Chapter 206: Siege (2)
When Albatross cooperated with the Sword Guards of Haojian Palace to attack, Wu Heyun, the outer sect elder of Xinjian Sect beside Qi Li, flicked his fingers and said lightly: "Don't worry, Bo Hou, it's just a Wuzhou City, the children of Haojian Palace will be captured easily."
When the soldiers on the top of the city carried heavy crossbows and shot down albatrosses from the sky, Wu Heyun's face became a little ugly, but he was still full of confidence: "It seems that this kid... is called Lu Yi? Well, he has some skills in commanding the army, but..."
Wu Heyun smiled and shook his head: "It's just a mortal's method, nothing more than that!"
In front of them, above the east gate of Wuzhou City, albatrosses were constantly being killed, and sword guards were falling from the sky wailing, and were shot into sieves in mid-air.
Wu Heyun's face became much more gloomy.
His hands kept opening and closing, and a hint of cold sword intent enveloped the surroundings. Qi Li and others shuddered at the same time.
Wu Heyun said coldly: "This little dog, Bo Hou can think about how to cut him into pieces. Ha, look, as long as the children land in the city, with the strength of the disciples of Haojian Palace, it's just..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a red shadow flew back and forth in the sky, and hundreds of albatrosses burned like torches and fell from the sky.
Qi Li lowered his head, not daring to look at Wu Heyun again.
Wu Heyun took a deep breath, slowly dismounted his mount, and walked towards the east gate of Wuzhou City step by step.
Over Wuzhou City, albatrosses were constantly catching fire and falling from the sky. The cheerful chirping of birds and the sharp roar of "Haha" on the ground echoed each other.
Finally, the red shadow spread its wings and flew high, allowing hundreds of frightened albatrosses to descend from the sky. They fled in a panic to a height of less than a hundred feet above the ground, and then began to slowly circle and descend.
The wingspan of albatrosses is more than ten meters. They are too large, and there are not many places suitable for them to land in Wuzhou City.
Just as they were choosing a landing site, horrifying sounds of mechanisms were heard from tall buildings everywhere. Crossbow arrows whizzed through the air and hit the albatrosses heavily, piercing their bodies easily.
That’s great, there’s no need to choose a landing location.
The albatrosses were spurting blood and falling from a low altitude. The sword guards of Haojian Palace cursed angrily and hurriedly used their skills to jump into the air from the backs of the falling albatrosses.
Some people didn't control the height of their jump well. They jumped from dozens of feet above the ground and fell to the ground one by one, being half-dead. Some even broke their legs and waists.
When others jumped up, the albatross was not very high from the ground. As soon as they jumped up, their bodies hit the ground with the momentum of falling, and their bones were broken and they couldn't even make a groan.
There were also people who jumped up at just the right height, landed lightly, drew out their swords in a very elegant and graceful manner, quickly stood in a row with their fellow disciples, and looked in all directions majestically.
In their opinion, even though there were less than a thousand fellow disciples who landed safely, they were basically all experts in the Tuomai realm.
Nearly a thousand Tuomai Realm 'great masters' are enough to easily kill tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers in the city...
It should be right!
How could ordinary people who are at most in Peiyuan realm, or have not even entered Peiyuan realm, be their opponents?
A silver light came flying over, accompanied by a terrible 'meow' howl, and the caracal waved its sharp claws and flew past these 'lucky ones'.
Wherever the sharp claws passed, swords broke and bones and flesh were severed.
In just a few breaths, hundreds of sword guards were torn into pieces by the caracals, and blood spurted all over the ground, while the remaining sword guards had not yet discovered who had ambushed them.
"Enemy, enemy... where? Where?"
All the sword guards were howling hysterically, and then the ground began to tremble faintly.
Teams of heavy cavalry came galloping from all directions, with long spears and heavy halberds shining coldly, and with the terrifying force of the charge, they stabbed fiercely at these self-important sword guards.
The sword guards were excited, laughing wildly and roaring to activate their Yuan Gang. The green swords flashed with cold light and the sword beams could reach several feet away.
Then, they looked at the long spears and heavy halberds in the hands of the heavy cavalry in confusion and despair. There were also several feet long cold rays emitting from the heads of the spears and halberds.
Tuomai Realm, these heavy cavalrymen are all masters of Tuomai Realm who have cultivated Yuan Gang!
The problem is…
The masters of Tuomai Realm should be officers in the army, and there should not be many of them. However, at a glance, the heavy cavalrymen of Tuomai Realm in front of them should be more than tens of thousands.
"We've been tricked!" The last thought flashed through the minds of several sword guard leaders.
The intelligence was wrong. The strength of the Dayin Dynasty was definitely not what outsiders said... The Haojian Palace was tricked. All the Haojian Palace sword guards who had boldly raided Wuzhou City jumped into a sinkhole on their own initiative!
In the air, only a few albatrosses managed to escape back to the sky.
They wailed and circled slowly in the sky.
But their luck did not last long. A red shadow flew by, and the albatrosses turned into fireballs, wailing and falling straight down from the sky.
There was a huge creature with a wingspan of over twenty feet. It was extremely lucky and crashed into the city gate tower of the East Gate. With a loud bang, the city gate tower that was integrated with the city wall was not damaged at all. The huge creature was smashed to pieces, and blood and meat exploded hundreds of feet away, spraying all over the defenders on the city wall. Countless soldiers were cursing.
