, observing the Night City cavalry on the river. There were nearly three hundred of them, surrounding the ship in all directions, constantly shooting arrows and spitting out fireballs to attack the ship's defensive formation.
“Boom!”
The fireball was spit out from the mouth of the Fire Crow mount. It was extremely powerful and hit the light curtain of the formation. It instantly dispersed and turned into a fire cloud several meters in size.
The entire formation light shield almost turned into a fireball.
Li Weiyi felt as if he was in the midst of a huge army, and the pressure of death was overwhelming. He said solemnly, "No negotiations? Logically speaking, these barbarians should be mainly after money. If they really force us into a desperate situation, they will suffer a lot in a desperate fight."
Yin Shisan said, "We could have dealt with it by handing over some of our property. We have encountered this before. But this time is different. This group of Night City cavalry has probably been scouting us since we entered Zhizhou. They know there are many young and beautiful women on the ship, so they are here to wipe us out."
"The Night City cavalry we usually encounter can number up to a hundred, which is considered a large-scale force!"
"This time, there are about three hundred cavalrymen. According to the ratio of ten to one Fire Crow Cavalrymen, the number of Five Sea Realm masters is probably close to thirty."
Then Yin Shisan told Li Weiyi that the Fire Crow Cavalry was the elite among the elite of Night City. They were specifically responsible for plundering caravans and wealthy towns, raising military pay and supplies, and radiating to the three states in the southern border. Wherever they passed, no grass grew, and anyone who encountered them would be in bad luck.
There are countless examples of Five Seas Realm martial artists being hunted down.
"There are no Dao Seed Realm masters among this group of Fire Crow Cavalry, right?"
Li Weiyi has been observing carefully and sensing attentively, trying to find out the enemy's true strength.
"How is that possible? Daozhong realms are mostly top-level figures. If a being of this level comes, he can break the ship protection formation with one punch."
Yin Shisan knew everything in the world and knew all the masters in the Southern Territory. He pointed to a giant fire crow with three heads in the night sky and said, "That is the commander of this Fire Crow Cavalry, Yuwen Chao, a veteran master of the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas. He has been notorious in the Southern Territory for sixty years."
Li Weiyi asked, "Brother Thirteen, what is your cultivation level?"
"The fourth realm of the Five Seas." Yin Shisan said truthfully.
Li Weiyi knew that the hidden people of the Hidden Sect were all the most powerful people in the Nine Springs. Their combat power was first-rate in the same realm, and they could even cross realms to fight back.
Yin Shisan heard what was going on, looked at Li Weiyi, and said with emotion: "You don't want to have a fight with this Night City Cavalry, do you?"
Li Weiyi said: "This Night City cavalry is huge in number and powerful, and almost all of them have the cultivation of six or seven springs, but they obviously don't take us seriously and didn't even form a battle formation."
"Because there is no need to form a battle formation."
Yin Shisan added: "If thirty Five Sea Realm masters come over, Yuwen Chao won't even have to make a move, we will all be wiped out! And if something unexpected happens, with the Fire Crows' flying and maneuvering ability, they can form a battle formation in an instant."
"Weiyi, you are not moved by compassion, are you? Yes, there are many children on the ship, even babies. If we escape, they will definitely die. But their lives are not valued so much by their fathers, why should we risk our lives? The situation tonight is beyond our ability."
Li Weiyi said: "There has to be a right and wrong, right?"
Yin Shisan was stunned.
Li Weiyi said: "Although the situation tonight is dangerous, it is not impossible to fight. Li Ling, that day when we were chased by Chen Lian, you asked me whether we should ambush or fight. I said the risk was too great and it was not necessary to fight, so I continued to flee!"
"Same situation, why do you want to fight again today?" Li Ling knew the answer, but still asked this question.
"Because the fight we made that day was just a fight of wills. The fight we made today is to persevere in our hearts. People must have some humanity! Practitioners must have a little sense of responsibility!"
Li Weiyi silently thought and calculated the possibility of defeating the enemy, and then said: "These barbarians burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Wherever they passed, nine out of ten houses were empty and corpses were everywhere. Now that I have encountered them, even if they want to escape, I will make them pay a price."
Li Ling admired Li Weiyi's fighting spirit and warm humanity, and agreed: "I will help you!"
Yin Shisan was infected by Li Weiyi's emotions. He saw the spirit and responsibility of a hidden god in him, but he didn't know where his confidence came from. In the end, he chose to compromise: "Okay, but once I shout to flee, you have to leave."
"Okay, we'll do our best and leave the rest to fate." Li Weiyi nodded in agreement.
The three of them headed to the bow.
As great mind masters, Li Weiyi and Li Ling simultaneously mobilized their spiritual flames and penetrated the core of the formation. Suddenly, more than a hundred formations of the ship protection formation burst into a brighter light than before.
The guard commander Wu Zhaonan was under tremendous pressure and sent his only three Five Seas Realm subordinates to various locations on the ship to control the chaos, take charge of the overall situation, and calm people's hearts.
"As expected of the secret agents of the Attendant Palace, they are all great mind masters."
Wu Zhaonan glanced at Li Weiyi and Li Ling, sighed, and then looked at Yin Shisan, whispering: "The Fire Crow Cavalry is full of experts, we are no match for them. Once the formation is broken, we will immediately join forces to fight our way out, how about that? We can't do anything about this kind of disaster, there is no need to risk our lives for the concubines of those officials."
Yin Shisan's face turned serious, and he snorted, "How can you say such a thing, Commander? People should have some humanity, right? Not for anyone, but for the principles and responsibilities in your heart. If you want to escape, then go ahead. Anyway, Chen will fight to the last drop of blood."
