Outside Yongcheng, the Qin army surrounded the unarmed Chu army, and Meng Tian gathered them all together.
"Sir, the entire Chu army has been wiped out." Meng Tian excitedly approached Lu Li.
This battle was truly exhilarating; it was also the first time Meng Tian had led an army into battle alone.
"Disperse all the Chu troops and incorporate them into the various Qin army camps."
This time, Lu Li did not kill any prisoners, because unlike last time, this time it was within Qin territory, and they could not cause any trouble.
They were completely dispersed and incorporated into the Qin army in preparation for future attacks on Yan and Qi.
"I wonder if Father and the others will succeed," Meng Tian sighed.
............
Shouchun in the State of Chu.
The war between Qin and Chu had reached a fever pitch, and Xiang Yan was still struggling to hold on. He was unaware that Yun Qingshu was already dead.
Meng Wu's 100,000-strong army launched a fierce attack on the city. Suddenly, a man charged out from the army, wielding a broadsword and whipping his horse toward the city gate.
It's Cangwu!
Lu Li left Cangwu to Meng Wu, who could play a crucial role at critical moments.
This time, Cangwu did not breach the city directly, but instead charged straight at the city walls amidst a hail of arrows.
Xiang Yan was immediately alarmed and shouted angrily, "Quick! Stop him!"
The soldiers on the city wall quickly brought stones and rolled logs down, trying to crush Cangwu to death.
However, Cangwu dodged them with ease, as if walking on flat ground; the boulders and rolling logs could not harm him at all.
He quickly reached the top of the city wall, his broadsword sweeping across, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere, and heads to fly into the air. Screams echoed from the city wall, and Xiang Yan panicked even more.
"Fire arrows! Quickly fire arrows and kill him!"
Upon seeing this, Xiang Yan immediately ordered the archers to fire at Cangwu. Unfortunately, Cangwu was prepared and leaped into the air to dodge the rain of arrows.
Cangwu landed, his toes barely touching the ground, and moved at high speed, closing in on Xiang Yan.
"Protect the general."
The guards beside Xiang Yan immediately stepped in front of him. Cang Wu's lips curled into a cold smile as he slashed down with his broadsword, killing three people instantly.
He continued walking forward, and several more guards rushed forward to stop him, but he killed them all with ease. At this point, Xiang Yan only had four or five personal guards left by his side.
Just when things were at their most critical, a long sword suddenly blocked Cangwu's path!
Then a woman appeared in Cangwu's field of vision. Without saying a word, she immediately swung her knife and started slashing.
This person is none other than the sword slave beside Yun Qingshu!
The two clashed instantly, and in just a few seconds of combat, Cangwu was actually suppressed.
Although Dao Nu was a woman, every move she made carried the force of a sure kill!
Cangwu gradually found itself at a disadvantage and had to retreat a few steps.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiang Yan distanced herself and watched the battle between Dao Nu and Cang Wu. Her heart was filled with excitement as she thought to herself, "Dao Nu is indeed powerful!"
Cangwu's eyes darkened slightly. The last time the two fought, he almost lost to the sword slave.
Unexpectedly, over the years, although she has not broken through to the level of a minor grandmaster, her swordsmanship has improved so much.
“You… have become more powerful!” Cangwu said, staring at the sword slave.
The sword slave ignored him and slashed down with a fierce and powerful strike. Cangwu hurriedly dodged, but his clothes were still cut by the blade's edge. He frowned; this time, the sword slave seemed even stronger than before.
The two fought for hundreds of rounds, yet neither could gain the upper hand.
Suddenly, Cangwu's eyes changed; his previously calm gaze was now filled with madness and murderous intent. The sword slave sensed the anomaly and became secretly on guard.
Just then, Cangwu thrust his broadsword towards Dao Nu's chest. Dao Nu was shocked and immediately drew his longsword to block, but Cangwu used the recoil to escape.
She stared at Cangwu with a conflicted expression. If she hadn't reacted in time, she would probably have been seriously injured.
Although Cangwu is not a minor grandmaster, he is a man envied by the heavens and has cultivated Taoist internal energy techniques, becoming a Taoist soldier with the strength to fight a minor grandmaster.
Over the years, Cangwu's strength has improved considerably, but he will never be able to reach the level of a minor grandmaster.
"Draw your sword and cut the water!" the sword slave roared, straining his arms as his long sword slashed through the air towards Cangwu.
This move is one of the Blade Slave's signature techniques, and its power is immense, enough to cut through gold and shatter jade!
Cangwu focused his gaze, channeling his powerful inner strength into his broadsword, and then unleashed a powerful strike.
"Boom!"
The two forces collided, and Cangwu swayed, his face turning flushed, clearly having suffered a loss.
"Hmph!" The swordsman snorted coldly, gripping his long sword and attacking Cangwu once more.
Her swordsmanship was cunning, causing Cangwu to suffer losses every time. In a short while, Cangwu had several wounds on his body, dripping with blood.
At this moment, he was about to give up. Cangwu took a deep breath and stared intently at Dao Nu.
"Mount Tai pressing down!" Cangwu roared, gathering all his inner strength, and slashed down with his broadsword.
The knife slave's expression changed drastically, and he was forced to withdraw his sword to defend himself.
"Clang~"
Sparks flew as Cangwu's sword slammed into her longsword. The next moment, the sword slave felt as if she had been struck by a force of ten thousand pounds, and her legs went straight to her knees, even cracking the floorboards.
"Pfft~"
The knife slave spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with horror.
Cangwu's sword strike was too powerful, directly shattering her arms and splitting open her tiger's mouth, with blood gushing out.
"Miss Dao Nu!" Xiang Yan looked anxious when she saw Dao Nu's defeat.
Cangwu was already bloodthirsty. Without the slightest hesitation, he slashed horizontally with his sword, and the head of the sword slave flew high into the air, spraying blood all over the ground.
At this moment, Cangwu was covered in blood, like a demon crawling out of a pool of blood, inspiring fear in all who beheld him.
He walked step by step toward Xiang Yan, who gripped her longsword tightly and charged toward Cangwu first.
Xiang Yan knew that she could not escape death today, but she was determined to fight with all her might before she died.
"Bang!"
Cangwu unleashed a sword strike, and Xiang Yan raised his sword to block, but was directly knocked away, landing heavily on the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Because Cangwu disrupted the Chu soldiers on the city wall, it gave Meng Wu an opportunity to launch a full-scale attack.
Just then, I witnessed Cangwu knocking Xiang Yan away, and Cangwu had already raised his broadsword and was about to chop down on Xiang Yan's head.
"Spare his life!"
But Cangwu paid no heed and brought his broadsword down. Xiang Yan's head flew off instantly and rolled to Meng Wu's feet.
Cangwu's hand suddenly fell, his eyes were somewhat dazed, and the next moment he actually fell to the ground.
This terrified Meng Wu. He was Lu Li's man. If something happened to Cangwu, how could he explain it to Lu Li?
Meng Wu immediately went forward to check on him and found that Cangwu was only injured and had fainted from exhaustion. He was not in any danger and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Quickly, summon the army doctor. You few stay here and take care of Cangwu. The rest of you, follow me into the Chu King's palace and capture the Chu King alive!"
