Chapter 211: Chaotic Battle (Part 4) [Requesting Monthly Tickets]
Quiet!
Complete silence!
All was quiet!
Only Commander Yang felt a thousand volcanoes erupting within him!
Countless roars rushed out of their throats!
When did he give me any money?
The more he had previously praised and extolled this righteous young hero, lavishing praise on Shen Tang as if he were someone else's perfect child, the more regretful he felt now! He wished he could slap his past self twice to wake himself up!
Having lived for so many years, what kind of tricks hasn't he seen?
Haha, there really isn't one!
This is truly something I've never seen before!
Who the hell could have imagined that the righteous hero Shen Tang and the bearded bandit who robbed tax silver were the same person? He never dreamed this would happen! At his age, he was completely fooled by a twelve-year-old brat! And it was exposed under these circumstances!
Commander Yang gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up.
"Commander Yang, you mustn't—"
Zhai Le tried to stop him.
Unable to stop him, they could only raise their hands to help him up, secretly surprised by the strength in Captain Yang's hand—it should be known that with Captain Yang's injuries, if he were not a high-level martial artist, any ordinary person would have been dead, with only half a life left, yet the strength in his hand was not weak.
Its tenacious vitality is evident.
But given his current injuries, even without Gongxi Chou's finishing blow to behead him, Commandant Yang might still succumb to the strain. He has too many deep, bone-revealing wounds on his upper body; why is he getting up instead of staying put? Is he afraid the blood won't drain fast enough?
Commander Yang opened his mouth and spat fire, angrily saying, "I insist! Tell me—did you already know this?"
His tone at this moment sounded exactly like that of an unlucky guy who had been cheated on, his voice shrill and accusatory as he questioned the scumbag who helped the cheating boyfriend/girlfriend cover it up.
Zhai, the trashy chicken, Le: "..."
He never expected the fire would spread to him.
He was momentarily speechless. The boy was still too young; his remaining conscience prevented him from lying without batting an eye. So, Commandant Yang tightened his grip on Zhai Le's wrist!
Judging by the force, you really couldn't tell that Commandant Yang was seriously injured. You'd think he could still fight with his might and wield his sword to kill people!
Zhai Le forced a smile and changed the subject: "Captain, please calm down. The more you get angry, the faster your martial energy will dissipate, which will be disadvantageous for you..."
Forcibly raising one's cultivation level comes at a great cost.
It could be so severe that it could directly ruin the future of a martial arts master.
Because the price is the martial arts courage of the Danfu Sect!
Once the time limit expires, the meridians and dantian will no longer be able to contain martial energy, which will dissipate completely in a very short time. Emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness will also dissipate more quickly. Without the nourishment and protection of martial energy, and with such severe injuries, the chances of survival are extremely slim.
"You actually knew that!"
"I...this..."
Commander Yang was completely dumbfounded with anger.
He flung Zhai Le's hand away, and with a thud, coughed up another mouthful of blood. The shock was too great; the pent-up rage in his chest had forcibly brought him back to life. He wanted nothing more than to beat the culprit, Shen Tang, and his accomplice, Zhai Le, to a pulp!
These two teenagers really tricked him so badly!
Gong Xichou slightly raised his eyelids, taking in the exchange between Zhai Le and Commandant Yang out of the corner of his eye. Having witnessed a dramatic undercurrent for free, he sneered, "Damn it, it seems they don't care about your 'repayment of kindness.' What should we do?"
They appeared to be chatting casually, but their auras remained fixed on all of Shen Tang's escape routes, giving her no chance to escape, and their killing intent showed no signs of abating.
Shen Tang was completely justified.
"I'm repaying a debt of gratitude; what does that have to do with him?"
You have to take it whether you want it or not.
Anyway, she saved the person, and she can forget about getting the money back once it's in her hands. She can deal with the rest later.
The most important thing right now is Gongxi Chou.
If Gong Xichou isn't dealt with, Shen Tang himself will also be in danger.
A strange, cold light flashed in Gong Xichou's eyes, and his words were as cold as a venomous snake whispering in Shen Tang's ear, as he coldly reminded her, "Of course there is a connection."
Shen Tang countered, "What relationship?"
Gong Xiqiu smiled, which was unusual for him.
He said, "Die in his place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rapid and intense barrage of attacks rained down on Shen Tang, the attacks so sudden and without warning.
On the city wall, Qi Shan and Chu Yao felt like they were about to have a heart attack.
This shock was so intense that even a whole bottle of heart medicine couldn't calm it down.
Seeing Gongxi Chou suddenly attack, Commander Yang disregarded his injuries and gritted his teeth to try and mobilize his remaining martial energy. However, his martial energy, which he usually controlled with ease, had rebelled and was now violent and rebellious. Even if he managed to mobilize it, he could only condense a phantom of a weapon.
Zhai Le said, "I will go and help Brother Shen."
Commander Yang was exasperated: "Go up and give them military merits?"
The seventh-ranking official should not go up and cause trouble.
Isn't Gong Xichou's determination to kill Zhai Le obvious?
If Zhai Le dares to step onto the stage, Gong Xi Chou will dare to kill.