Wu Zhaonan didn't expect the other party to be so evil, and smiled awkwardly: "With what Chen Zhubu said, Wu is relieved! Three hundred Fire Crow Cavalry have surrounded this place tightly, how can they escape? The only way is to fight to the death, or there may be a glimmer of hope."
…
Yuwen Chao, who was standing on the back of the three-headed fire crow, was a deformed human with a green face and a tiger head. He was four meters tall, with armor covering his entire body. The spear in his hand was two meters long. He had a very strong aura, like a demon.
He saw that the light of the ship protection formation became brighter and it would be difficult to break through in a short time. He snorted, "All Five Sea Realm masters, listen to my orders. Follow me and break the formation. Leave no man on the ship alive and take away all the women. Divide the resources and property equally among everyone."
"I swear to follow General Yuwen until death."
The slogans were earth-shaking.
The morale of the Fire Crow Cavalry instantly reached its peak. Nearly thirty of them jumped out, each of them looking heroic. The magical energy on their bodies intertwined like a cloud, and the spears in their hands emitted a bright light of battle.
Yuwen Chao mobilized all his strength and threw the spear in his hand.
The spear was like a bright beam of light, piercing the night sky, making a sharp whistling sound, and slammed into the curtain of the ship protection formation. The curtain suddenly sank and became precarious.
Nearly thirty spears, thrown from the hands of nearly thirty Five Seas Realm martial artists, also fell.
"boom!"
“Boom!”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
…
How could the Hundred Tokens defensive formation withstand the combined attack of dozens of Five Sea Realm experts? With just one wave, the light curtain was shattered. More than a dozen spears fell from the sky, some pierced through the hull, wood chips flew everywhere. Some pierced through the armor of the guards on the ship, passing through their bodies, and blood flowed all over the ground.
"Haha! Kill them all, leaving no one alive."
"Whoever grabs it first gets it."
Outside, the sounds of killing, whistles, and the cries of fire crows were overwhelming, attacking and flying towards the ship.
On the ship, a group of family members were in a state of high tension, unable to control themselves any longer, and cried out in tears. They all hid in the room, hugged each other, and trembled in fear. Only those who had good cultivation stood with the guards, holding weapons to meet the enemy.
Yu Wen Chao swung his arm and released a long river of magical energy, sweeping back the spear that was stuck in the boat. Then, he controlled the three-headed fire crow that was seven or eight meters long to attack Wu Zhaonan who was heading towards the bow of the ship.
Strong people attract each other, and he had long set his sights on this guard leader.
A bright green light appeared in the throat of the three-headed fire crow, and it spit out a green flame, igniting the wooden hull and revealing the steel structure inside. The green flame waterfall spread all the way to Wu Zhaonan.
Wu Zhaonan was like facing a formidable enemy, and released a two-meter-tall battle method mental figure to block the green flames. He slashed with the sword in his hand, and a more than ten-meter-long arc of sword light flew out and slashed straight into the sky.
“Puff!”
The armor on the belly of the three-headed fire crow was cracked, and a large amount of blood gushed out. It let out a wail and immediately flew away.
"You dare to hurt my mount, you are seeking death!"
Yuwen Chao was furious, and jumped off the back of the three-headed fire crow, and the magic energy in his body surged into the sea. A spear as bright as a beam of light fell from the sky, and the battle magic thought locked onto Wu Zhaonan, and the destructive energy gushed out from the tip of the spear.
Wu Zhaonan swung his sword to meet the attack, but he felt something was wrong the moment it made contact. The opponent's strength was so strong that it was like a mountain pressing down on him.
“Bang!”
The deck under his feet could not withstand this force and a big hole was broken. Wu Zhaonan vomited blood and fell to the bottom of the cabin! Yuwen Chao chased in with a whoosh.
Yin Shisan and Li Weiyi looked at each other and shouted, "Commander Wu, Chen Chuan is here to help you."
Yin Shisan jumped out of the hole in the deck, released his fighting ideas, and attacked Yuwen Chao with a palm.
Wu Zhaonan knew that it was pure delusion to want to escape today, as he had long been targeted by Yuwen Chao. Fortunately, Chen Zhubu was reliable and willing to fight to the death. If it was another irresponsible partner, I dare not imagine how difficult the situation would be today.
"Master Chen, you are a real man!"
Wu Zhaonan rushed forward with a knife in hand.
The ship was already in chaos, with flames burning everywhere.
The Fire Crow Cavalry jumped off the crow's back one after another and climbed onto the various decks like a tide, continuously killing the guards and throwing them into the water.
“Bang!”
The door of the cabin was kicked open by a Fire Crow Cavalryman, and screams and cries suddenly broke out from inside.
A burning spiritual light chain flew out from Li Ling's fingertips, pulling it out and throwing it into the cold river, turning it into a sinking corpse. Because of the pulling process, the spiritual fire chain was used to crush its throat.
Li Weiyi, holding the Yellow Dragon Sword, chopped off the head of a Five Seas Realm cavalryman, and rushed towards the next Five Seas Realm cavalryman with murderous intent, while quickly observing the battlefield.
Only half of the Fire Crow Cavalry boarded the ship, but all the Five Sea Realm masters were on board. The soldiers outside were leaderless, but the space on the ship was limited and full, so they did not attack together to kill those who jumped into the water to escape.
"They underestimated the enemy! Barbarians are still barbarians and cannot be compared with real regular troops."
Li Weiyi felt more confident, so he decisively released the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings and told them to attack with all their might. If the Fire Crow Cavalry outside wanted to form a battle formation, they must be broken down immediately.
This is Li's only trump card! (End of this chapter)