Sharp energy emanated from Lu Yi's body, preventing the blood mist from getting close to him.
He crossed his arms over his chest, jumped onto the parapet of the city wall, and sneered at Wu Heyun who was approaching step by step.
"Old man, are you going to take action? You have to think it through. If you take action, the nature of the matter will be different."
There was something else behind Lu Yi's words.
Wu Heyun was stunned, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Yi in horror.
"You...where are my two fellow apprentices?"
Wu Heyun suddenly woke up. He thought that Lu Yi must also be a disciple of the sect. Just like him, he was sent by the sect to be a pawn to fight for the fortune in Dayin.
But...which damn sect actually ambushed so deeply in the court of Dayin?
A 'gong' who is favored by the emperor!
Shaking his head vigorously, Wu Heyun threw away some messy thoughts.
The question now is, since Lu Yi is a disciple of the sect, then where did the two outer sect deacons who were traveling outside with several sword guard disciples a few days ago, and his fellow junior brothers Wu Heyun who had been friends with for decades, go?
According to their itinerary, they were most likely near Wuzhou City.
Where are the people?
Wu Heyun suddenly transformed into a human-shaped shadow, and rushed to the top of the city with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. He shouted loudly: "Where are the people?"
Beside Lu Yi, the three girls named Qingyou were watching the fun.
The sword guards of Haojian Palace rode such a huge albatross to attack the city. It was a scene that ordinary people rarely saw in their lifetime, let alone three young girls who were just starting out.
Including Qingyou, everyone's red lips parted slightly, their hands clenched into fists, and their palms were full of sweat.
Green lemons and green dills kept jumping, cheering for the soldiers operating the crossbows and encouraging them to kill more big birds.
The two women even had saliva oozing from the corners of their mouths.
These albatrosses... chicken thighs this big... if they are to be roasted or fried... well, deep-fried is not an option, after all, there isn't even a single oil pan several feet in size in the entire Wuzhou City.
In addition to chicken thighs, there are also chicken wings that are this big!
Hey, hey!
Not until all the albatrosses in the sky were defeated did the three women turn their attention back to Wu Heyun and others outside the city wall.
Seeing Wu Heyun suddenly transformed into light and rushed to the top of the wall, Qingyou and the other two girls shouted in unison: "Where did this old man come from? Get off!"
With a "swish", three green dragon-like sword lights rose into the air, spun around, and slashed towards Wu Heyun who had transformed into light.
Wu Heyun was shocked. What a weird thing! How could there be a sword cultivator in Wuzhou City?
Moreover, looking at the pure and majestic sword light, the agile and mysterious sword intent, it is clearly from the famous and authentic family of God's Sword, not from the unorthodox method of those who picked up some broken scales and claws and got in by chance.
He rushed too fast, and the three women drew their swords too quickly.
It can even be said that the three women's sword attacks were almost sneak attacks. They all flew out sword lights, and then they shouted in unison.
Before the sound was heard, the sword had already fallen on his head.
Wu Heyun shouted angrily: "Young man, you have no martial ethics..."
The sword light on his body was very strong. He had no time to draw his sword, so he could only mobilize his own magic power, turning it into a body-protecting sword light that shot out three feet. The dense sword light swirled around his body and collided with the three sword rainbows.
There was a series of crisp sounds, and scattered sword energy flew in all directions, causing the moat below to explode into waves dozens of feet high.
Wu Heyun groaned repeatedly as the three little girls joined forces to force him to retreat awkwardly in the air.
In just a few breaths, he was forced to retreat more than two miles. He was in such a miserable state that he almost fell flat on his face.
The three sword rainbows were relentless and continued to slash towards him.
Wu Heyun had a chance to catch his breath. He shouted loudly, opened his mouth, and an extremely bright golden rainbow gushed out. The golden sword light, which was more than twenty feet long, was like an evil dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it rushed towards the three green sword rainbows.
Four sword lights flashed in the air.
It was as if four ferocious pythons were strangling each other. There was an ear-piercing sound of metal collision. On the top of the city wall, the faces of the three women changed at the same time. They staggered back several steps. Their originally clear and bright eyes suddenly darkened, and blood oozed from the corners of their mouths.
There are three types of sword cultivation: controlling the sword with spirit, controlling the sword with blood, and controlling the sword with qi.
The most advanced method is to control the sword with the divine power, but the soul and the sword light are combined, and once they are damaged, the damage will be the most serious.
The three women's cultivation was far inferior to Wu Heyun's. Even when they joined forces, they could only barely stop Wu Heyun.
But when the swords come into contact, it will be a head-on close combat between the power of the soul and spirit.
The difference in their cultivation levels caused the three women to suffer serious injuries.
"The old thief is very vicious, Brother Lu, be careful!"
Qingyou shouted softly, and formed a sword gesture with the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and was about to point them at his own eyebrows, activating the secret technique to compete with Wu Heyun.
Lu Yu slapped Qingyou's palm and said, "Why are you trying so hard?"
The strong bow refined by the ancient bear demon jumped out of the Beiming Ring. Lu Yi casually took out three special armor-piercing arrows made of heavy alloy from the quiver carried by his personal guards.
There were three loud bangs.
Lu Yi pulled the strong bow, and three specially made arrows turned into light and shadow invisible to the naked eye, and instantly fell on Wu Heyun.