That being said, but—
"How can Brother Shen handle him alone?"
Commander Yang suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth as he forced out, "I'm much better than you, what are you worrying about?"
That night, during the ambush, this man was aggressive and fought him to a standstill. Now, his opponent is the stronger but injured Gong Xichou, and Shen Tang should be able to last at least twenty or thirty moves. Rather than rashly entering the fray and causing trouble, it's better to observe the situation.
Upon hearing this, Zhai Le could only suppress his worry.
How dangerous is Gongxi Chou if he doesn't release water?
Shen Tang couldn't say for sure.
But she knew she was dancing on a tightrope, one wrong step and she could be smashed to pieces. Only by facing Gong Xi Chou head-on did she realize the immense pressure he exerted! Like a lone boat at sea, beset by raging storms and towering waves.
The imposing aura almost squeezed the air out of her chest.
The two continued their fierce battle.
Unlike the grand clash between Gong Xichou and Yang Duwei, where their strength and martial energy were locked in a tug-of-war, the two were much less noisy than Shen Tang, but the suffocating feeling of being pressed forward was no less intense, and their speed was so fast that only afterimages remained.
Every now and then, brilliant sparks would fly from the impact of weapons clashing.
After Commander Yang's defeat in the duel, the drumbeats on the city wall were completely suppressed by the rebels. The drumbeats were weak and intermittent, like the lingering sound from the throat of a dying man, and morale predictably plummeted to its lowest point.
Shen Tang's appearance to save Commander Yang was indeed unexpected, but it was of little use—firstly, Commander Yang was so badly injured that he was no longer able to fight; secondly, Shen Tang had a youthful face and a short stature, standing in front of Gong Xi Chou like a small hill next to a high mountain, utterly intimidating. Some even pessimistically thought that Shen Tang would be torn in two by Gong Xi Chou's bare hands!
Who knew—
Flames blazed beneath the city walls. The boy had survived Gong Xichou's furious onslaught, which rekindled hope in some, while those who remained rational shook their heads in disbelief.
The disadvantages are too great!
What are the disadvantages?
It's age, of course!
Even the most talented person needs time to accumulate experience and grow. Only through rigorous training can one reach peaks unattainable by ordinary people, and Gong Xichou is a perfect example of this. The young man on the sidelines lost because he was too young; if they were of similar age, Gong Xichou probably wouldn't have had much of an advantage.
Some people have doubts.
They always felt that something was off about the two people off the field.
Until they heard a soldier clench his fists, sweating profusely, and anxiously muttering, "Armor! Why aren't they wearing their armor—"
The group, reminded by these words, were speechless.
Yeah, where's the armor?
Young hero, where is your armor?
The young man with the sword pierced through the air with a single strike, managing to save Commander Yang with a masterful maneuver. Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and they were so focused on how Shen Tang and Gong Xi Chou were confronting each other that they didn't notice that the young man was still dressed in a thin, simple cloth robe.
What good are simple clothes?
Even if you don't wear armor, at least wear rattan armor, leather armor, or cloth armor... It's better than going into battle bare-chested and with zero defense!
With absolutely no defense, a mere glancing blow is fatal!
The soldiers were extremely pessimistic, while the rebels were extremely happy.
Shen Tang was in a terrible predicament.
It's not that she's unwilling to put on the armor.
It was clear that she had just acquired martial courage and did not yet have martial armor.
Shen Tang relied on a fast-paced offense and defense, using her speed and versatile literary skills to avoid being caught by Gong Xi Chou, who quickly realized her intentions. In his battle with Commandant Yang, Gong Xi Chou not only lost nearly half of his martial energy but also suffered several injuries.
Frequent attacks will aggravate the wound.
A prolonged delay would be extremely disadvantageous for Gongxi Chou.
Gong Xichou realized this and suddenly roared, using the energy of heaven and earth around him to condense and compress it into a surging wave of energy that slammed into Shen Tang, sending her flying back more than ten feet before she could regain her footing.
This move did not cause any real harm to Shen Tang.
Just as she was about to charge back, a sharp, loud whistle rang out from Gong Xichou's mouth, and a streak of dark green light shot out, instantly condensing into a tall, mighty warhorse clad in armor. Majestic and imposing, its hooves treading on four blazing balls of martial energy, its coordination with Gong Xichou was flawless.
Gong Xichou changed his weapon to that double crescent-shaped serpent halberd!
Shen Tang: "..."
At this moment, she wished she could "humiliate Gong Xichou in the same way"!
It's one thing to bully her because she doesn't have armor...
It's one thing to bully her because she doesn't have a warhorse...
They're even bullying her because she only has a three-foot-four-inch longsword!
Given that the Mother's Sword is three feet four inches long, Gong Xi Chou's halberd is nearly ten feet long, and he is riding a warhorse that is a head taller than an average adult male—how could Shen Tang possibly defeat him? Even if you performed an arm-lengthening surgery on her, she still wouldn't be able to reach him!
Shen Tang's inner qualities are 18 in a row.
Gongxi Chou remained unmoved.
Shen Tang had no choice but to run on two legs.
Gongxi Chou chased after him on his four-legged warhorse.
