Chapter 12: Going to War
Just when Wang Liang thought that this bronze tripod was some kind of magic weapon, an incredible scene appeared. The box actually disassembled automatically and quickly pieced together on the bronze tripod, finally forming a three-meter-tall wooden doll.
I don’t know how such a small box could hold so many parts.
After the puppet took shape, it actually took out a long sword and protected the sand boat and everyone on it behind it.
At the same time, Wang Liang noticed that Wei Ban seemed to have lost his mind and was sitting in a daze in the corner, while Zhao Gongming was jumping up and down with something like a command flag in his hand, directing the little ghosts and monsters he had released to attack the Huangsha bandits.
Seeing Wang Liang in a daze, Zhao Gongming could not care about anything else. He said loudly: "Don't stay there any longer. Go control a Seven Treasures Dingguang Tower and inject your internal energy into it. After that, it all depends on your own ideas."
Wang Liang hurriedly ran to the Seven Treasures Dingguang Tower that was previously controlled by Niu Xuanguang. He put his hand on it, and two choices appeared in front of him. One was the mastery-level bow and arrow, and the other was the entry-level innate Qiankun Gong.
Normally, Wang Liang should choose his strongest thing, but for some reason he had a feeling that he should choose the Xiantian Qiankun Gong.
So he instinctively injected the inner force of the Xiantian Qiankun Gong into the Seven Treasures Dingguang Pagoda. The next moment, the Bagua hexagrams appeared around the Seven Treasures Dingguang Pagoda.
Zhao Gongming saw this and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of skills are you using? Bagua Lianhuan Palm, Bagua Life and Death Art?"
"Xiantian Qiankun Gong, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, you're just lucky."
While Zhao Gongming was dealing with Wang Liang, he privately chatted with Niu Xuanguang: "Boss, we have found a treasure. Do you know what kind of martial arts that versatile person has learned? It is Xiantian Qiankun Gong, which is a level 60 advanced martial arts that can be used directly. It seems that he really has a backer."
"I told you so long ago." At this time, Niu Xuanguang was fighting with a Huangsha bandit soldier, so his response was much slower. "I saw it at a glance. You are still a little naive, haha..."
The proud Niu Xuanguang used more force in his attack and chopped off the head of a Huangsha bandit with one sword.
At this time, the caravan over there also took action.
From time to time they would encounter attacks from the Yellow Sand Bandits along the way, and they also knew who were friends and who were enemies among the people fighting in front of them.
So after leaving three knights to guard the white-robed men, all the heavily-armored knights raised their spears and rushed towards the Yellow Sand bandits.
There were only seven of them in total, but when they charged, they created the effect of an overwhelming force.
When watching those heavily armored knights charging, Wang Liang even had an urge to draw his sword and chop all of them to death.
Fortunately, Wang Liang knew that these heavily armored knights were now friendly forces. He suppressed the impulse in his heart and controlled the Qibao Dingguang Tower to attack the Huangsha bandits.
At this time, Wang Liang felt that these Huangsha bandits were quite powerful.
He had seen Niu Xuanguang cut the Yellow Sand bandits into pieces with a single sword strike, but how come when it came to him, after four or five fireballs or wind blades were thrown at them, the Yellow Sand bandits seemed to be fine and could even stand up and fight.
Perhaps seeing that Wang Liang looked amiss, Zhao Gongming said, "Don't overthink it. Although they are also Huangsha bandits, they are already level 30 and above. Didn't you see that even if the boss went up himself, it would take three or five hits to kill one?"
Wang Liang raised his head and looked over there, and found that the situation on the battlefield was indeed like this. Both Niu Xuanguang and the crying girl needed three or four hits to kill a Huangsha bandit, and the little ghosts released by Zhao Gongming could only delay the enemy and could not kill them as easily as before.
This made Wang Liang believe what Zhao Gongming said, and at the same time he turned his attention to those heavily armored cavalry.
Wang Liang discovered that these heavily armored cavalry seemed to be specially trained to counter attacks from Persian scimitars. The armor was almost a piece of iron plate, coated with something like oil. When slashing weapons hit their armor, there would be a certain offset effect.
Normal hacking does not cause much damage to them, but some collisions and blunt blows from hammers will cause certain damage to them.
When Wang Liang was analyzing the enemy's situation here, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He instinctively put down the Qibao Dingguang Pagoda, lunged forward, and rolled on the ground.
The moment he rolled out, a scimitar hit the Qibao Dingguang Pagoda from behind him.
It turned out that the Huangsha bandit who had been attacked by Wang Liang but not killed had locked onto Wang Liang and actually jumped from the other end of the battlefield to Wang Liang's front.
Fortunately, Wang Liang reacted quickly, and the Huangsha bandit was seriously injured, so he was not killed instantly.
However, at this time, the Huangsha bandit had already jumped onto the sand boat. When Wang Liang rolled on the ground, he turned his attention to Wei Ban and Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming was controlling his puppet and could not move. His puppet was too big and could not get on the sand boat. He could only turn around and chop at the Huangsha bandits with the wooden sword in his hand.
Zhao Gongming was also jumping up and down there, and started throwing some talismans at the Huangsha bandits. After being thrown out, those talismans would turn into lightning and fireballs and hit the Huangsha bandits, but the effect was not as good as the effect of Wang Liang's previous attack using the Seven Treasures Dingguang Tower.
At this time, Wang Liang, who had rolled on the ground, also stood up. He stared at the Huangsha bandit soldier, holding the killing knife tightly in both hands. He saw a blood-red line appearing a little lower on the Huangsha bandit soldier's neck.
Although he didn't know what the situation was with this line, Wang Liang knew that he had to cut here.
He didn't make any movements to gather strength. He just stood firm and took a step forward with his knife raised .
This was a standard move for the Modao soldiers. Wang Liang had done it countless times before. Even when facing a head-on attack from the cavalry, he could still meet it head-on without blinking an eye.
The Huangsha bandit in front of him was not as good as the cavalry. At least he did not bring much pressure to Wang Liang.
Wang Liang took this step very steadily. At the same time, his body muscles began to contract under the influence of the Xiantian Qiankun Gong. All the strength was concentrated on his legs and transferred to his hands along his waist.
At the moment when the Huangsha bandit turned his head, Wang Liang chopped down with his knife as fast as lightning, right on the blood-red line under the Huangsha bandit's neck.
The moment the knife was chopped, Wang Liang only felt his arm getting hot, and the blade seemed to cut something. Then a large amount of blood spurted out like a fountain, spraying all over Wang Liang's head and face.
