Chapter 871 A resounding victory! (First update)
Liao Chen's expression was indescribable.
Has this guy gotten lost again?
How did you manage to travel from Northeast China to Northwest China?
Liao Chen suppressed the urge to twitch his lips and said calmly, "This is not Cangxue Pass... By the way, did your Feng family exchange missions with Wang Xu to escort the eldest grandson of the emperor to negotiate with Chen?"
Master Qingfeng said, "Feng Wuxiu wants to eat mutton buns, so I'll go buy them for him. I told him not to wander off and to stay with His Highness Changsun... I guess he got lost along with His Highness Changsun and the others."
Liao Chen looked at the three steamed buns in the bamboo leaf bag, which had dried into stones, and finally couldn't help but let his lips twitch violently.
You're the one who's really lost, aren't you?
How long has it been missing!
Couldn't you have asked for directions?
That's true, this guy never asks for directions; he doesn't even realize he's gone the wrong way.
—As long as I don't ask, I haven't gone astray.
Being directionally challenged isn't scary; what's scary is being directionally challenged but acting like a road bully.
Liao Chen clicked his tongue and shook his head, then sighed, "Who's like you... Do you live in heaven?"
Master Qingfeng didn't hear him clearly and looked at him strangely: "What did you say?"
Liao Chen's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the murderous aura on his body faded away for the first time, replaced by a sinister smile reminiscent of a demonic monk: "I say you are a born immortal, it must have been hard for you to descend to the mortal realm."
Master Qingfeng didn't understand, but he didn't care to. He looked at the five people opposite him and asked, "Why did these people kill you? And why are you dressed like this?"
Liao Chen gave an "oh" and said calmly, "When two countries are at war, I will fight; they are the Jin army."
"The Jin army?" Master Qingfeng paused, then said solemnly, "Alright, I'll kill them first, and then I'll take your life myself!"
Liao Chen smiled and said, "Okay."
Although the two seemed to have talked a lot, not much time had actually passed. The five swordsmen from the Sword Pavilion had been observing their aura and internal strength to determine their martial arts skills and weaknesses.
Unfortunately, we gained nothing.
"Attack together!" said the leading swordsman.
Five people, wielding long swords, charged towards Master Qingfeng and Liaochen.
Master Qingfeng placed the dried buns on the stone lion beside him. He was not used to using weapons, so he fought with the group of people with his bare hands.
Liao Chen didn't use any weapons.
The swordsmen thought that Chen's strength would be greatly reduced because he had lost his weapon and suffered internal injuries. However, Chen's move put them under great pressure.
Liao Chen said coldly, "That was just a sneak attack. Do you really think you can beat me in a fair fight?"
With that, he struck down with his palm, sending both swordsmen flying!
Master Qingfeng frowned: "Was this guy's martial arts really that good?"
Seeing that Chen was difficult to deal with, the other three set their sights on Qingfeng Daoist, thinking that this would be easier.
Master Qingfeng leaped into the air, then slammed his palm down on the ground: "Li! Kan! Po!"
A powerful surge of internal energy emanated from him and crashed towards the swordsmen on his left and right!
Li represents the east, and Kan represents the west. The two unknowingly walked into his formation, a situation almost identical to that of Han Wuye and Gu Changqing back then.
The difference is that the selection of the Black Wind Cavalry commander was a competition, and he didn't go all out.
This time, he truly unleashed his full potential.
The two swordsmen were so shocked that they crashed into the pillars on either side, causing them to collapse. They fell heavily to the ground, their weapons flying to the side.
Those who cultivate the Tao do not kill.
But he was first and foremost a subject of the Great Yan, and only later a Taoist priest of the White Cloud Temple!
The rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every citizen!
"Close! Open! Break!"
Master Qingfeng struck down with his palm again, and Liao Chen's expression changed. He leaped up and landed on the roof.
The other two were not so lucky. They were hit by another move from Master Qingfeng, their dantian was destroyed, and they died on the spot!
Liao Chen lightly leaped and landed steadily opposite him, saying with a half-smile, "Nix-neck, your strength is quite surprising."
Master Qingfeng said expressionlessly, "Killing you will be even more surprising than this."
Having said that, he struck out with his palm towards Chen!
Liao Chen's eyes flickered, and he raised a fist, slamming it towards Qingfeng Daoist!
The two men's fists and palms passed each other in mid-air, simultaneously striking the attackers behind each other!
The two of them were the swordsmen who had been sent flying by the dust earlier. Now, after taking another blow, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't withstand it. With a kick of their legs, they breathed their last.
Master Qingfeng coldly looked at Chen: "Next, it's Chen's turn..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liao Chen suddenly stepped forward, touched his waist with his left arm, and pulled him behind his back to protect him. He then slapped the last swordsman in the chest with his other palm!
Thus, the five swordsmen died.
On the city wall, Yue Liuyi stamped her foot in exasperation: "Useless things! You can't even handle a Taoist priest and Xuanyuanzi! What use are you! I already told you to send your Sword Pavilion protectors! What are you disciples showing off for!"
These people are not ordinary disciples; they are the most talented swordsmen in the Sword Pavilion. Otherwise, Elder Lu would not have summoned them to Pucheng.
It's just that Master Chen and Daoist Qingfeng are too powerful.
After killing the last person, Liao Chen immediately released someone's waist and used his lightness skill to leap onto the roof.
Master Qingfeng frowned: "Trying to escape?"
Liao Chen curled his lips into a smile and said casually, "I'm going to kill someone first, and then we'll settle our score. Oh, by the way, the child is yours."