Faced with this scene of "you chase me, if you catch me I'll hehehe," it's unclear how others see it, but Commander Yang is definitely on the verge of a heart attack. Oh, and there's also Qi Shan and Chu Yao.
Qi Shan took a heart-protecting pill to calm her nerves.
With a forced smile: "You really can run!"
The warhorses of high-ranking martial artists are far superior to ordinary thoroughbreds. It is said that the warhorses of a 20th-rank Marquis can easily travel a thousand miles a day, and their short-distance full-speed acceleration is as fast as riding the wind and clouds. Gong Xi Chou's warhorse is naturally not weak either, but even so, it couldn't catch up with the young master Shen, who was running on two legs.
This is really...
It's a long story.
He ran around the whole place without blushing at all.
How could an ordinary martial artist be like this?
Qi Shan kindly shared a heart-protecting pill with Chu Yao.
The elderly person is getting on in years; we mustn't let them get upset and cause them any harm.
After chasing each other for two or three laps, Gong Xiqiu suddenly unleashed his full power, rapidly closing the distance. Shen Tang immediately turned around and executed a slick maneuver—a smooth, fluid sliding tackle. A warhorse at full speed can hardly stop instantly. In the blink of an eye, Shen Tang had already galloped far away, her soft murmurs carried on the wind.
"What can dispel sorrow? Only wine!"
Qi Shan: "...???"
Chu Yao: "...???"
Gong Shuwu: "...!!!"
He dared not look at the two gentlemen's expressions at all.
Gongxi Chou was unaware of the situation and prepared for battle.
Shen Tang's use of the Word of Power left a deep impression on him.
only--
It seems nothing happened.
Watching Shen Tang pause for a moment, sway, and then run off again, Gong Xi Chou gritted his teeth. His halberd transformed into martial energy and retracted into a longbow with snake patterns. He easily parted the bowstring with four fingers, his martial energy condensing—
They aimed at Shen Tang's vest, targeting its vital points and escape route.
The bowstring is fully drawn.
let go!
Four streaks of dark green light silently shot out into the air.
At this moment, Zhai Le's dark feathered arrows arrived, barely managing to knock down one of them. The remaining three arrows, still full of momentum, arrived in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the power of the arrow, Zhai Le's heart skipped a beat.
The crisis alarm was sounded, and a strong killing intent was directed at her back. Shen Tang's expression was solemn. Without hesitation, she dodged and evaded. An arrow almost grazed her arm and disappeared into the yellow earth in front of her.
With a deafening roar, the ground collapsed. Although the other two arrows missed their mark, they perfectly disrupted Shen Tang's rhythm. The opportunity was fleeting, and Gong Xi Chou fired four arrows and immediately followed up with an even more powerful one.
Prepare to take his life with one arrow!
Qi Shan and Chu Yao naturally wouldn't let this happen.
But those who acted even faster—
It's Shen Tang!
"The east wind at night releases a thousand trees of blossoms—"
Upon hearing the familiar words of power, Gong Xichou instantly became alert.
He subconsciously looked down at the ground.
That day, it was this incantation that summoned the black and white literary energy, which, like a giant dragon awakening, soared into the sky, transforming into countless sparks, dazzling in their brilliance and deadly in their wake. A single fire might not be particularly powerful, but with over ten thousand soldiers present, the chaos it created could even sway the outcome of a war!
But he was deceived again.
Looking up, she saw Shen Tang leaping through the air, easily stepping on the arrow that should have taken her life, soaring more than twenty feet into the air, her right hand conjuring the Mother's Sword. Reaching its highest point—
The power of words suddenly changed, and the energy of heaven and earth became restless.
"One body! Travels! Three! Thousands! Miles! In!"
Eighty or ninety percent of the literary energy in the Danfu was instantly extracted.
Qi Shan and Chu Yao were both on guard against that deadly move, and their attacks were defensive and defensive Word of Power. However, there would inevitably be a brief pause between the two Words of Power, making it impossible to replenish their strength. The two secretly thought to themselves that things were going badly.
The level of the Word of Power that Shen Xiaolangjun/Wulang is about to use is not low. Even if she only uses the minimum power, her current literary energy is not enough to support it. If she fails, how could Gong Xichou let go of such a good opportunity?
Unexpectedly at this moment—
A familiar voice sounded from behind.
Shen Tang's depleted dantian instantly filled up, and a continuous stream of literary energy poured in. She gritted her teeth and struggled to utter the second half of the sentence.
"one!"
"sword!"
In an instant, the world changed color.
The sun was obscured, and a fierce wind arose.
With a loud bang, the ground beneath our feet trembled violently!
Countless grains of sand churned, and a frenzied aura surged from his body, all converging into the "Motherly Sword." Shen Tang felt his body was on the verge of exploding, his eyes filled with a terrifying crimson.
Gong Xichou instantly understood who Shen Tang's target was.
He shouted, "Form a shield formation!"
The King of Zhi's trusted advisor was already prepared.
More than 10,000 rebel soldiers shouted in unison.
"Yu!"
The pent-up morale surged and coalesced above the vast army in that instant, blotting out the sky! It was like the end of the world!