After saying that, he pointed to the alley and disappeared in a flash!
Master Qingfeng glanced at the child in the alley who was so frightened he didn't even dare to cry, frowned, and ultimately decided not to pursue and kill Chen.
He walked over and took the child's little hand.
Outside the city gate, the Black Wind Cavalry, the Shadow Tribe, and the Han family's Black Valiant Cavalry were engaged in a fierce battle.
Han Wuye was helped to the side by his servants.
He sat on the cold ground with his back against the city wall, watching the Han family's Black Cavalry fall one after another, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly welled up in his heart.
Was he wrong to persist all these years?
Was all his hard work wasted?
Why is it that even though they are stronger, they still can't defeat the Black Wind Riders?
The Han family's warhorses were physically stronger than the Black Wind Cavalry, and their pain tolerance was also far greater. However, the Black Wind Cavalry possessed an indomitable will in their very bones.
I can endure pain, I can die, but I will never back down!
He thought that by possessing the strongest warhorses, he could train an unparalleled cavalry.
But only now did he realize that strength is not the same as power, and the Han family's Black Cavalry... might really be going to lose.
No, there's also the Black Demon Horse!
There's still a chance!
Black Demon Horse was one of the few Black Knights on the battlefield that remained unaffected. It was in its prime, young and strong, and it refused to lose to an old horse.
It wants to reclaim its position as the king of horses.
It launched its fiercest attack on the Black Wind King!
With its speed and explosive power, it would surely take half of Black Wind King's life.
Everyone around held their breath in a cold sweat, but unfortunately they were in the middle of a battle and couldn't get there in time to rescue Black Wind King.
Black Wind King was slightly out of breath. It looked at the warhorse galloping towards it, and it seemed that it had no strength left to meet the collision.
Its body trembled, and it collapsed limply.
Li Shen's expression changed drastically: "Black Wind King—"
The Black Demon King stepped over the Black Wind King's body and returned to its original position with pride and excitement. It had defeated the old horse!
It is the true king of warhorses!
It raised its front hooves, proclaiming its absolute dominance!
At that very moment, the Black Wind King, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly sprang up and bit the Black Demon Horse's neck!
The Black Demon Horse roared in pain, its head thrown back. It began to struggle desperately, using all its strength to try and shake off the Black Wind King!
Unfortunately, the Black Wind King just wouldn't let go of it!
Surrender or die!
The Black Demon Horse finally exhausted its last bit of strength, let out a whimper, and knelt down before the Black Wind King.
Fifth Master Han closed his eyes in deep sorrow.
The Han family.
We lost.
Han Ye was no match for Gu Jiao, so he called on the Han family's elite assassins to join the attack.
Gu Jiao shot each enemy one shot, without any hesitation!
Han Ye was injured, and the Han family's guards escorted him away.
Gu Jiao chuckled and said, "Want to leave? Not so easy!"
Master Han allowed you to take him away because Liao Chen wanted to spare his life, but what is Han Ye anyway!
The Black Wind King, who just wanted to kill her!
Gu Jiao picked up her red-tasseled spear, leaped onto her horse, and shouted, "Boss! Catch up with it!"
Just then, Yue Liuyi leaped down and fired a volley of flying flower-shaped hidden weapons at Gu Jiao!
Gu Jiao scoffed, "You think you're the only one with hidden weapons? Don't I have any?"
She swiftly pulled out a hidden box and threw it at the dense array of concealed weapons!
Master Lu made a life-saving mechanism box for both Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun, and they both gave it to her.
She hadn't yet tested the power of those two mechanism boxes.
She first heard a slight crisp sound, as if a silver needle had struck the mechanism box, followed by the sound of axles turning.
The next second, the mechanism box suddenly opened, and a barrage of hidden weapons shot out like a shower of flowers!
Not only did they intercept all of Yue Liuyi's silver needles and darts, but they also shot down a large number of Han family soldiers around Yue Liuyi.
Even Yue Liuyi herself was hit by an almost invisible silver needle!
"Ah—" Yue Liuyi cried out in pain.
The silver needles were poisonous, and Yue Liuyi's left shoulder and entire left arm instantly lost sensation after being hit.
She clutched her left arm and glared fiercely at Gu Jiao: "You...you dare to hurt me!"
Gu Jiao said arrogantly, "So what if I hurt you? I'm going to kill you!"
Of the four great generals under Gongsun Yu, Yue Liuyi is the most ruthless. Nine years later, she will be a very troublesome enemy, and Gu Jiao will not give her the opportunity to grow stronger.
Gu Jiao thrust her spear at Yue Liuyi!
This is one of the last two moves that Xuan Yuanqi forced out of Ghost Mountain. Even Xuan Yuanqi could be forced to retreat, let alone a month of Liu Yi.
Yue Liuyi's abdomen was slashed, and she flew into a rage, shouting, "Who exactly are you?!"
Gu Jiao said indifferently, "What do you care who I am!"
Yue Liuyi didn't want to die on the battlefield with the Han family, so she gritted her teeth, threw out a black fire bead, which exploded into a cloud of smoke, and escaped in the chaos!
Gu Jiao watched her retreating figure without chasing after her: "You probably don't know that Pucheng is already surrounded by enemies, do you? Escaping into the city would only be like catching a turtle in a jar."
The morale of the Han family had long since vanished, and Gu Jiao seized the opportunity to lead the Shadow Division to storm the city wall!
With a single spear thrust, she severed the Jin state's banner and boldly planted the Great Yan's flag back atop the majestic city tower!
